What a head-in-the-sand comment. Are you very wealthy? Congrats! You can ignore the flames for a little longer than the rest of us.

lol, I would love to hear how you arrived at this conclusion.

This was a great post, one of the best I've seen on this topic at HN.

But why is the cost never discussed or disclosed in these conversations? I feel like I'm going crazy, there is so much written extolling the virtues of these tools but with no mention of what it costs to run them now. It will surely only get more expensive from here!

It's worse than that, BF6's anticheat is kernel level and requires the Windows-only version secure boot to be enabled, at least on my motherboard. There is no way I'm going to faff about with my BIOS when rebooting just to play this game.

I play around with a Guix install in a VM, and with less than half of my system resources, a `guix pull` with a `guix system reconfigure ...` takes about 10 minutes. That said, if a pull happens to include a kernel update it can take much longer. I think pinning large packages (like the kernel) that may not need incidental updating is key to keeping pull times lower.

Brand loyalty might matter when the cost of a good is relatively low and the availability high. I can basically choose between coke or Pepsi anywhere, and they cost about the same, so why not go with my favorite?

For airlines availability with a preferred carrier is not guaranteed, and prices can vary wildly. Do I have so much brand loyalty that I will pay perhaps 2x the cost? Like most people, I wouldn't.

In terms of availability and cost, LLM providers are much closer to Coke than to an airline.

Not entirely true, there are other PKE and DSA algorithms that were/are a part of the competition that used problems not related to lattices. However, the lattice-based options were often among the fastest and smallest.

This sounds interesting, would you be willing to share what you have so far?

You are probably already aware, but there is an official extension that offers this functionality via sand-boxed tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

This is super exciting for me, I am very interested in MPC/PSI but I haven't been introduced to much about it outside of academia. A ton of potential applications obviously but limited by computational power, as I understand it. Would you mind sharing what company(ies) you work with/for? If you can't or don't want to disclose publicly you can email me: kyoji1@gmail.com or jowens17@fau.edu. I would love to hear more!

Here's my PSI project if interested: https://github.com/dowensagain/EfficientMultiPartyPSI

I've implemented a toy version of a 3+ MPC protocol for graduate school, specifically private set intersection. Would you mind sharing what kind of MPC protocols you design and if you can for what types of applications? I don't often see this discussed on HN and my curiosity is piqued!

Does the pen still work? What about multi-touch and pressure sensitivity?

The Microsoft Courier! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Courier

Would you mind mentioning who you use for hosting/email/domain registration? I'm doing research for a large migration and I love hearing what works for others in similar situations.

Love it. I don't love using LastPass, but I don't want to deal with the rough edges of KeePass either. Looking forward to the Android app. +1 for autofill API.

Thanks for sharing this, I just turned 30 and started a CompSci Master's track 1.5 years ago. Very encouraging to hear your success!

I thought CrossOver contributed to Wine development significantly?

Well documented by the Internet Historian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p4h3jwJob0&list=PLHTeAiqTTl...

I believe its referring to the compact theme(s) that have been a part of nightly (and developer edition) for a long time.

Congrats Firefox team! I've been using the latest Nightly releases (for container tabs!) as my daily driver and it has been a rock-solid experience.

Thanks for the hard work

On my Note 4 you can disable 'Multi-Window' entirely, have you looked into this?

The front page of Reddit was littered with derogatory Pao posts for days on end following the shutdown of /r/fph and firing of Victoria. I'm sure she also received a large amount of private hate messages too.

No Dashlane love? https://www.dashlane.com/

Been using their premium service for about 2 years now, couldn't live without it.

Theres so much vitriol toward Microsoft in this thread regarding them "using" Krahulik as a PR pawn in their nefarious marketing schemes. He has written extensively about his experience using the Surface as a tool for professional illustration work (and for recreation) in the past; his thoughts on the Surface Pro 3 are not his first rodeo.

As someone who has been looking to buy a Surface for illustration work, it's so encouraging to see Microsoft even engaging with Krahulik, since it indicates to me that 'Artist' is a group of people they are actively pursuing, and willing to cater their device toward. He is an accomplished artist, and was a good pick to get feedback on this particular use of the device. It is also great PR and goodwill for Microsoft, but Krahulik's concerns seemed very genuine, and the fixes to them will benefit everyone like me who are looking to use their Surface for the same purpose.

Care to share which plugin you were using? Theres more than a few out there and I'd be hesitant to seriously use any of them without a recommendation.

I love Windows 8. At first the separate "Desktop" and "Metro" environments are confusing, but once you realize you can go into desktop mode and stay there while utilizing all the new utility offered by the interface (Windows + Q anyone? It's a more robust version of Spotlight) the whole thing clicks and becomes a real joy to use.

I believe 90% of the backlash is from people who have never used Windows 8, or gave it literally 30 seconds of use in Best Buy then came home to post online about it.

Give it a real shot, its fun!

I really feel the need to plug Nearly Free Speech, my host of choice:

https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/

Definitely not aimed at large(r) sites, but for my static sites and a few WP installations it works fantastically. The control panel takes some getting used to, but the "pay for what you use" business model more than makes up for the rough edges. Its all À la carte and I love it, I've been a customer for 5 years with no problems.

Did you even bother reading the article? As a designer I find most of the options presented to be humorous, or sub-standard at best. Nearly all of them miss the mark far worse than Gap's own new logo does. I wouldn't expect any serious submissions simply because why would anyone work for free for a multi-billion dollar corporation?

So the author spends half the article talking about how lame and counter-productive cloning is, ie "...Instead they tweak a little here, add a little there, and launch it as a variation of the original. That’s evolution, not stealing." then goes on to say that's Google's only choice?

I don't believe it. Google wasn't first to market with apps like Gmail or Google Docs, but their implementation is arguably much better than the competition. Why cant Google do this with social networking?

He says: "What Google shouldn’t do – must not do – is try to tie the service to other Google products for the wrong reasons." This makes no sense. I think a social networking service that utilized Google's other services effectively would be a very powerful thing. I could see tight integration between events and your Google calender, or sharing Google docs/waves easily with friends. Google has a massive portfolio of very useful services; it would be foolhardy to not use them if they were to attempt a "Facebook clone" as the author so lovingly calls it.

Agreed, especially the sentiment that multimedia design is synonymous with Flash in the design world.

Interface/UX design is severally un-recgonized by large organizations like the AIGA, and most 'web-design' discussion centers around designerly portfolio sites, long pages mimicking print design, and of course Flash sites.

As a designer with an interest in CS I find myself constantly torn between two worlds, since most people on the design side don't care much for the CS and most people on the CS side don't care much for Paul Rand's or Pete Modrian's.
