In my environment, our Dev's (individuals or environments/subnets) don't have access to PROD or QA, and our CIT boxes are in DEV. Likewise, QA and PROD only have access to their own environments.

We have a build master that promotes a reviewed deployment package to QA and/or PROD environments, where the appropriate QA or PROD operations folks do the actual deployment.

It's a luxury to have the resources available for this, but it's a life saver, because it really is stupidly easy to make a simple mistake and totally screw things up.

The last time something similar happened to me, it happened to be at the end of a REALLY long day. And what do you know... that day was then made 24 hours longer, interspersed with the occasional cat nap while backups were being restored and verified.

Fun times. Not.
A vertical auto-hide toolbar, to me, is much more convenient than the clunky sidebar with no customization options that you're stuck with in 10.10.
Yeah it's Usually the same table, but salt is used to prevent hackers using already generated hash map of popular passwords to diff with your password hash directly without computing.
I hate to be the negative guy, and they were hashing passwords better than 90% of the sites, but it would be SO easy to completely neutralize password leakage when the attacker only has access to the database.

https://blog.filippo.io/salt-and-pepper/

tl;dr: Hardcode a second salt in your application code or in an environment variable. Then a database dump is not enough anymore to do any kind of bruteforce.

It's simple, free and you can retroactively apply it.

EDIT: I addressed some of the points raised in this thread here https://blog.filippo.io/salt-and-pepper/#editedtoaddanoteonr...
It's not the profit that you're trying to capture, it's the flexibility gained from having working capital. In that 17 day window, you can complete another sale without any additional outside money or pay for an unexpected expense. Having working capital is huge for quick turnaround businesses;

Agreed regarding sit/stand desk. The prices of these things are off-putting, but I was able to get a new workstation for around $600.

I ended up ordering a base [0], and bolted on an 8'x3' melamine sheet from Home Depot [1] (they chopped off 1 foot, lengthwise, in the store).

Three extra things I had to do to make this work:

1.) I had read that unsupported melamine will sag. I bought a thin steel beam [2] to add support in the middle. They chopped it in half in-store and it fits nicely between the base and the top.

2.) Iron-on edge banding [3] will "finish" the sides.

3.) I failed a couple times at getting the adjustment console attached to the bottom of the table. You have to pre-drill some holes near the width of your screw, and you have to make sure your screw isn't so long that it comes out the other side(!). The diameter of the head matters too. You'll see why when you see the console. Order the base first, and when you go to Home Depot take the console thing with you to find the appropriate screws.

Now I have a sturdy, 8 foot(!) adjustable desk. If it starts sagging in a couple years (and it very well might), I can spend $25 for a new top. I should point out that I'm not that good at building things, and this wasn't too bad. The hardest part was getting an 8'x3' board from Home Depot back to my house (they'll rent you a truck for like $20 if you need it).

At the same time, I switched my chair to a red exercise ball ($30 at Target). I think this was a really good idea (even if one doesn't change their desk), if only for the fact that when I'm standing on a conference call I have this giant ball to mess around with, now. Others might be able to speak to health benefits.

I also had to ease into standing, like others have mentioned. I started with standing for two half-hour chunks a day, for maybe three days, then bumped it up to two 1-hour chunks a day, etc. Now I'm at about two 3-hour stints a day, which is probably where I'll stay.

In three months with this setup, my back feels 10 years younger and I'm much better at standing (both the state of standing as well as standing up from a sitting position*), getting out of bed and bending down to pick stuff up (most notably shoes and small family members). I also walk taller and have better posture.

Can you run this backwards and print simple lisp code that has a given output?
I didn't compare to the C/C++ implementation, it was harder to get that working on windows... I did compare to a JS implementation[0] running in node, which was about half as fast though... mainly because at the time many node modules requiring a build step didn't run well in windows, and my target environment was windows.

It's interesting to see how many people so dearly want his assertions to be true.
Yes, that is common. Back when I used to work for an ISP, all of our main competitors have whitelisted speedtest servers to sidestep their shaping and sometimes even ran their own, just to look good on the results page. The fact that other webs instantly load might be just an implementation quirk; the QoS might get reset for a second when loading the speedtest page.

You can see what ISP traffic shaping actually does when you have a server on reliable backbone link outside of given ISP network by trying to download or upload large file to it and measuring. Bandwidth changes usually aren't too smooth and often you can see "stairs" on measurement graph as the speed drops the more data you transmit.

This shows how the whole "speed UP TO xyz mbits" marketing trick really works.
The computer could probably store moves that ended up in a win. Or collecting statistics on what moves have a higher chance ending up in a win.
This seems to me like another case of the all-too-common, "We don't understand basic trademark law, so we're going to be petulant children about it." This attitude has also run amok in the craft beer world, too. It's rather disheartening.
Server went down, should be good now :)
Thanks for letting me know what the proper term is. I think it's very interesting.
It was partially about gaming CBO scoring for PAYGO federal budget rules, and partially a firebreak in case the EV market really took off and/or other mandates came into effect and tax credits weren't needed to keep it viable anymore.

What was particularly badly designed with this credit was the per-manufacturer phaseout instead of an industrywide phaseout. That's had the effect of punishing early EV entrants.
I can't resist going further offtopic! Apologies to the thread.

> Before that he was a scientific genius, and then, almost from that moment, he seems to descend into madness

I'm not sure. With Reich, everyone picks the point at which they get off the train—almost no one is willing to ride all the way to the end with him. But people pick different points at which to bail.

For some it is when he broke with Freud around the libido theory (no one cares about that any more but it was a big deal at the time). For some it is when he went into radical politics. For some it is his advocacy for adolescent sexuality—there his views (though still radical) no longer seem nearly as extreme as they used to—but it is society that changed, not Reich. For a long time that was by far the biggest black mark against him in public.

For some, it is when he broke the taboo against touch in psychotherapy. That one's hard to appreciate now because in retrospect, it was a breakthrough, leading to all the somatic therapies that came later, including the trauma work that is currently fashionable.

For most people nowadays, the breaking point with Reich is when he claims to discover orgone energy—that's what splits him off from the current mainstream. In this view, Reich is a genius when he invents body-oriented psychotherapy and analyzes the psychology of fascism, but goes mad when he starts doing laboratory science and making grandiose claims in biology and physics.

Then there are some who stick with Reich through that, but when he starts manipulating weather with his cloudbuster (dramatized by Kate Bush! [1]), that's too much—that's when he becomes a nut. A few stick with him even past that, but when he starts going on about UFOs, they're out. There are even a few diehards who can handle Reich all the way through the UFOs but feel like he loses it when defending himself at trial. It's like a customer retention funnel!

My point is that "He was ok up to $X but went crazy at $Y" has always been the template of responses to Reich. How we fill in $X and $Y probably says more about us than it does about him. I hadn't heard the radiation theory before, though—that's an interesting one.

You assumed correctly, but the privately held B class gives more votes. 10 per share to A's 1, iirc.
The fact that this is similar to something already happened reassures me a little. May Lambda and other FAAS frameworks be considered the next layer of abstraction? (even if cloud providers are using containers underneath)
What is fundamentally wrong with Bill Gates earning and having that much more than others is that he has, in reality, proportionally more power. That isn't democracy in the end.
It's actually interesting to look at the history of the income tax in the United States. The highest marginal income tax rate was at a crazy amount (> 70% !!!!!) during wartime in the 1910s and 1940s, corresponding with the strong-regulation Progressive era, and then New Deal policies. These were times of rapidly falling income inequality and rising standards of living, eventually leading to 1950s prosperity. Always good remembering the context in which we live in, and it can help us figure out what we can do to face our problems today.

The article that this thread is based off of is literally the opposite take from my original post. The article claims that America's 1% is responsible for the wealth inequality. That is why I posted my comment. My opinion, and the "majority" opinion according to you, is that wealth inequality is because of Fed policies, not the 1% boogey-man.

The people protesting are not protesting the Fed. No institution (i.e. media, grassroots, journalists) criticizes the Fed - it's always the 1%.

But, I guess you wouldn't understand, since you make baseless assumptions about internet strangers. How would you know my net worth - do you think there aren't billionaires that share my "mainstream" opinion?

Your fallacious logic and personal attacks against me do not diminish my argument. In fact, since you cannot attack the substance of my argument, you have already admitted defeat.
Yes. I took more vitamin D. I also increased magnesium, K2 MK-7, etc... I had to start small because I had a lot of calcium built up in my gut and vascular system. Starting too high all at once increases risk of hyperglycemia.
I liked this article quite a bit, as I love to program in Lisp (well, Scheme) and I'm a clinician with a lot of experience treating bipolar disorder. That is, the real bipolar, which isn't what the author is talking about.

The kind of behavior referred to in the article is certainly common. I've know many people who show this "crash and burn" pattern. Easily bored, distractible, procrastinators to the end. Black and white, all or none is their theme. Very good or lousy at any given task, usually performance varies randomly, that being a source of consternation for all involved. The unpredictability and inconsistency are vexing and corrosive in nearly all domains of life.

They may be subject to moodiness, reacting strongly to criticism, and may blow up disproportionately. Such individuals may become truly depressed but that's not usual. Rather they suffer profound discouragement when things get hard and overwhelming, a state that's almost inevitable, if transient, like thunderstorms propagating flash floods of high drama and rapid dissipation.

It's a condition that often responds to treatment, the right kinds of counseling, in some cases carefully applied medication therapies are useful. The college-age students who are flailing around struggling to gain traction often respond the best to proper guidance and approaches.

The professor observes correctly the tremendous suffering and waste of talent that occurs. What's important is to see it for what it is and having seen it doing the things that can heal it, in the end giving no cause for pessimism at all.
Pretty good service. I very recently took it.

3 pax @ $30 (€25) each for a 5.5h trip, or 250 mi (400km). On top of it, the driver paid for gas and tolls using an alt route to save money and time. Tolls and gas = $67 (€54). The main route would have cost him $90 (€75), meaning the cost to the pax.

It's great if there's not a lot of "bla-bla-bla" always going on (which happened once, as a driver wouldn't stop talking). Another complaint (on the driver's side) is that the company has started to request commission in some countries, and this is causing some drivers to seek out alternative service.
Distributed as in network-transparent. Inferno inherited Plan9's ability to deal with resources independently of location.
Regarding information overload, it seems that this is on track to get much worse before it gets better (if it ever does get better). Subsequently, I think we are building up to a large scale consumer backlash or implosion against "hyper connected-ness" as no one will be able to physically parse, consume and manage the deluge of bits and choices thrown at them. I think we'll get to a point of peak information and at which point it will be more hip to be offline...at least that's the hypothesis that's been ever so slowly nagging me in the back of my mind.
Only unless pilot/co-pilot roles were the same. If it were the pilot trying to crash the plane - there’d still be a problem
The thing about those two flights is the pilots tried to make it look like an accident - but was ultimately determined to be intentional.

In this case it would seem that no effort was made to hide the fact it was intentional.
It's already been done in ~500 communities in the United States, according to the article. Capitalism failed so hard that governments could actually do it better.

AFAIK, no one has died yet because of it.

Having massive followings on fringe sites yields less legitimacy then having a massive following on one of the mainstays of the internet.
Not much more than a big gorilla with a lot of guns. That's why maintaining the principles of neutrality is so important - and why we must react so severely when someone breaches the principles of neutrality to try and install their preferred politicians into power.
as noted by others, you do not need an SSL cert to be on the web. You need an SSL cert to use https, which is something entirely different.
There have been closer elections in recent history. Why are you giving this particular one such outsized proportion?

You didn't see this sort of reaction in 2000, and that was far far closer.

And to be clear, this election was 306 to 232. That is considered a landslide in my book (meaning my 40+ years of living). And in percentages, you can see just how poorly Trump performed in this election - 51.4% to 46.9%. 2000 was 47.9% to 48.4% (technically a negative 0.5% difference).

So I think your argument is completely disingenuous.
I should have included the /s, my bad. I thought the whole “10 off from a nazi number” part was obvious.

I’m now kind of depressed it wasn’t.
Besides horrible management---echoing Zigurd, a friend and contemporary, I was at one point reliably told that manufacturing, R&D and marketing were paying no attention to each other, such that manufacturing had built a factory that couldn't make the latest hardware R&D had developed, which was done completely independently of what marketing thought was needed---they were killed by non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs.

Basically they couldn't amortize the NRE for their custom hardware and later most especially chips (from memory, first, a chipset that spread the CPU across several chips, rather like the one Western Digital did that among other things enabled the LSI-11, then of course an all in one chip) across the huge number of units that Intel and Motorola sold. They also canceled their RISC rethink of their basic low level architecture on the day it was supposed to tape out; don't know if it had a low enough gate count to be like the first SPARC processor, which was implemented on 2 20,000 gate arrays, one for the CPU and one for the floating point unit (gate arrays are all alike until a few layers of metal are put on top).

So soon enough you could run a full Common Lisp, almost certainly without as much run-time error checking, faster on cheap commodity hardware than on a Lisp Machine.

Something like that seems to have happened to Azul Systems, which apparently isn't developing any new hardware, but is selling their version of the HotSpot JVM to run on x86_64 hardware. A prior generation of their pauseless GC (vs. 1 second per GiB, a big deal if your heap is 100s of GiB) required a software write or read barrier that cost ~20% of performance (all this from memory). It's likely that soon enough, even if it perhaps ran slower than their custom hardware, it was a lot cheaper to run it on commodity Intel/AMD hardware.
Excellent point. One thing I notice in the discussion about AZ is the fact that the risk for thrombosis is not really put into context. One very strong comparison is this: when taking a 6-hour flight the risk for thrombosis is about 5 times higher than the risk currently associated with the AZ-vaccination (ref. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17351849/). Still most of us will happily board a plane once this is possible again. I'm not saying we shouldn't be critical about side-effects associated with the AZ-vaccine, I'm just missing a bit of context.
That’s interesting. I thought it gave immunity against criminal prosecution if the officer «accidentally» did something criminal.

The obvious solution is to ensure that police are actually tried and sentenced like regular citizens if they break criminal law, but I suppose we can’t have nice things.
Just did it a few weeks ago. Thousands of people, never felt unsafe, and saw zero cops.

Your point?
It's not (going to be) as blatant and obvious as popular media are portraying either. The robot overlords won't be tentacled red-glowy-eyed things, but friendly helpers.

And it won't be sudden. People will be eased into it over time. And not even that much time; we went from nothing to basically having one or more permanent on tracking devices on ourselves at all time within just a decade or two, and we freely give permission for companies to track us because they (say they) offer convenience in return.

It's not an oppressive regime, it's companies. Which funnel money to the regime so they get a free pass on doing whatever they like.
It might not solve your problem. It does solve problems for other people like me though.
Lots of answers to your questions aren't available.

I'm incredibly happy that we, as humanity, are advancing with science - the mRNA vaccines are also incredible. The part that is not incredible is that we, as society, are in most cases still behave like we did in the stone age: greedy, selfish, narcissistic. Because of this tech that should be used to help those in need is most commonly used to "help" those with enough funds or means.

Cheering for science advancements that are far out of reach for the majority leaves a bitter taste.

I thought about that, but https://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.h... makes it pretty clear Google Style is 4 spaces.

It's under Python Style Rules | Indentation.
JS is getting nearly every Dart feature with ES6 and ES7 and whatever typing system makes it into the standard. There is massive JS innovation going on if you look at the future standards coming.

Most mail clients let you associate a real name with an email address, so that's not really an issue. Thunderbird (and probably others) even capture incoming names/emails and let you use them.
This is a refreshing and interesting suggestion for a voting system, and it seems like David and others here are far more knowledgeable about voting systems than I am.

I have been thinking about a voting system for a while and I really need feedback from people who know this stuff - I have a feeling there's large flaws with it. Here's the general idea:

· Each voter can delegate his/her vote to any other voter, in any number of levels. I.e., if Alice delegates her vote to Bob, and Bob delegates his vote to Carol, Carol carries three votes.

· Delegation of votes can happen at any time, so Alice can delegate her vote to Bob until further notice.

· Each voter can change their delegate at any time.

· Each voter can vote for a motion. If the voter has previously delegated his/her vote, the delegate will not carry that voters voting power in this motion. So, if Alice uses her vote in motion 1, Bob only carries one vote and Carlos 2, but only in that motion.

· Each voter can delegate his/her vote to different voters in different issues; Bob may delegate his vote to Carlos in financial issues, and to Alice in justice issues.

My hope is that this would scale to e.g. a nation state, as an alternative direct democracy. Today in Sweden, we delegate our votes to 349 MPs every four years. When introducing my system, that would be the initial state. After that, voters would start delegating their vote to other people that they trust, while using their vote in issues that they know or feel strongly about.

This is probably an old idea, and as I stated earlier, I'm guessing there are major flaws with it, so fire away!
Replacing a broken system with an even more broken system is not an improvement.
I just created a gist here: https://gist.github.com/942218

Should be a nice middle ground?
