So, who's getting started on that alternative DNS system? Until a formal infrastructure emerges, it can probably be cobbled together with a combination of BIND servers and browser plugins, I'd imagine...
Well, it was an article for our users and our audience about the danger of DNS hijacking. It was not intended as a full explanation of the issue and I didn't even submit to HN (which I only do for our better posts :)).
First:

In 1903, he published The Principles of Mathematics: Volume 1 (no volume 2 was ever published) [...]

Later:

[...] it did not hurt the whole impression that it took until more than 80 pages into volume 2 [...]
As for other virtualization products, I tried in inside an OpenVZ setup (Proxmox 1.6). A container almost took down the hardware node. It was very slow, although responsive. "vzctl stop" timed out. Just a reboot brought back that machine. Therefore, I am living under the impression that any container based virtualization technology is vulnerable due to the usage of the same kernel for all the available virtual machines.

Proxmox ran inside a VirtualBox instance. All the allocated memory to the virtual machine was taken by the exploit. Even more, after rebooting the VirtualBox machine, it leaked the whole memory used by the affected Proxmox. The only way I could get it back was to stop the VirtualBox machine.
I didn't pick up that it was email, but if it's only email then it should necessitate much less worry - take ErrantX's template and do it now!

( perhaps without the bit about being a student - I wouldn't put that in personally either as it's not his concern, but I also think that worrying about that is one example of where i would be worrying to the point of delaying or avoiding sending it and wonder if that applies to you as well. That line isn't going to make a world changing difference if you leave it in or not, so if using the template as-is makes it easier to send the email then use it as is).
exactly. the ipod touch is cheap. so is the ipad. the iphone is expensive mainly because of cellular service, not the hardware.

Apple will make a run for more that the premium market. with an expanded vertical strategy. i.e. great combo of hard/soft/os/arm a4 chip.
Infographics (and the Times...) trend towards informing the uninformed, 538 is strongly geared towards the already-savvy. I can't see a mix that doesn't dilute one or the other and it seems clear who will wear the pants if you will.

That said I'm happy for Nate and don't begrudge him one iota; I'm sad that I'll likely be losing a magnificent resource but it's his blood sweat and tears and it's his to do with as he pleases.
We have fully implemented Apple's MFi authentication scheme/protocol for all communication between the iPhone/iPad/iPodTouch platforms and the WakeMate wristband. This involves the special Apple auth IC you mentioned.
"and no flagship Android device available on T-Mobile excluding the Nexus one."

T-mobile has no flagship device except for their flagship device? I don't get it. The N1 is just as good as the HTC incredible which was just released on verizon. I don't think there's going to be better hardware than the Nexus on any carrier for at least 6 months
modernizr reports that Safari 4.0.5 doesn't support MP3/M4A so I don't think they could use it since it's broken.
What I had in mind when I wrote the grandparent/reply is that bringing in guilt in the form of

would make it fair game for him to bring up any of his problems. I completely agree with you that business is business. He's not running a shelter for orphaned kittens or anything.
Because staying on point isn't a civil rights issue, jackass. This is why most blogs aren't considered real journalism and require, as Jobs said this week, "oversight" to be considered fully legit.

If Walt Mossberg suddenly digressed into his favorite movie or what he likes for dinner while he's reviewing a product, I would call that unprofessional.

So what it means is people like Gruber are pseudo-professional journalists who are mixing amateurish diary entries about their personal life and topics they don't know about along with the commentary that actually brought them alot of hits in the first place.

And don't even get started about "free". Because it's not subscription but he gets paid thousands through advertising, but I'm not "paying for it"? Just like more legit journalists do. And if something's free I can't complain I suppose...

case closed.
Still though this is not a checks and balances approach. It's a covering you butt approach. True reform would include third party oversight, not just internal investigations.
Considering he made the website only public just before the event, tech like this wouldn't have stopped anything.

I love Tumblr, been using it for nearly 4 years! While I agree that self expression matters, at least for me, there has to be more than that. MySpace also allowed users to change up and remix their profile page with custom CSS/JavaScript code but they still lost users to Facebook's clean design. MySpace became a digital ghetto, made evident by the glitter graffiti-like images posted user's comments. What I like about Tumblr is not only that it allows me to customize my tumblog but that it helps me with a set of great looking templates!

Thank you for sharing your experience. If Arch is too difficult to install in a Vaio, I'll try something more mainstream like Debian or Ubuntu. Perhaps if I just choose to use either the intel graphics or the nvidia and give up on the switch I can get it working. I'll share my experience!
Why is myspace an apt comparison? Myspace never had a significant market share worldwide.
It all seems like chump change when compared to the holdings of the CEO and founders (according to the article they hold over half the stock). Google is in amazing entity when you think about that. The smartest people in the world work their asses off, and over half of that value goes to 3 people. The ultimate pyramid scheme ;)
When you said style, I thought you meant where the braces go, as that's what a lot of people seem to complain about.

Now that you've elaborated, I'll certainly agree that it's not a tutorial for learning how to program, but I don't think it fails all that hard. And some of your criticism misses the mark too. None of the examples are substantive enough to warrant object orientation, there are no threads in C, etc. And ints that aren't 32 bits? When the book came out, tons of ints weren't 32 bits or even power of 2 sized. I never picked up that assumption from my copy. And I'm not aware of anything that won't actually compile.

The dangers of using bad functions is real, but the alternatives don't exist in the standard. It's unfair to complain that a book that describes the C standard only describes what's in the standard. C99 didn't change all that much about the language.
The plants this statement is referring to are cereal grains.

Agreed, it’s some skilled and enjoyable writing here. But I think the author was suggesting that the NFT “movement” is actually different than the counterculture of the 1960s, in that it’s rooted in financial aspiration and capitalism, rather than rejecting it in favor of meaning.

> I'll also admit to having difficulty understanding how is all this distinct from non-CRDT replication mechanisms.

This is because "CRDT" is not about a new or different approach to replication, although for some reason this has become a widely held perception. CRDT is about a new approach to the _analysis_ of replication mechanisms, using order theory. If you read the original CRDT paper(s) you'll find old-school mechanisms like Lamport Clocks.

So when someone says "we're using a CRDT" this can be translated as: "we're using an eventually consistent replication mechanism proven to converge using techniques from the CRDT paper".
The calculus book my university used was a loose-leaf "custom edition" which came in shrink wrap. My cal IV prof told the class first day: "I cannot advise you to go down to the copy shop and run off copies of the relevant chapters for your friends. That would be theft and is illegal. Again, I cannot recommend that you go down to the copy shop next to Pizza Hut on Jackson Avenue and run off copies of the relevant chapters for your friends. That is illegal."

I am not sure how to reconcile this with the fact that there has been a global pandemic for the past year or so. Perhaps I am missing something obvious. Can anybody explain?

It would be odd for the milder variant to have a significant protective effect at that scale and not have spread further.
I went to see Mesos early in their life in their San Francisco office after a joint customer put us in touch.

Never in my life did I meet such an arrogant group of people.

First, they left us waiting in reception for an hour.

They eventually took the meeting over lunch, where we had to watch them inhaling their free food.

Some guy in plastic-leather trousers spent most of the hour lecturing us about all of the multi million deals they were doing, and how they weren't interested in speaking with anyone who couldn't write 7 figure checks.

Not once did they ask about our business or even our names if I remember correctly.

I had a similar experience with other west coast tech companies. Too arrogant for their own good and not able to put in the hard yards with stodgy old enterprise companies even when they have good technology and are early to market.
Funny enough, I was just doing this today to get into my neighbor's wifi. I've already gotten into the WEP ones in my area, so I wanted more of a challenge :)

Keep in mind that you need a good dictionary to work with. Brute forcing, even at 50,000 PMK/s, is going to take 49 days with just lowercase letters for an 8 character password. Throw in numbers and it jumps up to 22 months.

If you really want in on your neighbors wifi that badly, I think social engineering is the cheapest and fastest route ;)

Yes. You're a debt collector, and you need to speak to Melanie. Unless Melanie is looking for a job as a debt collector, chances are she has unpaid debt.

Even if you try to conceal where you're from, short of lying, you can't hide it if someone asks "Uh, why? Who are you?". Boom - you've violated Melanie's privacy. And what if you've yourself been "contacted" by an agency in that way, and you now see those ads for your friend?
I really didn't have a dispute with the using of the old tests to study, but it probably would have helped them if they had realized that the tests they were studying had nothing to do with the current course. I changed my tests each semester expect for the first two questions of the final (write an insert sort and a selection sort). I figured it was just good form to change the tests as you might have learned something as an instructor from the previous year or had different programming assignments.

Story part 2: Three classes before the final I announced that the first two questions would be the two sorts we covered. I reminded the classes and wrote them on the board for the next two classes (it was kinda important they learn those for reasons I really don't remember). I arrived early for the final and was asked, in a joking manner, "What's on the test". I read the first two questions. I am pretty sure I allowed a 3x5 card for notes.

I had a space for comments at the end of the test. A senior from another major (engineering) wrote a rather pointed opinion on giving out the answer to the first two questions and how I babying the freshman. It was rather good (if insulting) reading and "had a lot of energy" as the other TA said. She sheepishly came to apologize the next day (I think she hoped I hadn't read it yet). I told her she had got her "A" but that she needn't have worried as no freshman answered the first two questions correctly.

So, knowing the answer before hand relies on knowing.
Yep, I can personally attest that a director at one large corporation has a BOUGHT undergraduate degree, and no other education.

He inherited the position from the hardworking founder through being extremely good at people skills and corporate backstabbing (he should have a degree in that :) ). It saddens me and makes me a bit more cynical every time I see him.

The corporation survives because these monsters are mostly self-sustaining, and those at lower levels do the actual work (I wouldn't give it a chance if some disruption came along, though).
Is this fundamentally different from lying to investors and telling them that you have more traction than you do, or even altering your financials? Yes, that would be illegal and telling users you have more users than you do probably isn't, I'm not sure they're that different ethically.
In all likelihood I'm just putting my own ignorance on display, but I'd never heard of Move before the Kinect came out.

Not to mention YouTube is all but unusable now. I understand that this may be local ISPs trying to kill YouTube by throttling it. But all I know is that I have a 75/35 Mbps account from Verizon FIOS and everything else is unbelievably fast but YouTube which hardly ever works anymore during peak times.

I don't what is more crazy, the price tag or the dozens of customer reviews from people claiming to have bought the product.

Don't know why parent comment was killed when the article contains a similar assertion (the other way). While not a lot is gained by using loaded words like "theft", it is a simple fact that using ad blockers causes the owners of many of the sites that you visit to receive less revenue than they would otherwise. One can argue that one is perfectly justified in doing this (e.g. many typical examples of this are included below), but one can not truthfully say that they are not taking money away from the sites they visit. (Yes I know about PPC ads and how you never click them. Other than AdSense, the vast majority of advertising out there is sold on a CPM basis.)
"Statistics reinvented for the internet age" looks like a cheap knock-off of the long known bayesian statistics.
I'm not sure writing yet another pid 1 tool is such a good idea. I have been using Docker in production for a few months now and I use supervisord as pid 1. I am able to hook it to most app servers (python,rails,etc) as well as rsyslogd . logging is a big pain on Docker, and you should think of your logging strategy before the pid 1. How are you rotating your logs and is your pid 1 restarting your app on failure? For us, supervisord does all that.

We run syslog and logrotate inside the container (using a volume) and it works fairly well for us. Plus supervisord comes with a pretty kickass tool - supervisorctl - and the conf file is fairly well documented.

Optimizing the RAM/CPU usage of supervisors and rsyslogd is not very critical - it doesn't use too much.

I actually learned a lot from baseimage - but dont know why they went with runit rather than supervisord.

Would really,really,REALLY love to learn to do thus with systemd.

EDIT: ahh.. forgot that their script was based on runit. My mistake - but dont think I will change over from supervisord anytime soon.
I'm sure they don't have a particular interest in conservation of the human kind too.
> shotgun stochastic ballistic hill-climbing works at least as well

This is the method that I'd like a lot of these stochastic optimization algorithms compared to, especially genetic algorithms.

At least brute force sampling of the entire space is guaranteed to find the global extremum at some point, an argument I've heard for random sampling & minimising vs. GAs for random structure searching in materials science (a very high dimensional problem). It doesn't code any assumptions about the surface in, so can't be optimal, but that can be a benefit if you want to find something surprising.
Portable C significantly restricts the machine primitives available, e.g. no explicit SIMD, no explicit control over struct/memory layout, no obviously efficient way to represent type information (say, for implementation of a moving GC), no ability to access machine registers (again GC), ...
In the early days of film, scenes would be staged in a theatrical sort of tableau, with the camera stuck in one spot and characters moving around the frame. This is called a master shot - it includes all the geography of the scene. And while that's still a good way to stage things for many purposes, filmmakers quickly discovered that cutting between different perspectives - eg moving from a wide shot to successively more intimate closeups, that mirror the intensity of the characters' emotions. This is called coverage. Watch any film with the sound turned off and you'll be struck by how many scenes just consist of someone's face looking off the left or right of the frame.

But that means a whole bunch of extra decisions about where to put the camera - which are the director's job to decide. If you mess those up, viewers will get confused about the interior geography of the scene, who's looking at whom etc.; you see me looking like this: (o < o), then I show something else, then you see me looking like this: (o > o) - you naturally assuming I'm looking at a third thing that's off to my left. Why?

In any scene there's a primary character and the object of his/her attention - usually another character, but maybe an object or even an imaginary point in space. The line between the main character's eyes and the object of their gaze is called 'the line of interest'. So when you're placing the camera, you need to pick one side of this line for the master shot and stay on it for all the coverage. It's also called the 180 degree rule, because that line would split an imaginary circle into two halves of 180 degrees each. That way when you cut between different actors, they're always facing in more-or-less the same direction and the viewer intuitively knows where everyone is. There's also a 30-degree rule which says that successive cuts should involve a change of at least 30 degrees (relative to the midpoint of the line of interest) so as to avoid the sensation of a 'jump' - a movement so minimal that the brain is more inclined to scribe it to a missing bit of footage than a real change in perspective. Of course that can be (ab)used for artistic effect.

If there are more than 2 people in a scene then there can be multiple lines of interest, but there is only ever one at once. If you want to move to a different one, you need to establish the new line. You could pan the camera, follow one of the characters as they walk into or out of the frame, pivot by showing three characters and then cutting across a secondary line when the third person talks, and so on.

Camera angle choices are the biggest part of the director's job during production, and probably the most stressful, because a) every new camera angle requires, on average, at least an hour of additional work for the whole crew, and b) they define the style of a film, from amateurish to visionary - and while audiences can be tricked with the magic of editing, the actors and crew can generally read the director's level of skill during shooting and will respond accordingly.

Alright I take that back and stand corrected haha.
Holy shit! Thanks for the tip! My MBP is only a little over one year old, but disabling transparencies gave a peppy speed-up. I have also noticed a more "sensitive" left-swipe on the trackpad since Yosemite -- it is infuriating to be constantly trying to scroll down a page and have it send my back a page in a browser.
One big question which I have not seen addressed is major release support. Has that changed with the quick release cycle? I think it used to be current and two previous major versions --which in a 2yr release cycle means six years of patches/bug fixes. But with the current release cycle could mean shorter support, unless they support current plus three or four previous releases.

For some orgs LTS matters, for others it may not.
Two come to mind:

10.6: No new consumer facing features, just a big ironing out of 10.5.

10.7: Removed 2D Spaces layout to a left/right one. Totally ruined my workflow. Also got rid of scroll-bars.

10.8: ?

10.9: Not exactly OS level, but iWork took a huge backslide feature wise.

10.10: Blurs everywhere. It can put a hit on overall performance of applications, especially visual ones like Photoshop+RAW images or video editing.

Nothing comes to mind for [10.8, 10.9] which might say a bit to your point. However, Messages has been in since 10.8 and items are still out of order? They need to iron out just like they did with 10.6, otherwise the bugs and deep issues will compound year after year.
