Good question -- this is definitely an issue we need to wrestle with.

For now, the vast bulk of the documents going up are business papers involving Yanukovich's companies and the management of his estates. I think those are fair game. But we'll get into murkier areas as time goes on.

For now, if you see something that you think shouldn't be public, drop an email to yanukovychleaks@gmail.com and we'll look into it.

The problem is that "needs more space later" can occur as soon as the malware moves on to the next file to encrypt.

Also, overwriting discarded files can happen even before the filesystem runs out of space; it depends on the allocation strategy. To maximally preserve the possibility of undeleting files, there would have to be a policy of using the least recently freed blocks for new allocation. That could be pessimistic in other regards, like minimizing fragmentation and seek time.
If the lengths are wrong. You said that the function shouldn't assume that strings are null-terminated correctly -- why should it assume that the lengths are correct?

I’m looking for a junior-level position as a frontend/fullstack developer. I’ve been working as a frontend developer with React/Typescript for almost 6 months. I’m currently trying in my free time to play with React Native ( with Reanimated 2) and Elixir.
Yes it's pretty mundane and that's why testers are for. I really don't think developers should spend much time on testing.
To be clear, I'm pointing out only the sloppy "journalism".

The Kinect was slapped on there as a cheap new sensor for already existing SLAM* software. I'm sure the student would not claim novelty for that, and will be facepalming if he reads the linked article. This may be the first working Kinect-based SLAM system (outside Microsoft), a few hours before the next fifty instances. The gesture interpretation shown in the last few seconds is the novel contribution here.

iRobot Creates are used for SLAM every day in tens, maybe hundreds of labs around the world.

It's a shame that this AI-themed blog couldn't be a bit more careful about simple facts.

The guy that replaces him is instantly more knowledgeable about that subject because they where now deciding most of the edge cases.
really? I might have watched too many Hollywood movies, but I have a feeling that many of the oil people are actually more hacker types than those coding drones at your Microsofts and Oracles...

that's not to say that it's essential to their business, but there's a lot of low level creativity in many industries, not just IT.

I have no idea what you're talking about ;)
> The idea of having tools to parse and rewrite my code to be as generic as possible came to me years ago.

You basically want an obfuscator that replaces all the names of things with generics, and then randomly permutes blocks of code without changing the code paths possible in the final binary. (Perhaps some optimized-for-performance version of this, but that might identify the tool you use.)

It sounds relatively easy to write if you stick to certain coding guidelines (like using techniques amenable to static analysis).

However, this still won't work in some cases, because you'd need more advanced tools to handle profiling of what sized functions and such you ended up writing.

It would be interesting to try and write a tool which defeated any analysis of author patterns in the code, but would require understanding the program across the boundary of function calls, which is a difficult problem. (You probably couldn't write Turing complete code, for example.)
They are set in their ways. To turn them onto the One True Path of Least Resistance we'll probably need a feet on the ground intervention, in the interests of unbound spirits and fleshy bodies.
Sure, but absolutes are rarely used in their literal meaning.

"Silence" doesn't refer to the absence of any noise, it refers to a very low level of noise. The absence of any noise at all is very difficult to achieve (although you can come close: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXVGIb3bzHI). The same goes for other absolutes like "black" (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vantablack is arguably "blacker" than other "black" materials).

You're technically correct (the best kind of correct), but your point is moot. Very few words that describe absolutes can be used "correctly" in practice. The logical conclusion is that these words (despite their dictionary definition) don't refer to actual absolutes but rather extremes: silence is not the absence of noise, it's just the presence of a significantly smaller amount of noise.

Heck, even words like "pregnant" aren't absolute in practice. With "pregnant" the implication commonly is "will give birth" (which is why we have euphemisms like "expecting"), so someone who is nearly due can be said to be "more pregnant" simply because they are closer to giving birth (and therefore also have a higher chance of delivering successfully) whereas someone within their first months of pregnancy may often not even want to disclose their state because so many things can still go wrong.

In practice "silent" or "black" is no more absolute than "cold" -- and it would be silly to expect people to refer to zero kelvin when they say "cold", don't you think?

Disclosure: I spent way too much time around linguists as a student.
My original argument was that the ROI is debatable in terms of how much we spend on space these days. Is it worth billions of dollars for the things we have talked about? Probably not in the grand scheme of things (Im not knocking space, or research just the fact that people bitch about how little we spend when it sort of makes sense to me).
That still doesn't give you native scrolling.
Skimming the ruling, this is pretty much exactly the line of reasoning I'd hoped a court would use in considering these issues. Yes, it turns out, a phone is not just like a pair of pants. Who knew?
I'm not sure I see the incentive in me doing that...?

Unless, of course, I hate dealing with them. In which case I'm not going to get hired through them in the first place.

Why would I do that?
I looked at the first math question:

http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/piaac/figures/sample_num1.asp

First off, the statement describing the graph ("The following graph shows the number of births in the United States 1957 to 2007. Data is presented every 10 years.") is a bit odd. The graph shows the number of births per year for 6 of the 51 years from 1957 to 2007, at 10 year intervals. That's not really "the number of births in the United States 1957 to 2007." But let's say that's fine. Then they ask, "During which period(s) was there a decline in the number of births?" There is no such thing as "a decline in the number of births." The number of births always increases. There can be a decline in the rate of births per time, e.g., the number of births per year. But giving the number of births per year every ten years is not enough information to make a complete statement about births per time during the ten year periods. There may have been (and probably were) declines during each of those periods. In other words, it is impossible to "click all that apply."
I saw that book but was confused on the way to use it. Are you supposed to follow along and turn the pseudo code into a real implementation? Or is meant to be Passively read while perhaps taking notes?
Thanks.

Wrt MDN, it may have been a misunderstanding. One para says it's preferable to use VP9 over VP8, the next is:

> "3] Firefox only supports VP8 in MSE when no H.264 hardware decoder is available." //

Which I took to mean, if there is a hardware decoder then it would support the better scheme, VP9. But I realise it's ambiguous. It also notes WebRTC requires support of VP8, so the interpretation

It would be weird of availability of a hardware decoder meant that support for VPx was then completely lacking, when it could be provided when there was no such decoder. But clearly I only skimmed the sources, so if you're asserting that's true...?
>Instead, I can't find anything about the latest years of their research.

So, in other words, there is no evidence that GoF research is "here to protect us"?
C++. Build my own 3D engine and game. Even more fun if I code it on a pentium 1 with windows 95.
Build a raytracer from scratch. It's a couple hundred lines of very straightforward C code, or much, much less with a higher level language. You will learn _a ton_ about the rendering pipeline, transformations, lighting, shading surfaces, etc. It is super satisfying the very first time you run and finally get some colorful shaded spheres floating in space--you'll remember that moment for a long time. This is just one of many resources to help get started with a raytracer: https://www.realtimerendering.com/raytracing/Ray%20Tracing%2...
Problem is many have experienced even worse schools (and there are many) so they're comparatively happy with this. It won't happen. I've also experienced a non-profit teacher co-operative. It was leaps and bounds better than this.
The fact that ECC doesn't provide an encryption function is actually a feature, in my opinion:

It's impossible to accidentally encrypt a message with the asymmetric cryptographic primitive in the ECC case, but not in the RSA case. This makes ECC misuse-resistant in a way that RSA isn't.

(Although, strictly speaking, you can "encrypt directly" with elliptic curve schemes if you use ElGamal--which might even be desirable in weird systems. Fortunately, most high-level cryptography libraries that offer ECC don't expose the APIs to facilitate this.)
It does. JavaFX + Graal Native is even used to make native mobiles AFAIK.

I didn't think they were, but now it makes sense why Jeff Bezanson's voice is so soothing.
Better yet -- CouchDB and PouchDB. You can use PouchDB for the browser side, CouchDB for the server, and Couchbase Mobile for the eventual mobile apps. Pros: offline and online; natural fit for document management; git-like revision and conflict management; simple to set up replication for backup. Cons: it's fallen out of favor; nobody seems to like writing the mapreduce code for searching and views.
There are plenty of tools (including editor support, debuggers, testing frameworks, call tree tracers) around stored procedures but I cannot vouch for their quality since I do not use them myself. I mostly do my coding by heart and my testing in the applications I write.
I'm reminded of the Lirevite project that did this back in the day, but I can't find any mention of it, anymore, aside from this 2006 post: http://craphound.com/?p=1726
I used IntelliJ for a couple of years and it was quite painful compared to the lispm. The only advantage is that the machines are faster.
Isn't that part of the cost with all the schemes?
Impact on customers is the thing I love as well. I just can't imagine doing a job without it.
That's not advertising.
I’m sure they are differences, but I doubt any high-paying big tech job is going to be low-stress. I don’t mean necessarily working long hours, but you get the kind of work where you need to be figuring out ambiguous problems, always convincing other stakeholders, dealing with some level of drama, etc. Things that require expending a lot of energy.

It’s unlikely you’d be just converting Jira tasks to code at these levels. (That would be my definition of a low-stress job).
Intrigued by hearing that “many of us saw this coming”. Is there a frontier of folks in opposition to censorship of targeted platforms?
Users having unpatched software is no risk to GitHub. It's risk to those users.
I’ve been looking for a recommender system, how does this compare to something like Apache’s PredictionIO?
That is the adaptation. When it's too cold, your body turns up its heat production and it kind of feels like a fever at first.

This x 100000

This is why I hate package managers in a nutshell. The reason is that it reduces the friction for developers of packages to issue updates to a critical level where they turn round and blame package consumers for not using the latest versions while the consumers spend their lives battling with the ever changing bugs and APIs of the packages.

This isn't just an open source problem, as I first ran into it in a company that made many of the mistakes a decade ago that the open source community is just making today. Lots of really nice sounding ideas that increase the productivity of a few individuals working on inner level packages at the expense of the whole organisation.
I thought we obeyed the laws of thermodynamics here?
In a way yes. It's been for more than a few years though. Many mainstream TV series or movies portray hackers as shady, know-it-all characters that have dark motives. This is just a larger scale depiction of the same stereotype, which is not unjustifiable after the recent attacks. Hacking the PS network and XBOX live, Sony about a movie and celebrities for their naked photos is reasonable to create negative public response. Anonymous were not perceived as a threat by the public because they would never try such cheap publicity attracting stunts.
I remember living in an affluent suburb (in the top 20 income wise in the country) when I first graduated. There were section 8 folks peppered throughout the condos we lived in. We got to know a number of them personally. To get all of the benefits, they were required to follow a low probability of success lifestyle, such as refusing to work and having children out of wedlock.

We knew one young woman who had an affair with an older man, got pregnant, then moved out of moms house into a hotel. She then called up the gov't and went right to the top of their list (pregnant single woman with no means of support and no skills, and in temporary housing). The next week, she was living in a nicer condo than I could afford. She had free housing, food, medical, and legal.

We visited the old neighborhood a few years after we left and there were open air drug markets.

I think a negative income tax would be a much better approach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtpgkX588nM
For my immediate team I required that a FOSS project be:

1) alive and well - judging by the number and recency of contributions;
2) modular - monolithic binaries are a no-no but libraries are generally fine;
3) use one of the few languages well supported by the existing build system;

Once we started using those guidelines most FOSS projects we considered were dead in the water. (so were most commercial products BTW).

The only thing is that even though my immediate team saw the benefit of this approach once I started talking about it in a wider circle my approach was considered an extreme case of NIH.
It is the Chaos Communication Congress done BY the Chaos Computer Club.
"It's not really an issue that warrants a lot of study."

And why do you think that? Is it because we already have a lot of research already on this topic, or do you think good data from research is unnecessary?
I believe it's titled The Intel 80386 Programmer's Reference Manual.
On a good day there are only a few thousand (< 10K) nodes in the tor network as far as I can see so why would you need a few hundred thousand nodes?
Most theories today posit that dopamine encodes the positive predictive error between a true reward and an expected reward. So if the reward is much more than you expect lots of dopamine will be released, but if it is exactly what you expected then none will be released. Dopamine enhances the experience of the reward by lowering the rate of firing required in the reward area to experience the same reward in the absence of dopamine. Thus, lesser rewards feel better when there is differential expectation. So dopamine enhances the feeling that's already there.

Is it at all possible that there were other confounding factors?

I ask this because I've struggled with depression my entire life. I took fluoxetine (prozac) in 2012 and had similar experience that you describe.

I stopped taking it because I really hated the idea of being a med all my life. After about a year, the depression was back. I never returned to prozac, but I've wondered year after year if I should. Nearly a decade later, I still don't know.

Why? I still have my doubts though whether or not the medication was doing anything. I had also coincidentally had a ton of success in life around that time. I had learned some new exciting skills, landed a sweet job in my dream city, and was socializing a ton and meeting people.

I reflect on that time (roughly 1.5 years worth) and to this day I can't really decide whether that joy was from the meds, or from learning something I was finally good at, landing a great job, feeling confidence from that and meeting people, etc.

The return of the depression did seem to correlate exactly with discontinuing the meds, but, it could also have been that the excitement of the year's events was beginning to wear off too.
I think you can get one with acceptable quality for $100. Your threshold of acceptability may be different!
He's correct that SRP is really the relevant standard for the full authentication system here, as well.

see, this is one of the places where I get confused. i don't read this proposal as being an authentication system. i read it as being an attempt to aid users in creating strong passwords that are not shared across sites. the proposed implementation certainly isn't perfect (i much prefer the implementation provided by https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3282/ , but that also has problems ), but it seems to me that many of the critiques presented so far are trying to measure this proposal against the wrong metrics.
Am I reading it right? R generated that?
The problem is that it mixes in content sites with tech apps. I'd be quite interested in buying small but interesting apps, but as the moment I have to wade through a tonne of content sites so it's not worth my while.
Can we please refrain from using reddit-like headlines?
Not really. The real reason is 2 letters long: QQ

EDIT: To explain and not be snarky, QQ is an IM/portal/social network/web mail/social game platform that is actually larger than Facebook. (Over 600 million active last I checked.) They completely dominate every aspect of Chinese web software.
Your situation seems like a rather specialized case where gossip is worth something more than gossip.
The lack of China on the map was interesting to me as well. I believe that Facebook being blocked in China has quite a bit to do with it.
You hit it exactly on the head - background updating. We can only assume that Google want to start it's life with a consistant feature set. Your 3G is a casualty of that.

Not if the evidence for such things isn't admissible. (like certain types of recordings)
Well, if you get the build process right. It takes some time for the setup, but I was able to Google it and get it right.

This isn't true. §1983 gives you civil remedies for violation of your rights, including attorney's fees and punitive damages.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I believe you could also seek an injunction to force the government to stop.
Taxes in the US are at the lowest levels since 1941 [1]. OP I replied to commented that the State was taking from them. Of course the State takes. It provides the framework you operate in that allows you to make that income. If anything, taxes should be much higher for a number we should agree on (whether that's $500K/year, $1MM/year, or $10MM/year is TBD).

What group is the State taking "more than it should" from?

A quick comment on why I submitted this ...

This will substantially change the way I interact with Facebook Messenger, and irritatingly so. For the past as long as I remember, all of my IM services have shown up in one client (naim; then Pidgin; then Adium). I'll now be forced to either use the Facebook web client (and, in doing so, feed the mis-tuned reward system in my brain that stimulates itself from seeing the notifications icon light up ...) or use a poor approximation of a keyboard on my cell phone.

It's irritating when a service that I use gets shut down. But, the thing that's truly irritating to me is that I don't even have the option of not using it: I'm locked in still by network effects, and Facebook know it.
