I think the difference is that hardware and software people usually know when the other side is using a technical term, even if they don't know the full definition of it. They know when they don't know. Whereas with the humanities, they're using words that are regular words, and non-humanities people don't recognize them as being technical terms.

Consumption was actually tuberculosis.

"Tuberculosis, MTB, or TB (short for tubercle bacillus), in the past also called phthisis, phthisis pulmonalis, or consumption, is a widespread, and in many cases fatal, infectious disease caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis.[1]"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberculosis
Nice selective quoting, how about the whole thing?

"But of those unhappy ones who were ensnared by Melkor little is known of a certainty. For who of the living has descended into the pits of Utumno, or has explored the darkness of the counsels of Melkor? Yet this is held true by the wise of Eressëa, that all those of the Quendi who came into the hands of Melkor, ere Utumno was broken, were put there in prison, and by slow arts of cruelty were corrupted and enslaved; and thus did Melkor breed the hideous race of the Orcs in envy and mockery of the Elves, of whom they were afterwards the bitterest foes."

The word 'breed' does not only mean to cause an animal to produce offspring and considering Tolkien's knowledge and use of the English language I doubt he solely meant it in that sense. Especially if you consider the sentence preceeding your selection. "Slow arts of cruelty" would seem to encompass a vast range of influences and considering the larger background of war, industry, and nationalism that these novels were written against I would say that indoctrination and compulsion would be the stronger influences on the Orc's character. Reading some of the Orc dialogue in the books supports this as they are not presented as mentally incompetent but moreso as possessing a ruthless, limited, subjugated, and intolerant worldview. Hence the corruption and enslavement.

Neal Ford of Thoughtworks gave a presentation at Windy City Rails that I really liked. While the name of the presentation does not contain architecture, one of the opening lines of the presentation is "Who needs an architect". I would highly recommend watching the video, I found it very informative, and I think it would go a long way to help you figure out what a software architect's role is;

Then the only point you care to make is orthogonal to Gruber's question. He's asking, where are the apps that:

* Are standouts,

* Are exclusive to the Android platform,

You're entitled to say "that's a dumb question", but you can't claim to answer the question by rejecting it.
I spent some time adding Python/WSGI support to CloudFoundry over the weekend...in general, this project is extremely well designed and SOLID. Almost all of the headaches involved with, for example, adding Django support, stem from Django's conventions and requirements (something I'm not a stranger to).

I'm really looking forward to the future of CloudFoundry.
> But who cares? The browser isn't validating HTML as it's rendering it, otherwise the internet would be one big blank page.

But that's the big difference isn't it? Browsers fix html as they go, but they blow up on XML (as mandated by the XML spec).

What would be weirder, seeing the page either render fully or blow up, or seeing a page start rendering and then at some point be replaced by an error message?

Of course ideally it would start rendering and keep rendering, never blowing up, but that's not really allowed in XML.

If it only were that simple.

Imagine you're maintaining some program that intensively uses OpenSSL. It's 2014-ish, and some LibreSSL people come to you and tell you that you're using deprecated API and you need to upgrade for compatibility with LibreSSL. Sure, it's an improvement and maintains compatibility with OpenSSL, so why not.

Then OpenSSL 1.1 comes with some more API changes. You end up adding #if conditions to support both OpenSSL versions. And the next thing you realize, you've just broken LibreSSL because it pretends to be OpenSSL 2.0.0.

And when you patch it, you realize you're adding another ticking time bomb because LibreSSL will probably support the new API at some point too and you will have to add yet another version check to the code.

I am not surprised that somewhere in middle of that process upstreams stop taking LibreSSL seriously.

The problem I'm facing is that my friend is a streamer, and she can only reliably stream with a wired connection. When trying to use Wifi, she has frequent breakups of her stream. Using https://packetlosstest.com/, we see that frequently many packets are delayed several hundred MS.

The only thing which has seemed to help is reducing the 5Ghz channel width and forcing the AP to use one of the lesser occupied 5Ghz channels. This is what has made me think that interference is the problem. A channel scan shows well over 100 APs..

EDIT: Are there AP features or tuning which will influence how well, and/or how quick it can react to interference?

I've been hoping that the 6GHz band will improve things for her when 6Ghz APs become available. I was going to build her an AP using an Intel AX210, however I realized that the AX210 does not support AP mode so that plan won't work.

Online advertisement are constantly using the same exploits that malware and can be seen as part of the progression ladder when walking from being zero-day to universally patched.

A while back ago malware started to use a scheme similar to fast flux, but rather than changing the IP address they used a chain of cnames to hide the malware network. In order to combat this researchers developed detection tools to find algorithmic generated domain names and flag them as suspicious at the resolver layer. I would expect to see the same mitigation method to travel into ad-blocking.

>The Legislature should do a far better job making their intent clear.

That would require a wholesale redesign of creator's monopolies in software; CONTU basically said "oh yeah, judges can just use fair use to wriggle out of any market harms software copyright might cause" and Congress went with that.

Furthermore, Congress's actions over the past few decades have generally not squared with any sort of actual copyright reform. The last major actions I can think of were:

- Implementing the EU's reciprocal copyright extension so that Mickey Mouse could get more copyright protection in France (Sonny Bonno CTEA)

- Implementing an overbroad and policy-laundered set of protections for DRM that companies took to mean "all you have to do is put software in a thing and you can sue anyone for making parts for it" (DMCA 1201)

- Extending criminal copyright liability to filesharers (NET Act)

- Granting more copyright term extensions to old music recordings that weren't federally copyrighted until the 70s (CLASSICS Act/MMA)

The last thing I would ever want is to hear Congress's intent on any of these, as I would imagine it would sound something like "Fuck you, pay me". Australia, the EU, and the UK get a lot more shit these days for overbroad copyright laws, but this is mainly because doing so lets them rein in foreign tech companies. The US doesn't do that anymore because tech companies gained enough clout here to stop even more misguided copyright nonsense like SOPA/PIPA. However, with tech companies falling out of favor I wouldn't be surprised if Congress decides to start busting kneecaps again.
>(1) Given the nature of the pornography industry, most sites are owned by a small number of players, so it's definitely not clear that Pornhub isn't in control of them.

It also doesn't mean they are in control of them. I think it's reasonable to assume that PornHub doesn't own every site the video was uploaded on.

>Pornhub offers a service which is exactly what she is demanding

This is almost certainly on the basis of copyright. As in, those 'exclusive models' sign over the copyright to their content to PornHub, or authorize PornHub to act on their behalf as copyright holders. PornHub then issus DMCA takedown notices or uses some other 'takedown notice'.

In order for this to work, she would have to be the copyright owner of the video. If anything, in a horribly ironic twist, her ex-husband is likely the copyright holder. She has no standing (speaking in terms of copyright) to get PH to protect her video like they do with the exclusive model program.

If you know more about how it works, then please inform me, but I can only assume it's copyright.

This blog post needs to show how an anti-virus would protect against any of the threats it's talked about. The one that an anti-virus might catch is this:

> Many proprietary applications can only be successfully installed under sudo or the root account which is a nice and easy way to compromise a computer.

This isn't even worded very well for the common threat vector in this cases which is `curl | sudo bash`.

The truth is that the threat actors targeting Linux almost always do so by "living off the land". A lot of those files are benign or customized to the system leaving the common hash identification method of identifing known malicious binaries as a non-starter. Checking compiled libraries and binaries for sub-classes of behavior also doesn't get very far due to the wide variance of versions across different distributions and customizations done by different administrators.

There are a lot of ways to detect or preventing those changes to the system that are actively deployed (none of which are an anti-virus).

There is a chance that true behavior based analysis can provide hints towards compromise and all the BPF tooling around that makes it a potentially promising lead, but no anti-virus I'm aware of is doing that while other auditing tools are.

There are also a lot of risks with an anti-virus itself. To be useful it needs to be deep in the kernel, above root permissions watching everything. Usually these are proprietary and all the major anti-virus names have had security issues in the past. Un-audited proprietary code running inside the Linux kernel is always a sketchy proposition.

Which leads us back to the common conclusion that no, Linux does not need an anti-virus. They don't solve any of the security problems mentioned and will consume a large amount of system resources to accomplish nothing.
> I believe there is a middle ground: focusing on mechanism, but providing a sane default policy that lets the user get stuff done fast and change things later if they need to.

I agree with this.

I see parallels to a lot of frameworks, languages, libraries, etc: the "getting started" guide is fairly simple, but then to do a "real" thing with it, you need to basically throw all that away and learn a whole different system.

The other mistake a lot of systems make is abstracting away the complexity with defaults (aka "magic"), but making it so if you do want to change one thing you have to learn and re-implement the entire configuration yourself.

In both cases, it's the learning curve that is important to think about: going from usable defaults (beginner) to customization (expert) should not be one giant all-or-nothing step.
Yes that's the entire point. Competition is good.
given that it lasted 100 years, how much more data does one need in order to be convinced? That is as comprehensive of a data set as one can be expected to find when it comes to market analysis. All the evidence such as economic data, corporate profits, demographics, etc. suggests no reason for America's dominance to lessen. America's superior economic and stock market performance can probably be attributed to an economic climate exceptionally conducive to capitalism, combined with geopolitical stability, good demographics, and the private sector having a lot of autonomy from the public one.

I agree except for one thing: I am morally judging the situation. Just because market forces have given you the power to ruin the lives of people who trusted you, doesn't make it morally okay to do so.
It get's even more interesting... The (these days) extremely rare germanium semiconductors sound better than modern silicon semiconducters....so the guys building fuzz and other similar effects are using the dwindling supply of NOS germanium transistors and diodes. Germanium conducts at a lower voltage, sometimes as low as 0.15V vs 0.6-0.7V for silicon.

"Either way you still have to work harder"

Since the production of meat uses up more resources (energy) than plant based food, I think your claim does not hold up.

It is easier to produce plant based food, so why should it be harder to buy plant based food?

I also doubt that you automatically eat healthy by simply adding meat to your diet.

That's something I like to use for structured types, especially when the name is long and I can't be bothered writing "struct something" again, but I don't do it for char or other simple types.

Of course, it doesn't work when you're doing things like OOP in C, where the type on the left is a "superclass", or using flexible array members and allocating more than just a header's worth.

> and the Kalimba DSP coprocessor was even 24-bit char, short and ints

Yes, but sizeof char would still be 1, unless I'm mistaken.

I think I might have made a major pedagogical mistake when I declared char == 1 byte. What I meant was that when you're working in C, a char is the smallest addressable unit. Now, that smallest addressable unit is conventionally known as a byte, but it might not be 8-bits wide. These days it is almost always is thankfully.

Thank you for clarifying that, because I don't think my original comment was clear enough. I've been meaning for a while to write a blog post on the origins of 8-bit bytes as well as other conventions in CS.

> I think it's the same direction,

Yeah, it depends on how you look at it. I was thinking about this:

> I've had prosecutors and police know that our rights were violated as part of a citation. They did not care.

In my case it's, "I had a cop decide not to cite me for violations of the law that I actually committed, only to turn around and railroad me for a less serious violation that he could not possibly have known whether I actually committed or not."

My point was just that net-net the system worked to my benefit despite the fact that my ostensible rights were violated.

It doesn't mean there isn't something to investigate. Or that the public knows everything the police do.
