I've seen it. I use to develop php full time between 6-9 or 10 years ago. I developed C full time 12-14 years ago. I'm not trying to say php is a great language here and I avoid it completely these days. I'm saying php the language has nothing to do with this type of security issue and the language itself isn't going to be more insecure than any alternative. The same developer building wordpress in C is still going to allow for uploading any file in an executable way since they want to enable people to upload plugins from the interface.
SMS? Or SMS, iChat, Hangouts, Whatsapp, and the thousands of others that use your SMS number as username? Some (iChat, Hangouts) even steal your SMSs and place them on proprietary networks; If you switch devices from iPhone to Android or vice-versa, messages get lost.
Shouldn't it be "Dr. Bootload" anyway?
yep, I already addressed this in another comment, that's photorealism, and the artist always takes the picture so painting it is just the last step in the overall creative process.

my point was that it feels weird for me to call it art if you didn't take the photo and your just doing the last, arguably less creative, step.

Not that it doesn't take a great deal of effort and skill to achieve it, it just feels somehow "lesser".
You can see a general non-acceptance of smoking in public. There has been a consistent decrease in the number of smokers, in absolute terms over time.
But how are they able to get anything done when they're spending all their time telling everyone how smart they are? ;-)

A relative knew one of the Amish ministers.
My anecdotal experience is the exact opposite of yours.

As a teen, I worked shipping and receiving at a Macy's in the mid-to-late nineties, and frequently hung out in the security camera room. I watched them follow thieves on the cameras while we waited for them fill their bags with a felony-level amount of merchandise before giving chase - chases I was at times enlisted to participate in.

Not a single thief was "seemingly wealthy," and we never, ever, let anyone walk out with merchandise. If anything, the opportunity to catch a rich person in the act would've been immediately seized, if only for the novelty.
Sure. But the use of "apologist" in a Christian context is, today in 2015, much more niche than, say, calling the news organ of a particular political stripe "liberal apologia"; it would be rare to see the New York Times use that phrase except in irony but much more common for conservative sources to do so, because it's commonly understood to be more negative than neutral.

It's much the same as getting mad when somebody uses "hacker" to mean something other than "train and/or computer nerd". You don't get to lay a prescriptive claim to truth.
Bottom middle chart is labeled with the percentage for Google Analytics from the chart above it, not the percentage displayed in actual chart.
Yes.

Library calls will have conditionals, but apart from that there are none.
Maybe concede the term OOP to Java, C++, et. al. and call message passing among processes service-oriented programming or something.
targets different group of investors (who like the fixed income component) and is quicker to issue and less costly in terms of coupon rate and transaction costs.
Tesla's high stock price 'begs' a convertible offering which lets the Company offer equity by the 'back door' without impacting the stock negatively.
Very good point, transparency can be beneficial. Countries and their politicians are constantly making promises and commitments which they fail to live up to.
>the code doesn't specify it as an ad

For me at least, the video was inside "player_advertising_unit_365"...
From that Lazard report, PV with four hours storage costs 10 to 13 cents/kWh. That's "in front of the meter" which is the wholesale cost. For retail cost, commercial/industrial pays 22 to 38 cents/kWh, and residential pays 45 to 66 cents/kWh.

That's with only four hours storage. That's a convenient amount since it's the excess typically generated by solar installations during the day, but to actually get through a windless night we might need more storage. Lazard's retail cost for storage alone is 48 to 104 cents/kWh. Plus you'll need extra solar dedicated to charging it.

At this point people often bring up long-distance transmission. The report happens to include that too, with a cost starting at $2.35/kWh wholesale and going way up from there.

None of this includes the overcapacity we'd need, to get through cloudy winter weeks.

Lazard puts nuclear's cost at 12 to 19 cents/kWh but it's unclear whether that's retail cost; I suspect so since I only pay 12 cents/kWh on a grid that's heavy on nuclear.

Wind/solar is very cheap when the grid is still mostly fossil, but to run a reliable carbon-free grid in areas without abundant hydro, nuclear is still cheaper. The cheapest combination is probably nuclear to the level of minimum nighttime load, and renewables for everything beyond that, without just enough storage to even out remaining discrepancies with demand.
What's most likely is a clogged vent pipe, animals get stuck or make nests in there and it effectively defeats the traps.
What's always bothered me about this argument is: how much of that cost stems from the nuclear industry being misregulated into a pulp over the last 50 years??

Regulatory decisions seem to be made on the basis of hysteria moreso than scientific merit. For instance, that in the US secondary waste is treated equally as dangerous as primary waste, leading to ludicrous disposal costs. And nuclear 'waste' isn't even an issue with many modern reactor designs.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that the _current_ cost of bringing a new nuclear plant online is astronomical, but that doesn't mean that the cost can't be brought down tremendously with sane regulation and modern designs. In many ways, the nuclear industry is still in its infancy (how many of the reactors operating worldwide right now are boiling water reactors, literally the oldest and most dangerous design??). No one expects nascent technologies to be cheap, you look to the future.

And beyond that, nuclear and solar/wind are not directly comparable. Solar/wind cannot provide the base load that nuclear is so apt at. What you really need to be comparing is a nuclear plant vs renewable PLUS energy storage. And last time I checked, grid-level energy storage is still extremely expensive.

I don't think you can dismiss nuclear so easily. Not by a longshot.

It still blows my mind that we found an almost magical solution to use of fossil fuels over 60 years ago and fumbled it so hard. Shame on big oil, shame on our regulatory agencies and politicians.
Update: A downvoted post asked how to find that protocol or framework. I’d advise looking at MAPS’ site at http://maps.org/ - there are manuals and protocols there - as well as tracking back to the source studies that the FDA is basing its decisions on and searching on Google Scholar for papers.
If you enjoy the place and time of writing like this, and the funny turns of phrases and witty voices of young people, now's a good time to read a story or two by Horatio Alger. They've always been one of my favorite peeks into early 1900's New York through the eyes of small children.

As a bonus, they also give a lot of insight into the origin a common American trope: 'pulling yourself up your bootstraps' and 'fame and fortune can be yours, no matter how low of a post you begin from, with a good work ethic and strong morals.' I won't get on my soapbox about all that right now. Just keep the preaching in context.

But how did things like NSURL defaultCache and other base-components get broken in iOS8? There seemed to be work on the fundamentals that broke them right? It's not just that the new flashy stuff stuttered or crashed...
Dunno, OS X is always FreeBSD for me.
I've actually been doing that on and off since I think around last August. I've found it tremendously beneficial to overall feeling of well being, as well as my work ethic. Especially for programming, I feel much more involved and interested in my work so am usually able to work at a much faster pace. I also share the feeling of being more personable on LSD, as the days when I do microdose, I tend to have far better and deeper conversations with many of my friends.
Reliability is not the only measure of quality.
I, for example, like Compaq and HP laptops, even though they are not most reliable.
You are right, it was Martin Mystere...as soon as I read the name I knew that was the one. Thanks.
what part of this statement should I clarify for you to understand

"DDOS protection services" are not a "basic" service, so why would you include them in this list?

I'm taking about regulating the tech industry

...by extending 1A rights. So what would meet your legal standard of "tech," since now we've suddenly shifted to only regulating those? Banks are not "tech" companies.

Are you dodging the NFL example so hard because the NFL would be excluded from your legislation? They have $91B market cap and actively develop new tech.

'Veblen goods' are items that are desirable partly because poor people can't afford them. They're a way for better-off people to signal to each other. Of course, e-ink devices are not so fancy that only well-off people can carry them. But if you see someone with an e-ink device and they also have nice shoes, clothes, and accessories, it's reasonable to assume somewhat high social status.
Several issues with this A) who are the regulators? Typically these are elected officials that at least half of the population typically doesn't see eye to eye with, think left vs right. So why do they get to decide what is "in the interest of the public"? B) what makes undisclosed product placement so inherently evil or at least more evil than normal advertisement? There are extremely deceptive advertising techniques, just because you are aware something is an ad doesn't mean you can be fully aware of the manipulation tactics used against you, many can be very subtle. So to paint the whole thing with such broad brush and assume one just needs a binary answer to know if something is an ad or not assumes all ads are created with the same level of deceptiveness. C) finally people with "power and money" will find a way to communicate their message regardless, you can make it more difficult or expensive for them to do so, but at the end of the day that cost has to be imposed on someone and that is typically the consumer.

I also find Tom Scott's videos highly well presented and produced but they lack the same level of quality when it comes to the concepts discussed in them.
I've seen a few videos of it. It really is just a half step up from active lane keeping. It will proactively keep you centered and manage your speed with no interaction, whereas normal lane keeping only kicks in if you are about to drift out of the lane.
No. I’m saying that it’s no different to the wet market. We should try to limit places where viruses can jump to humans. Wet markets are terrible, poorly run virus labs are terrible.

The problem with the lab narrative is it’s being used to cast China as a kind of evil actor here. Where as I think irresponsible is there actually closer to the truth.
One of the advantages of non-single family zoning is exactly that it allows us to decouple the two.
Without living in SF and having done no research on this whatsoever I can promise you that you could easily put together a list of restaurants in walking distance to wherever you live that do not include "17 dollar salads" and would allow you to "eat in good cafes".

There are still places in Manhattan, Chicago, Atlanta, etc where you can do it, SF is no different.

Now, if you want to judge a city only on it's higher priced places or whatever, that's on you. Food culture is a whole other thing, and how people want to play into it is their choice. That said, if you're trying to find steak dinners for 30 dollars(all in: tax, tip, and drink) in a major US city, I don't know how to help you.

TL;dr- "17 dollar salads" aren't a problem unless you're trying to write a disparaging blog about a city you moved away from.
That's hindsight though. I assume if you'd solicited investment advice from 1,000 home movers in 2017, most probably wouldn't have said Bitcoin.
Yes, the essay is a terrible format for capturing life moments. Poems are a forgotten tool from our past that I think work way better . The sentence-paragraph structure is a slave to the period. It leaves no space for attention. Very information heavy. Poems, on the other hand, are like long tracking shots. They are naturally infinite. You can create a moment and stay with it. Note taking, list making, messaging are effective for similar reasons.
As I said, most of my Python involves localized Django. So gettext is used everywhere and (apart from the REPL) it's the other uses of `_` that are the odd ones out.
And my grandfather believed that an invisible man was watching our every move. But despite my grandfather, I don't believe such invisible man exists. People tend to easily believe in stories that are told over and over, but some people prefer the stories that sit on some kind of solid proof. Is there any kind of solid proof an so-called genocide, other than sad stories heard from relatives? Look for hodjali massacre: Armenian love bugs massacred the azerbaijanis. You can easily find solid proofs on hodjali massacre. But is there anything on so-called armenian genocide other than heart breaking stories?

Long story short: armenians tried to take advantage of the world war and conquer the eastern anatolia by assaulting on kurdish and turkish villages. Von schellendorf ordered deportation of armenians. Kurds tried to take revenge of the assaults. Please do find solid proofs for your story, other than "my grandfather was this and that".
David, I meant independent as in non-inhouse companies, which you do mention (design studies/consultancies). There will be less people who do production work, similar to how there are very few people tilling fields at the moment.
> Or the infamous "backbreak", where you do two-finger swipes to go back in a browser window and somehow it fails mid-way, leaving an unusable browser page and breaking all two-finger gestures until you close that window (not tab, the whole window).

This bug is driving me crazy on 10.9.5, along with a couple of other issues. Sadly not limited to Yosemite. (I think Mavericks is worse than its reputation, I really miss 10.6 and 10.8.)
> Some parts of the UK I imagine you could use 5k for a house down-payment and rent it out. I have been expat for 4 years so I have no idea.

Maybe in Merthyr, but even 4 years ago you'd have been lucky to find a house under £100K without anything unrentably wrong with it.
I mocked up a website for someone once and they asked me to translate some lorem ipsum into English (I think they thought it was French).
I think the article is incorrect in saying ". A shirt like this [...] would be a fine weave"

If it really took a quarter of a year to make a fine-woven shirt, poor people wouldn't have worn fine-woven clothing. It's too expensive, firstly to make, secondly because it doesn't last as long, and thirdly because it isn't warm enough in the cold months (for poor people that could easily be more than half the year. They wouldn't have glass in their window frames, and would have little in the form of heating)
The only time I've ever crashed on bicycle was the one time I wore a helmet. I have stopped wearing a helmet because of the same 'logic'. I use my bike to get to work.
I have a feeling many of these are from rubbish applications that have mostly been abandoned by their developers but still remain installed and running in the background for a lot of users.
That's not what I mean, and I don't think it's what the person I replied to meant either. I assume text/html is the default content type for all web frameworks.

I was referring to the fact that the first thing pretty much all PHP apps do is say "Wait! Don't output anything yet! I have code to run!". I believe modern PHP frameworks generally borrow the controller/template pattern from other languages, because it generally makes more sense than PHP's default of outputting HTML unless told otherwise.
Awesome article. We will be killing off our free plan soon. This helped a lot.

If it's a killer app, it will be regardless of its acceptance onto the iOS platform. The notion that Apple is hegemonic enough to restrict the level of innovation on mobile platforms is silly.
Looks like the LCPXpresso board costs around $30, the price of ten lattes.

PomoDB looks awfully a lot like PornoDB, depending on the font you're using. Or depending on your mindset.

There is no "the coronavirus." The article mentions at least nine or ten different ones. There are dozens of coronaviruses.
Ok, I though you were satirizing his content. I just want to confirm to other readers that the list of points you mentioned are verbatim from his web site.
Careful; DES3 is one shorthand for Triple DES, and DES crypt(3) (what they used) is the DES-based hash documented in section 3 of the Unix man pages. =)
That'll be the day when computers can automatically recognize an unauthorized translation of a copyrighted work. Seriously, all this online fingerprinting stuff is worse than the potential for watermark-detecting DRM chips embedded in camcorders and cell phones. At least if the chip is in my hand, I can (find someone to) hack it, or buy an older model. It's ridiculous to have YouTube delete the audio from a video because a major label song happens to be playing.
Dynamic pricing seems a useful tool then.
I think the motivation for in-house IT to succeed is greater than a 3rd party with their SLA. But, I am also coming from the viewpoint that geographically dispersed servers through multiple hosting companies reduces the 'single point of failure' scenario.
Doesn't the Army have the ability to make its own, more pertinent, more secure mobile device for the troops? I figure some of the strengths of Android iOS on the consumer side may wind up being weaknesses or just plan extraneous on the defense military side.. (security, why would you need to install "apps", etc).

Also, I thought those kinds of devices needed more verified software than is available on consumer-grade devices. I'm not sure about that one, though.

EDIT: Maybe it would make some sense if they forked Android and used it for their own in house purposes.

I wish I had $650k to forgive. I've forgiven debts for a total of about $3300, but there's still that guy who owes $10k and told me 3 years ago that he'd pay me once he gets his BMW repaired.
Sure. Am just underwhelmed by that retro fetishism in general, happy to not have to work with that anymore. Of course those things have been the wet dream of many geeks of that time, but to be honest they have been proprietary stuff with proprietary apps which enabled some nice things, but lacked things I'd consider important. Maybe one felt important working with them at the times, maybe they've been more interesting to look at designwise. I remember them as mostly loud. I've had a few of them, as I had Sparcs from Sun, and PA-Riscs from HP. And my fucking Athlon blew them all out of the water with 1.5GB Virtual Channel Memory, a Voodoo3 3000 AGP, and some highend Hitachi 21"CRT at 1600x1200@85Hz, running software I could actually use and shape(mostly) like I wanted to, without breaking. Oh, and mostly silent, with the exception of the HDDs :-)
I fancy Ubuntu's modified version of Gnome. Budgie looks pretty similar to that.
The cool thing about Basic (at least on DOS with QBasic) how many lino of code you have to write to draw a line on the screen. Just two lines, first set the screen to graphic mode and then just draw the line wit one command. Very easy and simple.

It’s not 100%. If >= 50% of the network is in agreement we can make more bitcoins, right? The limit is set in code. But that code can be altered.

> Zed's behavior towards newcomers to computer programming.

You mean his behavior of offering newcomers education resources to get their careers started that for many years he offered completely for free? I think it's pretty clear from the tweet that he wasn't attacking some newcomer but calling into question professional credentials.

Swift and Go don't have either. Neither does Kotlin. The difference is that Rust is an expression language (much like ML), and the semicolon determines whether the resulting expression is returned or thrown away. OCaml needs semicolons when you're doing imperative programming too.
This post should be mostly discounted because Ray doesn't really seem to be aware of the true risk of the Tether scam, the biggest component of and risk to Bitcoin's value.

For those not aware, Tether is a "stable coin" that issues tokens that supposedly represent dollars and can be used as a medium of exchange. However, it's widely suspected that Tether is unbacked and printing fake dollars and even Tether itself has admitted that at least 26% of their tokens have no backing [1]. Tether has never been audited so we have no clue how much of it is actually backed and how much of it is fake.

This is extremely problematic because Tether is currently printing around $500 million per day and is a source of a significant amount of buy pressure in the market. Tether is used on almost every exchange and is the vast majority of Bitcoin buy orders so Tether can be used to artificially pump the price of Bitcoin quite effectively.

Ray points out Tether as a risk to Bitcoin's value, but I don't think he does an adequate job explaining the risk. Tether isn't a small component of the Bitcoin ecosystem. It's at the heart of Bitcoin with it being the primary currency used to buy Bitcoin with at most exchanges. Most of the buy volume is with Tether and that $500 million per day is huge.

Regardless of what one thinks about the value of Bitcoin, it's irrational to invest while $500 million of fake dollars are being pumped in every day. Once that artificial $500 million buy pressure is removed, the market will face an existential risk. Who knows what the real price of Bitcoin would be without all that fake money?

https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2021/02/03/tether-print... is a good article for additional context on Tether.
