It'd be interesting to have the kernel transparently encrypt the secret page whenever the process is put to sleep or waiting for IO, so that the contents are only readable when the process is active. Could be a nice, if not perfect, layer of protection against having the secrets read from other processes. IIRC there's a way to store crypto keys in CPU registers, so that they won't be available in a RAM dump.
Both are a consequence of sex being taboo. We seek it, yet society reprimands you when you are explicit about it. They go hand in hand with anything that is forbidden.

A bit late but still, the thing about reading in a dream is if you briefly look/read something your brain will makeup the meaning, simulating reality. But if you look at each individual character you will only see some primitive lines and circles because the language is a complicated thing and the part of the brain related to it is off during sleep.

In other words you will see something like this |\-oo\-- and your mind will say "ok this means train station is this way". The key to this and all other tricks is attention, just think how many times a day you pay attention to exact shape and font of letters? Usually it's not much :)
Here's a way to decode it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_lkYQ88kv0

In a work context, which is what G Suite is meant for, there's no reason not to have it public.

Also, "public" here means only the time & title, not detailed description, participants, attachments etc. You can easily set individual events to private, or default everything to private if you wish.
Simply have a blog, post cool stuff, and clients find you not the other way around.
Nice! It'd be helpful if one could check the column headers for the things you need to treat, and then the list is filtered for what is effective against those :)
I can't think of many that would be worse.
But it did have quite a bit of custom, chess-specific hardware. http://chess.wikia.com/wiki/Deep_Blue:

"It was a massively parallel, 30-node, RS/6000, SP-based computer system enhanced with 480 special purpose VLSI chess chips"

Also, http://www.csis.pace.edu/~ctappert/dps/pdf/ai-chess-deep.pdf states that the VLSI chips "provided most of Deep Blue's computational power."

That page also answers a question elsewhere on this page about whether computer+human can beat computer. As long as the computer is imperfect, humans may be able to analyze and improve it. In particular, Deep Blue had a weakness that it couldn't learn about. Programmers changed its program to correct for it:

"The rules provided for the developers to modify the program between games, an opportunity they said they used to shore up weaknesses in the computer's play revealed during the course of the match. This allowed the computer to avoid a trap in the final game that it had fallen for twice before."
Perhaps I'm missing something. It appears that the author is recommending against using Hadoop (and related tools) for processing 3.5GB of data. Who in the world thought that would be a good idea to begin with?

The underlying problem here isn't unique to Hadoop. People who are minimally familiar with how technology works and who are very much into BuzzWords™ will always throw around the wrong tool for the job so they can sound intelligent with a certain segment of the population.

That said, I like seeing how people put together their own CLI-based processing pipelines.
If they can produce a color one that is 65" or larger, then I'll buy it.
Do you invest any money? Do you invest all of it in the company you work for?
The cashflow amazing. A recurring license with a large enterprise means thousands of per-seat fees rolling in on a consistent basis. And larger enterprises are less likely to churn since they are more stable businesses and take longer to change either way. This creates a solid revenue stream which can be the backbone of your company's revenue.
Moore's law was never about performance.
Not at all.

We had Windows XP Systems that had explorer.exe crashing randomly when specific Users ran Outlook 2003, the release of SAP GUI we used and the release of SnagIt we had licensed at the same time. These crashes only occured when the users had all 3 programs running at the same time. The programs did not talk to each other in the sense you think of.

It did not depend on the hardware installed, so we suspect it was something in the roaming profile of the specific user, but we never figured out what it was. Perhaps a registry key related to some shell extensions? In the end we cycled those people through various PCs, deleted the temporary and configuration files several times till they could work again.
You could compare with an append-only-file (with offline compaction), in which case saving tons of "file open" operations would actually be a big win, especially if you ever use a network file system. In some cases, a "simple" log+index can beat both schemes.

Also, I've stored lots & lots of photos in a filesystem, and backup is very hard. Backing up big files is just a lot easier.
I've been interested in Enlightenment E17 for… seems like close to a decade now, periodically checking in on Carsten Haitzler's web page for updates on its progress.

This most recent time, I see this:

"Now why talk about this? Well I'm here at Samsung. I am a principal engineer, so I talk with some level of authority in saying that Samsung has been working on its own Linux based OS for a while now, with significantly less fanfare than Nokia and MeeGo. Not only is is solidly being worked on and not relegated to irrelevance, but as part of the work, Enlightenment and EFL have become a central focus. Samsung is putting real resources behind EFL and using it to make a production-ready OS. The OS not only is Linux based, It uses all the other infrastructure from Linux (DBus, Glibc, Xorg, and much much much more). It is also going to be Open Source (GPL, LGPL etc.) and with Opensource upstream gaining contributions back from Samsung."

Does anyone know if there's something to this? I disappointedly gave up on my Nokia N900 after the MSFT announcement and am now a proud owner of a Nexus S, but I would be thrilled to see another competitor out there. Especially one based on Enlightenment, as I've always been amazed at how responsive and eye-catching it was, even on lower end hardware.
I love writing, especially technical documents. It feels like the best parts of creative writing (since writing down what you're going to do is somewhat like fantasy anyway), but without the wishy-washy unreferenced opinions of non-technical writing. I always use citations, write a review of the literature, describe my solution, how I'll implement it, and what the risks are. I think I actually enjoy it more than the technical work sometimes, and it's certainly made my technical work much better planned.
Absolutely on the other side of this. My wife and I are both 100% remote (except for some in person classes which we teach).

We ended up renting an office (a really nice coworking space in Phoenix called industrious, which we have kindof fallen in love with).

We pay for this out of our own pocket because it turns out that the amenities typical to an office are really nice. Our productivity is up substantially since we moved in here.

Here's my prediction: the midpoint between work from home and going back to the office is going to be your employer paying for a coworking space like this for employees who want to be back in an office.
Jesus, so jealous of you all's wives. I've always worked full time, even made more than my ex and put all my earnings to common family bank account.
It sounds like there's two cases:

1. Multi-tenant domains that probably should've always been in the PSL (ex. to provide cookie silos) but are only realizing now that they should be in it due to the arrival of PCM.

2. Sites that want to abuse an eTLD to do something like give all users on their social network a custom subdomain so that they're not polluting the same pool.

--

I think it was actually reasonable for Apple to consider the PSL as it's basically the most comprehensive eTLD list that we have and would allow them to match browser behavior.

The problem now is that case (1) is sending a bunch of requests at once as something will now actually break for these sites. Before now it was really just them being lax with security and not considering that cookies should be siloed. This isn't a unique situation btw, PSL also saw a large increase in inclusion requests when LetsEncrypt added rate limits based on eTLDs.

(2) is obviously bad and there's really no other justification for these sites being in the PSL.

Therefore I think it's reasonable for PSL to deny inclusion requests that are solely for PCM reasons.

This all being said, the PSL is a massive hack [1] and really needs to be replaced by something else. It probably is about time for these companies to invest in a replacement.

regarding screen time, from the source you provide:

"We don't know if it's being caused by the screen time," said Dowling. "We don't know yet if it's a bad thing. It won't be until we follow them over time that we will see if there are outcomes that are associated with the differences that we're seeing in this single snapshot."
Lua is probably a bit of a special case, as it grew extremely popular due to its original niche (trivial integration in complex C and C++ projects): Lua was born in 1993, and started getting used in big-name games in the late 90s already (Baldur's Gate was scripted in Lua in 1998, so was Grim Fandango the same year). From there, it took over most of the gaming industry and could only leak out as a popular language.
I can't stand Netbeans on Linux because of the awful Swing font rendering. Eclipse respects the font settings of my desktop environment. Netbeans looks terrible no matter what.
One day (if not already) they'll be a Harvard Business School case-study of how corporations can create value through strategic use of Open Source communities.

Yeah, that's just what we need, more money polluting the free software community. The only reason there's a fork and lots of duplicate efforts is because of poor behaviour of corporations. You can't make that much money from free/open source and you can't force it.
This is a semantic quibble, but I disagree that objects in JavaScript are any less proper OO just because they are implemented as associative arrays. JavaScript is a fundamentally OO language in a way Scheme is not - for example all built-in types in JavaScript are objects with methods.

I think OO is getting a bad name due to people annoyed with Java, and functional is hip these days. But JavaScript is still an OO language.
> Obviously Oracle is providing services of value if they are able to consistently turn a profit on revenue in the tens of billions per year

Not obvious; Oracle is known for underhanded marketing and lock-in. Or if you prefer: Successfully selling to the C-levels doesn't mean that you provide actual value.

"Linear type systems are the internal language of closed symmetric monoidal categories, much in the same way that simply typed lambda calculus is the language of Cartesian closed categories. More precisely, one may construct functors between the category of linear type systems and the category of closed symmetric monoidal categories." (Wikipedia)

So now the only question is where closed symmetric monoidal categories are applicable :P
So do you yourself currently use Wikis for knowledge capture or do you do it in a different way?
You're right, I should have made it more explicit that I run a software contracting company (though it's not exactly hidden either). In my defense I did mention the timezone difference, and I agree that it is perhaps the biggest issue. But I stand by my thesis: it's far better to work with great remote developers, despite the drawbacks, than mediocre local developers.

That's kind of the entire point. The wealthy who use Manhattan as their playground today are just getting the public to subsidize housing for the people who keep their playground humming.

Manhattan is already far too expensive; I have a friend who commutes daily to Manhattan from Philadelphia because rents are 25% of what they are in Manhattan. It's only 90 minutes to Penn Station on the train, which is about the same time it would take from the affordable parts of Brooklyn or Queens.

You should probably let Parallels [1] know this, so they can stop wasting their time advertising Parallel Desktop’s support for DirectX and OpenGL (via Metal) as a way to play Windows games on the Mac.

(Disclaimer: I don’t actually use it for this purpose. And while it may be true that macOS guests can’t use accelerated graphics, someone looking to play older Steam games presumably has access to the Windows versions.)

Or both. She started to go back a long time ago to see if she could make a positive difference there/then. She did not succeed so she is here now. Perhaps she has to go back even further and we will find even earlier images of her when she has created that timeline, and if "we" are in it.

I think that’s down to formula e being very-nearly a spec series. Formula e fans get very defensive it not being a spec series, but the regulations (and lack of big time money) make the cars much, much more similar than they are in F1.
I interned at an observatory as an undergrad, which was a similarly fun position. Plenty of opportunity to architect tons of smaller services or tools or contribute to open source astronomy libraries. Just about every facet of computer science was used in one way or another, and I got a taste for almost all of it. Databases, networking, front and back end, real-time computing, among others. The only thing I didn't really learn was how things work in the corporate world, with BAs and product owners and bureaucracy.

I don't see how a statement as brief as mine could be seen as a revision of history: fascism was a dangerous idea that took over entire countries (so was communism). That leaves out a lot of details, but hardly constitutes revisionism.

I also wasn't trying to suggest that we shouldn't denounce dangerous ideas, in fact such denunciation is one of the primary mechanisms which prevents bad ideas from garnering enough support to make a difference in elections. Rather, I was trying to say that censorship is not the proper way to marginilize dangerous ideas. Only after reading your post and then re-reading mine did I realize that I never specifically mentioned censorship, but that's what I was thinking about.

Cool. I'm happy you guys find it useful! Feel free to ping me at kai at tinkercad.com if you guys have any specific issues.

We are thinking about all of those things but some of them might take a bit of time. The internal representation of Tinkercad is a true volumetric format, even simple models would take gigabytes uncompressed, which is why we store them in a cluster. The upside is that our boolean operations are rock solid and the STL:s well defined. The downside is that doing a push pull operation literally means moving the equivalent of digital dirt around.. :-)
Thanks for the good response. I'll be taking a closer look into ql as soon as I can.
My take is this: searching delicious for tags of my interests always turned up cool results I would never find in Google.

Hi Matt,

Completely agree. At the end of the day markets depend upon supply and demand forces. The economic landscape looks much different to what it did 10 years ago. Smaller companies that need contract flexibility are springing up everywhere, and the demand for flexible space is increasing. There's only so long this can be ignored by those operating or owning commercial space.
"working very hard with the support of different parties to find a solution to our recent issues."

And yet still no explanation from Mark as to what those issues specifically are.
Everything in the Java language is done so as to prevent clueless people from messing up too much. It is an useful goal, but it impairs creativity and productivity. Complex concepts are either not implemented or forbidden outright. This is even in contrast to its closest competitor, which is C#. The latter has evolved a lot since its creation, while in the Java world lambdas are the hot new thing.

But hey, you can hire cheap labour and they will be prevented from messing up too much, so corporations like it.

This is just so wrong. It essentially denies there's any such thing as property rights.
And yet we should applaud the move. I will always appreciate a company moving proprietary technology into the public sphere.
But I'm also a little amazed that there still isn't a good Photoshop replacement.

It's hard. Inkscape is a good Corel Draw replacement, and the drawing functions in Open/Libre Office aren't bad. In 3D land, there's Blender, which is a good 3D animation program. (It still has the UI from hell, though. 3D UIs are really, really hard to do well.) GIMP started life as a command-line program and had a GUI tacked on later. That never works well.

Pinta Image Editor tries to be Microsoft Paint with some extra Photoshop LE features. It has roughly the right feature set, and a reasonable Photoshop-like UI, but it's so buggy it's useless. Components of the GUI randomly disappear. The drag markers from selection end up in the actual image. Resizing fails for moderately large images. The original developer abandoned it around 2012, and while it's getting some maintenance, it's still not very stable. Putting the current 2014 release into the Ubuntu repository might help.

This is what the author of the original article is trying to say, apparently nobody has heard of hybrid dictionary crackers.

"Even our designers have CS degrees"

Hmm

In order to obtain a job, you need to satisfy an employer's stringent and sometimes arbitrary requirements. In order to do so, you must spend extra years of your life in school.

That's a naive analysis - given a pool of unknown candidates (e.g a stack of CVs from people unknown to the hiring manager) he or she will obviously look for "the best" candidates, and lacking any other indication (e.g. from fresh grads with no work experience) will go for the best qualified. It's not the case that employers are driving up the academic requirements - they are merely responding logically to a more academically qualified pool of candidates.
4th (last) gen fighter jets have "MFDs", or multi function displays. They're similar to ATMs, there is a set of buttons (usually 20) around the display that are assigned to different things based on context. They display stuff like:
Radar contacts
A map
Received radar signals (e.g. From an enemy aircraft)
A infrared image from a targeting pod
Armament status
Etc

4.5th and 5th gen aircraft are touchscreen though, with full tiling window managers. They're still highly classified, so we're unlikely to get any more info on them until the 6th gen in the 2030s.
