How can security and devops work together?
I like your idea, contact me at a930e4bc4ff969fe52437f14b50535ae908683af and we'll discuss next steps :)
For a while some of the Xeon E3s were the thing to buy, as they were sold at lower prices than the equivalent i7 CPUs (Xeons with 4 cores+HT and lots of cache were sold at the same price as the quad or dual+HT i5s), but this was "fixed" and now the cheap Xeons are crippled (no HT anymore).
Thanks for the info. I haven't had any official tests for apnoea so I do want to get sleep studies done. But I have been told by my girlfriend that I do stop breathing while sleeping, long enough that she worries that I'm not going to continue breathing, but I eventually do. To me that seems like the exact definition of apnoea.
I'm not a javascript guru and there was a time I was reluctant to use any framework - such a luck we grow up from silly ideas :-)

jQuery: 1) 4 hours 2) 3 3) depending on code base, maintainability can be extremely easy but it can also be extremely spaghettti 4) cross-browser compatibility of client-side scripts that manipulate DOM

linked-in dust: 1) ~1 hour 2) 3 3) 3 4) cross-browser compatibility, small size, one of the fastest

jQuery-ui: 1) ~1 hour 2) 3 3) 3 4) cross-browser compatibility, granular control over what features I deploy
Easy? Really? I get that you are offering a service, but I can guarantee that if there were something as fundamentally and existentially important as securing my domain name, it would not be an easy thing to forget to do. I can't even begin comprehending how one forgets to do such a thing.
Can't say this is at all a surprise. With how aggressive their expansion has been, there's no way they were doing that in the black.
Seconded, since the registrar has to provide a grace period, but can still redirect the expired domain to any place they like.
Very meta. We are all 404s.
Kalanick is not necessary lying about revenue growth, he just doesn't differentiate between gross or net which is misleading unless you do your own legwork into the revenue numbers.

Not much of a story here...
> It's worth treating them well.

Again, I agree.

> Without them, you're nothing.

Plenty of lifestyle business owners would beg to differ.

> If a company wants loyalty from their employees, they have to demonstrate their own loyalty towards their employees first.

How? What's loyalty in this context anyway? Working your ass off for your employer? Or perhaps not firing someone even though he's holding your business back? I would recommend neither.
do you have a Google Form/Spreadsheet or anything similar set up for this, or are you planning to scrape the comments here later? Might be tough to filter out en masse the comments answering your questions from the strictly discussion comments, even at the top level, depending on response. You'd also probably get better responsiveness with an easy form for folks to fill out, especially considering the structure of the responses you want
No matter what system you will come up with, it will always be vulnerable to the actors trying to game the system. Like with many other cases, I think we're making the same mistake airport security does - focusing on last year's threats. We need to put more effort into winding ways to punish assholes (the technical term would be "defectors").
Affordable housing for families isn't really a thing these days. Even the public housing explicitly marked for the purpose is mostly booked-up by now.
Django REST framework 3.2 released
My insurance company refused to cover an "automatic" (APAP) machine for my obstructive sleep apnea, only a "constant" (CPAP) machine was acceptable to them. The medical supply company then provided me with an APAP machine that was configured such that it behaved like a CPAP machine.

3 minutes of Googling and quick change to the settings enabled the automatic function. I found the APAP much easier to sleep with than the pretty harsh blasting of the CPAP setup.
I think you are underestimating these folks. They are making it a criminal offence to remove Digital restrictions. It is their way of acknowledging that removal of DRM may always be possible (though looking at Apple's track record I think this assertion is questionable). Possibilities aside if you have the potential to spend a year in jail for jailbreaking your own hardware then that's a pretty big disincentive for many folks.
Free trials, freemium, and plain old free are fairly common models that boil down to paying to acquire users. Two of them move toward paying to retain them. Free as in Google is clearly an example of a business constantly spending money for retention.
I think offering to buy someone a meal is pretty dignified, especially (but not only) if you have time to eat with them.
Tests work because we don't use only tests - we use tests to support and correct our logical reasoning. Even for a very simple task, if you literally didn't think about how to solve it at all and just did the simplest thing to make each test pass, you'd never accomplish it. E.g., "find the absolute value of a number" would end up with a function like

abs(n) {
if(n == 1) return 1;
if(n == -1) return 1;
if(n == -3.5) return 3.5;
...
}

This is why testing is not a substitute for logical reasoning, but a complement; once we think we've solved a problem logically, we can test several cases to check our reasoning.

This is also why no amount of testing will make up for a program with no logical structure. For example, if you use unstructured GOTO as the only means of control flow, then you won't be able to solve the resulting bugginess by writing more tests.
In the UK they would sue you for breach of contract - In reality a compromise agreement would be reached.
They are not even using the 4MB as it is. It takes time to download an image, and apparently they are more interested in what they call 'downlink cadence' - number of images per hour. I don't know enough about the science to say what the desired resolution would be - meaning, would a 50MB sensor actually produce better science for the mission of the DSCOVR (clearly it could be used for other science once you get the resolution good enough).

The specifics are here: http://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/DSCOVR/pdf/DSCOVR%20-%20EPIC%20In...

Also, DSCOVR was initially built for the Triana mission in the late 90s, and it's main purpose was just to serve live-ish images on the internet. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Space_Climate_Observatory)
Not sure if you are saying it's stupid on Reddit's part, or the users'. For Reddit it's smart.

Licensing doesn't just mean making an exact copy.

Let's say Reddit was the one that packaged up a story posted on /r/nosleep/ and sold film rights—the user who posted that stuff would have an uphill battle to get anything from Reddit's profits on the arrangement.

But, as a user, you can still make your own deals (you still own and can license the content yourself to others), and you probably can only make that deal because of Reddit exposure.
Honest question: Why don't the clouds seen on Earth show any activity or movement over the course of this time lapse?
I got a score of 39. It seems despite liking colors in the red and purple ranges I can't seem to discriminate between them so much. It's weird.
I rant about this all the time, but it is because engineering is subordinate to management. Agile, XP, whatever all get turned into a business process by which managers can "run the numbers". They are no longer tools for developing healthy software systems. They are tools to determine the minimal we can do and still make the most from the customer.

In baltimore I've had homeless people come up to me with card readers. :) so that excuse is going out the window. Here random guy let me give you my CC#
Apparently no one wants to discuss the security challenges facing Android users. Flagging articles will not make them go away.
Why Statistical Significance Does Work for Big Data
There is one, and its called search. People are getting used to ask the search engine on their phones and tablets for finding websites, so the big engineer problem is remaking the service into private instances which isn't controlled by google or apple.
Great ! Now the GIMP team will use this opportunity to create their own version of a "domain". I will look & work mostly like all other domains, but just mostly.
Like you will not be allowed to directy save a change to its structure...
Software Development as Communication
Optimal indent size for code readability
It's good to strive to avoid making mistakes, but however hard you try, there will be bugs.

That's basically what the quote is implying - you should not be throwing things together and hoping it will work after debugging, but carefully designing to avoid bugs, so there won't be much if any debugging required.

An analogy to this can be found in the aviation industry: it's known that pilots do make errors and planes do crash, but such errors are treated as unacceptable and they try their hardest to minimise them. It's been a very successful strategy.
In my job we use Angular

1. It depends, you can make something quickly but when it comes debuging or make strange things you need a deep understanding of what is going on. I would say between 30 to 40 hours.

2. At first it's like 2.5, but when strange things start happening, it can slow to about 2.

3. I would say 2.4

4. It was really popular, has a lot of resources available and made development really easy.

Now for my personal projects I'm learning ReactJS

1. The framework is really easy, and it can take about 10 hours to learn it deeply. The difficult part is thinking the way they propose you with Flux. That can be as long as angular with 30 o 40 hours.

2. Productivity can be a little worse than angular with 2.0, but results are much better.

3. This is the best part. Although I haven't build a big project, at first sight it might seem this is the best part of react. I give it 3.0

4. Speed, control of what is going on in the views, popularity, the idea of having the possibility to easily port my apps to native with React Native, the tools such as browserify make even better.

I hope it helps you, sorry for my english.
Given their current funding, even at a 400mm/year loss, they could keep going for several years. Maybe that's the plan?
Namecheap and GoDaddy also offer auto renewal. I've never heard of auto renewal not being offered.
Ah so Taxi companies should be protected against Uber then.

or like how France claimed that a yogurt maker was CNI to avoid a takeover recently
Cannot upvote enough. At this density, and considering caches will have persistence of days (if not more) in the main memory, random errors become a major issue. ECC should have became a standard in system memory 5 years ago already.
I'm still quite new around here so don't fully understand how all this Karma thing works - sorry if I somehow caused you to lose something! (Incidentally, I would love to understand it better, know how to search and track replies to comments etc without having to re-read the whole thread, but I digress...)

I think the point you make is different to "choosing".... and is the main reason I prefer to give something that a truly needy person will definitely appreciate (e.g. food, shelter) rather than something that could be spent on alcohol, drugs or be taken by someone who isn't really needy.

In sum though, I think as long as someone is trying to help, each can choose his or her own preferred way to do that :)
Of course, there's always the alternative of listening to music without DRM. There's a lot of good unencumbered music out there, and maybe all these restrictions will help give it a boost. I think the industry message should be as clear as possible: they are selling something dangerous that could land you in jail if you use it with the wrong music player. If they want to spread that message, help them.
A 64GB maximum is seriously disappointing - I upgraded my 3 year old pc to its 32GB maximum a few months ago and right now it's using all that plus 27GB of swap. I could easily and usefully use much more.
It's only about 20 pictures at 30 second intervals each, which is only 10 minutes. From a million miles away, you wouldn't see noticeable changes in ten minutes. Much like when you are flying in a plane over the ocean and the waves look still.
I used to do this - I'd install Chrome but use Safari for regular browsing an only switch to Chrome if I really wanted to see it.

Now I find Develop > User Agent > Safari (iPad) gives me a usable page on most flash-dependent sites.

Those that don't, I simply don't use.
Sounds to me like they are primarily measuring the financial performance of doctors.
So far it's been rocky with me. I had a VM that I used with what I think is called GandiFlex (I set it to lower the memory during the night and increase during the day) and apparently when my VM tried to scale up the hypervisor didn't have enough memory and for some reason failed to migrate the VM to another hypervisor. This left my VM offline for many hours until I noticed it.

Gandi's customer support official response "don't use it". Gandi's management response "you are right - we don't have enough monitoring and are looking into it". With no follow ups.

At least they credited me, generously, for their latest outage in their US datacenter.
Dell probably does that so that they can quickly benefit from the following price drop. Most of their market will not even know what the latest processor is, anyway.
I also got a zero, and I just barely noticed what you mean--I think it had to do with the white cursor being over the block.

Probably similar to this illusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checker_shadow_illusion

I noticed I had to spend a lot of time in the bottom two rows near the ends--in the purples, for instance, it was near-impossible for me to tell the last three tiles apart.
Because RFID is a family of technologies operating at 4 different frequency bands and using 2 different coupling mechanisms, it is difficult to generalize. For the use case of ID cards, 13.56MHz and inductive coupling are the relevant characteristics. Anti-collision is pretty weak in most 13.56MHz transponders, and it is no better than it was 8 years ago.
So, they are ignoring regulations, avoided paying insurance fees and drivers licenses for months, are equally expensive as normal taxis, are paying their drivers badly, and are STILL not profitable?

Well, this is a failed experiment.

They're still in an aggressive growth stage, they're supposed to be burning through their cash.

Did anyone really think that $5 Uber pools were money makers?
Maybe just tell us about them.

Google plans monthly security updates for Nexus phones
Pros:

- 64GB for desktop (finally!)

- 26 PCIe lanes (i.e. multiple fast M.2 PCIe NVMe, making 5k/4k RAW video previewing possible in real-time)

OK:

- very small performance increase comparing to Haswell two generations ago (Broadwell?)

- DDR4 performance matches XMP DDR3 performance; to see any difference you need to use quad channel configuration

- SGX, the jury is out on this one (double-edged sword, could improve security but also turn into a complete malware mess due to enclave isolation and inability to detect running encrypted botnets once they gain ring 0)

Cons:

- power consumption is up (!?)

- no AVX-512 for desktop
Can't we just stop using the (admittedly convenient) CAN bus for this sort of communication? It was never designed for what people are using it for these days.
1. Can you consistently replicate the bug?

2. Are you sure you can you consistently replicate the bug?
Other Writers Are Not My Competition
I would be interested in hearing the opinion of startup employees who were not a part of the early team (yardstick: <1% equity/options) and what their company's attitudes are about proper sleep and work-life balance.
Not defending DanBC, but if he was talking about "The Public" I think that would disclude someone with a small airway because it falls outside the norm. However, if he plans on making the suggestion that "the public" is all fat so they can't sleep, he should back it up with facts.
Have you read TPP?

The current leaks specify that selling, buying, owning, using, inventing, planning, modifying, etc of devices, software, or methods that can be used or could be helpful for removal or circumvention of DRM have to be treated as a a crime.
They're probably just moving to Sourceforge.
This is mildly infuriating. Maybe it's different outside the small towns and rural areas I grew up in, but there I would be comfortable wagering the majority of the people visiting the ER are there to get pills.

I broke my leg from a rock climbing fall and was taken to a hospital in Tullahoma, TN. The fracture was difficult to see on the x-ray and the ER doc thought I just had a aprain. While filling out my paperwork, he asked me what kind of pain medication I wanted. When I told him I didn't want anything, he jerked to a stop and looked up at me when an incredulous look.

While in college at Johnson City, TN, I ran into a wall head-first diving for a basketball in a pickup game. My buddy took me to the ER to have them check on the concussion I had, and while we waited, someone walked in, asked what the wait time was, said, "that's too long and we'll be back later," and left. They got us into triage quickly, but we ended up waiting several hours (with a lot of folks in the ER clearly there to get pills) before my friend told the receptionists that we weren't there to get drugs, we just wanted to have them check to make sure my brain was okay. Within a matter of minutes they had me back to radiology and out the door shortly thereafter.
Wearable Technology Global Impact on Daily Life – Aspencor Tech
Yeah, it gets put on hold for 45 days at which time it can be renewed. If it isn't renewed with that 45 day window, then it gets listed as "expired" and the owner still has another 30 days to renew it.

Once it goes beyond these two phases, it enters into the "pending delete" phase at the end of which, it's released and open to get hijacked by someone else.

They still have plenty of time to renew it without issue.
The relative sizes of objects in a photo like this will vary depending on whether you're close up and using a wider angle lens, compared to being far away with a very zoomy telephoto.

It approaches an "apples to apples" size comparison asymptotically as you move infinitely far away with an infinitely zoomed lens.

For a quick illustration: http://i.imgur.com/zME26IW.png

When you're up close, the moon obscures a much larger portion of the Earth, even though they're not changing size.
A well-managed site wouldn't grow on the Internet. Look at Tumblr, Reddit, 4chan, they became some of the biggest communities on the internet precisely because they were "everything goes", whereas Something Awful or Metafilter fell into obscurity (and SA became big in the first place when it was less restrictive). The less you "manage", the more likely your site will end up in Alexa top 100.
You could stamp everyone of your posts with a CC-NC license. Since the content is yours - I don't think they can magically wave the CC-NC license on the basis that you uploaded it to their site.
Launch your community with an automatic Slack signup page
You don't have to be an asshole to forget to renew your domain name, which is probably what happened here. Or to die without heirs who care. Or to not properly maintain your RAID, which is apparently what happened at SourceFarce. Are you suggesting we should be punishing ICANN and EMC? Probably the only practical way to "punish" them is to build a system that decentralizes the control out of their hands.

NSFW language of the form "_ happens", which is part of the ha-ha-only-serious joke.

/* ahh, the irony of using a NSFW-censor to describe this link */
1000x this. I've turned to dtrace twice in the past several weeks to find fixes for serious issues on other people's computers. One was a segfault at startup in iTunes caused by a corrupted cookie cache. The other one was a corrupted plist that prevented adding new exchange accounts or calendars to mail (with no indicators at all -- the new account would just hang indefinitely).
Of course. I wasn't disagreeing with you.
> No "soon" about it, this is already how companies behave. If you have a Spotify subscription, try to cancel it.

I remember closing my account for a certain online dating site. I was presented with three different screens asking me whether I was really sure about canceling, and after that I was greeted with a message that read (more or less) "We've closed your account. Sometimes things in life take a bit of effort, you know?", which was the first time ever a website called me lazy.

The fact that it played like a bitter breakup was not lost on me.
Backbone
1. Learning is relatively easy (I can’t give Hours, for my first code I needed like 2h, for totally understanding the whole lib in depth (at least possible) probably 1 or 2 Months)
2. 1 (Relatively much Boilerplate code)
3. 1-2 (depends on your skills and if you use any extensions that help you structuring your code)
4. It is easy to understand and to extend. I work a lot with interactions like Drag/Drop, custom Widgets etc. Using those was a chore in other frameworks (and needed much binding code and/or extensions), in Backbone it can be just bridged to jQuery (UI).
I know I'm not planning on getting any smart watch until they end the requirement to pair with a phone in order to be useful.

There is no reason they couldn't make one that had SIM card slot, Web Browser and on-screen keyboard.

It would be different if we were only talking 20 or 30 dollars but these cost in the hundreds so they are too much for a impulse buy.

Also, battery life has to be figured out. Even if they weren't gimped if I had to use one regularly charging would be tedious. Perhaps that's why it's gimped if web browsers and GPS and LTE were turned on the battery would be significantly reduced from its already inadequate lifetime.
> Throughout the first two years of life, the brain develops at a rapid pace. However, around the second year, something important happens—babies begin to speak.

I began to speak way before learning to walk, around my first birthday. I personally know of child that began to speak before his first birthday. As in, complete sentences.

Is that rare and my sample set has been biased? I thought it was normal for babies to start speaking at age 1, not 2.
I don't know about "good", but there are Namecoin, based on bitcoin-like blockchains, and P2P DNS, based on torrent-like protocols. Some people run alternative DNS servers, without the sanction of ICANN. TOR hidden services directories might also be evolved into something similar to a DNS competitor.

The current DNS system is based on a central service authority, which creates a monopoly on an artificially scarce resource. If the whole web went IPv6 and no web server had to share an IP with another, private address book names, shared via social connections, could handle the naming of everything out on the long tail of site popularity, and the largest sites could continue using whatever makes the most money for them. I can input names myself to attach to the phone numbers I know, and pass them to a friend with a NFC tap or message, so I could potentially also do that for IP address numbers.

I don't particularly want my ability to use the web controlled by ICANN as a single central authority, especially as I perceived the recent TLD sale as a blatant cash grab. The central authority has to be trustable, and I don't fully trust it.
