Ah you are right, I guess I was looking only at public api wrappers and missed the "internal" dir. I might add that as further commentary that people might gloss over a dir called "internal" and miss the bulk of the library. :P

But where is the domain in your Domain Specific Languages? You built SLs but not DSLs.

> That means "the rules are a little different," said Stan Black, chief security officer for Citrix in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. For example, he's bringing his schedule printed out on a piece of paper so he doesn't have to turn on his cell phone to check it.

> "And they're all staying in the same hotel," said Steve McGregory, director of threat and application intelligence for Ixia, a security firm in Calabasas, Calif..

> Jon Miller, vice president of the security firm Cylance in Irvine, Calif., doesn't see the hacking at Black Hat as malicious so much as simply intellectually curious. But he still turns off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on his phone and only logs on to the Internet from his hotel room using a virtual private network.

Ok I get it, it's a hacker's con, with hackers hacking hackers. If you don't want your phone hacked, don't bring it to Blackhat. "It's to be expected", right?

But isn't also a little bit insane?

What about the people working there? Hotel staff, catering, nearby bars, shops, etc. Do they get debriefed about security countermeasures like this? Or are they left to their own devices? (or should I say "0wned devices")

Do the hotels use computers? Do they get help protecting their systems from damage? How do they manage to get their systems back into a safe and stable state for the rest of the year for when, you know, the place isn't swarming with people for whom "the rules are a little different".

Sounds to me the waiting staff will be the ones with the least protected phones, attracting the "intellectually curious". I'm just thinking of these additional scripts available, not the exploits, but the ones designed to slurp data after a way in has been found. They are targeted at the common types of accounts/usage, facebook and gmail, automated email digging, further escalation to ID theft, etc. Most security researchers/consultants know of these tools but they never really get to use them in their day job, because usually you don't have to follow an exploit all the way through to begin protecting your client from it. But now, they're on Blackhat! And the rules are a little different! Finally!

And even after all the hackers leave, the exploit's still in your phone.

Perhaps I'm being a bit hyperbolic here, but grant that it is a pretty crazy situation and I'm actually curious, how do the local people working there deal with this?

Imagine going to a gun convention and being advised to better prepare by wearing a bulletproof vest, because "the rules are a little different" there :)

Can someone explain what's really an amazing about this? It sounds as though their using machine learning to predict tomorrow's sales in various categories. Why is this surprising or hard?
File size could be a criterion for front-end libs.
Absolutely. Memory errors are insidious because they can look like just about anything - driver bugs, software bugs, disk errors, power issues, media blips, or even nothing at all, just some silent bit of data corruption you don't even notice. It's easy to dismiss the risk when you have no idea how big it is.

It's eye-opening once you've managed a few machines with ECC and seen first hand how common correction events are.
This is a recurring theme. The Java proponents' alternative to the FREE BEAM VM is $8,000 per machine or some other high priced stuff. I could afford an extra IT person just by switching to BEAM on several machines!? Sign me up!

Short Strapless White Dress
I didn't read it like this at all. I read it as: the older you get the more you realize that the things that were important to you when you were younger weren't that important after all.

The older I get, the more I realize how silly many things are. There are ideals I'd tell you I would die for at 20. At 35, I don't even remember what those ideals are.

It is so much easier to forgive and let things go later in life. That's my take on the article anyways.
every author comes with his/her background, but IMHO the historical root plays a much less significant role in ttbp trilogy than it does in grrm's asoiaf. ttbp is somewhat more close to Cthulhu Mythos in which mankind feels powerless facing alien with unknown purpose and incomprehensible technology.
What implications, if any, would this have on their relationship with Mozilla?
I believe any such patch is doomed; the Linux randomness maintainer appears to be thoroughly convinced of the utility of /dev/random, which is unfortunate.

Many people have tried pointing out this design flaw to him.
If you are optimizing towards energy use, we could theoretically make robots or tractors that are solar powered.

But this isn't an issue at all. Farm equipment does not consume that much fuel, and fuel isn't that expensive.

Three Thoughts on the Nutanix and StorageReview Situation
"Polyglotism is one of the JVM's greatest strengths, and interlanguage interoperability on the JVM is the best you can get."

It's not the best you can get but polyglot support is a strength.

"There is nothing in BEAM that makes it more appropriate for running Erlang than HotSpot (that may have been true in the past, but that's no longer the case)."

Still got it beat on latency and security risk per dollar spent: zero for Erlang w/ 5 digits for RT-JVM. If these aren't an issue, then Erlang on JVM may indeed be a superior option. I can imagine many use cases where it would be.
Neat post, though I'm a bit disappointed it didn't go into infix to postfix conversions.
No, really, I have MSc in physics but I have no idea what a thing being 'a feature' specifically means in the cosmological sense - quick googling also fails to find specification for the term.

If it's significant then it is significant within a specific model and elements of said model should be able to be specified with logical precision - otherwise the said model is kinda pointless.

Clearly what they are seeing is a large scale anisotropy - so what's the treshold for an anisotropy to be considered to be 'a single structure' and how is it measured?
PLEAC is absolutely the best resource if you are an experienced programmer in the throes of learning a new language.

I recall reading an article where Opera was highlighted as a company relying hugely on outsourced developers, so perhaps this won't make a difference for Norwegian developers.
But the conflation with Apple is fundamentally flawed. Yes, Apple sells high-end products (and he makes a "high-end" website). But Apple doesn't ban you from coming to the Apple store just because you don't match their "standards"—that's elitist and rude.

As for insulting your customers, people are customers before they necessarily buy something. If you greeted everyone who walked into your store with a slap on the face, I doubt you'd get much business even if they aren't technically "customers" yet.
I think you're a little too excited about JVM's to see the point of the comment. The parent comment included a statement that code in any language can scale without dataflow dependencies. I said it actually depends on the implementation of that language as some don't realize that potential or even defeat it entirely. Gave an example with GIL followed up by examples in BEAM and JVM where implementation mattered.

Far as JVM vs BEAM, it's actually orthogonal to my comment as it would only support that implementation decisions matter for scalability on top of language's inherent traits. You've been arguing that yourself except on other side.
The Best Way to Raise Money from an Angel Investor or VC
I think that's likely a 'healthier' approach - i.e. to be at ease with where you are in life an not feel like there's a set of things you need to do to make life worthwhile. There's a similarity there with the Buddhist approach to desire or 'thirst' for experiences - i.e. to some extent they can't satiated because satiating one gives rise to another, that seems to be how the human brain is wired. It's the same with wealth, i.e. no matter how much people have they generally want more.

In this case domain itself is language construction: I built a system of DSLs that make implementing any other DSLs easy. And I am using this and the other similar toolchains (like Racket) to build DSLs for a very wide range of domains.
I would be interested. We pay for Maxmind and still get a lot of inaccurate data.
Good points. Monoculture hurts us. BEAM people could be putting more effort into copying improvements in competition and academia. That would get BEAM performance way up there. Right now, they seem to focus more on other things with BEAM performing good enough for its users. With the diversity benefit on the side.
No. Perforce is basically the combined worst of Subversion and Visual Source Safe, and something you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.

Because it is so limited, it happens that you can store huge BLOBs in it, which is something that's not directly possible with git (but see git-annex). This isn't really a limitation, though, because the desire to store huge BLOBs in your version control system alongside C++/etc source is utterly confused. For large, undiffable assets like that, you want to keep them in a permanent store, kind of like the way the gnu.org keeps the tarballs for its multitude of projects.

There's a reason why absolutely nobody uses Perforce for personal projects, even though the license to do so is free. It's because Perforce's day, if it ever had one, is long gone. It's just an attractive nuisance now.
tl;dr term paper on sens dep tanks.

Yes, isolation tanks, aka sensory deprivation tanks. Been popular for a while now. What's the big whup?

Oh, it's well written and exhaustively researched. Easy tone. Fun pictures I haven't seen before. Hmmm, not bad.
I assume that you are referring to GM. That bailout was by no means cheap, but it wasn't 80 billion, either. According to Wikipedia:

> In total $51 billion taxpayer money has gone in the GM bailout.[90] Until December 10, 2013, the U. S. Treasury recovered $39 billion from selling its GM stake. The final cost of the GM bailout cost the U. S. taxpayer $12 billion ... [1]

I don't believe this affects your argument really, but I think it's important to try to keep the facts straight, especially about a subject as contentious (and I'd argue, significant) as the GM bailout.

So what? As I said in my opening statement, you are doubling down on a truism. To what end? I don't know, probably some political point you believe in. It's not interesting though. If the economy unravels because we have 50% unemployment, while simultaneously software companies claim they can't find enough qualified candidates, then it is apparent we have a problem. Smugly shoving an Econ 101 in their face doesn't make it possible for companies to pay unlimited amounts.
That's hard. Good news for you is that there's plenty of ongoing work on toolkits and methods for doing that. All alpha quality for now. We'll just have to wait.
You typically don't get registered memory support on the basic single-socket Xeons. It's more a multi-socket thing.
I don't think it's for the type of person that reads HN. I recently asked what a spike was and what the word relates to. I didn't get a clear answer i.e. I don't think anyone properly understood what it meant. I later did some digging - it's basically research. Quite why we have to invent a new word when there's a perfectly good one already I don't know.
Funny you should mention that. I almost wondered if the parent was using the term deliberately. It made the entire story feel as if it had been written in the US in the 1950s. I was reading it in the style of a 1950s detective story.
Yes, because a proposition without it is a statement about a thing: "I exist." Whereas, with not in it is a statement about everything that exists: "Black swans do not exist." You need knowledge of one thing in the former, you need knowledge of everything in the latter.

It's not just the word "not" it's an odd number of nots (double negatives and all that).

I guess you're not familiar with the BBC's tech journalism?

TLDR: It's interesting to HN readers only on the meta level (how does a non-technical readership consume tech news in 2015).

BBC tech news makes very strange reading for someone in the tech world. All the technical terms we use to be precise about things are replaced with broad, ostensibly more understandable, terms that do often sound very childish in comparison - sometimes so much so that they do actually obscure the meaning and even the truthfulness of the message.

As such it can make for frustrating reading, only because you wish there was a better way to communicate these ideas that doesn't mislead people or dumb down the information so much that it's basically without value.

There almost certainly is, to be honest, but it's very difficult, and so probably an unwise investment of effort for the likes of the BBC, whose readers are mainly there to read 'general' news stories and might skim a couple of tech stories as an aside.

It's probably much like a Physics PhD going back to science classes in school - "I see what you're trying to say here, and I perhaps can see why you're saying it in the way you are, to introduce a concept in a way you think is most accessible, but what you're saying isn't actually fully correct, and I find it irritating that you're implying it is".
I think it would be good for the language if we try to "de-escalate" the usage of neutral-looking words that are currently considered offensive. Carefully re-introducing them when the tone is clearly not racist—like here—might be a good way to do that.

"Chinaman" feels like an excellent renaturalisation target, given it is borderline.
MQTT works OK on Android via Paho library, but it seems that changes to upcoming "Android M" will reduce its usefulness.

In the scenario the phone would go to sleep, incoming data on a socket should wake it up - then you could grab a wakelock and do some work.

However with the new Doze mode(s) this no longer seems to be the case. Now the only way to wake the phone up externally now is with GCM.

Its too early to know for sure (more previews of M will be released) but I'm curious how this end.

There's no mention in the article that since iOS 7, there's been a "UIScrollViewKeyboardDismissMode", which allows "interactive" dismissal. It isn't perfect, but the last time I investigated, too many solutions out there involved touching private APIs.
I'm too old for this.
That's exactly what I had in mind when I was asking for any specific citations you might have that address this. Random patch versus self-appointed "expert" won't go nearly as well as supporting evidence versus lack of supporting evidence.

I have a little bit of hope due to this quote from the getrandom(2) manpage: "Unless you are doing long-term key generation (and perhaps not even then), you probably shouldn't be using GRND_RANDOM. The cryptographic algorithms used for /dev/urandom are quite conservative, and so should be sufficient for all purposes." The parenthetical and the second sentence give me some hope.

(Related question: is Linux using the most sensible CSPRNG it could be using?)

But even if that doesn't work, I can see a few ways around that. Most notably, /dev/random and its associated ongoing accounting could become optional. (This is already something I'd like to do for size reasons.) Then, for compatibility, random could be a symlink to urandom.

And yeah, between that and the ongoing battle against the Great Evils of hardware random number generators, the potential of Linux's randomness mechanism seems rather maintainer-limited.
From the beginning, "the sharing economy" seemed a cynical phrase to me.

About all I know about it is uber and abb. People seem to like it, but nothing is "shared," money changes hands. What is most obvious to me is that it's a way to participate in a regulated and licensed industry without following regulations or obtaining licenses.

This is not a statement for or against, just an observation.

In addition, I consider charity to be very condescending. It makes recipient dependent, in terms of power relations, on donor. Many wealthy people use charity to rationalize their empire building, and that's a symptom of this power dynamics.

The exact same problems apply to the State apparatus; sure, you can kick out a few politicians, but public pressure can usually kick out a head of a charity organization as well. Changing the system itself, on the other hand, is extremely difficult. And people obviously use it for empire building.

The idea that the modern State is an accurate representation of the democratic consensus is, in my opinion, absurd. It is not, for better and worse. And at least the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is honest about who controls its resources.

You would be surprised, actually. I think there's quite a bit of work going into BEAMJIT, an LLVM based JIT for Erlang that far exceeds HiPE. I won't argue with you though that the VM could use improvements gleaned from the last ten-fifteen years of implementation and research.
DroidDucky – Executing duckyscript payloads using a plain Android device
Of course, it needs benchmarking, but "one int64_t and a boolean" is bad, cache-wise, so I would expect it to slow down the code more than putting those two fields in 5 bits.

Also, I doubt he needed to pack below 64 bits, as the article states "which fits into 61 bits (8 bytes).".
