So not true, the RT-AC68U will walk circles around any eMTA an ISP will give you. The eMTA's cable companies give are expensive because a DOCSIS 3.0 modem is already $80 on average, adding a VoIP gateway and WLAN router plus a sufficient profit margin adds up.

An Overview of BGP Hijacking
Indefinite doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.

Here's some synonyms to help you out; vague, ill-defined, unclear, imprecise, inexact, loose, general, nebulous, fuzzy, hazy, obscure, ambiguous, equivocal, indeterminate, unspecified, unlimited, unrestricted, undecided, undetermined, undefined, unfixed, unsettled, unknown, uncertain.
> Also I wonder if it goes too far from abstraction, the ability to name and manipulate something before specifying what it is, exactly, and how to define something iteratively as you become more familiar with what it has to be.

We have some really interesting ideas here around query-first schema generation. E.g. using things before they even necessarily exist as anything formally in the system. Powerful IDEs like Visual Studio enable this workflow, by giving you a quickfix that will create a method/function if it doesn't exist. Coupled with heavy normalization (i.e. 6th normal form) and a nice way of dealing with modeling in that world [1], we should be able to provide a really nice iterative experience. Our explicit goal is for working with Eve to feel almost conversational and exploratory. We found one of the biggest problems with tools like Access was that they forced you to plan everything up front, to define schemas and relationships before you can even do something of value. That's a trap we want to make sure we avoid.

> I also dislike drawing diagrams on screen when they're much quicker to sketch out on paper, but that's probably more of a personal preference (and I've not spent enough time with the editor yet).

The current editor evolved out of the question of if we could write programs on paper efficiently. I agree with you and one of the things I really want to explore a bit further down the road is a sketching-like interface that enables you to draw things directly (it wouldn't be too hard to even capture images from a whiteboard or sheet of paper).

> Several engineers suggest that Aurora is more robust, though more difficult to set up, than Chronos. I haven’t evaluated Aurora yet, but it’s likely worth looking in to.

I've tried out Aurora (and helped improve the setup docs a small bit) and found it quite nice. If you're going to try it out use vagrant, and to deploy it in production I suggest working off the Vagrant setup: https://github.com/apache/aurora/blob/master/examples/vagran...

That wouldn't work at my university, unless it changed a lot on the last 20 years.
For me the main reason was the FFI, even if back in the day it did not support re-entrance - e.g. something in the "C" land has to call back "lua" land.

But the JIT in luajit is simply too impressive to skip it over. I was able to quickly prototype things with it, running almost at "C" speed, and some times even faster.
When I upgraded from a generic $50 linksys router to a $200 Apple Extreme it vastly increased the range and speed of the wireless. Before it my TV's netflix connection would drop all the time or switch to low-res mode.

So it's conceivable that it would better your Internet.

It's logical: the higher the antenna, the larger the area it has in its line of sight. If your base station is going to serve a large area, you want it as high as possible. If it's only for a small one, not so much.
Awesome analyze! :-)
Of course, it's a classic that remains pertinent.
Their FAQ suggests increasing coverage by having one unit act as the router (doing NAT), and having others act as (bridged) access points:

I think you're struggling because the question is so broad. I'm pretty sure that most interviewers aren't even sure why they are asking the question. Some are probably using it in order to get the conversation going. A much smaller, savvier group might be using it to see how you define yourself. Either way, I tend to ask a clarifying question: "What do you want to know about? My hobbies? Education? Work experience?"

Your answers to pretty much all interview questions should be tailored to the specific job and the story that you want the interviewer to remember about you.

Especially at school, I'm pretty sure that when they ask for "gender" they mean "sex". It makes sense for medical reasons for example. I don't see any reason for them to care about gender. Why would they care?

IMHO the same thing happened with the "object" concept in the '90s.

Where can you get one of these? As a HAM and someone who does a lot of group hiking I am very interested in hacking one of these. Add some solar panels for innawoods charging. Write a program to tune, scan, and communicate over RTTY and Packet. Maybe make a CW transcriber, and add some other software functionality to it and I'd be a really.... happy camper.

How well will it work in a complex network configuration?

E.g. my network looks like this:

Modem - L3 switch - Server 1 - Desktop
\ \
\ - Wifi AP
- Server 2

If I replace the AP with one of these, is it going to work? Server 1 does NAT for the wifi network.

Have changed the headline.
So what's your magical router? Does it have options actually make sense? And a help that is, like, helpful?

I'm talking about things such as "Enable XPRESS whatever". Help: "Turns XPRESS whatever on or off". And then you find out that no matter what the feature was supposed to do, theoretically, in practice it makes the router slow and unstable. Or, at worst, crashes it. No brand is immune. Many (non-enterprise) routers will advertise QoS features, but you find that you are better off without them.

That goes for almost all brands that are not classed as "Enterprise" - and even some that are.
If you can prove that it worked, it didn't actually work. Unless someone boasts about it later, all anyone will ever see of a successful play for plausible deniability is the denial. As far as you can tell, their machine really was a victim of a botnet.
You got downvoted, but you make a good point, if not slightly hostile.

However, I think it's great that people have those tools for Linux. Sure, they might need to be configured sometimes, but most of the time they're something someone online thought they needed so they made it. It's a great community.

However, while I have had to make lots of configuration changes with Linux (even if it's just adding API keys, changing some simple and documented display parameters, sand so on) I've never experienced stability problems with software. I mean, sure there exists bad software, but I've always had great stability on Linux.

I find the article confusing. The title claims software engineers will be "obsolete". The text claims that what will happen is that their role will "shrink". Then it concludes by saying that "there will still be specialized software engineers and plenty of computer science-minded humans in the future".

Looks very similar to what I used to hear in the 80s, about CASE tools.

Yes, that is somewhat speculative on my part although the "chemistry" part behind the bond created by breastfeeding is very well established.
Having a little bit of experience in the telco industry, I could really say a lot of this topic even without knowing the details of the hacks.

For instance on the IMSI catcher, from what I understood they are a form of MIM attack where a fake base station connect to your phone and forces it to switch to non-encrypted mode. Why non-encrypted mode exists? Well, in the past (20 years or more) encryption was expensive and base station huge and bulky, none believed it was a conceivable attack. So they introduced a signal to switch of encryption to increase capacity in emergency.

Now you could trick cellphone to switch to un-encrypted and intercept traffic. Why this vulnerability hasn't been closed? Many reasons, first of all even if base station are no longer configured to support this mode, they should accept unencrypted traffic for inter-operability and the same it's for phones. Furthermore, it makes a lot easier to implement devices like personal base station to enhance network coverage in buildings.

Also, there's the "next gen" bug. It is almost 8 years that telco company think about 4th gen technology, the LTE network and VoLTE. This is an paper a totally new systems built with new technology and new threat model in mind. It is not perfect but far better. The issue? Implementation took longer than expected (as usual) and none want to spend money and time in fixing something that will be replaced. Sounds familiar?
> Yeah, still doesn't give them legal claim to 'This Wifi SSID'

Nobody has a legal claim to any wifi SSID. They don't have an exclusive claim to the conference SSID, and you don't have a legal claim to your hotspot's SSID (the one that's actually at issue here). Conflicts can occur, and the law has nothing to say about them.

> Also, there are trespass statutes for people behaving as you don't wish within private property.

Yes, there are, but it's not the FCC's role to enforce those particular statutes (nor should it be). The real question is whether the FCC should be unilaterally setting policy regarding interference at the MAC level where things like de-auth packets come into play. That's being discussed in another sub-thread, so I won't repeat the points here.

> Within the bounds" - so their walls are RF shielded, then?

And don't they have Brillo? Having this without Brillo duplicates (particularly security related) effort and signals that Google doesn't consider Brillo to be acceptable for use in its own products.

I imagine going w/ Brillo would have set back the release schedule, but Brillo, if their vision for both products were to come to pass, is by far the more consequential product. Also... The wireless router market isn't exactly teaming with competitive one-upsmanship. They could have waited 0.5-2+ years without losing significant ground.

Note: Brillo is the stripped down variant of Android aimed at IoT (internet of things) devices that Google announced at the last Google I/O. This is an ideal early device for Brillo, since it's relatively powerful and isn't battery powered, so constraints aren't quite as high as they are in many IoT devices, yet it shares much of the problem space.

If you don't have an expensive product, do some tests with and without the router's QoS. You'd be better of with a raspberry Pi doing QoS in most cases.

I ported the late, lamented Prex operating system to the Cybiko. It was a bit cramped but worked well enough to... well, okay, it actually worked really badly, but it booted a shell and you could run programs. It'd probably run Fuzix quite well. (Prex is Minix-like and moderately memory-hungry.)

It used an H8 microprocessor which was really rather nice. Tight code and interesting to write assembly for, and the gcc port was decent.

The hardware was interesting if useless; there was a not-quite-proprietary wireless protocol (it was an off-the-shelf low-speed wireless module), a small and primitive LCD, the world's most terrible keyboard (it was genuinely painful to type on), but a decent battery life.

The Prex port is probably useless, but it does come with a Linux tool to upload programs via the Cybiko boot loader, if anyone's interested: http://cowlark.com/cybiko/

Some of our users find it useful, for example, to know how much of a trade a particular counter-party can absorb.

Poor choice of words - doing the Bare Minimum will keep you around, but you certainly won't get favorable performance reviews (as you would expect). You're basically aiming for a 'C' grade in life if that's your approach to work. Fine if that's your goal, but Amazon doesn't encourage that mentality - other company's are a better fit for that type of person and that's apparent before you even interview.

We're software professionals. We're knowledge experts. We're expected to refine our skills and expand our knowledge base. This is rewarded handsomely at Amazon. Coasting by is not punished, but the people who do end up on backwater teams working on low-priority projects. This isn't being "managed out", but it does cost the company hires simply because even low-ambition people will eventually get tired of the garbage work that exists in these areas. How is this different from other companies?

To the point about sacrificing life for Bezo's wealth... Amazon is the only company to offer me actual stock, not stock options, not sketchy performance bonuses, but stock. I'm not too keen on the vesting period length, but I directly benefit from the company's success. In my market, Amazon is the top paying employer and offers the best options for career growth.
Making something public by putting it somewhere extremely inconvenient to see is not making it public. If that were the case, my genitals would be considered quite public at the moment. Even though I'd rather you not see them, they are not locked in a single room. Even if I had photos of them on a device, which I would gladly share with people in person, that STILL does not make them public.

> One, because violence is not the main purpose of martial arts.

You should probably try explaining that subtlety at least once to a kid under the age of 4 before you laugh at it. Most martial arts contain hitting and kicking components, or at least pretty physical throws and grapples. To a toddler, that's just fighting since it quacks like a duck. They're extremely literal at that age.

Some toddlers might understand it, but I'd be cautious assuming all of them would grasp an abstract like that. Remember, this is the same age group that might think it's totally reasonable to use the family dog as a substitute for paper towels, or want to share their spaghetti-o's with the fish in the fish bowl. When he's big enough to understand and restrain his actions, more power to him and his family.

I've talked to just a couple of companies that outsourced QA abroad for some of their projects and the costs were extremely high in both cases. In one case, costs exceeded $100K in 6 months -- with thousands of tests written (way beyond what was required) and an end result of it being unmanageable by the original team when the contract ended. This is by far a much better story to hear about bringing QA culture into your company, starting within your four walls.
