> Using 100% CPU is making the most efficient use of the hardware, not being inefficient

Not necessarily with modern processors. A power-managedCPU at 50% clock-speed actually uses less than half of the power as at 100%.

The relationship of speed to power is not linear, so for a laptop user the most efficient use of hardware might actually be running one job for twice as long at half-speed.

If you already trust your CA authorities and you already know what domain to expect, then that's not necessary, you only need to check for HTTPS and the domain name.
>If you have an argument against what I've said here, I'd be interested to see it, but I'd rather get something really specific and targeted vs. more of a soapbox.

I don't really have to argue against anything here, because you haven't taken a coherent position. "Freedom" and "collectivism" are not supernatural forces. Reversed right-proprietarianism is not leftism.

When you are willing to acknowledge the differences between and specific points among left-wing ideologies, leftists will be willing to talk to you. When you try to boil everything down to categories like "individualism" or "collectivism" that only make sense within your own ideology - as if your ideology was built into reality rather than something you impose upon your perceptions - rather than attempting to honestly engage others on matters of fact, you are wasting everyone's time.

All you've managed to say is, "Look at all those Democrats and socialists: they're not right-proprietarians! How horrid!"
Good talk and I agree with all his points. Perhaps WebAssembly will pave the way.

I agree. It's mixing different styles from different eras (some icons, especially in the device manager thingy feel awfully XP-ish or even earlier period), making the whole thing non visually consistent and quite ugly.

A blood choke is probably one of the most lethal move in all of (unarmed) martial arts and is also one of the most standard techniques in BJJ and Sambo and also taught in Judo and most other grappling arts, all of which are "martial sports".

The algorithm might take set(s) as input, sure. If that's inherently OOP then C structs are OOP. In any case, what actually happens to those sets once they're declared, will probably be procedural. "Let I be the intersection of A and B." "Let Restriction be those elements of S which are positive." Etc. You'll rarely ever see factories, managers, private variables, explicit inheritance, or any other flagship OO mechanisms in pseudocode.
Introducing Software Defect Analysis
The article is brief. But for those who don't read it, you need to understand what this comment means. It's "incredible", so you might be reluctant to interpret it the "logical" way. But the simple reading is the correct one.

According to the article, only 1,492 women in the database had ever checked their messages on the site, compared to 20 million men.

According to the article, only 9,700 women ever responded to a message from another person on the site, compared to almost 6 million men.

Put that way, the release of this information was doing the men a favor. There apparently was "no there there". With stats like that, the whole thing seems to be nothing more than a scheme to separate men from their money, offering virtually nothing in return. Approximately 1000:1 ratio of active men to active women!

Edit: don't just read the Business Insider ripoff, click thru to the actual article. It's much better.
> What you wrote is what gender equality should be about. However, the gender equality being fought for and pushed in the media is the one of conveniently pretending there's no biological differences between genders when it suits you, and then complaining that different results must surely be a result of conspiracy of one gender against the other.

Gender equality being fought in the media is about presuming that disparities in representation are the result of discrimination unless there is evidence to rebut that presumption. Nobody in the mainstream media is talking about the low representation of women in positions that require lots of physical strength because we have evidence of such differences.

The difference is not being willing to accept "oh it's just different preferences" as a reason for observed disparities without evidence.
Butler Lampson: Hints and Principles for Computer System Design – HLF Lecture
I meant the other way around. If you are using affirmative action to benefit minorities[1], try not to benefit folks who are already well off (for a reasonably high definition of "well off"). This issue would be a lot less contentious then. I don't know the stats on this, but anecdotally speaking (this also seems to be a commonly held belief), the majority of the folks who benefit from these things are much, much better off than many of the folks who don't benefit. (Note that the total reservation of seats is around 50% in most places, often more).

Of course, it's not as easy as simply filtering by income by setting a threshhold. In some cases you may want a income-agnostic reservation, too, to prevent caste-based discrimination (not so common in cities, but it still exists), in cases where there are strong human elements in the selection process (i.e. it's not just based on the results of a test, but where there are people in the pipeline who may discriminate). This is something that may need to be handled in a nuanced way.

(Not that I'm saying that reservation is the only solution, just saying that if we want to stay within the confines of this system, it can be improved a lot)

[1] FWIW, in India, everyone is technically a minority, though of course not all minorities have been downtrodden. In this specific case a possibly-non-downtrodden (as far as public opinion goes, this group is in general quite well off) minority is requesting special treatment, which is receiving opposition.
Worse, websites will redirect you to a different domain as part of their normal process.

For example, in the UK, the Lloyds Bank main website is lloydsbank.com, but click (on their insecure page) for online banking logon and you're taken to https://online.lloydsbank.co.uk.

The main website for another UK bank, NatWest, is on natwest.com (it redirects to http://personal.natwest.com), but click for online banking and you're taken to a page on https://www.nwolb.com

Telling users to check the domain is useless, since legitimate sites condition users to ignore it.

EV certificates do fix this to some extent, but users are not conditioned to check these, and it domain-validated certificates just complicate matters for them.

I would prefer to see legislation that mandates security standards for entities that handle personal data. In the UK, secondary legislation against an amended Data Protection Act that mandates EV certificates would work well for this, IMHO. This won't help the Internet at large, but would at least help condition UK users to know what to check.
The Netherlands got a nation wide bike sharing program in 2003, started at 70 locations and since 2013 has had over 250 locations. Every city in The Netherlands has these bike locations, all with the same system, so I'm not sure why they say Spain was the leader with 132 locations.

Maybe it's the chauvinist in me but I felt like I should emphasize 1965 was not the last time we did something awesome related to sharing bikes :P

(Note it's significantly less convenient for tourists to rent these bikes, you need a 10e/year membership which you need to submit a photo and receive a card by mail for)

> Of course! Especially with the "naturally" part. Biological differences in pertinent cognitive abilities, while they certainly exist, have never been shown to be too big (certainly not big enough to be the major cause for observed differences in representation). It is certainly logical to believe that most observed differences are mostly explained by social causes.

Huh?

Are you saying that you truly believe that everyone is the best at everything?

Are you being sarcastic?
Checking the domain name isn't sufficient because some letters look similar to each other and not all users are capable of doing precise string comparison matching in the same way that programmers do. The article has an example - qoogle.com instead of google.com. I bet that a significant number of users would miss this when asked to check.
Can argue they should have the apostrophe too. Like Tom's or Roosevelt's. "Her's" Those just don't happen to be (very) ambiguous.

You're talking about crap-tier developers.

Commercial developers from Windows world are missing huge paradigm shift which happens outside of Windows world: there is no installers anymore. You cannot install Android app on drive C: or drive D:, you cannot install GMail into c:\googleapps, you cannot do "yum install --from app.exe --to c:/myapps", etc.

What will happen if Google will provide installers for all their services instead of publishing them on the web, if Android developers will do same instead of publishing in PlayMarket? How much support they will need to cover all hardware and software?

There is no problem with supporting of whole Linux, on all OS'es and HW if you understanding it. Opensource developers are doing that for free.

To support 3 major versions of Windows in at least two localizations and in few flavors (home, pro, server, etc.) with different set of software installed, which may affect installation process, you need farm of Windows machines and extensive testing. It looks like that to test various Linux distributions you need a lot more hardware and time resources, because there is so many of them.

In reality, to support a linux distribution, you need to install distribution in a virtual machine, install your application manually (on your side, not at client side, so you can skip all bells and whistles), package result, then publish result into your own repository. So to support 10 major distributions, I need 10 virtual images and about 10 days. Feel the difference.

I was not expecting them to take on WP even in a 5 year time but I was hoping to see them grow and chip away at WP's market share and reach 20% - 30% by of the blogging platform market but two years in and Ghost still going nowhere in terms of adoption and even worse it lags behind feature-wise.

So yeah I'm really disappointed at them and equally at Assemble as well but Ghost is supposed to have had better chances of making it since they are well funded and have/had the support of the JS community to build a decent node-powered blogging platform that takes the market by storm but this yet is to materialize.

Man, you really need to read up on stuff. There is a difference between saying "No you don't get a separate nation" and saying "No you don't get a separate nation, and yea I'm just going to put 800,000 armed troops here to shoot you without being subject to jurisdiction if you ever ask. yes that includes innocent children and women"

Here is the thing, dude — 70% of all people from outside Kashmir don't know what is going on there. They immediately resolve to cursing Pakistan or Kashmiris, portraying their troops and their dirty politics as a favor they're doing to us. You know why that referendum was never held? Because the answer is clear — Go away, or at the very least stop shooting our people.

Sadly most of India will never understand, because they aren't listening. Impose AFSPA in Delhi and Mumbai and tell me how that goes.

Don't try to wildly justify everything your people do just to show your kinship to them. It makes you a fanatic, not a patriot. Most of my friends are from India. I love them, and have deep admiration for them. India is a great nation, but sadly it has been very unfair to Kashmir. And successfully made it appear as though they are trying to help, being portrayed as martyrs to their own people.

Research. That will fill in the knowledge gaps you have with regard to kashmir. Then think about it on the grounds of humanity. You will be one step closer to realizing that the situation is actually much different from what you hear about in the news or what your politicians tell you.

Love and respect from Kashmir.

Classifying Gracie Jiu Jitsu as re-brutalizing Judo isn't the term I'd use. To be completely honest, it's simply wrong to describe BJJ as such. Brutal is the last word I would use to describe it.

Jiu-jitsu lends itself much more to the preservation of the health of both combatants in a self-defense or sport scenario as compared to other martial arts. Certainly more so than striking based systems. I would argue that the main focus of any jiu-jitsu practitioner is to end the fight via choke. Look at sport jiu jitsu such as the ADCC or IBJJF. They aren't gladiatorial. The injuries suffered in these contests are as severe as those in any non-combat sport such as soccer or baseball.

MMA on the other hand is by definition violent. The connection between MMA and BJJ is of course undeniable; the fathers of modern MMA are the children of the father of BJJ. However, they are VASTLY different things.

Funny, I was going to use his example to prove the opposite point. How many people in the mainstream media are talking about the underrepresention of women among Fields Medalists? The vast amount of attention is focused on jobs where the distribution of genius-level IQs,[1] is not relevant: programmers, CEOs, business executives, etc.

And speaking of Summers, it's hilarious how people will cite him while ignoring his underlying point about aptitude distribution. Almost 40% of kids who have a 700+ math SAT are girls. Using Summers' reasoning we should see a lot more women in programming and engineering.

[1] This is leaving aside findings subsequent to Summers' comments that over time the disparity between men and women in IQ scores is narrowing.

Just a small comment on this: "To my surprise, during decryption, AESENC is executed, while AESDEC is not".

Cipher modes like CTR, CFB use the underlying block cipher as a state update function for a keystream generator. The actual encipher, decipher is done separately. This means that the block cipher is used in the same way for both encipher and decipher.
The version of this mural in the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City is spectacular and anyone interested should go see it. The Palacio itself is a gorgeous museum and theatre with a world famous folkloric dance company, too.

The 1999 movie Cradle Will Rock contains a retelling of the story of the mural and delicious visuals.

Of course Lenin was nasty and evil and Rivera's politics were awful. Wise people don't judge art by its creators' politics and personal lives. Rivera's sense of progress, science, and respect for both the past and the joys of the machine age shine through the bad politics of the day to make this a brilliant piece in spite of its flaws.

(One of the flaws is that the Palacio isn't designed for a mural and therefore has giant gorgeous marble columns impeding any view of the whole work at once; just step up close and enjoy it in pieces.)

In India's case Britain was already in a situation where it half-wanted to leave (due to the war, etc). This was not the case with the US.

I'm pretty sure India would have had a violent movement too if WW2 hadn't happened and Indians had better access to firearms and stuff. Violence was less of an option because the British government deliberately ensured that the locals were suppressed. Whereas in the U.S. the British were exploitative of the colonies, but they did not suppress the people (until the movement started); after all, those were their own people.

We did, in fact, have a violent movement, in 1857, just that it didn't work out too well.

I don't think that "Indians are less violent" is really an argument to be made here.
