This talk describes what Facebook does to combat clickjacking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ih8TSXi3e4#t=12m29s

It's an interesting watch, and they probably stop a few people, but the description they give sounds very bypassable by seeding the links with a certain amount of "legit" clicks.

They pretty much punish websites that use clickjacking by forcing their users to validate the click with popups.

It takes a while to get a sense of appropriate component boundaries. Like other decisions, this involves tradeoffs.

I've found that I sometimes err in the direction of making components too granular, when this makes the data flows more complex.

Boundaries should exist for encapsulation, but also for change management, reusability, and interfacing with data.

Yes, components can be misused.

I've found that codebases such as rails apps often have so much boilerplate and blind following of conventions (equating to many, many lines of code) that the more fundamental issues like flawed domain modeling or incorrect abstractions are rarely even considered a problem.

A really hard problem
I'm in a Kansas City suburb, using Comcast, and just about to sign up for Google Fiber. So Google is definitely showing up where Comcast has a presence.
Hard call: I'd have to say it all depends on the author's intent.

Let's see ... at the time he wrote "Neuromancer" William Gibson had never used a computer -- he wrote it on a manual typewriter (and used the royalties to buy an Apple IIc). His creative vision was more one of social atomization and a particular aesthetic in a multi-national dominated future than it was informed by actual technology. Despite which, his creative vision of "cyberspace" got taken seriously enough as a visual metaphor that I remember sitting in on a debate at the W3C conference in 1996 between folks proposing that VRML should follow a Gibsonian model, and those who thought "Snow Crash" was the way forward. (Neal Stephenson's followers won the day. See also "Second Life", I guess ...)

That's an example of "influencing". "Neuromancer" was very influential, but hardly predictive.

Actual predictive SF is much, much rarer, but if we ever get a space elevator you can probably blame Arthur C. Clarke ("The Fountains of Paradise"), which is an old-school didactic hey-why-don't-we-do-this-the-numbers-check-out work of prediction in fiction drag. Or maybe Andy Weir's "The Martian".

Written SF has traditionally been utter rubbish at predicting developments in the IT/computing sector, with notable exceptions -- for example the novella "True Names" by Vernor Vinge. (I've attempted this too but I'm not going to bang my own drum here.)

The NSA spies on foreign people more than they spy on Americans.

Remember that when they spy on Americans, they have to at least pretend to have a cause, and fill all those secret reports to give to the secret judge and receive the secret authorization and so on.
If Thiel were being contrarian, he's invest in a biotech company that WAS merely trying to iterate incrementally-- it will be very hard for him to find such a company that actually needs funding, as only big pharma is interested in that kind of iteration. Biotech startups are almost exclusively (to my knowledge, exclusively) long shots with potential large upswings. Nobody is working on incremental improvements. Emphasizing a company that claims it won't have any failures or waste is probably indicative of ignorance rather than some grand enlightened-investment stratagem.

Ask HN: Do you use a scrum master in your team?
In my previous workplace, the organization was big on agile methodologies. We have dedicated scrum masters, certification trainings ... Some time after I left that company, I got wind the new management got rid of all scrum masters.

In my new company, some teams have scrum masters, some don't. In my career, I have encountered scrum masters whose effectiveness were questionable but I have also encountered 1 scrum master who was very good at his job.

Here is my current situation and dilemma: I am the tech lead of a team who doesn't have a scrum master. I am hesitating to ask my boss for one because I am not sure of his effectiveness. I could also fill in the role of the scrum master if I know how to become a great one.

If you are wearing several hats like me, what would be your advice?

What is your experience with scrum masters?

Thanks

Note also that the real cost of the pool allocation is up front in the "Pool construction" field. At 368ms in this benchmark, it takes even longer than all of the heap allocations!

With pools, you pay an up-front cost for the faster allocation later. So a better way to arrange the benchmark would be showing off frequent pool creation and deletion of objects.
I used to be an Etsy customer. Now the site has turned into eBay but with worse filtering/categorisation than eBay itself (and a smaller selection).

Etsy used to be good because items were either literally made by someone in their living room, or at least made by small businesses. It was more expensive, but the products were made in small batches so could be much more targeted/niche.

Plus you had tons of commission sellers that did customisation. And these were real people you could actually contact and discuss your needs, not drones pumping out generic items with your name stamped on them.

Now, being realistic, there was always mass produced items on Etsy. But it was like an 80/20 thing (20% being mass produced) and it was pretty easy to tell who was what.

Now if you go on the site it is like 10/90 (90%+ are mass produced). And worse still it is too difficult to find anything that is not, the "Handmade" checkbox is a lie.

So now Etsy is another eBay. That's fine on the face of it, but eBay makes it far easier to find, sort, and filter. So ultimately Etsy is now an eBay with an inferior site design.

PS - If others choose to use Etsy, more power to you, I just want an Etsy replacement that does custom goods again.
Since I was UK based and primarily flying United that wasn't an easy option for me unfortunately (I did have a British Airways AmEx. though). But regularly flying London<->San Francisco got me up the tiers very rapidly anyway.
This isn't leadership, this is fear. If you want to motivate your employees, you need to become a better leader. A better person. Talk to them individually. Ask them their honest opinions and treat their thoughts as worthy of your consideration. Don't talk down to them. Don't be dismissive. If they have negative thoughts or are afraid of something, honestly try to find out why that is and see if you can fix it through a real discussion about the issue. If they're just shy, softly encourage them to speak about things they're good at. Honest, positive encouragement works wonders.

But don't put mics on them and then tell them that they need to speak up more, or be more assertive, or whatever bullshit this program is spitting out.
Impracticality of physical economic analysis aside, I'm now curious about the engineering problem of cooling down a planet overheating from sheer exothermal industry. Can you pack enough waste heat into a canister that launching it into space is a net decrease in energy? Can space elevator tethers be used for evaporative cooling into the vacuum?

As I recall, in Niven's books an alien race moved their planet away from its sun in order to deal with the problem, but I assume that wouldn't even buy us an order of magnitude in planetary energy dissipation capacity.
There is an additional consideration with dystopian science fiction, which is that, to the extent that it may be predictive of what the author sees to be the direction society is (or might be) currently heading, its also very much an attempt at influencing a change in the opposite direction.
The best option for Blackboard higher education is, IMO, fuck the decision makers, ignore the faculty, cater to the students. Let students edit all the info, faculty will get on board when they see students using it, decision makers want control when faculty and students are using it -> $$$.

The reason is teachers only care about Blackboard insofar as they are forced to use it by the administration. They don't really get anything out of it. This is different than interactive lecture software like TopHat, which teachers like. Students on the other hand do get something out of a working Blackboard: they get info they want to see such as homework due dates, what to study for exams, homework help from other students, etc. Unlike with TopHat there is also a strong network effect necessary, which you would get out of focusing on students.
What kind of contact is it? Do they do more than send texts or calls when your ride is there?
Peruvian from the ugly side of Lima here. What really happens when you are robbed and try to go the police is that the cops would try to get money from you with lot of excuses: gas for the patrol unit, office supplies, even food for them... So, most of the time, it's almost a joke to ask the police to do something.

I totally disagree with this 'popular justice' movement, but I kind of understand the frustration of people who really have no one to help them.
Yep, it's perfectly fine by me too. Not that downvotes or upvotes mean anything. My comment was not serious at all, just a little bit of provocative commentary.
The entire SSL infrastructure we use is not only looking at you side-eyed, but also asking you if you've checked your SSL root certificate list lately.

Just saying, our life is full of secret master keys. Most of the products built here rely on secret master keys. There really isn't any way to get around secret master keys.

The problem here is that we don't trust the TSA to secure said master keys. In part because it's an incredibly hard problem since any image capture device glimpsing them can enable reproduction, but also because the TSA doesn't incentivise its employees well enough (see pay bands here: http://www.federallawenforcement.org/tsa/ and note that airport security folks won't be making even $70k a year).
Pure hyperbole, and incorrect at that, and it's equally clear where you stand.

In case you are still reading: The poster I was replying to didn't commit a subtle act of prejudice, they made an overtly racist statement about white men. Then claimed that white men can't envision a future of black liberation. That's literally what they said, I responded to that comment.

I am saying that instead of futurism (and other cultural works), the focus of a lot of black people and their effort seems to be civil rights activities. These civil rights activities have an opportunity cost, while you're doing die-ins at the mall you may not have time to write about the future. So therefore we don't have as much of a black vision of the future because they (black people) aren't spending their effort on that.

My comment was about fighting prejudice, prejudice against white people. That sort of behavior is totally kosher on the internet and in the mainstream media and it's very PC and fashionable to bash "white people" and their culture (when it's admitted that they even have a culture). I have gotten pretty sick of it.
My grandmother is an avid player and has told the story of how she used to play with the inventor, back before the game was sold and mass-marketed! The rules were different back then, and I believe, better. Here is the variation we play with:

A common problem with scrabble is that, given a bad hand of tiles, boards get very "closed" very quickly with three- and four-letter words that offer little to no opportunity to play off of. The solution is to allow tile-swapping, on your turn, before you play a word. Many people do this with blanks - swap a valid letter in your hand for a blank on the board. We do it with ALL letters (on your turn, one letter at a time, as many swaps as you want before you lay your word).

The result is an exponentially increased field of possibilities, longer words and a more open board. And more fun for even novice players, once they get the hang of it. It's not uncommon for intermediate players to get three or more "bingos" in an average game this way.
They are. As Alex points out, a fair number are a mixture of single-reader many-writer or many-writer single-writer, and a few are many-writer many-reader.

MPMC: ck_stack, ck_fifo, ck_ring (in the works), ck_disruptor (pending push), ck_bitmap (but not linearized) and ck_hp*

And in some cases, these are just building blocks for more complex structures.

The synchronization primitives are all generalized to multiple writers (exception is ck_swlock which is specialized). The manual pages should point out bounded concurrency.

This, in my opinion, is one of the very compelling reasons to use a GUI for these types of operations.

As an example, refactoring something that touches many files often leads to several related/required changes that aren't part of the main refactor. When you first do the change, you're not 100% sure it will stay around, and committing at this point can be a pain later. As a result, you can end up with many files changed and several logical units of work done, and some may be [parts of] a single file, while some may be [parts of] many files. For 5 or 6 hunks, git CLI is usable. Beyond that, for say, a hundred, a UI where you can jump around is basically essential in order to make usable commits.

I know there are still people that snobbily look down on and dismiss GUI tools, but some things lend themselves well to GUI, so I'd suggest giving them a try.

SourceTree in particular works seamlessly with CLI. When I first started with it (being used to git CLI), I jumped back and forth quite a bit with no issue. Now I really only use git CLI for remote branch operations or viewing reflog, and occasionally for a 'git commit -am' if I happen to already be in a shell.
I have actual nightmares about developing in Delphi. I can't believe there's a Delphi project that people speak this highly of.
I think that's a gross oversimplification. Here you're critiquing XML's use as a substrate for a query language, for which I think you have a good point. For APIs there are reasons why JSON is generally easy enough to work with. But there is a sweet spot for semistructured documents where I would say XML still has the edge, because you don't have to quote text and errors in structure are much easier to identify. The specific problem domain matters with choices like these. See "XML Is Not S-Expressions" for a deeper treatment of the question.

I wouldn't call him either a patsy or a ringleader. He seems like something in between -- a linchpin. LIBOR manipulation was already happening, those above him wanted it to happen, which means he wasn't the ringleader. But he was the guy who made the connections to make it happen more effectively, not a mere footsoldier, but a critical piece of the apparatus.

Sounds like they fight gangs by making a gang.
If they charge money for their services, it is them who have to prove that their services work.

By default you should assume that stuff does NOT work.

If only few people actually sign up, that is a telling sign that most of people cannot find any proof that advertised service works.
The manufacturers were already on Etsy anyway, and Etsy wasn't really making much of an effort to get rid of them, so it's basically a move to legitimize the status quo. I agree that the brand damage is probably going to hurt in the long term, Amazon and eBay have already locked up the "generic crap from China" market. But I guess Etsy is probably thinking that their money spends just like everyone else's, so.

I strongly agree with your first point. Etsy's search is hot garbage, you just can't get there from here. The only major e-commerce site with a comparably bad search is Amazon, and they are highly aware of how many of their inlinks are coming from "productName amazon" and working hard to rectify the problem.

Personally I wish more sites implemented searches that let you get at categories and attributes and apply Boolean logic to them (eg "glass bowl NOT pipe region:PacificNorthWest"). At least then the powerusers can eventually strugglebus their way through the crap. Ebay's search is actually fantastic in this respect, and you can find a lot of the same stuff that's on Etsy - much more easily. Especially, again, the generic Chinese crap.

Now mind you, I've never seen anyone actually DOCUMENT their searches well, even in the cases where they implement them. Not even Google has a single source where you can find everything.
Someone didn't get a payoff.
This is just like the movie Goodfellas, except Tom Hayes (a.k.a. "Henry Hill") was not smart enough to, in a timely manner, seek out the prosecution and rattle everybody out in exchange for entering the Witness Protection Program or some form of clemency.

From what I have read in different cases involving a criminal group or simply a group of teenagers vandalizing a place, it does help to be the first one to talk to the police. Once the police / prosecution has enough information to make a case, they don't need anybody else.

(For those who have not seen the movie, it's a good movie to watch.)
Last two times I've been I've not been able to find an advantage in doing so.
One of the most important roles police can have is to protect the poor from oppression from the rich, and private armed forces are not a substitute there.
I'd argue the extra $15 for Global Entry is worth it, if you're considering signing up for a Trusted Traveler program. You can go from landing in the US to curbside in single-digit minutes, and even if you don't often fly internationally, skipping one gigantic miss-your-connection-long line is worth it.

If you live nearby (or can easily get to) a Canadian border point, NEXUS is an even better value. $50 for five years, includes Global Entry privileges, and you get expedited access in and out of Canada - dedicated lanes if you drive, Global Entry-style kiosks if you fly. It can take a month or two for your interview however as both governments have to approve you.

I do have mixed feelings about forking over money to a system I would much rather see replaced or overhauled. However, considering how often I've flown in the last couple years, my NEXUS membership has absolutely been worth it for Pre-√ alone, and the times I've used NEXUS/GE have been equally handy.
Saying that more black people would be doctors if they complained less is absolutely racist. Do you not see that?

You claim oppression is fictional - so I guess it's possible
you don't.

You say you are pointing at the opportunity costs of protesting oppression. They are only opportunity costs if the oppression is not real - otherwise they may be part of a necessary struggle to obtain opportunity. Do you really think that there is no anti-black racism?

You may be fed up with people bashing white people on the internet - I am too. But that is no excuse for making overtly racist statements against black people, a behavior which is certainly counterproductive to what you claim to be your true aim.

> And Avis is paying the airline for the points, so the airline wins no matter what happens — it's a billion+ dollar profit center for them.

Well, they usually have corporate sales reps hammering out the particulars for big promos like this. Avis is certainly paying the airlines something, but as the size of the buy is enormous, they're going to get somewhere south of the wholesale price on the miles. Both parties therefore are eating the cost of the abusers.
Well technically that would be Object Pascal, yes?
Is the idea here that an artist would first register their work on the blockchain, then publish it publicly?

I've had a very similar idea to use something like that registy with a browser extension that catalogs every resource visited by a user (by the SHA-2 of it's content), what site referred / linked them to it. This will create a big list of consumed content. At the end of the year, the user can view their audit log (and metadata on it, e.g. how many minutes of a video they watched, how they rated it etc) and it will let them donate a certain amount of numbers from an atomically incrementing counter signed with keypair identity to the artists registered for those works and those that referrer them to the content.

The donater could back keypair with a variety of identities (maybe something like a twitter account that takes into account how famous the donater is based on their followers etc or maybe through something like keybase that aggreates together several social media identities into a unique key). The donater could also back this counter with a certain amount of money or BTC or whatever (essentially acting as their own bank).

This allows an referrers/artist to be compensated in both fame (the Sum of the amounts of count assign to them * the follower-strength of the person assigning the count at the time of assignment / the total count that person has assigned) which is useful for parlaying into advertisement backing and fortune (the total value of the count they were given). The artist/referrers can hold their count (speculating a rise in the value of that contributors count), can trade some portion to other's via the blockchain or back to the original donater in exchange for the backing amount.

Obviously people can parasitically clone works and republish them, with minor content variations. Hopefully some sort of auditor could set what constitutes a new vs derived work and how the splits are calculated and to find duplication and attribute it back to the correct authors, it would be up to each donater to choose the auditor they want to use when making their donations. The expectation here is that artists would band together and choose to promote the auditors that do the best job of being 'fair'. Ultimately though, the choice on how to give money to the creators of content would be to the public and so auditors that favor regimes unlimited copyright and very restricted derivation would be less weighted than ones that pushed for creative derivative works.
