It was a clink baitish title. Looking at the title I'd assume it was all about the US hording oil. In fact, they mentioned several counties and stated it was common for larger countries to keep reserves.

The title is trying to bash the US and capitalize on the US hating going on right now.

I was referring to the Solow productivity paradox: computerised technology certainly feels much more efficient, but in terms of the economic variable "productivity per person-hour" the difference is not as striking as expected.

The qualified yes was really a no: I believe that the market structure can't and won't deliver open, secure, interoperable devices in the forseeable future (say 10 years).

Everyone opinions will differ but for that it's worth I personally don't see the problem with a referral link. Maybe it should have been labelled as such, just for the sake of transparency. But since they are recommending a Digital Oceans Ubuntu droplet then it seems kind of appropriate for that recommendation to include a referral.

It's really no worse than having adverts or Amazon referrals. In fact it's less intrusive than the former.

This is my experience in GitLab application as developer.
After my application I received an email like this:

The code you linked to is all quite basic, could you give me an example of some more complex
Ruby code worked on, so that I can make an assessment of your ability in that regard.

There are many developers better that me, but I never say to other developers during an hiring process ' your code is all quite basic', it is not elegant.
I have commits in ruby on rails framework but sure there are many developers better than me!
But understand under the wood of a complex framework like rails is not very simple, for me :)
Anyway I send some part of my last works and that was the response:

I have reviewed your application and regret to inform you that it has not been selected for further
consideration, because I don't think your Ruby/Rails skill is currently at the level that we
require.

Yes probably it's sure but maybe 'your skill do not fit with our requirements' or ' we're looking for an more experienced developer' ?
I think that in two mails like that, there is a lot of arrogance that not match with open source mentality.

P.S.
I think that gitlab is a great product, it's just my experience in application process.
> If people are afraid of releasing the car's code, the agency doing the emission testing could make it a bit less obvious when the car is being tested. That would make it harder to cheat.

I'd say requiring the release of all source code involved in or connected to control circuitry in the car (i.e. anything other than in-vehicle dash systems that are completely isolated from CAN, etc.) would be reasonable. The safety concerns outweigh any proprietary benefit to the companies involved.

It would also create a lot of pressure for the manufacturers to actually isolate the non-critical value-add parts from the critical keep-the-car-driving parts, which would increase security.

It can be used in several situations, one could be:

The acts of a person implies that person's motivation is not to use a product or comment about qualities a product but to bash the producer/creator using the context of the product. So ulterior motive is to punish creator, the actual product is only a medium. (grape: product - wineyard keeper: producer)

Sorry it sounded a bit harsh. I also agree that a dry and more technical blog entry would be better, but I think it is not a big deal considering the importance of the product.

Evolution of Feature Complete
That would apply but it's somewhat odd to see the tone of surprise for something which has been widely mentioned as an optimization-turned-antipattern for SPDY or HTTP/2 since at least 2012 or so. I believe at least Chrome has also optimized so addresses which share the same IP (or SSL cert?) will be collapsed into the same existing connection rather than opening new ones.

Opening all of those connections is also something of an anti-pattern even for HTTPS depending on how much data you're exchanging relative to the SSL handshake cost – see e.g.:

This. I don't know why people think the US should be in love with every anti-US regime and any attempt to hurt that regime is suddenly "OMG EVIL USA" when we see the same realpolitik everywhere else without protest. Most well off nations have strategic reserves of things, offensive trade policies, protectionist economic policies, etc that can be used offensively. How many sanctions, targeted import taxes, bans, and tariffs and such are active right now between nations? Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands?

> You don't need an anti-virus if you are only running software from trusted sources

What does "trusted sources" mean in the Windows world? Microsoft itself has shipped virus-infected CD-ROMs in the past.

> Linux package managers are nice until one needs something it isn't there

My sense is that, while this can happen, it's less likely to happen with the major Linux distros than it is with Windows. Major distros have tons of software in their package managers.

> I never saw a UNIX that would allow to prevent users to install software locally, as Windows does with Active Directory group policies

Um, you do realize that all it takes is not putting the user in the "sudoers" or "wheel" group (depending on the distro), right? This is routinely done in settings where only sysadmins are allowed to install software, such as universities. You certainly don't need anything as heavyweight as Active Directory group policies.
I understand your reasoning, and realise that this is something potential employers look at.

That said, I don't think amount of activity or nr of commits should be indicative of anything for any good employer.

I also don't know if this is enough of an argument to change this in GitLab. I prefer to choose the privacy-preferable option.

As a citizen, I'm still pretty much open to this is-nuclear-good-or-bad debate here. The biggest problem in Japan though is that people don't openly talk about this issue because of the embarrassment or fear of confronting others (Japanese people are notoriously bad at public discussion). It's such a divisive issue. As a result, the entire topic is avoided and kinda invisible. People are resigned and feeling that no one can change the situation (which is a pretty common feeling among the Japanese).

Sometimes I wonder if we, as a nation, really deserves a better future if so many people are simply giving up struggling. Sorry for a negative comment.
But, but, I'm on a desktop running an open, secure, interoperable device right now. Just migrate this software into a device, right? The capability of devices right now is comparable to desktop computers in the 90s. And way beyond what it took to put a man on the moon. So it'll fit, soon if not now.

It's difficult to implement efficiently:

* If you use the underlying hash as a black-box, each HMAC invocation compresses 4 blocks. An optimized implementation will only require 2. Many implementations (e.g. the .NET one) don't include that optimization and thus suffer from a 2x slowdown compared to the attacker's implementation.

* If you use HMAC naively, it'll hash the whole password on each iteration, opening a DoS attack. Django made this mistake (see http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/09/long-passwords-are-g... )

It abuses the underlying hash:

It xors together the outputs of different iteration numbers. This can interfere with the feed-forward of certain hash constructions. As far as I can tell this does not cause security issues, but it's still very dirty.

---

Personally I'd go so far as to say that it's worse than PBKDF1 with a sufficiently wide underlying hash.

I'm not American, but I honestly can't believe some people actually process their political worldview in terms of "political correctness". The term is openly slanderous (ie: none of Sander's proponents would say they are "for political correctness").

One tricky bit with a one-way train journey like this is that the train travels all night. So roughly 1/3 of the scenery you go through, you won't be able to see at all. If you have something in particular to see, like the badlands, it might only be visible going eastbound and not westbound.
This is from hearsay, but from what I understand from the (french) site you are paying Blablacar when reserving, and then you give a code to the driver IRL before the ride, so that he/she can redeem the payment. So you don't pay "directly" the driver.

Here is a link to the UK site :
https://www.blablacar.co.uk/faq/question/how-are-the-booking...

So the booking fee perceived by Blablacar is about 10% of the cost of the ride.

It is possible you used an earlier iteration or that different market have different prices. It is very possible booking is free in new markets.

I fully agree. I wouldn't remove it at all, just add a a mention that it is your referral link.

This is free software folks. If the coffers aren't held out with donation links, I see nothing wrong with him getting a cut elsewhere.

In fact, the nature of this software is unthanked work and relatively unknown to the general public. It addresses a real issue, and it addresses it for free.

"Cheesy" is criticizing him for the referral link.
It doesn't sound like you had trouble with the CA part of OpenSSL if you created a self-signed cert from the command line.

It might be that there's no (that I know of!) convenient way to specify extensions such as SAN on the command line. You have to do it via a configuration file, which you in turn pass as an argument. And that's probably the way you want to do it anyway if you script things!

As long as you do it that way there should be no problems with signing certificates, with or without extensions.
I would be in favor of any new technology for the web requiring TLS. It provides both a carrot (of new features) and a stick (of falling behind competitors) for people to get off their asses and secure the web from a whole host of attacks.

Even if your page doesn't have sensitive information on it, an insecurely loaded page provides an attacker the avenue to inject potentially malicious code. This will be the case until the entire web is HTTPS-enabled.

This is fairly conspiratorial. SA was looking at all this fracking and realizing fracking could easily invalidate its oil wealth. All it has is oil wealth. If the regime wants to survive it must compete with fracking. I'm not sure why this is suddenly a surprise as HN and other popular sites have had fracking articles for years and those articles specifically mention the threat fracking is to SA's oil wealth. That's on top of the upcoming electric car revolution, which is very much depress oil prices futher as demand plummets. And that's on top of China's oil demand going down as its slowing down its mega-building projects and entering an economic slowdown.

It probably doesn't help that Putin is messing around the mideast and trying to get all sorts of oil/gas pipelines running through it. On top of Putin cozying up to Iran, which is SA's regional rival. I imagine there's a realpolitik angle here and probably a dozen other angles, but the idea that the US called up SA and made them drop prices solely to hurt Putin laughable. Putin is already hurting Putin by forcing sanctions on himself with his various annexations. Even without the oil drop, Russia's economy would still be in the shitter. They can't get the loans they need to beat the recession that's been brewing for years. They can't modernize their economy, can't diversify, etc. They scared off foreign investors with their annexations, civilian targeting, corruption, and nationalization of wealth. What country did the founder of VK flee to, for example? The oil price drop is just the icing on Putin's incompetence.

The ruble is now 0.015 US Dollar, which is half its historic price. We didn't get here by oil price drops alone. Putin is digging his own grave here, and by proxy, the Russian people's.
> So personally, I would go much further in my suggested response (but I'm not a politician): given the active subversion performed here, I would halt all sales and imports of VW products until they share all source code for their entire (US) range. That should serve as a better deterrent than fines IMHO.

Why not just require that for all cars? It seems a completely sensible policy. Just doing it after a manufacturer has been caught cheating is a reactionary view too.

Interesting idea.

I'm afraid it would cause us to follow their changes, which makes it a brittle strategy that would prevent us from innovating. We prefer people to adopt GitLab itself.
That's also assuming such things are being being done on a large scale. My point is that we've only had the capability to see such things recently, while the universe is really old.

I personally just don't like definitive statements when there's no way for us to know the whole story.
Agreed. Unless you're parked in a railroad yard for 10 hours waiting for an engine, like we were. Feels pretty vulnerable; not a place I'd choose to sleep normally.

I Googled this yesterday thinking the same thing, but the real increases in production came from Iraq (nearly doubling yearly output) and the extra US production. Saudi Arabia didn't seem to have any substantial change in production. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I found.

Politically, if Saudi Arabia can't be counted on to fix prices when faced with a threat like Russia and Ukraine, then why does the US keep them as an ally, since they're clearly involved with terrorism?
Then I am a hacker selling to "execs". Software is part of the solution. If I produce something and the competition can legally use it without in a way or another to give back. It's not a good enough investment. Maximising ROI, minimizing effort reminds of algorithm complexity. Big5 have interest to choose liberal license because it's defacto political standard. They basically don't care whether it's free or open from a economical stance. They are so massive that a little improvement in the internet economy will bring back to them revenue.

> you call it software if you're selling it to hackers.

Wrong. You just don't pick up any software you look at the ecosystem: are they contributors, how many release, downloads etc.. it's not just a problem of software. Most hacker I know don't look at the code to say whether a software is good or not, but instead take the "execs" stance of looking at the ecosystem and quickly processed metrics.

/me puts on pedant hat and mad engineer jacket:

Are you sure about this? The US is huge and has an enormous amount of uninhabited space. If we covered -say- the north-western quarter of Nevada in the best batteries available today, would that cover base and peaking power during slack production time for -say- the surrounding states?

/me removes pedant hat

(Do bear in mind that I feel both that anti-nuke hysteria is hugely damaging to the planning and deployment of new nuclear power plants in the US, and that it's fairly clear that of the currently available non-hydroelectric base-load generation tech, nuclear power is the only good option. [Though, solar power beamed down from orbit is a really intriguing idea.])

If I had to pick one outlandish conspiracy theory to believe, it would be that the Chernobyl disaster was not an accident. It seems unlikely that someone could accidentally engineer a reactor as ludicrously unsafe as Chernobyl, at the time it was built. And you couldn't plan a better PR move to turn people against nuclear power. Guess which large-ish economy is built on petrochemical exports?

But I'm ignoring Hanlon's Razor, of course.
