Are you serious? Absolutely not. Unless you can show that you are competent to modify safety critical software, and have a certified process in place to do that, it would be illegal for you to modify the code, and you would be personally liable for any accidents caused by such a modification.

You would also require the full lifecycle documentation to allow you to understand the impact of any modifications you make, and be required to do a full impact analysis to prove that any modifications you make do not reduce the integrity of the existing safety functions.

That's completely ignoring the vendor's configuration management requirements (which you can't do).

This the whole point - devices run by software systems are too complex to be modified by a layman. There are very detailed, statutory processes and requirements around the development and modification of software in safety critical applications, and you absolutely cannot modify it just because you bought it.

I am using Python to solve combinatorial problems, and so my code relies heavily on the itertools library.

My question is if I would still get a considerable speed-up if I rewrite some of my code in Cython, given my reliance on itertools?

All the sciences follow the scientific method. There's irreproducible papers in every field, this isn't a problem exclusive to Psychology. Also, Psychology is but one of the social sciences.
I live in France too, and all my friends have heard of it, and some even use it regurarly. I've used it several times, and the people I've travelled with came from all backgrounds, so I wouldn't say it is only for 'techies'. For passengers, it's a really cheap way of getting a ticket to somewhere, and for drivers, a way to pay their trip (gas, toll, etc.).
I don't think Japan's concern is that they themselves will attack a neighbour. Without beating around the bush, they are concerned with China reasserting its naval military presence as of late.
I would say exactly the opposite - Uber was mainly anglophone tourists, and not many people knew about it until the riots. BlaBlaCar has been extremely popular in student circles for a while
The author adresses this issue very eloquently: if your file system requires a Linux kernel newer than 4.0 to get decent performance, it is very hard to argue that it is "mature" and "production-ready".
Agreed on both counts.

I do wish that HR departments in Japanese megacorps actually gave a damn about matching undergraduate backgrounds to assignments though. So much waste there.
Yes that's true although I've lost count of the hours I've thrown out on Skype.

Yes IPv6 definitely FTW. We just migrated our office and two data centres to it. Life is good now. V6 firewalls are just packet filters; all our nets are in the public address space.
German here. There are TV ads, but i have no idea what Blablacar really is and know noone who uses it.
If it's carsharing, then there are plenty other players in the german market fighting for market share (basically every major car manufacturer has an offering).

edit: ok, it's more like private car sharing for longer destinations. There is a well known big website for that already for a long time ("Mitfahrzentrale") which i used a few times. But, blablacar would be only the second big offering in that sense. So there is some "space" in the market for that in Germany :)
Pick a stack, then choose an open source project in that stack to contribute to. You can start by contributing docs and tutorials, then try to understand the code base and fix small bugs. Work your way up to bugs and features with the most votes. That guarantees people are using your work, which managers appreciate. It also establishes authority in that software, which can lead to jobs if it's popular enough.
There is no chance in the world that you are even going to mine even a single block with this set up in a thousand years.

As a matter of fact even with a GPU rack it will take a hundred years or so given what you are up against by now.

Wait. Isn't that the browser¹ that requires you to use an online certification process to install even your own addons/developments, unless you're on a Nightly version and change a hidden setting? skims the article
Ah yeah, they avoid the subject by using Nightly anyway due to the changing API. Note that any build other than Nightly won't let you install unsigned extensions, period. Not by changing about:config values or in any way for form I'd know about.

①: Firefox fan forever. Since they decided that no, you are not allowed to install your own build of Vimperator/TST etc. without a signature from Mozilla, I'm looking for alternatives. Unfortunately there's no real competition, it's either Chrome or FF - and FF seems to move into directions I don't like.

I think you're confusing design with decoration. Which is what most engineers do, and why they should keep their hands of it, as well as the Dribbble pixel-pushers which do - as you say - "flashy and showy".
The problem is that most of my family and friends won't pay for a messaging app. Messaging apps are seen as something that is (always) free. So, the incentive to switch from Facebook Chat, Hangouts, or Whatsapp to Threema is near zero.

Although I haven't pushed any messaging app, at least some of my friends are on Telegram.
This is fascinating but I would be even more interested in actionable advice. Where is the ballance between being polite and ass kissing? Is the male / female difference in openness productive or contra? I understand that it greatly depends on the company culture, but as a non-native speaker and programmer (geek?) I usually struggle to decide how much information is appropriate in a sick day request and all my emails (up/dow/sideways) usually contain multiple "please" and "thanks". Do you know any "communication in office for geeks 101"?

Yeah no forced labor/torture camps exist today.
And people aren't put in them for their unpopular views such as atheism or satire.

And if a person wants to state something crude and obviously insensitive and get sent to a forced labour camp, it's their own God damn fault for being insensitive to the dear leader(s)

You don't get sent to a forced labour camp in civilised countries. You get ostracised, to be fair they probably deserved to be silenced because they are bigots.

I'm having difficulty parsing your second sentence. So, I'll say this: If you're a tech business and can't manage to cost-effectively manage the settings on your border equipment, you're doing something really wrong. :)
Yes and no.

Yes, it makes no sense to use them for real world.

No, they provide a comparable environment to compare different models and different OEMs.

It is the same difference like conformance testing and performance testing. A piece of software, a device, a system can be conform to a specification, but can have different performance in different situations.
Fourth Grade Math Practice Problems
No one said that raising money means success. BlaBlaCar is considered a big success for several years now, simply because the service is used and really appreciated by thousand of people.
The problem with the Python ecosystem is that there exist a lot of libraries for scientific computation mostly incompatible with each other (blaze, numpy, numba, numexpr, dask...). Some of them try to reintroduce types in order to compile to native code, thereby losing the advantages of dynamic typing. In short, it is a mess, and everyone is trying to add on this because the existing ecosystem is big and the cost of rewriting everything is deemed too high, so people try to fix python limitations at the library level, sometimes making python more cumbersome to write tha a conventional statically typed language (I am looking at theano).

I don't think that Lua is that much of an improvement, and I do not have big hopes for the JVM. The growing number of projects trying to improve the situation with value types, off-heap allocations and C compatibility are a sign that the VM is not suitable for scientific computing and will not be much better for a while.

I instead hope that Nim will take a leading role for scientific computation. It has an easy syntax and is flexible enough to write libraries such as numpy. At the same time it is fast and C compatibility is trivial. Of course, there is a library ecosystem to build, but I think that this is more doable than trying to work against the language itself. I am trying to start this effort with https://github.com/unicredit/linear-algebra but the road is very long and I hope it takes off.

I cannot really comment on Julia as I do not know it welll enough

Euphemism treadmill, ridiculous proliferation of personal pronouns, victim veto, persistent assault on works like The Mikado or Dante's Inferno. Anchor babies are a thing, Chinese pay 80K for exactly what the term implies, feds shut down places being used for birth tourism, but being true's not a defense when the goal's not offending. Careful language, what could be wrong with that? Well what's the opportunity cost, what's the upper limit on the cognitive burden on that? Relatively easy for people with college degrees and lots of time, great way to signal social superiority by being able to waste fucktons of time on intricate, piddling shit, just like aristocrats used to do with clothing and politeness rules. No cost to being polite, except for all those plays I guess you can't show anymore. Let's throw a fit about a kid wearing a fucking kimono, what's that, Japanese people don't even care? That's not important to me, this is the USA and I've got to show how not racist I am by calling other people racist. Oh shit, the little girl wearing the kimono is biracial and has a Japanese mom, well she looked white so when I started that shitstorm of hate against the family on Facebook and Twitter, at least I was raising awareness about cultural appropriation. She was white-looking anyway so she has white privilege. Cool story, political correctness isn't real.

In my experience, SMS and Hangouts are equally unreliable messaging protocols. Messages sent through either transport can be delayed for arbitrary lengths of time or lost entirely.

Everything that's happened with Hangouts that's unrelated to video calling just makes me so sad.

Don't worry, I'm just as furious as you are! I want realistic solutions though, and I don't think forcing vendors to open their source will fly.

For one, you will never force all vendors to comply, as some are completely outside of the jurisdiction, like China. Secondly, even if you did force vendors to comply, you've just given any new startup a massive leg-up on R&D, which the existing vendors discounted for them.

I don't think it's realistic, and there are already methods by which the code has to be reviewed externally, at least in principle. I want to improve the existing processes, not move to a new model.

I don't think so. There are plenty of car tuning enthusiasts that would find it very interesting to equip their cars with custom firmware.

The first time encountering a certain JS library's $.noop function bent my brain — "why would there be a function for not calling a function?"

Later, wisdom visited me and I realised the costs of `typeof isThisAFunction` and the savings of optimising out an empty function call in the first place.
As always Europe may be too much countries to make a generalization like that :)

At least in France it's well known, thanks to high-speed train prices and fuel & tolls costs for cars. It's even said to be a great company to work for (minus their ridiculous name).

I think the parent's estimate is a little high, but here's what I know. w2 employers are responsible for

- 6.2% SS + 1.45% medicare fica taxes

- health insurance, of which the employer's share can easily run $1k/mo for a couple in their 30s

- 1.5% payroll tax if in sf, or 0.34% payroll tax for mta in nyc;

so if someone makes $100k in sf, the employer pays

(1.0 + 0.0765 fica + 0.015 city payroll tax) * 100k
+ 12*1k health insurance
+ 12 * $1200 monthly rent
+ 12 * $100 snacks/office supplies
+ maybe $500/year for unemployment insurance and various other fees

totaling (1.0765 + 0.015) * 1e5 + 12*(1e3 + 1.2e3 + 100) + 500 = $137k. That doesn't include any activities, hardware, or meals. If you buy lunch, a former employer budgeted $14 per person day, so assuming 250 work days = $3500/year

Why not use TextSecure/Signal? It's now available on iOS and Android, is open source and encrypted by default.

I've tried Telegram, but only 1-on-1-chats could be encrypted, and also only optional.
We've been using qTox for quite sometime. Pretty stable for an alpha release. The only feature lacking is the non-persistent groups and group chats.
As you say, I'd prefer to run this sort of thing locally - half the point of running your own CA is that you have full control over it.

I wrote caman (https://github.com/radiac/caman), a bash script wrapper for openssl with what looks like a similar syntax to etcd-ca. I posted about it on HN a while back, but it now also supports SAN certificates and intermediate CAs.
Deploying Python WSGI Web Apps with Matt Makai from Full Stack Python
It's practical, but on the other hand, that goes against the security practice of not allowing the executable zone (be it memory or filesystem) to be writeable.

I personally prefer to precompile stuff, even running "python -m compileall" to create .pyc files, to avoid having to keep that path writeable by the user running the program.
>While republicans are pretty much cancer, the left seems growing incapable of dealing with reality,because it might offend someone

I'm the sort of person who thinks Nixon was a better president than JFK. The Republicans could field a decent president if they 1. recognized what a spectacular embarrassment and failure GWB was, and that we're not going to elect anyone who is remotely connected to him, and 2. quit letting the crazy wing of their party run things. I mean, there are crazies on both sides, but when it comes time to elect a president, you pick a centrist you think might be acceptable to the other side, too.

But that aside, yeah, I just don't see how asking you to use one word instead of another to describe a person or a group makes you gagged or incapable of dealing with reality.
I don't know about bullying... maybe? I certainly was ridiculing the viewpoint that political correctness has gone overboard.

I personally think ridicule is the right response to that sort of complaint.

My intent was to ridicule the idea, though, not the previous poster. Especially considering how the previous poster framed it as "some people think..." which is a less personal, and I think better way of arguing. I think my personal anecdotes (for example, where I mentioned that I work in an industry where I get a large advantage for being white and male) are a weakness of my debate style; they tend to make debates more personal, more emotional and, in my opinion, less interesting.

I would argue that ridicule is different from bullying, especially when that ridicule is directed at an idea rather than at a person.

But... I could also see how you could make the argument that ridiculing an idea is ridiculing the people who hold that idea. And ridiculing a person is certainly a component of bullying. So maybe it was bullying? But I also think of Bullying as a pattern of abuse directed towards a particular person, and I'm certainly not doing that

I do have plenty of friends who are openly racist and/or sexist, and while I do ridicule their ideas (and yes, to their faces, I'm not afraid to call people out.) they're still friends, so make of that what you will.

This is not about climate change. The main climate change contributor from emissions is CO2 - which relates 1:1 to fuel consumption (and how could it be otherwise). Fuel consumption is hard to fake and is tested independently all the time.

What this is about is particulates and NO and NO2 - which aren't a significant contributor to climate change, but have detrimental effects such as emphysema or bronchitis in humans, acid rain or creation of surface ozone that damages lungs.
Don't get me wrong, I'm the last person to defend the overuse of software patents. Where people are genuinely creating extremely complex functionality in software however, I think they deserve some protection for their outlay.

On your point about historically owning vehicles, as a software developer you will understand that there is a very wide gap in competence between being able to tune a standard motor, and being able to inspect and modify software that controls a car safely. Currently this is protected so that only the vendor can change it, precisely because that's how we wrote the standards - vendors are responsible for their code, and responsible for the safety outcomes on the road.

If we moved to an open model where anyone could modify the software in their car - what do you think would happen to the safety and reliability of that software? I don't think any of us could imagine that it would improve.
Details how Volkswagen was caught cheating on the emissions test
Yes aware of that. There are some gotchas with that, particularly address space collision between two sites with a tunnel between them. I've never seen one in v6 but one of our clients had a 10.0.0.0/8 and so did we and I don't want to get into that state of affairs again. I'd only use that for totally airgapped networks.
France’s First FinTech exit, Leetchi acquired in a deal valued at €50M+
Well, in a free market the possibility of a big player to poach the core of a company would be priced in by the investor. I'd expect to see a lot less equity and a lot more debt-like VC deals at vastly lower valuations.
I'm surprised by these numbers. 60m monthly actives generating 12bn messages per day. So on average each active user sends 200 messages every day. That seems astoundingly high. Can someone more familiar with engagement metrics for this type of service comment?
Why? Group chats aren't encrypted. What's the advantage?
Here's an example of the "political correct police" - Twitter shaming. Somebody says something satirical and they are assigned a "label". This was the case with Justine Sacco. Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock refuse to perform at universities, citing that the students there "can't take a joke due to political correctness". There isn't a regulating force in the USA for being PC; however, there are social ramifications that lead to real life consequences.
