It's amazing how in many jurisdictions, any claim by a woman against a man is accepted to be true. And many places assume women are so fragile that they need extra protection that would never be granted a man. This is what Feminism is about: special rights.
I am pretty frustrated by build processes of modern day applications. Wanted to give this a quick spin, but looking at the installation instructions all I see is compilers, optimizers, minifiers, interpreters, package managers, package-package managers, dependency systems and then, maybe then, you pray to your configuration-God that everything clicks together and runs on your system.

I was about to ask why isn't there a simple, unified build tool for ANYTHING, but I think that is what got us here in the first place...

I think the point is that if you're talking about finding malicious engine control activity, then talking about the number of lines of code for the entire car is irrelevant, because all that matters is the code for the engine control unit.
Hey, the 80186 was 8-bit, so maybe you were thinking of that?
I don't know if I agree with you.

For example, it's entirely possible he's talking about not building active reactors in lieu of passive ones...
Our company has been working on an Open Source IoT Integration Platform to connect services together into one single protocol that can be used to integrate devices and services together. Notice that it's an integration platform, not a platform for purely building devices on. It can be used for that, but it's primary purpose is integration.

You could provide an adapter API which translates Github-like requests to your API. If you want to use specific GitLab API features, developers use the "native" GitLab API.
The extent of damage and contamination certainly is human failure, mainly in accident response. My understanding is that the correct response to such a major loss of cooling on BWR is just to evacuate premises and do nothing (with the idea that the resulting excursion will obliterate the reactor but the dangerous fallout will remain inside the containment), the Fukushima operators tried to save the situation and thus made the impact worse.
Ahh I know where that came from.
The runners push the build results back to the coordinator (which is now included in gitlab).
So in theory, if you have a large number of runners and a very large number of concurrent builds, it could slow down gitlab a little bit.
But the numbers you need to reach this are pretty high.
So just to be clear: whatever you do with the keys generated by this service is trivially pwn-able by TinyCert.

Maybe you trust TinyCert not to be malicious. But do you think they're completely unhackable? A database full of private keys is a mighty tempting reward for attackers.

I wouldn't touch private-key-generation-as-a-service with a 10-foot pole.
For various reasons, in quantum mechanics, one typically excludes the observer from the system being modeled. This is obviously problematic, especially if you're doing large scale cosmology. But that's the measurement problem for you.

Regarding the context, the quote I'm thinking of comes from one of the essays in Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics, which is an enlightening read, both in terms of content and for its historical value. The issue, I think, is that the kind of 'conspiracy' implied by superdeterminist theories, wherein nature sort of guides our hand in picking certain experimental settings so as to hide information seems troubling to many scientists.

No, it's criticizing him for not being forthright about it. I think it's important for people to know whether or not their activity is helping financially support someone. I may specifically want to support the project maintainer, so I will try to remember to use their referral link later if I don't have the time to do it now. Or I may specifically not want to support the maintainer, so I will circumvent their referral link. Either way, my job is made a lot easier if the maintainer discloses that the link is a referral link.
> it's not just a problem of software.

I mean that "solution" is the pointy-haired boss way to say "software". The pointy-haired boss doesn't care how the problem is solved, just wants a solution. The hackers see the software itself as the fundamental thing, not some abstract buzzword "solution".

Another example: you may expand the "DRM" acronym as "digit rights management" if you think it's fundamentally about authors' rights or you expand it as "digital restrictions management" if you think it's fundamentally about user restrictions. Two different terms for the same thing.

My point here with these examples is that the only difference between "open source" and "free software" is how you're marketing the same software and the same licenses.
Does anyone already have experience with this? This sounds like an incredibly innovative approach.

Very well thought out. Yes, recommending one type of license for all open source projects is naive. Frameworks and libraries need a different type of license than 'application' type projects. If it's not a MIT/BSD or something similarly permissive, these types of projects will generally not get used as much. I need to be able to modify these things at will, without ever having to think about licenses, especially in the case of bugs or problems that I cannot wait for the community to solve (if they're even going in the direction I am). If I'm going to distribute copies of my app, the license choice becomes one of the definitive criteria points in my choice of framework or library. For 'apps,' it's a much less critical choice and it makes sense to have a license that encourages collaboration.

You can make a non-routable subnet if you need one by configuring a firewall/access list. Pretty much any router can do that. Plus you get way better granularity in controlling access - office-local subnet, DC-local, branch-local, country-local, whatever-local access - unlike venerable RFC1918.

But never use non-globally-unique addresses as other commentators suggest with wonky probabilistic allocations. There is absolutely zero benefits for that, and it will inevitably end up to be a huge PITA down the line. IPv6 used to have 6-to-6 NAT and site-local addresses, but sanity won, and both were dropped from the current slew of RFCs.

When I lived as a poor vagabond couch-surfer in China, I did almost 100% of my traveling by train.

I'm convinced there's no better way to travel.

When you travel by airplane, you're pretty much rapidly moving from huge city to huge city. You miss everything in-between, from the terrain to seeing how people outside of the cities live.

Even driving from one place to another, you're confined to the freeways. You see a little bit more, but you're still in this weird world which was built around the freeway.

When you travel by train, however, you follow the lay of the land. That takes you into some interesting, fascinating places. Combine that with the fact that you can get a sleeper car and food, and it's an entire experience, not just a rush to get from point A to point B. I spent most of my time reading and looking out the window. It's bliss.

It wasn't satirizing anything about the book. Militarism and fascism and propaganda and jingoism are all big enough to be satirized without having to pass them through Heinlein's filter first.

I must admit that I haven't made much of an attempt to evaluate the movie on its own merits, as it already started off on the wrong footing with me, due to the attempt to trick people into watching it by pretending to be something it was not. It might have been just fine as Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine. But they chose to wallpaper a licensed property over the facade instead.

As a film adaptation of a book, it is the least faithful interpretation I have ever seen. It wasn't even sci-fi. It was more like a World War II movie, except I couldn't actually tell if the humans were supposed to be the Axis, or the Allies, or a little of both.

“Most people suggest Apache”

Do you have metrics for that? I doubt your claim, given that the GPL is the most widely used license? GPL 2 and 3 and LGPL 2 and 3 alone are 40% of the licenses in the black duck stats: https://www.blackducksoftware.com/resources/data/top-20-open...

Share-Alike is the name which is easiest to understand. Copyleft is the historical name of the approach. Reciprocity is the concept.
True - none of our politicians are going to take on the gorilla. It would only hurt them and us. So if it wants the gorilla gets to set the rules for everyone else - vote or no vote.

You can do subdomains, but with only class 1 verification you are limited to one subdomain per cert and the root domain is also included.
Yes, that made me cringe as well.

I think wether such an approach works heavily depends on the kind of project (and as such shouldn't be posted as a general rule). For something relatively new and/or small it may work very well, but as soon as you reach a certain complexity it's unsustainable; at least if core components are involved.
> All future nuclear stations will add it to their massively long list of safety considerations

And then start ignoring them when it proves to expensive to consider them all. Or extend the lifetime of the plant beyond what is advisable, because shutting down a nuclear plant takes a long time and is as expensive as running one, but you don't get power out of it, so those in charge are very tempted to extend, extend, extend... like Fukushima.

First, they have to care. Second, they'd have to MITM your network connection. The chance of a single party being able to do both of those is very, very low.

Sure, it's not best practices. Is it better than what R&D teams are doing now? (Unvalidated self-signed certs, or no encryption at all.) Absolutely.

Why does there seem to be a media blackout about this? I don't expect to hear about it on CNN but I can't find a single news article about it from any tech journalism site.

Hacking, Doxing, DDOSing, being intolerant, bullying.

They are not expanding East. Coming from Iraq and moving into Deir Ez Zour and then Palmyra it's basically the Mosul - Beirut suggested route [1] via Google Maps. They are at the doors of Aleppo and expanding in the suburbs of Damascus as we speak.

>what else can be said in a Meditation course

A lot. Dharma talks can really accelerate progress and keep you from going down dead end paths.

Also, as simple as meditation is some basic instruction is helpful. Many times the instructions are needed just to explain how simple it is because it's easy to try and over complicate it.

Maybe they should show that clip from The Matrix where Neo keeps failing in martial arts and Morpheus simply says "Again."
> Please, please, please, do not use the WTFPL

I think it's a valid, personal choice.

If someone wants to make the point that they think licensing legalese sucks, and wants to license their work accordingly, then fair enough.

It's a little absurd that I shouldn't be able to, in plain words, express "This is my own work, and you can do whatever you want with it". Eg. I shouldn't need 'warranty disclaimer' to not be at risk of liability, unless I was explicitly providing some kind of guarantee in the first place. (It's just a bit of freely available software, hardly leaving a dangerous item out on the streets.)

Any legal system that leaves its citizens unable to be protected by simply using clear, plain and unambiguous language is failing in its duty to some extent, so I'm perfectly sympathetic to developers who choose "fuck that shit" as a personal preference. :)

I've taken the chicago-NY route he mentions in the story. He has no pix because its dark both ways. The eastbound leaves around late dinner time in CHC (no point eating before boarding) and arrives before lunch in NYC, and westbound leaves NYC in mid-late afternoon right before lunch hour and arrives around rush hour in CHC. Unless they've changed schedules again. So the time "cost" of taking the train isn't 12 hours vs 3 hour flight (+ 3 hours for security and boarding + an hour each side cab ride... wait suddenly the train isn't that slow after all) The cost of taking the train is you sleep aboard and lose like a quarter of a day of awake time, its nothing. And its a REALLY good working environment.

Three points of advice regarding the "expensive" sleeper car: You pay for food unless you get an expensive sleeper, in which case meals are free. Suddenly that room is not so expensive. A hotel out in the burbs or even in a recreational area is cheap, making the sleeper car look expensive; however I'm avoiding staying in NYC or CHC for a night, and hotel rooms downtown are very expensive, suddenly the sleeper is looking like a good deal. Finally the station in CHC and NYC is right downtown. I've gone to business meetings and training in CHC literally two minutes walk from the station, suddenly not paying for a cab to/from Ohare and pay parking for my car at the airport is making the sleeper car downright cheap... As a room a sleeper car is expensive, as a total systemic cost of the overall trip from home front door and back again, its probably cheaper to take the train with a sleeper cabin than to fly.
The problem is actually solved, see http://welz.org.za/notes/on-starting-daemons.html - it is just that people thesedays write flaky daemons which crash and want to have the init system restart services blindly - rather leave that to the monitoring tool which checks the service offered, so that we also notice if it is stuck in an infinite loop. Or even better, make crashes something to be eliminated, not papered over.

I have never seen Silicon Valley so willing to invest in companies that have well-understood financials showing they will probably always lose money.
I don't think groupon's demise has anything to do with investment in technology or otherwise. More, they sold local businesses on the idea of giving away deals on the basis that deal takers would become repeat customers. Small businesses soon learnt that deal takers never come back.

Althought a small sample size, I learnt this by talking to small businesses who used groupon. All of the them talked about entitled deal takers coming in and upsetting their business.

I felt a bit of that sentiment, but it didn't seem ham-handed. If you are interested in reading about nuclear accidents and the things we can learn from them, I highly suggest Atomic Accidents by James Mahaffey (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20820098-atomic-accident...). He's pro-nuclear, but acknowledges that there are still things to learn about safe containment. His focus is mainly, and rightly, on the unrelenting power of steam, and how a reactor going prompt critical can tear down even the strongest safety mechanisms when it causes a huge spike in pressure.
