Probably because it's theoretically inelegant. A lot of people are quite absolutist when it comes to security, and shun solutions that aren't entirely robust to all possible edge cases.

Yet in practice, tame(2) makes privilege dropping such a trivial activity that it will quite likely influence far more programmers than a more capable but also more grueling and complex mechanism like seccomp-bpf.

I have used Asana in the past - I think their technology (Luna, or whatever it is now called) is impressive but every single client I have now days is using Slack and I was forced to convert over - I know it is a different product but it integrates with Github, CircleCi, etc. so you can basically accomplish the same thing through integration (at least it seems that way)
How did you verify a buffer overflow in their remote code?
I support iFixit in their quest to get useful information about hardware to the masses. If you own a device, why shouldn't you be able to disassemble and repair it yourself? And why shouldn't we be able to know what's inside that device?

But releasing a teardown of the new Apple TV (and breaking NDA while doing so) is not doing that since, critically, the device is not available for purchase yet. I feel like this move is hiding behind "technology wants to be free and open" while actually making a grab for clicks and views.

You're not a martyr for the cause of freedom in this case. Nobody was attacking you. Apple was holding the sword and you fell on it. Had you just waited until the device was released, it would be a different story.

iFixit are making it really hard to be on their side.
Done. And I found and fixed the damn problem that was causing it to crash in the first place.

Sorry about that.
The US constitution in JSON
Yeah, it's really strange. All other medium to large German cities have sizeable commercial pedestrian zones, but Berlin has very few. The only ones I know inside Berlin are the shopping street Wilmersdorferstraße in Charlottenburg and the area from Alexanderplatz to Rathausstraße. There's also the Alt Spandau pedestrian zone as well as parts of Alt Tegel, but I don't think those belong to Berlin proper.
Those three circles swirling and flickering everywhere in the screen in the video were so distracting that I couldn't even follow what they were trying to say. I wish the video was much more straight-forward instead of being "mesmerizing".
I don't know how anybody can look at the bugs and fixes that continually plague .0 versions of Apple's OS software across their devices and jump at the chance to try it out. It now feels like you need to wait a minimum of 3 months before even considering installing a .0 (or .1 or .2) version of their software. It's a shame, too. I'm old enough to remember when Apple's OS was mostly rock-solid.
Taint checking offers a false sense of safety. Sure, data that originates in a request is unsafe, but does that means data retrieved from storage is safe?

The right thing to do is to move away from plain string concatenation/interpolation: don't build dynamic SQL, don't hack together strings into JavaScript or HTML - use smart, format-aware templating tools (like golang's HTML templates) and parameterization.
I was on site for 2 years, then have been remote for the past 3. Five years is the longest I've been at any job, and remote is what's kept me here.

But my salary is well below the $140K averages I'm seeing in SF. So hire me at $160K, I'll be on site for a while, then if it's all right with y'all, I'll go back and be with my family and my productivity will be even higher!

Everything's negotiable in this world. I can see why 20-somethings want to be in the big city and are willing to compromise on their living conditions. That's always been true. But there comes a time when you just can't do that any more.

Both seccomp and separation of privileged processes seem fairly straightforward under Rust. (The former would require some knowledge of the syscalls Rust wants to use internally; the latter just involves fork and setuid/setgid.)

Ah, yes, I guess you're right. I was thinking this wasn't just a switch for the whole process, but reading the examples again, I see that it is a switch for the whole process. So, it isn't as comparable to taint (which attaches to data, rather than the whole process) as I'd initially thought, except in the sense of being an automated method to prevent some kinds of stupid security mistakes.
I live in Detroit, own a 4bed/2bath and bike to work everyday for a mortgage that's less than 1/4 of the rent median SF 1br.

I opened this page just to write exactly the same words ... "I want to like it ...".

I've tried it at least five times, and every time I end up stopping. What's missing (IMHO) is a sense of hierarchy. Everything is the same size and common actions aren't much easier than uncommon ones, which I think leads to "page looks messy and difficult to focus on", and I agree "controls ... are way too small".
There's a PE firm based out of Austin called Vista Equity Partners that does this. Recently they purchased a tech company and moved their headquarters from San Diego to downtown Dallas. This is probably a great way (for the PE firm) to get high salary employees to quit and hire employees at the lower Dallas salary rates. Also probably a stealthy way for them to shed headcount without layoffs and without running the risk of ruining the culture and having the black mark of layoffs.

In Boulder itself houses are far from affordable (but also still far below Bay-area prices) due to growth restriction, but since Boulder is very small in terms of land area the surrounding towns are an easy commute compared to anywhere in the Bay area. And while the locals like to complain about getting scammed out of commuter rail, the existing bus mass transit to and from Denver and the suburbs along Highway 36 is really pretty decent (albeit expensive unless your company or company's tax district subsidizes the pass).

I mean, I like LA a lot better, but I think even that is too expensive, especially when you're getting hit with CA taxes. I moved to Tennessee. No income tax, friendly people, fewer NIMBYs and restrictive building policy, fewer feminist harpies, etc. Apparently many others have had the same idea, since people are streaming into the state from places like NY and CA. You'd be surprised how much tech is here as well. Unfortunately, winter is way worse and there are no real beaches, but you can always buy a plane ticket.
"Positive ratings post immediately; negative ratings are queued in a private inbox for 48 hours in case of disputes. If you haven’t registered for the site, and thus can’t contest those negative ratings, your profile only shows positive reviews."

So you can opt out by not having a cell phone number, the rest of us can opt out only of having "negative ratings" posted. For better or worse, aren't they disincentivizing their potential users from registering accounts with this policy? (I suppose they know their potential users better than I would.)
I have a new hypothesis that I may actually try out: it's the business people that should be in the Bay Area but the engineers can be elsewhere. A lot of the companies having a great deal of success are iterating on the business model, customer acquisition and user experience side of things far more so than on the technology or engineering. I am hypothesizing that it is those people that benefit from being in the Bay Area and that the builders can be elsewhere. In fact they might be better off elsewhere far from the echo chamber and framework-of-the-month cattle (and cost, of course).
Have you read through the facts of the case? Glossip did some things that indicated that he knew the victim was dead in the room. There was testimony from others that he was planning on leaving town immediately after being brought in for questioning. And the "hitman" had no real motive for killing the victim, but Glossip did, because of the $6000+ dollars that were missing from the motel over time.

There are far more convincing anti-death-penalty cases than this one.

How genetics is reshaping the marijuana industry
Yes, it should be.

The problem is that these findings do not reflect my anecdotal experience.

I have two recent measurements. About 500 km round trip and small trips inside the city.

This is accordingly about 17% and 21% increase (and it was in the same region for the older model of the same car).

Sorry, I did not include the make and model of the car because I do not want to leak too much personal information but it is nowhere close to the claimed difference.

Even more the round trip was mostly on the highway and included small city part (let say about 20 km). This differs from the official test cycle.

Also the city traffic includes high elevation differences and very bad slow traffic with constant stopping.

Also the car was more occupied in both cases (official tests consider about 70 kg driver and 7 kg luggage).

This means that in more fair test the results should be even more close to the official numbers.

So what could explain this?

I do not know as we do not see the fuel economy numbers.

Perhaps during the official tests the car is actually stationary and can not take enough air and the burning is not that efficient but a good exhaust filter hides this problem?

What is also strange is the difference between BMW 3rd series and 5th series because both use the same engines (and also some Renault models do use BMW engines but it do not know about Megane).

I calculated the fuel consumption and CO2 ratio for several models and it is about the same (as expected).

I also calculated weight to CO2 ratio for similar engines over few series and this gave also very similar results. As the different series look quite similar these days then I would assume that they also have quite similar aerodynamics.
Hell, I live in the peninsula and I ask for a $40k ($2k/mo after taxes) raise to cover the rent differential to move back to sf in order to be in the office 5 days per week and companies are taken aback.

um, have you been to sac? Given the choice, people (both founders of the companies & the best employees) would rather live in the bay area vs. sac. Hence the price difference.

Solution: buy a property in a lower CoL area and then rent it out to yourself. It helps if you establish a few shell and holding companies. Charge as much rent as you're paying in SF and then they can't lower your salary based on CoL because your CoL is still high. Win-win-win! ;-)

OTOH, hope is not the same thing as reality.

Some startups will exit successfully and yield really big payouts. Some startups will have modest exists, and equity will have some additional value, but nothing to write home about.

And some startups will fail.

If you are a capital investor in lots of startups, the small share where the first occurs have a good chance of being enough to make the average return good. But if you are a 20-something that's putting 3-7 years of labor into each swing at the startup piñata...
> I'm old enough to remember when Apple's OS was mostly rock-solid.

What OS are you talking about? OS X has always had buggy .0 releases. If anything it's gotten better over time, though I still agree with waiting for a .1 or .2.

If you mean Mac OS or earlier, then I wouldn't know. I was young and we always just kept whatever came on the computer.
I dont think its as bad as it sounds now. Oh btw my wife is Japanese, and were currently living in Yokohama. Now there is a taboo againt house from the early 80's(ill have to check with her for the exact date), as there were different building laws in relation to earthquakes.

Also a lot of the houses that are built with wood are undesirable -earthquakes, fire risk etc. We just rented a fairly good sized wooden apartment at quite a bit under market rates.

My point being there is a lot of new houses going up which are built to seemingly higher standards, which people want, conpared to say my Japabese grandparents house, which shakes if i move too quickly through it.

I do believe the trend is startibg to switch around though, as more houses become available in the "higher quality" bracket. (Note: i dont necessarily agree with the quality perceptions, im more of a case by case kind of guy).

One last thing someone mentioned about second hand cars: There really is a stigma, we had a mild argument about that the other day haha. I want a used card (around 4k aud), she wants a new one(12k aud). For shopping -.-

True, but that only matters if their conviction actually does get overturned, which is pretty rare. And even then, if you get exonerated after 30-40 years, most of the damage is already done.

I'm actually trying to disagree with the statement that the death penalty is more humane than life in prison. If you assume that's true, one consequence is that we should prefer to execute innocent people rather than imprison them for life. If you think that conclusion is absurd (like I do), then you should reconsider the original statement.
So instead of signing up for every imaginable libel suit by posting uncontested "negative" reviews, they're going to hold back a little, and just monetize my name and likeness without my permission.

A very common case is that people who vehemently disagree with outlawing Scientology also strongly believe vaccination is a good idea.

I disagree with outlawing Scientology or any other religion and I think that vaccination is a good idea. I am opposed to using the threat of force to compel people to take vaccines but they're still a very good idea.

Philosophically, I believe that governments should have minimal involvement with people's day to day lives. Therein the details can be convoluted and seemingly contradictory but I'm talking about philosophy and not the minutia of policy.

Not that I think it's perfect but I prefer the US's system of dealing with objectionable speech to that of most of Germany. For example, if someone wants to deny that the holocaust occurred, in Germany it's a crime but in the US, it's merely an etiquette faux pas. There, the authorities will be involved but here, the person's statements will be challenged and contradicted.

Want to walk around wearing a swastika tee shirt? That's perfectly legal but don't be surprised if people refuse to interact with you. You may be asked to leave any establishments you enter and things of that nature.

My first reaction after reading the paper was similar to yours. That I had fallen for the OOP hype train. Later when my boss cited it as an excuse to iterate our aging platform instead of attempting a redesign, my view of it began to change.

Now I feel bad for spending 50% of my income and still not living anywhere hip.
This hasn't been in the news in Sweden a lot, there is nothing "official" going on and I doubt that a fraction of a percent of those with a 40h week today will have anything else in a year or two. The headline (both in the source and here) should read "a couple of companies and public employers in Sweden are testing a 6-hour work day".

Nothing to see here.
Of course, that's not actually a bad thing if their remaining income is higher in absolute terms (or adjusted for non-rent cost of living) than it would be in other cities. The percentage income isn't really relevant on its own. I'd rather make $10m a year and spend 90% of it on rent than make $100k a year and spend 20% of it on rent.

And when you add in the subjective value of living in SF (which is small or perhaps slightly negative to me, but surely large for many people), it could still be a perfectly reasonable decision to live and work in SF.
