And the fact that if the military started slaughtering their own citizens with tanks and bombs, um that kinda might not be seen as too positive to the rest of the world.
It doesn't even have to be scaling. It will work just as well copying only from similar images (e.g., if this was a frame from a movie, they could use nearby frames to the same effect; or if it's a picture taken of the same thing from a different angle).
Also I think the autonomo fee is pretty crippling to entrepreneurs starting out, essentially you have to pay around 250 euros every month regardless of your income if you want to be freelance. It is so short sighted and means many people from different fields choose to conduct their business on the black market.
Enable two factor auth on your AWS account. Chances of fraud quickly approach zero unless your AWS API creds are leaked. You should always be using an IAM account that has only the privileges your application requires.
That's fine for internal functions, but a big problem when publishing any kind of interface. It's really nice to be able to extend an interface without breaking stuff or adding cruft.
So how would it hurt anybody exactly?
Duplication of effort and attack surface. Now, instead of worrying about just keeping Windows' crypto api secure, Microsoft would have to worry about libressl as well?

Long term, if this is truly a first-party supported SSHd, it makes sense.
I think it was one of those "typo" issues we see today that really screwed up the final output. Like a tired scribe (or translator I guess) who totally didn't write an entire word, and then when they copied it over to be printed (I'm not entirely sure the way they did it, but I imagine they handwrote it first) it totally missed a word, but that's just my own view, I never truly researched it. Would be tough to figure out how and why without some sort of journal(s) from the translators themselves.

Shareholders.
The troubles in northern Ireland suggest you can have a long term insurgency without losing a country. Of note it was not defeated with military power, but it was also failed in it's long term goals.

As such there is no cognitive dissonance as propping up a country is different from crushing all opposition.
When doing this in your own libraries, be sure to document how to generate the struct tag name from the typedef name. (MS don't do this - but they're not consistent about it anyway.) Then when people see a typedef'd struct used somewhere in a header, they'll know how to forward declare it in their own headers.
You're assuming representative democracy; there are other kinds of democratic systems. For example, the indecision could be easily resolved by referendum. Although I admit that general population tends to vote pretty conservatively in referendums.

> The average voter has to oppose people who are trained specialists in lying. I don't see how you could argue it's actually their preference.

People have to oppose these people in all areas of life. By having democracy, you actually distribute power more equally and using money to gain influence becomes more costly (its much cheaper to buy a senator than to influence people to vote certain way, and the latter poses much higher risk).

I don't think people are that stupid. I agree they can be temporarily confused by lack of information or fear, and that in representative democracy, there is a risk of the person lying. But that's a problem with that system, and there are many options how to prevent that. For example, in Switzerland, on some referendums, people can get a summary information with arguments for and against. And often the debate itself is very healthy.

It seems to me this argument is blaming the victim. In all other areas of life, we call out the liar. Whether or not you can tell it's a preference depends on the information you have. Say a girl decides to sleep with a ladies' man, and he breaks up with her afterwards. If she knew, maybe she wouldn't do it. But at the time, she expressed her preference.

> But at this moment in time, we have several important problems - like supergerms, climate change and depletion of fossil fuels

As far as I know (at least in U.S. and my country), based on various opinion polls and so on, general public is pretty positive towards solving these problems. It's the actual politicians who are reluctant to act.
A crypto system is a big and complex thing, subtle and quick to anger, and I can't blame Microsoft for wanting to concentrate on the one they're already supporting, instead of having to support two.

On the other hand, for the exact same reason, I expect OpenSSH probably isn't interested in supporting anything besides LibreSSL and maybe OpenSSL, at least while they're so closely related.
It's not just about security though, it's also about liability. Chip-and-pin may have different liability rules than have been established for signatures. If so, then a hacked chip-and-pin system may be no less secure for the consumer, but it may be much more costly.
No, what I mean is that there are genetic factors that aren't necessarily hereditary, or even hereditary but not within the immediate offspring. E.g. my son has the same birthmark as my mother but I don't. Same for a number of Mendelian trait diseases.

I am not questioning that IQ might well be a genetic factor, just wondering if there are any conclusive studies that it's directly inherited. Because the study you linked is very open-ended on this, and this has been core premise for the article discussed.
> But, that's arguing two points, right?

No?

> Sure, it's technically the right distinction, but it's not practical in any reality in which we live.

It's not practical to do by hand (because most people can't be arsed to configure their editor to do it, or their editor is incapable of it in the first place), why would it not be practical when a tool takes care of it for you and everybody uses that tool?

> Trying to say "alignment" is distinct from "indent" and that tabs and spaces can be mixed depending on your intention is just crazy talk.

And yet gofmt seems to work.

> The only place tabs should be used is in Makefiles, and Makefiles should be autogenerated by CMake these days, never written by hand.

Why? If the distinction between indentation and alignment can be made and can be made correctly, it means anyone can pick the tabwidth they prefer and things will just look right for everybody, that's strictly superior to either tabs or spaces. That's been advocated for decades, it just doesn't work when you leave it to people, which gofmt doesn't.

I'm quite far from a go fan, but achieving the ideal of "tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment" is definitely praiseworthy, whatever you think of other formatting rules.
It really is surprisingly bad, isn't it? I recently was involved in a continuous deployment system targeting Windows. We simply couldn't get WinRM to reliably upload fast and ended up installing SSH everywhere.
This, so much. The current "endpoint bindings" are really aggravating to deal with, the slow speed... I can't wait! :-)
I disagree - do they still lock you to their db? if they do then you are going to have to do a lot of work if you want to move to a different platform
From my reading of the article, a lot of the performance improvements come getting rid of the mutex in front of their hash based metadata cache by using a lock free hashing algo. These changes originally came from Oracle's MySQL 5.7 work[1]. Looks like MariaDB merged the lock-free hashing stuff into their version, and applied it to the table definition hash which also suffered from lock contention.

These are changes that all architectures can benefit from.

But as the article says, Vasalgel is not RISUG. They block it entirely. I have always wondered why she insisted on making a new product when the one in India had so much testing already. Just take that and start trials - animal trials at first if they must, but that had all been done before.
Yeah, in cases like this I refer to Scott Adams Dilbert (or rather one of the books).

"I get emails all the time from people who say they were -that- tech support guy that got -that- call about the cup holder. While we're on the subject of what people want in their email client, I want my email client to lock all those people in a room and force them to duke it out until there really is only -that one guy-."
> attention given to the work of Thomas Piketty, with serious questions raised about the relationship between his data, his theory and the political stance which motivates his work.

Yes, you see, there are ideologically-driven economists like Piketty, who have a political stance. Then there are are the fair, neutral, unbiased economists who disagree with Piketty, who are only motivated by the search for the truth.
Startup founders: How to get lucky
I imagine it's nothing more complicated than "OpenSSL isn't the native crypto implementation on Windows, SChannel is". Microsoft's engineers are probably much more familiar with SChannel, and they don't want to have to test/validate two crypto systems in parallel. Besides, this should make OpenSSH better in the long run; it should be able to have any compatible crypto layer underneath.
I have had really good luck with this open source, native windows, ssh server.

> It'd be even worse most likely, as US troops are gonna act much differently domestically and would almost certainly be much more reserved.

That's highly optimistic. I would say that history does not generally support the idea that militaries in general, or the US military in particular, are more reserved when dealing with a perceived internal existential threat than they are fighting overseas.

> Gonna be much harder to shoot potential enemies when they literally are your friends (taking a looser, FB-ish value of friendship).

That's one view. Another view is that its a lot easier to see the enemy as an intolerable foe against whom any means are justified when you don't see them as "loyally fighting for their country" the same as you, just on a different side, but instead as potentially fatally betraying your country.

I'd say the history of domestic armed conflicts (including the US Civil War) suggests that the latter effect is often at least as strong as the former.

One thing that would be nice would be to put the output of shell commands into a separate column from the prompt, with an ability to collapse or expand the output, outliner style. Modern computer displays have lots of extra real estate, there’s no reason to require everything to fit into a window 60 or 80 characters wide.
Your comment leads me to believe you're taking issue with the fact that weapons are made illegal, not with the actual buyback? If you agree that weapon category X (for argument's sake, let's say grenade launchers) should be made illegal, what reason would you have for opposing mandatory buyback of these now-illegal weapons? (The financial compensation in question was on average ~$550 per gun.)

Not just that, but database performance drops quickly with writes.

1M transactions per second with 100 % reads might as well mean 10K transactions per second with 95 % readsm 5 % writes ("the usual OLTP workload" per common wisdom) and 1K transactions per second on 50 % reads 50 % writes. Or even less. Or much more. It's difficult to even quess.
By that line of thinking all you need is some sticks not guns to get the ball rolling. Making guns irrelevant if your goal is to protect freedom.

But despite the apparent striking effects, doctors have cautioned against great expectations for the drug at this stage as there was no control group or placebo used in the study for comparison.

Turnover is pretty quick in the meth-using population. People only start meth because they don't have access to less awful shit. Actually I think this is why heroin use is increasing so rapidly in the Midwest right now: no one wants to end up like Uncle Mike the Meth-head.

The point is, with legal heroin, meth will be an ever-shrinking problem.
Out of the box OpenShift has a variety of languages and frameworks as well as ProstgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB database options (plus custom cartridges). You get three free gears (i.e. containers) so up to 3 small apps.

It's an interesting question, and one that has not been quantified yet. However, here are a couple of thougts:

- I think there's no doubt that the financial crisis and lack of jobs has led many to start their own companies (tech or not).

- Simply starting a business in Spain is not as hard as many portray it to be (it's definitely harder than in the UK, for example), but taxes, lack of stock option plans (most companies here use what's often referred to as phantom options) and, in general a not-entrepreneur-friendly mindset from many in society, can make it hard to grow and scale. That said, many relatively successful startups like CartoDB, Typeform or even peerTransfer and Alienvault follow the m.o. of building engineering teams here and move marketing and sales to the US.

- Spain's current government has passed several pro-entrepreneur laws that, in essence, are just PR moves. Except, maybe, the launch of a new and simple entrepreneur visa. [0]

- This significant increase in VC financing has yet to reflect the more than €1.5 billion of public money that's being poured into VCs and private equity firms to invest locally, trying to mimic Israel Yozma's. [1]

- Barcelona has many interesting public and private initiatives going, and the city's good image all around the world benefits it when it comes to recruiting foreign talent. [2]

- It's not all fine and dandy, and there're definitely some hard challenges for the country and startups to tackle over the next few years.

- Hopefully (what looks like) success stories such as Scytl, will spark the next generation of tech companies in Spain. [4]

This is an interesting, if rather flawed, blog post. From what I can see, he says this (skip bullet points if you have read it):

- Mathiness is truthiness, but in the way that putting down any mathematical symbols lends an air of intelligence and truth to an argument, for many people, especially those who don't or can't take the time to understand the argument logic.

- Then he explains how economics data are not as easy to construct with universal agreement as with, say, physics (temperature). Agreement on practical action is hard when contrary frames and interpretations appear valid.

- He then mentions how this might be a problem for defining capital and other constructs for Piketty, but without any useful argument beyond this assertion.

- He then contrasts Feynman's integrity, trying to disprove his own work to make it better, to economist George Stigler's rhetorical style of conviction, ignoring contrary arguments, and playing the polemicist.

- He then mentions Isaiah Berlin's distinction between foxes who know little about something , and hedgehogs who know one big thing.

All these are interesting frames by which to compare and contrast various things. Yet his analysis, after bringing in all these ideas, is just to say that economics needs both careful analysis and effective rhetoric. Well, duh, but how does this tie into all the great setups he's made so far?

And mathy people are good at neither rhetoric nor polemic? But surely, if you're afraid of these people, they would be a mathy person who is using rhetoric to undermine the real philosophy and logic that should - pace Plato - be informing the argument.

It's a post full of story and setup, but as yet, signifying nothing.

I've used OpenShift and it's pretty straightforward to use. I don't feel like it's as easy to use as Heroku, but it got the job done. If I left my app idle (I think for 24 hrs or more), I noticed that it took awhile for it to awake when I tried to access it again.
That is a valid concern. On the other hand, win32 has a strong developer community with 20+ years of legacy as the primary API of Windows. Now only if Microsoft hadn't try to screw its own developers by trying to push a new framework every 5 years.
There is quite reliable evidence that:

1) IQ "capacity" is genetic, and, as such, inherited. (Though its probably not a simple single trait, but a consequence of interactions of multiple traits.)

2) That actual IQ depends on both genetic capacity and a large number of environmental factors.
It seems like something happened, and they're not telling you what.

readonly means the property is immutable. It can't be changed after construction, period. "private set" suggests it can be changed at any time, but only privately.

Like I said, it's a small item, but if immutability is a primary concern to you during class design, then typing that "private set" constantly (or alternately, using a backing field) annoys you just a little bit multiple times a day. You're acutely aware of it and its workarounds.

Most devs, even most "advanced" devs, don't think about immutability that much. I would never dream of using this as some kind of hiring filter when hiring devs, it's too obscure. But if I'm on the other side of the interview chair, I find it useful to know if your top devs, the people you rely on to evaluate others, care about things like that.

OTOH, in practice, I think the question turned out to be not nearly as useful as some of the testing questions I've asked in the past.
You can have an idea, but getting it into production, especially if the entire design hinges around it, is an entirely different story.

With temperature we know what feeling each measurement corresponds to. When a politician ernestly does everything he can to raise the GDP per capita of his country often he is not aware of what real world consequences there will be. E.g. In China ten years ago everyone had motorbikes. Ten years later many families have cars but the roads are stuck in gigantic traffic jams and the the sky is covered in smog, and rivers covered in muck. GDP per capita and median incomes are going up, but is life getting better where people are getting more fulfilled and more contented?
