I am a developer and pretty computer savvy, but I don't know the first thing about configuring a firewall and I suspect it would be pretty time consuming to even make an attempt at doing so. Regardless of what I did, I would not be confident that I actually blocked everything I needed to. This isn't a reasonable request of pretty much anyone except professional network administrators.

> While you can do the math, and get the right results, it does not necessarily make it real outside of the human brain.

Following this same logic, nothing is necessarily real outside of the human brain.

No experiment you can do, including simply observing human-scale events with your eyes, necessarily tells you anything about the "real" world. Everything that has ever been done in science amounts to doing the math and getting the right results.

This is a rift in the philosophy of science: is science telling us real things about the real world, or is it just producing models that happen to fit data generated from experiments?

I take the latter position, but rather than concluding from this that I should no longer use the term "the real world", I find it more useful to simply redefine "the real world" to be the set of models that are consistent with data generated from experiments. This means that if multiple models that explain the same phenomenon are all consistent with the data, all of the models are equally "real".

There is room for both practical as well as idealistic responses.

In this case, I'm picking my battle.
There is also the possibility of a mistake due to some subtle detail in the test methodology, which is also going down but remains the best explanation.

Nevertheless, at this point even discovering exotic mistakes in the tests are worth the relatively small investment, in that they will help design future experiments.

Yes, we have reached the point that it doesn't matter one whit about the EM Drive. There's something interesting here going on one way or the other. Either we have some weird breakthrough physics (still unlikely), or we're going to take our measurement game to the next level. Either way it's a win.
Yeah... I was expecting a drone to be weaving through a forest of trees. Not flying towards a single tree and maneuvering around it.

I'm sorry my question made you so upset, but I have seen several comments by you asserting nosh is superior to launchd, and that the NextBSD project is misguided, yet I haven't really seen much specifics, on those assertions. So I thought that because you would wrote...

> nosh is, by far, the single most masterfully architected and carefully researched toolkit for init, process management, supervision (also with auxiliary utilities for user mode VTs and UCSPI) out there at present, trailing only with s6. The FreeBSD community will do itself a great favor by adopting it over the NextBSD experiment.

You would have specific examples of nosh being a better init system than launchd.

I would also add that you didn't really address my question, you explained some deficiencies of launchd, but didn't explain how nosh address's those issues or how it avoids them.

Finally If you really wan't to advocate for nosh over launchd your best off not writing sentences like...

> Your question is cognitively devoid of meaning without giving a frame of reference, methodology, heuristic or other a priori anchor for me to be able to give you a reasonable comparison between two software architectures.

If nosh really is an improvement on launchd great! But petty verbal attacks are no way to get the FreeBSD community to adopt nosh.

That's a fair point, but you gotta start somewhere (if you have an interest and an inkling that is) or just give in and let them take what they want.

I started by configuring it to block everything by default and white listing the traffic I wanted to allow. Most systems will log dropped or anomalous traffic so its very easy to work out what traffic needs to be allowed when some new game's multiplayer features don't work as expected. And as an added bonus you learn a lot about networking at the same time, possibly opening up new career opportunities.

It might not be for everyone but if you value your privacy you owe it to yourself to explore your options. I suggest the Sophos UTM if you're just starting off, the UI is very friendly and helpful.

Why are you talking about 1995? Talking about 2005 is more relevant here.

> I disagree that the 4GB RAM cap is entirely arbitrary. Guess how many GiB of memory you can address with 32 bits? 4.

That's completely irrelevant. You could still simultaneously a lot of processes each taking up to 3 GB RAM individually. All that matters is that different processes and drivers could utilize whole installed physical memory range. 2.5-3.5GB limit was already an issue in Windows XP era, when computers started to commonly have 4GB or more. 32-bit Windows XP could have handled up to 64 GB RAM just fine.

> Then consider that Microsoft discovered that some drivers became unstable when addressing more than 4GiB of RAM.

I've heard this one often, but never seen any concrete examples of drivers with such problems. What are these drivers actually? What kind of bugs? Say DMA buffers? Well, if the developer was incompetent enough to set 4GB max DMA buffer bit for PCI[e] hardware that can't address 4GB+... All other memory buffers would have mapped behind 32-bit pointers anyways, regardless of where they actually are in physical memory. You seldom deal with direct mapping even in kernel mode drivers.

For example, how about drivers that use PASSIVE_LEVEL functions at DPC or higher? Should they not trigger IRQL is less than equal blue screen as well? Buggy drivers are buggy drivers, period.

> complain when their computers become extra-crashy

Why would their computers be extra crashy? Windows 2003 server versions worked just fine with very much the same drivers without any crashing. Why would Windows XP have been any different?

By the way, I have written Windows kernel mode drivers.

Not to mention the incessant drumbeat emanating from all major media organs, academia, popular culture, and other opinion-makers around the world that your identity is stained with evil, that you are responsible for the misfortunes of all peoples everywhere, that you are undeserving of having an identity and a country of your own, and you can only atone for your wickedness by endless prostration and disenfranchisement.
The "web economy" isn't solely digitized though. Sure you have things like, say, youtube, but you've also got Uber, Amazon, AirBnB, etc, companies that fundamentally rely on the internet and software but which have a big dependency on physical things.
Especially given that discovery on actual day one was so poor (no categories, no charts, limited features) that anything not featured was going to struggle a bit.

Not necessarily, it's just a dramatic expression of bewilderment. Besides the whole issue of whether Nader being a spoiler and costing Gore the election as a result is even factual [1][2] (or just another intriguing but ill-supported legend like that of the disparate perceptions of Nixon/JFK on TV and on radio), there is the problem of whether blaming the person subject to an inefficiency in FPTP is overly disproportionate relatively to blaming the FPTP inefficiency itself, or the person actually responsible for the military intervention. Blaming the spoiler strikes me as a compositional fallacy at best, ethically repugnant at worse. Hell, we could even make the case that the spoiler is a victim.

TechnolgyAdvice | Nashville, TN | Full time | REMOTE / ONSITE

About Us: We have a full JavaScript stack. React / Flux on the front-end, NodeJS-centric SOA on the back. We're independently profitable, solving awesome problems, and open-sourcing as many of those solutions as we can. Check those out on our Github (https://github.com/TechnologyAdvice) -- DevLab just hit the HN front page yesterday. We're growing by leaps and bounds and are passionate about cutting hours of research out of our friends' business technology decisions. We have a mature and productive dev culture, and get to spend most of our time working on entirely new, modern codebases, with super smart people on a team that's 50% coast-to-coast remote.

Senior Software Enginer (Front-end):

We're looking for engineers who are experienced with React and have a deep understanding of JavaScript. Perhaps you're doing React in your off hours, or are building React on top of an existing tech stack. At TA, you'll be able to work in React / Flux / Webpack full time. Our code base is only a few months old, so there's no need to worry about drowning in "mission-critical" legacy projects.

Apply Online: https://technologyadvice.applytojob.com/apply/DAZ3IB/Senior-...

Mid-to-Senior Software Engineers (Back-end):

We love passionate engineers. Applicants here should have a firm grasp of Node and Javascript in general, but we write microservices and use the best tool for the job, so knowing more outside of that ecosystem is heavily valued. We develop, test, and deploy in Docker, utilizing AWS for everything from hosting to message queues to our data warehouse. Our new microservices-based platform is still in its infancy, so we'd love to hear from architecturally-minded folks who love fresh design challenges.

Apply Online: https://technologyadvice.applytojob.com/apply/kPsEfJ/Senior-...

Product Owner/Project Manager:

We're growing like crazy and have hit the point where we need someone to help us manage a sane agile workflow. At the same time, we're launching a whole new industry-first project, and we're looking for a project manager who also has experience receiving feedback from customers and users both internal and external, and creating/prioritizing user stories for the team. Technical experience is appreciated -- we'd love a PM who understands microservices, messaging queues, and enough technobabble to glean statuses from engineer chatter without a lot of pausing for explanation.

The only possible way to verify anything is for someone to admit their membership in the KKK. Denial is confession in the eyes of many people, where politicians are concerned.

It plays on populist cynicism in a way that kind of makes it the ultimate form of blackmail or political slander. Anonymous can drop dox on any politician and the worse the accusations are, the more likely it is people will believe them.

And of course, "Anonymous" would never be affiliated with any political party or campaign...

We are looking for a mid-level and a senior-level Linux operations engineer/systems administrator with AWS experience and DevOps knowledge.

You, as the ideal candidate, have a strong aversion to manual work and avoided it in the past by automating using AWS, scripting, and tools such as jenkins. You have perhaps had full time gigs as a programmer, or have described yourself as a "full stack" developer. You track DevOps trends and buy into the culture. You have been motivated enough to learn things that weren't required by a previous employer. You are now looking for a "web scale" DevOps position!

React's assumption isn't actually true. DOM manipulation is fast - all modern browsers use a dirty-bit system where modifying the DOM is basically a few pointer swaps. Layout, however, is slow, and dirtying the DOM requires at least one layout as soon as control returns from JS. If you intersperse measure and modify calls, it's more.

However, what is true is that:

1. Both JS and the DOM are fast enough that you can lay out most reasonable pages within the threshold of visual perception (~150-200ms).

2. If you need to layout the page during an animation frame, you're hosed anyway. You have a frame budget of 16.67ms and layout will take 100ms+ on mobile.

And so the practical, qualitative conclusion is the same: you can use React for your basic page transformations & rendering, but you need to use CSS transforms and offload the work to the GPU if you want to have a prayer of making animations work on mobile. And React also protects you from completely fucking up performance (which is trivially easy with JQuery), so many real-world pages from inexperienced webdevs experience a very significant speedup.
That's just not true. Japan had extremely low inflation for 20 years, showing that the central bank wasn't expanding the money supply anywhere near fast enough. If the central bank really was increasing the money supply, but not real GDP, there would have to be inflation due to the velocity-of-money equation.

Japan's real problem has been a failure to deregulate the economy. It's essentially trapped in the 1970's, but without the inflationary crisis and political moment that produced the Thatcher and Reagan era reforms.
