NET Memory model and the volatile keyword (2010)
And I’d have to write a patchset and maintain it to get rid of it.

It’s as if my browser had a copy of Wolfenstein3D integrated.

Funny easteregg, but just a waste of development and testing time, and a waste of storage space.

Every line of code costs time and money in testing.

And here it costs me time every few days to fix new issues that were introduced when the code changed, to update my .patch, reapply it, recompile, repackage. Every few days. All the time.

And when the regression with Gtk3.14 -> 3.18 regarding Drag-and-Drop is still not fixed, but they have time and money to implement, test and bugfix this, sorry, but then I am seriously out of options for running a stable, customizable no-bullshit browser.

Your strategy misses one absolutely critical aspect of college: taking the knowledge you gain from those books and the internet and bouncing it around with a bunch of different people, some of whom are experts who are experienced at eliciting the kinds of connections that turn knowledge into wisdom. Higher education won't be obsolete until someone figures out a really good way to replace that.
Isn't the ISP/carrier ultimately responsible for mitigating these types of attacks? You rent a line and some IP addresses, not the garbage coming into their network.

I'd be interested to hear how Matthew Prince at Cloudflare would mitigate these NTP/SSDP amplification attacks.

While I agree they are a juicy target for nation states, without proof that claim rings hallow. Why would the NSA/Russians/Chinese want $6000 from Protonmail when all they'd have to do is use XKEYSCORE to filter out Protonmail users and hack computers to get the secret E-mail at layer 7. Shutting down the Protonmail doesn't help a nation state at all. They WANT to know who's sending/receiving encrypted E-mail. The second wave of the attack would be as simple as targeting the last few hops to protonmail. That's not rocket science. If extortion was the goal of a nation state, we'd all be broke.

This attack smells more of a sophisticated asshole blackhat haxor with some advanced tools and a knowledge of vulnerabilities in critical internet protocols.

I am an engineer working at Intel on SPDK, and I can answer any technical questions you might have.

Currently SPDK consists of a usermode NVMe (PCIe-attached SSD) driver. We will soon be releasing a usermode driver for the Intel I/OAT DMA engine (copy offload hardware) that is available on some server platforms.

I'll chime in with another "this is not my experience at all".

I use Spotlight religiously for the very reason that it's lightning fast for me. I've never had it index anything for me where it interrupted me even with multiple HDDs plugged into the Mac. Most of the time it only indexes after OS upgrades and I usually do those at night when it's not business critical. Same with iOS. I've never had issues.

Have you tried manually removing the index and then re-enabling it?

I'd like to hear the story of how the military deployed these fixes across the board in only a few days to ensure they had complete protection. Back in 2003, even auto-updates tended not to get installed/applied on large systems where there were complex admin rules about how updates should happen.

Only for a very tiny niche group of users. I'm part of that niche as well - but I recognize that most users love auto-updating things. They don't have to worry about updating, new features get pushed to them, etc. It's a great user experience for most people.

Only a small number of power users ever touch the settings/option menu of the software they use and fewer would ever see a reason to "downgrade" to a previous version - let alone know how to go about doing so.

Bulleit Rye, Dickel Rye, Redemption, Whistlepig, High West --- there's like 100 more, but those are the big names --- are all MGPI. You can buy whichever's cheapest; of the MGPIs, Templeton is the one I'd avoid, now that they've confirmed that they're not only quietly relabeling MGP, but also adulterating it.

> People have freedom of speech, not freedom from consequences.

This definition of a "right" is so loose as to be basically meaningless. Accordingly, I have the freedom to murder anyone, just not the freedom from its consequences. People in North Korea are free to speak whatever they want, but aren't free to remain living if the government doesn't like what they said.

If you make the other cliched argument that the first amendment only applies to government suppression of speech, that's true, but the US Constitution doesn't have a monopoly on what "freedom of expression" means. It's only a legal lower bound, and in one country.

Bottles I've really liked: Dailuane, GlenDronach, Aberlour (single sherry cask), Mortlach, Craigellachie. I had a sherried Highland Park that I liked somewhat, but smoke and sherry don't go well together for me.

I want to like Balvenie more than I do, if only because they're so fussy about barrels. Also from what I understand a more end-to-end vertically integrated operation than most of the other distilleries, which share malt processors and other inputs through their corporate ownership.

The Dailuane is, I think, mediocre as a whisky, but possibly the most drinkable carrier for sherry flavor on my shelf. I run out of and re-buy Dailuane and GlenDronach more than anything else.

I am just a major dork about liquor is all.
> What I said is true of (almost) any definition of "collectivist", including ctlby's.

No, your definition of collectivist is so expansive, everything fits. My reply is trying to communicate something to you, therefore my reply is collectivist (or else I don't understand your definition). But presuming I do understand, I reject your definition as being so broad as to be meaningless.

> I mean, show me one non-collectivist philosophy according to which is OK to kill human (except in unavoidable self-defense). There is no such thing - all of them are collectivist.

The Marquis de Sade had a philosophy. Since there is no God, whatever is, is right. And, hey, nature made man stronger than woman. Therefore man has the right to do to woman whatever he wants. I can't find any sane way to describe that philosophy as "collectivist", but de Sade lived out his philosophy to the extent of torturing women. (To my knowledge, he did not actually kill any, but certainly he was free to do so, according to his philosophy.)

Now, I will agree with you that collectivist philosophies (conventionally defined) are much more likely to say that it is OK to kill an individual, because those philosophies start from the group being important, and the individual not. (That's kind of the definition of collective.) From that starting point, it's really hard to find a way to stop short of "It's OK to kill an individual if it's for the good of the group."
Ask HN: How can I offer to work unpaid in order to get my foot in the door?
I know it sounds weird, but I can't figure out how to even get opportunity to interview.

So 10 months ago I started self-studying programming from C to Ruby to JS. And at the time I was under the impression that building out several applications and creating a portfolio site http://petehalloran.herokuapp.com that has many interactive projects, a blog and a social networking app this is the overview:https://youtu.be/-rqS7RoAQrk?t=37s they can try out would at least get me an interview or a response of some sort.

But now I realize(which is understandable), that they're too busy, and all they do is take a glance at my resume see no relevant experience and then throw out my resume. I know this because every company I applied for I spent hours look at their product and writing out a cover letter with links to github and videos of projects I have done that applies to the position.

So knowing that 1. Recruiters don't care about demonstrations of applications built 2. No matter what I write my resume will be an automatic rejection. I would like to know how can I in anyway get my foot in the door, I would try and apply for internships, but those are only for students, and once again my resume is a death blow.

Do you think if I send companies an email asking if I could somehow join and contribute?

Anyways I am not trying to shamelessly promote myself, I am just completely lost about how this all works but if you'd like a free Rails/Node developer let me know you can see some things I have done here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQAYWQM5y83SGLabPFunPOg
No, it's not relevant. When people say they want HKT, what they mean is that they want to create typeclasses that abstract over types of a higher kind and only those types, with a type system that can make those guarantees.

Saying C++ has HKT because it doesn't have typeclasses is like saying Python has all of Haskell's type system features because it doesn't have static types. There's a sort of vacuous sense in which it's true, but it's not a particularly meaningful or interesting thing to say.

The style bothered me as well, I could not tell if the was unconsciously projecting all of their internal conflict into the situation or if they were trying to write at a snark level that would be above the comprehension of some but not all readers. Either way it seemed the author was conflicted deeply about what they were trying to write (or perhaps not write)

'Hide' sounds like a really neat feature!
Obviously, I don't have any statistics, but I think over the years I saw a lot of outcries when there were visible changes in various applications.

So, I'm not sure it is really great experience for most people. Given that generally there is no way to roll back, I suppose most just learned to live with such things, whenever it's great for them or not so much.

I may have a wrong idea, but I perceive it as a culture where user is nearly powerless against the almighty Developers' will. I still haven't gave up on my own preferences, yet. Fear that future will break me, though.

Thanks for the link. For everyone's perusal:

WHAT DATA IS BEING COLLECTED AND WHY?

To deliver content, Firefox downloads all possible Tiles for your location and/or language and determines for itself what to display. Data is only collected to report on the performance of Tiles in Firefox. No data is collected to deliver the New Tab experience.

To report on the performance of these Tiles, Firefox reports back to Mozilla:

* Geo/Locale

* How many times a Tile is:

-- Displayed

-- Pinned

-- Clicked on

-- Blocked

The data is stored on a restricted access server for a maximum of 7 days, and then the IP address (the only data that would associate the Tile with an individual) is removed.

--------------

WHERE DOES MY DATA GO/GET SHARED?

Data is transmitted directly to Mozilla and only aggregate data is stored on Mozilla servers. Mozilla is sharing aggregate numbers with partners on the number of impressions, clicks, pins, and hides their own content received. The little data that suggested sites reports goes to a restricted access server located in the USA. This data is stripped of IP addresses within 7 days, meaning that no one can be identified. We retain this data for a maximum of 13 months.

Any data that is to be shared with a partner is this aggregated data on the number of impressions, clicks, pins, and hides their own content received.
