The alternative is to stop believing the west has all the answers and should impose them on the rest of the world, by force if necessary. We've been involved in countless wars, and few of them have resulted in the world being a better place to live.
Did you read what I linked, and the sub-linked https://devforums.apple.com/message/1009537#1009537 ? The way it's implemented is not relevant.
Nothing. However I want TB to be easy for non tech people like testers and support.
The issue is that you need to ship the license with binaries as well. When you work on systems like game consoles, this gets even more annoying because you can't just add some sidecart text file. You instead need to write up some UI page to show the licenses or reference some website that you keep online forever for people to visit. It's not the end of the worls, but a license that just requires comments in the source code is a bunch simpler to track (no need to collate them all into some user facing GUI).
Wow, that was intense.. Not sure if I'd call it hilarious, but damn, that was mind blowing. (Also, check out the related video about smart pipe, it's depressing how close to reality that is.)
I really don't like the Hollywood-style of describing the work on the fields: "But then, in another light, you see the tools of violence being carried into the fields: the steel crowbar, the ranga, for making holes in the earth, the axe with its bright and burnished edge, the cleft oak posts, the hoes, the hedge slashers – all the instruments with which management can be imposed. Cutting, controlling, slicing, hacking, killing: these are aspects of everyday existence". This is hardly a "Texas chainsaw massacre" pre/sequel.

Most of the people lack proper education. Everything "higher" as 4 school years is a "gift". The majority were children when WW2 broke out and saw their parents being striped of possession, such as lands. After the war came the communists, which did the same thing, again. These are people which have a deeply rooted passion for their ancestral land. The have, unfortunately, never learned to solve their problems in a civilized manner, because they haven't seen that in practice. They've mostly seen abuse and react the same way...

Yay, that's actually the right error. MAX_PATH in xnu (the OS X kernel) is 1024 so it's not unsurprising that things get weird when you have paths at least 1025 characters long as in his example.
No west does not have all the answers. But war will be with us no matter what.

Have you tried Freezer.js?

https://github.com/arqex/freezer

It is a global store that can be modified inside of the components safely, as if it was component's local state.

A change anywhere in the store will trigger an update event at the top of the store, notifying the rest of the app. So if you use a part of the freezer store as local state for your component, you'll get both requirements:

* Any change to the local state will rerender your component - ease of use.
* Your component's local state won't be hidden anymore. You will be able to access it from outside the component.

A message for the Paris attackers from BBC presenter Andrew Neil
Thank you for posting this, because it's something I've personally suspected for quite a while. If you want to destroy a counter movement or opposing political side/class, the best thing to do is to turn them against each other. Now notice how just before this whole privilege/safe spaces/other crap started, things like Occupy were pointing out income inequality and perhaps making a few people nervous...

I don't think it's a coincidence.
So, female genital mutilation, sex slavery and stoning are all just cultural differences to be ignored? On some occasions, the West has the answers.
Can you expand on details?

Also, why are you comparing App Engine (Platform as a Service) with AWS (Infrastructure as a Service)? Wouldn’t AWS vs. Google Compute Engine be a better comparison?
When it comes to the big money, cloud infrastructure providers aren't going to make much if they target the newbies. The folks with the money have the technical staff to begin with.

Well, fully autonomous AI-operated drones are inevitable. Remote operated drones can be jammed. Autonomous drones can't. I think AI programmers won't have even that much concern about kills.

Oh they have. They've observed that the people with the most power (legal or otherwise), force, or money get what they want.

They've observed that the only way to not lose their land is to stand on it with weapons and physically confront those who would take it away from them.
Unless you're a physicist yourself I don't see much value in asking physics questions. You'd probably get out more from any introductory text.

Ask him about his interests beside physics. Philosophy. Art. Whatever.

But most of all, don't pester him. If he seems receptive to those "big questions", great! If not, just do normal smalltalk.

It seems the Dynamixel servos they are using make up a main component of the cost. Does anyone have experience with cheaper/alternative servos? Could cheaper servos be used if better sensors on the joints are employed?
I think you misunderstand his point. He is saying that

1. if there is no free will then choices (and bad choices in particular) have to come from somewhere else.

2. that something is either unfortunate genetics or an unfortunate environment.

3. whichever of these is at fault should be fixed.
One issue here; what if the people working in the organisation already have too many things to work on and there's no one who feels they can take on this task?

Seems like the article and its title assume that a workplace necessarily has lulls between tasks (or perhaps more employees than there is work available). By assigning people tasks, you can at least tell them that their new job is more important than their current one, at least at this point in time.
> Companies don't need to go so far as the well-known Google 20 percent time

A bit of a digression here.

I love that people think the idea that letting employees spend a measly 20% of their time deciding what they should be working on is somehow an extreme idea. What portion of your typical day would you honestly say is devoted to solid, in-the-flow work? After all the meeting, context switches, random interruptions, lunch, distractions on company chat -- I personally would say a fraction. Or flow state is simply dead for me at the office.

Recently, my roommate and I came home after work and ended up knocking out a very useful skunkworks project in about 6 hours over the course of 2 nights. That completely uninterrupted time mixed with the fact that it was a project that was freshly conceived and still full of passion in our minds let us get more work done in that burst than we felt like we had in weeks.

20% time is a joke. We need to ditch this 40 hour, strictly scheduled workweek in distracting office environments and try some radically different ways of getting productivity boosts. It just so happens that people also feel a lot better when they get these boosts to boot. I know after knocking out that project certainly made me feel awesome.
Ask HN: Current state of the art in security vulnerability research?
Is there any cutting edge research on source code analysis one should be aware of? Particularly with respect to automated methods?

Alternately (to complement this), anything fresh in the area of compiled binary analysis?

I'm very interested in knowing of the research groups and developers with interesting and innovative projects in these areas - would appreciate any tips!

Thanks for your input.
You continue to completely ignore the difference between some group bringing a speaker on campus, and the school bringing in a commencement speaker. It's an extremely important difference.

This really depends on the organization you're working for. If you're in a competitive corporate environment with lots of pusing and shoving, your interpretation is probably correct. If you work in a place that has flat hierarchies and lots of employee autonomy, the original blog author is probably right.
Google and Apple have more cash sitting on the sidelines than they could put into R&D -- I don't see these buybacks as stifling innovation, it's more like putting money back into circulation.

There are no gaps between metric measures, especially not "very large" ones. It happens that people used to the metric system take full advantage of it by using decimals, whereas people raised using the imperial system don't. In the metric system you have much bigger units than with imperial, much smaller too and all the needed ones in between.

A good example is height. It is much more precise and easy to use the metric system to say I'm 1'87 meters than saying 5 feet 11 inches, which mixes units. If you want to be more precise you could say 1'871 in metric and 5 feet 11 inches and something like "a sixteenth of an inch" (sorry I'm not being accurate, I didn't even look up). Or human weight? Don't get me started with stone and pounds. A stone is something more than 6kg and a pound is about 400g or 0'4kg. Good luck with that.

The imperial system might have an aura of romanticism for those of you raised on countries that still use it, but the metric system is one of the most elegant solutions civilisation has invented. It works in every case better than any other system and it is easy to teach to kids. 10/10 would measure again ;)

I guess, after all there's a reason the international science community adopted the metric system.
> You end up hurting both wealthy investors and poor/middle class mortgaged-to-the-hilt homeowners who barely squeezed into the market.

You don't necessarily hurt anyone, you just lower the attractiveness of real estate as an asset class. The yield chasers will move their money into a more attractive asset class, the value investors who buy real estate for price stability or tax reasons would stick around with lower yields.

Well, that's one of the most archaic systems out there: http://gothamist.com/2015/07/28/subway_steampunk_video.php (Not the oldest, but using the oldest technology). If I understand it correctly, the only information available from the signalling system there is the rudimentary "there's something on this track segment now; it's up to the human controller to figure out what it is, where it came from and where it's headed."
I think there's a pretty big difference here. Social networks have never been a core competency for Google. They invented modern datacenter infrastructure and are still way ahead of everyone else with it.
Have you looked at VNC? It does exactly what you are describing. See: http://www.tightvnc.com/
Why would that behave any differently than just calling rm directly? find isn't somehow invoking rm with the inode, it's just passing the path to rm.
What feels right is mostly determined by what you grew up with. I grew up with the metric system, and imperial is basically meaningless to me, and I know people the other way round.

I would recommend this 22-part tutorial on async concepts:

http://krondo.com/?p=1209

It uses Python's Twisted framework. You don't need to use this for your development, but I would recommend working through and understanding the tutorial. Once you get the concepts, you'll be able to apply them to other libraries/concepts.
The reaction to food is related greatly to gut flora. It seems like they collected samples of feces but I'm not clear how much weight they gave to the role of microbiome in digestion.
It really depends on how far the physical confrontation goes. You can't farm the land from prison. That's the "best case", when they go to prison. If they're wounded, for example, and can't move, they become a burden for the remaining family members.

I do agree that they are filled with hopelessness with regards to the legal process of solving problems. This falls into the same abuse category of loosing their lands, with the exception that it's not by force, but by law...
I see that aswell especially since most services aren't in every region yet.
they mostly hang around the key regions.
Yes. I know about those. I am a software developer.

Buying an ultrabook/laptop just for continence seem a bit overkill to me. Those are not exactly cheap. But that is not the point. The point is how much untapped potential is there in existing systems. I think we should be trying to extract as much value from the existing set up, before buying more redundant stuff. We already have wireless keyboards and mouse. We just need an Lcd with bundled transmitter/reciever with enough bandwidth. Making It is quite trivial compared to the convenience it will provide. It might even be able to support multiple users. Put one desktop in your basement, and the whole family can use these dumb wireless terminals.

NO. You are misunderstanding my point. If we had no such high tech weapons (jets, drones, tanks), we'd be reduced to maintaining large armies, requiring service of fit males.

Wars don't happen because someone is right or wrong. Wars happens because of wealth and desire for wealth.
Thank you for your input, but I think it is unfortunate that people see it that way.
I can certainly agree with that, but the nuance that some words might have an impact while others won't (or shouldn't) was lost in your original statement that "If you are so weak that words hurt you, that the mere speaking of words makes you damaged, I am afraid that you need psychological help." It depends on the words.

Absolute statements are never right. ;)
The problem is that both Google Cloud and AWS have a much, much wider offer than Digital Ocean. This is the primary reason why DO can have a streamlined, simple interface while Google and Amazon need massive, opaque web dashboards.

I haven't used Google Cloud for long but it had a fairly nice UI actually. And they put their cloud SDK (command line tools) in the Ubuntu Partner repository which I appreciate, makes it almost as convenient as using OpenStack services.
Ha. I suppose there's a meta-law for referring to this law, too.
I do much the same, though in my case I would change it from 'weird "future" accounts' to 'weird future "accounts"'. I use a software package called You Need A Budget [1], which is essentially a virtual version of the old envelope system of budgeting. I'll create spending categories such as "new roof" or "2016 summer vacation" and then divide the expected cost by the number of months I expect will occur before the event.

Then, each month I toss that amount into that month's category. So, if I suspect I'll be replacing my roof in 3 years for about $10,000, then I will be adding $277.77 per month. Hopefully my estimation was correct and when I need to replace the roof, there's no financial stress since I'll have about $10,000 sitting in my "new roof" account.

That "account" though is virtual, not a real separate account. Though I do have a separate real account I'll use to hold high-dollar/long-term future savings. But that's just a little paranoia on my side, not wanting to keep all of my eggs in one basket, so to speak. It's just in case something weird happens, like an unauthorized ACH run on my checking account or my wife splits with the debit card and drains it completely on week long bender in Las Vegas. At least the larger value "accounts" or "envelopes" would be unaffected. So, the money set aside for items like a new roof, rebuild of deck, next car, etc., is safe and sound in their own separate savings account.

It works well for car repairs, which I recently confirmed. I always put $100 each month into my "car repairs" envelope. I went about 6 months with no significant repairs and then got hit by two repairs within two weeks for a total cost of about $470. I must admit I really enjoyed the lack of stress over the bill. I simply paid the man his money and drove away still having $130 in that category and it'll continue to increase by $100 per month.

The YouNeedABudget.com style of budgeting has immensely improved my financial situation. It's a Mac app with a companion iOS app, but a similar method is used by the good folks at everydollar.com [2]. Their app is web-based but they also have Android-based apps.

Well. This post meandered about a bit more than I had intended :)

Not to go all corporate but cloud offering has a lot of synergy with other Google projects. They already have this huge infrastructure, and bought a lot of fibre when it was cheap. Standardizing and renting it out only makes sense.

This looks really useful!

Isn't your Transduction the same as doing premap (or lmap from Profunctor)?
If I may, here is some of my protips:

- The best route up is hitching your wagon to your bosses wagon. So yes doing some of his work will make him look like a hero, which will get him promoted, and he'll think who is his most valuable / productive underling, which will get you promoted. Hopefully you doing some of his work free's up his time to be more productive in other areas. If your boss is a lazy PHB (Dilbert), get another job.

- It is far more difficult to try and get promoted around your boss. Don't try this, it doesn't work.

- Reward isn't always immediate. A previous manager of mine's advice was: You can't keep a good man down. Eventually someone will see the extra effort you put in and reward you for it, even if it is an ex colleage getting you hired at another company.
Sorry for another negative post. As a PM, the example stated seems a bit absurd and definitely not the environment for me.

A transparent and healthy company culture lets people (briefly) reason and talk about projects/strengths. There shouldn't be some sort of implicit beauty contest, rewarding aggressive employee who are underloaded.

There must be better ways to develop talent. The method listed also creates a lot of weird incentives/strategies if employees know what is going on.
> Then you get the unending list of side effects read aloud ("death" almost always one)

I think most of those rare side effects are not related to the drug at all. They just "happened" during the trials and they have to be included. At least in EU they are categorized by th frequency, so if the death is listed as 1 in 10000, I wouldn't consider it a side effect.

My understanding of the topic isn't great, but I think a more common definition of "cisgender" would be something like, "with gender matching the 'sex' they were 'assigned at birth'".

I don't think it's generally in terms of sexual attraction?

I think "cisgender" is at least mostly (maybe completely?) synonymous with "not transgender".

This is my understanding of the terminology, based mainly on tumblr posts probably.
Definitely, highly recommended book. Learned of it from Quammen's "Spillover"[0] (a great — if somewhat terrifying — book in its own right) mentioning it as a source in the AIDS chapter and it was a fantastic read.

Except when that business is in making plugins for popular software. At least, many people seem to base their businesses on making plugins. In fact, even making apps for a particular platform or operating system has this problem. The real question to ask is the likelihood of that foundation being lost on short notice. In this case, since the User Terms forbids building upon the platform, to do so would clearly be a bad idea without getting specific permission (possibly by offering a commission).
