Risk assessments making bad assumptions is not a new thing.

People are always advocating egress filtering because "if only everybody would do it ...", but it's a classic tragedy of the commons. Egress filtering doesn't meaningfully help the network doing it and it may cause ugly problems with asymmetric routes and the like, so the number of networks that don't do it is large enough to be meaningful. And if you get close enough to the core of the internet it's basically impossible anyway because there is no practical way to keep track of which address ranges a particular interface should legitimately be sending traffic from when the list encompasses half the address ranges on the internet and can change at any time.

The upshot being it's not at all difficult for an attacker to get hold of a connection that doesn't do egress filtering, and that isn't ever going to change.
Fair points
In part because text formatted into many shorter lines is easier to read. The longer the line and the more space you need between lines. This is basic typography [1].

But that doesn't account for the white space on the top. I don't get that in my Firefox but I checked with Chromium and I see it. It's the advertising/social buttons banner. Once again adblockers win the day.

I'm trying to figure out what's so great about this app. Is it just that it's available on iOS and OSX?
The gameplay hasn't really "changed" much at all since its first release, it just keeps getting deeper and deeper (something something z-axis joke), so I don't really understand this complaint. It's the best interactive lore generator ever conceived and this release only adds to that.
It's very surprisingly granular. I logged dropped packets from my router's firewall for a week and looked up the origin locations with geoip for fun. Just plugging in the coordinates to google maps would zoom directly in on peoples' houses (sometimes in the middle of nowhere). I'm not sure it's 100% accurate, of course, but it sure seemed specific.

This is the kind of story that makes me think that when all human life will have disappeared from Earth, an alien civilization would be able to find artifacts of the world we live in by digging into still-running instances of Dwarf Fortress.

Amazing.
The Schräge Musik approach is also 'Keep It Simple' in contrast to the American over-complicate-it approach.

That term is also interesting as they considered jazz music to be 'queer'.

Ultimately though it was fuel that mattered. When the USA joined the war half way through it meant that Allied planes were on 100 octane petrol, meanwhile the Germans were using some glorified coal slurry and the Japanese were using some tree bark extract made by school kids.
They're great for this kind of reporting. Really bad at others where their biases come out, like Israeli-Palestinian reporting.
Get a new job. If you consistently job-hop, that establishes a pattern of behavior. Leaving one job one time can be explained by poor fit.
I worked for a chaebol in the U.S. (not Hyundai). I can attest to the two-week indoctrination session in the Korean countryside, never leaving before your boss, never ever contradicting a Korean manager, organizational structure modeled after the Korean military, the whole nine yards. It's brutal. I'm glad Hyundai are living up to their name (modern) and beginning to shed the old way of doing business.
At the very beginning of Zork you are wandering through the forest. At one point, after branching around for a while you hear a bird singing above.

If you say 'climb the tree' you read "You are about ten feet above the ground nestled among some large branches. The nearest branch above you is beyond your reach."

If you 'climb higher' you see "On the branch is a small birds nest. "

If you look in the nest, "In the bird's nest is a large egg encrusted with precious jewels, apparently scavenged somewhere by a childless songbird. The egg is covered with fine gold inlay and ornamented in lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl. Unlike most eggs, this one is hinged and has a delicate looking clasp holding it closed. The egg appears extremely fragile."

If you open the egg roughly, "There is a golden clockwork canary nestled in the egg. It seems to have recently had a bad experience. The mountings for its jewel-like eyes are empty, and its silver beak is crumpled. Through a cracked crystal window below its left wing you can see the remains of intricate machinery. It is not clear what result winding it would have, as the mainspring appears sprung."

If you wind it, "There is an unpleasant grinding noise from inside the canary."

If you open the egg gently, "The canary chirps, slightly off key, an aria from a forgotten opera.
From out of the greenery flies a lovely song bird. It perches on a limb just over your head and opens its beak to sing. As it does so, a beautiful brass bauble drops from its mouth, bounces off the top of your head, and lands glimmering in the grass. As the canary winds down, the song bird flies away."

When I found that as a 7 year old, sitting in the dark after everyone in my family had gone to bed, peering into the screen of my 286, I knew that text adventures are the only game worth making.
It's not really a matter of fault. If being a wrapper around C is a problem, it's a problem PHP designers made, for better or worse. That's not C's fault.

Purely out of curiosity, why are you opposed to websites knowing how many of their visitors are blocking ads? I get that you're against being tracked, but if they can't find out how their revenue is being affected, then how can they decide if a change in revenue source is necessary?
It's a really backwards way to customize a phone number on their site. They POST your geocode to their server and based on the city you're in change the area/country code. Quite a strange way to do it, but hey.
Well, for WWI there was a lot of volunteering.

> secure protection of Kazakhstan users when using coded access protocols to foreign Internet resources.

I guess "coded" here means VPN as well...

Wonder how other countries' embassies will be connecting if they block all the encrypted connections? Everything through a satellite connection presumably.
Thanks, I already know it. I was asking about a platform very specific for that, with no volunteering, charity, medical, startup fundraising etc. kind of things
I left the PHP community years ago, but...but...where is PHP 6? What was the reason to skip it?
Simple supply and demand: Sell commodity futures. If there really are huge influxes of an existing scarce resource on the horizon (the article mentions platinum), prices will drop.
DF is not a game like you might be thinking of a game, like Call of Duty, Warcraft, etc.

It's a distant grandfather of Minecraft, but complex and detailed in ways that make emacs look straightforward.

It's a lot of fun, but it's not a 'game'. :-)
Not going to lie, it took me a minute. Brilliant post haha
I stopped when I got to "According to Maxwell’s equations, blue is ripples of electromagnetism with a wavelength of between 450 and 495 nanometres."
easy to enforce inside the country. Just set it so that there's no https if you don't have the cert! It is becoming a legal requirement for all telcos in the country so even if you're roaming (with a data plan from a foreign provider, for example) - you're still using the local telcos.

Only way to avoid is to use some kind of foreign satellite internet or maybe private / non government / non telco dark fibre.
Peter seems a little too concrete for this type of project.
As far as your work is concerned, if you believe your code or design choices are valid, don't accept their corrections or suggestions so easily. Explain your choices and listen to them seriously. Let THEM convince you why you're in the wrong. Ask for clarifications and don't let them leave until you are fully convinced. Stand up for yourself, OP.
I don't know how you're reading that chart, but it's pretty clearly trending up, unless you're only looking at the past year or so of data points.
> As the critic Teju Cole puts it, power like theirs “supports brutal policies in the morning, founds charities in the afternoon, and receives awards in the evening”. And until that cycle changes, philanthropic initiatives can only go so far.
Wow. I see - at best - a random walk. A random walk where the noise is about 5 times the amplitude of any signal you might argue is there. I also see the mean tailing off the last three years to be lower than it was in '93. What do you see? I certainly don't see the "The Marshall Islands Are Disappearing". Is this some sort of Rorschach test that I'm failing?
This is why I choose Ubuntu.
no offense horrible idea. A local facebook group for reptiles in my city had a member do a gofundme to start her dream job of breeding reptiles and wanted like $10k to get all the startup and supplies.

myself and literally 5 other people in the group said "get a job" because it's not your peers job to fund your dreams. This idea is not the "American Dream" so I don't see how such an idea would ever pan out.
I can't say as I remember ever having a save get corrupted on me, though I suspect it must've happened to someone at some time.

Usually the bugs are strange, hilarious or both. For example, here are some issues that have been fixed:

Werebeast arrives, attacks livestock and dwarves but is not attacked by dwarves while in its werebeast form.
Necromancers afraid of/killed by their own undead
Dwarves with permanent injuries inevitably spiral into depression
Moody dwarves claim workshops outside their burrow, haul infinite number of items, never start construction
Lye in wood barrels can't be used for making soap
Haulers carry (heavy) full bin to pickup single item (lighter)
Happy thoughts do not affect stress levels; Dwarves slowly spiral into depression
Dwarf misses completely unrelated dwarf
Bogeymen attack elf/dwarf sites while sleeping in them
Brewing stack of >6 plants produces a stack of >30 booze, which doesn't fit in a barrel
Tantruming dwarves perform dozens of fistfights/throws in a second
DOES_NOT_EXIST does not remove creatures from embark list
Large grazers (elephants and giraffes) can't eat fast enough to keep from starving
I think that's right. Anecdotally as a user of Peach, the four biggest complaints I've had/heard are: 1) late delivery 2) food at wrong temperature when delivered 3) food doesn't taste good 4) people tired of the same menu options repeated too often
The original iPhone didn't have apps at all. In fact, Apple/Steve Jobs seemed reluctant to open that platform at all (they told people to write web apps). Perhaps the reality is that the Apple Watch doesn't need to be a 'platform'; I'm very happy with mine as an extension to the phone.
ESP8266 and RESTful API Based Internet of Things Platform
Many site stakeholders don't realize that they have choices. They can:
1) Choose to show only non-offensive ads.
2) Prompt users to whitelist their site.

You are in a good position to inform them of this. Please do.

There are good reasons people have to block ads.
The sad story of Môsom
Are there any stats or numbers on the number of companies converting to these kinds of policies? It would be interesting to see just how large or small this trend is.
I think it's mentioned in the commit on uBO: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/ba05804060ec7c4399c...

But basically making external calls to any outside site leaks information (metadata). Some people really don't want want to be tracked. period.
It's a decent (if roundabout) overview if you are interested in the subject but have managed to completely avoid learning or reading anything about consciousness thus far.
Does anyone know enough about how this game works internally to know if alternative interfaces and presentations are possible?

I'm blind, and have wanted to play this game ever since I heard of it years ago. I used to play console-based roguelikes, and while they were a bit slow to interact with, RLs were a refreshing tactical change from text-based IF.

Reading lots of DF stories would suggest that there's some sort of internal eventbus-style system by which the characters themselves interpret their surroundings, and if you could hook into that, you could describe the world textually to some extent. You might even add audio cues for certain events to increase the non-visual fidelity of the UI.

I see in some of the below comments that there's a text-based mode. Might give that a try to see if it's playable on the same scale as Nethack/Angband were for me.
Wow, I feel really sorry for all Kzakhstan citizens. Also, this is a great example of 'rubber-hose cryptoanalysis' - who cares about 4096 RSA or whatnot if the government can just beat you until you oblige...
"Good" simply means "unlikely to be reverted". The objective is to save time for editors.
I don't think so either. But, wasn't A Modest Proposal pretty short too?

Tor – Our first real donations campaign
I'd be interested in an explanation as to why sea level would rise more some places than others. It seems to me it should raise pretty much the same everywhere because gravity.
Also, and completely tangential to the point, I want to mention that Korean mobile-phone / meeting etiquette is very interesting. You don't leave the room to take a call. Instead, you turn toward the wall, lean over, say "yo bo sae o", and then hold a conversation that is audible to the rest of the room only as a series of quiet murmurs. I think Korean phonemes are somehow optimal for very quiet conversations like this. Maybe because there aren't very many, and they're pretty distinct from each other. I have no science to back that up.
Ads (FGL Ads, announced shutdown in a separate post 1 or 2 weeks ago, follows the shutdown ~a year ago of the former largest ad company in this space Mochimedia), in-game services (Gamersafe leaderboards, achievements etc), and distribution (Flash Game Distribution). The marketplace is the only thing staying up although it's massively declined too and now has 0 people working on it after layoffs a few weeks ago.
I definitely know that feeling. Prepare to leave is my best advice.

But I'd advise (depending on your circumstances of savings, chances of getting a new job soon etc) to not simply quit, but use a bit of time to really put yourself in a strong position to get a new job w/out the pressure of needing one.

if its a big company maybe you could transfer to a new team ?
I'm surprised it took this long. Wikipedia has what would seem to be an excellent and straightforwardly encoded set of training data: a constant stream of edits and reversions.
Setting up multiple databases in Rails: the definitive guide
Just make sure to get your ears cleaned regularly. Regular use of earplugs can cause a buildup of wax in your ears that really dampens your hearing.
Funnily, there is no PHP 6. While work had begun for this version, it was later abandoned due to some major issues regarding Unicode handling, as far as I know. Most of the features already implemented in PHP 6 were shipped in PHP 5.4 and they continued with PHP 7 in order to avoid confusion.
That is a brilliant quote.
Try normal Geo-IP (Maxmind) and it will show the local telco exchange.

I am sure the NSA does better but Kazakhstan? I have been inside one of their embassies to be shocked that they were watching the news on a black and white CRT TV!!!
Postmodernism was never alive in the sense to which the parent refers. Now that we've neatly rejected the premise of that comment, let's move on: nobody cares or knows about transmodernism, or any other literary movement (be it imaginary, as — in the case of transmodernism — or otherwise)

The days in which a movement could be dominant are long past us. That's sort of the point.

You can try latexmk, it does almost all of the work when building LaTeX (including getting cross-references right) and can even watch for changes and rebuild the document when necessary, updating your PDF reader too. Just calling _latexmk -pdf -silent -xelatex -pvc mydoc.tex_ should suffice (the -pvc option is for the continuous build and preview mode).
Russian Wikipedia Suspends Editor Who Cut Deal with Authorities
Maybe there's a diet-related problem? Astronaut food has some pretty intense constraints that Earth food doesn't, and has almost certainly been optimized according to the false discoveries of the field of nutrition. They should have a few people with different contrarian positions look over the food logs, and see if there's anything really wrong there.
Transmodernism isn't a literary movement, and no one needs to know what it is for it to become the dominant intellectual paradigm.
That's exactly it. One side has to give, but if you're a good developer and you're to the point of salary negotiation, you have a lot of leverage in this circumstance. In my opinion it makes more sense for an employer to give you an offer versus asking you how much you want. I say this diplomatically.
Microsoft Pushes Defend Trade Secrets Act 2015
I do not see either but you never know... stupid ideas like this sometimes have unexpected results
>Once upon a time money was power, or could be converted to it. Roman Consuls put personal wealth into political enterprises.

When was wealth never not power? Pretty sure that always and still is the case. Rather than serve in the senate (though some millionaires do of course - the senatorial class in the US is extremely wealthy compared to their constituents), the ultrawealthy just setup and donate to PACs as well as use their money to drive propaganda efforts (e.g. Rupert Murdoch). And then of course you have people like Peter Thiel who want to create an offshore libertarian paradise.

Also you would be surprised on how much can truly be spent on sex and entertainment. Multimillionaires go broke all the time due to drugs, partying, and overwhelming decadence.
You Can't Understand American Politics Without Reading This Study
Although not a top paid app for a side project my app is doing surprisingly well even outside the app store after I took it out recently.

The number one factor which he alluded to is which pricing strategy to follow. My app is not 70 but 9.99.

I too am using a time limited version and I am realizing that this isn't the best approach for my app either. So I am working towards something like what Sublime is doing.

One of the biggest learnings I have gotten from this experience is that an app is rarely a business and that the MAS is rarely a good distribution channel if you are doing something unique.

I could make at a minimum double as much as I am doing right now if i spent som more time on it (I will make around $50K the first year) and there is money to be made if you have something unique. Unfortunately thats hard to do on the MAS with Sandbox.

There's a slew of references ("further reading") listed at the bottom, some of them look like they are the source of at least some of these claims.
Well the main attraction is the stories it creates and what you create in game. So I'd say to play Craft the World if you want a DF-like with more direction to it, but DF itself is irreplaceable if you want to do things like attacking Hell with minecarts full of whales for the added mass (and therefore, momentum).

DF is more about the crazy stories that happen when you're, say, draining the ocean to set up those whale traps. Or building a roof over the world, pumping it full of magma, and rigging trapdoors to allow your Orbital Magma Cannon to fry any spot on the surface.
