There are some really good design tracks on treehouse: http://teamtreehouse.com

Here are some other things I found:

Some organisation do just that. But having your entire site behind CDN does have additional benefits besides mitigating DDoS attacks. Such as allowing you to handle other kinds of service outages more effectively (eg busy pages). They can offer you analytics, allow you to separate different traffic under the same domain name (sometimes handy for SEO), etc. Some CDN providers also do some cool stuff like enable IPv6 on your site even if your origin servers are only running IPv4 - but that's more a niche time saving feature than some "must have" deal breaker.
This is the first time I hear of this discussion. That said, are we talking of applying a new law to a situation that has yet to pass sentencing? Then sure, a new law can be applied. If they have already passed sentencing then too little too late.
> I honestly don't even know which side it is that you think is "far more effective" at solving social problems.

...and I really hope that it was intentional. :)
Ahhh... Thanks, never knew that!
I'm baffled by this. I think what's happening is similar to the streetlight effect, also called a drunkard's search. We're focusing on the wrong problem.

The article claims SHA-1 is "increasingly vulnerable to potential collision attacks". Aka, theoretically vulnerable, not demonstrated yet. But there's all this frantic activity to fix this. For some reason it's interesting to a lot of people.

Here's why I'm confused. There have been very real, in the wild, documented MITM attacks against users due to malfeasance of certificate authorities, many of which are state actors. And yet, today, my copy of Firefox 43.0.1 still has a plethora of CAs it trusts (for all domains?). Including trusting known bad actors such as TÜRKTRUST.

I think that truly fixing the CA mess should be infinitely higher priority than worrying about SHA-1. Why doesn't my browser implement proper pinning for every site it visits? Okay, so Chrome pins some Google certificates. But 99% of the Internet is vulnerable to MITM and everybody just wrings their hands and promises eventual future fixes. Moxie Marlinspike has been calling attention to this for years.

But I don't follow the certificate pinning stuff carefully. Has the problem been solved? I've previously used Certificate Patrol, but that software had some serious limitations so I gave up on it.

Of course it's not (or rather, I would be surprised if it was), but he phrased
it in very wrong way.
My kids keep me up often enough during the night that I can quite easily doze off during a long meeting or after a big lunch for about 20 minutes. It makes a huge positive difference in my day.
Mfw this is actually valid C(99) syntax
Wow, thanks for this...I was literally in the middle of writing a CLI tool to fetch a URL and parse out metadata and was getting a little tired of the argparse route. I browsed the documentation and honestly can't say that I immediately grok the advantages but given who its author is, I'm more than happy to switch libraries in mid-coding :)
It's not just that. It happens always when a particular thing becomes of interest to the general population. Suddenly, domain-geeks are being swamped by normals who have little interest or experience in the domain itself, and they make stupid mistakes that sometimes end up being corrected with law.

Happened to programming too.

Of course it's possible. We reverted millennia of pedestrian centered city planning in a century; I'm sure we can figure out how to reverse the damage done to cities over a single century.

Hierarchical systems do NOT scale well. If you want to scale something it needs to be distributed and in human terms that means equality, action by consensus, local decision making. The properties of the system must emerge from the global rules.

It's in the Zeitgeist because people are coming to understand how monumentally stupid it is to continue operating in this horrific way - both in terms of overall efficiency and in terms of human suffering.
for NZ, the USA based companies signed a deal to film several multi million dollars movies there on the same week the NZ feds agreed to press charges and arrest Kim Dotcom. including the hobbit, which also donated a renovated international airport to the country (hobbit themed no less)

if you want to think the US industry most interested in the copyright law there moving all that money at the right time is just a coincidence, suit yourself.
to kill a mocking bird: it was refreshing, looking for more simple books like this one
Sorry, I wasn't really commenting on this exact situation in particular - more the general problem of enthusiast drones which is becoming quite a hot topic in my country (UK).

I'm sure they had insurance and I'm sure the pilot was competent!
I bet apple is more vocal on Tax reform too.
Depends on the mass, the momentum a drone carries, and how high it flies. Replace "drone" with "stone" and think again about the damage potential.
Maybe they could start by making Hangouts less of a PITA to use. I'm not a huge FB fan but they nailed it with messenger. It works nearly flawlessly even if I'm on my tablet, laptop, and phone. iMessage is still awesome but when I need to talk to my Android friends I more often than not reach for messenger because of the extra feature set.
This is unrelated, but maybe someone here has an answer: what is up with the cloudflare captchas? About half of the time I get served easy street-sign captchas which always works on the first try, but when the opposite happens I have taken to simply not visiting the web page. I often need about 20-30 tries to get through. My attention span rarely is that long, so I just end up not visiting those sites.

Is it the choice of the cloudflare client, or is it just cloudflare trying to make the internet hostile to the clients of my ISP?
To clarify these are airbags designed to protect you in a downhill crash (which are usually very violent for big alpine riders) but avalanche airbags that help you rise to the top of the stream of snow have been pretty standard equipment for the past ~5 years.
Pretty terrible data viz of everything I read this year: http://ruparel.co/book-viz/

TL:DR is I read too many comic books.
Taxes only go so far. Higher wealth elasticities of demand among those of higher income means less sensitivity to it, and the greater purchasing power means a lower opportunity cost to avoiding those taxes. Then, once the taxed income is retrieved, you must rely that the state apparatus will properly allocate it without pork-barreling, corrupting or shoving some omnibus legislation on transit until it finally becomes executive procedure.

This means that, at some point, all forms of taxation eventually boomerang and become regressive. Even when you introduce tax credits for lower income citizens, the bureaucratic and personal costs to managing them also tend to become regressive since third-parties will usually be paid for consulting and navigating across the labyrinthian tax code. This creates a situation where you open up for rent-seeking players whose business models depend on the aforementioned labyrinth, and who as a result get to redistribute income via wasteful inefficiency, lobbying and then offset the gains from tax credits by the losses of navigating them.

"Big government" inevitably leads either to totalitarianism, or to "kludgeocracy" as in the United States [1].

I had read zero books by April 2015.
Have read the following since then.

1. 1984 by Orwell

2. Animal Farm by Orwell

3. 40 Rules of Love by Elif Shafak

4. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

5. The Man in the high castle by Philip k Dic

6. Tuesdays with morrie by Mitch Albom

7. Broken Verses by Kamila Shamsie

8. The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell

9. Veronica Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho

10. The Little Prince by antoine saint exupery

11. A Monster calls by Patrick ness

Books that I am currently reading very very slowly ( 1-3 chapters per week )

1. The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking

2. The Wind Up Bird Chronicles by Murakami (I am really enjoying the slow reading here)

3. Zen and art of motorcycle by Robert Pirsig

Edit: Formatting

I read all these books this year too, except for Models.
In addition to what sister comments said, it's also a matter of your threat model. While SHA-1 might no longer be sufficient protection against targeted attacks by powerful attackers, it's still good enough to protect against a random person snooping on another random person on an open WiFi network.
This is so ridiculous. Zuckerberg keeps suggesting that he is doing something good, which everyone can transparently see is just an effort to make Facebook more popular! How disconnected from reality is he?
These are the ones I've liked best

Neal Thompson - "Driving with the Devil: Southern Moonshine, Detroit Wheels, and the Birth of NASCAR"

Dee Brown - "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee"

Nicholas Johnson - "Big Dead Place" - about living in Antartica

Mark Noll - "The Civil War as a Theological Crisis"

David Halberstam - "The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War"

Stanley Karnnow - "In Our Image: America's Empire in the Philippines"

Esmerelda Santiago - "When I was Puerto Rican"

Lara Pawson - "In the Name of the People" (about Angola)

Marc Benioff - "Behind the Cloud" (surprisingly good for a business book)

Keith Anderson - "The Digital Cathedral" (book a friend of mine wrote, hard to describe, but suprised me at how good it is)

Adam Hochschild - "King Leopold's Ghost" (how the Congo became a colony)

Jessica Livingston - "Founders at Work"

"The Singapore Story: The memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew" (a little dry / long at points, but otherwise very instructive)

"Listening spirituality, Vol. 1: Personal Spiritual Practices Among Friends" (a book about Quakerism that was surprisingly good)

Michael Fogus - "Functional Javascript"

David Shi - "The Simple Life: Plain Living and High Thinking in American Culture" (traces the historical movements in the U.S. that value "simplicity" as a virtue, this was an interesting way to look at history)

A.J. Swoboda and studies, "Blood Cries Out"	(recommended to me by someone I know who is in seminary, this is Pentacostal theologians writing about ecology)

Frank Moraes - "The Importance of Being Black" (an Indian journalist in the 60s who took a tour of Africa and wrote a book; his books are hard to find though)
He could start tumbling down the slope with all the momentum he had at the moment, break various bones and die. The guy was not standing still at the moment of the incident!
I read quite a few others that have been mentioned here, but I finally read two that hard sci-fi books that should appeal to the Hacker News crowd

Permutation City: People can run simulations of themselves or entirely migrate their consciousness into computer programs, but existence is often limited to the amount of computation that you can afford, leading to slow existences that stretch time into fractions of realtime. That premise had me hooked, but the book has fantastic thought provoking plot points throughout. Highly recommended.
http://www.amazon.com/Permutation-City-Novel-Greg-Egan/dp/15...

Blindsight: Amazing first alien encounter book that should be read by everyone that is a fan of the genre. Memorable cast of characters...the Vampires are really interesting. All kinds of introductory scientific concepts throughout. Entertaining and educational.

Meditations - Marcus Aurelius -- A fine classic I enjoyed.

Might count, might not, since it finished in March but was going on before. I loved Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality - Eliezer Yudkowsky - http://hpmor.com/

Loved Masters of Doom - David Kushner

I liked Worm - Wildbow - https://parahumans.wordpress.com/table-of-contents/ -- but it falls short of overall greatness and I don't think it's worth its 22-average-books length if I were to go back in time and decide on rereading...

Learn to Play Go: A Master's Guide to the Ultimate Game (Volume I) - Janice Kim -- I've been learning Go and thought this book was particularly excellent for beginners.

There are at least 4 other books I'm close to finishing and I might get one done before the end of the month... Volume 2 of the above Go series, Mythical Man-Month, A handbook of traditional living, or The Waking Dream.
Anecdotally, all the news in the U.S. I've heard around the athlete wearing the airbag was quite contradictory to the assertion that the airbag exacerbated the problem; the story was that it actually may have saved him from much greater injuries.
Yours isn't overly complex, it's one way to trim down an image. However, it is a lot more complicated than just defining 1 Dockerfile that at least copies in your package.json file separately to speed up future deploys that don't touch your packages.

I guess I just don't see the time vs. effort value in optimizing most smaller projects.

For example, that 75 gem project may take 5 minutes to build once but after that it takes 10 seconds to build and push a version that updates the app code.

I'm ok with this pattern for most of my projects because you can easily get by with 1 host to serve tens of thousands of requests a month on most typical projects. It's not like I'm spinning up and destroying dozens of instances a day where the network overhead is a legit concern (if I were, then I would optimize).
Yup. And the carnage created brought operator licensing, mandatory registration, mandatory & regulated insurance for personal liability in most states and a substantial traffic code + police to enforce said code.

Also tools become much easier. There are few good refactoring tools for C++ because the language is almost impossible to parse. In fact, even generating tags for vim/emacs is nearly impossible.
I did for the second half of the stay. Absolute lifesaver.
I'm feeling a lot of love for Pandas. Any (biology related) project I work on starts with multi-headered dataframes and ends in beautiful Seaborn graphs. In combination with Jupyter notebook I breeze through large data sets while leaving a perfect trail of what goes on in the data pipeline. Python is great.
How are you connecting to CloudFlare sites? Direct? VPN? Tor?
How about building the Designer UI kit, a kit with design already in mind
On the other hand, in my experience absolute equality can also result in stressful situations because of things like diffusion of responsibility and communication difficulties. Sometimes it's just more efficient to outsource decisions to decision makers rather than worryig about them yourself. I think the Goldilocks principle applies here.

Most schemes don't have a lot going for them in terms of libraries, which is the primary reason I'd want to go over to Common. I really don't like racket, for mostly aesthetic reasons. It seems a bit over complicated, trying to stuff a lot of cutting edge research into its core, and forcing you to learn about 6 different models at once just to understand what its documentation is saying. Its OO system is apparently lackluster, especially since most schemes fork tinyCLOS for OO, and syntax-case is too complicated for its benefits.

I'll stick with CHICKEN for now. Its module system may be a bit awkward at times, (you can't cleanly bind all your dependent modules into one executable), but it's much more minimal, and while its documentation may not be the best, at least I can understand what its saying.

Reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" was such a disappointment to me because I loved the movie so much. I would like to revisit it - maybe I would understand the parts about the empathy boxes and the wife's mood thing better now.
Santa's sleigh pulled by Boston Dynamic's Big Dog robot
I can vouch for two of these. I read "The Inner Game of Tennis" last year, because it was recommended to me. It is the kind of book that I would never pick up on my own based on the title. Luckily, the book contents has almost nothing to do with the title :)

Marie Kondo's book on tidying up is also of delightfully broader utility than the title implies. I just recently finished it - it is a surprisingly insightful book and a real pleasure to read. Highly recommended!

not exactly. the studios and distributors sue everyone, even YouTube. then the one that becomes market leader and gets all the eyeballs usually gets a deal for the lawsuits and the studios have them on a leash for cheaper advertising (remember that a Disney film will spend more on advertising than production over the course of its international release life)

That's because the losses are theoretical, meaning they don't exist in reality. You can't lose what you don't already have.

There is a difference between copy/paste and stealing. When stealing, scarcity is implicitly assumed and one party physically loses something they had. With copy/paste nothing is physically lost from either party and there is no scarcity.
You're probably thinking of the Whitehall Study[0]. There's a more recent study about how being the person at the top can be really stressful too[1].

> Other commercial flying objects are rigorously safety tested for their ability to remain in the air despite different mechanical failures.

The key phrase here is commercial. There are strict regulations on commercial aircraft, but there are no such requirements for home-built or kit built aircraft. (quick edit, there are regulations/requirements for all aircraft, but it's a much lower standard for home-builts than for commercial)

Many people think that there aren't many kit aircraft out there, but there's actually a huge number. Oshkosh is the largest airshow in the U.S. for experimental aircraft and there were over 10,000 experimental aircraft at the show last year. There's even more who didn't attend the show! For comparison, Delta Airlines operates about 800 aircraft.
> We can't change our baseline raw intelligence.

Hmm. I used to believe this until a book recommendation by Bill Gates no less opened my mind a little to the thought that intelligence isn't a fixed or capped (to any level most of us hit anyways) attribute.

I would strongly recommend at least a read of Gates' book review and at best purchasing a copy of the book and applying it. Certainly one of the best books I've read of late.

Economic Complexity is a bit weird as it only considers actual goods. For instance in the US, around 80% of the US works in a service providing job, and therefore are not considered as adding to economic complexity (that's most of us).

I don't really know how this ever gets wound back in, and would love if someone had an article on how it does. Just something to keep in mind though.

Grsecurity is a patch on Linux. The kernel. As far as I know this does nothing for a container unless your container host runs Alpine.
The issue I have with these kinds of narratives is they conflate structural and social/power hierarchies. People have spent alot of time rallying against the former thinking it's the latter. The two often correlate in the case of human organizations but are not equivalent. Structural hierarchy also seems to be an intractable problem. It's smarter to construct hierarchies that are more inclusive then to be categorically against the idea.
> whose sentences could have been affected

If the offense did not include firearms, deadly weapon, of sex offense enhancements, the inmate does not meet the "could have been affected" criteria. The same is true if there was no "good time" applied to the sentence at all.

If they cannot prove that an inmate's scheduled release date is incorrect, they would be released. The DOC does not have the power to hold an inmate beyond their release date.
