Funny, they didn't know the blue lights would have that effect when installed initially (the initial reason seems to be aesthetic); it was only after they were in use for a while, that an analysis revealed the decrease in rate.
There isn't too many features/bug fixes that I can do in less than one hour (even w/out distractions), so in my case it should be a 60 to 90 minutes session. Also, what I do to get me 'in the zone' is a ritual: close email/social apps. Silence phones. Close my eyes for a few seconds planning what I have to do. Start coding. Maybe you should find a way to implement guided rituals before the session starts? Just a thought.
I agree, and I see every day that PHP apps are not written with both these pitfalls and advantages in mind. Instead, most "foreign" PHP code I look at today is either made to look like it was designed for a Java app server or is so ineptly cobbled together that no apparent thoughts were invested into the structure at all.

I blame both of these on the messaging and marketing coming out of Zend and the surrounding ecosystem, namely that PHP is supposed to be a language where big applications are constructed with convoluted EE-like class trees, and that PHP is supposed to be a beginner's language. Both of these constitute an outright failure to recognize where its strengths and weaknesses lie, in my opinion, by the same people who are maintaining the language.

Agreed, but as we're reasoning about a post of DHH, an idiomatic Rails application doesn't carry any state worth thinking about from a request to another one. Exceptions are tiny bits of information stored in cookies (usually nothing more than the id of current user) and the database. PHP does the same.

The difference between PHP and application servers is that all its runtime environment is reloaded from scratch at every request. This is both a good and a bad thing.

The installer depends on functionality available within windows. In this case, the version.dll is loaded indirectly by windows or the installer dependencies.

The version.dll is a standard Microsoft DLL, just checked it here on a few systems and on Windows 7 it doesn't even appear to have been signed by Microsoft. Only starting in Windows 8 it has been signed.

The version.dll provides very standard functionality such as Win32 API call GetFileVersionInfoA. It is the same thing as what you see in Windows explorer by right-clicking a binary such as exe or DLL and display the version info in the properties tab page.

It is very commonly used functionality so lots of applications/installers will fall for this.
there's also linux/osx/.. pages; but I like the idea so here's some Powershell

If anyone from the community has any experience with this (either as an investor, a founder taking investing, or an employee taking options), I think it'd be great to share how you dealt with it (if you legally can discuss it).
You can add a section 0 to man pages for example (tldr) versions. Man also already supports rendering HTML if that is the preferred format that contributors want to write.

With a handful of commands i've got the tldr pages rendering in man:

mkdir /usr/local/share/man/man0/
pandoc -f markdown_github -t html https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tldr-pages/tldr/master/pages/common/tar.md > /usr/local/share/man/man0/tar.0.html
export MANPAGER="`which lynx` -stdin"
man 0 tar

tada.

We really shouldn't be rewriting tools and fragmenting community effort to fit a new feature that is already 90% implemented.

edit: one idea I do like is having content that is easy to contribute to, such as man pages, in separate repositories. Contributing to open source projects for content writers can often be intimidating - having a pure text separate man page repo that all the distro's use would be great.

It's still absolute domination of life[1] for the sake of aesthetics. It's not exactly inexplicable to be a bit unsettled by it or the mindset that leads to it.

Comparisons to other human activity are only going to make it seem comparatively innocuous and there's a gulf of difference between the relative and the absolute.

Marc Rotenberg is the lawyer who the author obtained comments from for this article.
> Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, has warned that the stranded-asset problem could threaten global financial stability if the “carbon budgets” implied by global and regional climate deals render worthless fossil-fuel reserves that oil companies’ balance sheets currently value at trillions of dollars. This environmental pressure is now interacting with technological progress, reducing prices for solar energy to near-parity with fossil fuels.

I'm very interested to see some medium term outlooks (10-30 year) from the oil industry recently. Anyone have any? The stranded assets problem is already starting to wreak havoc on utilities[1]. If we can only burn about half or less of what currently exist in reserves[2], why isn't there more chatter about it on the medium or long term?

However it is kind of hard to fudge suicide reports I guess.

I am strongly inclined to think this is the particular moderator culture with a strong sense of egoism and position rather than pursuit of constructive moderation; while maybe 95% of similar questions should be closed as "not constructive" this clearly is a useful and constructive question (the exact place where a moderator should be using good personal discretion!).

This kind of thing definitely turns me off stack-exchange sites -- especially I find that the sites aside from stack-overflow (which has a larger and perhaps more responsive user-base) are prone to terrible over-moderation and as well as very selective moderation.

I never said 'pursue belonging.'

You have to read the follow-up post to get a good description of why this won't work, but let me try.

The problem is that most clients currently are not able to build up multiple trust chains. They hand OpenSSL the certificates the remote server gave them, a pile of root certs, and say "tell me if you can build a trust chain". To remove SHA1 support, they'd have to inspect the returned trust chain and check whether any certs have SHA1 signatures. If they do, you'd fail outright, even though there may have been a perfectly good SHA2-only path available that OpenSSL didn't take, because there's no way to tell OpenSSL "try again but don't use this cert".

This means that we're telling the 97% of users with "modern" clients to force all TLS stacks to add support for new path building logic with arbitrary certificate avoidance in order to avoid the pain of the 3% of users who didn't get upgrades.

Note that I said "OpenSSL" here, but it actually applies to a wide range of TLS stacks: OpenSSL is just one of the more widely deployed ones.

The guy who used to run Georgetown Books, Andy Moursund, posted on his web site that he was tired of gambling his retirement money on losing bets. I wish these folks luck, but I remember quite a few used bookstores that have closed here over the last 30 years. Second Story Books does, by the way, sell on Amazon. But it has closed a location in Bethesda, and is down to its Dupont Circle store and the warehouse in Rockville.

On the other hand, upgrading that 3% of users often just isn't possible, while newer users who are upgrading to disable SHA1 support, can get this extra functionality at the same time.

Also, this feels like the kind of thing which might happen again -- worth trying to get backwards compatibility right.

I made a single-player "squash" pong in about an hour in HTML, CSS and Javascript but that's just the paddle and bouncing. The author has a very good point that could probably be rephrased like this: Making a complete end-user program may require quite lot of studying, planning, wrong choices, rewriting, testing etc. It takes time.
Unfortunately no, I still don't know what the app even does. Time to polish the UX! :)

As far as I see there are different clients available as options. You don't necessarily need npm but I don't know in what shape the clients are.

I like the idea. Maybe I will create a better Go client.
Oh if only that were possible. However, many people are using older OpenSSLs with no route to upgrading. For example, Ubuntu 14.04 is using OpenSSL 1.0.1 currently, and will not upgrade to any later release of OpenSSL. It's unlikely to get backported to earlier releases because it fundamentally changes the logic and API of that OpenSSL release (by requiring a whole slew of extra functions that affect cert chain building). This would mean anyone not using a bleeding-edge system is caught in this situation where they can't upgrade.

It's definitely an interesting idea to allow constraints to be set on what certificates can be used during chain construction, but the scope of the problem is very large: there are lots of fields in an X509 certificate, many with complex values that complex filtering may want to be done on. In principle this can be done using callbacks from OpenSSL, but because of the potential up-and-down nature of building these trees there will be a substantial amount of complexity in place.

And the reality is that backward compatibility is already right. OpenSSL, today, is backward compatible with SHA1 certs. The problem here is forward compatibility: making older SSL stacks meet the security requirements of the modern day, many years after they were written. That's hard, and may actually be impossible.

This is how I used to do it, but now I've come around to using --no-ff. The reason for this is that it allows easy visualization of the actual branch development without scrutinizing commit metadata. And it does so without any loss of linearity, because the second parent commit is already an ancestor of the first parent, therefore you have the property that the merge commit never has any conflict resolution in it, and you lose no git-bisect fidelity. The more I thought about it the more I found this to be win-win and changed my teams workflow a couple years ago.

Wow, so the important part that's not made clear in this headline is that the TSA recently (last week) asserted that it could deny people patdowns and require submission to body scans.

The article indicates that this is likely an untenable legal position, but it seems like that's the opinion of the lawyer rather than a court injunction or retraction by the TSA. Likely there needs to be more lawsuits before the policy is forced to change.

I don't think that it is generally a zero-sum competition, in the sense that every book purchased used means one not purchased new. Were I pinched for money, I might buy at friends of the library sales, I guess. But most of the books I buy used are either out of print or not easily ordered, and generally I wasn't thinking of buying them until I noticed them on the shelf.

And a fair bit of what is on the shelves of the regular bookstore is not by living authors, is it? Just about chest level of the rightmost shelf of fiction at Kramerbooks you will see about a foot of the works of Evelyn Waugh, who died about fifty years ago.

I had similar concerns, what new breed of superdocs are they hoping to create, considering that doctors before them certainly did have some level of meal preparation ability? But fortunately the article is more nuanced, i read it as "when general household skills are in decline, young doctors may be bottlenecked by that when talking about nutrition, some cooking classes might help".

I see that as a refreshing break from the usual pattern of naive "if there are numbers (no matter which) it must be true"-empirism that holds the medical profession in a stranglehold. (even the antiscientific alternative medicine people do most of their arguing by blowing numbers out of proportion, people rarely become doctors because they were particularly good at maths)

Originally the anti-vaccine idiocy had its roots in the far left. It's found a home in the extremes of both ends of the spectrum. Pro-2A belief is not necessarily an extreme viewpoint in and of itself, but you'll certainly not find it in the extreme left. You will, however, find it in the moderate left and most of the right.

There's certainly some overlap but to imply that you're "very sure" they're the same group would make you very wrong.
So the TL;DR would be "because we don't want to make changes on current clients, we break compatibility for old clients where we cannot make changes"?
