What does "UseRoaming" do?

http://linux.die.net/man/5/ssh_config contains no mention of it, and DDG hits a reddit thread of 2014 asking the same thing (and giving an indication that it was also subject to another vuln) and they stated that it was added undocumented but "it does nothing yet"...

I found a commit message saying "Request roaming to be enabled if UseRoaming is true and the server supports it." So in addition, what is "request roaming"?
Do whois on ip address, there are addresses that belong to data centers, so between that an manually compiling a list of netmasks belonging to various proxy providers you can get something going. Not without failure I guess.
is there a way to move off oil quickly?
Note that they're sharing this dataset only with *.edu, which is unfortunate for the rest of us. I wish they would allow access to a fraction of the dataset, e.g. 5% of records, for the rest of the community.
At the moment, network switching and routing with open source products + commodity servers can't scale like Cisco and Juniper...if you want to have a fairly standard network (OSPF, BGP, etc).

Google, for example, is able to use commodity hardware because what they are routing works with a non-traditional setup...specifically a Clos network. That works for them only because their app is designed in a way that it can served up like that. It would not work for the typical kinds of traffic that you see at a normal company.

At a certain scale, barring unusual exceptions, you really do have to go with someone like Juniper/Cisco, as the ASIC based acceleration and other features aren't there in the commodity world.

There's certainly some things in progress that may change all of that, like Intel's DPDK, QuickAssist, etc.
Do you think it's strictly that they want walled gardens? I have a feeling more large companies would support open protocols if they provided the features they needed with the efficiency to provide those services cost (and battery) effectively. It seems all the many open protocols (XMPP, Web and CalDav, etc.) are simply not efficient or feature rich enough for companies that are in a constant features escalation war with competitors.
It's very important for them to learn and to get feedback from them. But very often the flaw is in how you do this.

One on one feedback is good. But make sure this is about them, and is not some performance review. Make it a safe place for them to bring up problems with the company.

Learning is good. But only learn things that help them. This can be one of the most hated things in an organization, when a manager sends them for training if there's work to be done. A lot of people like Google's 20% time, but I find it a distraction.

Bottom line: help them be productive. Productive engineers = happy engineers

Reuters may be botching up terminology. Perhaps Netflix closing the door on regional workarounds using DNS redirects. Failing that, Netflix may block service to IP subsets owned by popular Proxy services only. If you set up a proxy using your own machine or a smaller service, it may still work.
Your cynicism is completely unhelpful and unwarranted.

If you think the practitioners are being hypocritical or untruthful, say so directly and point to documented instances.

If you think the practice useless, explain why.

Nobody is helped by mindlessly casting aspersions like this.
Ummm.

Emacs has extensive preference setting functionality. There's lots of fine-grained configuration you can do, including themes, colors and fonts, without writing a line of elisp.

That said, elisp is fun to learn, no harder than JavaScript, and you can get pretty far customizing Emacs knowing just the basics.

HN has gone downhill since they let all the squibs and muggles in.
Yep, and this is why stuff like this should have a formal opt-in process.
Why do media companies block entire countries? Selling an apple to someone in Ireland is the same profit as selling to an American, yes?
And differentiation, which is useful for functional update of persistent data structures. https://chris-taylor.github.io/blog/2013/02/13/the-algebra-o...
The only criticism I could have of Linux filesystems is that user mounted devices show up in /run?/media/<user>/<device> rather than ~/media/<device>. Otherwise everything a user does or makes is showing up under ~ somewhere, and the superuser's stuff resides in a mix of /etc, /root, and /usr.

Well, I'll take that back, the fact the config folder is hidden by default is also kind of sucky, and the habit of some software putting configuration data in ~/.local/share and some applications putting non-config data in ~/.config is extremely annoying but should be solved on a per-application basis.

Just a few offenders on my desktop in config:

* Chrome/ium stores extensions in .config rather than share. Those take up 600MB each in my config folder on my system.

* Qupzilla has a profile network cache of 32MB in config.

* Brackets has 14MB of cache data in config.

* Clementine puts its indexing databases in config.

* Spideroak puts everything in config - its index database and snapshots.

I'm not as familiar with offenders putting configurations into share, but I know at least KDE's kscreen puts monitor layouts in share/kscreen when they belong in config/kscreen.

I'd like to see Ubuntu, Arch, or Fedora (the big distros with the market share to push for best practices) enforce disk quotas on config directories - ie, a program cannot use more than 5MB of space there, akin to localstorage's limit and the intent to use it as a config store rather than persistent data store which is what indexdb / share are.

Also, .config should just be config. No dot. Users need to configure their stuff, they should be able to see it.
What are the pros and cons of each opportunity?
I don't believe the content distribution rights operate that way. I think what you can see depends on where you are physically located. Not where you are from.
Toppling democratically elected governments is generally considered a dick move.
Thisi s cool, but to really reproduce art, you have to avoid RGB-based displays. I've always assumed the reason wide-gamut/CIE Lab*-influenced displays are uncommon is that RGB is "good enough" for most purposes outside of image-editing/printing. But they can only show a fraction of the colors humans can see. IIRC, the standard sRGB space used in most monitors can only show a third of the human-visible spectrum.

Here's a good list: http://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq.html#what-is-the-differenc...
We in the west are very diverse. There are lots of people in America and Europe who are very attracted to the "soft parts" of Buddhism. Especially secular people who started meditating out of desperation and found that the most attractive instructions were Buddhist. Quite a few of them end up doing a Goenka retreat, because they're free and they're advertised as secular and nonsectarian—although they also claim an unbroken teaching lineage descending from Gautama Buddha.

I think the momentum of soft Buddhism is strong enough to warrant some healthy critique. What does it actually mean to align oneself with an ancient and foreign religious tradition? What's the relation between meditation and Buddhism, and what are the good reasons to not be a Buddhist? What is Buddhism, even? How well does it actually work? And so on.

Nobody expects Buddhists to strip Buddhism from their meditation. But the phenomenon here is the scores of Western people who become Buddhists, or quasi-Buddhists, mostly because they like to meditate and are seeking some source of meaning, truth, and devotion. It's an extremely interesting phenomenon, and I'm a quasi-Buddhist myself in just this way (took precept vows at a Zen center, have gone to multiple meditation retreats, have read plenty of Buddhist literature, visited some rural Thai temples, etc).

Come on. They put a heart rate monitor into the device, and they plastered information about it all over their website. I didn't manage to find a single mention that it's crap.

You don't do that unless you want people to believe you're selling a working heart rate monitor. So if it turns out the monitor is not usable for its stated purpose, then they either fucked up the engineering, or they're literally scamming people. In both cases the comapny is supposed to either address the problem or close shop. That's exacly what should happen.
More importantly, how are they to know what country lies on the other end of the tunnel, so that they could determine what is not available locally there?

I think this is a bit of hand-waving to placate certain rights holders. If subscribers who VPN from the U.S. to the U.S.--perhaps for privacy purposes--are affected, and they make enough noise, Netflix will likely back off to "well, at least we tried" intensity.
No, in different countries different publishers own (the same) content. They have to license the media from the country-specific publishers.

I don't know the logic as to why Netflix published content isn't available worldwide, though. Maybe they have non-competes or something.

The content is one thing, but I could live with country based restrictions. What I'm afraid is the availability of subtitles.

I'm from a country in Northern Europe and live in a country in Central Europe. I want my movies and series without dubbing, and with English subtitles. US Netflix has been a perfect solution for this.
The article seems to say that the estimate of all who have lived is about 106 billion, so the number of currently-alive is estimated at about 6% of those who have ever lived.

Arthur C. Clarke wrote "Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living." I wondered if that ratio needed updating. It does, but not, it seems, in the direction I expected.
Yes, but then you have to actually do the work to resolve the issues. Again, it's not about skill, it's about time and money. What you're paying for is just not having to think about it.

> Well, these series should be the ones that you should NOT need to resort to proxies for, since they're Netflix owned content.

Except Netflix offered exclusive licenses for them to some local tv networks, as far as I understand.

This is total bollocks. "Cool" is not, and has never been, about not fitting in, or following your own path. It's about following the same path as everyone else, but being on the outside edge of the herd - just ahead of everyone else it best, but just the right distance behind works too. Best of all is to be just ahead of a small herd that is itself just ahead of the mainstream.

David Bowie was cool. Daniel Johnston was just an oddball.

There are dozens if not hundreds of people who frequent HN who have never taken an interest in conforming, and who follow their own noses. I'm one of them, and no-one has EVER considered me to be "cool".
Exactly. Blocking down known VPN/Proxy endpoints gets them 99% mileage with minimal effort. I don't think they are looking for 100% coverage here.
Are accounts transferrable? What if if I travel to the US and use my account there? Would I still be discriminated against, on the basis of my billing country?
That's the theory, but due to induced demand the opposite tends to happen.

Travel in the city gets slower because there's more traffic, it becomes harder to move into and out of the city due to increases in commuter activity, and rush-hour traffic on local streets gets worse as more people try and funnel into these highways.
3 is the closest integer to e which plays a large part in randomness.
Wasn't Google chat replaced by Hangouts, which does not support XMPP?
Although it's my same intuitive feeling, Your background image is not more important than your navigation bar is a pretty strong assertion without citing studies or presenting some trends in user stories.
The "problem" is much more prevalent than people think. Switchers come from Windows to Mac and expect it to function exactly like Windows. When it turns out Mac has its own ways of doing things, they're disappointed. It doesn't matter that quite often the "Mac" way of doing things is actually better or at least more consistent, they just expect it to be exactly like Windows. Well, guess what, folks, you can "drill with a saw and saw with a drill", but you shouldn't expect a good user experience unless you use the tools the way they are meant to be used.

Because that content was also licensed by Netflix to other companies. House of Cards, for example, was licensed to companies in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, India, and others before Netflix's arrival there, and when Netflix did arrive in those places, those licensing agreements were still in place, meaning Netflix couldn't make its own content available in those countries.
>You have that backwards.

Parent didn't put it in time terms. Just noted that everyone who ever lived, has also died ("A && B", as opposed to "A then B").

>Besides that, all people still currently living have not died.

Yes, though one could say that those people are still "living", not yet in a state having "lived" (past tense), as parent put it.

"why bother" should be the first question asked and first question answered (by the Imba team).
Because media companies didn't pay for these apples in Ireland to being with. The original authors of content sold these apples to Netflix to sell in America, but sold it to other local companies in Ireland, because these other local companies offered them a better deal than Netflix. By not detecting proxies, Netflix essentially sold something they didn't purchase in the first place.

That would be better; then I could just get a US netflix account using US billing information (easy to get) and then watch all the US content I want.
This is actually quite fascinating (and part of my upcoming book...)

Despite the obvious high/low-level language differentials, people have been managing multi-million-line C code-bases since the 80's. Then again, think of how little the build tooling has actually changed -- instead of fragmenting, you're left with llvm, gcc, make at the core of most compiled software.

JavaScript is the exact opposite with the lowest possible barrier to entry (built-in to every web browser...), and the proliferation of frameworks and libraries may be due to this in combination with the lack of fundamental understanding of design patterns that can scale. Lots of people trying to partially solve symptoms, missing the forest for the trees.

Theoretically there's nothing preventing good patterns in high-level UI development, but I'm not quite sure it's been done right, yet and have no idea when the dust will settle.
Oh dear oh dear oh dear, the medicine has let you down.

The second hardest thing, after getting yourself to the office, is conveying your problem in all its gruesomeness. I have a hunch they aren't allowed to lead you with questions, and if you think its "normal" you won't describe it in enough detail. It's too easy to start thinking that you are of bad character, or "it's just life". You aren't and it ain't - a healthy person, especially with a good skill set, can easily focus on his work, or put effort to find better work. Timid acceptance of suffering, absent an actual terminal disease, is the hallmark of a mood disorder.

The key trigger with doctors is to describe both how you feel and how that affects your life - e.g. you can't do your work in the afternoon, you can't sleep at night and feel tired during the day, your relationship unravels because you can't put any effort into it, the trash is piling over your house, the bills go unpaid more than they have to be, you get riled up about inconsequential things and can't calm down, that sort of thing.

I'm glad you found proper help. Tenacity pays.
For all practical purposes, no the parts of an HDD do not degrade physically in a way which causes performance to reduce noticeably on a continuous scale over time. The parts very definitely do degrade physically of course, but the effect on performance for practical purposes will be rather more binary, i.e. one day it just won't work any more ;-)

What does cause the performance of the spinning disk to degrade noticeably over time is fragmentation of data. Especially in laptops, the increase of fragmentation and the correlated decrease in the performance of basically everything can be easily identified by the increased clicking and whirring noises coming from the disk (you may have noticed this on yours) - this is the heads thrashing around trying to read all that fragmented data spread around all over the disk.

Especially on older laptops, if the HDD has never been de-fragmented, it's almost certain that this is your problem and is the performance bottleneck which has been getting tighter over time. In that sense yes, HDDs do degrade over time, but not in an irreversible manner, until of course they physically crash due to parts failure.

Funnily enough SSDs are not affected by data fragmentation, because the speed with which the data is accessed is not affected by its physical location in nearly the same way (distances over the disk which are massive to motor-driver heads are irrelevant to electrons), but they do degrade physically with writes in a way which degrades performance continuously over time. The difference is though, you'd very likely never notice this on a home laptop with an SSD unless it was extremely old, generally with modern SSDs you'd have to be doing data-centre server levels of daily reads/writes to start to really worry about wearing the thing out in any noticeable way, over any sensible time period.
How to overcome your tech recruitment problems in the US

FWIW, I've talked to plenty of people for whom this has been far from the case. They went to a 10 day retreat, some of them had blissful times or fascinating out-of-body experiences or whatever, but most of these people haven't ended up with a stable daily meditation practice. So right now I'm pretty skeptical about this hypothesis.
> In the end, you have to choose what you want. Do you want a single gadget or do you want a whole smart home system?

Prior to last week, Netflix did not operate in all countries. In the countries you couldn't sign up for Netflix, Netflix licensed its content to other distributors/networks to make it available locally. The content won't be available on their local Netflix service until those exclusive licenses expire. Going forward, now that Netflix is available everywhere, they won't need or want to license out their original content like that, since they can distribute it themselves.
The Snabb Switch crew are starting to work on support for basic handling of packets on 100G NICs. However...

> With the new CPUs tending to increase the core count while the CPU frequency goes down, we'll get less and less "CPU cycles per packet". For example E5-2699v3 45M is 18 cores@2.3GHz. 10Gbps with 256 byte packets is achieved with 4.53Mpps, this makes ~500 clocks per packet on this CPU. Now make this 100Gbps and you get 50 clocks. You get this budget to receive, process and send the packet. 50 sounds pretty low to me.

Numbers refer to using only a single core. That particular CPU has 18 cores and 36 hardware threads.

Probobly. Hopefully so have they learned from the fallout from the AOL search log case ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL_search_data_leak ). That case was certainly a big mess.
The far easier method is with DNS services, I wonder if it will affect those too or this is just an official announcement and they will not do anything drastic.

You still get multiple copies of jars. And you still need to replace them. And you still might have older projects that need particular versions of a jar that you need to update somehow in case such a long-reaching issue is discovered (and upstream might not do that at all).
That isn't the answer. Many of the people who you'd target don't have the kind of control needed to actually "fix" it. Its generally a cultural problem with the company and the company is the target that should be destroyed in the extreme case where (2) would be appropriate [which nukes the wealth of the shareholders].
