I know what you mean but the soda analogy doesn't really make sense to me. How is Coca-Cola more "prestigious" or something than Pepsi?
I respectfully disagree with your claim that replacing ' with '' will complete the security. Reason: there are non-string cases, so there exists concatenations like:
"WHERE SomeNumber = " + inputValue + " ... "

but inputValue is a string (from untyped xml), but is put into SQL without quotes because SomeNumber is an int type in the database. Since the xml is constructed without validation, an attacker could put any value there, including strings to inject, and do so without using quotes.

I think this is a fair question. From other comments it sounds like there are union agreements that may not have been available before, and it can be argued that the public should know what their governments have contracted with police unions. Another item mentioned in other comments is what looks like a forum database dump, so people could find out what the police say about various subjects when they expect nobody to hear.
This isn't a technical report. There's nothing technical in here except for some jargon that doesn't belong.
I work at a large company that uses ATS heavily (top 5 site). There have been huge improvements in performance and functionality after this paper has been written.

In his benchmarks he was running with a single volume configured for cache, which would have a global lock on cache. If he partitioned the cache into multiple volumes (something we do by default now) he would have had much lower cache hit response times.

The majority of our cache hit response times in production are less than 1 ms.

In the benchmarks I have run ATS has always been faster then Varnish and NGiNX. If they weren't I would have made changes to ATS to make it faster.
Again, the problem is getting the antennae up high. Unless you and your small group happen to own some radio towers and/or tall buildings, range is going to be much much smaller.
I'd be shocked if this was the case given how much of video is pre-roll and the "view but don't click" nature of it. You'd have to have a pretty friggin' compelling CTA to get someone to click it and drop your cookie.
One thing to note about the list of failing tests is the vast majority of them are due to a single bug (or two): https://github.com/Microsoft/Pyjion/issues/103 . And we currently only have 11 open bugs so the test failures make it look worse than it is.
Is this why GitHub unicorned for a bit yesterday? I'm looking forward to the engineering blog post talking about what went wrong and how they fixed it.

To me they are for totally different types businesses. Most of the Shark Tank businesses are hope to get on QVC type products/businesses which would never get into YC. Very few software companies try to get on there. probably because the valuations are much more inline with traditional business valuation not high grow companies.
Why is the project dead?

If you have a fully functional web app, the logical next step would be to launch it, but it sounds like you've tried that and felt it failed for some reason. Are there other things you could try to push its adoption forward?

I would think so because I've read one study of monkeys and the economic concept of marginal utility where the researchers found that the monkeys would measure the marginal utility of one kind of food versus another (3 apples vs 6 bananas and so forth). So, if you can measure that I'm certain the brain can adapt to different units of measure in all conceivable categories.
Now you've piqued my interest as I'm in the middle of ramping up for a product-focused video ad test.

Yep, Dragon 2 is capable of propulsive landing with no parachutes on earth, although to begin with it'll use parachutes and land in the water (perhaps using the engines to soften the landing).

Interestingly, Dragon 2 does have enough fuel to land on Mars, with clever aerobraking. NASA has done some feasibility studies on using a Dragon to land on Mars with a sample return vehicle inside it.
Vice runs vacuous clickbait sometimes, but they've gotten a LOT better in the last few years and they also do some excellent journalism now.

In particular, their feature-length documentaries are consistently amazing, as is Vice on HBO. Shane Smith and Thomas Morton both have balls of titanium. They go places ordinary journalists would never go, figuratively and literally.

Give them a second chance.
Your paraphrase is one thing.

When the current Commander in Chief of the United States of America, the most powerful military in the world, says "the biggest security problem [is] Osama bin Laden," that's something entirely different.

I think the truth is somewhere between your guys' position. There is a very real statistical difference between the crime rates between neighborhoods. But its also true that the actual incident rate is much exaggerated by the media and perceptions of neighborhood differences are greater than reality.

One thing that is for sure, young black teens/men have a much, much more dangerous time of it, regardless of neighborhood than anyone else, and that is tragic.

And while we are adding anecdotes to the thread, I've lived in a "bad" neighborhood on Chicago's South Side for over a decade and I've never had a single violent incident (property crime has occurred). In that same span I was attacked in Lincoln Park and Streeterville, and had an attempted bicycle incident near McCormick Place.

I routinely walk in front of crowds of young men hanging on corners (its daily for me as I pass by a couple of schools) and have never had an incident (and I in fact know many of those young men). But there are also neighborhoods less than a mile away where I would not be comfortable doing that.
I'm not disagreeing with you per sé, but it is possible that some crucial stuff is learned in the 15 years before these tests were administered?

The reason I'm asking is that purely based on a 'hunch', I feel that the most useful years of my education were before the age of around 12-13 and after the age of 20. I have no solid evidence to support this, just my experience and that of my peers.

Edit: to try and support my hunch: in my country 12-13 is the age where the 'sorting hat' is applied and you move to middle/high school (physically different location, on of three levels based on earlier performance), and 20 is generally around the second or third year of 'higher vocational training' or 'university' where the non-motivated are sorted out and (generally) the ones who are going to finish college are left. It's also the point where classes become less general, multiple-choice, massive (300+ classes sometimes) and instead become more focused and interesting.
> There is a pretty tight formal argument that, whether one is for or against unions, public unions are clearly bad. Here is the latest thing I have read on this: http://www.amazon.com/Government-against-Itself-Public-Conse....

Destroying public sector unions is one of the major bullet points on the right wing agenda.

Posting a book funded by the Manhattan Institute (i.e. Richard Mellon Scaife, Bill Kristol, etc) should have exactly zero power to convince anyone not interested in being a part of that agenda.

EDIT: Wait it gets better, the comment I am responding to was actually posted by someone who has themselves been supported by the Manhattan Institute: http://malchow.com/about/

I guess that's how this all works isn't it.

EDIT 2: The above commented was edited to read "EDIT: Comment below is hysterical and political. This book is a good read. Chuck Reed, former mayor of San Jose, says this about it..."

Anyone care to give a summary of what the data dump contains?
The "42" (school) seems very promising, it's a private French computer programming school created and funded by Xavier Niel.

To apply, there is no degree or diploma requirement, and it's completely free.

The training focuses on project-based learning via a peer-to-peer pedagogy and allows students to set their own pace for learning.

IMO The 42 school is not research-oriented, but rather emphasizes practical training suited to the needs of startups.

Dancing with friends and enemies: boids' swarm intelligence
> theory of computation, recursion theory and type theory and PL, compilers, complexity theory and algorithms, advanced data structures, concurrency and distributed systems etc

All of those are fairly basic topics that most people can pick up in an afternoon or two. These are all things that anyone who has been programming, reading, and interacting in the field of computer science understand. I could understand someone requesting that knowledge be provided to them in a college environment.

What I object to is universities charging for the "well-rounded"-ness that you speak of. Can you please define for me what it means to be well rounded?

From what I have seen is that no, no one can define what it means to be well rounded.

What do you have to do to be well rounded? No, no one can tell me that either.

Some how having gone through a university you are proscribed this trait of being in the "know". You automatically are transformed into a scholar, a person who is now magically "well rounded".

Don't get me wrong, I think that there needs to be a structured curriculum, but only of things you need to understand make it in your respective specialization.

For me, I'd love to get into building compilers, operating systems, digital signal processing, and general software development.

For me, I'd say this is the perfect regiment for me:

* Full understanding of the computer booting process, understanding of modern processor features.

- Write a self hosting operating system, bootloader, and learn to write a BIOS for an example computer

* Software maintenance and revision control

- Following the current industry best-standard practices

* High level math with a focus in signal processing

* Familiarization with X top programming languages at the time of graduation

- This should include standard formatting for each language, understanding implementation details, and full familiarization with X top used libraries and standard library

* Understand logic and problem solving

You may notice that I have annotated some of the things I feel I should learn, others I have not. If I have annotated it, it is because I have learned to do this on my own time and I want to expand that knowledge and I know it will help me professionally. The things I have not annotated are things that I have a basic understanding of, but I need someone to teach me although I am not getting that at a university.

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong about this. I think these are fairly rational claims that I am making. Maybe I'm completely wrong and being able to quote shake-spear will help me when I need to learn the documentation for int 0x13 when I need to load a file on a 30 year old IBM PC when fixing a kernel level bug at some company, or when I need to write software to process data coming from sensors at 100GHz.

Edit: Updated formatting.

Your conclusion is right. To me, that helps keep schools honest and continuously adapting their curriculum's (except for the misplaced apostrophe).

In other words: Sure, you have a 4.0 in engineering from Stanford. But now let's see if you can actually compute a Fourier transform. Or even if you know when to use a FT.

To my generation, that's damning. In other words, (quoting you here) ensuring, through their own testing, that candidates meet the proper qualifications without school bias is the new normal, and it's different in a way that says we don't/can't trust the universities to deliver their product any more. The status of the universities has changed in our society, and that, in my opinion, is an early signal for a coming disruption.
I think the implication that you can get an online Master's from a reputable school (Johns Hopkins, Georgia Tech, MIT, etc) by "copy paste answers off the Internet" is pretty baseless. The posts on /r/OMSCS seem to point directly to the contrary at least.

The idea that being in a physical room and speaking to a professor in person makes you more worthy of a degree is simply not accurate. A degree should be a measure of academic ability, not a measure of physical proximity and willingness to put ones life on hold for a predetermined amount of time.
MINOR SPOILER/HINT BELOW

While I sort of agree, I must say that part of the fun of the game (and much of the challenge) is learning the 'language' of each puzzle. In the case of the little orange suns, it was like learning from scratch, one letter at a time.

First panel: "Okay, I can't go between them."

Second panel: "Oh, I can, but have to end up on one side... which amounts to having them in the same section. How is that different?"

Third panel: "There were 4, and the only path that worked divided them? What the hell?"

Fourth panel: "Oh with six I have to make them into groups of two - so maybe I have to divide them equally?"

Fifth panel: "Aha, no, it's groups of two!"

And now that's part of your vocabulary; you discovered it organically, not by bringing in some outside knowledge like symbols from off the island. Notice there aren't any numbers or letters? Like, anywhere? That's part of it...
In what specific way is the American education system effective in fostering the above? I think you may have it exactly backwards.

It seems to me that the opportunity afforded to an individual simply by living in the United States is the real driving force behind most successful endeavors like the above, and "geniuses" (I use that very loosely) rise to the top DESPITE our education system.

Yes, and it's compounded by the limited time in a school day. Having an extra 30-60 minutes a day to focus on the unique needs of your class would help, but as it is, the teachers are put in a position to churn through the material to get to the testing. But, from my semi-outsider perspective, there is lower hanging fruit to improve performance at the elementary school level.

Varnish (just like Nginx) is putting key features behind a paywall. That's one of the reasons I personally want to consider Traffic Server. Plus, it's been around for ages, has a great architecture, and a great track record as well. All it needs is a little more awareness and that's why I keep posting it here. :)
Not just software- it started in engineering before software. My point is just that- pedigree is no longer trusted.

>For internationalisation storing in UTC is still the gold standard, since it remains consistent with itself across time and DST zones.

Saving as UTC doesn't really solve the issue (although it seems like it does).

The issue that the previous posters (Khao, laut) didn't make explicit is that we have 2 concepts of datetimes:

1) scientific datetime (which UTC is unambiguous, except for obscure things such as leap seconds)

2) socially-constructed datetime (which "local" time + TZ resolves most (but not all) of the ambiguities)

Scientific(UTC) datetime works great for past events like server logs, and some types of future events such as celestial events. For example, the upcoming solar eclipse in August 21 2017. Regardless of what future DST rules are decreed by the government, the moon is going to move in front of the sun at a 16:48:33 UTC time.

Socially-constructed future datetime such as appointments don't work the same way. For example, we presume that a Super Bowl on the east coast in the year 2025 will have a kick off of 6:30pm but we can't encode that as UTC unambigously because we don't know today what DST rules will be in effect 10 years from now. In 2016, we don't know whether to encode it as 22:30UTC or 23:30UTC.

That said, if the planning horizon is short (such as sending out alerts for an upcoming conference call to participants spanning timezones), one can encode it as UTC internally and then decode it to local wall-clock time. It may be simpler that way with less bugs.
Well, it's not a libc (although it seems to contain one).

> They can't just commit people because they talked to them and decided hey lock that guy up.

They're free to assess you however they want and then use that as an excuse. Who is going to argue with and stop them? The judge? Your lawyer? Someone else who lacks a medical degree and "psychiatric expertise"?

There are so many ways it can go wrong for you. Maybe they thought you said something you didn't. I was once accused of making suicidal statements that I never did - not even a matter of being misheard, but completely making up things that I had never said. Maybe you just seem twitchy or distracted or they think they see signs of some other symptom. Maybe they just decide to lie because they think they know best.

I'm not claiming that every psych is out to get you, just that you really roll the dice when you talk to an unknown one. Hence the comparison to dealing with police. From my own experiences and people I've known, it gets worse when you aren't involved of your own free will or aren't the one directly paying for your own treatment.

In your case, I'd be curious whether whichever working clinical psychiatrist that was assigned to this person also felt as strongly that they should be committed, and had similar lack of success doing so?

Some non-anecdotal evidence either way would be more convincing, but this is the impression I've gotten considering the uniformity of experiences I've observed. Only one person I can think of actually felt they were helped by and had a positive experience with a psychiatric institution, and that was through a college health service. The only paper[1] I could find on it reports that "retrospectively, between 33% and 81% of patients regard the admission as justified and/or the treatment as beneficial," which is a uselessly broad range and could be used to conclude either way.

This is absolutely true for a number of businesses, however as things are becoming more global (or at least one part of the human touch is) I believe it's fading.

I think a lot of processes could be migrated to asynchronous B2B communication without an overall impact on efficiency. Indeed, probably some gains from batching similar parcels of work together as opposed to a day of "What about X1?" "What about Y1?" "What about X2?" etc etc.
A lot of these schools have historically targeted US military personnel all around the US and even abroad due to the perception of 1. Ignorance 2. funding per Montgomery GI Bill or other entitlements for service members. It's part of why the University of Phoenix was recently banned from trying to recruit US Army (or another service branch) near bases / camps I suspect.
> Both teach basically the same thing.

They should, but they don't. Teachers make a difference. I'm at a mediocre university and watching MIT lectures has made me realize I'm missing out on literally mountains of knowledge. Never mind the qualification process, spending several years with intelligent people (both students and faculty) makes a huge difference.
Some people do use nginx as a caching server. CloudFlare, for example, is built on top of it.

The reason to do so is because you want the rest of what nginx provides, not to get its caching module. It is an extremely barebones solution that only solves the most basic requirements. I can only presume that CloudFlare and others have written their own caching modules for nginx.

A short list of annoyances:

1. No support for multiple disk devices. Files are written to a fixed temp path and then renamed to their real destination. So you need to use RAID to present the disks as one logical device, which is a wholly unnecessary expense in a caching environment.

2. No support for purging in open source. This is an nginx plus feature, which starts at $1900/server/year.

3. Because of the temp file / rename thing, support for streaming subsequent requests off of the first request that is filling cache is janky. Subsequent requests have to acquire a lock.

4. No support for any fancier cache setups, utilizing ICP / HTCP.
