Dokku or dokku alt on digital ocean... A $40 VPS can handle quite a bit of load... there's not much in terms of scaling, or redundancy, but as a starting point, with similar cognitive overhead, it's a nice starting point and value... Once you need more, you can worry about it when you need it.

We still release every 2 weeks on the dot. Next release is on Friday.

And our stable branch is changing to yearly releases! We are going to do a code freeze every Fall and release in late Fall or early Winter. It is also going to receive more regular backports of "safe" improvements, so slow distros like Debian can benefit from important fixes. We've already had a dot-dot stable release this year!

Good point. You'd think this would be something that local / state law enforcement should be handling, but the reason it's kicked up to the federal level is that the attack is politically motivated, which places it in the "terrorism" category.

The irony is that most people are afraid to stand up (to body scanners, mass surveillance, etc.) because of threats of violence from their own government, which is in itself a form of terrorism.
Swift, definition of version 1.0 and ABI stability
I don't have any opinions on Swift itself, just their versioning. Why would you release 1.0 without a stable ABI? We just had a choice of Swift or Obj-C in our project and Obj-C won by a landslide because its stable. Swift just seems like a toy language that Apple screwed up a long time ago by releasing it way too early. It is basically useless if you need to do anything else than source based integration. I am baffled and confused.

What do you mean by that? Doesn't every bug tracker implement that feature?
Sure--you won't be able to get every tumor. But there are certain markers that are more common than others, so if you can get the top ~10 done within reasonable measures of safety, you could prevent a nontrivial number of cancers.

There are a handful of embryonic proteins that are normally expressed during development but are absent in the adult that are particularly promising. One of the hallmarks of cancer is dedifferentiation--losing specific markers and function and looking more and more like a stem cell that can continue to replicate, and these embryonic proteins are known to be reexpressed in many tumors.
> It's natural to cheer for your team and boo the other team. I wouldn't take too much offense.

It is a primitive behaviour because it fosters racism and hatred for others instead of cooperation. The one thing we do not need more of right now is hatred, there's enough of it in the world.

Edit: It is also one thing if a private person holds his opinion (however detestable it might be - I don't care) and if we get this shoved down our throats on a large scale via all types of media and politicians. The latter is what I feel is offending.

2 things: you have to manually install a Web browser. Under Debian, it is equally as easy to install Firefox as it is to install chromium and other competing browsers (no lock-in), and the big one: you are not compelled to pay for Debian like you are for Windows.

Apple vs. The FBI, Understanding iPhone Encryption, the Risks for Apple
What's the alternative? If you will try installing random stuff you'll get dependencies hell. Another extreme is self contained software, when each application bundles its own dependencies. Android does that more or less. But such approach causes major bloat and also increases security risks because you need to patch each application and its dependencies (which are duplicated in the multiple variants) once vulnerabilities are discovered.

Any better ideas than these two?
Sleeping is by far the best exercise for the brain.
I quoted a price - say 6 thousand dollars, for the job. Then, when I billed it, I would bill for the full six thousand dollars, with the notation of 1/10 net 30 or sometimes 1/15 net 30 (since a few organizations had trouble getting checks out quickly, and wouldn't even try for the ten). So there was only a discount seen by the accounts payable people - and it was never discussed at any time. I don't know if anybody that I actually worked with even knew I was giving the discounts. They were just there to motivate quick payment.

At any rate, they worked very well in real life. Never any problems. Just a matter of adding the notation at the top of the invoice.

Good questions! It is a crowded market, but nobody has really nailed it yet. Clubhouse is being built specifically for software teams, and we're trying to provide just enough structure to let you see what's going on at a high level, but keep it flexible enough so that you can work the way your team wants to.

Part of what makes us different is the little details that add up to a better UX, but our GitHub integration is pretty sophisticated: we don't just link stories to pull requests, we can actually automate your Clubhouse workflow using your existing GitHub workflow. We've also put a lot of work into cross-project visibility, so most other tools only let you see one project at a time, so it's difficult to know what a single person is doing across multiple projects, but in Clubhouse it's very easy. We're also starting to get into more interesting features, like providing data-driven guidance around milestones and deadlines, the ability to create roadmaps and more organic story dependencies, more analytics/dataviz... we still have a lot to do.

Fast request routing using regular expressions
I'm not claiming it is in ROM or that it is not upgradeable if you are Apple and have physical access to the device. I'm not sure on that point. What I think must be the case is that Apple can't remotely upgrade the SE firmware as part of its iOS update mechanism. Although, to be perfectly honest, I have not seen this explicitly documented.
It also uses xor internally, but I wouldn't say that scrypt is based on xor. scrypt does not use PBKDF2 for any PBKDF properties; it's just a convenient arbitrary-length-output hash function. I would have used a sponge if they had been widely available when I created scrypt.
> The reason for getting deposits is so that they can loan 10x or 100x

They can loan out 90% of your cash, if that's what you mean. (In the US.)

They give you both security and liquidity as well as payment processing options. If you think they're overcharging, you could always buy government/corporate bonds yourself (or through bond funds, maybe.)
I don't disagree with anything you said, but I would like to add that if you become aware of a program that used to work, but no longer does, PLEASE file a bug! We take regressions very seriously[1].

I'm not an expert, but I think there's been a variety of attempts for vascular renormalization--to restore the normal flow of vessels to allow for drug delivery, etc. Rakesh Jain's lab (at MGH) is a big player in this field and is worth looking up if you're interested.

I'm not personally familiar with work in developing capillary devices, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if this was an approach under development--it certainly makes a lot of sense.
I have a feeling it's more about setting the precedent, as others have said. There are strategies that can bypass the timeout periods and automatic wiping while bruteforcing, and I'd be surprised if the FBI didn't have at least one rig set up to do it.
I'm fairly sure when you are buying physical copies of Linux distributions you are buying the service of compiling and copying it and providing physical media, the box, any manuals, etc. The source code at a minimum must be made freely available to others. That is, they aren't charging for the code delivered, but the delivery itself and the physical media.
A phone without a backdoor would be illegal in the UK once the Snooper's Charter comes in to full effect. I'm very interested to see how the UK government will react to Apple's stance.
In what way am I wrong? Wine releases are in fact every two weeks with a stable release once in a while. How is it relevant that stable are even and unstable are odd?
If you take a shot of espresso from Starbucks and compare it to a shot of espresso from a cafe which roasts their own beans, you'll taste the difference quite immediately. Starbucks beans are over-roasted by a large margin.

Their coffee has the same story. Grinding Starbuck beans results in what looks like ashes from a campfire, and doesn't release those wonderful smells from the oil. Just smell the difference when you grind a higher quality bean, never mind how much more appetizing the texture looks.

My understanding, from working in the industry for a short time, is that Starbucks roasts the largest quantity of beans in the world and that is why their coffee is so burnt. It's impossible to control the temperatures when they roast these large quantity of beans with much precision, so they compensate by over-roasting them.

That said, coffee snobbery isn't a good thing, and their drinks aren't that bad when you put in tons of sugar or milk. But without the dressings, it's pretty terrible quality.
Doesn't matter, Debian hasn't a monopoly.
But it's more interesting to think about the case where the phone does have a secure enclave.

You do -- if people really are rationally processing ideas, then, so long as someone is exposed to good, not-socially-destructive ideas, they will propagate more successfully than those that aren't.

Again, that assumption has a lot of far reaching implications that aren't appreciated. In fairness, there's some wiggle room between ideal rational agent and moron, but not that allows money to turn bad ideas into ones accepted by people whom we consider qualified to vote. Or do we really consider them qualified?
The mere fact that the safe manufacturer is able to make such a modification already means the safe is not very secure. The development of the modification is almost incidental at that point.

If the safe manufacturer doesn't want to be put in this position, it should make it so there is no such modification possible. Which as far as I understand it is what Apple did with their safes^H^H^H^H^Hphones starting with the A7 CPU, but this phone is older.
I chose the words "password hash" carefully. If you're using a secure password hash, you're not worrying about salts, because they take care of randomization for you. If you are worrying about salts, you probably have bigger problems than memcmp timing.

I'm going to have to ask: is "scales like a squirrel carrying watermelons" your own material, or is that a saying invented somewhere else? The imagery is just so apt, the etymology of the phrase is suddenly piquing my curiosity.

I think that's an understatement. Unless that data is completely anonymized, isn't it a violation of HIPAA? Isn't this illegal?
While I think protecting user data is important, I don't understand what the fuss is about. Anyone could (given technical knowledge + tools) take apart a phone, pull the encrypted data out of storage, and then brute force the encryption on a large machine.

The FBI doesn't need the modified iOS code, and that Apple write/not-write it doesn't change anything in the end, since someone else could just as well write the software with some reverse engineering.

The problem then is when this trickles down to projects like Ubuntu. For years, Ubuntu (the desktop distro) had Wine 1.0 as its only version of Wine, when there were something like 40 new development releases of it already available. This caused hundreds upon hundreds of bug reports and user frustrations for no good reason - issues were already fixed in most recent versions of Wine.

I used to do triaging for Wine and I can't tell you how depressing that was, the amount of time wasted by these distro policies.

Josh Elman on Building Your Growth Model
They used to be custodian of money deposited in their care. Ownership was clear, as was the role of the bank. At no point could they refuse a withdraw, as doing so would ruin the precious trust they needed in order to be a bank.

The few times that trust was lost, we have a historical records of a bank crisis where people rushed to the bank to get back their deposited money. A bank today can just declare a maximum withdraw limit and act as if it is normal operation (most banks in Sweden have today a continuously maximum of $1500 limit per week on cash withdraws).
If the backdooring method uses a special firmware update that needs to be signed by Apple, rotating their keys means that it could be unlearned as well.
The headline is "interview performance is kind of arbitrary," but the data solution proposed in the article is "interviewers rate interviewees in a few different dimensions," which is not any less arbitrary.

I appreciate there is an appendix addressing this issue, but it does not absolve the issues the analysis, especially since the appendix uses a "Versus Rating" to justify the statistical accuracy of the system, which is also calculated somewhat arbitrarily (since the Versus Rating is derived from the calculated interview score, wouldn't it be expected that the two have a relationship?)

The fact that the results of the non-arbitrary score are centralized around 3 out of a 4 max (instead of the midpoint of 2) implies a potential flaw or bias in the scale criteria. (The post notes that people who get a 3 typically move forward; maybe selection bias is in play since companies would not interview unskilled people in the first place)

That's not to say that the statistical techniques in the analysis themselves are unimpressive though. I particularly like the use of FontAwesome icons with Plot.ly.

It's the same vendor whether it comes from their site or the package repository.

The package manager allows you to cryptographically verify the binary was inspected by somebody you trust (the package maintainers). While windows has added code-signing/verification capabilities, many installers are unsigned, and those which are signed don't have a useful trust anchor.

Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I've sent naive emails like that with no response, or a polite "that's nice, kid, but come back in 4 years with your degree."

Maybe I was just doing it wrong, but my reward for such efforts was nothing but silence.

Meanwhile, sending out form resumes seems to eventually and consistently work, with way less effort.
I should plan to use the RPi as a second computer. Only thing to do is find an used LCD screen, but I'm not sure if an SD card can really sustain daily use (I think flash memory is not really meant to sustain many read/write), or if it's still possible to find USB hard drives under $30 (a 100GB should be cheaper than a 128GB USB flash drive, but again I don't think that 100GB hard drive are still being built).

The RPi is great, but there aren't good enough starter packages that can really convert it into a full computer. There are many second hand LCD screens out there that could be sold with a RPi.
