Yeah, I read that too. I don't use twitter :)
Does there exist an enterprise grade server/webui solution based on a keepass db? We are looking for an enterprise password manager solution that does not need all the ldap/ad integration bells/whistles (although we may explore ldap integration with the tool in the future). So I was thinking why not just use keepass. And by enterprise grade I guess I really mean it needs to be a multi user solution, but everyone would be working from the same pw db..

No doubt we will be hearing much more of this in the UK over the next few months, given that EU rules have frequently been used as an excuse in a similar fashion. It's one of the arguments in favour of the UK leaving.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I'm a little surprised that the out campaign hasn't made more of TTIP itself as a textbook example of the democratic deficit they complain about. Various people in reply have pointed out that the current UK administration would seem likely to support a similar trade deal with the US directly anyway and in practice it may be other EU states putting the brakes on parts of TTIP, so possibly raising the issue would backfire.
> And DSLs done the right way, via macros, are much better in integrating with tools than any ad hoc interpreted DSLs would ever be able to. You can easily have syntax and semantic highlighting infered, with auto indentation, intellisense and all the bells and whistles. For no extra cost.

No you can't. If the macro is arbitrary code then no tool can offer those things - there's no way to offer intellisense if you don't know what strings are meaningful in the language, and an unconstrained macro could use anything to mean anything.
This article somehow implies a moral obligation on Oracle's behalf to either modify their licence or code to be gpl compliant. I sincerely hope they don't as the GPL brigade is getting louder in their intolerance of other licences.

Exactly what I thought of as well.. I know it's cliche but Zen really helped me clarify my thoughts on quality and the different ways to pursue it.
Could you develop libraries that way, though? It would have to be absolutely pure Swift, not using any iOS libraries, like NSURL etc. etc. - surely incredibly limiting.

from the dictionary:

=====

the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something: an improvement in product quality | the hospital ranks in the top tier in quality of care.

general excellence of standard or level: a masterpiece for connoisseurs of quality | [ as modifier ] : a wide choice of quality beers.

=====

Seems pretty simple applied to software. Intuitively does what it says it does in a bug free manner.

If you want to get into a discussion that parallels why people call modern art great and there can be no standards for what is art, then I'm really not interested. I don't believe a white canvas is art, and I believe software and art can have objective standards.
Yeah, this was my concern as well. The clone performance on continuous integration serves probably degrades.
But at that point it's no longer the language of the domain. If you're going to support writing mathematics that looks like the mathematics that mathematicians write then you need infix operators, because mathematics is written with infix operators. Similarly for many other domains.
The article states that Debian does this, and gives a link: http://blog.halon.org.uk/2016/01/on-zfs-in-debian/
All compilers translate a text stream into a tree structure during parsing, so arguing that some language "needs" infix is saying that there is some tree structure out there that can't be traversed depth-first rather than breadth-first.

That can only be true if your supposed "tree" actually contains loops. What language do you know of that generates cyclical parse structures?

A bit disingenuous - the handful against include major exchanges like NYSE and BATS as well as major trading firms like Citadel.

You could argue that these are direct competitors of IEX and therefore have a vested interest in preventing the new exchange - or you could argue they are best suited to see the holes in the application.

Keep in mind that previous exchange applications have went through without this level of discussion. You could argue that this is because the other exchanges are "scared" of IEX. Or... consider the possibility that IEX's application has some faults. For example, much of the focus has been on IEX's smart order router not following the same rules as all the other exchange participants. The argument is too nuanced to summarize here... but you should never decide an argument based on number of responses!
No, I'm demonstrating that if an entire programme of complex proposals can routinely become law after open debate among thousands of participants with often conflicting views and preferences, the idea that a single trade agreement can't be hammered out without resorting to secrecy and subterfuge by a small group of mostly unidentified participants is absurd.
Oh, OK. That makes more sense. As I said to other commenter, I'm not doing enough research to figure out how they're hacking it directly. There's so many published hacks of hardware and firmware that were designed for secure operation that it would be a miracle if they didn't have something on iPhones. It's more a "insecure-by-default" if it doesn't address what's on my list of attack vectors. I know it doesn't because it wouldn't be compatible with legacy ARM or iOS code without modifications. ;)

Far as parallel construction, let me see if I can quickly Google something. Here's you a few on it early on with FBI and DEA's stronger cooperation.

Quality is something you qualify, quantify (measure) and optimise for.

For example, consider a team that wanted to hire people that they considered 'Empathetic'. Firstly they would need to define what they consider good signals of this, secondly they would need to share some kind of system of measure of it, and then finally they'd be able to optimise for it by trying to create the context and behaviour that they believe would increase its likelihood (e.g. hiring people that went to a lot of Empathy training days at their previous companies).

My point is that the definition of quality is objective but abstract. In practice it refers to a concrete property that you wish to optimise for, and this choice of how and what to measure as quality is a subjective decision requiring coordination.

That does not mean it's not a useful concept, and that therefore everything should be considered equal. Most people prefer to act with regard to their preferences, and that is why people often talk about something called quality even though it's difficult to pin-down.

(This is conceptually similar to Merit which is another abstract word people use to help coordinate human activity.)
Well at least for YouTube video storage, I imagine the P/E cycles are not a problem. There have been issues with longevity like on the Samsung 840 EVO drives, but if you can avoid that then you can build some incredibly dense, fast, reliable and power efficient storage on top of V-NAND.

Cost per GB for SSDs is definitely catching up to HDD [1] and I think is expected to match or beat HDD within the decade. Power efficiency should be better on SSD and MTBF will be much better than HDD, so I would have thought TCO for SSD would have HDDs basically beat already.

Which users? Admins don't care about UX, they care about ticking checkboxes to appease management. End users are people like you and me, they want quality from their software. They may be forced to work with less then stellar software, but that does not mean they accept it.
Alas, it’s 2016 and there’s still no serious competitor to Google.

And there will not be any time soon. Writing an efficient crawler for what we call the "modern" web is not something a small or even median-size company can pull off. Google enjoys a tremendous competitive advantage: people specifically optimize webpages for what it can and cannot do. So any newcomer to the field will have to replicate tons of technologies Google had years to perfect (in addition to solving problems like storage, search logic and bandwidth management).
Yup.

Quality is about doing just enough of what's necessary and as little of what's unnecessary as possible.

If I asked the author to make the same points in 20% the time and remove unnecessary images, his/her article would be of higher quality.

See, if someone can't identify what makes an article high quality or doesn't care to make it that before posting it online - I question whether that person is well suited to speak on quality in the first place.
Google revolutionary approach to indexing the web was that it started to use the amount of hyperlinks to a page as a measure of its importance. Since then, they have a strong "internet bias". If something is more present in the internet than in the "real" world, it would appear first.

Searching for "Apple" used to display just pages about the company, not the fruit (even when the company was almost out of business). Searching for "samba" would display just pages about mounting windows filesystems in Linux, not the most important musical genre of a whole country.

Nowadays they improved their algorithms and this bias isn't so strong, but it always important to remember that what is important in the cyberspace isn't necessary important for the whole world.
> It is my understanding that Sun's lawyers originally created the CDDL to be GPL-incompatible, with the specific desire that code under that license should not be able to aid their then-competitor, Linux.

Schwartz (or Sun under Schwartz) was not a fan of the GPL. As far as I remember they were hoping that Linux and OpenSolaris would together somehow migrate to an imaginary GPLv3 that never happened.
The biggest risks to my home network are my kid's friends. They bring their gaming laptops over and connect to the house network. No telling what is going on within my perimeter!

I used to run several internal networks, each with their own static external IP addresses, all mediated by pf on OpenBSD. There was a network for the kids, one for my wife and a couple for me. That was so much work and my wife always teased me that my machines always had better quality of service so I've gotten lazy and don't enforce security in the internal networks like I should--I'm even thinking about putting in a Ring doorbell.
No safe contains as much value to a person as a phone does. A phone contains everything. Everything. All your texts, all your browsing data, all your apps and the things you record in them, safe from the world behind a passcode.

To apply your argument, your safe is a Narnia portal that brings you access to every facet of someone's life, all to track down the contents that fit on a few pieces of paper.

Equating smartphones with physical safes is ridiculous.

I am not sure why this comment (and all Udik's comments) is being downvoted into oblivion. This is the view of the US government and quite likely a vast majority of citizens here (and, I would guess, in many countries).

This morning I was having a conversation with my fiancee, who said "if the US government gets a warrant they can open your mail, they can tap your phone calls, they can come into your house and search -- why should your phone be some sort of zone they cannot search even with a warrant?"

I happen not to agree but this is not some wacko view.

Trying to find time to continue work on something a bit more polished but it is not ready. This is my response in another thread, either ctrl+f my un or "-2" and you will see response to similar query.

Idea is "so obviously crazy", mentioning it publicly for several months and begging people to consider it and work on it has been met with down votes or completely ignoring it. Which means, if you realize it now and start working on it, you will have ~6 (I think less now though) head start as people catch up with it.

Stand back from them. In the immortal words of The Police, "don't stand so close to me." From 3 or 4 feet away most people realize I'm tall but when I stand directly next to them there's zero ability to make eye contact.
It's actually after 15 or more years of generally good behaviour. After the anti-trust case, Microsoft spent a decade under the close supervision of the US DoJ, as well as the supervision of the EU (with an eye to imposing large fines if possible).

I expect it's done things you (and me) don't like in the past 15 years. However, the same goes for Apple, Google, IBM and Oracle. Microsoft hasn't been the least ethical of that lot.

I don't see this case as a particular problem. "People wanting to learn about goats" might actually be in the minority. Most people actually googling that word may in fact be looking for some alternative meaning because someone used it in some other sense and they didn't understand, so they Googled. And then clicked Urban Dictionary, voting it up.

However, there's a particularly interesting case:

in this context, Oracle could make everyone's life easier by waving their magic relicensing wand.

Well, so could the linux developers by relicensing to MIT. That's not much of an argument.

Additionally, I'd still love to see an actual court case with regards to the GPL here. Licensing is always murky, because almost none of it has been tested directly in the courts. Thus the only legal opinions we have are from people who have a vested interest in the outcome one way or another. Let a court solve it once and for all please. In particular, I'd love to have a 100% lock on whether a binary module that links to the kernel is actually a derivative work or not.
Well, just remember that when you're dealing with clandestine agencies like CIA/NSA, they can probably either turn or place an asset in one of Apple's security teams and get access that way. Their evidence collection methods don't have to hold up in court.

> the GPL brigade is getting louder in their intolerance of other licences.

I really don't see much evidence of this, certainly not from the FSF/SFC, who specifically do not discourage use of free licenses that are GPL-compatible, such as the BSD and MIT licenses[0]. The anti-GPL crowd is much more vocal about their distaste for the GPL, especially on forums like HN.

The issue at hand is the use of a license which is not compatible with the GPL. No matter which way you slice it, that's a massive inconvenience to everyone, and pretty much nobody wins as a result.

(As for relicensing, it is literally impossible to change the license of Linux at this point, because the rights are held by thousands of contributors individually (some of whom are dead, and tracking copyright as it passes across estates is a notoriously difficult task[1]). If there's ever going to be a reconciliation between ZFS and Linux, it would require Oracle to relicense ZFS under any one of the many GPL-compatible licenses.)

[0] They do, incidentally, discourage the use of the terms "BSD license" and "MIT license", arguing that those are ambiguous and should be deprecated in favor of "3-clause BSD license" and "X11 license", respectively. But that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand, which is about the use of the actual licenses themselves and the terms they represent, not the names that people use to call them.

[1] Even figuring out if a given book can be reprinted is prohibitively difficult for publishers, and that's with works that only have one single author.

> Would it be possible (read: legal) for someone to modify the ZFS source to be more easily buildable into the Linux kernel, but then distribute it as source code only

Yes and that has been done. The ZFS on Linux[0] distributes a DKMS source package that each user of ZoL uses to build a binary kernel module. DKMS automatically builds the module without manual interaction from the user, similarly to installing a regular binary package.

This is legal but the resulting kernel/zfs module is non-redistributable.

I believe that Bryan Cantrill has stated that it was surprising to the people at Sun when outside parties didn't start incorporating ZFS and other technologies into Linux, because the original intention when the CDDL was written was not to be GPL-incompatible.

Lean back slightly if you have to stand. Also look at someone face on but stand a little sideways and back. I am 6'4" and most people don't notice it until I end up standing over them accidentally, they suddenly comment "WOW you're really tall" and it actually surprises them because I work very hard at not being intimidating. Approaching from the side is good advice and so is making sure people notice other things first.

All the biggest companies or technology are based in the States; Let's be fair and say that the larges number of good programmers are in the States, based on their achievements.

I'm not sure, but I think that on Android resources are restricted in ways that give first priority to Dalvik vs other runtimes. I also suspect Chrome is given priority when it comes to integration with it.
