I have this idea in my head that one of the niche communities in fifty years will be people who trawl through discarded mass storage devices: cobbling together hardware fixes, undeleting files, and scanning them to see whether they contain anything interesting, like cached pages of lost websites, photos containing the faces of celebrities but from decades before they were famous, troves of old corporate emails, and so on.

Bit of a nitpick, but ELF binaries are not used "only in Linux". OS X (Mach) and Windows (PE) are really quite exceptional here.

System V R4, HP-UX, NetBSD, Linux, Solaris, AIX, IRIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenVMS, QNX, Syllable, MINIX, BeOS/Haiku, RISC OS, GP2X, Dreamcast, Gamecube, PSX, PS2, PS3 (maybe NetBSD or FreeBSD ish), PS4(based on FreeBSD), AmigaOS 4, Morph OS, AROS, Open Firmware, and probably a whole bunch of other systems use ELF binaries.

Plenty of room to grow in this market also. This same app could facilitate getting paid. Or timekeeping for the folks hiring the day laborers.

When we think about SV perhaps going through a downturn, we must remember that there are still hundreds or thousands of opportunities to write apps to help the extremely poor and vulnerable. This is great territory for app-writers who have teams of 1,2, or 3 -- but it'd make no sense at all to pursue if you were an established startup with a ton of overhead.
Okay, but this validation happens instead of opening the help dialog. Whatever event triggers there eats the button click.

When typing an incorrect input, the first place a user will go to fix it is the help. It's a bit of a catch-22 when the help button will only help you after you fix your typos.
I agree, and I think it's a win/win/win. Employees get a nice moral boost and get to pad their finances a bit, the CEO enables a long term bet on a future substantial gain of his preexisting position in $LNKD equity, and both sides get to feel that this was a nice gesture of good faith.

Even with the potential personal gain, imo there isn't much to criticize here. It's not like a majority shareholder getting a one time special dividend (I'm looking at you, PE funds) or something obviously sinister like that.
That's kind of like saying that public key encryption is pointless because quantum computers (which we don't have, yet) would allow you to break it. As of the current state of the art, letting a cloud service operate on your data requires you to give them a readable copy of that data, and (this was my main point) SaaS companies have an incentive to make their terms and conditions as intrusive as possible.

And just wait until you find out about Harvard architecture[1] CPUs that don't have a stack in the same sense that C has a stack—they generally have a call stack that is only manipulated implicitly by JSR and RET style instructions. It doesn't co-mingle return addresses with stack variables, like x86 (and von Neumann architecture[2] CPUs).

That's exactly my thought. It's like a submarine way to rat people out. You hook them on one pretext and then you can turn around and sell the data to the IRS so they can get the tax cheats and on the other hand sell data to ICE to get people who jump in front of the immigration line in trouble. Win win win, for them, lose for the cheaters, and the cheated.

It's a pointless neverending cycle of shit and you would do well to break it, as would we all.

Great, so your advice is if I can use a device that is a few years old, I just have to buy the latest version of $BRANDED_PRODUCT. Developers can actively support or resist this wasteful practice. It seems pretty clear where you stand on this.
The software industry is relatively young and there are no standardized job titles with well defined skill/experience levels. Based on my own experience over the last 25 years, working with many programmers, is to ignore the official title and bucket people according to the following observations.

Junior Developer
- Needs to be managed everyday or at least most days.
- Has a narrow view of their job, its all about the code.
- Spends most of their time thinking about how to write code at the level of individual functions.
- Regularly gets stuck and needs technical input.

Regular Developer
- Needs to be managed once per week.
- Writing actual code has become automatic.
- Thinks about designing whole modules of code.
- Considers trade-offs/code patterns/best practice.
- Occasionally gets stuck and needs input.

Senior Developer
- Only needs managing occasionally.
- Thinks about the business problem being solved.
- Managing expectations and requirements is hardest part of job.
- Helps solve problems of Junior/Regular developers.
Another difference is the legal regime. The U.S. makes much more extensive use of the courts as a tool for balancing interests, and an indirect way of regulating industries, which makes projects much slower, riskier, and more expensive.

In a country like France, you can't normally sue to stop a nuclear plant being built. Once the government decides to build it, they have sovereign immunity from suits in their own courts. So if you don't want it, you can agitate for the government to stop it, but you can't sue the project to stop it (or at least, there are many fewer ways to do so). The U.S. by contrast has waived its own sovereign immunity in a lot of cases, setting up a more decentralized decision-making process where the legislature passes general laws, agencies like the DOE and EPA are delegated rule-making authority, and courts then adjudicate disputes. The multiple levels of government (federal agencies, state agencies, federal courts, state courts) add another complication.
Is there some more documentation on how msys2 relates to mingw somewhere? I recently came across msys2 when half-heartedly trying to compile Darktable[1] for windows 10.

As far as I can tell, msys2 is still posix/GNU for windows, with alternate shell (bash, not powershell etc) and alternate filesystem (posix/gnu-like)? While mingw is/was gnu/posix binaries for windows.

Both have their place -- but I'd be really happy if something akin to msys2 was available more like mingw -- so I could use the (now finally quite usable) standard windows command line along with (hopefully) MS compilers and have some hope of compiling stuff that uses automake etc.

As far as I can figure out, msys2 doesn't (try to) help with that? It's more like a GNU chroot that runs under windows? In which case most/many use-cases might be better served with a vm under VirtualBox/hyper-v[2] and/or a true "native" windows port?

Not meant as criticism of the project, I'm just trying to figure out if I've understood the focus of msys2 correctly.

Finally, for those wishing for "more GNU" on windows, one of the most pleasant discoveries I've made, is the scoop package manager:

By Comey's argument, manufacturers shouldn't put authentication in the devices as that's the FBI's responsibility?

Makes you wonder, are musical tastes subjective?
At some point I was messing around with writing a toy VM and the choice of co-mingling return addresses and what where the functions arguments felt weird to me so I split them into two different stacks. It actually worked out. I mean it meant I diverged from the book I was using to do this but that was part of the fun to see which parts were simpler and which parts were more complicated in my design.

This was the book I used in case folks are curious http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783642149085.

Msys2 is a fantastic project with a lot of packages. It saved the day when compiling H3D and even Hugin.

It is a pitty it cannot build latest Abiword/Gnumeric yet. But we have Cygwin for this.

In any case it is a very serious addition to Windows ecosystem and people should start rethinking using Visual Studio which provides no pre-compiled libraries or package management.

However, one ca get a descent alternative development environment by using

msys2/tdm-x64 and fedora precompiled packages.

It's awkward because CSS offers no good way to talk about the relationship between two things (it's very much 'one thing at a time'), whereas relationships between things are pretty much all layout is about.

I try to avoid it because its such a tease trying to get it just load up. To put things into perspective it's faster to load up Facebook with a web browser and just chat with that than to load the Mac Slack app.

It's cool they have those funky loading messages but its just too slow.

Might point out im in Australia and latency is a bit higher. I noticed the same thing in a few African countries.

While latency is higher by a hundred or so milliseconds the loading time is significantly slower. This too on a line that is 99.4%+ better than the average.

It is badly engineered. I had a look at the inner workings and first off they use a web app in a native wrapper, second their websocket negotiation process has a lot of going back and forth just to get started.
This approach to webdev (continuations) could be so cool. I just wish there was a framework on the level of django/rails so that I could feel comfortable using it for a large product.

This just verifies a long standing popular idea that bad life and continuous emotional distress causes cancer.

We could see more evidence about this.

Divorce/family infighting chronic sadness (not depression) / work excessive anxiety and work unstable conditions should be seen as cancer causing factors.

These factors also maintain cancerous smoking or drinking addictions and limit daily exercise.

It's not just minimum time between shifts. People fall apart from jet lag if the shifts happen randomly. This increases workplace accidents and lowers productivity.

Some places require by law that there are 11 hours between shifts. To avoid jet lag, add the requirement that 11 hours of downtime happen at the same time every day, in UTC or otherwise ignoring daylight saving time. This applies even on days when employees do not work. For example, a Monday-to-Friday daytime worker needs the 11 hour downtime scheduled on Saturday night even though he works neither Saturday nor Sunday.

To move that 11-hour downtime to some other part of the day, there are two approaches. One approach is adjust by half an hour each day. The downtime becomes 11.5 hours (a half hour is added on one side or the other) and then back to 11 hours (a half hour is removed from the other side). The other approach is a brutal sudden shift, but giving several days off for recovery.
I've read that the shielding is a small part of it (enviro temperature fluctuation can be hundreds of degrees) but the biggest factor is the process is around 65nm or much, much larger to help prevent radiation from accidentally toggling gates.

They are very constrained in terms of available power - and under-clocked if you wish. The radios I believe consume most of the power. The multiple redundancy / failover nature of every circuit including RAM, CPU stack/heap, etc. also bites into the power budget which slows things down. On some space and extraterrestrial vehicles just about everything is double-computed on separate circuits and compared for exactness, and can be compared with results on an earth-based system for accuracy.

I'm sure some readers here can explain some of these features in more depth.

> This almost sounds like Comey sees this as some sort of turf war, with Apple infringing on his responsibilities. I'm not sure how to interpret that

On the contrary, he showed a good deal of respect for Apple and praised them as a company on numerous occassions. The article characterises it as a "conciliatory tone" which is the correct interpration. I believe this is the best way forward for the FBI and the government.

It's not a turf war. It's just a characterization of the two. Apple employees come into work and think about usability, product design, security and similar problems. FBI employees come into work thinking about counter-terrorism, public safety and intelligence.

Painting Apple as unpatriotic will result in a consumer backlash and make this an Apple vs FBI debate and pit them head-to-head against the most powerful brands in the world. The debate is shifting to "public security vs privacy" instead of Apple vs FBI, which is how a lot of the consumers and Apple fans see this right now.

I rather enjoyed hearing Comey's responses and found Bruce Sewell to lack the same maturity and preparedness. However, I do not empathize with any of Comey's views (interpretation of All Writs Act, privacy vs public security) and neither should anyone else.

FPGAs are a way to avoid stacks too. E.g use c\ash to convert Haskell to a circuit.
It does sound like a threat at the end. He's basically saying, "you don't want to give us a new bill? Okay, we'll write a one-sided one, and you're going to hate it, but too bad because all you wanted to do was debate and discuss the issue".

He sounds like he has already made up his mind, is in a rush, and does not want to engage in debate. He already agrees with the DOJ and nothing is going to change his mind.

It is unreasonable for him to expect Apple to propose legislation before even one congressional hearing on the issue is complete.

Even after one hearing we can't expect the public and Congress expect to be so informed on the implications of curtailing encryption that they should be prepared to legislate on the issue.

Sensenbrenner claims Apple is saying "No no no" but in reality he is the one doing the censure. Apple has repeatedly said they're willing to discuss the issue in public.

Not really. Plenty of people live in areas with radon producing rocks in the ground, or where altitude causes higher exposures. Long-lived waste emits less radiation than short-lived. If people are fine in Guarapari, they would be fine on top of Hanford in 5,000 years.

I don't know of how many completely uninhabited deserts there are in the United States that aren't protected as national or state parks. In addition, how do you transport nuclear waste to the desert, especially from long distances? Nobody wants a truck carrying nuclear waste around. The biggest issue is that I don't think anyone at the federal, state, or congressional representative level would volunteer or accept putting nuclear waste close to their constituencies.

In GitS, tachikomas have inboard brains, but each night they dump all their memories and experiences into a central database. All tachikomas learn from each single unit's experience, and each unit learns from the experience of all the others.

In January 2016, the United States Department of Energy announced a $80m award fund to develop Generation IV reactor designs.[19] One of the two beneficiaries, Southern Company will use the funding to develop a Molten Chloride Fast Reactor (MCFR), a type of MSR developed earlier by British scientists.[16]
