Almost everything you mentioned does not make any sense.

1. Search is just not hidden in GUI for users, who are not logged in, but these users can still perform search as other people mentioned in comments

2. Github Search is definitely cached

3. It has nothing to do with DDOS. Do you expect Google requires you to sign in in order to prevent DDOS? Moreover, unless Github is totally wall-gardened, there are tons of ways to DDOS the service. I suggest you need to learn how DDOS actually works.

Wow, the C++ AI linked at https://github.com/nneonneo/2048-ai is really well written.

I've often wondered about this. How can there be no liability? And yes, I'm sure that there are usage terms buried somewhere. But warning people that you may attack them doesn't absolve you from criminal charges and/or civil liability.

You can leave out the 'potentially'. I shut down a file sharing service specifically for that reason, it is just about impossible not to become a vector for the transmission of illegal or objectionable content. DMCA does not cover it, because the DMCA is about copyright, not about content that is illegal to possess regardless of how you got it. That said, the police (at least, the police here) is more than happy to work together with you to help keep the CP peddlers out but it's a losing battle, there are a very large number of them and you'll be hard pressed to work 24/7 all year long and since you can upload encrypted files you can't be sure of what's being transferred anyway.

Which is a good thing, after all what is being uploaded is strictly speaking none of my business but it automatically makes you complicit in roughly the same way that running a TOR exit node will make you complicit and I don't want any part of that. I'm perfectly ok with setting up useful services at very little or no fees at all but I refuse to become an unwitting and unwilling partner in other peoples illegal dealings.

Which is a pity.

This is my pet hate. There are too many places which require a phone number and won't take no for an answer. Some of them you can lie to, entering something that's obviously invalid like 0, but others do rigourous validation and simply won't let you enter something that's not a phone number (Google Play is an offender here). I usually end up entering 012345678, but that's actually a valid UK number, and I don't like doing that. But you have to wonder about any online form which requires you to lie to complete...

Systems Engineering – A General Perspective
How a Country’s Land Shapes Its Language
Here in Sweden, people have a debit card or use a debit app. Most people here easily get through life without a credit card.

While I don't think it's true that "most westerners can't imagine not having a credit card", I don't have a sense of how much other Western countries use credit cards as compared to debit-based systems. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/5380718.stm from 2006 says that UK has the most credit card debt of any European country. "The average British resident owes £3,175") while "The average European owed just £1,558 in unsecured debt."

The more recent http://www.thepennyhoarder.com/how-does-our-credit-card-debt... from 2012 says:

> Most other countries tend to be more cautious with their credit, opting instead to use debit cards (like in the UK and France) or online bank transfers (like in Germany) rather than to charge up a card. And when it comes to charges calculated per year, Europe makes us look like we spend with abandon; French people charge less than $300 each on their credit cards each year, on average. And Germans seem to eschew the “buy now, pay later” mentality as well, only charging an average of $158 per person per year to their credit cards.

That makes it seem like credit card use and debt more a US issue than a more generally Western issue.

The BIOS has some flash memory. Various devices have flashable firmware. If the machine is on the network, storage could be remote. Maybe the attacker plugged a flash drive into a USB port. Maybe the attacker left a bluetooth-accessible device nearby.

Or the attacker could just use the hard drive. Pick a random block. Chances are decent the corruption won't be noticed anytime soon, especially if the block is, say, at the end of the ext4 journal, which was probably clean at shutdown anyway.

2. No disagreement that searching for the same thing can be cached. But that's not the problem. Search for "banana" "banana 2" "banana 3", etc. It's very simple for a botnet to hit a search function like this with unlimited variance, making it impossible to cache against.

3. You think that Github and Google receive the same revenue benefits from providing a free search?

This incident was treated as a crime, which is progress as up until recently the attitude would be to roll back to a known good backup and keep going, albeit with some recent data lost. The idea of getting the FBI or police involved would not be thinkable, plus they would not take the incident seriously as a 'crime'. So in that way there is progress with this story.

Once this route has been taken it is a simple matter of closing down the system and suspending all the schools until things are fixed. There probably was a realisation at this stage that they no longer had means of taking a paper based register or students familiar with how that works.

Does anyone have any guesses as to what the software is like? Is it one of those Visual Basic things rather than a modern web interface?

Child abuse exists in the world, among tech founders, politicians, Amish, atheists, etc. I am simply saying, based on direct interaction and knowledge that it is most certainly uncommon in Lancaster Amish.

Oh. Reminds me of that one time, where some jerk went all wise on me, by picking individual words from my post then responding "strong words".

On the surface, I was the angry stampede, and he was the voice of reason. Except he didn't seem to notice that my "strong words" tended to cancel each other (some of the words he cited actually restricted the scope of the others).

It's like the tone is more important than the message. Can't people read, before they take offence to surface details? I hope this is a loud minority problem.

Lesson learned: thou shalt not use strong words, even to express a fair and balanced position. What a mess.

Do you understand how search works?
Love the idea. But the link always leads to a page with the file on it, not the file itself. Specially for picture sharing that's not really acceptable for me.
There are a lot of sites like this. The only thing that's sorta neat about this file is that the filesize limit is so high. Getting around the size limit is fairly easy by using split or something similar so that's not too big of a deal.

Others that come to mind are pomf.se clones like 1339.cf or comfy.moe and nekuneku's current site, uguu.se. Many paste services could also be used to achieve the same result, ix.io and sprunge.us come to mind.
Borrowing money for a depreciating asset doesn't make much sense in any case. It's not just the extra cost, but additional exposure to risk. Life sometimes throws curve balls, and being leveraged can make the consequences much steeper.
It's not as simple as 2 threads per core, the amount of performance gains of hyper-threading are dependent on the application you're running afaik.
It can't work with gradient descent, which requires about 16 bits of precision. The problem is the gradients are small, and so are rounded down to zero. Then when added together they get zero, even though the number should be higher.

However it's been shown this can be solved by using stochastic rounding. But I believe that would require specialized hardware to implement. I'm not sure.
Guy, you're wrong. You can keep arguing, but that won't change reality.

Search isn't removed for non-logged in users, it's just hidden, which makes your ddos point moot.
VPN are a thing.

I recommend just installing cjdns and forwarding the home end. It also encrypts your traffic. You wouldn't want to netcat in cleartext over the internet.
Then one should get a couple of elastic search clusters, one for the guest users to hammer and DDoS and one for the authenticated users.

Not only does this make the search cheaper and easier for the guests (just an index of public repos, so no permissions involved), it makes it easier to continue offering search to authenticated users whilst being able to mitigate L7 DDoS on the authenticated search (just block the users involved in the attack).

Besides, there is a huge SEO benefit to having a searchable and discoverable interface, and a huge attention retention benefit to keeping users on your site to search once they have arrived there. On top of that, Github understand their data structures better than a search engine so it's easier to tune complex searches just for a codebase, or blog, or issue.

There's really no benefit to hiding search, and having written many community generated content sites the only reason I would hide search is as a stepping-stone to making the content part of a walled garden.

It's fairly inevitable Github will want to do this, I imagine they're looking at the number of users who are not signed-in or on free accounts as yet to be monetised. They would want more activity data to make arguments for advertising, or recruitment monetisation, or plan up-sell, etc.

That's where this makes sense, as a way to gather more user habit data.

Absolutely, that's why we managed to get something that worked, despite being at least six times as few people who also had to work on other projects :-). Redox is an order of magnitude more complex, because it's trying to solve problems that are an order of magnitude more complex. I just want to dispel some of the "black magic" air around these things.

> Side note. I'm peripherally gaining information on doing 8- or 16-bit software for microcontrollers. Hell, I even have some docs (and maybe HDL source) on a 1-bitter although with 8-bit ALU. Do you have any resources I can give to new people showing the tricks people use to reliably do complex or fast stuff with them? SymbOS would probably be high-end of that but I intend to use them in peripheral controllers, monitoring, and such.

You mean re. digital design, or microcontroller software?

If it's the latter, I'm not sure what to recommend... most of what I know is stuff that every programmer knows + experience you get out of working on embedded devices (and, of course, failing a lot). Fundamentally, programming these devices is no different than programming other computing devices (save, perhaps, for the Harvard architecture, but that's fairly inconsequential), you just work based on other assumptions regarding what's acceptable in terms of failure, performance degradation and so on.

I guess related resources that might help a lot would be:

* Jean Labrosse has a series on his uC/OS kernels. I think the latest is uC/OS-III. I haven't read it, but Labrosse's work in general is extraordinary, so this book may be what you're looking for.

* If you don't mind Ada, Building Parallel, Embedded, and Real-Time Applications with Ada is a pretty good book on the subject, too. I've skimmed it and at least the aspects related to reliability are well-treated.

* If you haven't already read it, van der Linden's "Expert C Programming" is still a very good read. I don't doubt that languages such as Rust and Go are the future for programming higher-end systems, but I don't see C going away on the lower-end in the next 10-15 years, and frankly, I don't think Rust solves too many of the problems I encounter on these systems.

* For dealing with resource-constrained systems in general, Bitsavers.org has exceptional stuff, but it requires some digging and extrapolation. Old computers are a semi-serious hobby of mine -- it's fun, but I also learned a lot of interesting things from studying old systems.

Good recommendations may come from Ganssle's (www.ganssle.com) Embedded Muse, too.

Oh, speaking of which...

However, adblockers also block Piwik and other FOSS analytic solutions.

The argument is that it's trivial for sites to share and network their results, building up a profile and effectively tracking users across sites. It completely sucks because 99.99% of people with Piwik are not doing so, are not tracking, are not delivering spam, or ads and just want to know how people are using their site.

$5-$10k is about the amount of money employer spends for H1B paperwork processing, so that's about right.

I don't really know what kind of browser they want to make, but if I would make one, I'd add some p2p networking on it, like IPFS or a minimalist databse that runs on a DHT. The end goal would be to have your data hosted and automatically spread on clients, instead of servers. Currently I can't really name a p2p platform which has some usable interface, where you can share content like the web allows it. There is zeronet, but I'm still waiting for a browser all in one package to make it usable.

p2p is the future... (and don't tell me about websockets, they're not true p2p)

Cool story bro. Guess you were on a very early dropbox beta.
I was banging my head against this earlier last week. It was such a jarring change to visit GitHub and not be able to navigate. It gives me pause to see how suddenly an easily-navigable site can become almost impenetrable with the removal of a single search bar. What are they thinking? The "Explore" menu is worse than useless, too.

It is an interesting case study in UX - the difference between a great experience and an awful one can come down to a single, well placed search box.

What is GitHub's rationale behind this jarringly awful, blatantly bad decision?

The comments here have a number of various negative stereotypes of the Amish. These are probably all based on factual events, but I doubt they are as negative as we perceive.

Do a thought exercise and reverse roles. Imagine you live in a highly conservative rural community and you wanted to make a negative documentary about the modern american lifestyle. There would be no shortage of truthful material to make us seem totally depraved.

Often I find my Amish neighbors are more accepting of us and our strange lifestyle and we are of theirs.
