Podcast Discovery is an alternative mechanism for finding developer podcasts and podcast episodes that you are interested in. Instead of going the subscription route, users can simply search for a topic, podcaster, keyword, technology or guest they are interested in and discover new podcasts and episodes in a clean, simple UI. There are hundreds of developer podcasts and thousands of episodes indexed by the site so chances are that in addition to finding what you are looking for, you'll also discover something new.

Podcast Discovery is still in beta so fixes and other features such as better playback controls and a content based recommendation engine are in the works.
Author here: We considered that but as the access pattern was likely pretty much random, the performance would have been terrible. Due to the break we had nearly a 1000 clustered servers sitting idle so it was reasonably quick to do the ramdisk trick.
I don't really care about "It's Just Text" vs "Data Typing FTW." There are different tradeoffs at play here, and to my mind that's ok. I'm just thrilled to have something that's:
- Internally consistent
- Well documented
- Available by default
- Full featured
- Still being improved

Sure, I'm not thrilled with having to learn another language to get anything done. But it's so much better than what came before that I don't care. Besides, Bash and friends certainly have their quirks as well.
Thank you for the explanation. Can you provide a citation that antitrust law applies only to Trusts?

To answer your question though, I was thinking of the accusation that Microsoft leveraged the Windows market position to promote Internet Explorer.

It still seems that (if a monopoly) Github's behavior could be covered by the "essential facilities" section. However both whether Github is a monopoly and whether their behaviour would be covered seem very fuzzy, and I suggest we leave that discussion to the lawyers!

Legally, why couldn't you sue the government directly?

Ianal, but isn't the US government (via the FBI's court proceedings) publicly stating they have access to / have used a vulnerability actionable in some way?

If this were done in private that would be one thing, but they've now gone on the record as saying a usable vulnerability exists.
Wait, I'm more likely to be color blind because of my ethnicity? Well that's interesting...

EDIT: The article says "Arabs (Druzes)". So, if they're specifying the Druze ethnicity, does that have any implications for Arabs in general?
I don't disagree with anything you said. All I am saying is that the current "Concourse vs.." page does not really achieve anything.

People who like Jenkins will read it and say "Meh", while people who have already switched to Concourse (like you) don't need to read it in the first place.

You're not going to make any significant profit mining bitcoin on a desktop CPU, or any "normal" CPU for that matter.

If we assume 5 seconds of CPU time per comment, that's ~17k per day or ~500k per month. The first captcha solving service I found sells 100k solved captchas for $139, so that's about $700 for 500k. As a spammer, I could probably post 5 to 10 times more comments for the same amount of money using your system. This is obviously a very rough estimate, but it should get my point across.

Yep. Technically the request included recursive rename, and to avoid renaming directories, but gosh that's not hard:

dir -rec -file | rni –newname { $_.name –replace "_"," " }

Edit: Oops, request did not include recursive, the original sample solution did.

FWIW top Google results for "unix recursively rename files" give below solutions (slightly different scenarios but you get the idea). Not particularly shorter, or less cryptic:

find . -iname "*dbg*" -exec rename _dbg.txt .txt '{}' \;

shopt -s globstar nullglob
rename _dbg.txt .txt **/*dbg*

I generate PDFs of my important OneNote notebooks, and I backup the file. It is not a complicated file format to have to worry about not having access to it for the data in future. Plain text is great and simple, but no drawings, mindmaps, photos, vector art, etc... which I can use in OneNote. My note-taking, journaling is more rich with the multimedia content. I used to use a TiddlyWiki, but I love using my Sony Vaio Flip 15 and pen to doodle, handwrite, or make lists.
I find myself divided on this article, as a person who values security very strongly.

1. If the vulnerability the FBI used worked because the device was an iPhone without a secure enclave, Apple probably knows how they did it, but they can't really fix devices that have already shipped without the security features. While this obviously hurts users of those phones, every phone going forward won't have this issue, and this won't be replicable on a mass scale.

2. Because this was a vulnerability that was found, not intentionally created, there is a high likelihood that the bug will be found again by security researchers, or at the very least paid for handsomely by Apple. This isn't necessarily true (Heartbleed existed for 2 years without being noticed), but it means that the vulnerability has a timetable that rapidly closes. This is far different from an _introduced_ backdoor/vulnerability, where Apple knows exactly what can be used to get into a device, but has their hands tied by the government, which would _unilaterally_ make our phones less secure. I don't like buying a door lock if I know there's a master key that can open any of the doors of that brand.

3. The author I feel is misleading when he says things like "A vulnerability in Windows 10, for example, affects all of us who use Windows 10". Even if a piece of software has a vulnerability, that vulnerability could perhaps only be exploitable under certain conditions, like software running on certain hardware (eg: without a secure enclave), or under certain conditions (passcodes of less than 4 digits). It also can be highly theoretical or impractical to do on any sort of scale -- if the vulnerability involves reading data off a hard drive using an electron microscope to check for magnetic signatures, I'm not going to be too worried that it will be abused, as the man hours to have it work for a single case would be astronomical and only feasible in the most extreme circumstances.

It's probably very frustrating on Apple's part that the FBI found a vulnerability that they (likely) don't know about, and in an ideal world, governments would disclose those vulnerabilities to make us more secure. But as long as the software and hardware continue to get more secure and not intentionally crippled, any benefit they derived feels short lived at best.
This narrative gets repeated time and time again, and it really doesn't hold up to even surface debate:

- Google TI and Cloud merged. Same teams. Per Urs Holzle in Jan2014

- Just last week Sundar (CEO), Eric Schmidt (chairman), Jeff Dean, Urs Holzle, and Diane were on stage talking about how they spent $10 billion last year investing in infrastructure and how serious Google is about cloud (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgWHeT_OwHc&list=PLIivdWyY5s...)

- In many cases, publically available technologies are actually replacing internal technologies (BigQuery and Dremel, Dataflow and FlumeJava/Millwheel for example).

- Disney, Coca Cola, Snapchat, Spotify, Home Depot are just some of the customers running on Google Cloud. It'd be very foolish to abandon these.

- If you watch the day two GCP NEXT keynote, you'll see how Google is the cloud leader in environmental responsibility and open source. We're the good guys :) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axhdIa_co2o&list=PLIivdWyY5s...)

Varnish is actually difficult to use for POST requests unless you know C and can tweak the existing vmods. I just came off the same basic requirements and ended up going with Nginx (OpenResty) with Lua & Redis.
I had similar progression when I switched to Gentoo in 2007. I would boot into windows maybe every 3 months, and it was always a hassle with the security updates. Wiped out the partition after a couple of years of checking into windows maybe once every 6 months.
I think so. Cygwin is good enough to use UNIX tools in Windows. But maybe they will support better packages than Cygwin.
Perhaps the database administrator chose the unique keys (observer_id, subjective_observer_time).

Then, the (t,x,y,z) coordinates could all be parametric functions of observer_id and subjective_observer_time. If you follow a CTC and meet your younger self, then convince your younger self to not follow the CTC, you may simply be reassigning your younger self to a new observer_id, rather than creating a paradox that destroys the database integrity.

As long as all observers obey the rules of causality locally, your elder time-twin will never remember meeting their own elder time-twin, and your younger time-twin will never remember not meeting their own elder time-twin. The CTC has no way of knowing whether anyone ever followed it or not, because it isn't an observer. So if you ever meet yourself, you're no longer meeting yourself, because the person you meet is from that moment no longer you. If you do anything at all within the past half of your own light cone that interrupts causality, you are just creating a new observer.

So the photograph doesn't change itself, like in Back to the Future. Marty can't erase himself, but he could erase all references to himself from the historical record, except for whatever he carried through the CTC. He could then take a DNA test that proves him without a doubt to be the child of two people who cannot recall ever even touching one another. Even if he mostly restores causality, upon reversing through another CTC to a time before he entered the first CTC, there will be a different third child of his parents living with them when he gets back--someone who might not ever traverse a CTC.

If that's how it works, time travelers could do no worse than completely erase themselves from all historical records and the memories of every living person. They would be considered people who never previously existed, who spontaneously appeared, complete with memories of future events that might never come to pass. In that case, almost anything even remotely plausible could come out of either end of a CTC.

This question weighs to powershell's side, and I wouldn't call it fair (and not just because I don't know powershell), but I'll bite.

Print all files in package: `dpkg -L <package name>` (for Debian based OSes)

Filter executable commands: ` | grep 'bin/.'` (assuming the package adheres to standards)

Check parameters of command: `<command> --help` (again, assuming the developers have adhered to convention)

Of course, if one needs to check multiple commands, one will have to use a loop. (Which is basic programming, isn't it?).
Fair enough! Simply subtract that clause from the sentence and I think you'll still find an effective treatment for burnout.
Honest question(not trolling, I swear):

Is it me, or is dealing with Stripe, or any HTTP API in javascript more of a pain in the ass, with it's asynchronous model and callbacks, than other languages? I much rather deal with and API in say...Ruby, than JS.
This is awesome. My guess, is that they will also integrate building Linux applications with Visual Studio. See https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/11/18/announcin...

for an example of how to debug using gdb in Visual Studio. Having an integrated Linux environment, would make this support seamless. Then Visual Studio becomes the cross-platform hub for building code for Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.

> I do not believe governments (especially ones engaged in clandestine surveillance operations) have an obligation to share security vulnerabilities with companies.

So I take it then you don't believe in a government "for the people"? Like it or not, Apple is legally a person, and even tossing that aside, we know that many of Apple's customers are American citizens, and this whole idea of "keeping knowledge from you for your own good" just reeks of the patronizing oligarchy that the US government has become known for.

Lest you jump to the argument that this would endanger operations, I would still point out two very salient facts: this information is not intelligence data, and as Schneier pointed out, this attack can be used against many in the US government, including FBI agents in the field. Getting it fixed is the right thing to do.
great read! Recommended!
> And now, Apple is in panic mode, slowly realizing that they went from being the hero of privacy in the modern age to the company that wasn't able to secure its phone from the FBI. From the FBI. Of all things.

> No wonder they are freaking out and they want to know how the FBI did it.

Not really sure how you reached that conclusion, as there wasn't even a single quote from an Apple employee or legal representative in the article. The only quote even related to the FBI giving the exploit method to Apple is from the product counsel at AVG Technologies.

So how exactly is Apple "freaking out"?
I think it would be idea for you to state that they approved the post of the article.
With the many parameters, the normal equations will become large. In that case, can consider solving the equations with the old iterative method Gauss-Seidel.
Thus cementing the "no convenience" clause. I understand this is an acceptable tradeoff for some people (myself included) but you can't pretend it's convenient.

Given how much corruption is revealed in wikileaks maybe less privacy is not a bad trade off.

What amaze me is the tendency for our society to call for more privacy that favors the more powerful, hence the more likely to be corrupted.

If we want make it easy for our leaders to be corrupted I definitively would call for more cryptography.

Me except the normal "shameful" stuff from the common people I want privacy to. Like anyone I have stuff I want to hide. But, it is okay if I get _caught_. I will not say everything I did is okay, because, I still have hurt indirectly people. There are stuff I want to hide to protect myself from the intolerant crowd.

But guess what, I have as much as I could went to present my excuses, and took responsibility for my own shitty actions. And for the stuff I should not be ashamed of, I don't see the need to hide it, in a democracy we have the freedom to fight for our opinions.

None of my stupid stuff requiring privacy have been leading to blood being shed, exploitation, or making the market noncompetitive.

With greater power/wealth should come greater transparency. And iPhone are definitively more expensive than most phones.

So let's remember that is often the look from the others that makes us more virtuous, and let us all accept to live in an house made of glass (except for the bathroom, and the bedrooms).

In a fair competitive market access to information is symmetrical. In a real democracy government are expected to be openly enforcing the choices of the voters.

In a world tending towards virtue, there is no need for more privacy.
I think the implication of the article is that pure fashion (i.e. clothes) tend to lead to adaption, and over time we feel less-happy about them. But plastic surgery seems to provide longer-lasting satisfaction (perhaps because in our heads, a change to our actual bodies is deeper and more satisfying than a new pair of shoes.)
Npm global export import
Well the burden of the proof lies with the person that states something as a fact. What is the title of that blog post again ? Right. now let the author show you the proof. If he doesn't know then he shouldn't talk about something like it is a fact. The only fact in this whole debacle is that the FBI has been caught lying again,again and again. So they were lying then and people should believe them now ?
I really think that the importance of all that extra stuff is massively overstated. I do a large amount of browsing while in incognito mode without being signed in to a Google account and I have NEVER been able to pass one of the new reCAPTCHAS with just a click. I have to complete a challenge every time.

Conversely, while signed into my gmail account I get passed through immediately, regardless of whether I click the box or tab into it and hit space.
Ok. So there's something that compels them all to call it "Scheduled Tasks" and some unified way to find/navigate to it, shared language/terminology? Seems doubtful.

Compare the typical results for a Google search on how to add a scheduled task in windows to the same for linux. For the UI oriented answers on Linux, guess the chances it works on your desktop.
They were willing to hand over the phone to Apple and allow all work to take place on Apple premises. How does that affect other phones?
I see, good point, but then I'd expect the cost of JIT compilation would still have a performance cost? As opposed to Objective-C being compiled before distribution to the client?

So there's a use case difference. I create models from remote data sources - this is incremental on a daily basis and takes quite a bit of time.

So I snapshot the workspace after I do a run and do some experiments. Now - for me, saving the workspace is a convenience feature, NOT a programming feature.

This is what I mean by thou-shall-not. My use case is very well defined and I'm not stupid. And I completely knows the pitfalls of what you talk about - but a philosophical opposition is what hurts me (and lots of devs like me)

> How do you determine if a vulnerability was there because it was overlooked in development, or if it was there because the government demanded it from the company but used the law to impose a gag order on the company preventing the public from finding out about it?

You don't; but that's possible today with the way the gag orders and FISA courts work. That's a real problem around transparency in our legal system; which IMO is a different issue from transparency around security issues relating to privately-developed products.
Is any media site doing a "live blog" of this? Similar to what Mac Rumours do for Apple?

> I respect Bruce and he's done a ton of great work, but I obviously disagree with him on this point. I do not believe governments (especially ones engaged in clandestine surveillance operations) have an obligation to share security vulnerabilities with companies.

Interesting. What obligations do governments have? On the one hand we have government agencies (the CPA, e.g.) whose entire function is to protect consumers from bad products and marketing. On the other hand there's the many regulatory and standards bodies, which are to ensure orderly marketplaces and discourage anti-competition. Then there's an agency that protects the environment, one that administers health, education....yet there's no obligation to disclose security vulnerabilities? Hmmppf. I'm stumped.
What is MVC in practice?
The Battle Against Global Corruption
I have to respectfully disagree here. There are bugs in iOS, iPhones and pretty much everything. It would be naive and foolish to think that any electronic device you use doesn't have bugs.

It would also be remiss to think that people aren't looking for the vulnerabilities, people like Stefan Esser have plenty of research documenting the security mechanisms and flaws in iOS, and in the hardware. People have crawled over the hardware and software documenting everything, looking for bugs. People have bugs we haven't heard about because they put the time in to go down the avenues that lead nowhere in order to find them. The people that would find these bugs have a deep knowledge and understanding of the internals of the devices in question, and some suspicion of how they would be applied in this situation. They are not people who would go from zero knowledge to chasing 0day without at least a decent lead as to what the FBI's third party did.

The thing is, the FBI are not obligated to hand over their bugs, nor are the third party. It's the third party's trick, they found it, if they want to keep it it's their right to do so.

Asserting that somehow because someone has specific 0day (designed to bypass unlocks when the phone is in their physical possession for an extended period of time) and doesn't want to share makes us all less secure is incredibly ingenuous and a logical fallacy at best.
>> now there is a commercially-known but secret vulnerability.

Exactly, and not only that, but (potentially) unknown to Apple.
Again, I disagree. Not every website today requires JavaScript, and in fact most websites that cater to the sort of audience that includes Tor users are even less likely to. I don't think anyone sees Tor as a daily driver for general web browsing. It's not much less convenient for the use-cases it's meant to support.
