Hey, this is the author.

The article is not at all marketing our services. It contains a ton of links that are intended to help you adopt BDD and TDD practices.

Tweets like this one back my response up: https://twitter.com/Cunninghambler/status/719608629729607681

I spent a LOT of time researching the data and making sure there are good links for learning.

From [1]:

> In one case, a prominent Dutch CA (DigiNotar) was compromised and the hackers were able to use the CA’s system to issue fake SSL certificates. The certificates were used to impersonate numerous sites in Iran, such as Gmail and Facebook, which enabled the operators of the fake sites to spy on unsuspecting site users.

When this happens as the result of malicious actions (unlike the case FB shows here), what actions can the legitimate site operator do to protect their users from this eavesdropping? Presumably you could contact the CA and get the revocation. But even if the CRL's updated, what is the latency to get the browser's trust store sync'd up? And can't state actors just block CRL updates? Do browsers warn users when the CRL can't be updated (after so many attempts or so much time)?

Could the cold hard truth be that Microsoft's top developers lack the technical expertise to fix a trivial bug in their own software because the code its self is a complete mess?

No, they probably just don't care.
Read more closely. GP didn't say "offshore", it was "private".
Similar feelings here, although I've been married for a number of years. It took me a long time to figure out that "that's just what you do" (dating and marriage) maybe didn't always mean it was the best thing for each individual.

Although relationships are very difficult, I think it's probably beneficial for me to have a wife since she keeps me from entirely isolating myself from all human contact and also creates "excuses" for me to experience things I otherwise wouldn't (like, let's go to this play or that ballgame, where just me I'd never just go myself). Plus we can be there for each as we get older.

I applaud you though for being able to see through social pressure and figure out what you want in life. I think you're right about people not talking about it.
Make sure you have OpenGL off-main-thread composition enabled. I think it's still disabled by default on X11 systems, because they don't trust the drivers yet. Check about:support for "GPU Accelerated Windows".

about:config →
layers.acceleration.force-enabled = true, layers.offmainthreadcomposition.testing.enabled = true,
gfx.xrender.enabled = false.

Also, some "beta quality" features: browser.tabs.remote.autostart = true (e10s multiprocess) + layers.async-pan-zoom.enabled = true (exactly what it says, async scrolling like in Chromium, IIRC it requires e10s).

With all these enabled in stable Firefox on FreeBSD, the experience is excellent.

Lol. <3 closed source code. Even if you want to fix it yourself, you can't.
The collusion part worries me as well. It's not that bad in this case, because the story clearly has value. But journalists in general should avoid colluding with each other at all costs, because it just deepens the divide betwen the media and the public and opens things up to ideological hijacking of the press.

Unfortunately, we've already seen this sort of thing happening.
Where Is Next-Gen Lithography?
That is not coercion. You fundamentally misunderstand (or apparently disagree with) literally all of western philosophy and economic thought if you think that charging rents in a voluntary exchange is 'coercion'.

The simple fact is that, over many thousands of years, humans have evolved a system of voluntary exchange. And we have found that that system produces the greatest benefit for the largest number of people as compared to all other systems we have tried at scale. This means that those with property rent their property to others so that they may live there.

If you don't allow the owners of property to rent their property, then there will be no homes for anyone. If you do not allow people to own property, then property will likely not be put to its most productive use (see: communist russia, china, north korea, etc.).

If you'd like to propose a better system, i'm all ears. But until then, you need to accept the hard reality that there is no better solution for these people, and that an offer like "pay 70% of your income in rent" is something that they have the right to accept.

To suggest that these people are being exploited when they are entering into such an agreement is to suggest that they are incapable of agency, and to deny them the most basic of human rights.
exact query match

You keep saying exact query match, but commenter above used 3 non-consecutive words out of the 12 words in the title, and did not use any sort of quoted search text.

Indeed, it even works with just two words out of the title:

https://www.google.com/search?q=seo+actual

The point being that HN's use of just the id in the URL has a minimal, if any, effect on search ranking.
That is a question that i have asked myself a million times in the past. since there is no solution, my team and I decide to find a solution to our own problem.

The truth is YouTube has just generally evolved to support personal comedy clips and cat videos. Short films are relegated to the back and given little attention.
Yea but that means you have to spend extra money to run a Tor node, again limiting the amount of nodes that people are willing to run. The solution is for more people to run Tor, not fewer. Same with open Wifi nodes, the more the safer.
> Is it worth paying for a course and telling your friends, significant other, random strangers that you are going to learn X, even if that course is only part of learning X, so that you cannot quit because of pride and accountability?

This would kill the initiative for me. As soon as I get excited and tell someone about what awesome thing I am planning to do the likelihood that I will actually complete said thing goes down significantly. A few years ago I saw a TED talk on the topic ("Keep your goals to yourself" by Derek Sivers) and it made perfect sense. Now until I gain enough momentum in a project to feel confident that there's no turning back I just keep it to myself.
I explained (with visible frustration) how it's eminently fair to expect a business to fully fund its obligations. If someone believes that the way this is calculated is unreasonable, then their primary complaint needs to be about that way, not (as every commenter does on this issue) complain about the mere requirement to fund the pension.

A complete argument would look like this: "It's unfair to require the post office to fund future benefits by X standard, when common, reasonable practice is to use more lenient standard is Y."

A complete but stupid argument would have X="include all obligations forever" and Y="ignore stuff after 75 years". This is because post-75 years can have non-trivial implications for its sustainability, and assuming them away does require belief in a bottomless pit.

I'm interested in an exchange of ideas on this issue; I just wish people were capable of presenting a defensible argument about the Post Office pension requirement. Your own argument on the thread [1] does not meet that standard, as it was just "wow, that would be a lot of money". Well, yeah, if you've promised something with a (net discounted present) value of $75 trillion, then yeah, it's gonna be a pain to fund! Why is that an unreasonable requirement that you not just kick the can down the road?

I'd like to hear an intelligent answer to that question. "They hate the Post Office and want it to fail" doesn't count as one.

Wait, you expect a judge to know what a TOR node was? Heck, you expected the police to get it? Please.
They're buying pageviews/traffic for their content. According to Alexa[0], Yahoo is still the 5th-largest site globally and in the US. That's a pretty large amount of traffic. Assuming Wikipedia (at #7) gets ~765M monthly views [1], and Yahoo gets more than that, that's close to a billion monthly page views. Even if they do nothing other than switch out the Yahoo "relevant stories" algorithm to one that features more of their own, they can still extract a decent amount of value from that.

To your other point - as a consumer, I've personally never really enjoyed any Yahoo offering other than Flickr and fantasy sports. However, as a developer, I saw them do a whole lot of great stuff that they never followed through on. YUI [2] was the first UI framework I used, and was great for rapidly prototyping/developing a good-looking UI half a decade before Bootstrap was a thing. Yahoo Pipes [3] was a rather interesting experiment that sadly never really took off. YQL [4] evolved out of that, and is a pretty neat way to API-ify page scraping. I've used it in a couple small projects.

In large localized sites you do it by geography. (E.g. Craigslist, Trulia, Auto Trader, etc) You analyze your traffic, find two geographies that are statistical neighbors and that have sufficient traffic. One is your control, the other is your experiment. Run a test with 20 control and experiment locations.
They provided enough evidence to the judge to convince him that there was child pron at this location. I'm not sure how knowing there is a TOR node would have made much of a difference.

What is O2O?

I like the idea. I recently had to buy an adapter for a sound system on very short notice. It wasn't available at Best Buy but it was at a nearby local music store. I got lucky because the Best Buy employee recommended the music store - I wouldn't've thought to look for a music store. Your app would solve this problem (if it had my adapter in its catalog, anyway), but it's a once-a-year problem for me and so I probably won't remember your product's name by the time I need it next year. So, how are you going to get users? Are there certain types of users who will use this more often?
Or when a judge is given a request with missing information and he can't ask an expert, do research, or say, "Wait, what is a Tor Exit Node and why did you mention it in your report?"

The point of this article is given the fact that they left that off then he can't reasonably ask for more information.
Hmm I never heard of the "Parallella". This one has 64 cores but never seems to have been released: http://www.adapteva.com/white-papers/parallella-64-cores/

Is there anything else like that on the market for cheap? I'd actually like to play around with a high core count chip. "Only" 4 cores is for kids :)
Its more like getting a warrant to search his house because they found drugs in his car, but not bothering to mention to the judge that "his" car was a rental car he took out from the airport Hertz a month ago.
When Will the First Machine Become Superintelligent? Surveys by Top AI Experts
I`ve seen enough contrary evidence to not make this a truism across the board but I more or less agree with you.
You're being needlessly combative. This isn't about feeling good about myself.

Of course I put protecting innocent life near the top of the priority list. But that doesn't mean I think it's right (or ever justifiable) to kill the families of suspected terrorists. That doesn't mean I think that Americans should give up the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 15th amendments of their Constitution (all of which could be claimed as barriers to "protecting innocent life.").
Not disagreeing with you, but you have to say the advances we've seen in storage have thus far been almost beyond belief.

I remember my dad bringing home our family's first modern PC, an original iMac. It replaced some ancient thing with a monochrome display that we kept in the basement. (I wish they still had it, whatever it was—would be fun to play around with). We thought it was like something out of science fiction–you could use Netscape to do a Lycos search! It played DVDs! It came with two: a demo disk and A Bug's Life. The DVDs (4.7 GB) had a larger capacity than the hard disk! (4 GB)

Today, my MacBook Pro has 512 GB of storage. 8 doublings in 16 years (1998-2014) and that's with a change in form factor from desktop to laptop, and in storage medium from hard disk to SSD.

Let me pay devil's advocate for a moment: let's say I want to do bad things on the Internet and obviously I don't want to get my house raided. So now I set up a Tor node in my house. Doing that I created reasonable doubt and my house can't get raided.
These might be a few:

- Though it's not much more difficult, it does show you spent a little more effort on the website to not just leave the pk there. I would think this would be more relevant for sites not using a framework like wordpress (which we absolutely know from search results filters that google can categorize sites in this way...)

- Legacy... older websites that are pure static pages will likely have good keywords in the file name, since it would be maintained primarily by humans looking at directories of files.

- Social significance. The link would be more likely to have a better social impact because the content of the page could be determined whether its an anchor tag, posted in irc, or sent in gmail. You might argue that just because the page name has the keywords doesnt mean the content is about that, but I would argue google can quickly detect and demote those kind of things (aka the page title is only really relevant to your seo if it's also relevant to the content... otherwise it's essentially just a random primary key).

Just my thoughts...

They want a cross between a developer and a sysadmin.

When I was there they hired people with one background and hoped they would be capable of the other. This didn't work out for about half of them. Making things worse, they had no procedure to say, "OK, we hired someone we think is good, but this is clearly the wrong role for them." Which lead to losing a lot of people who had potential.

Making it personal, I interviewed for a pure dev position then was offered a job as an SRE. It turns out that I don't make a good sysadmin. After I left, I was amazed at how many people I met knew of someone else who had had the same experience.

Ironically recruiters see a year as a Google SRE on my resume and think I might want to join SRE teams at other companies. Most of that stopped after I changed my Linked In profile to say that I am never interested in SRE jobs.

Generally you're right that the wide sections are where you want to focus your attention when looking for optimizations. The point I was trying to make in the blog post is that we had to take the flame graph visualization a step further to eliminate the noise obscuring a major hot spot. The large number of broken stacks was one of the first hurdles we had to cross to improve the clarity of the visualization.

BTW, this is a different flame graph and optimization than the one discussed in the YouTube video. We use flame graphs extensively throughout Netflix.

I tried to get into linux development within the last year or so. One of the most frustrating obstacles I ran into was that attempting to install packages would mysteriously fail. I found it that was because I was missing a package called "build-essential". I thought one of the package manager's reason for existence was that it could track dependencies, and it didn't appear to be doing that. I still don't understand how that can happen. It seems to me that a package installation ought to be tested against a fresh image to verify the dependency tracking is working correctly.
Many times agreed. I'm fairly sure the computer vision stuff was pushed by NI because heavy sponsorship. And one of the recent games, Aerial Assist, was actually fun... because it was focused on the interaction between robots and teamwork between them, and because even a Kit-O-Parts robot with nothing else on it was a valuable asset when driven correctly.

FRC was fun because of the people. Not because of FRC.

The Data Bubble redux
The judge wouldn't have known what a Tor node is—but that's not a bad thing. What he's saying here is that the facts as originally presented to him translated into a well-known "cached" judgement; but the facts as they actually were would require original thought and research on his part (and/or those of analysts working for the judge) to come to a decision. "Guy has child porn on his computer" has a clear-cut answer; "open proxy server contains child porn" is indeed much less clear-cut. What the law says about that subject is murky; hazy, even. It's something you would need to think about.

And this thinking is, in practice, what the vast majority of a judge's every-day job is: to Do The Research—to become experts in the things they're asked to rule on, to build up the context necessary to discriminate between assertions made to them by opposed parties. Judges are already experts on the law; but that only helps when the law is already so well-established that a judge isn't even necessary. In most cases, the law is vague: it doesn't already have the answer for what should happen in this particular case, with these particular facts. The point of the judge is to decide what the law should be—to gather facts about the world, and use them to answer a question in a way that sets legal precedent going forward.

Everyone else in the court's job is, then, to feed the judge all the necessary facts about the case, on both sides, so that the judge can know just what subjects must be made clear—must be researched, or questioned, or followed up on—before the case can be decided.

(Even the irrelevant statements; the judge is the one expected to know what the law must blind itself to, so the judge wants to hear everything, and then cull the pile of statements themselves. When a jury is present and must be the one to decide, the judge will attempt to moderate the jury using this same legal-blinding... but with mixed results. In jury trials, you'll see judges trying to keep attorneys from making certain assertions that might irreparably bias a jury; but in non-jury trials, judges just want all the information they can get.)

In short: as long as judges are doing their jobs, the law keeps up. That's what we pay judges to do. If the law isn't keeping up, we've just hired some bad judges.
It's worth reading the book. Ballot box mismanagement, especially on that scale isn't free - and it seems quite clear that he was not only receiving cash handouts for his own campaign, but he was also acting as a channel for money to other democrats campaigns - and this was what allowed him to gain the influence he held within the party and especially the senate.
You're not being rude at all.

The extension module documentation, including this blog post, says to use Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7. I couldn't get it to work properly, and I tried the other toolchains after quite a bit of research, a word which here means "reading through the Python source code and trying various search terms in a vain attempt to solve a problem that apparently isn't a problem for anyone else, but they can't be bothered to specify their obviously functional build environments in sufficient detail for me, an expert in the art, to recreate in a clean virtual machine here at home". It was only after this little endeavour of mine that I came to appreciate people's work on reproducible builds, Vagrant, etc.

And you aren't kidding about that VS2015 install taking forever and a day. Updates are almost as bad.
I have to agree with you but as someone who was on a small team with basically no mentors, the amount we learned by having to do all the hard work ourselves was amazing. Really wish we didn't run out of funding my senior year.

I don't know about their implementation, but I wrote exactly this plugin for GCC several months ago and announced it on the afl mailing list, as a patch to the source. The lack of replies lead me to believe it was mostly uninteresting to people - but maybe I should have advertised it more.

You can find the source code here: https://github.com/thoughtpolice/afl/commit/e54c0237e934d734...

It should not be difficult to update this to work on more GCC versions (I only tested on GCC 4.8.x), but that will take some #ifdef'ery. Porting to newer AFLs should be relatively trivial.

EDIT: I initially wrote this for no particular reason, mind you, other than to play around with writing GCC plugins, and the result wasn't so bad, modulo non-existant documentation. I also thought it would be nice to have an identical equivalent to 'afl-clang-fast' for GCC ('afl-gcc-fast'), in the hopes that perhaps one day the hacky, sed-inspired backends could be removed from afl. I initially wanted to use this on a POWER machine as proof of a portable GCC plugin for afl, although I lost interest in porting to a newer GCC, before losing access to the machine. Watching afl fly on 176 cores was fun, though.
Neat! I've been a CS TA. However, I haven't needed a piece of software like this (to be fair, your site seems to be down so I can't understand exactly what it does right now).

One thing I'm worried about is that in the past, I would have wanted my students to use their own environment rather than web. Or the software was too complicated to give them a web version. However, I can see the use for lower level courses where the assignments are not too complicated.
