SMS spoofing is a problem if the flow depends on the user sending an SMS, and generic impersonation (by the client app) is a problem if users have to do something like click a link in the SMS and enter a password. But if a phone number is already associated with the account, and the only SMS is one from the service to the user containing a randomly generated login code, it should be safe, no? At least, that's the flow everyone and their dog seems to use these days.

Of course, that doesn't work without a phone.
As cringey as this whole episode has been, I genuinely hope this guy is alright and doesn't do something dumb.
Rust isn't targeting all of the same use areas as the other languages you mentioned (and FWIW I've heard not great things about go dependency mgt). Many, if not most, of the rust materials in the wild are pitching it as an alternative to C and C++, because that's where the language has the clearest competitive advantage.

I have never had an account. The very idea of it was repugnant to me, even when it was launched. I think it mostly because of the must-use-real-name thing, which was the complete opposite of the way I used the Internet at the time.

But also because I like being un-contactable by people I have known in the past.

Unfortunately, my sister got a lot of "what happened to your brother?" messages, but they have mostly stopped now.

That's fine, so long as you're willing to pay for your infrastructure. Low-density suburbs with full utilities, storm sewer, etc, must have it's cost paid for by those who choose to live that lifestyle.

Those of us living 27 stories up are more efficient and shouldn't have to pay for your roads.
Except you can't. Your choices in the US are almost always suburban to rural, especially if a) you don't have a lot of money to afford the desirable urban areas and b) you don't want to deal with the crime in the undesirable ones.
As I said below, we will comply with the law.

From the very first.

> Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Have you seen this in practice and experienced how people work day-to-day? Leave them to their own devices and it varies a lot by personality. Some people need micro-management for instance... there is also thing that process is very important, and this point is self contradictory given that a lot of the agile manifest essentially describes process or a strategy for creating one... and as for ever relegating the importance of good tools.... ick.

?

(p.s. thanks for calling it out, its good to take these things seriously imo. its shows passion and care. :) )
Yeah. Perhaps developers could attribute functions in `build.rs` specifically with "deterministic", so you could see what in the dependency graph isn't deterministic.

Unfortunately, unlike with borrowck, reproducibility is inherently hard to verify, and you'd have to do it manually with a VM or some different build environment.

This is interesting: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33296
Isn't the only logical endpoint for Facebook to become a VR world where we all spend 100% of our time? That's what a forever-continuing revenue increase would create, right? And that's exactly how the incentive structures exist right now.

I don't really like that society places such high emphasis on structures that create dystopias.
You should be proud of that. It's exactly what FB wants you to do.
You accuse me of trotting out "Save the children"... which I didn't do... then you end on "It's going to hurt small businesses".

So don't use an Arduino if that makes it too easy. Get yerself an FTDI USB-to-parallel module (http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Modules/DevelopmentModules....) and set it to bit-bang mode, and away you go.

Edit: Or get something from a different vendor, since as mentioned below, FTDI now has a track record of punishing their legit customers for the existence of knockoff chips.
>The music industry is so large, nobody will be able to defeat them or their pack of lawyers in court. Napster was supposed to be a revolution, but all it did was put all of the indy artists out of business and create the environment we have now where music is virtually worthless and the only way to make a living as an artist is to sign with a big company and tour.

It also halved or even less the revenues of the music industry.

It was indeed a revolution, but not necessarily good for the indies. Plus, technology lowered both recording and distribution costs to nearly 0, and so everybody and his dog is an indie now and people just don't care. If you have 10.000 indie artist, each might have a following. If there are 200.000 of them, it's much more difficult.

>Music sharing took away all of the power we had to defeat the music industry. You need big money to make big changes, and now it's way too late.

Only if the idea of "defeating the music industry" was "and get to make a living as indie artists".

If it was "fuck the industry part, let's just have music from people who don't do it for profit" then it was a wild success. We now have more music from people who couldn't give a rats arse for profits than ever before -- all over Bandcamp, CD Baby, personal sites, small vanity pressings and more.
I think back in the day it was normal for an average young embedded software dev like myself to know my way around the basics of digital hardware. Nothing unusual about it then, maybe a little different now? Not sure. As for buying an Atari ST, it would have been quite a big purchase for me at the time. I am in New Zealand, I was probably making about $NZ30K from memory, and a computer like that would have been maybe $NZ1.5K (probably at least double whatever it cost in the US). The age of ubiquitous, super cheap consumer electronics hadn't yet arrived, especially in NZ.
Perhaps more intuitive, 11*17 is pretty easy to do in your head, but factoring 187 is much harder
It's not quite GTFO, but you do have to spend a lot more than the $15 it costs for an opto isolated parallel port to stepper interface board. My celeron j1900 does about 20k steps/second with low jitter on LinuxCNC

Yes: it rotates the pixel data and resets the EXIF Orientation header. That means that it looks identical even when displayed as expected with a viewer which doesn't honor the EXIF orientation.

It's a lossless rotation - you can actually use something like jpegtran to rotate it back and the pixel checksum in ImageMagick's identify will match – but it completely breaks any system which uses checksums to detect duplicates, of course. I noticed when I started testing Google Photos and had a ton of duplicate images.

That's funny because it's the folks in IT that always want to limit users freedom. But when someone even higher up the chain takes control they get upset about it ;-)
Infrastructure is expensive to replace. These towns and cities are only able to afford to do so by making new subdivisions pay for it. This works so long as you keep growing exponentially, forever, which you won't. Someday, there won't be new people to pay for it.

Everyone has different experiences with this stuff. I deactivated for a while, then went back and 'curated' the hell out of it. After I did that, I realized the only interactions I was getting from it for a while could mostly be had via other websites, in-person, by phone and text, and deactivated a few months back again. Although yesterday, I logged in solely to download a picture my wife wanted I had of her then instantly deactivated again, if that counts.

Since I weaned myself down majorly by curating the content severely for a while, almost no one had been griping to me about 'why aren't you on facebook?' when I stopped using it this last time. And I feel even less compelled to go back on. I enjoy having a sense of privacy, free time to do other things (I have that 50 minutes a day/whatever to do other stuff with now), and I think a better respect for the value of the precious time left in my life. I hope I never get drawn back in to using it.
Some people do enjoy smoking and/or gambling. Not everyone is a victim being exploited

I don't think any of this is a Clojure specific issue. You can do all of the same things in Clojure with JVM logging libraries as you can in Java.

I believe he means that packages aren't namespaced (owner/package-name), so if I publish a package called nike, Nike could come and want to take over the package name.
"That requires the systems to be proprietary, and, well, conflicting."

No it doesn't. Different OSS projects already compete with each other in many details of design and implementation. They try to win over users or mindshare instead of dollars. Some with financial backing also have dollars in mind. Even lock-in is approximated by things that many apps depend on but are too big to change without risking a break.
I didn't deactivate, but I made my profile link to my personal website and haven't logged in for a couple years.
I still don't see ANY value in using facebook besides giving to the market my personal data. I just don't understand why this is so popular.

If I wanted to use a social network, I would use one where I can contact new people of interest, not the one I can talk with when I open my window but I won't because I use facebook.
I think a big problem is that intelligent people tend to be naive about the level of sophistication of voters.
I'm going to miss Objective C terribly. It is, hands down, still my favorite language (and ecosystem). It's interoperability with C got me into C. It was insanely powerful and fun.

I know not many people agree with me. I liked the square braces and crazy long function names. I know Swift is decent... It's not the same.

Oh well. Lamenting my path to software engineering doesn't mean much for anyone else. But I really am going to miss it.
So to summarize this article:

- Agile is Dead because people abused it, so we should move on from the term.
- Instead use the term Continuous Delivery. By the way this term doesn't mean anything, use whatever system you want.
- Lots of buzzwords.

It wouldn't matter if arbitration is just as fair as courts. The real problem is that the arbitration clauses do not permit class actions. This gives corporations license to rip consumers off as long as each individual ripoff is so small that it's not worth it for the consumer to litigate or arbitrate.

I'm currently a Robotics Engineer at Kawasaki Robotics handling the programming for robots used by the semiconductor industry. These are robots that handle millions of dollars worth of products each day, and I work with the customers and our engineering teams to ensure that their behaviors are correct, that they operate reliably, and ensure they run as fast as possible.
People tell me that waterfall was never really a thing, and it was only ever a name for how things should not be done and that nobody ever actually advocated it.

Is this not true? I'm too young to remember what came before agile.

Interesting opinion.
Americans built free road at the expense of their own future generations.
The author think Americans must stop this spiral and paying the road cost by paying more tax or reduce economic activities by not building and maintaining the road.

Paying more tax would not happens. The Citizen will flee to other states/countries for avoiding high tax(and that place gets free road).
Reducing the economy doesn't work too.
Your future generation unsatisfied the situation(lack of jobs, cultures etc) and flee to other more economically advanced cities/countries(and that place gets free road).

Borrowing from the future generation is better.
But have too few redundant copies and you lost access to it forever. Or travel to various countries opening bank vault accounts is sure to put you on CIA/NSA/othersuchagencies' radar. $500M is interesting enough for them to poke around I bet.
Some people do enjoy heroin and/or being a slave. Not everyone is a victim being exploited.

In other words, I really don't know what you're trying to add to the conversation.
Gas taxes go to federal, state, and local (county level).
And some people are legitimately addicted and unable to stop despite their sincere desire. In many cases, companies engineer products and services to be as addictive as possible. The techniques used by casinos, for instance, are well known.

This is not an argument for regulation, prohibition or anything like that. Merely a rebuttal to the falsehood that nobody is being "exploited" by such companies and that "value" is being created. In many cases value is being destroyed.
> The trouble is that in dynamic environments, the discipline necessary to properly practice scrum isn't really possible. It takes longer to define the requirements than it does to code, and once coded they change mid-sprint.

Scrum is not trictly bijective with agile.

The concept of a sprint creates an entirely arbitrary deadline with an arbitrary box of work.

My Dad taught me Turbo Pascal when I was about 7 or 8 years old, this was the early 90's msdos environment. I wrote one or two very simple programs got bored and moved on to other things. I just didn't have the attention span for it at that age.

When I was 13 I taught myself html. I used to write webpages by opening up notepad in Windows 95 and typing in all the tags (frames tables even the dreaded blink tag). I consider this my first real experience with programming.
Not AFAIK, but you good get a good idea by downloading all the torrent files, and extracting the torrent size from the metadata. Or maybe just download 1 torrent (since there's over 500 of them, one per 100k files), and multiply the average size per file.

Signed data implies that at least 1 bit represents the signess of the underlying bytes. C did not want to impose which bit must represent the sign of the integer because that may have implications on the performance of hardware that was built to represent signess a different way.

But I can't really imagine myself saying "So why don't you just sell your body until things get better?"

"Love you long time, five dallah" and the ensuing event takes three minutes which works out to $100/hr while the dishwasher makes what, %7.50? $100/hr vs $7.50/hr, hmmmm. I have known nurses and teachers who worked their way through college in the sex trade. They were incredible people who likely had no student debt.

Could you explain what you're referring to? It seems like a total non sequitur, since as far as I know, there has never been any pain (or even rumour of pain) in a Rust upgrade caused by what libc the compiler uses, but rather breakage in the unstable features that servo uses.
I tried to have a simple example, maybe it was too simple. You are right, an OR with a constant is enough to know it is not zero. For this case the Bit Estimator also knows b = [3, 4083], writing something that takes advantage of this info would have been more interesting.
I'm slightly confused...you think the multiple users RDPing into it will cause an increase in cost if you go 100% legit? The price of the windows OS is priced into the Azure hosting costs. Windows vms are a bit more expensive than linux ones for this reason.
I second this comment. My business (nutrition facts labeling), is totally dependent on US federal government regulations. For example, the government will be mandating new nutrition fact label designs for all food companies which is going to help open up my market greatly when the final rulings are issued.

I'm an XP fan, but I'm always wary of saying "they didn't do real agile". It can descend into "No True Agile" pretty quickly, with a dash of victim-blaming.

Agile is actually hard to get to grips with. It requires lots of discipline. So did the pre-agile methods that worked best. And it gets half-done for the same reason that the pre-agile methods got half-done.

It's hard. Hard to do, hard to learn, tempting to stop.

"Freedom" necessarily includes the freedom to make bad decisions. You want to take away that choice.

Very well said. There's this relevant Gandhi quote:

"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes."

The whole approach to computer security seems to be based on an argument along the lines of "let's just throw everyone in jail and treat them guilty by default because they might possibly do something we don't like", which (fortunately, at this present time) seems preposterous in the real world, and yet that's what people are silently accepting --- or even strongly advocating --- with respect to online matters and their computing devices.

A world of perfect security and perfect safety, where no one can make mistakes, where no "bad things" can happen to anyone, and in which everything is controlled by some authority would be immensely boring, dystopian, inhuman, and quite frankly not worth living in.

> What courage is he talking about?

Courage of admitting he lost control of his con game. The only way is to keep plowing forward with more lies and more diversion, no matter how childish and stupid.

At the end of the day every con artist is also a desperate, lonely and broken on some level. There is probably a tiny dose of truth in what he said at that level. In other words he is not sorry and broken for lying, he is sorry and broken for being caught red handed at his own game.
