Not everyone agree those were the good old days.

For me the good old days were the time spend with Amiga 500, discovering the world of Smalltalk, Oberon and all Xerox PARC research and other pioneers.

I got into UNIX via Xenix, and used almost every commercial flavour of it, but don't consider it the good old days.

The fact that POSIX is stuck in a PDP-11 world, is a proof that no big in the industry, with power to drive POSIX forward, is seeing as a relevant OS API for anything besides writing daemons and CLI applications accessible via SSH.
To me, after all the Snowden leaks , the story about two Russian spies sounds kind of ridiculous because of the level of hypocrisy :)
Show HN: Unity5 networking(HLAPI) getting started.(LAN example)
I needed to implement a networking application with a server in a local network, with no Internet access. Then I found that unity5 networking api providing exactly what i want. So I studied manual, scripting API and made simple & light implementation providing basic features. It will be useful for non-game, which like manage client's realtime status.

In my case, UNET is actually quite strong. I am using this unity multiplayer feature as a kind of test tool for children. About 2~30 mobile devices connect to server(also mobile device), and then test result are displayed on server in realtime.

See my workaround to click the below link.

Java doesn't have true generics. It uses erasures to emulate this feature. During compilation, template variables are removed and replaced with specific type. I think that's why it's an issue.
That's not what Feynman is talking about at all. He touches on it; points out that what you get from numerical methods is an approximation, whereas he wants to talk about how you would get an exact simulation.
Another good example was when Microsost introduced C++/CX, their language extensions for creating WinRT components in C++.

Lots of devs were up in arms that C++ was going to be managed in the new WinRT world, just because C++/CX syntax is based on C++/CLI.

Microsoft had to do lots of sessions to clarify that, and I bet even today there are developers that don't get the difference between C++/CX and C++/CLI.

Im sure threat modelling is something everyone does implicitly.

As someone who practices security, I found the keywords you can pull from the slide reasonable in their suggestions to follow up on. There were a couple of places he went into the weeds, and I think he probably could have talked up iOS security a bit more instead of smart cards which are a bit overkill relative to his other suggestions.

But, this is just a slide deck. Try not to rush to judgement considering we didn't hear the talk that came with it.

I'm not sure holding pattern is fair either. I think doing a postdoc is a normal healthy part of a research career. I don't think most people are ready to start their own groups straight after finishing a PhD.
How does number 2 work?

If I have saved my whole life into a pension, 80% gets taken for my end-of-life care. If I only saved for the last 5 years of my career, 80% gets taken. Not sure how that makes sense.
You're assuming some kind of independence of thought and action by the Government. The problem is Government supports many of the dietary and lifestyle changes behind the obesity epidemic. For example, in my U.S. community, the government builds miles and miles of roads but almost no sidewalks or bike paths. Zoning here encourages the creation of low density subdivisions that are completely car dependent. Nationally, historically the government food scientists have pushed foods like HFCS, trans fat, skim milk, and low fat/high carb diets that newer research shows is part (most?) of the problem. If government didn't subsidize roads, meddle in food choices, and allowed health care insurance companies to charge the obese their actual risk-based cost, the obesity problem might not be as profound.

Type erasure prevents runtime access to type information.

If type is preserved, in certain scenario it could be handy, like dynamically checking whether certain class conforms to generic type(better instanceof operator).

One example is the Gson library, looks at what twisted hack it uses to preserve the generics information at runtime(hints: TypeToken class).

That section, with that last sentence at the end, is a really beautiful piece of black humor.

How do you know? How can you be sure you reach every slide simply by pressing space?

What about on my tablet, which doesn't have a space bar?

Edit: These are genuine questions, and I am deeply frustrated that it's being downvoted without any discussion. People are claiming that hitting the space bar takes you linearly through the entire presentation. How do you know you reach every slide like that?

Really, seriously, how do you know?

As far as I'm concerned the navigation is opaque - if I hit space, I don't know that I'll reach every slide.

How do you know ?!?

I suspect that people are enamoured with the attractiveness of the presentation - it's cool, it's slick, it's gorgeous, it's wonderful - and when I question its usability or discoverability, people are downvoting because they have no answer, and just get pissed off at being questioned.

Do you actually have an answer? If so, tell me.

Let me know when your team of 10 security people that the corporation spends a million per year on is ready to tackle all these issues. Not one overworked IT guy that keeps getting shit from dumb people like the CEO who don't get it. Otherwise forget it, security is not happening, because there is no budget for it. At the end of the day the problem with security is not security, it's money, we have more than enough tools to make everything airtight. What we don't have are the budgets to make this happen, so instead of proactive security you get reactive security, and the CEOs and other executives don't care about that until it happens because it costs money.

You may work somewhere that this is the case, but I can't count the number of times I have tested an application where someone has equated security to having an A+ HTTPS rating.

Understood, and something I didn't consider before. That said, I think my comments will still be useful to those here who have also not seen the original talk.

Can people just stop with this whole verify-by-phone thing?
Good point, but I feel like that's not the entire picture.

One thing to think about with this is to look at what Steam did with indie games. Valve basically made full-time indie game makers survive by essentially creating an easily discoverable platform. Nowadays there are a couple extra platforms (Humble Store, G2G), so it's not a monopoly, but people have been pretty clear that Steam is the major source of revenue by far.

Do we not want that for podcasting? Being able to pay directly for high-quality content, but also having the discoverable ecosystem.

If Apple decides to tackle this (they're really close to having this with iTunes, you can buy old TAL eps or the like), then it's going to be super closed and basically the app store.

If the golden age of indie games has proven anything, it's that supporting better discovery would be a net win to the quality of content going out there. Saying "oh, well we already have this through passworded feeds" is leaving the door open for a less open solution.

Instead of saying "no because this implementation is stupid", I would much rather hear Marco offer an alternative that could be open. Though I don't know his position on paid content, really. Rallying around a more open alternative is the best way to counter a closed solution.

Right now Apple is the best placed to build good discovery (iTunes already is that for free content), so somebody needs to step up to the plate if they want to avoid Apple's content rules becoming the norm.

This is obviously extremely off topic but I figure I may as well ask here by the off chance that someone from Dropbox or with contacts there could tell me which foundry was responsible for the chrome panda statue? From the few pics I've seen it looks like nice work.

I do some metal sculptural work myself as a hobby and try to follow other artists and foundries for inspiration. I would assume Dropbox used a local source and I'm not familiar with many in the Bay Area. I'm always looking for more to add to my list of shops worth following.

Apologies for the off topic question.

'fist fulls' is a rather strange unit of measurement for pills!
Your response is not surprising. "Struggle" is not definitive marker of said expression. Specific protein is, which can be detected if you wanted it. Those with the adaptation, either it is liberal, like you, or conservative, like me, always seek to sustain that environment. Because changing genetic expression is a slow process and not preferred by the body. And your behavior, including this comment, is a result of changed in brain areas more than result of information you have received.

So left vs right is a war between heritable different gene expression proteins on the most basic level. Different ideas and perceptions are only a byproduct of the effect these proteins cause.

And there's nothing inherently wrong with this expression. I'm just acknowledging that we are fundamentally different on the cell level and nothing can make us agree. Doesn't mean my expression is better than yours. These are just different evolutionary adaptations in animals that humans are part of. I have example of rabbits because they have furthered your type of "lifestyle" to more discernable level.

Also your eugenics argument is completely strawman, as is expected from you.
~3mph assumes modern equipment and infrastructure. You won't get that with poorly designed shoes, a poorly designed backpack, on a barely beaten trail, and without a grocery store with (very) cheap food at every other street corner. And even if you imagined all of that, it's only less than 9 months when you're goal driven: you'd want to get a message from the east coast to the west coast - fast. Without such a goal, you're just looking at the spread of hearsay through word of mouth - which is slow.
"Ahhh, the old "ideas during casual talking" trope. In all my years I've never seen anything of significance come out of people talking over lunch - for most companies, the concept of unexpected collaboration based on overhearing something in the office just isn't true and is mostly not required."

I've done a lot of - perhaps even most - learning from talking to people who are better than me, whether it's over lunch, a drink, or during work. You can't disentangle casual chats and official meetings; in most companies you're not going to be allowed to just book an hour or two of meetings to discuss random stuff in the hope you'll learn something you might be able to apply to this project.
I don't know if many of those are good examples.

when I buy music off of iTunes or Google Play Music, I can download the MP3s for local copies.

I don't know how Netflix is any different than cable TV. It's not like HBO shipped you tapes after eps of the Sopranos.

This is a pretty good example of how much bad PR is generated from DRM. I heard it took 3 years after Apple removed all DRM from purchased content for people to mostly stop saying iTunes stuff was DRM'd.

> I worked for several years with a medium size company that had a couple of hundred staff all around the globe. I'd argue the amount of non project specific, but still technical discussion was higher than when I worked in an office.

And the good thing? When you're working remotely, you can tune out those conversations if you need to focus on something. Try that when people in your office decide to have a room-wide chat.

I find it strange that they're so against it in Austin when in my home town they just launched with much the same conditions - here Uber effectively operate as a private hire taxi firm, to the point that the only thing the local taxi companies could find to complain to the press about was Uber not being required to display a phone number on their cars.

The author of the presentation lost my respect when I read he is advocating for using SELinux and Linux containers instead of zones and SmartOS, which tells me he is not up to date on security. The whole thing was even made worse by him advocating for the use of continous integration: no, .tar files and Docker images are not the same thing as operating system packages, nor do they come anywhere near the functionality, therefore "DevOps" is insane, especially when the whole thing can be pulled off correctly and securely with SmartOS zones, OS packaging for both delivery and configuration management, and change management process modeling. Those are your airbags, crumple zones, and safety systems, not SELinux, "DevOps", nor Linux "containers". The only thing of technical value in the presentation is how to put SSH keys on SmartCards, and even that is just explained as a series of manual steps (hacking in system engineering context), rather than as a turnkey, OS packaging process (full, high quality, repeatable integration). Damn it how I loathe half-baked stuff from people who should know better but don't: if you are going to be presenting on security, you better know what you are talking about, or else it is blind leading the blind.

Hence needing a cultural change - we can get the same effect remotely if we actually try.

When I was a fresh grad, I also learnt a tremendous amount from the people around me; I don't doubt our ability to get the same effect remotely.

The issues we have with everyone wanting to live in massive urban areas (near work) are not less important then you needing to figure out how to learn from home, that's the type of self centred thinking that gives us high density housing, pollution, unaffordable housing, long commutes, strained family lives, broken communities and mental health issues (also known as commuting / working from a central office).

It's about the failure modes you anticipate. If a text file becomes corrupt a human can probably still make some sense of it. If a binary file does, you may well be completely out of luck. I mean try it for yourself, truncate a 4G core dump by a couple of bytes and watch GDB try to open it. Now imagine that all your system and application logs are vulnerable to this.

In a world where things are "fixed" by just blowing away a VM and spinning up a new one, you might not care but in that case why bother to log anything at all...?

"This is what DevOps is about: running Ops like you're Developing an app, not letting your devs run your ops."

This is a very common attitude of sysadmins who think that configuration management is the only thing they need to do to "become DevOps". Sadly, years after DevOps movement has started, the majority of people who are "doing DevOps" are those sysadmins who just added Puppet or Chef to their toolbox.

Security is a very difficult subject when it comes to DevOps practices, but the approach given in this presentation is definitely something I would not want to be part of. Unless what they are securing is a nuclear reactor control center.

It's only not the same quality if you're the only one who is off-site. But consider the hypothetical case where there is no central office, and everyone's working from home. Then you don't have to deal with the problem of terrible conference room microphones, since everyone has their own headset. You don't have to deal with not being able to see the whiteboard, because people use other collaboration tools.

As sibling commenters are saying, the terrible experience that off-site workers have today is because companies haven't invested in the infrastructure to allow off-site workers to collaborate in the same way as workers in the office. Slack can replace the hallway conversations. Shared Google Docs can replace white-boards. Skype can replace meeting rooms. You just have to invest in the infrastructure, both physical and cultural to make it happen. And, as a side benefit, it's a lot easier to record the outcomes of meetings with these new tools, which makes it much easier to go back and reference what people said.
Then we can say it is a rather poor hack.
