Horizontal gene transfer is still rampant - actually it is a far better way to mix genes than sexual reproduction and it is probably why microbes rule the world.

LUCA is an imaginary organism that captures the features that all known living organisms share - almost certainly the history of decent of each gene in modern organisms is different.

I've gotten one as well after my beloved v3i passed away. In terms of value for money it is alright. Yet I wonder why dumb phones aren't perfected by now. Apart from the menu issues and the indeed horrible backgrounds (went with the blueish one) I am annoyed that you can neither set the brightness of the display nor the volume of the alarm clock. When it wakes you up in the morning its brightness and loudness are incredibly painful. In fact, at night I cover my phone with whatever textile product lies around to make the alarm clock less harsh.
Not by much though.

piercing the veil usually applies to manager-owners, like S-corps.
If I invest in a corporation and the managers do something horrible, the managers could potentially be reached through the veil, but not the stockholders -- their only involvement was handing over money, so they had no wrongdoing.

Now, investors who are also decision-makers on the Board or maangement, that's another story.

To me, legacy code has cost. Great cost.

Certainly, but it's the kind of cost that comes with having a lot of users, so it falls into the "nice problem to have" basket. If you've got no users, you have a lot more freedom to throw things away.

I understand where you're coming from, because I also do mostly-sole-maintenance on a large codebase with all the issues that come with a 20 year legacy. One strategy that can work in such a situation where you can't maintain perfect backwards-compatibility forever is to boil the frogs slowly - gradually deprecate and remove features over a longish time frame, because a single changed or missing feature is easier to adapt to for the userbase than a whole slew at once (many people probably don't even use the feature and won't notice).

Why would I want to use a browser to do non broswery things? It's bad enough that we have to use browsers in the first place. Wouldn't we be better starting from scratch and developing a secure, standards-friendly way of deploying text, images and video rather than taking something which was designed to display just text and try and make it useful?
You've gotten lucky.
Recently I got to the airport early (unusual for me) a 2 hour wait in line later, we missed our flight (by about 15 minutes) As we were getting placed on the next flight the agent said lately 2 hours wasn't long enough. I flew out of the same airport about a month later, and an hour earlier in the day and had no issues.

Signal is:

- Bound to a phone number.

- Limited to a single mobile device (can't use a tablet or a second phone).

- Limited to a Chrome extension.

The first two are the larger of my problems as phone numbers are far from permanent and I routinely use multiple Android devices.

I just don't understand how there are so many messaging applications that involve encryption and manage to mess up at least one major feature.

Telegram: e2e is off by default, encryption is homegrown, requires a phone number (although only for initial setup).

Signal: No multi-device, requires a phone number.

WhatsApp: Linked entirely to a phone.

Tox: Uses P2P nonsense that destroys mobile battery.

Why is it so hard to make an app that is:

- Secure.

- Not linked to a phone in any way.

- Mobile ready, with working push notifications.

- Available on multiple devices.

- Easy to use.

- Free.
I'm estimating ad block based on how many page views Analytics is showing for my pages with an advertisement, and how many ad impressions are being served. Analytics does a decent job at not counting any page views from bots, so I find it fairly accurate for real traffic.

Careful with DFP though. I used it for a while for direct campaigns, bid my own campaigns against AdSense, and used AdSense as backfill. If I had no direct campaigns running, I expected to see similar revenues to using AdSense directly on my site, since after all, DFP was just backfilling everything to my AdSense when no campaigns were available.

However, I saw a fairly significant decrease in AdSense, whether I plugged my AdSense code into DFP as the only advertisement, or whether I used the backfill option. I don't know why that occurred, but it was something like -35% for running AdSense inside of DFP. Perhaps it was slower to load going through DFP and ads didn't finish for some users, or maybe ad blocking software had a better chance of removing DFP+AdSense, compared to just AdSense.

If I was you, I'd experiment with using DFP, and using a custom solution for managing ads on your server. If you go the custom route, you can serve direct campaigns much more efficiently, so they'll load faster, and have a much lower chance of being blocked. Also, you'll be inserting the AdSense code directly into your site, instead of wrapping it inside of DFP, which in my case, lowered revenues.

Right now, I'm just running AdSense only. Last year I did a lot of direct campaigns, many of which were for larger companies, like nVidia. AdSense might pay $0.30 CPM on average for my site, and direct campaigns might sell for $2.00 CPM, so it sounds great on paper. However, most of my direct advertisers wanted to focus on regions like the US, Canada, UK, Australia, etc. Now, although my average CPM was $0.30 from AdSense, it was closer to $1.00 for those specific regions. So, there was potential to earn another $1.00 CPM using direct campaigns over AdSense, but then I had to factor in the cost of hiring a sales person to deal with all of these companies and to manage the campaigns, since that was nearly a full-time job in itself. Then I needed to invest time working with the sales person and reviewing data, so that was another cost. After it was all said and done, I figured out I was making around +10% in the bank after going through all the direct campaign effort, instead of just dropping the AdSense code on my site. It wasn't worth the trade in my situation, and now I just run AdSense.

However, I'm always looking for alternatives and I'll likely explore some subscription models in the future.

> It's questionable whether people wanted that performance though, at least when it resulted in less security.

There's no question about it, the "ANSI C Rationale" makes it very clear what they considered "the spirit of C"[1]:

> - Trust the programmer.

> - Don't prevent the programmer from doing what needs to be done.

> - Keep the language small and simple.

> - Provide only one way to do an operation.

> - Make it fast, even if it is not guaranteed to be portable.

> The last proverb needs a little explanation. The potential for efficient code generation is one of the most important strengths of C. To help ensure that no code explosion occurs for what appears to be a very simple operation, many operations are defined to be how the target machine's hardware does it rather than by a general abstract rule. An example of this willingness to live with what the machine does can be seen in the rules that govern the widening of char objects for use in expressions: whether the values of char objects widen to signed or unsigned quantities typically depends on which byte operation is more efficient on the target machine.

> One of the goals of the Committee was to avoid interfering with the ability of translators to generate compact, efficient code. In several cases the Committee has introduced features to improve the possible efficiency of the generated code; for instance, floating point operations may be performed in single-precision if both operands are float rather than double.

I'm not saying anything about this particular person; just amused as to people's attitudes towards people who might be engaged in secret work on behalf of a government, as if detecting such a person is straightforward, or that people have "spy" on their passport, etc. If you look at the history of spying, leakers and double agents you can see people do it for all sorts of reasons; money, blackmail, belief that your country is doing something wrong or that you need to help your country defeat another country's ideology etc.

Reading her comments it made me wonder if women might be disposed to scar more easily (or men are more defiant) from this kind of treatment, creating a negative feedback loop in subsequent jobs and roles which negatively affects their careers. This is not intended to be a criticism of women, but rather it's question which may have important implications. Men may externalize this kind of sandbagging and stonewalling while women may tend to internalize it. If so it may be a much bigger deal than it may appear to a man because we're damaging our talent pool.

Service Discovery: An Amazon ECS Reference Architecture
I'm sensing a huge incomprehension in a great amount of posts. The key is to know the purpouse of tools. C is a "close-to-the-metal" type language. You can control a low-level things, execution time, "number of hops" when writing data, etc. If you want a friendly language with "no segfaults, no memory leaks" then go higher level (which in many cases is a better choice, i.e. a GUI desktop application with no performance constraint). If you have a problems wrigint in C then you simply still can't C and using the wrong tool for the task.

"But C? C's dead. It's the language for old programmers who want to debate section A.6.2 paragraph 4 of the undefined behavior of pointers"

Someone has to build the low-level stuff. Dear boys in too-tight pants and a hippie mustache: your high-level things and gluten-free snacks does not grow on trees.

That would likely fall under a civil statute. But criminal fraud seems likely. I'd be willing to take a bet on even more trivial matters like falsification of evidence once things started to go south ("it's the coverup, not the crime"). Investigated properly this will probably blow up the FDA too.
I'm with Zed on this one. Giving the programmer fewer things to have to remember, by design, is a de facto improvement. Forcing a human to repeatedly do a task which could have been designed out is evidence of a bad design.

Mind you, we're talking about the stdlib here. You can swap this stuff out. Some people do: djb is a fairly well-known example.

I thought long and hard about the future when 95% of the jobs as they exist today will be taken by robots. Initially, it would seem that people would be reduced to beggars, as they depend on BHI or other forms of welfare to subsist. But then it struck me:

You don't need jobs as long as you have land, renewable energy sources and robots (and 3d printers). You can live in a community that is self sufficient. You will be employed by your land, as it always was up until 100 years ago. We will also have robots, maybe not the latest generation, but we don't need to go back to the 19th century agriculture.

It is you who will benefit in the end, if you can use AI to improve your life. As long as AI doesn't remain locked in the hands of one entity and we all share into the benefits, it will work out ok. In the short run we need some sort of social welfare though, and to invest in renewables and self-sufficiency technologies.

How much self-sufficient a country, city, village or small farm could be? There is a lot of potential to migrate back to small community agrarian economy with robotics and 3d printing and solar panels.

<speculation>People could trade using a different currency than that used for robotic produced goods. This currency will have to enforce differentiation of economic agents (diversity) and integration (low barriers of entry). A currency that will automatically disable the accumulation of power in a few hands and work for humans. We have to build an economy that functions more like the brain. In the brain there is no master neuron. They all share in the activity. So should be an enlightened human society.</speculation>
Hmm. Suppose you personally don't think an article is very well written but don't want to deprive other people of the opportunity to read it; surely a single inoffensive post critical of it is better than losing the whole article? Posters on this site seem pretty mature and level headed so it's not like one person is going to start a riot.
It does if power was the limiting factor in clock speed.
Can't speak for anyone else, but while I think jails are "better" for a variety of reasons it seems clear there is far more market momentum behind Docker. More particularly, its toolchain. Given the choice between building myself (or relying upon a small, but talented, pool of devs) and drafting off tens of millions in VC cash and a much larger community I think some would prefer the ability to have a *BSD CI chain that is just a config setting in a Docker setup.
Yes. Although, not being locked into a single company's ecosystem of hardware and software is another requirement I have.
Migrate to Firebase – Google I/O 2016
Gotcha. As a heads up, there's a confirmed bug with HTTP/2 implementation on nginx 1.9.15 and 1.10.0. It seems to affect Safari and iOS (native and browser) markedly.

For me, the first HTTP/2 POST request to a server running the affected version of nginx would never leave the browser and Safari left a less than descriptive "Failed to load resource: Could not connect to the server." console message.

> There's a reason languages like Rust and Go rely heavily on static linking and stack allocation

This is untrue: Rust certainly does not do any optimisations linking statically by default, nor is there a difference between putting an array on the stack or on the heap. While it is true that code can benefit from whole-program optimisation, it isn't the default in either language, just like it isn't the default in C.

C can be replaced with a reasonable amount of effort with C++.

But C++ won't be easy to replace, and I'm not sure it needs to be, since rewrites are highly risky, time consuming and disruptive. With some luck and depending on how the language evolves we might be moving from C++ to a safer C++.

No, Apple was deleting stuff intentionally. That's clear from the articles and cited Apple boilerplate. The bug just caused unintended deletion.

My point is that any deletion is dangerous and unwarranted. If for no other reason, because it increases the risk of catastrophic bugs like this one. Sure, people should be backing up their stuff. But in this case, Apple acted like filecrypter malware. Worse, in fact, because there's no recovery key.

The article says it disappears from radar. When tracking aeroplanes there are two kinds of radar primary and secondary. Primary is actual radar, secondary isn't really radar at all but instead radio transmission of telemetry such as position, altitude, speed etc. This is equivalent to AIS, the system used to track boats that produced your image.

So we were tracking the plane but then the plane stopped transmitting tracking info for some reason (no idea if they even had it on primary radar). Someone could have turned it off or the plane could have crashed.
