I've managed to compile Python 3.5 from source setting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.8 on the Makefile (after doing ./configure). But by default it compiles Python to a static library, which is quite ok, but I am having trouble compiling to a "Framework", which I think would give me the dynamic library.

Although Python is widely used, everything related to these kind of things seems to be poorly documented..

Edit: just need to do "./configure --enable-shared" and it will compile Python as shared library (libpython3.5m.dylib)..

Totally. Always loved John Stewart and Steven Colbert because they were comedians first and educators/activists whatever you want to call it second. Even when you didn't agree with them politically you still got a laugh and saw what might be some ridiculous holes in your own beliefs. John Oliver was pretty funny but he has just become a left wing slacktivist at this point. Larry Wilmore doesn't seem to be a comedian at all as far as I can tell.
Recruiters should be administering work sample tests tuned to the signal of what the company makes, and the company should be doing security audits at a regular interval.

It's strange that candidates would be expected to have any knowledge of security when security is very hard to get right. This is the domain of a dedicated specialist, not a generalist who's usually pressed for time and whose work usually isn't audited.

If you want to get security 90% right, you can spend a few days doing the cryptopals challenges. But you need to get security 100% right, because 90% right means your systems can be compromised. A situation like that pretty much demands security audits.

(It doesn't help that the go-to answer of "Who should we contact to get a security audit?" is "Someone that will charge half a year's salary of a decent engineer," though.)
I bought a Mikrotik a month or two ago, expressly so I could install OpenWRT on it, and use it to get around the Chinese firewall with Shadowsocks. The OpenWRT install never worked, so now I just have a (pretty nice) router, doing what routers are supposed to do. It's long since that OpenVPN didn't work in China, but this should provide a good learning experience, and who knows, maybe it will lead me to something that works.
While the first example of car sizes and Roman chariots is likely incorrect (as the article itself points out, and it's also suspiciously familiar to the debunked railroad gauge/Roman chariot story[0]), I'm always fascinated by stories like this. It underlies the organic nature by which many of our systems have grown.

The same kind of "cruft" you see in systems and designs that have been around for a long time (Why is it the "Referer" header in HTTP? Why do we still call it Ajax/XHR when XML is rarely used?) is seen in many aspects of life.

Etymology is choke full of them. Consider the word, "consider" - its roots may have meant something like "consult the stars" at one point in time. (I think I first read about this in Sagan's Cosmos)

All that matters is unit economics — if a single tomato takes significantly less money to grow in that farm than in an ordinary one, these "two million pounds" will turn into billions pretty soon.
Choosing the wrong abstraction is an occupational hazard with software development. ;-)

In a lot of cases in enterprise Java, it felt to me like the problem was exacerbated by commercial interests that had an abstraction to sell, and needed to find use cases for it.
At my PPOE it was 50% too. I can remember being in meetings where everyone except one PHB was left handed.

Clearly pandering to the young, left crowd.

John Oliver was on UK television a lot before moving to the US. He was doing the same sort of material back then - left-leaning, political, and insightful. He isn't pandering. He (and his team) is broadcasting what he actually believes.

But the goal of the system isn't fairness, it's to provide needed skills to American businesses. It sounds like you're looking at this from the perspective of a job-seeking foreign national, but that's not actually a constituency here, they aren't American, don't vote, and our government is not intending to help them with this program.

The supposed point is to make sure American companies can compete. The idea of only allowing the very highest paid foreign workers in, and them all being software developers, has literally nothing to do with that goal.
The tactic seems questionable. I'd rather give money to people who provide legal assistance to folks getting hassled by debt collectors, and spread information about people's rights under the FDCPA and other laws.

The reason for that being, buying up bad paper raises the value of it, whereas letting people know their rights lowers the value of it. If bad paper was worth less, debt originators would have stronger incentives to work something out with their insolvent customers rather than sell to shady debt collectors.

> The problem where the people who just switched to Ubuntu 16 are hitting problems with high-end database servers, middleware, containers, large builds, and so forth all running out of threads because of another systemd default that was switched by its developers, is still quietly on-going.

That's evil. Thanks for pointing that out. Terrible to debug, poorly documented and funny side effects you don't immediately think off. That fork bomb reasoning for the change is also sketchy as if you have local privilege you can DoS the machine in a lot of other ways (cpuburn, filling the disk, hogging memory and causing swap of death). If you run a public SSH server you likely already used cgroups and other measures to prevent fork bombs.

> 2. Maybe this estimation thing is impossible to get right, let's not put too much trust in being able to estimate accurately, but rather find ways of working that don't require estimating all work up front.

Isn't agile the #2 option quoted above? Agile in game development means being able to estimate how long it'll take to add fire damage to a weapon. It's not a means of being able to budget out 3 years worth of development, let alone hit a shipping date that far out.
I'm obviously wrong about this, but I'm surprised there isn't a greater arbitrage opportunity in this -- if one could average out just $10 in collection on average, you'd make a sizable profit on the debt he bought... I wonder if you were to just call and tell these people you bought these debts, and if they'd like to make a donation to help you keep doing this work in the future, I'm curious if it could be self-sustaining...

Documenting these relationships would potentially be a really, really valuable thing to do "going forward". It helps to make explicit things that are currently implicit, and possibly unknown. It then opens up the possibilities of making optimisations like using Linear Programming, but at the very least it reduces risk and helps to share knowledge.

Good luck!
Its a good show to watch on and off. I already know what his stance will be on any given issue so I mostly watch it for the comedy aspect which tends to get repetitive.

Not saying I do or don't agree with him, but you don't have to be wrong to be preachy. When you're a comedian you need to be at least 80% funny. If you're 50% funny 50% preachy I'm not going to bother. Southpark use to danced this line pretty successfully.
Not really, once they've gotten in the only intervention is aggressive quarantining and drenching everything with pesticides. Outside, there's much better access to things that eat pests, e.g. wasps/spiders/viruses, and infestations are less likely to be catastrophic.

Of course, this might be different in inner-city environments and there are people that supply some types of pests' pests for use in greenhouses.
The show is very entertaining and sheds some light on important issues, but don't kid yourself: you are being manipulated by masterful editing and writing, just like any other compelling "news" program. Everything in the show is filtered through a carefully worded script and is biased as hell. But I still love it. Just be sure you know what you're watching.
Often it seems that facts, evidence, and observation are derided as "left".

I find John's commentaries to be suitably supported by substance, with constructive conclusions.

I worry that characterization as "left" is a defence against cognitive acknowledgements that just happen to be dissonant with neurostatic precepts.

If it's the case this whole thing could be a way to take risks you couldn't take with your name + the additional PR from the model.
In theory, everyone knows what's the best (or at least a good enough) way to do something like this.

In practice, there's a lot more things involved leading to stupid decisions like this. Something that was supposed to be temporary made permanent by growing technical debt, unclear responsibilities, moving priorities, etc.

Security is never any company's top priority just because it's not visible. Changing a color of a button is normally more important.

I saw Trevor Noah do the "Africa or America"[0] bit on The Daily Show back when the news about him taking over was out. I loved it and went and found all the stand-up of his I could find. I thought it was similarly great. He's actually a large part of why I decided to sign up for Hulu, but to be honest it lacks the punch I was expecting. Maybe he'll grow into the role, but it's turned into a show I just watch in the background while I'm working.

Amazing! Douglas Hofstadter's "Goedel, Escher, Bach" introduces a formal system called Typogenetics designed to resemble the system of RNA and DNA and its replication. He poses the question of the shortest psuedo-RNA chain that can self-replicate. He doesn't provide a solution in the book but plenty have been found online. I had no idea there was also a solution for the _real thing_!

Born and raised in Maine, worked there for 5 year or so, but can't imagine going back. Maybe if I got something remote I'd go back for a few months in the summer(Maine is awesome for about 2-3 months) but there's almost no jobs and if you manage to get one the pay is abysmal. Oh and winter is like 5 months long, so living there year round is brutal(a lot of people move to Maine for 1 to 3 years and leave after the first bad winter)
The reason they were able to try these inane ideas wasn't because they had the "balls." There are plenty of foolish, arrogant, and naïve people out there who think they know better than the experts on any given topic you might care to name. The reason they were able to do this was because Google was showering the proceeds of their search advertising down on them.

Or PBKDF2, which would be my preference in any stuffy corporate environment. Nobody ever got fired for following NIST/FIPS standards.

I'd use bcrypt if I were working on my own project though. I think scrypt goes too far, I would actually be concerned about its speed and memory utilization hurting responsiveness for any sort of web server or other latency-sensitive system.

Preparing for IPv6-Only Mobile Networks: Why and How
I hope this reality check cools off all the zealots. To me, this is, like, "duh!" At best, extremely risky to spend your money on; at worst, obviously stupid.
Very comprehensive. A lot of edge cases though. To my understanding the Memories compilation [1] consisted of 3 films (Magnetic Rose, Stink Bomb, Cannon Fodder), and while they were all sci-fi there's only one I would really consider to fit the genre (Cannon Fodder). Magnetic Rose is borderline and Stink Bomb just plain isn't for obvious reasons (lol). GenoCyber I wanted to watch but I've heard it is more a masterpiece in gore than anything remotely Cyberpunk.

A lot of these I have simply never heard of (& I thought I was an expert) so I will have to check 'em out. I always say that good starting off points are the Masamune Shirow films and OVAs (GiTS, Appleseed, Black Magic, Dominion, etc) and Psycho-Pass (a real gem).
Much as with generics in C++, the correct approach generally tend to be too assume exceptions can be thrown at any time. Java's try-with clauses make that a bit more natural than it used to be.

Ironically, I think a lot of Java's abstraction pain comes from having much more fixed behavior. The static type system, the late introduction of generics, the large base class hierarchy, and the concern with backwards comparability means you've got a ton of behavior and interfaces that are locked down with specific (often poor) abstractions.

Welcome to the glorious Internet of Things where security is an afterthought (or barely thought about).
Was my response angry? Was not my intention - I just wanted to point out where the grudge is coming from.

I guess the debate is so toxic because it's a perfect bikeshedding topic everyone that uses Linux can somehow participate in. Some sysadmins are surely frustrated because it breaks the way they worked in the past years, others are happy about the new features.

I'm undecided but if I read this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11675129 I'm really feeling uncormfortable. Hitting this and debugging it seems like a nightmare. So I guess it's a win and eases a lot of pain points for ordinary users but make the live of specialists a lot harder. I can imagine how you hitting these bugs regularly turns you into posting something in the angry territory.

On the other hand the debate is now mostly technical (except some trolls).
Except you have the right to tell debt collectors to stop contacting you (sue or get off the pot, essentially) over any given debt, and they face statutory damages if they ignore that.

IANAL.
I don't have a reference for the sentiment, but I do have a couple thoughts on the matter.

The first is that I've actively used Clojure on a number of (small) projects, and tend not to have had significant performance issues with the persistent data structures. Where I have run into issues is around laziness, but that's probably a design issue more than anything else. (http://www.ksmpartners.com/2014/01/clojure-lazy-seq-and-the-...)

Having said that, I do find it very easy to believe that the persistent data structures cause performance problems. A few months ago, I was working on a small search program using ES6 and ImmutableJS. Removing ImmutableJS (and retaining the same number of object copies in my replacement code) resulted in something like a 100-fold increase in performance (making my program fit for the intended purpose.)

I need to do a bit more analysis, but my general thought on the reason why this happened is that the the data structures I was managing were too small for the structure sharing to offer any real benefit. The net result being that the negative performance impact caused by the more complex underlying data structure and API access just swamped whatever gains there were in the faster copying. Of course, for this to become favorable for the persistent data structure, the size of the data would need to be considerably larger. I don't know how common a use case that really is.
I'm a homeowner and an active Waze user. The street I live on is not "my" street. It's a public street that any licensed driver may use.

I did have an issue with drivers coming around a blind curve too quickly to be safe, though, so I did what these homeowners ought to be doing and contacted my local government about getting my street assessed for a traffic calming project.

The city created a three-way stop before the curve that has slowed traffic on the street and seems to have reduced non-local traffic.

Sure, that project took time and may not have even happened in the first place if the city hadn't judged it worth doing, but that's the appropriate course in my opinion. Anything else just feels like NIMBY entitlement.

My main problem with John Oliver is that he often chimes in on subjects he doesn't know anything about with folksy common sense logic that is often wrong. I remember him mocking some system for using tapes for storage on the belief that a technology that is so old cannot possibly be useful in modern technologies. In his latest clip, he mocks information being passed by Excel. How does he think things happen? Some magical global technological system with perfect information and transparency? Perhaps he should try to build such a system.

By critiquing a system that he knows nothing about makes the criticism ring hollow.
I think he means that, after watching show X, he wasn't feeling an urge to watch show X+N, for multiple values of X.

The volume weight ratio of leafy greens, is much higher compared to tomatoes. Second the shelf life of leafy greens is lower compared to fruit crops.

In respect to transportation costs, shelf life and transportation distance, it makes sense growing these crops near their distribution points.

Second not to forget the benefit of CO2 reduction in urban area's, as there is less and less space for nature in urban areas.

The only downside is the energy usage, this has been reduced using LED lighting, but is still compared to traditional greenhouse or open-field growing.
