The problem is that the same massive range of area denial weapons and cruise missiles also puts fixed assets such as airstrips and bases as far as Guam in jeopardy of attack. Thus there is the problem of how do you get platforms capable of delivering payloads onto your adversary.

Carrier's are efficient at that. Unlike fixed bases, they're far more difficult to track and hit. They can launch a large number of aircraft which can hit a larger number of targets with stand off munitions. Drones can be used to delivery, although it is worth noting that most modern cruise missiles effectively are drones themselves with a several hundred pound warhead.

The author completely ignores China's increasingly sophisticated anti-submarine underwater listening network. Just how stealthy are our submarines in comparison to the detection capability of a potential adversary? Furthermore how long with a submarine stay hidden after launching a cruise missile attack? If we're to assume that the range places it within the sphere of A2/AD then it would be just as vulnerable as a surface ship after attacking.

Which then begs the question of how do you deliver payloads? You could opt to instead rely on munitions which can be launched for farther away, but such munitions certainly would be more costly. I would think that the optimal solution in respect to limited resources would be some mix of long range munitions to counter area denial capability followed by the deployment of shorter ranged assets.

But that's just my 5cent as an enthusiast who doesn't actually have any professional experience in the matter. Although from what I read about the author, it appears we're on similar footing in that regard.
When I was at Google my entire management chain had the title "software engineer" (except Alan Eustace, who officially had the title "VP of engineering" but had a hardware engineering background, and Larry Page, who had the official title of "CEO"). That was 6 levels up, including me. Amit Singhal (who was 3 levels above me and responsible for a department of 2000 people or so) was still titled "software engineer".
Secondary sales will typically be limited to accredited investors, so you'd need either a) $1 million in net worth exclusive of positive equity in your primary residence or b) two years of $250k+ income and the reasonable certainty you'd have it in the following year.

Have you looked at nmap? It quickly identifies all devices, ports and IP addresses on a network. But you should use it only on your private IP address range.
It's not just religious traditions that continue this idea. Ancient Greek philosophy kicked this off as well. To be fair, this separation makes alot of thought easier/possible.

Hey, maybe a little off-topic. This course seems very interesting (I'm currently studying https://secureyournodejs.com/?p=setup), is there a demo of a course or a sample to see the flow of the class?.

> Without a carrier group, an overseas nation has no credible opportunity to bombard a far away theater, engage in air sorties, land troops, or any other expeditionary action. ... Defense of carriers is a problem that must be solved, or the U.S. would have to accept a military stalemate for naval warfare.

That might be lacking in vision. The aircraft carrier is the current means, but nations have engaged in overseas expeditionary actions before and without aircraft carriers. Just because the current solution might no longer be available doesn't mean there is no solution.

Arial bombardment is tougher without carriers, of course, but the U.S. bombed Iraq and Afghan targets using planes that took off and landed in the U.S. And the most likely solution there is missiles, which have become exceptionally accurate and which many think will dominate future battlefields.

Finally, whether or not we feel the carriers are essential, if they are ineffective on the battlefield then another solution will need to be found. Necessity is the mother of invention.
Hmm, are you looking for testers?

Author here - you nailed it. There's no useful discussing to be had about personal preferences when practically the entire country, notwithstanding a very small handful of places, is built as described in the artifice.

And as prevailing zoning laws, building rules and perverse government incentives currently stand, it is either outright illegal or massively uneconomical (thanks to the distortions) to build anything but Los Angeles.

When we have the option for urban living, then we can talk about who wants to live where. As it stands, the usual highway schlock is all the vast majority of us get.

>From the article: "Navy Capt. Henry Hendrix estimated China could produce 1,227 DF-21D ballistic anti-ship missiles for the cost of a single U.S. carrier."

Yes, and so what? They have not done it.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DF-21 indicates China is actively improving and expanding this satellite capacity.

Not as quickly as the US is improving its ability to knock them out. We have literally thousands of missiles that can take out satellites in LEO, and more every day. And that doesn't take into account things like jamming and lasers which could disable a satellite without blowing it up.

>You can say that about every weapon system in the world. If China built thousands of these, there's no way you're taking out all of them in a preemptive strike.

That's not how it works in real life - you don't have to take them all out. You only have to take out enough that between manufacturing defects, design failures, ECM, control systems degradation, antimissile systems, smoke, chaff, and more exotic stuff like lasers and rail guns, the remaining missiles don't hit a carrier. And remember, these are conventional missiles - they have to actually hit the carrier, which is not an easy thing to do. It's not like lobbing a nuke and calling it a hit if it lands within fifty miles of the target.

>Again, China can build thousands. An entire carrier battlegroup is going to have at most a few hundred SM-3s.

Again, so what? You're comparing a deployed carrier group today with a Chinese arsenal at some future date following a huge production spree they don't seem particularly interested in undertaking.

Saying you can build x missiles for every carrier is a meaningless statistic - it assumes a reasonable response from the US would be to build more carriers instead of upgrading the defenses of the carriers (or, more accurately, the carrier battle groups) we already have.
So wish we could have made it to this. In any case ZeroTier was conceived with Internet decentralization motives in mind specifically with the goal of making edge device connectivity easy. It can be and is used for other things but that was the original motive.

I am thinking..:

- Intel is working on adding analog audio over some unused pins on USB 3.1 (sfaik)

- Even if USB gets analog audio we will probably see the DAC+amp in computers and phones go away so they have more room for a battery

- With USB 3.1 headphones there would be a DAC+amp in/on the headphones

- With a DAC+amp on the headphones we could select to use the host computers' DAC+amp or the headphones' DAC+amp. Choice between quality or battery life?

- DRM sucks dicks - but there will always be a way to get between the DAC and the speaker for recording. Let's just limit consumer choice, amirite?

- Phones and laptops are all going USB, but there aren't nearly enough ports - I thought we killed fucking docks in the 90s. They're BACK?!?!

- USB and keyboard-cases became so expensive when tablets became popular... docks for more ports and audio will similarly be $100 and above.

- We might see the DAC+amp become another accessory to interchange between the digital audio source and the speakers. Another $100 device for enthusiasts.

- Lightning seems way better than USB type-c (physically better), but no way am I buying it just to be in the Apple crowd.

- Cash grab or DRM blitz? or both?
Man i always post such questions but never get responses at all. Sigh.
This is actually slightly incorrect. You seem to be calculating as if the clock rate were 3300MHz, even though the listed number in DDR (double data rate) is actually double the actual clock rate (IIRC, for marketing reasons).

On top of that, the CAS latency is given in cycles -- the cited CAS latency for DDR3-3300 is 16 cycles. Multiplying # cycles by time per cycle yields a value closer to 9-10ns. Note that this is the "first word" latency in this table.

- The other thing you may be talking about is this "bit time", which looks like it's simply inverse throughput. It's very important not to conflate throughput with latency.
The problem with looking it this way is you are ignoring another thing the brain does, which is to link events in memory with emotions, and triggering these emotional responses in turn release all kinds of chemicals that affect the way the brain functions.

Granted this link fades over time (and likely therapy helps), but the body is not always good at handling major stresses and the damage can become permanent.
Suggestions welcome. I tried to title it more descriptively than the original LWN or blog subjects, but it seems I failed. Sorry.
To/from Canada might want to look into NEXUS. Slightly more money but you get precheck, and immigration line skip both directions.
The dollar undergoes inflation. That makes it a pretty terrible investment. (It is, by definition, outperformed by near-zero-risk I-bonds.)
True, but there are plenty of travel hacks to throw at this problem.

To start, the amount of time spent in airport varies highly by city and airport.

There's room to optimize that time — Global Entry / NEXUS and TSA Precheck for example.

Taking one of the first flights in the morning or last flights at night can also significantly reduce it.

Public charter / executive airports are another. One example is Ultimate Air Shuttle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Air_Shuttle).

> Ultimate Air Shuttle offers various benefits to passengers that some other airlines do not. These services include no baggage fees, no cancellation fees, and the ability to arrive at the airport 15 minutes before scheduled departures.

I'm not saying charter is available and accessible for every route, but there are lots of options out there.

I don't think your "dead-end" job is hopeless as you think. You didn't clarify what the "professional services" entail, but if it is related to IT (as is your troubleshooting skills), then you could look at jobs where your existing skills and experience is valuable and you will able to refresh your CS skills. Maybe a DevOps job which is more Ops than Dev initially.

Sometimes the route to the dream job requires a detour.
They may say that, but I cannot fathom building a fully functioning carrier to be cheap by any measure. Chinese planners cannot possible expect for their artificial islands to last long in a conflict. They would be very vulnerable targets for cruise missile strikes from the Philippines, or Vietnam. So long as air power will play a significant part in warfare platforms to bring airpower where ever needed too will play a part.
Does anybody have any confidence in GTK over Qt at this point?..
>SIGSEGV is a very important signal. It happens when your program tries to access memory that it does not have. An appropriate reaction might be to

Exactly. LinkedIn is... IF that, only ONE of the 3 places the "Single People" of this context go. As a developer, people I want to work with are looking for me in many, many places. LinkedIn is definitely one of the "easy places" but that also means I get a lot of spam.

I'm going to look a lot more closely at my own website now. People who want to work with us, "search" for us, not "LinkedIn" for us - thankfully. This means local IRL networks, communities, a certain Q&A site, events and blogs if you were wondering.

This isn't my most coherent comment. I'm not happy with what has just happened at all.
Back around 2008, there was an aviation startup (forgot the name, started by an ex-IBMer) based out of the Boca Raton Airport. In order to use Boca as the base hub [1] it had to pay for window upgrades (and A/C) for houses in the flight path.

My house was in the flight path (about a mile from the airport as the plane flies; neighbor across the street? Not so lucky). Unfortunately, the airline went out of business due to the downturn in the economy (pity). So it is possible to internalize it.

[1] It was a charter air service. I was really looking forward to it. Even if it was more expensive than economy, it wasn't as expensive as business or first class. You did have to have very flexible travel schedule to get cheaper flights.

No. What it seems like is that they want more flexibility while developing GNOME (6 month cycle as it is now), and provide some stability for outside users of GTK+ too (2 year cycle).

>Yes, even more now that China is likely to become a 'peer' threat.

Eh... why? In 1950, with the Soviets bankrolling rebel groups and invasions all over the world you could make the argument countries needed alliances to counterbalance the threat. But today... is it really unreasonable to expect wealthy countries like Japan and Korea to see to their own defense?

While I agree at some point China is likely to be just as strong, militarily, as the US, I don't see a compelling US interest in using warships to defend, say, Japan's claim to groups of uninhabited islands in the middle of the South China Sea.

To paraphrase Pournelle, I'm happy to be a friend of freedom everywhere, but a guarantor only of my own.
I agree that these can be interesting experiments. I first played around with Bitcoin 5+ years ago when I could mine 50 Bitcoin every couple days on a cheap laptop. And like you I also have also have a background in economics. My conclusion at the time is the same as it is today. Most of these cryptocurrencies were a bunch of software developers thinking they knew more about economics that economists. That is where my comment comes into play. The issues discussed in this article are stuff you would learn about in any intro econ class. The fact that an apparently large percentage of people are "investing" in these currencies without knowing these concepts leads me to believe that they are a rather uninformed lot (uninformed is not necessarily the same as misinformed). That is the easiest sign that this is a bubble, people that know very little about it parking their money there and calling it "investing".

Regarding the returns, I will refer you to our old friend Keynes. "Markets can remain irrational a lot longer than you and I can remain solvent." Cryptocurrencies and related technologies have potential, but I have seen little evidence to suggest that current prices aren't completely irrational.

CEO and board have a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders. If Apple showed up with enough cash ($5-6B?) it would be hard for the board to say no. That kind of money might be an overpayment, but with the amount of cash that Apple has, you can afford to make any number of poorly priced strategic investments. Stripe is still small enough that Apple could vastly overpay and it would make little difference for Apple, while being enough money that the board had to agree to the deal.

That said, I sure hope they don't do that. Stripe would do better at a platform company like Amazon than Apple if it was decided they needed to be bought to continue growing.
It's not naive at all. The stakes might have to be high before the U.S. engages in that kind of coercion, but even that's not necessarily true and it's hardly unprecedented for the U.S. to throw its weight around. And the U.S. has other means of persuasion such as aid, access to the largest market in the world, the power to facilitate or stop other diplomatic, economic or political priorities, etc. etc.

One announced U.S. strategy in the Pacific is to spread forces widely rather than concentrate them, and to utilize bases of friendly nations (who don't need U.S. coercion these days with the Chinese government coercing them right into America's arms). The U.S. recently made such agreements with Australia, The Philippines, Vietnam, and Singapore, and of course has long-standing bases in Japan and South Korea. Indonesia is almost the only major nation left in the region who isn't on board.
It turns out if you want modern features you pretty much have to change everything that was done in the drawing model in gtk2.
This is IMO a big deal because MSFT will now own business identity. Linkedin will become your business ID regardless of which company you join. Owning identity that travels across companies is incredibly powerful. This is a huge upgrade to AD. It's provisioned, verified (socially) and serves as a huge data source.
> Once threads get involved, it becomes more complex to know which thread(s) will receive a given signal.

well, one approach that might be worth looking into would be to designate a special thread as a signal-handling-only thread. others just block every signal that can possibly be blocked. this signal-handling-thread then communicates the signals etc. to others as needed.

prima-facie, this boils down to signal handling for single threaded programs. what might be the downsides ?
Gawker was a great place to become a journalist
What the US wants to be able to do is clear. Prevent an invasion of Taiwan and cut off China's naval trade in a conventional war. Since the US is never going to fight a land war with China, they need to be able to impose a blockade. Otherwise, what can the US really threaten to do in a conventional war?
The people here are upvoting the celebration and downvoting the criticism for obvious reasons. They see themselves as the next $26B acquisition.

It's something akin to that quote:

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

I'd replace that with:

"Morality never took root in the people of the world because humans see themselves not as individuals of exploited mass but as temporarily embarrassed Overlords."
We considered doing something like x.y up to z.0. But that would require that developers bump their soname multiple times if we want them to port before the toolkit is considered long term stable. It's an awful lot of work to put on developers. We are trying to give them the best of both worlds, with the only variable being the time in which they chose to move.
I don't see a way we can have a direct democracy without facing the dangers of online voting.

We either trust in our politicians to represent us well, or trust in software we will lobby to peer-review.

Beyond that we trust the majority won't vote for stupid things.
