Within a standard deviation. Higher on average, but not much, and not significantly.

No where near enough to exert selection pressure.
Making fun of Windows is "witty?" I thought this was a more serious forum.
The game is over a dozen years old and from what I have experienced seems relatively complete. Sure, it's not 1.0, but at this point it is not hard to envision a functional ncurses-like interface built around the concepts that DF's current UI establishes, to say nothing of more exotic (or modern) alternatives.

But, as you say, it's their project. They can do with it what they want. I can sit here and critique and wish it were better, and you can defend it, and together we change nothing. I just really want to play a game as inspired as this in a way that doesn't require the kind of devotion and study this game does, because its a friggin videogame and I need to devote my studyin' time to shit that actually matters (to me, touche).

(And besides, I think we human beings have a fetish for complexity that we really could do without)
In the fast-moving world of IT security it's refreshing to see that Symantec's web site makes no mention of these profoundly important vulnerabilities on their landing page

They don't seem to have any Status / Current Alerts style pages -- but on their somewhat hard to find blog page we find the most recent update from the guys is from two days ago:

"Malicious app found on Google Play, steals Viber photos and videos"

http://www.symantec.com/connect/symantec-blogs/symantec-secu...

EDIT: Oh, they have a Vulnerabilities page - https://www.symantec.com/security_response/landing/vulnerabi... - with the most recent entries listed as 13 days ago (blimey that US mm/dd/yyyy date format is uncomfortable).
That's wrong. With the Bayesian interpretation of probability, you can assign probability to any event. In fact all certainty about belief is just probability in disguise.

There were betting markets for the brexit vote. They assigned 25% probability to brexit. Of course markets aren't perfect. But anyone who really believes they know better should be able to get rich off them. And somehow that doesn't happen. So they are the best estimates of probability we have.
Is there such a thing as a language that compiles to a value rather than an executable program?

I've done a really hacky version of something this where a user would input a succinct, high-level description of a sequence of colored lighting, and my program would parse* that and build the tedious, low-level JSON representation of that sequence for yet another program to perform. Is there a fancy or unfancy name for that?

*Ok really it was a little bit of munging and then eval.
The biggest boom yet
Did a little of that, myself.

A lot of the fundamental premise there did actually happen, just with different technologies. Today, there's a lot of sending structured data (in forms like JSON) to server- or client-side templates and components that render in a declarative way.

Is there an alternative with similar features that I could pay once for the software and use it forever? Maybe the sync feature can be done with dropbox, google drive...
Alright fine, whatever, minor details. Isometric, fully 3d, 2d, who cares? Nearly anything is better than what it is right now.
That is exactly the mentality that allowed me to scrape back my concentration and productivity.

If I am to open my phone it has to be with intent. I need to be achieving something.

The idle twiddling of thumbs waiting for something to react to is what becomes a bad habbit, and drives the need to constantly check your phone even though nothing is happening on it.
1. You are assuming brain health means learning.

2. You are assuming fights exert the same effect as exercise.

3. You are assuming the selection pressure is great enough to effect allele frequency.

4. You are assuming humans fight alone.

5. You are assuming humans have extra knowledge to be gained in a split second of a fight.

6. You are assuming said extra knowledge would be overwhelmingly adaptive in a physical fight.

Breaking down adaptation is all about understanding your assumptions. It is easy to speculate, but it is hard measure evolution. However, given rigorous study we can measure adaptation mathematically and quantify it's impacts.
I live in a rural area of northern Indiana that is about 1 hour outside of a medium-sized city (around 250,000). I don't own a car. I rely on rides from family, and unusual combinations of taxis and buses when in town.

I've experienced none of the problems you describe, and I've used taxis in small (less than 30,000 people), medium (100,000 - 300,000 people) and large (Boston (where I lived for a long time), Chicago (nearest large city to me now), New York (visited friends there many times), Austin (work travel), Paris (worked there in 2010), and various other places I traveled) cities and towns.

If you call with a bit of advanced notice, it's rarely an issue. If you call at the last minute, of course there's a problem. But the exact same problems happen with Uber/Lyft.
To be honest, I wouldn't put AV on anything but Windows. There I'd opt for Microsft's Security Essentials since it's the least offensive/annoying solution.

On mac and linux I just don't see the need unless you're doing questionable things or trust shady sources. Be aware that macOS also comes with a very basic and rudimentary protection built-in called XProtect.

Came here to say this. It's an amazing tool. Set it as your git difftool and it will change your life. I switched to Mac about 8 years ago and ran it in Wine for a long long time until they finally released a Mac version. Their diff algorithm is so damn perfect no other diff tool compares, and I've tried SOO MANY. It lives up to its name. It's an amazing tool that's crossed platforms with me, and I'd rather give up my left hand.
The dude writes good code. He's the author of Uglify.
The first tool I run on new Macs is osxlockdown[1] (use [2] if you want a UI). It disables a bunch of features and enables things like the firewall. Make sure you don't disable things you're actually using, though. I don't run any AV, but I use OpenDNS Umbrella, a DNS-level malware blocking service with the capability to switch to "active" traffic filtering (basically a MitM proxy, though that part is completely optional). It's a neat tool with a nice dashboard, and the pricing is okay with $20/year.

OSSEC is a great tool for servers, but not the kind of "Let's just throw some AV at it so we can tick that compliance box" tool many are looking for.

Since it offers 20Gbps to the VM, i'd guess it's a 25GbE NIC, since those and accompanying switches have just come out.

VXLAN in the NIC (and the switch) at full line-rate offload has been a thing for at least 18-24 months.

Most Modern NICs also support all of the features listed here, like checksum offload, Receive steering, multi-queue, etc. Check out Mellanox CX4/5, Intel X710, QLogic, and Netronome if you want fancy stuff. They aren't even that expensive anymore.

Their Linux driver has support for every current and future standard: 1/2.5/5/10/25/40/50/100/200/400G, nice future proofing.

They also have a DPDK driver: http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/drivers/net/ena/base/ena_co...

Fair point, though at times it seems that the markets and regulators in this space tend to favor turnkey products, appliances, et cetera. To ride on your car analogy (pun intended), one finds it is not easy buying directly from a manufacturer, the heavy bias is towards the dealerships.
I wonder how many writers ever sat through a grammar class[0]. Of course, I somewhat romantically consider a writer to be a person who doesn't learn to be one.

Valuebet_App – Moving up in the Ranks
Well, at some level every language compiles to a value rather than an executable program - the parse tree of a source module is a data structure describing the program, and the executable is a sequence of bytes that is interpreted by the processor.

There's a continuum between this and what we think of as a "value" in programming terms (eg. an int or a string), but the boundary is fuzzy. It was pretty common at Google to write DSLs that compiled to a protobuf that'd be loaded into the server as configuration, for example. CUDA compiles programs into a buffer that is then sent to the GPU. HTML compiles into the DOM, which is a value that can be manipulated with Javascript.
I already use cgroups to limit chrome, though i believe this has little effect when things are leaking. Would prefer official notifications like "this website/extension is bloated garbage" or "warning jquery! amateurs ahead!".

I'd rather have an option to control chrome's memory usage (--memory-model isn't good enough) and discarding of active tabs—always swapping like nuts, might as well use it...
Physicists have a better understanding of statistics and better data to work with than pyschologists. There is a very clear causal explanation for why greenhouse gases do what they do. With that said, there is not enough discussion about the cost and effectiveness of proposed solutions to global warming - a lot of the "solutions" are more feel-good measures, which are not worth the cost for what they do. Global warming is a global problem - if the US stopped all of its contributions to climate change the earth would keep warming up.

As a physics grad student I have seen plenty of "negative" results published, and the standard of positive results for instance 3 or even 5 sigma is a much tighter standard than p > 0.05. Science is a big field, the problems in one domain do not necessarily translate into all domains. However there are other fundamental problems with physics as a field.
> Is it artistic statement, or laziness? Or something else? Software, like all interactive mediums, has a functional component that you can't just ignore.

Of course it can be ignored. Given the depth of the feature list (see the original link), and the vagueness of the items on it, it's not surprising that they haven't gone through and come up with a comprehensive and perfect UI before anything else has actually been implemented.

Instead the UI grows to accommodate the features as they are added, like every other program in existence.
That looks great, thank you for sharing!
We poked RabbitMQ, Gearman, SQS, a few others, and never got the reliability we demanded. To be fair, we're handling in the order of 50 million messages a day.

Ended up just writing a simple file system based queue in Golang and it's working spectacularly. Just let the SSD do the work. Couple hundred loc all told. We rarely crack 10-15% cpu and memory use sits statically at around 30mb.

grsecurity just disables it outright IIRC (the new one that was added sort of recently, probably year+ at this point).
Yeah, that makes sense. I'll make sure to do that. It was kind of time-consuming typing out the couple tables I did add.

I used latexmk which watches file(s) for changes and rebuilds with pdflatex. It was nice, but made my laptop run real hot, and inotify never really works very well.

To be fair, that's a similar bug to what Dwarf Fortress had until recently: unless you built walls from certain directions, your dwarves would end up on the "wrong side." And you can't say Dwarf Fortress doesn't have stupid bugs; a recent fort had a were-elephant scared up into a tree. He couldn't climb down, being an elephant, but inflicted terror on anyone who dared approach, including a lumberjack instructed to chop the tree down. In fact, the stupid bugs make the game amusing [and frustrating] [and !FUN!].
I realize that it's better than nothing but be careful with the default AppArmor profiles, they're very coarse grained and allow a lot of stuff that they don't really have to for compatibility reasons (so they just work). I'm not saying they're useless but they could certainly be better and/or tweaked to your needs.
I was not concerned about it from a security perspective at all. What I'm concerned about is poor software engineering. The fact that something like a particular flavor of VPN needs to be integrated directly into the kernel smells to me like a shortcut to skip improving the kernel to enable better userland networking code. Why this VPN proto and not the next hot item of the month? How about we start throwing some load balancing code directly into the kernel? How about some TLS termination?

Oooh, I like the .bib idea. I might steal it and use it for select things---I decided it'd be a good idea to go back (sorta) and finish my BS, so creating one for each class might be a very good idea.

For me, it seems that the power of this model is not that "we have a single head", rather than, "we can enforce everyone use the newest library version (expect for sometimes create a whole new interfaces)".

Let's suppose we have a tool that can

* automatically check out the HEAD of each dependent repo

* run a complete integration tests across all the repo before any push/check-in.

This will work fine even with a multi-repo model, won't it?

Also, As mentioned earlier by others, The reason google can do it is because google can
* maintain a powerful cloud-based FUSE file system to support the fast checkout

* run automated build tests before any submits to ensure the correctness of any build

So they don't need to maintain multiple dependency version(for the most time)
I think it could be a mistake to put this out there when it's still so early. The features are not there(0) yet and it's likely to be overhauled a lot.

It's an extremely exciting proposition and I both hope and think it will become a force to be reckoned with in the erlang community.

This Is What Happens When You Reply to Spam Email
In 3 out of the 4 jobs I've had in America, I have paid zero premium for health insurance (100% paid by employer), and had either 4 or 5 weeks of vacation (not including between 9 and 12 company holidays too).

Even with the exchange rate, my base salary was more than triple the $50k euros amount, and I have < 4 years of experience. I am a specialist in my area which makes my case a bit harder to compare, but still, the offer of provided healthcare and 4 weeks vacation doesn't make foreign jobs more attractive to me. I've had that in almost every American job I've had and also was paid a wage that was high enough to comfortably exceed local cost of living. In fact, I generally find that when an employer has to start nervously listing side perks like medical coverage or vacation as apologetic offerings to excuse an obviously poor salary relative to cost of living, it's a huge red flag that they know they are not equipped to recruit exceptional people.

In all my comments I am already talking about how much money you have left after general cost of living expenses. Even though such costs are lower in Berlin than in many major US cities, the salaries in Berlin are even lower at a disproportional level. Unless you adopt a more ascetic lifestyle, your lower salary in Berlin will not stretch as far despite the lower costs. The costs, while lower, aren't low enough.

grsecurity[1] for linux.

You don't even have to use RBAC if you don't want to (you can still use AppArmor/SELinux/etc) but RBAC comes with a built-in learning mode which is good and will likely do a better job than you could and generating a profile. Sure you'll probably have to hand tune it a bit but for production servers I see no reason why RBAC couldn't be used with it's training/learning mode.

Use of DSLs and tools like flex and bison makes the implementation a whole lot more reliable (but only if they're used, and some commonly run languages have a very implementation-specific grammar).

consider:

input: /* empty string */
| input line
;

line: '\n'
| exp '\n' { printf ("\t%.10g\n", $1); }
;

exp: NUM { $$ = $1; }
| exp '+' exp { $$ = $1 + $3; }
| exp '-' exp { $$ = $1 - $3; }
| exp '*' exp { $$ = $1 * $3; }
| exp '/' exp { $$ = $1 / $3; }
| '-' exp %prec NEG { $$ = -$2; }
| exp '^' exp { $$ = pow ($1, $3); }
| '(' exp ')' { $$ = $2; }
;

When you optimise a program, you do so by looking at how things work and then optimise for that specific case (e.g. "instruction A runs faster than instruction B and can achieve the same result, so let's use instruction A everywhere"). This comes at the expense of lower performance in hypothetical worlds with different laws of physics.

That ""500k a year noncompete" is a great hypothetical, but it doesn't happen in this world, so we shouldn't worry too much about sacrificing it to improve performance of a hotspot.

Well, male nipples are spandrels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spandrel_(biology)

That is, they're useful for the female and not particularly harmful for the male, so they live on.

It's also an instance of DRY (don't repeat yourself) "coding" in our DNA: basically males and females carry the same instructions, with a bunch of randomly interspersed if/else conditions that hinge on the presence of testosterone (coded for in the small Y chromosome)

It's awesome that they're able to devote their lives to their artwork, and I like reading about it from time to time, but in the end it's an unappealing value proposition for someone with limited time.

>Also, as a side note, I want the FCC to ban the LTE-over-5ghz plan. 5ghz is ours

agreed, but i think simply banning LTE-over-5Ghz is not going far enough. We need a segment of spectrum reserved for end-user network communication - wifi is so important, shoving it into unlicensed spectrum seems like a bad idea. regulation should codify it as "ours". The cost and ease of use of ubiquiti bridges that operate on unlicensed wifi spectrum is quickly becoming a problem as well, as all our devices have to start competing with the private bridge networks.
Amazon Elastic File System is now generally available
We use a columnar database and we insert data to it periodically (30s to 90s) using Kinesis as middleware. Files are immutable and each insert creates [count of columns] * [count of tables] files. The database also periodically merges the batch files in background.

Since EFS was not available, I was trying to develop a FUSE filesystem that writes data to both S3 and local filesystem (EBS) for durability and read only from local filesystem for performance. Even though it's cheaper than EFS, it's slow since each file needs to be sent to S3 individually. Our requirements are not that much because the files are immutable, there are not many files (I heard that EFS doesn't work well with many small files.), no need for concurrent access. I think I will give it a shot since it also fits our use-case.
