What alternative decision are you imagining? A service like this can’t depend on Git alone. It needs to know when the repo is updated (e.g. GitHub’s webhooks) and has to publish its results somewhere (e.g. GitHub’s commit statuses). So it only really works with hosted repos.

Since each hosting service has a different API, each integration needs to be built individually. And it makes sense to integrate with GitHub first because it’s the most popular repo host.
Have there been any efforts to have tree shaking work with react?

It's not a magic bullet, but it can go a long way in helping remove a ton of unused-for-your-use-case code in your production build.
The problem isnt so much SVG rendering, its that you can grab an icon font with 400 icons that look great, its easy to add them to places beside text, like in menus or on buttons.

You can use SVG, but there is no CDN-hosted SVG sprite with 400 icons to replace things like FontAwesome or Ionicons, so you would have to find all the SVGs you wanted. Then you have the challenge of getting them the right size and position beside text in very tight spaces.
There's also a somewhat similar service a friend and myself evaluated a couple of months ago, we had similar ideas but we eventually let go of our prototype because of "fear" of said competition ...

DepdendencyCI already did better than us in that regard and it seems like they are doing an an all-around great job (I especially like the multi language support)! :)

Hattip to the team!
Yes - but it was part of the UK then at the time - not an independent state an only partly had its own parliament during that time.

And React can't prevent any of those. React can only change React code, so they optimize it as best as they can, and leave the "user" of React to optimize everything else in their own app.
This is truly disheartening. I hope that other providers follow suit and choose the privacy of their customers over profits. This move is unacceptable by the Russian government. To save logs as required by this radical new Russian legislation is to compromise the entire concept of a VPN. I hope that the US government takes note of how direct of an impact this has on the tech industry in Russia, and how it can happen here in the US if the government keeps encroaching on privacy as they have been doing in the past few years. It's going to kill our tech industry if we don't stop.

Why are you under the impression that it needs to be increased?
This is a copy of the email I received from them last night:

To Our Beloved Users,

The Russian Government has passed a new law that mandates that every provider must log all Russian internet traffic for up to a year. We believe that due to the enforcement regime surrounding this new law, some of our Russian Servers (RU) were recently seized by Russian Authorities, without notice or any type of due process. We think it’s because we are the most outspoken and only verified no-log VPN provider.

Luckily, since we do not log any traffic or session data, period, no data has been compromised. Our users are, and will always be, private and secure.

Upon learning of the above, we immediately discontinued our Russian gateways and will no longer be doing business in the region.

To make it clear, the privacy and security of our users is our number one priority. For preventative reasons, we are rotating all of our certificates. Furthermore, we’re updating our client applications with improved security measures to mitigate circumstances like this in the future, on top of what is already in place. In addition, our manual configurations now support the strongest new encryption algorithms including AES-256, SHA-256, and RSA-4096.

All Private Internet Access users must update their desktop clients at https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/ and our Android App at Google Play. Manual openvpn configurations users must also download the new config files from the client download page.

We have decided not to do business within the Russian territory. We’re going to be further evaluating other countries and their policies.

In any event, we are aware that there may be times that notice and due process are forgone. However, we do not log and are default secure against seizure.

If you have any questions, please contact us at helpdesk@privateinternetaccess.com.

Thank you for your continued support and helping us fight the good fight.

Sincerely,
Private Internet Access Team
Solar cells add weight. As an energy source its hard to quantify them since they never run out, and weight the same the whole trip. Maybe more like batteries. Anyway energy/kilo is probably pretty bad. So for any finite trip, leave off the solar cells and use gasoline.

A lot of the Irish define themselves, historically, in terms of opposition to the British.
>> Northern Ireland should just pull out of the UK already and the whole island can return to being Ireland

From what I recall, NI is not in a position to fund itself without UK assistance. Ireland would have to foot that.

The bigger issue is that such a move (a united Ireland) would spark a new round of terrorism and instability.

Bear in mind that while AFL may feed you a binary string, you can "decode" that into whatever you want. It may take a bit of creativity or bit-shifting, but it can be done. You're free to grab 8 bits off the front and start setting global run-time flags or something, for instance. It's just data.

Also due to the way that AFL works, if you have a branch at the beginning of your program that immediately exits if it sees non-ASCII input, you don't lose all that much time, because AFL sees that as the same branch being exercised over and over again and hammers only on the input that allowed it to progress past that. In fact I think I almost always use AFL on text-based protocols, and it works fine. It's a common use case for AFL.
Anecdotally, I eat two eggs with hot sauce and toast for breakfast every morning. Lipid panel just came back fine. When I switched from cereal I stopped feeling like crap all morning.

Alternatively, ROI should accept NI too?

NI is actually a pretty expensive place to run.
No, after the act of Union it was part of the United Kingdom of Ireland and Great Britain, ruled by the British crown and Westminster. Prior to that it was actually a distinct political entity (The Kingdom of Ireland) with its own parliament in Dublin, but ruled by the British crown.

For quite some time during the Troubles there was a defacto hard border between N. Ireland and everywhere else. If you wanted to drive across the border, fly to anywhere in the UK, or catch the ferry you had to present photo ID of some kind.
I converted this year to using Linux on all of my computers, and with some compatibility of FSF and Apache 2 licenses, this is 'easy' to do (e.g., the community version of IntelliJ is Apache 2, so a decent IDE slips into my mostly GNU based working and writing environment). I like to wear FSF tee shirts, and I feel like I am being true to the cause, even if I do have an iPad and Apple TV to watch Netflix. I am a member of the FSF and I personally feel like it is OK to have these non-free devices around as long as my working and writing environment is libre software.

No, the normal world eats fresh berries. Freezing them is cruel enough, but then microwaving that seems like the worst thing you can possibly do to a berry. I'm just curious, what precisely do you think you're eating after that? Cause it's sure not berries.

But then again, may be that's natural in a nation that has only ever tasted plastic tomatoes.

yes. it doesn't make sense from any design perspective. alignment is an important visual signifier and usability design tool.

It's pretty likely the US will lower its corporate tax rate in the next decade to counter the big corporations that keep leaving. Most of Ireland's pharma industry consists of American-owned corporations that fled to Ireland solely for low corporate tax purposes. If you adjust the US corporate tax rate down, they can just as easily move back.

Hillary is almost without question going to win the election. She has proclaimed that her husband would have a star role in regards to improving the economy. One of Bill's core economic ideas is to flatten the US corporate tax rate - lower the rate and remove various subsidies and loopholes - to make the US far more competitive with the rest of the world. If the US matches Western Europe on corporate tax rates - Europe has the lowest corporate tax rates of any major economic region - it'll begin pulling very large amounts of capital and major corporations away from everyone else.

Please confirm 2nd gen Intel bugginess in YMM overlapping
Hi,
after some tests, by accident, I found a bug in Intel i5-2430M execution of YMM register reads/writes with overlapping, one fellow on CodeProject confirmed that Intel 3rd gen executes the same testcode fine, so my question is:
Does this bug occur, say, in other Sandybridges?

"Emacs is so much better than Vi"
Thanks for the feedback. I am going to update the Provisioning profile step. It does need more details about downloading it and making sure it is installed into Xcode.

The idea with checklists like this one is that until you have done it quite a lot it is easy to forget a step. And having all the steps in one place is so much easier to use than trying to search for pieces on the web.
So now I'll have to pay $100 for a headphone with the quality of a $7 one while getting zero benefits and tons of incompatibility issues. That's "progress" all right.

ARToolKit: Open Source Augmented Reality SDK
While I didn't internally decode the bitstring, you are right. AFL did generate tonnes of useful tests and I did uncover a couple of bugs using it.

That said, given that I didn't spend too much time actually trying to understand AFL, could you clarify if I was right in my understanding that AFL doesn't have true coverage but rather a heuristic using a table as documented in http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/technical_details.txt . Given that the program I was fuzzing was HUGE, wouldn't it falsely alias branches?

Thank you for your input!

I worked on an open source CMS called Airship and we decided to include 2FA in our v1.0 release. After a bit of research (mostly to conclusively rule out SMS-based 2FA), I found that it was actually very easy to implement.

I started working on a vendor-agnostic 2FA implementation for PHP projects.

https://github.com/paragonie/multi_factor

It's far from complete, but hopefully it makes it easier for others to add 2FA to their projects.

I personally doubt that the UK will go for EEA membership.

The Leave campaign made it crystal clear their rationale and the most notable were not allowing EU immigration and not giving money to the EU. For the Tory government to ignore the mandate would be politically catastrophic and would result in the same problems from the right e.g UKIP that caused this whole mess to begin with.

It seems more likely that there will be a whole raft of specific agreements over the coming decades that will facilitate a more constructive EU-UK relationship.
Agreed. But they are available fresh in the grocery store in the US. I don't buy them at all. Because the 'fresh' ones available around here are beautiful perfectly-formed bitter, green-tasting junk.

Nothing in the store even resembles that.

> "Winning the leadership isn't the same as winning an election, both Labour and the Tories have a history of choosing leaders from the extremes of their party then not being able to get into power."

With that you're implying that Corbyn's views are out of sync with the general public. Which views in particular do you believe are the most extreme in this regard?

> "Labour needs to stop blaming the media for their woes and get on with making themselves acceptable to the general electorate."

Like it or not, the media plays a massive role in shaping public opinion. Whilst the current civil war in the Labour party is damaging the respectability of the Labour party, a large portion of the public will accept whatever they're told in the media as gospel. You only have to look at what happened as a result of the Brexit media campaigns to see how easily people on both sides were swayed by demagoguery, but if you want more specific examples it'd be easy enough to provide some.

The UK leaves the EU 24 months after the negotiations start, unless the parties decide on a different date. If anyone wants to play the veto game, they can, for up to 23½ months.
There's possibly one reason why carriers (and probably vendors) haven't much interest in FM radios which the article and (if I don't overlooked) no comment mention: digital dividend.

At least here in Germany carriers awaiting the moment when FM broadcast is finally declared dead and their frequencies become free for sale. The VHF band between 87.5 to 108.0 MHz is of big interest especially for rural areas.
This is exactly my thought process recently. I ran away to the Ruby/Rails land several years ago because monsters like J2EE, portlets, Tomcat/Spring/Hibernate XML configurations going amok, dependency injection frameworks making it absolutely impossible to find the origin of a complex error, etc. etc. were making me consider growing tomatoes and potatoes as a job for life.

Now however, I am regularly mad at Rails (and somewhat at Ruby; 10+ years should've been enough to adopt a proper concurrency model, or something close to OTP) and I am finding myself almost constantly working around imperfections. Sooner or later the question of "am I using the right language and/or framework?" was bound to become relevant.

The broader point is externalities are involved in the use of software by a multitude of people.

It could probably go either way, depending on the nature of your program. It depends on the correlation between "separate paths of execution" and "separate test cases". Certainly that's strong for a lot of programs, but if I sat down to construct pathological cases I probably could, and in the world of Turing chaos that programs inhabit, if pathological cases can exist, you can count on hitting them sometimes, no matter what low probability of that outcome you think you can justify.

AFL is definitely heuristic, and thus can conceivably be fooled in places where a true symbolic execution wouldn't be. On the other hand, it's very fast and easy to set up and use. Can't ever have it all. :)
