I wouldn't dream of suggesting that access to data that you knowingly stored some place with questionable data persistence guarantees is as fundamental as access to water. You may disagree.

Personally I would like to see society move in this direction. The data persistence guarantees should not be questionable, they should be legally enforced. I'm pretty sure we could come up with some terms that aren't realistically that onerous to Google (and other providers), but give users some assurances.

We're treading new ground with the concept of digital goods that are extremely cheap to manufacture, distribute, and store, and this idea that ubiquitously useful services can be provided to everyone for free by extracting value from the data generated by their usage. In the pre-digital era, the government "ordering Google to supply a service at no charge" would probably be an untenable precedent, but today that could happen with almost negligible impact to their business, because it already operates like that.

You and I both probably agree that the cloud is a significantly easier approach to organizing, storing, and using data than traditional approaches.

This is exactly why we should recognize it as a public utility and endeavor to reduce the inherent dangers, just like we go to great effort to make clean water available instead of teaching everyone how to test and treat it themselves.

I spent 40 years as a non meat eater, and great vegetarian food is consistently cheaper than mediocre food with meat in it. I had a lot of girlfriends before I got married, and they were always bemused because I tended to buy non-meat appetizers that tasted great, in place of an entree. I also love the non-meat goodies that come with the entrees in steakhouses. I have often ordered an entree without the steak, and the prices are bewilderingly low for very good food.
Sure, but plenty of people are also uploading other people's CC-licensed works to YouTube, in which case a genuine legal conflict has been created.

If WinDbg were so much better than gdb, someone at Google would have replicated it for Linux.

I'm fine with gdb and conditional breakpoints is usually the most advanced feature I need. Only once I used bigger guns. Detecting the error meant run into conditional breakpoint A, then enable and run into conditional breakpoint B (which would have triggered a lot before A), and then inspect a variable. The problem: The error only occured sometimes. Thus automate this via Python, so gdb could auto-reexecute everything until it found the failure case again.

What I still miss is multi-process debugging. Gdb can only attach to a single process, so you need multiple gdbs to watch multiple processes and this introduces race conditions.
The technical term is "scrip", I believe.

The PS is something people forget all the time. It's a learned skill to make interviewees feel like this isn't an adversarial meeting, but a mutual interviewing.

That said, you're right. Just this week I interviewed someone with almost 30 years experience, some of it dev, architect, some management, for a pure developer role, and gave him "Write a function(n) that takes an integer and gives you the nth number in the Fibonacci sequence." Got very angry and said he didn't know the algorithm, so I drew it on the board and explained it (red flag for someone who was a former "scrum master" not knowing what the Fibonacci sequence was), and he told me that it was arbitrary and academic and a waste of time. I asked him to do it anyway since it was to see his style and approach, and he got mad and left. Most junior devs solve this problem in ten-fifteen minutes, and I consider it actually more of an interactive ice breaker to get us both standing and talking rather than a stumper.

"Modern Turkey was founded by Mustafa Kemal, a general in the Turkish Army who was later formally granted the surname “Ataturk,” or father of the Turks. Ataturk set about an aggressive program of modernizing and “Westernizing” the country, pushing religion to the margins, banning certain apparel like headscarves and fezes, and converting Turkish from Arabic to Latin script. But that secularism has always remained tenuous. Many Turks, especially rural ones, are religious, and not all of the reforms have remained popular.

The military has long seen its role as safeguarding Ataturk’s secularist agenda, and when it worries the government is shifting too far away, it has tended to take action.

Turkey has thus occupied a strange position in world politics: Although it is prone to coups d’etat, Western governments have often cheered the coups on, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, because they are in the service of a secular agenda. Periodic deposition of democratically leaders has, somewhat paradoxically, been treated as a small price to pay for ensuring liberalism."

That's actually a very interesting system of government. A democratic arm that rules the country day-to-day, and a "benevolent dictatorship" that will overthrow the democratic arm if it violates the country's "fundamental principles". Such a model would arguably have served Iraq better than the pure democracy that was attempted and failed.
That's actually quite crafty. Instead of government assistance being dispersed directly where it can be sent abroad and siphoned off through services like Western Union it's pumped directly into the local economy.

This probably can't scale. Once enough money is involved organized crime will find a way to siphon that money out of the community. For example, WIC debit cards can be exchanged 50 cents on the dollar for cash.

In many of these sessions you are unequivocally dinged for having a less-than-perfect answer by the time the bell rints. Or if there is some fuzzy acceptance standard in the back of their minds somewhere -- they certainly won't condescend to tell you what it is.

Instead, what you usually get is: "Uhh, hi. Here's a Google Doc. Can you type a fully working implementation X for me while I boredly watch? BTW I don't normally program in the language you're programming in and so probably shouldn't be doing this session with you anyway, as that will only work against you. But then again, it's not like I care -- I'm just doing this because they told me to."

Larger address spaces are useful, even if you don't have 2^64 bytes of physical RAM. For example, most 32-bit Firefox crashes are OOM crashes due to virtual address space exhaustion.

This article makes some good points on managing expectations and being realistic with objectives. However, I would never recommend abandoning something you believe in even if others tell you it wont work. At the very least, you will learn something and at the very most, you might show the world something it never knew it wanted until now.
Yea i'd fully expect something like PAE to be more useful and common. Even if something is using more than 16EB of ram, i can't imagine it'll be a single process and instead it'll be larger distributed system instead, leaving each process smaller than that. Just filling up 16 EB of ram right now would take:

< simcop2387> farnsworth: eta[16 EiB, 19200 MiB/s] - #now# -> "years"
< farnsworth> simcop2387: 2177.63532452879 years

based on marketing info on DDR4. So at the very least it's going to take a while before we even have to worry about a max of 16EiB in address space.

My hypothesis is that the average English speaking tech worker is both more secular than their nation's population and more secular than their nation's military, making it more difficult to think of militaries as secular organizations. I know I tend to think of the U.S. military as full of religious conservatives, but that probably says more about how secular I am than about how religious the military is.

He sort of said that, sure.

"Ayyadurai says his case has no financial connection to Thiel. 'To be absolutely clear,' Ayyadurai said, 'my relationship with [Harder] is direct. There is no third party involved.'"

And:

"'To the best of my knowledge, I’m not seeing any money in my account coming from Peter Thiel,' he says."

This is, however, inconclusive. Forbes reported that Harder didn't know Thiel was behind the Hogan lawsuit until May. I believe that Ayyadurai isn't seeing any money from Thiel, but that's not the same thing as Harder not seeing money from Thiel. And "to the best of my knowledge" leaves plenty of wiggle room for Harder to be the cut-out man.

But, you know, maybe it's just a coincidence and only one of Harder's many cases against Gawker is backed by Thiel. Can I say for sure? Absolutely not!

I do, however, think it's a bit more likely than, say, "My two cents are that it is extremely likely Gawker was/is working for a covert political organization." I mean, if you're gonna demand that I provide cites (which is fair) you probably ought to steer away from that kind of random accusation.

Getting ripped with BowFlex’s ‘smart dumbbells’
Fethullah Gulen is a Turkish Islamic religious leader in exile in the Poconos, founder of a movement called Hizmat, an Islamic offshoot, also known as Gulen.

Gulen's followers represent a large portion of Turkey's police and attorneys, at least before the latest moves of President Erdogan.

Current Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan used the Gulen movement as allies to gain power, as they both shared the goal of abolishing the existing secular character of the state.

However, once in power, Erdogan turned on Gulen, attempted to purge his followers from the police and judiciary, then used the movement as a "fifth-column" type scapegoat.

Recently, Erdogan has moved to consolidate power, taking steps that would allow him to cow the legislative and judicial branches. It appears he was trying to install himself as "President for Life."

It's very important to note that secularism in Turkey was born at the point of a bayonet. In contrast to many regional Islamic governments, Turkey's government is both secular and democratic, due to the founding father of Turkey, Kemal Ataturk. While Ataturk was a brutal dictator, he also used that power to rebuild a Turkish national identity, secularize the government, and eventually transition to democracy.

Turkey's secular and Westernized form of government facilitated its membership within NATO. NATO, an organization designed to contain Soviet influence, has been very uneasy with Erdogan heading a state that can invoke Article 5 of the collective defense pact. In particular, his recent moves of downing a Russian fighter, have made tensions rise.

While events are in flux, and precise reasons for the coup are unclear, Erdogan did announce yesterday that he was realigning himself with the government of Assad in Syria, a Russian ally, which could be seen as anti-NATO. However Turkish institutions and governance are so severely degraded that domestic reasons could be purely to blame.

and

5. C)You agree not to circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Service or features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any Content or enforce limitations on use of the Service or the Content therein.
Anyone have a take on how successful this is likely to be?

Both sides are claiming victory and that they've beaten the other side, naturally. Propaganda is everywhere.

The only thing I figure is that since Erdogan is calling for a mass uprising in the streets, the status quo has him losing. He needs to radically change the dynamics of the situation to stay in power, and mass protests and displays of martyrdom in the streets of Istanbul is the way to do it. Otherwise, if everything were under his control, he'd be encouraging people to stay inside while his forces stabilized the situation.

Is that a fair read of the situation?
I would probably wait for the resolution. In most cases, military coups are fast. Most news sources don't expect it to extend beyond the weekend.

Stay safe.
People have to earn money to survive. If you don't earn money you will starve, unless other people spend their money to save you. People make the most money doing what they are best at, so it's natural that hackers would put their skill to work for their income.

While I understand the criticism that his character's role doesn't map to the original character's role... is it possible that this is an example of what it means to "punch up"? What does it mean that there is so much hand-wringing about Chris's character and yet when a female plays that role in basically every other movie that comes out... much less is vocalized by the folks upset at Ghostbusters?

I dunno, it still seems like a weird thing to spend this much time trying to form a strong opinion on (I say ironically as I keep thinking about it). I wish studios would leave classics alone but that ship has long since sailed. If they had to reboot it, I think the gender reversal is kind of novel.
