Very interesting bug. People forget some times how expensive a regex can be compared to simple pattern matching.

Regarding countersteering & bicycles (and motorcycles), I better understood the phenomenon by picturing a bar shoved horizontally through a basketball.

You can steer by either turning the basketball (horizontal plane) or leaning the basketball (vertical plane). In the case of a motorcycle at speed, the bike's effective turning radius is affected more by the lean than by how much the handle-bars are turned. The handle-bars are more about controlling the amount lean.

> clearly the deciding factor why that person got the talk was because she was a woman

Wow, what a coincidence! Every time I'm disappointed by a talk at a conference, I just know intuitively exactly why that person was chosen to present. Until now, I thought I was the only person with that super power.

I'm sorry for being obnoxious, but it's worth thinking about why it's so easy to reach this kind of conclusion. Maybe it's a bias that's so pervasive in our culture that we don't even realize it's there.
Its only slaving away if you don't enjoy it. I personally love being on a computer because usually it means I'm learning something. Whether it be by reading an interesting article or practicing my craft, none of it is mindless work.

I think that's the key. To work with a purpose and objective. If I had to surf Facebook 9 hours a day it would certainly not be fun and I too would very much feel like I am slaving my life away.

SP4 user here too, Windows Hello failed exactly once for me: when I was setting it up. Ever since then it's worked flawlessly. It's so insanely good it's almost hard to believe Microsoft built it.

When Android first came up with face recognition it was a gimmick; half of the time it didn't work, it took too long, you needed the right amount of light, etc etc. But I can confidently say that Microsoft's implementation is nothing like it, they've actually made it work.
> Their VCRs are made in China and sold in many territories, including North America, under brand names like Sanyo..

The title is misleading as it seems they are ceasing their production in China (likely already ceased in Japan).

Further, with 750,000 units sold worldwide by them, there is enough of a market for China to continue manufacturing (a quick search also shows some on Alibaba making VCR/DVD combo players).
> Internet Explorer uses it to save whether a file was downloaded via IE.

Wait, but why? Chromium (at least on Linux) uses extended attributes too, but to record the origin and referrer of downloaded files (which can be really useful, once you know about it).

Summoning the spirit (and more importantly the expertise) of brendangregg here.

From the home page sysdig "capture[s] system state and activity", but by leveraging specifically what?

From https://sysdig.com/blog/sysdig-vs-dtrace-vs-strace-a-technic...:

"First, events are captured in the kernel by a small driver, called sysdig-probe, which leverages a kernel facility called tracepoints."

That makes it sound like it's quite similar to the ftrace kernel tracer by instrumenting the various event tracepoints (/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/available_events) conveniently strewn throughout the kernel source--is this indeed the case?

Alternatively, is sysdig doing something differently? {k,u}probes? Sampling similar to, perhaps say, perf's capabilities?

The Linux tracing/profiling landscape is murky enough (littered with tools like SystemTap, LTTng, and so forth) and I'd like to know where this tool fits into an analysis work-flow--and more importantly, what's it's using (at a low-level) to gather data.

I'd appreciate any and all clarification.

Cheers.
Obviously don't use it if you care about privacy. Same reason you shouldn't use gmail, facebook, twitter, etc. I hear the folks over at https://whispersystems.org/ are working to fill in the gaps. But even the peer-to-peer version did not protect privacy so nothing lost, nothing gained here as I see it.
Also, add too many xattrs and you can no longer get a list of them:

As noted in xattr(7), the VFS imposes a limit of 64 kB on the size of
the extended attribute name list returned by listxattr(7). If the
total size of attribute names attached to a file exceeds this limit,
it is no longer possible to retrieve the list of attribute names.

In my opinion: GCP for Kubernetes, AWS for everything else.

It's probably due to years of AWS usage, but I find it hard to think about resources and patterns on any other cloud provider due to habit. They all do things in slightly different ways to make it infuriating.
I really like NTFS as a file system... seems to offer a lot more than many other file systems, and pretty interestingly so for as old as it is now. That said, hopefully broader adoption can happen when the patents expire (ugh, in 7 years). Maybe the "new" MS could be convinced to create a royalty-free spec release/promise.

Would love for NTFS to become default for external storage, I already use it, but getting it on macOS and Linux isn't always as straight forward as it could be. NTFS-3G ftw.

While I understand where you come from, this is the kind of advice I would give a friend or family if they came to me and said “hey, I am having a hard time in the industry and I think it’s because I am a minority”. Do your best, try to grow a thick skin, etc.

However, I believe you can’t possibly extend that (positive and helpful) feeling to an outside “political” statement. If our aim is to make the industry welcoming and accepting to everyone, I believe we should do more than what you describe and try to figure out a way to make it right.

It might not help minorities in tech right now, but it will eventually.
Maybe he really would if it were just 3-4 persons to negotiate with and 3-4 wallets to pay to.
If I'm not mistaken Windows Hello will only do facial recognition on a depth-sensing camera, so you would need to create a 3D model of my face to fool it.
> Isn't gitlab highly concerned with a new company starting a similar product in a more efficient language implementation and eating your lunch?

I'm nobody but my two cents is that this falls under the category of things we shouldn't worry about because there isn't much we can do about it. I am sure Gitlab is concerned but I would say it doesn't matter because this is a problem you can probably throw hardware at (repo A going down will likely not affect most repo B users). I imagine of course gitlab.com would want to make the most of the hardware it has and I'd love to read about the cost of porting gitlab to a "more efficient" language implementation but I hope they're more concerned about delivering value to users than worrying about how to fend off competition.

This might be unpopular here but I hope Gitlab does all it can to keep their cost low even if it means slightly lower salaries.

That's literally a "you're not popular enough for us to care about harassment" situation.

Whedon's "Dollhouse" series was a pretty good take on this topic. The show opened with the premise that brains could be saved, generated, and overwritten digitally. The focus of the show was on a company that hired people to upload their consciousnesses to a drive, and then exist as "dolls" that had their minds written over with both synthesized and real consciousnesses and rented out to clients by the hour, as whoever the clients wanted them to be. Did a good job of exploring the broader implications of the tech from a relatively narrow application of it. Impressive acting from the main cast as well, each of the "dolls" had to demonstrate a huge range.
Unfortunately, the people of Turkey were going to be screwed no matter how the coup went. If it had succeeded, they would have got a military dictatorship. Now they get a different kind of dictatorship instead. Erdogan was slowly evolving into a dictator before the coup, and now he's accelerating that process.

I wonder if the best outcome for democracy in Turkey would have been a attempted coup which resulted in Erdogan's death before it failed. I don't know of any Turkish politicians who would have been able to build a dictatorship as successfully as Erdogan.
But see, if I didn't own a home, I still would have to live somewhere. So I'd rent. So then I pay the owner's interest and taxes, and more besides.

So if you run the numbers of what I pay to own vs. what I pay to rent (because homeless is not a desirable option), then I think you'll find that housing appreciation helps the owner (if after many years the owner sells and then moves into something smaller, or else sells and then rents).

The Atari game collection was at best 3 orders of magnitude smaller (3000 times smaller to be precise).

The iTunes App Store is reported to have 1.5 million apps, whereas the Atari 2600 game collection listing contains around 565 games (and the Atari ST, if we're talking about that 505).

So, yeah, from a pure quantity perspective I'd expect quite a lot more opportunities to fall upon shovel-ware among 1.500.000 million titles than among 500.

And even if both had the same ratio of good apps, e.g. 0.5% this still leaves 7500 good apps on the App Store (more than I'd ever need or could even have time to use), and about 3 good apps on the Atari collection.

It's about a nation's interests. We shouldn't pretend that, if those interests are better served by closing down the sea for commerce and waging war, the navy would do anything else. The navy is a tool of power and suppression of its enemies.

They aren't confidential, at least not more than your full name. It's a common myth, probably stemming from the fact that there's plenty of laws about how to treat information that can be used to identify people. But those laws pretty much also applies if you just a have list of peoples full name.

Edit: Reading through the law, they are more confidential than your full name, though not by much. Generally you can't publish them publicly. And usage within companies and the state are regulated, but fairly permissive. Datatilsynet has explicitly said that they shouldn't be used to identity that a person is who they say they are, and only should be used as a primary key to differentiate people.

That's good for the _free software community_, as most of the VCR's ship with proprietary, closed source software. Notice how I didn't say open source software.

The Turkish military has a long history of executing a coup and then returning control to a new civilian government. While military coups often lead to military dictatorships, that has not been the case in Turkey, and it is in fact one of the established roles of the Turkish military to do so.

Windows Hello only works with newer cameras that support depth/3d sensing. Only a handful of laptops and a couple external cameras have this functionality. Windows Hello doesn't work with standard cameras as it would be easier to bypass.
As an American, I wish we would stop doing this. It isn't effective, and it's a waste of time/resources that could be better spent elsewhere.

I'd even argue that its counter-effective to progress. Instead of punishing people for making more efficient systems, we should reward them, and try to integrate.
I do. I think the answer is "never", or "not as a result of this government". When there are internal issues present, military is fragmented and may not act when needed, etc. - that's the time when NATO should be most useful and most needed. Otherwise you get a country which cannot really defend itself and announce to the world - yeah, we don't really care about them anyway.

Speculation - would Ukraine get attacked last year if it was a full NATO member?

NATO needs Turkey more than Turkey needs NATO. The country sits literally between Russia and the Middle-East, conveniently also managing Black Sea Fleet access to any other scenario.

I wouldn't bet on Turkey ever leaving or being kicked out.

Not an accident- selectivity bias. Ask those hackers to build an app for the USPS, FDA, the DOE or any other agency that imposes strict regulations and has to implement business logic to account for tens of thousands of rules (not an exaggeration) and see how agile and innovative they are. There's a reason that most of these contracts are worth between 7 and 8 figures. That's the kind of manpower required to engineer them.
For example:

Since all people aren't created equal, we shouldn't strive for equality, since some people are clearly better than others, so let's embrace that.

Since we aren't all physically or mentally equal, and some people are clearly "better" with respect to some aspect X that we/I/some group I'm part of has classified as important, those people are more worthy than others.

Etc.

There are arguments that can be logically made for a society based on those, but not if you want a society like we enjoy and promote in western civilization (not no imply a specific difference in other cultures, I'm just not qualified to comment on them). I think the world is a better place in many, many ways because we've promoted values of inclusion, equality, happiness and life. I'm happy to discuss alternate societies with different values and how what that might be like as a thought experiment (some of the best science fiction is in thus vein), but I'm not really interested in that when discussing problems our society currently faces. We should be able to agree on those core values I mentioned earlier, and taking time in each discussion to reassert and prove that those are important to everyone involved just detracts from useful conversation.

In other words, it's entirely possible that in some instances negative steroetyping based on race, sex, nationality or any number of other attributes is actually somewhat accurate, but we've decided as culture that the downsides are fairly bad, so for the most part we shouldn't do that. I agree with this.
There's also a sort of "common sense" explanation relying on really basic physics:

Let's say you want to turn left. We know from experience that you will be leaning left when you turn: meaning, your weight is going to be on the left hand side of your wheels. (The common-sense explanation works really well because I'm not going to explain why you need to lean left to steer left, I'm just going to take it as a given.)

The basic-physics question is: if you're starting totally vertical, how the heck do you get your body mass to be on the left hand side of the wheels in the first place?

You can get a little bit of effect, of course, by simply leaning over left: but that leans the bicycle to the right because you can only lean over one way by pushing your bicycle the other way... and when you do this the bicycle briefly opposes you in the way it's leaning before your gravity can win out. That's less good.

So what your brain has actually learned to reflexively do is, to send your wheels going off to the right while your body continues in a straight line, hence your mass is now over the left-hand side of your bicycle and there is no competition. You then steer into the turn and complete it normally.
