The article talks about all these sophisticated attacks that could hurt the financial system but I think they're not seeing the elephant in the room: What if someone just ran "rm -rf /" on thousands of servers at just one of the "too big to fail" banks?

How long would it take to recover from that? Would it even be recoverable?

I don't think any of the big banks employ enough IT people to recover tens of thousands of servers in time to save the world's economies from a major collapse. Recovering from such a situation would take months. Not only that but let's assume they hire temporary contractors to do the work... Can you even vet that many people that quickly? You'll be handing these folks some of the world's most sensitive information.

The Fed needs "IT stress testing" in addition to their balance sheet stress tests. They need to ask these sorts of questions: "If half your servers were deleted how long would it take to recover from backups?" "Demonstrate a backup recovery on the following ten randomly-selected servers right now. You have 8 hours. Good luck!"

So that's what all that Windows RT stuff was about. I'm a bit ashamed I didn't realize Windows (proper) doesn't run on ARM. I'm assuming MS really wants to be able to run Windows on different types of processors but can't practically make that happen and keep backwards compatibility. It sounds like they've shot themselves in the foot. Unfortunately, they were stepping on all our heads at the same time.

RISC-V might have this edge if a manufacturer picks it up. Maybe the SiFive folks are listening.

I'd definitely be interested in running a system like that, if it had PCIe ports to run a supported GPU, perhaps a fancy NIC or a RAID card.

If they would make a PC-format RISC-V board with standard attachments, I would buy several in an instant. Though I know it's not free to license all of those bits, this being a major expense on x86 boards.
What they don't realize is that they it takes longer to find the perfect candidate than to train a good enough candidate. It might take a month or so to train someone on whatever web framework if they have similar experience. Yet the position could stay unfilled for six months or more waiting for that perfect candidate.

So is that perhaps the reason why there has been little adoption or investment from OEMs into producing standardized boards?

A bunch - it's using the relatively ancient X-gene 1 chip, it doesn't come with SBSA/SBBR out of the box (although it is installable), it's expensive.

There are some good things though: The IPMI support is excellent, it takes 128GB of RAM, and it's a solid workhorse. Here is mine: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2016/03/04/gigabyte-mp30-ar0/

I'm waiting for the new Cavium-based Gigabyte boards, which have 48 up to 384 (sic) cores.

For what is worth, I have currently 755 buffers open on my emacs session. That's probably on the low side as I restarted my session recently (i.e. in the last 7 days). I usually have 8 buffers showing (vertical + horizontal split across two windows) at any one time. I don't even known how a tabbed interface would look like in this setup.

I use ido-switch-buffer instead of helm for quick switching. Should I switch to helm?
There are lots of people who really want to be lied to.

I've worked with a fair number. They refused to deal with people except those that told unreasonable lies.

The results were never good. But they were satisfied with the results because "it's not my fault. That person lied to me."
Off-Topic: What's the shell/config you're using in the README gif ? It looks damn cool.
They are definitely available in the EU. I got one from xcase.co.uk. Note there is a slightly newer variant now (MP30-AR1), although it still uses the X-gene 1.

If I were you I'd wait a bit for the Cavium-based Gigabyte boards. I have pricing for these which unfortunately I'm not permitted to reveal, but it will be very competitive.

The Caviums have lots of cores (48 / socket), but each core is pretty slow, like an Intel Atom. Caviums have tons of fast I/O. The challenge is to make software which can deal with this, since it's quite unlike Intel hardware (few, fast cores, slow I/O).
It is a (possible THE) major journal in science but call me skeptical. I tell you three things about the Chinese:

1. They have had a highly developed culture since at least 5000 years (but please don't tell them that their bone carvings can't compete with what the Egyptians had)

2. Their culture developed totally independent and without exchange with other cultures and civilizations in the West. (Don't mention for example the Tarim mummies, this is insulting for Chinese: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarim_mummies )

3. Chinese always hated and rejected the idea that they developed from African/black ancestors. So this is really a question that is asked in China with a very strong bias.

That's actually something that varies by state. Some states are more permissive than others when it comes to being in places where you don't have an affirmative legal right to be present, as might be indicated by a lease or ownership document.

At one extreme, you have Scandinavian-style allmansratten, wherein the right to wander is firmly entrenched in the culture, and trespassing requires an obvious, posted, and defended boundary. If your door has no lock, that is an implicit invitation for any wanderers to enter, also under the implicit condition that they comport themselves appropriately as your guests, even if you are not actually there.

At the other extreme, you have military bases, where you must show identification and your invitation at fixed points of entry, and you might get shot without warning if you are in an area that you have not been specifically authorized to be in.

So there are actually states in the U.S. where you can enter an unlocked home during daylight hours, sit on the couch and read a magazine, make awkward small talk, then leave before sundown, and no crime has occurred. And then there are other states where the homeowner or leaseholder could shoot you as you did that, without saying a word, and not commit a crime.

But I know of no jurisdiction where a trespass warning, where the visitor is specifically told to leave and not return, does not trump all of that. If you have been ejected from someone's property, and return to it at a later date, you are trespassing, period. It does not matter if you have disguised yourself such that you are not recognizable to anyone else as the same person; you still are that person, and that person is not allowed to be there.

I never understood why recursion causes anyone any problems, because recursion is the absence of a special case limitation.

If I tell you that a function may call any function, then you already know everything you need to know for recursion. If we didn't have recursion, only then would I need to qualify what I just told you with the restriction that a function can only be active once.

When I show students recursion I can't understand their confusion. I think to myself 'but I already showed you functions can call any other function, why do you see this case differently?'

(Obviously I try to be more patient, understanding and anticipatory in person.)
There are multiple helm-like plugins for vim, which can be used to change buffers. Tabs, on the other hand, are used so that you can, for example, have a tab with a vertical split and buffers A and B, and another tab with just one big buffer, and so on.
It could work well if tabs contained frames instead of buffers, i.e. as a sort of workspace management. I guess this could be done right now by using a tabbed window manager.

I'd love a system that fits the form factor of my desktop motherboard but supports an arm chipset.

My main system mother board is a little... strange from the normal. I've build my system around being 100% silent and low power while still having enough juice to run some IDEs and be productive.

My current mobo is from ASRock and has an interesting feature [0]. It's got support to use a laptop charger as a PSU built into the board.

If there was a low power, passive, ARM system for a desktop like this I'd switch. This is just the lowest power and quietest build I could think of currently. (Only problem is no MSATA :()

> What the hell is wrong with this industry that experience in the industry is considered a negative? For every other skill the more you do it the better you get, yet the logic here is that the more one works with tech the worse one gets at it.

I can believe that experience of doing (say) chemistry 200 years ago might be so different from current practice that it would be of negative value. Tech changes a lot faster than that. Certainly in practice I've found working with experienced people worse than working with fresh grads, because fresh grads tend to be empiricists, whereas experienced people tend to have fixed technical views that are often outdated. (Of course this is just my subjective experience).

> The only comparable jobs are high impact sports. An older boxer or football player is assumed to have accumulated injuries that make them a worse value proposition. Are devs the same? Am I slowly accumulating the equivalent of career ending sports injuries the longer I am stuck in a job living like a Dilbert comic?

Older mathematicians are famously less effective. I honestly feel like I'm less good at my job than when I started. Certainly experience with outdated tools/paradigms seems like a net negative - it will mislead you when working with modern tools/paradigms.

It's a tendency of capitalism to ignore externalities such as highlighted whenever possible. If we're to have a long term future we need the system to include such costs rather better.

> At the time, estimates of the age of the Earth itself ranged from a few tens of thousands of years to perhaps a few tens of millions. So one million years was a substantial fraction of all eternity.

James Hutton had been investigating the geology of Scotland and forming much of the basis for modern geologic timescales in the mid and late 18th C. By the mid 19th, most of the geological periods, we still use today, had been produced. Of course many geologists of the time had a tendency to believe in unlimited age!

Were it not for Lord Kelvin being so famously wrong we may have got decent estimates quicker. Even Kelvin was in the 30-400m years range.

http://www.es.ucsc.edu/~pkoch/EART_206/09-0108/Supplemental/... (pdf)

So they were mainly arguing about tens and hundreds of millions by mid 19th century I believe.

It took 50 more years until 1913 when Arthur Holmes took estimates from hundred millions to billions.

This. I hate my job but tell me some other way I can make $300k (I'm basically doing management consulting). I'm 38 with 3 kids and my wife doesn't earn an income (she homeschools the kids). I suck it up so they're well provided for.
My slightly different take on this:

At the beginning of your career, I think the most important thing is to learn. Any company where you're learning a lot is a good place to be.

But I think you need to be able to learn to like what you're doing, even if it doesn't sound like your cup of tea. Get out of your confort zone. Go into a company that does something that's not just IT (that is, not a company that sells stuff for programmers). Human Resources, healthcare, geology, law, finance, advertising, any other domain other than IT. If I were re-doing my career, I'd try to get into any good situation with not only interesting tech, but interesting non-tech problems to solve.

Getting domain expertise outside of tech + strong tech fundamentals is huge, and a great way to build a really good company later on if that's your cup of tea, or be a great consultant or team member.

That way, you get both an interesting job, and very likely, very good financial rewards if you're good at what you're doing.

The worst mistake I've made was getting sucked into a dead-end path and staying because of the money. If I had gotten out early, I would have taken a financial hit early on, but would have continued an upward trajectory instead of plateauing (and working on stuff with non-marketable skills).

I'd really like to know just what kind of timeframe he was thinking of when he said "many years" and "a very long time" there. Because that was 1945, and the first ICBM didn't become operational until 1959. With a 14-year interval, I'd be comfortable in saying he was right. Especially since those early ICBMs were so inaccurate that they would have been completely pointless if armed with 1945-era bombs. It took the development of multi-megaton thermonuclear weapons for those early ICBMs to be useful weapons.

Those early ICBMs were also delicate and required a lot of preparation to launch, making them highly vulnerable to attack, and of course they would be prime targets in a war. Bombers could be kept ready to take off in just a few minutes from receiving an alarm, and some could be kept on airborne alert at all times, making part of the force effectively invulnerable to attack. The modern idea of an ICBM, able to launch on warning from hardened silos capable of withstanding a close hit from an enemy weapon, took many more years to come about.
At my employer, "cultural fit" refers to our culture of honesty and transparency.

Basically, if you're the kind of people who will deceive customers, throw your coworkers under the bus, etc., we don't want you here.

Despite the catchy headline, I think more interesting is their 8th graph showing searches for 'gun control' being a lot more frequent in per-capita higher gun ownership states like Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana, and their 10th graph showing searches for 'Brexit' being much, much more prevalent in states that have a large number of jobs in finance like New York, Connecticut, and Illinois. Those graphs actually offer meaningful insight.

>most places that pay you will be dysfunctional work places

This article is aimed at managers. It is advice on how to create a functioning work place. To the extent it fails to do so, it is entirely appropriate to say "Hey, this is bad advice for reason X."

It is not interesting to rebut this by saying "Yeah, but reason X isn't valid if the manager is terrible." The whole point is that the manager shouldn't be terrible. This isn't advice for non managers and it isn't advice for managers who aren't trying to be good managers. Managers who don't care about creating a functioning work environment aren't reading and discussing this anyway.
Yes, sort of. The other problem, shared with 32 bit ARM, is that there are billions of shitty Android chips made each year, and it's very easy to take one of these, slap it into a development board, add a proprietary kernel with random blobs, and sell it for $50.

These crowd out properly designed server hardware, or anything that cares about freedom, upstream Linux, maintainability, virtualization, etc.
It's difficult because GCC is pretty buggy, which makes it hard to follow recent stable releases. In addition, OpenBSD has a lot of exploit mitigations in their branch of the compiler which will take considerable effort to port to LLVM.
I mostly agree with you; however, SSA seems like overkill up until the point where your code becomes a tangled cyclomatic mess because of the lack of it (example[1]). I'd definitely include SSA in a modern course on compilers.

The dirty little secret is that nobody actually needs any specific experience to do the job. You just need a decent brain and an Internet connection, and just enough people skills to fake it until you make it.

Very true, and this is why these keyword searches are so absurd. It wouldn't be difficult to setup the entire hiring process (applications as well as interviews) around that dirty little secret.
Exactly. The cost of them making a premium option would pale in comparison to the loss of reputation they would gain for admitting they need one.
