Well, theoretically, it would make it possible to abstract away writing traditional fine-grained code, just like our languages today abstracted away assembly, which in turn asbtracted away flipping mechanical switches.

That story is pretty extreme, but I (yes, an anon account on a random website) can confirm much of this is true based on some reasonable in-depth network analysis.

Take a look at the Incirlik story on twitter https://twitter.com/search?q=Incirlik and note the weird patten many have of reposting thing like emergency response accounts in between pro-Trump messages, and weird conspiracy theories (although [1]).

Do you have any examples of open source initiatives you are excited about?

I used to work in small sat. Two open source projects that were exciting to me when in the industry:

That's a good point. CloudFlare, Sucuri and friends only handle HTTP/HTTPS/DNS traffic.

If you have custom protocols, you have to get a full /24 mitigation and so far nobody can beat Arbor into it. Very expensive, but works well if you have BGP.
Well I haven't paid for it, I'm currently using lastpass. Why wouldn't I be able to use their $3 plan for 3 desktop machines? They're all my machines (work desktop, personal desktop, personal laptop) and amount of time I am using more than one at a time is minimal.
The entire thread is very interesting. It's basically two worlds of people with support for the GPL clashing into each other. The one side wants the GPL enforced no matter what at the risk of harming the project, the other appears to be happy to accept license violations for as long as some companies can be convinced to become proper contributors.

I moved to fruit/herbal teas. Strawberry & raspberry, blueberry & spiced apple and camomile & honey are my favourite. I've gotten in the habit of keeping a stock of naval oranges for the fruit teas - halve the orange, put a big slice in the mug, and quarter the rest. Nice way to increase fresh fruit intake and it makes a really nice drink.
Can't even access using good ol' archive.org and Google Cache :D
Why should a bunch of religious nuts be entitled to having their own public beach set aside for them?

If they get the prime section of beach, then everyone else is going to complain (rightfully) that the religious minority is getting special privileges.

If they get the crappy section of beach (relative to the nude and normal beaches), the religious minority is going to complain that they're being discriminated against.

You can't make a bunch of identical beaches. Beaches are not like software; you can't endlessly replicate them. Some are better than others, and they're a limited resource.

And finally, why should the country cater to religious extremists in the first place?

Isn't that all explained in the OP? It has to do with growing more receptors over time, so it takes a bigger dose of caffeine to fill them all.

One is that they deal badly with usage intermittency - one must be always charging or discharging them, you can't just store them.

That isn't really a problem in home use. You just run your power though them, and dump any excess to the grid.

The second is just, where do I buy one? Nobody seems to make them, no idea why. Maybe this one solves itself when solar gets widespread, or maybe there's some government hand in that and it won't be available when we need it.

"But this was outrageously militant hatred of the future masquerading as quaint pride."

It seems that you have a problem with other people's opinions.

It might be you that has 'the problem' and not they.

'They' have a right to view their community and nation in the terms they see fit, whereas you don't seem to even ascribe them that right, moroever, you take a moral position on the issue.

'Diversity' does not mean different skin tone. It means differing opinions, attitudes and behaviours.

The people who scream 'tolerance' out loud are rarely tolerant.

Unless there is borderline hate speech - then I suggest that conversations between individuals should remain their own - not subject to controls by the government or private corporations.
I'm seeing a more appealing deal than putting out 80 dollars up front. The amount of software that I have paid for up front, and continued to use for longer than 2 years I can count on one hand. I wouldn't be surprised if in 2 years time I had moved to another service. Given that 62 + 20 is the break even point, that's 27 months paid, plus the 6 months up front, just shy of 3 years.
I'm like that! Have always had an espresso or two per day, and anytime I have one in the afternoon I'm wide awake till 7 in the morning.

Also, even when used to high amounts of caffeine, it's really easy for me to get the jitters.

My tolerance remains low no matter what. I would stop if only I didn't LOVE the brew.
My Leaf just needs tire rotations. The garage that does my annual safety inspection sticker happily rotates the tires for me.

(I fill the washer fluid myself.)

That's one trip a year.

In contrast, my Subaru requires about 2 oil changes a year, and the garage that does the oil changes doesn't do safety inspections. Thus, my Subaru requires three trips a year.

Huge difference. Hopefully my Subaru is the last gas car I need to buy.
Automate Your Static Website Social Notifications with AWS Lambda
I do use OVH and recommend them from time to time.

The main issue is that I lost a bit of faith in their support and reliability. vracks going down for hours with no updates. Connectivity issues. Servers disappearing.

Besides that, their DDoS protection works well for l3 attacks, except that they force a TCP reset on every connection. So if you are picky about extra connect times and having your clients re-establish their connections, they are great.
It isn't even necessary here. The "propaganda" the article opens with can be rephrased as this: some people in the Swedish government wanted something controversial, and social media i.e. their citizens talking to each other reflected the usual mishmash of true, half true and not true things people often believe about more or less anything controversial.

However, because this time the controversial thing was to do with NATO, it's obviously all the Russian's fault. They have no evidence, and nobody is willing to put their name to such a claim (it's all "analysts"), but no matter, it's definitely the Russians.

Besides, whose word do we have that these beliefs were false? The defence minister!

From the WSJ we learn this: "Swedish lawmakers formally backed an agreement Wednesday that allows the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to more easily operate on Swedish territory during training or in the event of a conflict or other crisis."

http://www.wsj.com/articles/sweden-ratifies-nato-cooperation...

That doesn't sound so very different from the supposedly false claim that "NATO could attack Russia from Sweden without government approval". thelocal.se says:

"Originally signed in September 2014, the HNSA with Nato would allow the alliance to transport helicopters, aircraft and ships across Swedish territory, but only upon Sweden’s invitation.

As the agreement involves changes to Swedish law in order to give Nato personnel privileges and immunities with regards to areas like tax and custom rules, it required parliamentary ratification."

http://www.thelocal.se/20160525/sweden-votes-yes-to-controve...

It's only a tiny step from that description (NATO soldiers have immunity from some areas of law) to the one apparently circulating (NATO soldiers have immunity in some other areas). Does this really require the invocation of Russian propaganda, or the Facebook telephone game sufficient?
I'm not accusing them of being evil, or even commenting on the change to a subscription model -- I'm just calling out what to me looks like transparent dishonesty.
I'd probably use Electron and/or SWT along with javascript and kotlin.

I have two standalone accounts (wife and I) and I use the Team subscription for my, well, team. The thing is, I've chosen 1Password for my personal secrets because I don't share them with anyone, ever. I don't need them stored centrally as long as there is the Dropbox option, and I feel like it is precisely this architecture that has kept 1Password mostly out of the headlines unlike some of their competitors.
Yes. It was a joke!

It is just an experiment. If anyone finds it useful it will improved for AMD/Browser support, reducing bytes, adding more features on high demand (want to keep it simple but extensible), etc.
AWS informs us that an ELB with HTTP/HTTPS termination takes care of all problems except application level attacks. Traffic ingress is free, so it shouldn't be expensive?

For static content there is always CDN. Costly, but it works in a pinch, while you're planning you other moves.

The one thing left to worry about is dynamic content. Depending on the application you could restrict all requests to authorized users only while under attack.

This isn't a complete solution by any means, but reduced the attack surface considerably.

There's nothing true about that statement at all, in fact it's profoundly stupid, and really seems to be trying to invent a clever way of convincing people that gasoline-fueled engines are "obsolete" but using a completely nonsensical argument to do so.

Your car's infotainment system does NOT care how your car is propelled.

And the vibration argument is idiotic. The NVH caused by a modern car's engine is nothing compared to the NVH caused by rolling down a poorly-maintained asphalt street on rubber tires, especially with modern tires which use relatively high pressures to improve efficiency (both in gas cars and EVs).

Is this moron going to next try to claim that we need "digital suspensions" too? What about the analog power units in EVs? (Sorry, but motor controllers are inherently analog too. Motors don't work with 1s and 0s.)
To summarize the discussion here so far:

1- For small attacks you can optimize your stack, cache your content and use a provider that allows you to quickly scale and add more servers to handle the traffic. Do not use Linode or Digital Ocean as they will null route you.

OVH, AWS and Google are the ones to go with.

2- Use a DDoS mitigation / CDN provider that will filter the attacks and only send clean traffic back to you.

The ones recommended so far:

Part of the reason Youtube provides the youtu.be link is that their systems disambiguate between mobile and desktop websites.

Mobile versions have the 'm.' subdomain, and provide a less optimized experience for desktop.

I would also argue that the youtu.be link is a canonical form, since the identifiers are identical to the source. It is just an optimized canonical proxy.
ASP.NET Core – More Requests Served per Second
Basically, I think this article underestimates EV adoption. I think we'll be at about 100% EVs by 2030. (Just my opinion.)

Why? There are only three obstacles, but they are quickly getting eliminated.

1: Battery cost for long-range EVs is quickly dropping.

2: Charging time is also improving. We really only need to get down to about 10-15 minutes for a quick charge. That's enough time to pee, poop, and get a snack during a long road trip.

3: Charging ubiquity is also improving. For people who can't charge at home, businesses like grocery stores, malls, and restaurants provide a great opportunity to charge without making an extra trip to the gas station.
We're not close, but like I said, we're headed that way. Maybe in another 20 years, say.

The analogue components of a car can, and indeed already do, have out-of-band digital monitoring. That secondary digital supervision feeds both your dashboard, and the pin-outs repair shops connect to. It even feeds things like fuel-efficiency microcontrollers that, in their roundabout way, send commands back to the motor.

But the architecture of even current electric cars goes far beyond this: electric cars don't monitor the analogue components with digital sensors, they simply have ADCs connected right to the sensors, and take the now-digital signal from the sensor and feed it to the car's CPU, where that signal—that data, now—can produce many separate outputs.

Surprisingly (given the last 30 years of robotics), the key advantage of electric cars over petrol ones is that the petrol architecture is inherently subsumptive—digital "cognitive" actions overriding lower-level, directly-connected analogue "reflex" actions—while the electric architecture can centralize data-flow. You don't have to worry about the driver attempting to move the car with the parking brake enabled; the information of "gas pedal depressed" goes through the "brain" of the device, where it also knows that the "parking brake engaged" line is high, so its desired-torque output should just stay at zero.
The Mars Volta uses plenty of unconventional time signatures and scales and they've managed to get played on the radio and MTV, so there's at least one modern popular band that pulled it off. I wish it was more common.
I'm pretty sure that is inconsistent also (i.e. editor is not necessarily a paid position). Furthermore, in the cases I know of where the editorial work is paid, it is only a nominal amount - there is no sense in which the time involved is actually covered by the fees.
I've been watching this carefully, because the subscription model has zero benefits for me and both Chrome and Safari have started to implement basic password management solutions that already do cloud syncing. They're weak and obscure, but usable, and 1Password's benefit is that it's smarter and prettier.

However, I'm not keen on cloud sync that I don't control or that I can't audit somehow. So no AgileBits for me in the new model, ever, and if they drop the Dropbox sync option, I'll move everything to KeePass.

Shame, though, the UX and integration with other apps in iOS is pretty nifty.

But to be honest, I suspect AgileBits' market share to shrink significantly over time as browser and OS-based password managers become better.

An interesting finding this. The national power provider in South Africa (Eskom) has decided to go against the tide and focus on coal powered power stations. They have concluded that they won't be buying power from independent power providers which for the most part generate renewable energy. Maybe such researches and a more firm stance from institutions such as the IMF will help us in this regard.

I like coffee, but (rather disappointingly), it seems to have no discernible psychoactive effect on me, even though the beverage I prefer is made with nothing but coffee beans and water.
Ah, typical whataboutism. Because the Russian propaganda is so extreme in distorting the truth, everyone else must do the same. Reminds me of people who compare the political movements they don't like to ISIS, because "both are bad".
Can this be executed from phones (which can act as WiFi router, for tethering purposes) by this ubiquitous baseband RCE vulnerability I always hear about on HN?
Does Signal still require your mobile number as mandatory identifier? If privacy is what matters that is a deal breaker.

Last I looked it couldn't be used with third party clients either, and any desktop client requires tethering to an Android or IOS smartphone.

Wire looks a bit more sensible, but still works exclusively on their servers.
I'm almost tempted to try becoming an "ambassadeur téléphonique pour la France", but I would need an extra temporary number "à la google voice". I really don't trust them enough to let them have my real number, as they would probably sell it to the highest paying advertising company they can find.
That'll show me to start Googling before reading like 1/3 of the article. :)
At least on Windows, there's a new UI API every 7 years. MFC, Winforms, WPF...

Maybe "wxwidgets has a very antiquated feeling to the API" really means that platform-neutral concepts do not encapsulate well when keeping the UI truly native?

I disagree with the overweight thing.

Go to any trendy city in America now and walk around downtown. You'll see a bunch of upper-middle-class people, and none of them are fat. People now spend time doing physical fitness activities that they didn't in decades past. They also eat a lot better; there's more awareness about some foods being unhealthy. In America, we're seeing a divide between the urban culture and the rural culture, where urban (mostly white) people have good economic success mostly, and are healthier, while rural people are going the other way; hang out with rural people sometime and you'll find they generally have terrible health. They eat cheap, crappy food, and they drive everywhere, and don't spend any time exercising.

Ultimately, in the farther future, obesity will be cured by medical means. It's not really that complicated, and there's been a lot of research lately into how gut microbes affect it, and it turns out it's enormous. I predict that pretty soon we'll have gut microbe transplants being used to eliminate obesity, with people having their e.coli eliminated and replaced with versions that are engineered to keep them from getting fat, regardless of exercise. It won't be that long after that that they figure out how exercise affects the body and are able to replicate that with pharmaceuticals.

You've addressed why people should dress the way they want. You haven't addressed terrorism, anti-French attacks and rapes of white people, so you're proposing no solution.

After the Paris attacks, I don't remember Hollande being as friendly as you want to make us believe: He also perquisitionned 3200 muslims arbitrarily, and he's probably the cause of the next attack. Hollande is very good at dividing the French people, while blaming it on the others like you're doing. Maybe you drink his cool aid to fast.
IIRC it was only ever temporary, a month (or something) long experiment/campaign/whatever it was.
IIRC, OpenRC supports parallel boot. s6 and runit definitely do. And none of those are Linux specific. In fact, there have been projects to run them on BSD.

I mostly agree (100% is obviously wrong, people still buy records and renaissance clothing) but I think self driving is the biggest reason. Self driving will make ride service cheaper per mile than car ownership. That will make car ownership a luxury activity. Since electric cars will be cheaper per mile, the self driving car sharing fleets will be all electric.

Essentially, anyone who is price conscious at all will be on electric, which means 90%+ of the market.
I use a simple method to recognize Putin's propagandists:

Ask if someone is willing to condemn Putin for doing similar invasions as Hitler did in the 1930s.

If the only answers you get to that question are personal attacks and attacks on USA, the person writing is probably working in St Petersburg and paid to write things on the internet.

Edit: 1. I am not American "pabloski", at least get the unserious personal attacks correct. 2. USA generally don't annex territory, unlike Hitler and Putin.

Edit 2: I would ask "pabloski" if he was willing to condemn modern invasions and theft of area in Europe, but it isn't really needed, after he behaved just like I described and he even gave an rt-link.
There are two really compelling arguments for Sci-Hub, regardless of the arguments against. Firstly, the usability is far, far better than almost all publishing industry offerings. Secondly, there has never been a realistic general pricing model for individual (or small companies, which amounts to the same thing) use of individual papers. There are some orgs (e.g. IEEE) which make this reasonable for an individual who primarily need access to core journals they produce, but even that is unrealistic for individuals with broader needs.

The problem is that the industry was built around, and remains focused on, broad access licensing to large scale organizations (universities, government agencies, large corporations). There is no concept of "retail" access. That is a different business than they are in, and mostly they don't show any real interest in learning it.
According to Wikipedia, 5 people died building the Empire State Building. Workers dying on the job wasn't uncommon back in those days, and considering the size of the project, that's actually probably pretty good for that day and age. According to another poster here, the Freedom Tower had a whole bunch of safety incidents too and serious injuries.

Obviously, safety has gotten better over the years, but it's not like people were falling off the ESB left and right during construction.

Also, we have the benefits of modern technologies now: safety technologies, cranes, etc. It should be both faster and safer to build something that size, just like we can build cars now that are better than Model Ts in every single way. But it isn't.

It's not about pensions, and it certainly isn't about healthcare (we don't have nationalized healthcare in the US, we have a complete fucking mess). The problem is politics and bureaucracy. We just can't get stuff done like we used to.
