Oops, yeah I recalled that the subsystem that caused the problem didn't need to run after launch, so I was thinking it fed incorrect data to the auto-destruct system, not that it actually went off course.
I can recommend an offline install of Debian using the DVD1, DVD2 and DVD3 binary iso images. No need for an Internet connection.

Depending on the software you wish to install, you will be swapping between the DVDs a few times (e.g. texlive/gnuplot/r-base).

So far as I am aware, Debian is the only distribution that provides a fair chunk of the packages available in the (main) repository for effectively offline installation.

Hey, why are you letting this bother you so much? Don't let what bothers other people bother you, I don't think it's healthy to want so much control over other people's emotions, and surely you'd have less to think about it you stopped letting it bother you so much?

There are still apps in the store I made years ago for a company that no longer exists. They still kinda work, but not very well since the company's servers went offline.

It seems like these things might resolve themselves in a lot of cases if Apple charged something small like a $1 every year to keep an app in the store.

Are people maybe confusing this guy with Guccifer 2.0? What crimes was he exposing when he posted George W's paintings online? My understanding was that the private email server was only revealed incidentally to the material he released, when a reporter noticed a questionable email address.

Even accounting for the importance of transparency, it seems weird for the GP to assert this guy didn't deserve "even four months" when a large number of the times he accessed accounts were with no noble intent but with clear maliciousness
It can do more than just string equality too (the first operand can be treated as a character sequence, a character set, a substring needle or a union of character ranges)

Though for all that it's still limited to simplistic comparisons of non-textual strings.

This reminds me of a (not so interesting) story.

In about 1997 I was really into hanging out in yahoo chat rooms and making websites. I was 11. I asked for a book on computer programming. I wanted to do something more than hack away at the perl scripts that ran my guest book. Neither my father or I really knew what I was asking. I received a nice book on PowerPC programming [0]. If I recall it read like assembly.

I still have the book on my bookshelf at home. I may have gotten 10% way through that book. It was quickly replaced with Sam's teach yourself perl in 24 hours.

No, iPhone jailbreaks usually just exploit bugs in WebKit to obtain code execution in the context of the Safari process. There generally aren't any system services running TCP locally on iOS - iOS has much more sophisticated IPC mechanisms for that.
That's a fair point-- a naive hypothesis based only on heat dissipation won't predict the correct exponent. My criticism was basically mostly about the lack of citations in the article to all the earlier people who have thought about these problems, as well as the idea that finding patterns in biological or anthropological data was somehow new and revolutionary. Maybe the article snipped a lot of the context of Dr. West's own writings-- that would be typical for science journalism.
On traditional Unix filesystems, a fixed number of inodes is provisioned when a filesystem is created. Though of course the upper bound on that is limited by the width of the numeric type ino_t (or whatever plays that role in kernel space) have you, in practice, the actual limit is lower.

I'm looking at a filesystem I have handy here; the root FS in an Ubuntu Linux VM. dumpe2fs /dev/sda1 says that the inode count is 1146880. Just a million and something: way less than what a even a 32 bit inode number can represent.

That filesystem simply cannot have more objects than that, in total.

With this type of filesystem, you have to estimate how many objects you will ever need to store in it, not only how much total storage. If you estimate too high, you waste inodes. Suppose inodes are 128 bytes wide and you provision four billion of them. Oops, that's like half a terabyte of storage dedicated to the array of inodes!
The Ultimate Vegan Overnight Oats
Beware: Nylas cloud email retains all emails after account deletion
TLDR:

- Nylas stores the keys to access your account even after you delete it.

- Nylas doesn't actually delete your data, or it takes many many months.

Full story:

I was an early adopter of Nylas N1 when it first came out: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10333193. I had contributed to the project and hoped that self hosting the sync engine was going to become easier. In the interim I used the built in nylas cloud.

When they switched to paid only, I cancelled my account in mid july (you had to manually mail a deletion request from each account). I loaded up the email client a few days later to find my emails were still syncing. Come to find out the API request re-activates any account and voids any deletion.

So they re-marked it for deletion and told me to wait a "bit". I never got any answer back to how long that was. I followed up later in the week and they had this new tool to cancel your account. I utilized the tool which said my account deletion was successful and a staff member confirmed it.

I checked again 6 weeks later and sure enough it still syncs. They don't actually delete anything despite several confirmations that it is deleted. They can request your emails at any time even though I no longer have a Nylas account. This means they can pull my emails into their system without my knowledge or approval. They also failed to delete any of my existing data despite numerous requests over a 2 month period.

I reached out to support several times and was told that my account is still in queue. I also filed a security disclosure and was not taken seriously.

I combed through the privacy policy (https://nylas.com/privacy-policy/) and they will delete your data "as soon we can". The security (https://nylas.com/security/) policy doesn't reference data retention.

Beware.
To label so-called causative factors or even actual relationships (in a shifting...virtual...hyperspace) among potential relationships is a separate task than to make meaningful predictions or predictable changes. The Universe is inherently a system-less set of potentials. The strongest system is the one that is indeterminate in its methodologies. Systems are survivors of reduction processes.

> Promotion of drugs and regulated substances, including selling, use and abuse of such items

Regulated by whom? Alcohol is banned in some countries, so does that mean a video on wine tasting is eligible for monetization if uploaded in the UK but not eligible if uploaded in Saudi Arabia?

It seems like a reactive and overbearing policy change, but I'll admit to being ignorant of their motivations. This kind of soft censorship is a loss to the end user, regardless.

Regarding Russia:

While Russia's nefarious intent or not is a subject worthy of debate, I think it's ENORMOUSLY interesting that the source of the idea that Russia is a huge problem and their interference is something we should watch out for is the Clinton campaign.

I think this tells us something interesting about Clinton's foreign policy orientation, namely, she is extremely interested in antagonizing Russia.

This is part of a pattern: Clinton and her foundation have been closely involved with Ukrainian oligarchs, the State Department was involved in planning out the Ukrainian government post-Yanukovych, and Clinton has waxed nostalgic about how we need to bring back our Cold War mentality (I recall her doing this in a Daily Show interview a few years ago, e.g.).

This is the thing to watch out for, regarding Russia.
I know one of the original iPhone and iPod Touch jailbreaks worked that way. I just went to a website and it automatically rooted and installed the homebrew app for me.
OK, I stand corrected. However, it sounds like technically you must possess a copy of the binary to request source code, although the GPL doesn't require you to furnish proof that you have such a binary. IE there must be a chain of transferring the written offer from company to purchaser to third party. Or in other words you must have a copy of that written offer in order to request the source code (and the text of the FAQ seems to support that).

I'm not very familiar with Redis, so I might be missing something here.

But if the choice, after a Redis update, is between:
a) my software breaking and, hopefully, an error message saying "redis failure parsing 'XYZ'"
or
b) my software /maybe/ continuing to function, while passing commands to Redis that it's ignoring

I would always pick (a), and I think most programmers would think likewise.
Warren Buffet's advice for retail investors—that is, people who are not particularly wealthy, have no special connections in the finance world, and do not want to cultivate special expertise—is to buy an S&P 500 index fund with very low fees and never make a withdrawal until retirement. He specifically recommends Vanguard's S&P 500 fund.
Never, but I did live in the neighborhood to the west of it (Crown Heights) for a few years (where the shooting I mentioned happened). Crown Heights is much more gentrified now than when I lived there.
> at the expense of small ones and, to a large degree, individual users.

Is that a real expense at all though? I would argue that, empirically, it is zero. As in zero evidence of contributions to Linux detracting from my needs as a small player and user.

Every community is going to drive things in their "own" direction, and that direction is largely dictated by use by those developers. If it were a difference, an expense on the people, there would be a community with differing views of what the kernel should be doing. They could contribute code towards their ends, or fork. Given that there is practically zero interest in this, I would say that it's fairly clear that a so-called "corporate Linux," in the form of largely corporate code contributions, has come at zero expense to the "people."

Evolution is (for some bizarre reason) both controversial and political.

Will videos explaining evolution be de-monetised?

EDIT: YT seem to be doing a boneheaded "search for problem words in titles, and demonetise that video". Hence this channel (which is full of stuff that is possibly against the new terms is mostly monetised apart from one video about preventing veteran suicide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRo1KI1JC3A )

(Not sure if it counts as political conflict, or if that means more along the lines of Basque Seperatism?)

Anyway, it's great that they managed to get up and running in such a limit time at this scale.

It's obvious that there are challenges decentralisation and status monitoring, but I personally have high hopes and in general with I2P it's great to have multiple players working for censorship-free internet.

Michael J. Barany, the OP of the scientificamerican article, wrote a response to this response: http://mbarany.com/ReplyToThonyC.html (not very convincing, IMHO, mainly because all the "math is elitist"-arguments Barany makes are not specific to math, but to any intellectual endeavour. One could /s/math/writing/g in the whole article and it would continue to make sense.)

Browsers could pin DNS responses when a page finishes loading so any further requests for that domain will use the cached IP instead of doing name lookups but that would be a PITA because they generally rely on the OS DNS subsystem. It might also break long-running pages that won't failover anymore.

It would probably be easier to simply keep a IS_LOOPBACK flag for every DNS name resolved and kill any connection attempts if the flag changes while the page is loaded. Then you can keep using the OS DNS resolver logic.

DNS might legitimately return a different CDN but it sure as hell won't flip between private IP spaces and the public internet.

Of course, a freelancer who has a healthy practice and good relationship with many clients can and likely will lose some clients if they take a publicly aggressive stance with other clients.

And, be clear, egregious violations aren't the concern. The concern is if you see a freelancer constantly partaking of expensive or just annoying audits on good faith partners. It can drive folks away.

This is why the lines are drawn at 95/5. If it were actually the other direction, things would be different.
