And thus, death by a thousand cuts. If an entity is getting 20k in tax breaks or "handouts" it's in their best interest to defend that. To the taxpayer however, the $1.78 you're paying (or whatever the minuscule number is) to cover that annually is nothing to you, and certainly not worth your time to fight against.

Relatives of a victim are generally protected by the press, but relatives of a criminal are not. Right or wrong this doesn't seem outside of accepted USA norms. Other countries are another matter, where often criminals identities are protected.
I think commenter is describing his company's operation, what attacks they were facing, and that listening to advice countered them. Commenter doesn't mention a SQL Injection or claim his case applies to anything else. Instead, merely points out that listening to professionals who understand risks of your technology and following their advise can prevent problems caused by those risks. That was my take.
There's definitely an amplification factor at work here. This could DoS my professional and personal lives pretty quick ;-P
The latest attack wasn't using spoofed traffic, from my understanding. Hacked devices were directly sending traffic.

And I ask you this, how is an ISP supposed to know if a device is hacked, or for example, is a webcam uploading a stream to a redistribution site. It can take days to chase down all the IPs, even in the US, and get the ISPs to deal with them.
You mean the same Arab Spring that sparked 4 or 5 civil wars (depending how you count), led to the rise of IS, and in the civil wars aftermaths caused more civil wars in neighbor countries that were invaded by foreign guerrilla fighters?

When I made some napkin calculations some time ago, Arab Spring and its fallout so far killed about 300.000 people and displaced millions. Is the positive non monetary value enough to compensate that much deaths and destruction?

I'd never considered that set of circumstances before. The politicians who voted it into law probably didn't consider it either.

And that's exactly the problem: we have layer upon layer of vague and badly-written legislation, which ends up creating terrifying loopholes like the one described above.

My tinfoil hat paranoia is not quite at the level of thinking they're doing it on purpose (although I wonder sometimes).

But it's easy to see that indiscriminate surveillance combined with these vague laws create a situation where anyone could be victimised by the authorities. It's a totalitarian dictator's dream.
I don't think the main issue here is that he is supporting or giving money to Trump. It's that in a time of awful political discourse, he is bankrolling an organization whose mission is literally dedicated to proving that “shitposting is powerful and meme magic is real.”

No one is arguing against that point. However, most people do not need their browser state to be needlessly backed-up that aggressively (every 15 seconds - which is about the same time it took me to type everything before this sentence). I'm OK with losing up to 20 minutes of my state in a browser. Most work done in a browser is usually synced to an upstream browser every few minutes - auto saved emails or multi-step web-apps.
I'd agree, if you mean broadcasting an SSID should be opt-in by default, but not if you mean having a publicly broadcast SSID be mapped should be opt-in by default separately from broadcasting the SSID.

OTOH, to the extent this is not true, its ISPs and router manufacturers who are at fault.
In contrast, GNU grep uses libc’s memchr, which is standard C code with no explicit use of SIMD instructions. However, that C code will be autovectorized to use xmm registers and SIMD instructions, which are half the size of ymm registers.

I don't think this is correct. glibc has architecture specific hand rolled (or unrolled if you will lol) assembly for x64 memchr. See here: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/x86...
I imagined a "gmail inbox", but with each "email" instead being an arbitrary widget. So you'd share a spreadsheet via "email", but it's not an attachment... it's an actual spreadsheet being shared.

I was less excited when I found Wave was its own product, rather than a Gmail integration. Putting the widgets inside the same email inbox you have open for hours each day would be the best way to get people to actually use it.

Haha yeah, just love devops I guess. Playing with kubernetes has been one of my hobbies for a few months. I suppose it's overkill for most hobby use cases, but I set up a small home cluster and have been loving it.

It's much more natural now that I have some experience and now my little hobby apps can go on that cluster, and if I decide I want to deploy one for reals, it's just a few tweaks to get it going in any number of places.

And how would normalizing crime and having children be raised by people that engage in it as a part of life the solution?

You've oversimplified my statement to the point of absurdity. There are potentially many other ways to address those problems that do not require just letting people go after they commit crimes.
The problem highlighted is that the punishment doesn't end once you leave jail and have done your time. Society continues to punish. You might think they deserve it - and maybe they do - but that won't solve the underlying problem. All the severe issues that need to be fixed are exactly why saying, "just don't go to jail" isn't remotely helpful or reasonable. Not everyone is perfect and some will make very poor decisions that land them in jail. What we as a society should avoid is then making that the start of another cycle of criminality.
I would not consider renaming master/slave as an Orwellian "re-education". Orwellian-style re-education would be refraining from talking about the Holocaust because it causes people to get pissed off / "triggered". I also think there is a big difference between re-naming terms in computer science and not being able to talk about $ethnicity in a history class in an education setting (college campuses etc.). You should not confuse the two.

Maxhy, I understand that you are annoyed. Please recall that:

1. The only Dokany thread that I have explicitly mentioned WinFsp is this one (and only after someone else mentioned it). I avoided doing so on your Reddit thread, for example. You may consider that my original message to the Dokany mailing list was promotion, but from my perspective at least it was simply a message to like minded people.

2. That until Lyrina's message(s) in cygwin-apps, where she effectively sabotaged my ITP submission, I was willing to work with Dokany and I said so in a message to the Dokany list.

The truth is that until that ITP submission point I was not bothering anyone and was just working on my project. The only two times that I made comments on Dokany vs WinFsp was when I was explicitly asked: one time by you on the Dokany list and one time on Reddit in WinFsp's own promotion thread.

So I agree with you: let's stop the arguments here. I am willing to stop hijacking threads or trying to sabotage your project's progress. However I also want Dokany to stop insinuating that WinFsp is not being tested (where my argument about the test suites stems from) or sabotage WinFsp's progress.

>>I'd rather get paid below market value (considering either my current career path or an alternate I could have chosen) and do interesting work every day than get paid a lot and work long hours doing something I hate.

It's important to note that the spectrum you laid out has two other "corners". Many PhDs do mind-numbingly boring work, even if it's original research, while getting paid a pittance.

Conversely, there are many ways to do fascinating, intellectually vigorous and challenging work every day with only a Bachelor's or Master's qualification while getting rich.
> It was not ahead of its time, it was poorly executed. People didn't know what to make of it.

Eh, the biggest problem with using Wave was that it was only just barely usable on top-tier hardware of the time. So, for most people, it was impossible to run on their own hardware (especially on their laptops).

I think that if the performance hadn't been an issue (ie, the average hardware in 2009 had been capable of what it is in 2016), it could actually have been comparably successful to Google Docs or Google Calendar.
I don't think I understand what you mean by "white-box testing" here, but perhaps it's helpful to clarify what I meant by "equivalence" above, and how it relates to testing: what we did here was verify input/output equivalence between the imperative C code and our functional mathematical spec in Cryptol, for a range of key and input buffer sizes. This corresponds to testing all inputs of those sizes, which is not possible to do by direct testing: e.g., for a 64 byte key and a 1000 byte message, the equivalence corresponds to checking

8^(64 + 1000) =

tests, which would take "forever" to verify by direct testing.

We did not prove any properties of our mathematical specification in Cryptol, but the claim is that it's close enough to the official FIPS mathematical specification for HMAC [1] that it's easy to believe that it's correct. However, a group at Princeton has also verified HMAC in the past, and gone further than us by not only proving that the imperative C code is input/output equivalent to their mathematical spec in Coq, but also proving that their mathematical spec has the security properties of a secure hash function [2].

I'm planning many other posts on open-source topics---I've got it bad---but not any other line-by-lines at the moment.

If you're interested in this kind of thing, I _highly_ recommend Meeker's, Rosen's, and St. Laurent's books.

St. Laurent's, from O'Reilly, might be my least favorite of those three, but it's the closest to the line-by-line style.

Meeker's coverage of GPL issues is second to none.

Rosen's the best general introduction. Very approachable. Hits some fundamental concepts.
Simplicity will help me understand my code 6 months down the road; everything else is superficial and noise in comparison.

You can't hold more than ~7 things at once in your head; once things are that simple you can see bugs a mile away, types or not.

The inverse is not true; types won't help you juggle 15 things at once and bugs will happily slide through the cracks. You're going to forget your codebase, types or not, and when you come back to it only simplicity will help you quickly figure out what you were doing with it.
It seems like you're making an argument that crime statistics should not be used as a metric to focus law enforcement efforts.

What other metrics should we use? If you simply assign patrol routes based on population you are going to under-serve areas with higher crime and over-police areas that don't need it.

You also need to handle all corner cases where one of the intermediary diffs gets corrupted (you can't generally assume in a program like Firefox that data you write out is going to be readable in the future because lol common hardware).

The cases you cite were examples of laws designed to target specific communities in their actual formulation, and which are now gone and deemed reprehensible.

If a community has a high degree of crime that is defined in terms of an act, such as robbery or violence, then high incarceration rates are the obvious effect. The solution is not to ignore that it's happening and let everyone else in those neighborhoods be subject to routine criminal activity. That's ludicrous.

There are indeed systemic flaws in some communities where power is abused. But that's because of those actors, not the laws themselves.

Ode to the Desktop
I remember this. I used to have an SGI O2 and had PS3 installed. It was multi window, which was incredibly annoying, but it was pretty much how most IRIX UI worked back then.

I did one of my first paid graphic design assignments on it. It was an A2 poster for a circus, and I remember it took forever to render filters – blurs in particular! These days you can do all your work on low resolution copies and just apply the transforms to higher resolution when you need it, but you couldn't then. Or at the very least, I didn't know how to.

The suspense in waiting for that progress bar to reach the finish line...
When a normalized entity for real world display and manipulation requires over 30 join operations for a single record and children. Or requires lookup tables (db anti-pattern) in order to keep the number of tables in the schema reasonable. JOINS kill db performance at scale, enough said.

This is why document, object, key/value, column and other types of database stores have become very popular in the past decade, precisely because relational RDBMS aren't a good fit, or even good enough in many cases.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be much more inclined to use a relational/sql RDBMS in many cases. That doesn't mean they are better in even half the cases.
> Both styles still encourage a lot of mutability and complexity throughout the codebase.

> You'd get more robustness by managing complexity and state;

The top function has a return value of T. That's not encouraging mutability. It's only mutable because JS pass by reference, which is irrelevant to static/dynamic. If you use the return value instead of the passed value, it's "effectively" immutable and is a great way of managing state.
And it's not a fallacy

> An argument from authority (Latin: argumentum ad verecundiam), also called an appeal to authority, is a common type of argument which can be fallacious, such as when an authority is cited on a topic outside their area of expertise or when the authority cited is not a true expert.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority

Calling it a fallacy when there's an actual authority is the part that's incorrect. It's no longer a fallacy when the appeal to authority (argument from authority) involves an actual authority.

Indeed. It's just that it's not a good language (like Visual Basic).
Right, but suggesting to simply not send people to jail for crime because there are further repercussions to doing so doesn't in any way reasonably suggest to simply stop sending people to jail for crime. It suggests to fix the unfair repercussions.

This is really cool work, I worked with a team that implemented an ECMP hashing scheme using a set of IPs kept alive by VRRP in a previous lifetime, so I have a bit of familiarity with the space and a few questions.

The article says the L4 layer uses ECMP with consistent/rendezvous hashing. is this vendor implemented or implemented by you using openflow or something similar? How does graceful removal at the director layer work? I know you would have to start directing incoming SYNs to another group, but how do you differentiate non-SYN packets that started on the draining group vs. ones that started on the new group?

If you are using L4 fields in the hash, how do you handle ICMP? This approach could break PMTU discovery because a icmp fragmentation needed packet sent in response to a message sent to one of your DSR boxes might hash to a different box, unless considerations have been made.
