Douglass Crockford's series of 8 videos, "Crockford on JavaScript" really helped me gain a understanding of the language and a better understanding of programming in general. If you don't like or understand JavaScript, this will definitely change that. He's an excellent speaker and the talks are quite enjoyable. Here is the first video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoB2r1QxIAY. If you like it, the other 7 are available in the suggested section.
Did you even read your cited stackoverflow answer?

The first answer said exactly the same thing as I said: the understanding of classic Chinese is part of the modern Chinese education, and is enforced by the state administrated college entrance exam, which is arguably the most important thing in determining a pupil's life prospect.
I just ordered a OnePlus 3 today too (was upgrading also from a Nexus 5) after being disappointed by the Pixel's price. Funny coincidence.

(BTW the LeEco Le Pro 3 also seemed good, has slightly higher specs that OnePlus 3.)
I wonder whether the hardened allocator on CopperheadOS helps mitigate this. The project has certainly detected plenty of UAFs in Android.

Everything I've seen by Crockford is great!
If you have to use a pattern, how is the compiler enforcing it? Suppose you don't use the pattern? Since you spoke only in the abstract without so much as naming your language, I'd suggest your work exhibition should come first.
I downvoted you for this line:

> The "Latin" that is generally studied at university these days comes from a mediaeval Latin that is a simplification of this old, vernacular form.

You're on solid ground to say that in the classical period there were several registers of Latin, that the lower registers gave rise to vulgar and late latin, and that those gave rise to church latin. (I can only really interpret "medieval Latin" as referring to church latin.) You're certainly on solid ground to say that speaking Italian won't let you understand Latin.

But the Latin you study in a normal Latin course is the high register of the classical period, Classical Latin. It doesn't derive from medieval Latin, it predates it by many hundreds of years.
Haven't looked at this too closely, but iptables are unlikely to help. The bug appears to be in the recvmmsg() syscall, which is where the packet leaves the kernel and enters the userspace. The syscall itself is not that widely used, only for some unusually optimized UDP servers, you are unlikely to have one running. But you can check with strace just to be sure.

I have extremely hard time believing there can be a viable OS kernel project on Haskell. I mean, yeah, you probably can write OS kernel in Haskell, if you are determined enough. But I don't believe you can make it into a viable project. Rust - maybe, if you can get enough mindshare. Which is also a big if so far...
I didnt up/down vote, but rewriting in something like a performant, secure subset of Go/Rust/X and formally-proving correctness to remove many classes of errors would arguably have immense net value greater than the pain and cost of progressive/gradual rewriting migration from C to something with fewer dangerous corners and far less code to accomplish the same system behavior.
So long as the developer makes a profit, that's all that matters? Who cares if it results in a transit nightmare, that's someone else's problem. Sounds like a great way to plan a city.

Personal Vehicles Evaluated Against Climate Change Mitigation Targets
I am applying ml to a healthcare domain, and one of the challenges is irrational faith in the outcome. My model says things like - based on your past diet, you must drink more coffee and eat fewer chicken wings and....
When I showed this to a nutritionist, she is alarmed and think people who use my app might switch to an all-coffee diet!
Now the ml model is simply interpreting features to minimize the loss function. It doesn't know what is coffee, or what will happen to a human if he switches to an all-coffee diet in reality.
One of the VCs said my app was like a GPS for the body. This is awesome and problematic in the same way - if your GPS tells you to turn right and it's pitch dark and you just do what the GPS says and fall off a cliff, is it the GPS's fault ? Perhaps you didn't pay the annual update fee so it's working off of the old maps.

However in the big picture I agree with you. Now is the time to be building these things.
Doh. That meant to be http://notdeadyet.org not .com
Well, the Greeks became Romans. Romans stopped meaning citizens of Rome as the polity expanded, and you got emperors from all over the empire. Eventually the empire became Greek speaking and was centered mainly on Greece and Anatolia. My understanding is that there are still Greeks in Turkey that refer to themselves as Romans.

There's a story about Greek children running up to look at Greek soldiers landing on Lemnos during the First Balkan War in 1912 (Hellenes refers to Greeks)[1]:

Some of the children ran to see what Greek soldiers looked like. "What are you looking at?" one of them asked.

"At Hellenes," the children replied.

"Are you not Hellenes yourselves?" a soldier retorted.

"No, we are Romans."

Good riddance. I don't understand what is worth scavanging from the carcas.
Yes you're right. We've had people write to us with certain skills and we've had to say that we simply can't provide enough high quality or relevant leads for that certain area. We'd love to incorporate a free trial in the future, but at the moment it's quite a bit of work to gather leads for each user, but the handpicked aspect is the heart of our service and we'd hate to automate that. We'll have to add to our team and then think about offering a trial!
I disagree. It is possible to put some real effort into the compiler making the same C code safe against such problems without infinitely expensive rewrites.
I hate to say it but... this would really be great with a set of wireless earbuds.

Regarding the transistor one, great comment by Tachikoma that really gets to the key issues:

"Hydrofluoric acid... 1000 degree oven... a child can do it..."

Lol. Yeah, I encourage using 3rd-party fabs on visually-inspectable processes for the individual components for a reason. Doing it by hand at transistor level can friggin kill you. Still neat stuff to learn, though.
> Anyone have any other potential explanations?

It's probably a combination of many factors.

It could already have been solved at least in theory.

A Tiny House on Wheels or THOW can be built for between 5000 and 50,000 dollars depending on specifications. I have even talked to two people (on HN and on Reddit) on the verge of homelessness who are building small transports for shelter (several hundred dollars) which they can haul by bicycle. These can be very effective in the colder months.

The sticking point is Land, or rather, Parking. Tiny Housers are very political active and slightly devious but for people in cities in particular this is tough.

There is a nice technical problem to solve for here if you could build a closed loop system for each input and output for a small house. I don't know that the technology exists for getting it to work properly even on a small scale at reasonable cost.

Because if one could solve that, then lots of problems go away.

Of course reading classic Chinese requires extensive training, that's what their middle and high school educations are for. I don't know who you talked to, but if they are in college, they have passed that part of the training. They might be shamed to admit to a foreigner how much of their lives have been wasted in studying these useless things every semester. But that does not change the fact that they are trained to read classic text, because that's what the state mandates.

What you do not seem to understand, is that the classic written Chinese had always been different from vernacular Chinese. This was true even for ancient times, because the classic written Chinese is NOT a record of spoken language, but a literary form, whose mastering is a prerequisite towards ascending into the aristocracy class in China.

The fact that email is a digital postcard doesn't mean it must be.

SMTP was designed with no privacy, security, reputation, or authentication capabilities. Even the add-ons which provide some of these (e.g., PGP -- and I'm looking for the comment on this thread mentioning that) doesn't address what's almost always more useful than full-text search: metadata.

It's the systematic failure of tech industry leadership to come up with an open and viable alternative to email that's landed us in this position, and that's a lack of action that's increasingly utterly indefensible.

Yes ..

Does this vulnerability work only on a particular architecture?
So you're saying that it is bad for people to complain when they are shafted. That they should look on the bright side for whatever they were subjected to.

And you are saying that you want to hire people that will not complain when they are exploited. I'd not want to work for anyone like you, since you would think it is my fault that I was stupid enough to get screwed.

What this whole Squad developer thing tells me is there needs to be a way for exploited employees to retaliate legally, because nothing much seems to be happening at the moment.
I realize it's popular to peddle conspiracy theories about Google in some circles but think about just how many people use Google search, Gmail, Chrome, Android, etc. – do you really think their choice of routers matters more?

There's also an inconvenient truth that such problems are greatly hindered by … Google in their prominent role improving security for average users. If their goal was to spy on people, they'd be the last to push HTTPS, HSTS, HKP, various TLS hardening, etc. rather than one of the first.

I haven't tried the Newsblur app for a while, but it used to be a long time ago.

My main usage is to download everything automatically while on wi-fi, with a readability version of the full pages, and read offline while commuting.

For some reason, the native Newsblur for Android was not the best for this, but Newsrob fit the bill quite nicely while being simple to use.

Maybe Newsblur app has caught up, but I haven't noticed.

Rajiv Fernando was not qualified to be on this particular natsec expert board that comes with a Top Secret clearance.

Political patronage isn't necessarily wrong when you're handing out the typical ambassadorships which people tend to actually be qualified for.

However, it certainly becomes "actual corruption" when you start putting those people in impactful roles that they're utterly unqualified for.

I hope the devs found their own studio and make a competing product. I feel like they could potentially make more money and an even better game.

That's weird, here we get a /48 v6 block by default and one /32 v4 address. You'll never need more v6 addresses, but each v4 address comes at a monthly fee.
Yep. Though I assume this needs some interesting network traffic to trigger it.
Wait, "we in Laouche's Youth Movement.." ( http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.com/Articles%202004/Spring... ) - what is this publication, exactly?

Wikipedia says:

> 21st Century Science and Technology is a quarterly magazine established in 1988 following the federal government's closing down of its predecessor Fusion Magazine (1977 to 1987). It has the same editor and material as Fusion.[67] The last hard copy issue of the magazine published was the Winter 2005-2006 issue. Subsequent issues are available in electronic PDF format only. The magazine deals with a variety of issues, including criticism of claims of anthropogenic global warming, promotion of the use of DDT[68] and support for an alternative to the standard atomic theory, based on the "Moon model" of Robert James Moon.[69] Notable writers include: J. Gordon Edwards, Zbigniew Jaworowski and Paul Marmet. According to Science and other sources, it is published by supporters of Lyndon LaRouche.

To add onto this, this was not an attack or criticism against your methods lloyd-christmas. This was more the fact that I was pointing out that the front end dev world is so fragmented that almost any view point is something you'll come across while interviewing. Your point that this is a simple task to solve without a library is a valid one, but you'd also be as likely to find a team who expects you to default to a library because any non trivial project would require it. The main problem that I think is at the heart of this conversation is that the expectations of what you know and how you work is far too fragmented for most people to keep up with
There are quite a few providers in the world that run Dual-Stack Lite (native IPv6, IPv4 is tunneled to provider-run NAT gateways) and they all hand out consumer-grade gear.

Since the OnHub only comes with Ethernet you'd have to put something between it and the wire anyways of course, but it then has to be more than a dumb modem, and you'd be forcing all traffic through the tunnel.

IPv6 isn't without problems, but many people use it without noticing, through consumer devices way cheaper than this. The ones complaining the most are the enthusiasts which suddenly can't reach their home server via IPv4 anymore.
I'm not an expert on this by any means, but.. Chinese is a totally different case due to the writing system. If you can read Mandarin, you can also read Cantonese text to a certain extent, even though the languages are mutually unintelligible in conversation.

Ancient Chinese - first of all seal script would make it a bit harder vs modern script but AFAIK everyone uses modern typography. Then the characters used in the old texts are often pretty different to modern ones, requiring a certain amount of study to interpret.

But most importantly the language itself would be entirely unintelligible to a modern Mandarin speaker. There are hundreds of dialects with varying levels of intelligibility with Mandarin within China, and the ancient Chinese languages were very, very different to Mandarin (some dialects are supposed to have certain similarities with it). So even if it were written phonetically and not logographically, it would be impossible to understand. More like studying Latin than Middle English.

Lm2 Transactions
I love me some C. Some of the funniest projects I have worked on have been written in C. My comment was sarcastic.
There are no unicorn solutions, however being religously blind to potential net value of fallible but potentially better interoperable alternatives would be irrational. Any rewrite cannot likely be accomplished in one pass (without some really smart code transpiler), but would more likely occur on a gradual migration todo list with a bidirectional interoperable language. The evaluation of such languages would likely involve requesting necessary features such as freestanding compilation, performance profiling/tracing tools and debugger integration, proofs of correctness and GC-less operation, among others. It's not impossible but it would need to be demonstrated that the perceived immense cost is significantly offset by the perceived immense value over "doing things as they've always been done."

Well considering that the quote was the entirety of the post, I don't see how you can then claim that responding with a second quote discrediting the first is in some way responding to the person and not the argument. There was no argument being made and if they tried to do the work of the commenter for them and make an argument, you'd then say they were putting words into the person's mouth.

IMO, if you are relying on a work of mid-20th century fiction to make your case that corporate corruption in the U.S. in the 21st century is somehow going out of control, then your argument has already defeated itself.

It's not even that high if you set the bar where most Hacker News readers would say that a person is capable. Just 15% are supposedly college-level, and from experience in college I can say that "college-level" isn't always what you'd hope it to be.

What portion of the population can open to a random page of something like "Campbell Biology", read the text, and actually understand at least the non-technical aspects of the text? (that is, ignoring the biology-specific terms that were explained in prior pages of the book) This is a single-digit percentage.

Heck, what portion of the population can understand my comment or yours? It's well below 65%. Illiteracy is one of those things that can be a real shocking eye-opener for a person who has read well for as long as they can remember. Things you take for granted -- like reading uncommon (not memorized) road signs -- are just not possible for a large portion of the population.

> An education in Chinese means to learn how to read these traditional Chinese writings. This education is still enforced today in modern China, hence my claim that an educated modern Chinese person can still read them and understand them. For example, a part of the Chinese college entrance exam requires the students to read an unseen piece of traditional Chinese text, and answer questions about it.

There's a serious conflict here with your simultaneous claim that college graduates aren't yet "educated".
