If you remove the err assignment the compiler will also complain about a value assignment mismatch:

You would have to explicitly assign the err return value to underscore in order to ignore it.

EDIT: do not panic as much, nvm, this is in `recvmmsg` not `recvmsg`, which is not used by much software. Definitely not sshd or nginx. I can't find any software I have installed that does.

Reimage everything from scratch if you're a bit paranoid, because in theory someone could have rooted every server running any internet-accessible thing (even just sshd or nginx)

Realistically, update ASAP and figure out from other sources how difficult this is to exploit and how likely it is that anyone actually did get a working RCE

Or I can buy an iPhone and run the latest software with zero effort.

That is a big difference, especially when you consider that the vast majority of consumers would have to look up the terms "AOSP" and "bootloader" after reading your comment, and even after looking them up, would have no idea what to do.

4chan to die
How much of such super power status was derived from Fed itself vs a system that was able to distribute and allocate resources more efficiency than the time before?

One could argue that the Fed (and other central banking institutions), compared to times before was that more efficient system, but idealistically, efficient systems are not bounded by the present situation, just temporarily constrained by such. And as people like Bill Gross (who cofounded PIMPCO) are starting to publicly state in some form another, is loosing its effectiveness when it comes to managing resource allocation beyond the state we are at. There are a whole host of human endeavors that are not undertaken (think infrastructure investments) because its more profitable in the short term for large institutions to use their near zero interest credit lines on financial markets, but in the long term are blinded to opportunities that can only come from more efficiency in sectors like energy/mining/transportation.
Of course it depends on how fast the system is moving and how much area it covers.

I've been kept up all night with the noise caused by the high winds, particularly when it is gusting. The sound of the wind and all the banging and clattering of scrap being tossed around, doors and windows rattling and slamming, car alarms and so on.

The sound of the wind when it reaches its peak is equally awe inspiring and terrifying.

I've only experienced one eye and it is quite surreal. Screaming winds start to drop and it becomes eerily quiet and calm for (in this case) a couple of hours. Then the chaos and fury start to ramp up again.
I can recommend adding a faster way to try it, either a demo online or even better a docker image.

Photo of the buoy http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/images/stations/42089.jpg

Looks like at most 50 watt solar panels, probably closer to 25 watts. It probably has 4 of them but only 2 can make any appreciable amount of power at a time. Not much power at all considering the instrumentation and lighting load(I believe most are lit at night for collision avoidance) and that it has to power the buoy and recharge the batteries during the day.

I considered why they wouldn't put larger panels/batteries -- cost, which, compared to what I would think is the overall cost, would be minimal.

Wind loading is another story -- It looks fairly streamlined. Larger panels would significantly increase the wind load, and they already have a fair bit of trouble keeping them attached in storms(though more likely due to the waves).

Why clojure.zip sucks
That was a surprisingly sensational interpretation by Reuters of the original quote. Looking at the source, he didn't recommend these assets. What was actually wrote was:

"At some point investors — leery and indeed weary of receiving negative or near zero returns on their money, may at the margin desert the standard financial complex, for higher returning or better yet, less risky alternatives. Bitcoin and privately agreed upon block chain technologies amongst a small set of global banks, are just a few examples of attempts to stabilize the value of their current assets in future purchasing power terms. Gold would be another example — historic relic that it is. In any case, the current system is beginning to be challenged"

To answer your question. Yes. Thousands of people are looking into this all day every day. From economists in academia to CIO's at every major bank to the motley crew of econ-conspiracy-theory bloggers.

Like many things in economics, data to study this is limited and noisy and just sucks. Lot of assumptions needed in the models and there is no historical precedent to bounce on.

TL;DR There is no consensus whether zero percent interest rates will turn out to be overall good, bad or neutral for the economy. To the extent there may be winners and losers, even details of that are still unclear. Any other answers right now are just speculating opinions.

My opinion at this point: I agree that ZIRP/NIRP do not work under the current business models that underpin our entire economy! (try it for yourself put a zero in a denominator of a fraction)... But I disagree this necessarily destroys the business models, maybe it does turn out very bad or maybe business models just change/fix the error as they were written poorly to begin with and things will be OK. Who knows.

This article has been a pivotal point in my life. It was years ago when I read this that I started looking out "how to develop a webapp without a framework", my journey took me to Django, RoR, node and finally to Go.

I think this is a result of the frustration Gross has with central banks printing money. He is mad that it makes it difficult to make money in bonds, but no one under 50 cares about this.

A side-effect is that it makes stock prices go up regardless of the underlying value. This people care about so this is the message he keeps spreading.

Negative interest rates, which he is also concerned about, are insane. People would be rioting in the streets if they really understood how this inflates value for those who have money and inflates debt for those who owe.

Maybe. I've modded more than one device from the US for AU power by changing 1 capacitor for a higher voltage unit.

I believe European mains is 220 volts and our Australian mains is 230 volts, so it should be fine. I think.

>> I've never owned a phone with more than 2GB of RAM and I'm not sure what I'm missing out on.

> It's Linux under the hood which will always make use of more memory,

Linux won't really be the beneficiary of all the extra RAM in this case. The motivation behind the extra RAM is Java.

It is well known (i.e. researched) that garbage collection system performance is heavily dependent on free RAM. You typically want around 4x the amount of your peak memory usage to keep the garbage collector speed reasonable. The more free RAM, the better the performance.

http://sealedabstract.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-...

But having 4x has been a real challenge for mobile and Android over the years, especially as people want to do more and more with the phones. It also didn't help that Dalvik and ART are new ground-up implementations of the Java VM which means a lot of optimizations for garbage collection needed to be reimplemented from scratch.

The lack of needing to support a garbage collector is a big reason Apple can get away with shipping far less RAM in their phones which in turn helps keep their profit margins high.

"The revolution will not be televised".

The beginning of the end of use-after-free, buffer overflows, stack smashers, et al will be when we as a community finally accept that C is a terrible language, impossible for ordinary humans to reason about, and must be abandoned. Only when we begin to accept that truth will we all get serious about moving away from it.

For many years the response has been that "C is fine" or some variant of "humans will be better programmers in the future" both of which are demonstrably false.

No one questions the wisdom of paramtaraizing SQL. No one questions the wisdom of not writing your own crypto. Yet despite the mountains of evidence, wasting billions (yes BILLIONS) of man-hours and dollars, and even lives lost there is still resistance to the idea that C needs to die ASAP.

So as long as there are posts like yours our job of educating and persuading isn't finished and that's extremely important if we have a hope of actually making this desperately needed change.

If you still doubt let me go ahead and make a prediction: before the end of the year there will be another RCE exploit in the Linux kernel discovered and a different one will be written, code-reviewed, and committed but not discovered until later (but within 5 years). I'm happy to put $1,000 on this wager.
Thanks for the feedback, and I agree. I love the idea of a docker image to create a demo environment.

I run Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 4, have done for about 6 months now.

It's tolerable, and refreshingly non-intrusive compared to Android. At one point I started craving Snapchat and put Android back on, but all the intrusive nag screens put me off and I went back to Ubuntu.

It crashes a lot but that might just be my Nexus 4, it used to do it on Android too.

It's a bit slow, the camera app is rubbish, there's no Snapchat, the email client has some weird bugs, there's no adblock. But it has Telegram, and it can do calls and texts, the web browser is OK, and the terminal app is good.

I'm one of the OSRM devs.

To expand on this comment a bit - OSRM still uses Dijkstra, so if you understand that, you already basically understand what OSRM does.

What OSRM does in order to speed things up is optimize the graph structure - we still use Dijkstra, but the search completes in a handful of steps, rather than hundreds of thousands.

There are quite a few techniques like this. OSRM implements an approach called Contraction Hierarchies. We scan over the graph, inserting "shortcuts" that skip over nodes. As long as you follow a few basic rules, you can repeatably insert shortcuts all over the graph. This gives you a routing graph that is equivalent, but a Dijkstra search will typically complete in a handful of iterations.

We hope one day to implement several other speedup techniques - each has advantages/disadvantages, depending on what you want to do. Contraction Hierarchies lead to very fast queries (~5ms for a cross-the-US route), but the pre-processing time is very long (~6hrs on a beefy machine for the OSM planet). Any updates to the graph require complete re-processing (new/removed roads, adjusted road speeds, etc). Other techniques compromise search performance for a bit more flexibility - faster update times, query customization (i.e. "avoid highways").

It's a really fascinating corner of CS theory to work in, I really enjoy it :-)

This paper:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1504.05140.pdf

"Route Planning in Transportation Networks" gives an excellent overview of current search speedup techniques. It's a bit hefty, but if you're interested in knowing what's the state of the art, this is a good place to start.

Minor nitpick: calling it a a clone of the Unix 'ps' wouldn't be exactly right, since I understand /proc is Linux-specific.

Using "Knot" because it's tied to longitude and latitude is the exact point the metric system is designed to avoid: needless and inaccurate attachments between system of units and specific phenomena that actually complicate rather than simplify and hinder interoperation with every other system.

As you state:

1. a knot is only approximately equal to 1 min of latitude per hour (there are numerous cases where it's unusably wrong)

2. doesn't really help for longitudinal travel

3. maps are continuously projected to favor this mediocre form of navigation instead of something more accurate (see Mercator projection)

4. you could easily put kilometre lines on your charts instead of minutes of latitude and fix all the previous problems

Does this mean that everything built back then is built bad? Why does the Empire State Building still stand?
The problem is: plain Julia is faster than plain CPython. But Numba has solved this problem for me, by compiling my hot loop in-place. Other people report similar success with PyPy, Cython, or Pyston.

Furthermore, libraries like scikit-learn, pandas, matplotlib, or scipy are incredibly powerful, and usually implement in fast languages. Python is only there to glue them together.

For my applications, I just don't see any compelling reason why I should use Julia over Python. In practice, Julia is (for the above reasons) not faster in practice, and the libraries are a lot less mature. I try Julia every few months though, and there is progress. Maybe in a few years.
These days, even the carpool lanes are full, given that electric cars and even hybrids before a certain year have unlimited legal access even without any passengers.

Also it's worth noting how many comments' worth of debates there are in this thread over specific processors, phones they come in, and software configurations, when the competitor's answer is "we put out a phone once a year, just get the latest whenever you feel like upgrading and it'll be the fastest one out there".
