I ask this sincerely: Why do we think that these are important questions, other than that they have been asked over and over, by people who have a vested interest in perpetuating them? Maybe there's no why, no meaning.
I think the discussions are useful, even if the conclusions aren't. Discussing best practices gets everyone to bring up the pros and cons of each. Then, when confronted with a new area, one can apply those arguments to figure out a decent set of best practices for that particular field.
POSIX talks about it a little bit: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_...

Some argument-handling libraries like Python's argparse and PHP's Symfony Console generate usage help for you, and they all use a relatively similar formatting that i think was inspired by the formatting of man pages: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/man-pages.7.html

docopt (http://docopt.org/) is an attempt to standardise it from the other way around — instead of you defining the options in the code and it generating the usage help for you, you write the usage help and it generates the code to define the options. But i don't know that it's super widely used.

It also depends on your definition of data center. It's really multi-region that is the problem since then it's the speed of light you have to deal with.

Quorum across some data centers is fast enough that it's not hard to manage in new applications.

But quads are different.

Quads take less skill to operate, because they hover and are self-stabilizing. Also first person video hardware did not exist in the past, so finding a target is much easier.

It's easier than ever to fly several kilos of something somewhere a few hundred meters away.
It's one of those things that outrages everyone, until they get the same capability, and then is utterly adopted. We do a lot of things wrong, mostly to do with overuse of our assets, but there is nothing inherently wrong with drones.

Interesting how this story has been kicked out from front page.
No, hashes generally require twice as many bits in order to avoid birthday attacks — that's why one uses SHA-256 for 128-bit security.

98 bits is still plenty, of course, but it's not 128 bits.
As someone who teaches females in middle school HTML/CSS this is very accurate. While the vast majority of them enjoy the course, when I survey them if they would continue learning to code they respond no more often than not.

Social stigma plays a large role at that age; this is also when they start thinking about boys and having self expression (clothes, music, books). It's _nerdy_ to be interested in computers. The know-it-all also becomes the outcast. That's the geek or loser. There's nothing more important than social status. It's really unfortunate.
America became a melting pot of entrepreneurial DNA. Nikola Tesla came to America to commercialize his AC power ideas. Silicon Valley came about because someone found this continent. Europe was stagnating in technological advances.

Albert Einstein used thought experiments about trains and elevators to came up with general relativity and how we view gravity. We wouldn't have accurate GPS if it wasn't for him.

It isn't possible for us to imagine what people will discover after being inspired by that journey to Mars.
Just to clarify, the position you have is you should only be able to be fired for your actions, not your beliefs (however widely communicated)?

You haven't looked hard enough, also a brick of C4 wouldn't do nearly as much damage as you would think.

A cheap 100-200$ RC plane can carry 1-2kg if pushed which is considerably more than any drone at that price range.

In fact older RCs could carry more since they were still petrol based newer electrical ones tend to have considerably less power on average.

I think the position is (or at least mine is) that an organization should only be able to judge you for your actions on behalf of that organisation and that anything you do when not directly representing that organisation (like at a bar or posting on facebook) should have absolutely no bearing on your role at that organisation.
"Public data" doesn't mean easily accessible.

Twitter sells access to their data. They can cancel that account, but the data is still public. Without the access contract it is inconvenient and against the terms of service to access in bulk.

I 100% agree with this. If we can make robots that can build things in 3rd world contries with minimal supervision then we can send those bots to Mars.

Humans simply require too many resources to survive. I believe Mars should be colonized by bots who terraform a small part enough for humans to survive.
Having used all the encrypted call possibilities there are , you are, in my opinion, absolutely spot on. SC has exceptional clarity. WA isn't bad.

Can you talk more about "our guys" in respect to the fact that the CIA and NSA use the Blackphone? Should I, as a casual business person, be wondering that the handsets you supply to them are in some way compromised? I know that both the NSA and the CIA are interested in my phone conversations, which is why I ironically bought a Blackphone (for when I assume they are listening) and others which make their life harder (but I do accept that I do this more for the kicks of making them work for their intel)

tl:dr - is SC actually secure given that the company has been short on cash for a while and that the CIA and NSA equip their agents with the same phones. I don't mind talking because I have nothing to hide, but backdoor code is usually the case if you are selling 10k phone units to US LE.

If you don't do anything under the immediate and direct mandate of your organization your opinions and actions are your own.

The fact that some how it can or should spill onto to your employer just shows how fixated people are about partisanship.

If I express a political opinion under a clear mandated of protected speech like during say a political rally there is nothing my employer should be able to do to me.
This is something we must protect as its critical to democracy and pluralism.

Unless you are dandy with how we used to fire commies in the 60s and 70s.

It amazes me that people can consider them selves being liberal and don't understand the concept of protected speech and free speech.
It sounds like a typical case of contract-lawyer boilerplate stuffing where nobody in charge read it or cared enough to change it.

Similar to what Facebook, Twitter, etc have done in the past.

> This, despite the fact that, per the very article we're discussing, 94% of senior devs are men, 92% of IT managers are men, and 93% of the heads of IT are men.

Yep. It's not incompatible. Maybe most women don't want to spend their life in front of a computer. Maybe, as Margeritte Yourcenar used to mention, being a head of IT is a shit life and women are more clever than men in not trying to get so high. Maybe if you start with an all-male community and overpromote women, then 10 years is still not enough to become head of IT. Those numbers are little proof of discrimination. We need to know the mean-time-to-promotion.

> This, despite the fact that studies continue to show that simply changing the name on a resume from a man's to a woman's has significant negative effects.

This is a much more serious offense, and straight illegal in any developed economy (I hope). But if I had to hire a woman in my company, I'd be very afraid that hiring a woman leads to an (unwarranted) harassment accusation against the CEO like it so often did (GitHub and so many others, I'm looking at you), so I'd probably weigh whether it's worth sticking with a discrimination lawsuit risk. I'd probaboy still hire the woman, though, for ethics. But I would probably keep her in a separate room from me, just to dodge sexual harassment claims. What a f'cked world we live in. Can't even have a normal behaviour with women.

> None of taken's ridiculous assertions are supported by any evidence whatsoever.

Thank you for the insult, which tells a lot about the soundness of your personality. My evidence is:

- Around me, I see women be promoted, it's a pretty strong fact,

- OP's study says women are promoted faster than men, so it corroborates my supposedly "magnified own problems" (If men aren't allowed to have problems, wtf),

- There are laws that require companies to promote women as much as men and to reach quotas of managers.

- ...along with the dozen other comments with factual references and links I've posted today.

My position is very well documented because of people like you, and you're welcome if you want to discuss facts. On the other hand, if a rational reasoning triggers so much of your emotions, then it means you're associating my position with macho personalities like Trump, fascists or racists, and that means you're making a generalization about me. Did you know that generalizations trump the acurate perception? I'm much more in favour of women's rights than you think – I just can't stand the men-disparaging that we repeat over and over.
I'm actually kind of happy with it how it is now.

Reading the comment without knowing the commenters "notability" let's the comment stand on its own. After the comment I can read that the person did X or Y.

But having the comment distinguished somehow would give it more "weight" than it necessarily deserves. After all, just because someone is notable doesn't make them infallible.
If you could point me to a smartphone that had an enormous amount of energy crammed in to the battery I'd be delighted. Would buy on of those today for sure.

That does look quite reasonable yes. You're right, for a statically typed language it does feels quite dynamic. I think a good blog article comparing Nim to Swift would be very interesting, I couldn't find such a thing.

Thanks for your input!

Edit: Looking at http://roadfiresoftware.com/2015/10/how-to-parse-json-with-s... I think I'd much rather have Nim. This is exactly the sort of thing where types get in the way and slow development down tremendously. If I get external data it should be enough to just be aware that all accesses return an "optional", which has to be dealt with accordingly as part of error handling. Letting types get in the way as well is basically doing the work twice.
It is a similar problem, however: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem#Same_birthday...
I think this article isn't bad, as no doubt design patterns and algorithms will allow you to use intuition to come up with slick code.

I'd argue though that it isn't enough to be a good programmer! Come on, do you want to be the one hammering nails in to a piece of wood, or do you want to be the one orchestrating the building of an elegant building.

You should strive to be a Software Engineer. To me, this is what being a Software Craftsman really means. Its about the entire process of writing Software, not just the drinking coffee and banging on keys part. Its past time we start taking ourselves more seriously, and gain the respect we deserve!

Brutalist buildings exist because they are cheap and allow for architects to differentiate themselves.

It is almost the physical manifestation of enterprise software: ugly, minimally functional, uncomfortable to the hapless inhabitants, and impossible to maintain.

The article references the lament of brutalist fans that the near-universal hatred of these buildings results in neglect. The reality is that the prioritizarion of hubris over function translates to buildings that aren't fit to purpose. Wacky sight lines usually translate to complex roof and gutter systems, which fail. Poor engineering practice makes HVAC difficult to deliver, resulting in high costs and poor occupant comfort.

You might find Riverside Plaza (aka Cedar Towers) in Minneapolis an interesting bit of colorful Brutalism. It's a collection of apartment towers that use a variety of colored panels alongside the deck doors. They're highly visible, at the intersection of two interstates and across from downtown.

Today, they're populated almost entirely by Somali immigrants, which really makes for a particular Third-World feel that's not visible from photos. Cedar-Riverside is a lively and densely populated neighborhood, and the towers definitely dominate.
He's implying we should retaliate against people because of their voting decisions, which is a hugely shitty thing to do.

But you don't know if someone is doing it for themselves and community reputation, or if they're a fake persona created by someone who wants to break into servers. All it takes is one stereotypically-stubborn open source maintainer who gets grumpy about switching old reliable cryptographic defaults for kids-these-days defaults - which is a thing that real-world stubborn open source maintainers, on whom the stereotypes are based, do: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13286

Do you know if the version of OpenSSL in your Debian has any patches to its cipher suite selection algorithm, compared to upstream? (Genuine question; I haven't checked.) If it did, and you saw someone being grumpy on a Debian bug and refusing to remove the patch, would you suspect that they were actually evil? Or just grumpy?

Remember, also, that Debian is the distro that patched their OpenSSL to ludicrously weaken the random-number generator, and the Snowden leaks confirmed that the NSA backdoored a random-number algorithm. I am not at all saying that the NSA was behind the patch (it looked genuinely like an oversight), but if the NSA wanted to be behind a similar patch, no one would think it abnormal.
Supporting a political candidate doesn't mean you support literally everything they have ever said. It only means you prefer them out of the given viable options.

> I'm not quite sure why where the sources of funding from the people who are suing them are relevant.

Because there are legal and ethical restrictions on third parties paying for your legal representation.

When a third party pays for somebody's legal fees there needs to be an understanding that the third party is not in control of the legal team they're paying for. That's because what the third party wants may not necessarily by in the client's best interests.

I am not saying that applies in this case - I'm just pointing out why courts can and do find it on occasion relevant to ask who is funding a case and whether if it is a third party they have made the appropriate arrangements.
