I switched to Arch after Ubuntu 10.04 (or 10.10, I don't really remember when they brought Unity up). And yes - it's much better in this regard, but you still see an update on their main page from time to time that will tell you this and that about some big changes and instructions to handle this. OSX\macOS didn't have anything like that in years now.

In my experience, password reset tokens are not single use. They are good for both loading the form and submitting the form. They are not invalidated until the form is submitted with the new password.

They are good for 1 password reset, not 1 page load. It's possible to make them good for 1 page load, but most I've encountered are not due to the tradeoffs that would involve (see other discussions).
The scary thing about global warming is that it happens on a timescale that our political institutions aren't equipped to handle, and requires concerted effort by countries that are not equally affected. It's also hard to model and has outcomes that range from "mild disruption" to "Earth turns into Venus".

The precautionary principle suggests that we take it seriously.

Firstly, the tether of a space elevator could be tethered (EDIT: tapered), which reduces the required tensile strength a bit.

Secondly, there are some intermediate space elevator-like constructs that have similar ideas but are much more feasible. For example the skyhook (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyhook_(structure)). Rather than tethering to the ground it would 'hook' into the air at high altitude, and rotate the earth at high but airplane achievable speeds. There are a lot of engineering challenges, but its theoretically possible with existing materials.

Confession: I had to uninstall the app from my iphone because it was eating up too much of my time.

This game has a lot of interesting things to balance - defend my territory vs. expand into new, deciding when to grab territory boldly and when to be conservative, deciding whether another player is vulnerable to be cut off vs. the risk you put yourself into by trying to cut them off.

There's complexity that emerges from a simple ruleset that's more interesting than you'd think.

Also: watching other players to deduce their strategy, skill level,and understanding of the game.

I'm surprised that more players don't expand diagonally, which seems to me to be strategically strong.

I also like how the game requires different things as your territory grows: early stages are about survival, middle stages about growth, later stages involve defense.
Oh, and I noticed that the youtube gamers enjoy it as well.

You can interpret public stances of principle as various ways of making money in the long term, but I do buy that Tim Cook cares about doing the right thing in some areas.

> (An) NCPPR representative asked Mr. Cook to commit right then and there to doing only those things that were profitable.

What ensued was the only time I can recall seeing Tim Cook angry, and he categorically rejected the worldview behind the NCPPR's advocacy. He said that there are many things Apple does because they are right and just, and that a return on investment (ROI) was not the primary consideration on such issues.

"When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind," he said, "I don't consider the bloody ROI." He said that the same thing about environmental issues, worker safety, and other areas where Apple is a leader.

Anecdotal data point of one guy's opinion, with no elaboration on reasons? Convincing. I'm talking about WHY analyzing dynamic languages is fundamentally undecidable in many cases without run time knowledge. Trying to do anything other than heuristics on some of these things is about as decidable as the halting problem. The only argument I've heard against this is you can have a hybrid environment with a REPL so your dead code is live. Ok, but you can do the same thing with static typing too.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through "Pre-suasion". It's a bit of a chore; you can definitely tell the author is an academic. But the content is a treasure trove. I have a feeling I'll be referring to it again and again.
If we were to "just stop growing", it would pretty much collapse the entire civilization on the spot. Unfortunately, the assumption of growth is the basis of not just the economy, but a lot of things in the society.

Sure, I think we should move away from the growth-based economy. But this needs to be a gradual process.
Quoting from reporting on the topic:

> “The issue with these particular devices is that a user cannot feasibly change this password,” Flashpoint’s Zach Wikholm told KrebsOnSecurity. “The password is hardcoded into the firmware, and the tools necessary to disable it are not present. Even worse, the web interface is not aware that these credentials even exist.”

So yeah, this isn't about the customers.

Even if this was just a matter of the user controlled credentials, shipping all products with the same default is a terrible idea.

Blaming the customer here is totally absurd. Your stereotyped expression of contempt is entirely unnecessary.
Parent is just pointing out the BS in hindering tethering based on the amount of data and how well the customers are protected in EU regarding such practices. It's also absurd (perhaps a bit sad) to defend such policies from the point of the customer to your own loss.

This is actually also a decent commentary on US political society right now. e.g. both sides accusing the same outlets of being biased, immediately going to radical / extremist points of view and advocating immediate, border-line violent action against them. Nothing that the overwhelming majority of reasonable human beings can look at and say, "yes, I really think this represents me right now, one or both of you make some valid points."

edit: LMAO at the immediate downvoting that proved my point about not being able to have reasonable discussions in media anymore.

That's been the argument since Windows XP and to a lesser extend Windows 98SE were released. Too much has been added! From my experience the thing I dislike about Windows 10 is how often I find myself using WidnowsKey+X to use it.
I think in an episode largely concerned with revenge and justice it does matter, thematically, that at least one character is very driven to catch the bad guy, right up to the end.
It's also an issue for meds.

There are plenty of generic meds that cost less than $10 with the discount negotiated by the insurance company but cost upwards of $100 if you don't get the discount.

The calculation that "you get nothing with a high deductable plan" is not entirely accurate if you take these into account.

I'm surprised by the state of const/let nowadays.

The well-known good practice: use const by default; use let when it's needed. At the release of ES6, it was the way to go. But everyday I notice libraries—and some really famous— that use let everywhere in their docs, or some really influent developers from Google or Facebook who share samples of code on Twitter using let when it's not needed [1]. I don't know why. Seems like most people now think that const is for declaring constants (in the traditional meaning, like const API_URL) when it's just the normal way to declare variables that don't need to be reassigned (so basically most variables).

Dan Abramov said: "some people say const is ugly" [2]. Well, if it's a matter of appearance...

You say that like the people frowning about curl|sh are the same ones plugging random crap into the internet.

I doubt there's much overlap between the two groups of people.

The amount of witch-hunting that went on against her with NO evidence whatsoever really repulsed me.

This was probably one of the few times in my life where I defended the rights on principle of someone who had no evidence against him/her, and actually turned out to be right (sad reality, usually the accusations tend to be true).

While I can feel smug about it, that whole episode in Reddit's history pretty much killed my respect for the Reddit community. Reddit used to be a place for diverse opinions, and non-hivemindedness. Ellen Pao's skewering showed me that those days are long in the past.
As someone that primarily uses windows, that's not my experience at all.

Windows 7 was great; Windows 8 was a parade of misguided user experience experiments, Windows 8.1 was at best a patch over 8 (I still needed third party extensions to make the experience decent).

Windows 10, I no longer need third party extensions, I no longer need the VMs for Linux that I use to keep around with the WSL. Honestly, I've been pleased on the whole.

We can talk about privacy and the biggest misfeature that has cropped up in Windows 10 (automatic upgrades, especially automatic restarts... which I've since disabled)... but on just day-in-day-out user experience Windows 10 is vastly superior as compared to Windows 8.x.
The need to be able to experience pain to know pleasure isn't about social or cultural relativism, it's a function of how we perceive stimuli. Try putting your hand in hot water for a while, then put your hand in cold water, and repeat the procedure without first putting your hand in hot water. The cold water will feel much colder going from the hot water. Research has also demonstrated that pain that doesn't change in character or intensity is noticed less over time. Our perceptions are not based on some absolute scale but relative to other perceptions.

My argument is that in order for a game or story to be compelling, the outcome must be uncertain, and the possibility of loss or failure must exist. Nobody wants to play a game that is basically "push start to win" and nobody wants to read a story that is basically "a long time ago, in a land far far away, everybody lived happily ever after".

I'm happy to stay out of the personal, you were the one that brought up your depression. I'll leave that track with the suggestion that maybe it is worth entertaining the possibility that your depression isn't the result of some chemical imbalance resulting from a bad draw of the genetic lottery, but rather a product of your beliefs and thought process.

I don't see how I'm "victimising" myself by recognizing that there is both good and bad in the universe, and put on the cosmic scale, the good massively outweighs the bad.

> Earth turns into Venus

Unfortunately I don't remember where I did read it, but I do recall reading a paper rejecting the idea that Earth could follow a runaway green-house effect as on Venus.

I don't know if people seriously see that as a real possibility or not, but at the very least I've never heard any scientist mentioning it seriously.

EDIT: well, apparently it wasn't so hard to find. It's right in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article about runaway greenhouse effect[1]

"For instance, a “runaway greenhouse effect”—analogous to Venus--
appears to have virtually no chance of being induced by anthropogenic activities."[2]

Reddit's algorithm is excellent for curating small self-moderating communities, it's less good for curating large, controversial communities that require a lot of moderation. It is really bad for curating a single front page from multiple different large controversial communities competing against one another for prominence. That's the ultimate reality of it. I think reddit should try to focus on what it does best.
I had a similar experience. Burned the sole of my foot. Twenty minutes talking to a nurse at the hospital - two pain pills and the assurance that it was below the threshold for a third degree burn - and I walked out with a $3000 bill. They eventually knocked it down to $2500 and gave me a no-interest payment plan.

I don't know why this link keeps getting posted. Javascript on Java in server land has been around for some time and I even talked about some other frameworks that do this in a previous duped link https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12760128

I don't mind new libraries but it doesn't even explain how it is different or interesting or if prefers async to sync (I think it is sync).

Hell you can even use Rhino Servlets like 15 years ago. The only thing that is new is Nashhorn but even that isn't that new. It is sad that Javascript is this sticky now.
>>> You don't have to place variable declarations in the header! (they are hoisted)

probably splitting hairs here but imo "hoisting" as in using variables before they are declared is generally a bad practice especially considering that init assignments are not "hoisted".

>>>Arrow functions are very nice for one liners, but will ruin your code if you use them everywhere instead of named functions.

Based on arrow functions' relationship with "this" pretty sure the intent is to primarily use arrow functions instead of anonymous functions especially when passing them around as params. Even with one-liners you have to be wary of what "this" is when dealing with an arrow function inside of an object for example.

> An attacker could repeat the undefined plaintext warning packets of "SSL3_AL_WARNING" during the handshake, which will easily make to consume 100% CPU on the server.

> It is an implementation problem in OpenSSL that OpenSSL would ignore undefined warning, and continue dealing with the remaining data(if exist). So the attacker could pack multiple alerts inside a single record and send a large number of there large records. Then the server will be fallen in a meaningless cycle, and not available to any others.

SSL3 is vulnerable and should be banned in the webserver's configuration. It stopped being supported by major browsers years ago.

The article doesn't say if webservers are vulnerable when they block SSL3 entirely. If so, it's the hell of a critical vulnerability! Otherwise, http://disablessl3.com/
I'd say it's closest to (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER I guess?) White Bear.
Let me ask an even crueler question. Let me preface by saying I am a parent of a child that needed some minor postpartum care in order to survive, so how horrible this sounds is not lost on me:

At what point do we stop holding up infant mortality as the gold standard of medical care? Spending untold resources on keeping alive infants who would otherwise die is inherently dysgenic, and allowing whatever conflagration of genetic anomalies that contribute to the necessity of postpartum care will inevitably lead to higher incidences of these cases in the future, as these genes are allowed to propagate into future generations.

Infant mortality is emotionally devastating, but preventing it will almost certainly increase our society's long-term medical costs.
Reddit's userbase is relatively young. And even young, white, males aren't really feeling the GOP these days, so it's not really unexpected for r/politics to skew a bit left of the nation as a whole.

Of course these things are all relative, as some people (again, probably younger) would consider pro-Clinton and pro-conservative to be the same thing from their perspective.

I think the media is bias in the credibility it gives to many of Trump's claims and proposals. For instance, Facebook CEO stated that articles regarding Trump's proposal for a Muslim ban technically qualify as hate speech and would normally be banned. However, due to the circumstances of the proposal coming from a presidential candidate from a major party, it is allowed.

I generally agree with the author, but as a software developer, I try to stay much less emotionally attached to the end-result. If I have concerns about the long-term stability and viability of a code base, I'll raise my concerns with the project manager or whomever's making the decisions on what to prioritize. But if they don't want to, that's their prerogative. They're higher on the chain of command than I am. I'm certainly not going to lose sleep over it.
