First time there I stayed in a hostel boat in the spree river 10 meters from the Wall.

Nightlife is crazy, and the thech scene is great.

Same. Mine is on generation 22 and is the first one to get past even 30 seconds. So far no sign of stopping.

edit: Gen 22 still going strong @ 1 bird, up to 231,000 points. Looking at game.js it's a fairly simple model, I suspect once you get a bird that makes it past the 1-minute mark it will be able to continue forever.

Anti-Trump protests spreading across U.S
This is a great idea, no legal issues. The important thing is that since the candidate loses 2 hours of his time working on the problem, the employer has to lose something equivalent of that too.

I would be much more willing to do the project if I knew the employer would lose $200. Among other things, this shows that I'm valued.
grsec will sadly slowly become irrelevant, they could have worked with mainline but instead acted like little spoiled children.
It's also using a simple neural network, which is the target of the genetic algorithm, if I understood it right. I haven't seen this combination often - does that make sense in general, or is this just interesting as in playing around with those concepts?
This is outside the US, but I just ask at the first call: please give me a range on your expectations to see if it overlaps with ours and that it makes sense to move forward and avoid wasting time. Everyone answers, most giving a number directly and few counterasking for our range for the position, which of course I disclose at that point.
When it comes to Trump, that could be a good thing.
What an non-constructive, cynical, depressing response. Grsecurity is a good product, components have been added to the kernel without proper attribution, and although Brad can admittedly add drama, how is this different from the drama your post adds? Pot, meet kettle.

They mention the downside of address space randomization - it kills bug repeatability. The effort to reproduce a crash is much higher. The result is bugs closed with "cannot reproduce" comments from developers.

At least they're trying to reduce the attack surface. But the kernel is just too big.

The problem with the copyright lobbyism is that it affects not just Disney but everyone else. Right now nothing will ever reach the public domain through copyright expiration.

It would be okay if copyright law had a short duration like 10 years but a way to extend the copyright term by another 10 years for a flat fee that keeps up with inflation. It doesn't have to be an increasing fee. The point of this fee is to check whether a business can still extract money out of their IP. If they can't then release it to the public domain.

That first tax returns quote is wrong (or the source is wrong). He said he might do it, not that he would do it.

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear - You've had in person arguments with self-proclaimed liberals (strangers, friends, or otherwise) that all resulted in calling you names rather than continuing a civil discussion? And you have additionally not seen self-proclaimed republicans do similar?

I'm making the distinction of in-person discussions only because I do think sweeping negative statements have been made on both sides incessantly for years, but nowhere nearly as toxic or shameless as from the safety of anonymity. If that's the major source of "seeing both sides" for the public majority, seeing venomous Tweets and dismissive Facebook posts, it's no wonder that we're dealing with such a schism of understanding and fundamental respect.
Exactly, I'd say America is more exception than a rule in this regard. This article implies that 5-6 years old walking to school alone is something extraordinary. It's common in my country too, actually, most of the first graders that are dropped off by parents are those who live outside of town and there's no good public transit route.
I agree. I hope that some version of this process is implemented and that it will change government from how it currently operates: adding layers of regulation upon layers, to a process with iteratively improves regulation--weeding out the out-dated, the irrelevant, the imprecise, the ineffective, and replacing it with improved, timely, precise, relevant, effective regulation. So we end up with a regulatory base which is more comprehendible, manageable, and relevant.

Furthermore, in German we have a saying: "Where there is no judge, there's no executioner". Maybe this attitude is more popular in Switzerland than in Germany, but the basic meaning is: don't sweat the legality of small exchanges that (a) don't affect anyone negatively and (b) aren't in some government agency's crosshair. That being said, your mileage in different legal systems may vary - in our civil law system it's probably more common for a judge to simply throw out such trifling matters and people are generally also way less inclined to start a lawsuit.

I disagree with this statement. grsec has been a proving ground for a lot of hardening technologies throughout the years, many of which are just starting to make it upstream through the Linux kernel political process. As long as the team that works on the grsecurity patchsets continues to innovate, it will not become irrelevant; instead, it will continue to be a testbed for things mainline will pick up and re-implement at their discretion.

> A middle-class family will get a 35% tax cut.

I did some back-of-the-envelope calculation to figure how our taxes could change for various income levels for married joint filers. This does not factor in any deductions.

Nobody is getting a 35% tax cut. Tax rate for middle-class families will go down by around 1% only, and taxes will go up for low-income families by 2%. Single tax filers will also see an increase in taxes.

The biggest tax cuts will actually go the highest income earners, tax rate will go down by 6.42% for someone who makes $10 million. Maybe that is what Trump calls the middle-class?

I'd go historian. After spending sometime reading/watching about Marxism, Ancient Greek Philosophers (Epicurus and Socrates) and Confucianism.

History is probably something that will really give you context on a lot of things. Philosophy is great too.
You're missing the incumbent bias. It's well known we prefer the devil we know to the one we don't--even if we objectively have good reason to dislike the incumbent.

Which is to say if, after electing someone to office, we immediately 1) forgot we voted for them, and 2) became completely unaware of their continuing existence and actions in office only then would elections be truly a sufficient substitute for term limits. Otherwise, given the choice, enough votes will be cast to keep the incumbent in office just because he/she is familiar. The thinking seems to go something like: well, that's the name I recognize, and hey, the world hasn't come to an end in the past few years, so... why not. Let's just keep 'em. Versus this other person who might do all kinds of things I can't foresee and may not like.
If by here you mean the US then you should be okay. People with graduate degrees from US schools get a different quota than everyone else. If Trump does follow through on his threats to leave NAFTA that would put an end to TN visas so there may be increased competition for H1Bs.
> "proved it's possible to win an election without any big money"

But he had big money! :)
It varies a lot depending on where you are. In Australia, it's dead easy if the employee has a registered business number (ABN) to be able to contract as a 'sole trader', because they can just give you a tax invoice and declare the income separately when they do their tax return (it's just a separate section on the web form).

But probably only 10-20% of people will have set that up, and for people who don't have an ABN, you have to basically fill out all the forms you would to make them an employee (you need their tax file number, have to submit a form to the tax office, have to get their superannuation details so you can pay them the mandatory 9% additional retirement savings on top of what you pay them, etc.)...

I'm going to introduce a new concept here, the "Dunning-Kruger effect effect": people who talk about the Dunning-Kruger effect usually haven't read or did not understand the Dunning Kruger effect paper and are only putting their ignorance on display [0]. Furthermore they are also ignorant of follow up studies proving that even the original effect was just a statistical artifact [1].

The Dunning-Kruger effect effect is itself an example of Dunning-Kruger effect but given that the Dunning-Kruger effect does not actually exist in general, the Dunning-Kruger effect effect may be the only instance of Dunning-Kruger effect that actually exists.

I concur with the others here. Your skills are NOT the problem, and your accomplishments in software alone are probably way above the average applicant.

Market yourself better! Use buzzwords like "full-stack" instead of "generalist", and don't hesitate to call yourself a software developer (unless you'd rather do management) but emphasize your flexibility, broad experience, and specialist knowledge in other fields.
Sure, it can be. You'd either need to cache the portion without the top bar (so you still need to generate some HTML), or load the same page for everyone, and then do an AJAX request for the top bar, for example. Each has its pros and cons.

Both of these increase complexity though, so they may not have done either.

Seems like most people are inside at home, driving, inside at work, or occasionally inside a store/coffee shop.

With less gravity, and square feet free for the taking you could build large interior spaces well larger than people are used to on earth.

TV/displays are good enough you could build a large underground house and sprinkle around larger "windows" with a view of whatever you want.

FAQ Pages: Friend or Foe?
(I'm on the Mill team :) )

Its good to see classic ISAs moving away from memory protection 'rings' towards arbitrary 'zones', even if retrofitting it e.g. SMEP/SMAP gives horrendous APIs and a nightmare to keep checked and balanced! ;)

The Mill comes at this from the other direction, starting with 'zones' (termed "turfs" in Mill jargon) and emulating 'rings' (if your kernel wants that) with overlapping access rights between turfs.

On the Mill you can have lots of turfs that may or may not have disjoint memory access, and you move between turfs synchronously with a special kind of indirect function call termed a "portal". There are provisions for passing across specific transient rights to memory in these calls, so you can pass a pointer to a buffer and other aspects that facilitate the 'usercopy()' mentioned in the article but with full hardware rather than software protection.

We have tightened the portal/turf concept extensively since the Security talk http://millcomputing.com/docs/#security but it does give a gentle high-level intro to turfs and portals.

These days, we have facilities for passing buffers without exposing memory pointers and other niceties to make it easy to write correct yet efficient code. They can now all be made public but oh so little time, and I'm hoping to get a white paper out about it by the end of this month. Watch this space ;)

Happy to elaborate if anyone has Mill or general questions :)

PS an example of 'zoning' is http://elfbac.org/ , which is not getting enough attention. Its another way facilitate memory separation, albeit by abusing the classic MMU and with inherent runtime cost. Elfbac is userspace, but the hardware could be abused to protect kernels on classic CPUs too. Well worth everyone reading :)
Home Automation System Exposed to DDoS Reveals IoT Risks
If you've done your job properly in the first place you have sufficient testing and redundancy in place that the situation you're referring to is pretty much impossible.

If there's ever going to be a situation where something costs $100k/hour if it's offline then you have 5 test servers and 2 or 3 load-balanced production servers so a failure doesn't take you offline, and you've written procedures and processes to handle critical problems long before they happen.

You definitely don't try to hotfix things while the foreman complains. That will make things worse.

The goal isn't like APIs: to preserve efficacy with a smaller set of tools. The goal is to literally make the government less capable of leading on things like healthcare reform and climate change.

In my opinion, hypocrisy is like cherry-picking data. It exists to validate your potentially false claims or misguide those viewing your results. Sometimes it's intentional and other times it is innocent. Sure, the results of the election shows that perhaps hypocrisy, at least the kind shown about the email servers, wasn't a deciding factor this time; however, should the hypocrisy turn into distinct lies and reveal any intended misguidance, I do hope it regains importance.

At my work we have to do pair programming for some time. For me it seems even worse than being interviewed. To make myself concentrate is very hard.

So I wonder, are there people who can truly enjoy pair programming?
