This is a case where the writer isn't in Brocade's target market or the article just hasn't aged well :)

There are any number of open source router distributions using kernel-based forwarding (e.g. not fast enough for high PPS/limited utility in carrier environments). When it was introduced Vyatta was trying to sell hardware to compete with Cisco branch/ISR routers using the FOSS & make money on hardware+services model. Thing is Cisco ISRs integrate a lot more than routing (to the point of being a branch office in a box) so there wasn't a ton of demand for pricy commodity hardware. Imagestream was another vendor trying to complete on that model that has faded.

Around that time NFV became the new hotness (moving services like NAT, VPN, firewall to VMs so big expensive routers can focus on just moving traffic). Now, kernel-based forwarding routers are glass cannons. They can achieve high data rates with large packet sizes but tend to fall over when exposed to high rates of small packets like you'd find in VoIP or DoS traffic. This limits their usefulness in environments where you need to handle and block a lot of bad traffic. Brocade acquires Vyatta and reworks it to use DPDK (userland forwarding) so it doesn't fall over. They aren't the only one: Juniper has vMX, Alcatel-Lucent has VSR. All router products designed to fit into a pretty specific niche--one where not selling hardware is the niche.
That sounds interesting. Can you explain how to do it?
Is there an answer key with detailed explanations to this?
Ask HN: What to do when visiting a site with a fake security popup alert?
I accidentally ran into a site (formerly safe) recently that showed a popup alert saying "I could have a virus!".

Its too late for me to avoid any malicious code from running on display but to avoid any further (potential) damage I killed my chrome process instead of clicking any close buttons.

I have popup blocker (uBlock) installed on my Mac/Chrome.
Any other advise? Do you think I should scan for viruses?

Sure you can, but that disk won't be bootable in UEFI (it may still be in BIOS). The article is about UEFI booting, with parted he checks the partitioning "style", not the actual formatting.

It all depends on the approach. Instead of saying "do you have any rooms available?" you could just say "I only have $AMOUNT and quite frankly I'd rather stay here than at my old Uncle's place down the road" (or a variation of which indicates 'price does not matter'. [1]

Disclosure: I am somewhat of a paid professional negotiator so techniques like this may not work if not done properly or in every context.

[1] In another business you'd be surprised at how many people simply say 'can you do any better' (which means 'you have the sale') rather even 'wow that's to high... a competitor will do it for $AMOUNT can you match that?' Edit: Emphasis on a convincing use of 'wow!'.
His approach is a bit different as he is shimming 16 bit APIs to their 64-bit equivalent. Wine reimplemented them to run on top of a POSIX environment.

His approach will result in higher fidelity for apps as they are basically running on Win64, just with a 16-bit virtual machine driving it.

Wine apps running on Windows would likely feel non-native as the UI components are reimplemented from scratch.

There's a lot of absurdity in your comment, but I wanted to reply to one thing:

This is untrue, there was a bug that _delayed_ mining of some transactions to z addresses, but not all of them, and it was fixed last week.
Last summer I bought a motorcycle in Duluth, MN and rode it down to Austin, TX (ok, well, to Oklahoma City from where it hitched a ride in a U-Haul, hey it's a road trip and it was a used bike off Craigslist). I was mostly unplugged apart from the maps app (which is not how I plan on doing it next time, next time I plan on having physical maps, maps that can't die on you, move to an irrelevant portion of the trip, or otherwise randomly turn from a navigation device to a screen saver).

"No Vacancy" signs were absolutely welcomed sights. They also just made it all the more visceral. Could I have pulled over, opened an app, and reserved a room online in less time and perhaps at a lower price, absolutely. Then, I could have followed the "map's" directions directly to this place and called it a day. Instead, I had to keep my eyes peeled, take in the city, maybe figure out where the main drag was.

We need to stop pushing efficiency and start making space for discovery. My trip down the middle of our country, that deep red cut of Trump support, I got to see it all. I was a Hillary voter, but, can honestly say I understand a bit of the reasons those states went the way they did. Riding an old motorcycle through the heart of our country, and then using an app to make my hotel reservation, or staying at some cookie cutter hotel instead of the local places I chose, that'd just have been a non-sequitur. I might as well not even have made the trip.

I would have missed the camp grounds, the fellow motorcyclists helping me with engine trouble, the welder that fixed my chassis, finding out that Nebraska is basically one big corn field, the super-hero of a motel clerk that let me sleep at the indoor pool when i showed up at 1am soaked and freezing and there were actually zero rooms left in the small town, the motorcycle club (shout-out to the Amber, OK Outsiders!) that put me up for a very drunk night after electrical issues, and the many other folks I met. But I didn't. It was awesome.

Poor taste implies some sort of intent, doesn't it? Do you think Google should have something in place that would prevent something like this? I'm not sure what that would look like in practice.

In Washington I was able to request to not have a photo on my license which I started doing when they started using a facial database. The license says "NOT VALID FOR IDENTIFICATION" in large red letters, so I can't use it to buy beer. But I can use it to drive a car which is all I really need it for.
I'm curious what impact this will have on other ASF projects, specifically Mesos. A number of the features required for a smaller or medium sized organization to actually use Mesos in production are only available in Mesosphere's DC/OS. And whenever those shortcomings are brought up, the answer is "oh well if you really need authentication beyond htpasswd, you can pay for DCOS."
Like the article hinted at, I hope the ASF tries to do more to work with vendors to help OSS side of projects flourish rather than just be lip service.

A constant litany of complaints about unfair and rigged main stream media by the president elect (his latest tweets about the NYT being an example) has convinced a significant portion of the public that the main stream media cannot be trusted.

With social media the propaganda can now directly be delivered to the base, so control of the main stream media is no longer needed, except maybe to limit the dissemination of unwanted information to the opposition.

For a couple of days I was hopeful that we would witness a more reasonable Trump, but it seems that he seems intent to continue following the fascist playbook. If he follows through on his promise to appoint a special prosecutor for Hillary Clinton, we will know for sure.

If you haven't done so already, I would implore everybody to subscribe to the NYT/WaPo or any other reputable newspaper. I did so today, and I'm not even from the US. Digital subscriptions are only a couple of bucks per month. They could use the support. The USA cannot afford to lose the independent media.

I'm planning on making the move from a macbook to a surfacebook in the near future (I am also an android dev). The main selling point to me is the ability is the tablet / pen functionality while still being my main computing device. I had an iPad pro for awhile, but the OS is still very limited and I ended up just using it as a 1400 pad of paper :\ (returned it after 2 weeks or so). The surface book to me is a perfect combination device for productivity. Windows 10 is not that bad either, I've completely switched back to it on my home desktop (coming from hackintosh) and I'm even considering it on my workstation at work (coming from linux).

WSL (Windows subsystem for linux) isn't quite there yet, but if microsoft stays committed to it I think in another year or two it'll be on par with OSX when it comes to being linux-like.

10 years ago me would never believe I just made these statements and endorsements about windows :P Microsoft has seriously upped their game and I see them being the lead innovator for the next couple years (just look at how awesome the surface studio is).
I very rarely use Windows but one particular client has a VPN that only works in Windows so I recently switched from Kitty to Cygwin and am much happier.

Configured mintty with solarized colors, source code pro font and it's as good as it gets on Windows.

The scope of restrictions in a license don't have to fall only within copyright. Proprietary licenses routinely limit what you can do with or to the software, and don't restrict themselves to derivative works: the license can have "teeth" simply by revoking your copyright license to the original, unmodified software.

If you're thinking, well that still only is effective if your use involves making copies of the software, note that US courts have held that just using software and thereby causing it to be copied into RAM counts as making a copy for the purpose of copyright law (see MAI Systems v. Peak).
If you contributed a reasonable patch to Apache Mesos, implementing a feature like enhanced authentication, and then that patch was reject with such an excuse, that would be a problem.

But Mesosphere choosing not to contribute specific features back is their choice. The long term belief in a healthy community is that enough people will contribute patches that make the project better.

Government control of media could be on the way, Trump stopped speaking to mainstream press in the last few months of his campaign while also hiring Steve Bannon from Breitbart.

Before you get too pleased with how well this aligns with the president-elect, think about how well this lines up with the current president, or any administration in the past few decades.

Monero, even with the addition of RingCT, is vulnerable to transaction graph analysis (intersection attacks) that can de-anonymize users.

Your comment is highly misleading. RingCT solves 4 of the 5 remaining, known, privacy vulnerabilities in Monero ## The last remaining vulnerability has to do with transactions made with very little turnover, i.e. an amount is received and then immediately spent again. The privacy is stronger as the amounts are held in the wallet for longer.

Monero is useable on a magnitude greater scale in 2017, and a full node can be run with small CPU and memory. Zcash on the other hand requires minutes to send anonymouse transactions.

In other words, Zcash provides 100% privacy at the expense of scalability while Monero provides privacy approaching 100 percent as variable with time.

Ask HN: Ideas for making 5Ms dollars over 10 years?
I have a goal to make 5 million dollars over 10 years. I work for a tech company in Seattle and salary is okay. But,given the fact that there are so many double income households and housing prices are increasing in double digits, I think I am below average in terms of net assets.

Joining Google or FB is one way to get a very high compensation. But, given my skills I don't think at my level I would cross $250k. In addition, getting in itself is mountainous task.

I have a few ideas that I can pursue as a side project, but I am not sure if they can be turned into million dollar opportunities.
I see that majority of people I know got rich through real estate. But, I had just graduated in 2008 and didn't have money to buy houses in downturn.

2. What ideas made you so rich?

Since 2006, the synthetic diamond gem industry has made considerable progress, and is now banging out real diamonds at a good clip. Gemesis was the first to mass-market synthetic diamond gemstones. (DeBeers tried intimidating the CEO, a retired U.S. Army general. Intimidation didn't work.) Now other companies are doing it.

Silicon carbide gemstones are available in bulk on Alibaba.[1] So are diamonds.The page for Changsa Chenguang Machinery and Electric Company makes it clear how far down diamonds have come.[2] They have a list of diamond products - diamond plate for cutting tools and wear parts, monocrystalline diamond for wire drawing dies, diamond inserts for well drilling cutters, and diamonds for gemstones. The gems are a sideline from the cutting tool business. Minimum gem order 10 grams, capacity six metric tons of diamonds a year. That's just one small manufacturer.

Most people try very hard, incredibly hard, to hide that they are lonely or don't have friends. Most people would rather admit they're depressed and get some quick pills rather than say "I'm lonely." Saying you're lonely broadcasts that you feel insufficient and unsafe. Because of that, it's much harder to ask for help and therapy, or even admit and accept that you're socially isolated.

I don't think this is a "forever" state as you put it, but I think this is why some people suffer for so long (some researchers call this chronic loneliness [0]), and turn to fantasizing friendships as a way to cope.

I want to believe there's a way out, I'm not certain, but I think therapy and mindfulness could help, and also being around secure/empathetic people. Loneliness is kicked around as the bastard child of psychology and most practitioners will disregard a lonely person as simply depressed.

But taken to an extreme, according to attachment theory, there is a class of people who naturally gravitate to social isolation yet, paradoxically, desire closeness -- they're called avoidant personality types [1]. There is early research (Bowlby, Ainsworth, lots to read online) that trace the development of this behavior to experiences as an infant. I think these types of people could get stuck in their ways through their 30s and 40s.

Boppreh/keyboard:Hook and simulate keyboard events on Windows and Linux
No, because the bottleneck for most games is typically GPU performance, with a side of memory allocation. There is no magic dictating that every game needs deep instruction-level massaging, and many of the interesting bits that do need it can be turned into library code. The stack for a high performance game of 2068 might still be "low level" relative to other applications, but it has as much reason to shift towards a higher average level of abstraction as any other piece of software.

An alternative formulation is that the neoliberal US has long been a fascist state.
