I was just providing an illustrative example, the exact implementation details are irrelevant. Android phones have been used as the central processors for a number of CubeSAT missions so without any circuit design you can get a sub $500 CPU kit which is much faster and cheaper than a $100k RAD CPU (and available at any electronics store unlike single board CPU modules).

Telecom satellites already require tons of specialised integrated circuits because general purpose CPUs are too complex and power hungry for the amount of bandwidth the satellites process. This SpaceX constellation will certainly have custom designed electronics, even if they don't use any rad hardened ICs.

This is something I have tried to weigh the risks of when it comes to use a Gmail account vs my own domain. What is more likely to happen: Google permanently locks me out out of my Gmail account or I forget to renew my domain or have it somehow stolen from me?
Python asyncio through the looking glass
The original Microsoft Natural keyboard saved my career.

Two weeks out of school, I had unendurable pain in both hands. I bought a Natural keyboard, the pain went away immediately, and only comes back when I use a laptop keyboard for coding for more than an hour or two.
Excellent idea, never occurred to me. -1 for snark, +2 for coming to my aid.
This makes me think of a teacher I had in school - he told us we should try to keep our exams to about 600 words. Whereas students in other classes routinely wrote about 2000 words, sometimes 3000.

I first disliked him, because he meant business - my first exam with this teacher was about 1100 words, and he explicitly told me he would have given me a better grade if it had been shorter. (Boy, was I mad!)

But in time, I came to appreciate this attitude, because it forced me to really think about what I wanted to say and how to say it. And I suppose that is what Pascal referred to, as well. Thinking about what you want to say and boiling it down to the essentials takes time.

The upside is that, with a little practice, it helps one to focus and what is essential and strip it as bare as possible.

(As you can see, I have since forgotten that valuable lesson and reverted to my old rambling ways.)
I would use `Get-ChildItem` directly in that case. When I use `ls`, I expect it to be POSIX `ls`.
Thanks for the insight! I may give Rust another shot at some point. Interoperating it with Lua may be fun.
In a large graph you would re-test the same part of the code over and over, because many top level inputs is going to do trigger the same code-path deep down in the graph, which is wasteful.
In a sense they memoize service call answers, so any tested code-path only needs to run once.

If they actually do this across their code they will never have to run "real service calls", because those services are also tested the same way. It's mocking all the way down.

I feel like C++ is moving towards being as useful as a brick. You get a brick and you ask yourself "what can I do with it", and the answer is "everything! absolutely anything!" Then you ask yourself "how?" and the answer is 3000 pages of standards, activities and rules on how to actually use a brick to make truly anything, with 800-page addenums to using boost-brick (i.e. some mortar).
I agree with you in general. My issue with this line of thinking for policy decisions, is that I personally believe relying solely on objective probability theory to associate people with _______, without looking at the larger picture, and then building policies from that, could exacerbate the reason the association is being payed attention to in the first place.

Let's say theoretically, that people who wear red shirts are objectively more likely to commit a crime. Policies are made such that people with red shirts are targeted for extra policing. People with red shirts who are not criminals feel discriminated and overly watched, and because of that, generate a resentment against society and (I admit this is a jump), ultimately end up with a higher disposition towards committing crimes. And then it just goes on ad infinitum.

So in some situations, I would argue that society benefits from ignoring these objective probabilities entirely, if there's evidence that taking action based on them could cause downstream negative consequences.
I didn't start a company but wrote an app I'm very proud of. And that app put me in a position to write a book for O'Reilly. I did lots of the coding and writing at 3 am when my wife was asleep and I was up with one of the kids. Kids are great at forcing you to focus and prioritize, things I was never great at before they arrived. And, kids teach you what's really important and that is a good lesson when running a company.
This is a tech-focused link aggregator. Googles a pretty big player in the tech industry, so it seems natural that at some point there may be many google related articles about.

Meh. Obama is done Jan 20 regardless.
Yeah, I think that's a great idea. What I'm imagining along those lines is an interface for marking up a source text--basically, for easily turning a highlighted portion of the text into a proposition.

I'm currently working on giving every proposition its own page that contains links to all the arguments where the proposition is used as a premise and all the arguments where the proposition is used as a conclusion. Once that's in place, I can work on the functionality for actually highlighting source text and creating propositions from it. The data model behind Sequiturs already features a notion of 'source text', in the form of a Prompt, which consists of a url or some actual text.
It's not like traditional uses become invalid.

Let's not start the funeral quite yet. It can also be argued that this year was a probabilistic outlier: Archie Bunker Conservatism played their last lottery ticket and improbably won.

I full well understand the distinction. And normally, I'd agree with you, however, in this case, I feel his opinions and points are indicative of the larger NYT itself, and even after such a surprise drubbing, they continue to ignore reality with hope of assuaging their feelings-- 'surely it can't be we that are wrong...'

The Times went so far out of their way to torpedo Trump and promote his opponent that Solzberger Jr had to remind everyone that they are dedicated to impartiality (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/13/us/elections/to-our-reader...).

So if you're coasting you're spending fuel to increase your speed (relative to what you'd do by staying in gear). In the situation where you're considering coasting that's probably not a tradeoff you want to be making.

For it to be treason evidence would have to show that Snowden acted on behalf of a foreign power. Espionage requires that Snowden acted as a spy and gave or sold secrets to another party (presumably not a foreign power or adversary). Snowden gave his vetted information to an American journalist and a British journalist. You would have a hard time making either charge actually stick. But I'm certain the US government would ruin his life thoroughly regardless.
I agree with you. If you can't get the job done using mostly that language described in the Brown Book (C++ Annotated Reference Manual by B. Stroustrup and Margaret Ellis), plus a judicious smattering of some newer C++ ranging from C++98..C++03 (at most), you should fucking retire.

The last useful change in C++ was (circa 2006?) making string literals const. That's it.
Trump doesn't seem to treat what he says in tweets as firm commitments, but he did say this back in June:

"All I can say is that if I were President, Snowden would have already been returned to the U.S. (by their fastest jet) and with an apology!"

I'm not sure I would say that the nytimes was hiding how well Trump was doing. Trump did not do well in most polls, Clinton was usually ahead and did win the popular vote. The election results weren't really expected. It would have been nice if the nytimes had been able to see through the bad data, but I think that was more of a problem with the bad data than any political leanings.
Ahem what? That proves nothing. Here's a write-up I did on verifying hardware against subversion.

It's a hard problem. That's why DARPA is throwing tons of money and brains at it right now. Also why a number of defense contractors maintain their own fabs and packaging plants despite the technology aging.
Yeah, but now you swung in the opposite direction. Look at Debian Linux's 2016 code exec vulns and you'll see it's got a like Firefox and Chrome and Drupal and Mercurial... not exactly OS components... whereas the windows 10 vulns are are windows OS components. I'd personally be curious if any of those "debian vulns" would be equally applicable to the same software installed on windows.
You must be a blast at parties.

In your car or phone, no. In General Aviation, it will cost a minimum of a few grand to get an IFR certified unit, plus more for installation, as you aren't legally allowed to install much of anything in your panel on your aircraft unless it is a direct fit, drop in unit. Airplanes are awesome, and the laws are there for a very good reason, but they (can be) crazy expensive!
MS abolished manual testing (STE) positions prior to Windows Vista being released, somewhere around beta 2 or rc1. Vista probably suffered from this but Windows 7 didn't.

Um, yeah. I think that's a fair comparison. And anyone who's had to debug or maintain a large system written in assembly/javascript knows why that's a bad idea.
No, but I'm talking about a situation where you'd be surrounded by people. And what is Twitter if not a giant megaphone?
The ideal is in the attribute, not the object it is attached to. With respect to interfaces, if the problem is that we use gestures that we don't in real life, then the solution is to implement ones that are closer to those in real life; if the problem is that we can't see under our fingers, then we should implement some way to display the blocked information. The critic doesn't have to know how to implement, just that it can/should be implemented.
Being forced to shuttle school-age kids really helps with this. I have to get up and be done with exercise (if I can work it in) by 6:45AM. If not, there's constant pressure after that and the threat of a tardy slip :/
The Photos of the Tesla Model 3 You Haven’t Seen
Not sure if you read it, but the article argues against this exact point. The longer a demographic is a part of the American political process, the more politically diverse (and less predictable) they become. The article gives the remarkably high percentage of latinos who voted for Trump.
Try actually reversing them so you always use the middle finger all the time. It takes a little getting used to, and using someone else's computer (or them using yours) is a pain. But I find it takes just a day or two to see big differences.

Of course, we should obey these instructions for the greater good (of nature, of others etc.) but when you are with the kind who can barely watch out for their own safety and well-being, it's hard to convince them out of their own stupidity.
C++ isn't compatible C, it never was. There's lots of valid C code that isn't valid C++. For instance, this line:

int *new = malloc(sizeof(int));

is valid C but invalid C++ for two different reasons: "new" is a keyword in C++, so you can't use it as an identifier, and C++ doesn't allow implicit casts from void*, while C does.
Same, but it's 85% of the way there for most, everyday searches. For everything else, there's '!g'.
Look, all I said was that modern liberals apply a divisive double-standard to racism (and other forms of bigotry). I am concerned with this thinking in general. I think it is illogical, anti-humanist and divisive. And with you ridiculing people who are against all forms of racism, rather than just a subset, you prove my point.

Managing Successful Teams
You can pay a company to fab a Leon3 or Leon4 for you. Leon3 is GPL with eASIC already supporting it in their Nextreme's. There's also Rocket RISC-V core that was fabbed on a 45nm SOI process. Do it on the same node with anything extra an external, swappable component on the PCB for supplier diversity. Additionally, Cambridge has FreeBSD running on a capability-secure version of 64-bit MIPS on FPGA's. It's called CHERI CPU and CHERIBSD. One might put that processor on an ASIC.

There's been many options but basically little individual, non-profit, or corporate work to make them happen. (shrugs)

> Sharing modes don't help with the STATUS_DELETE_PENDING issue.

Maybe I misunderstood the problem. But I think my reasoning holds regardless? To be clear, it seems you're talking about a situation where an app is trying to delete and re-create a file, and an AV is scanning the file in between, hence a recreation fails.

But with their file system filter drivers, AVs can detect such recreation attempts, so they should be able to handle it properly. So isn't it their fault for not doing so?

> Nor does it let you delete a directory while children are open.

Right, but same as above: there exists functionality to detect this, right? So if it isn't used, whose fault is it?

In my experience end to end tests are often difficult to write tests for. It's been difficult to maintain frameworks that model arbitrary asynchronous end to end tests, the test frameworks often tightly mirror the use cases. I haven't really seen any good tools that allow non-technical testers to write complex end-to-end tests. This is a shameless plug for a project that is hardly more than an idea, but to address this, I am trying to create a flexible end to end test framework that deftly handles asynchronous state transitions and allows non technical people to write tests in a declarative way. It has not even reached functional proof of concept state yet :(

https://github.com/dm03514/async-states-task-engine

The goal is to model end to end tests as state machines and define conditions to trigger transitions. There should be a code based interface allowing for arbitrary transitions using any go library, and a higher level interface, allowing a handful of operations to allow non-technical testers to model end to end tests.

To some extent, I think it comes from necessity.
What would be cool is to paste in actual code e.g. Java and produce a flowchart based on some conventions e.g. convert camel case to sentences.
But you're using it as intended. I'd much rather type "!gi blah" or "!gn blah" than move my hands to the mouse/trackpad to click on the Google Images or News link.
Most of them aren't exploiting software. I like to instead give the dollar amount they put into backdooring, hacking, or tapping major software or networks: $200+ million a year. Still a staggering amount that supports your point. If they doubt, just ask if they think whatever they're using is safe from all the black hats NSA could hire for just 1% of that amount? And for how long?

I migrated away from Google years ago after a similar incident. I use Fastmail for email. It's decent enough. I am happy to pay for services. I still use Google's search, calendar, browser and location services and Google Play for my android devices. I use YouTube frequently as well. I think the big problem are gmail and drive. By not using Gmail and Google Drive you will prevent something as bad as this from hurting you. My calendar isn't that important to me. If I lost my Google account I'd lose my apps and movies. It's not good, but it's not as big a deal as losing access to my email and personal files.

My cloud storage has always been Dropbox, it's always been great.

I backup my cloud storage (and disk storage) with Arq.
Considering that there are ~2 million apps* in both the Play and App stores I would say yes. Also considering for many people in the US their phone is their primary means of accessing the internet it's extremely likely that hundreds of thousands of people (not just devs, business people, designers and community teams as well) rely on the app they work on being in one or both of those stores.

I know a number of people who proudly adopt the label, none of whom had even heard of Richard Spencer before NPR and the like started talking him up. I haven't been able to find anyone who even knows anyone who thinks it's accurate to call Richard Spencer the, or even a, leader of the alt-right.

If anyone can fairly be said to stand in that role, it'd be Milo Yiannopoulos, so I suppose it's not entirely unreasonable that someone at NPR confused his picture for that of Spencer and stuck it on the linked transcript. On the other hand, it's not reasonable to call Yiannopoulos a white supremacist, either, so overall I'm not sure what to make of the piece, except to say that I'd think twice about taking it at face value. There is a great deal of nuance here which NPR has no reason to represent fairly, and every reason not to.
This is absolutely true. It's an observation many of us have had. There are people that are trying to develop startups to make it easier, but the combination is hard.

I think the next successful framework will focus on the entire lifecycle and aim to solve the scaffolding problem.
Excellent news!

Some details, from a Facebook post [0] by a friend of theirs:

Hi Everyone, here's the official update from the parents to put everyone at ease.

From the parents that spoke with both Masha and Aaron:

They were at the sand dunes at Osborne Lookout, left their car there on Sunday (their last wifi signal) and went on a day hike to take pictures. They got lost while out on their hike and could see a red light flashing in the distance so they started walking direction. Spent 5 days walking in the desert without food and little water. In order conserve their water they also drank their own urine. They saw helicopters flying, and actually were able to light a fire to get attention but no one was able to see them.

They walked all the way to the cell tower until they ran into some maintenance workers at the tower who then contacted the Border Patrol. The Border Patrol contacted family and the investigator with LAPD and took them back to their car at Osborne Lookout.

The Border Patrol guided them back out of the park and they are now headed to meet up with family, friends and the rescue team to celebrate.

Just a Note: That tip from Devin Adkins was correct!

i think i might have spoke to her on sunday giving direction to osborn over look where she could take some pics' of the dunes i also posted it up on the Glamis beach store facebook page
