「日本語が知っています」と「日本語が話せます」が違います。

I actually think this is because our opinions differ. I'm running under the assumption that "learning Japanese" involves all aspects, spoken and written. You're running under the assumption that "learning Japanese" involves only being able to speak the language.

You're correct. If someone's only goal is to learn to speak a language - then they don't need the writing system and can use romanizations with little issue. However, when (not if) they decide to learn the writing system they're shooting themselves in the foot and doing themselves a disservice. They may not decide to learn the written form for an entire decade, but if they ever live in a country where they need to use the language on a daily basis - the country isn't going to change all their signs to romanizations of the language just so they can find their way around town.
... and you're not thinking of it like a global conglomerate board member "we've cut weights as much as we can; but we think that we can pack in some filler material or cut weight further if we sell it as 'sugar reduction' - personally I'm going to use the money to buy a second floating palace, my other one doesn't match my third wife's new tiara".

Or, they could sell the product and let people choose how much to eat for themselves? If they want to do something moralistic they could quit promoting baby formula to nursing mothers, or stop buying chocolate from places that use child slaves, or go Fairtrade on cocoa and sugar.

Sounds like you're a programmer too. I wonder if any other professions have this problem.

Believe it or not, I have the opposite perspective. I'd rather spend a whole week debugging something in a gnarly legacy system than architect/build one from scratch. I like being able to say, "it wasn't working before; now it works," and then get on with my life, rather than live with the consequences of a hundred wrong turns. Different strokes, I guess!

Failure is actually the stimuli and it pushes people to succeed more than anything.

A favorite saying of comparatively wealthy (or potentially wealthy) people, where "failure" means something on the order of "not being able to retire very comfortably by 40" or "not being able to make a high salary and do what I love for a living." Rather than "getting evicted", "never having decent health insurance", "being stuck in an $18 an hour job for the rest of my life because I felt too discouraged / stressed out / too scared of being in debt for the rest of my life to finish my college degree".

You know, heavy, real, life-choice-limiting and existence-threatening failure like that.

Seriously, the basic income proposal is a very complex topic, with many tradeoffs involved. You can't just deflate even a partial aspect of it (its effect on innovation, for example) with a cute little pinprick like that.

Peek.com | DevOps Engineer | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | On Site

Do you want to work in a fun, vibrant environment where you're excited to get to work every morning? Are you excited about travel and activities? If so, then you're perfect for Peek! We're revolutionizing the travel space with the peek.com web and mobile apps to help travelers find and book activities that they love, and at the same time building the Peek Pro platform which empowers tour operators to better manage and grow their businesses.

We're looking for a devops engineer as well as a back-end engineer who can help us plan and execute the next phase of our platform's growth. We run a Docker stack on AWS that is managed by Kubernetes; the services themselves are written in Ruby, Elixir, React and Ember.js. We are also moving towards building an event stream architecture, so experience with (or interest in) working with an ELK stack or similar would be great.
If you can roll up your sleeves and also help with technology strategy and planning, then you'd be perfect for either position. You can find out more on our jobs page: http://peek.com/jobs

Enable Linux on Windows 10 in less than 10 minutes
Well, improved access to skilled developers, given the layoffs.
Nice. So this is basically a replacement for SWF (Simple Workflow Service) that allows you to build the decision steps using a GUI/JSON and allows you to execute tasks using either Lambda or the traditional activity pollers. Building a multi-step workflow that handles branching, retries and failure just got a lot easier.

I was hoping they would do something like this, working with SWF has always felt unnecessarily complicated. The Java Flow Framework just felt like an awkward abstraction to me, but this makes a lot more sense.

Combine this with their new AWS Batch service and I think people are going to save countless man hours that would have otherwise been spent working on repetitive, undifferentiated code.

Never tried using a plugin to read my RSS - I feel it would over-complicate most of what I use my RSS reader for.

That is only in 4 items and Linux only appears in a few comments on each of them.

This remark seems more to me like a statement of belief that no one else can do good things other than Linux. That is far from true.
I think parent was talking about more fundamentally though. There were good and bad AV software back in the 1990s too. I think Vess was involved in macro viruses detection back in the 1990s.

> Leap seconds are an ugly hack that were inserted without any thought as to the impact on computer systems.

No. Leap seconds were a rationalization of a prior system that really was ugly for computers. The conversion between TAI and UT(n) that was used before UTC involved table-driven algorithms with multiple rules and microsecond adjustments.

If you thought that six months' notice to add a leap second to /etc/leapsecs.dat is a huge imposition, then you you should try creating a computer system that can cope with rules like "for the next three months, from January the 1st to March the 31st 1964, you must add 0.001296 of a second for each day since 38761 and then add a further 3.240130 seconds".

Ironically, UTC and the leap second system are geared towards the same sort of timekeeping that computers do and away from the civil timekeeping that preceded it: a constant length second that can be measured with oscillators and electronic counters, being the basis for civil time; rather than astronomical calculation.
Clearly - as you note - the individual-tree analysis in (3) [I did not read the others] is not relevant to the point raised by the comment you are addressing. (In turn, that comment/speculation itself is not really relevant to the point above it.)

The above papers seem to be an attempt to answer the question, "Can't we just re-capture the carbon released from deforestation/logging by re-planting small trees in these areas," and the answer seems to be "not on a 1:1 basis".
Is there a family tree anywhere of OpenSolaris/Illumos derived distros and what their userspace utilities 'look' like?

I'm mostly interested as a developer of config management tools where our support tends to look like "shrug, probably acts like solaris". I just want a rosetta stone for those distros, particularly when it comes to packaging and service management.

I'd be nice to know which ones are dead and which ones aren't as well, we're still carrying around definitions for nexentacore that i'm not sure are useful to anyone any more.
I suspect you guys agree. I don't think he is saying there is a big difference in that they are both poor. The difference is that the poor are are being rewarded (transfer payments) while the working poor are being punished (they have to work, but still get fined, and pay taxes).
Unless you're spending $xx,xxx or above monthly with AWS, you're probably better off using Cloudflare for DDOS protection.

Saw this a bit ago, interesting.

First half is a playthrough of a quite finicky and fairly impressive-for-the-system game (though, let's be fair, nearly anything but Pong on the 2600 is impressive in some way).

Second half is an in-depth look at how 2600 coding works. See also: Impressive. Highlights include: A debugger/disassembler that fits all of RAM readably in less than a quarter of the window, the use of pixels as a unit of time, and upside-down graphics as a speed hack.

My wife used to work in the hottest pastrie place in our city. The stuff there was totally amazing. It tasted great but not too sweet and it even felt so "light" that you'd always thing "why not have a second, third or fourth piece?"

When she quit she stole the recipes so that we could make this awesome stuff at home. Besides some really cool secret ingredients the only difference between home recipes and "best cake in town" was that the used AT LEAST twice the amount of sugar, eggs and cream than I've ever seen in any recipe.

Edit: As others mentioned. There seems to be a huge difference between Europe and USA. So these are European recipes. ;)
Microsoft had the biggest market share, and a near monopoly on unskilled users who don't understand the consequences of their actions. Other operating systems didn't have much better security, but they were less attractive to malware authors.

Now the mobile systems are the mass market thing. AV never took off because the sand boxing and app vetting, while not perfect, is more effective than AV ever was.

Though I must say, Microsoft did create a mess with its office macros and handling of file extensions. For a while they were certainly guilty of offering an environment that made it tough for the layman to know the manner in which something would open.
I was exhausted mentally, not physically, from work. Which is why I've been able to maintain that and add in 2 hours (average) gym time each weeknight. Applying the same analysis to work allowed me to better manage those 8 hours a day as well, so my mental exhaustion from that almost entirely stopped.

Though I initially saw an increase in my time sleeping (to about 7 hours) when I started (and now, since I took a break out of laziness). After about 3-4 weeks, my body gets better conditioned to the level of effort and I go back to about 6 hours of sleep a night.

For context, my exercising is: 2x5k/week (~0.5 hour each), 2x1.5 hour BJJ class, 2x1 hour wrestling, 2x1 hour BJJ, 2x1.25 hour soccer games. So roughly 10.5 hours a week. Very physically exhausting to jump back into that full schedule, though I find the fatigue remarkably satisfying (knowing that it's been earned).
Not only is LD_PRELOAD interpreted by code within the process itself (so it can easily be ignored), but also the parent process which forks the sandbox process can (and most probably does) clear all the environment variables.

I believe it's not as easy on Windows for a process to protect itself against DLL injection.
Tomcat: Atari's Lost Vector Arcade Game
First, this is a category error. Browsers are a significant security challenge (probably the most significant, due to the fact that the web is the industry's largest inner platform) because they do lots of things users want. Justin's job protecting Chrome is to take a product millions of people demand, and make it as secure as possible. That's not what antivirus is. The antivirus pitch is "install this thing that nobody wants, and it will keep bad things from happening".

Second: compare the cost of a Chrome exploit to that of an antivirus exploit. A reliable Chrome drive-by is into the six figures. An AV bug is a Sunday project for Tavis Ormandy.
If the spin up time is fast enough then they could do it. Alternatively if it's active enough then there would a stream of requests processed by the same, already loaded, FPGA.
Technologically it didn't flop, nor did Amiga. Inferior technology won in the 90s.
> They de facto reduced the outstanding US debt by several trillion.

How does printing money to buy government bonds reduce the debt?
Windows would never call out a vendor in their ecosystem. It's suicide.

Browsers don't have to play by those rules. I'm basically saying they should come out and say "your av is shit".
Though obviously with better phrasing.

Browsers do have the mandate of system compatibility, but it shouldn't be to the detriment of evolving their product. I guess my strategy would be to find something to patch vs an antivirus vendor with a low install base and put the industry on notice.

Edit: Big honking popup that says "Detected Antivirus software X is modifying our software without permission. This compromises the security of your system and the stability of our software."
There's a big Amazon event (AWS re:Invent) and they are announcing an extraordinary number of new tools. Think an Apple or Google event but one where they announce a new product every 15 minutes. People with many different kinds of jobs are excited for different reasons. It's double-Christmas for people who work extensively with AWS.
Hi - I do a lot of work on Kubernetes on AWS. We definitely have room for improvement - and not just in the glib "there's always room for improvement" way.

But: We don't support ALB yet because we haven't actually found a compelling use-case for it. Ingress on Kubernetes seems to do everything ALB can, but without the limitations. At least that's what we've thought so far, so if you have a use case do open an issue explaining it, and we can look at adding it :-)
"In linux these are managed with device-independent tools, which is much better than the custom methods we have now, and avoids polluting the ifnet with extra information."

"In linux, buffers in the tx queue hold a reference to the socket so completions can be used to notify sockets. Implementing the same mechanism in FreeBSD should be relatively straightforward. "

"We don’t have software TCP segmentation, we have to carry information in the mbufs.
Performance was doubled, without hardware support, by doing segmentation very low in the stack, right before input into driver. (Student project.) Linux calls this approach GSO, pushing large segments through the stack; the hardware can do segmentation if supported, otherwise we do it at the bottom layer. Simplifies TCP code since you can send arbitrarily large segments. "

"Linux has their standard ifnet interface, with a single pointer to the extensions; if the interface does not support them, the system still runs. If it does, have interfaces to configure numbers of queues, numbers of buffers, etc.
All of this is slow-path (configuration) code.
Think we should go for a similar route — ease configuration of 10gig interfaces"

the rest of the stuff in there is just low level optimizations to update the design that was written out in the original FreeBSD book.

I never said that people can't do good things in OSes other than linux. I said that Linux's networking stack has been better than BSD's for ten years, I can cite numerous factual arguments and research papers to support this, along with my extensive experience with linux (my experience with BSD is less, but enough to know it's stack isn't magically better.
