Apropos of nothing, the proper anglicized name of the country is The Gambia, which along with The Bahamas, are the only two countries whose official names include "The".

Obviously Reuters knows what they're doing and I'm sure adhere quite strictly to their popular style guide, so I find it interesting that their editors omit the "The". I wonder why.

I'd have said that the best example of a reform in the UK system was the post-war Attlee government that introduced the NHS. However, that required a desire for change that was driven by the "total war" exertions of WW2.

To the last point... at least today, you can usually "fix" an infection by creating a new user, logging in as that new user, and copying over necessary files from the infected, then delete the infected profile.

On the flip side, depending on the infiltration, if it can be used to target other systems, it doesn't matter if it's escalated or not, if it can run.

Crypto 101 – Introductory course on cryptography
I use VirtualBox on Windows in a corporate (domain, forest, wtf?) environment. Sometimes I wonder if some other virtualization product might be better.

So windows is called the host. My guests are Debian Sid (unstable), mostly.

At first, I ran an X server on windows and ran the VMs headless. Performance and convenience turned out to actually be better using Vbox's default mode: an application window which draws the contents of your virtual graphics card/monitor.

With the virtualbox-guest-utils package installed[1], plus xrandr, my Xwindows desktop resizes automatically when I resize the VM application window. It's kinda cool.

Backing up your host is not an excuse to not backup your guests. I have experienced total loss of a VM due to a corrupted "virtual disk" file. (The cause was a hardware problem, a read or write error on the host.) I expect that if the exact same hardware problem had happened to straight GNU/Linux instead of a GNU/Linux with a virtual disk, I would have lost a file or two, not the whole fsking system.

Losing a VM after four years of use is like losing a machine after four years of use, except it's less clear how to perform forensic recovery!

I agree with what others have said about Vbox file sharing being lame. I had to create ~/src (VBOX share) and ~/src-e2 (ext4) because the vbox filesystem is objectively broken by POSIX standards. It reports some capabilities exist, like changing permissions and making symlinks, but when you try to utilize them (as random applications are wont to do), they either fail with a nonsensical error (DISK FULL), or report success but don't make the change. So I created the ~/src-e2 to build projects that depend on features x, y, and z. My ext4 filesystems are also 5-10x faster for ordinary reads and writes.

Of course I also have cygwin, Anaconda, three different windows-native git builds, emacs, etc on the host.

Side note: if M$ really wants to embrace free software, they'd build Outlook for GNU. If not for that killer app, I'd just run Debian on this (16GB, 8-core monster) machine.

Yep, that was it!
The parent is saying that it is in professional games, but that that doesn't mean it requires legislation making cheating in all games explicitly illegal. Penalties in sports are commonly enforced primarily through the organisations running the sport, and only some offenses even involve actual law. If you cause someone financial harm, it's very likely already illegal.

Match-fixing in professional games is clearly fraud, that doesn't mean that letting your friend win because it is his birthday should be prosecutable.

"The integrity of sport is a precious thing that needs protection. You might see an aimbot as the moral equivalent of a patch, but a professional e-sports player might see it as equivalent to a vial of steroids or a credit card skimmer."

I guess it depends on the details. As another commenter stated, it might make sense for professional e-sports. If you are cheating say on a ranked pub, then may be it matters but I wouldn't go as far as indict people on criminal charges. But the way it is stated in the article seems like you can go much further than that and even harm one's private usage of a program. It's like going to jail for playing cards with your buddies in your home but taking a suit out for whatever reason. I hope there are sensible exceptions but this sounds pretty draconian.

I don't disagree with any of that. I'm saying that enforcing fines or imprisonment for criminal employers of illegal immigrants is the only way to fix it.

I live in Florida. Border control routinely rounds up undocumented citrus workers and deports them. Nobody ever punishes the farms that employ them. If they punished the farms, it would change things.

I never see anybody push against those employers. I think it's because those complaining are more aligned with the businesses.
The same is true on mobile.

The software allows resubmissions of stories that didn't get significant attention after enough time has past and there's no longer any hope for them. It does this so that those stories have more than one chance, which is often needed before they catch on. Sorry that it wasn't yours that did! Community members have analyzed the submission data to see if there's any way for submitters to do better than random here and it seems like there isn't.

In small amounts steroids have not been shown to cause harm. They are even prescribed by doctors to people like cancer patients who are in remission to help regrow muscle after they get off chemo.

Of course there are people who abuse them, but then that could be said of pretty much anything. Should we also ban fizzy drinks, doughnuts and grandma's apple pie because of type 2 diabetes?
Yes. There is no law against insider trading, just the SEC and judges thinking it's really bad so we should punish it even if Congress never got around to passing an actual law against it.

See here for one example [0]. The SEC does have rules against it, so it's not entirely on a case-by-case basis [1]. It's just the SEC isn't supposed to write law.

The problem with ++ is not understanding what it does. It's remembering exactly how to use it appropriately in the given context, and never making a mistake. And, the affect is multiplied by C's semantics, specifically, given that off-by-one pointer shenanigans can lead to Very Bad Things. So, tricky to use thing that blows up big when it does blow up.

To make an analogy, I can perfectly understand null and what it does. My objection to null as a language feature is not based on not understanding it and what it does.
> When you use proper opcode caching, you avoid the startup hit.

In a setup with nginx, php-fpm and symfony here is how i understand the whole process.

1. A request hit nginx
2. Nginx parse the request and send it as fastcgi protocol specify to
php-fpm.
3. Php-fpm looks it's pool of php processes if there is none
available, it starts a php process (so some code is run).
4. Php-fpm fill the $_GET,$_POST etc... variable of the running php
and give it a file to execute.
5. The php process check if the file is in opcache load the bytecode
from it otherwise compile the file to bytecode and store it to
opcache.
6. The process run the script and write back to php-fpm who write back to nginx.

So now more on 6. from the point of view of a Symfony app.

1. the app.php will include an autoloader, this mean during the
lifetime of the php process every time a new
\Some\Class\Or\Function\Or\Whatelse is encounter the autoloader
code will be run. To mitigate this composer could generate an
autoload that is an associative array of \ClassName\And\The\Like =>
filename.
2. Then it include the bootstrap.cache.php this file is a
concatenation of the Symfony classes (all or the most used) in
order to reduce autoloader calls.
3. Then it create the kernel the it load more file (from app/cache)
like the service container definition+configuration and the
routing (and maybe more stuff but i don't know).
4. Then it put $_GET,$_POST etc... on it's own abstractions
(HttpFoundation\Request etc...).
5. At this point the bootstraping is done.

And i also want to remind that a class declaration like "class House
{}" is a code, that create a datastruct that has to be run on every
request, this is also what people call bootstraping.

The bootstraping is take seriously enough to have :

1. composer -o (generate the associative array)
2. bootstrap.cache.php
3. the whole app/cache directory of symfony which i find pretty
terrible as comp. sci. point of view (choose a limited language and
build compilers to work around) even if they do a great job at
error reporting.
4. php-fpm pool of thread
5. opcache

Just a reminder, no one on hackernews took Bitcoin as anything more than just an uninteresting scam, and this was as little as 3 years ago. It was a just a big joke.

It was invented in 2008 and it was appearing in conferences around 2011.

But by summer 2013 , there still had not been one article on the front page about bitcoin. I seem to remember comments on here mostly just deriding it if it was ever mentioned. (Please correct me if I am wrong).

I just feel this is important to share, not even HN knows what a hot technology is, even if it has been in the same room for years. It is interesting and sometimes I wonder what other emergent tech is on the scene which many know little about.

I agree with you. As a "tech lead" myself, I find my biggest jobs are fostering communication between team members and clearing roadblocks. Those roadblocks could be making a design decision, clearing up requirements, getting support from external teams, etc. When every team member is responsible for clearing their own obstacles you find a lot less work gets done and often times the same problem gets solved multiple times by multiple team members.

A way of using nuclear power to directly generate electricity, without going through a thermal cycle first. Similar to how photovoltaics work: instead of capturing heat from sunlight and going through a Carnot cycle engine to generate electricity, PV directly converts photons to electricity. Something like this with nuclear power would be revolutionary I think.

While I would of course be very happy if a workable fusion system ever becomes practical I think there is almost no chance of it happening in my lifetime. Every time there is some positive news like this going back 50 years it turns out that we are still "20 years away".

I assume you're talking about a large 3d game? Are you using Unity3D? Because if you are, then building game assets involves scripting the Unity3D client itself, which is a huge pain in the ass.

As for the git problem, why not use svn or perforce for the game assets? They handle binaries much better than git does.

Cheat making isn't a some hobbyist in a basement. Cheat sellers make tens of millions of dollars per year. It's a big business. And one that actively harms another business (the game). For all players. Even non-professionals.
It could be the case. But in order to find out, the best way would be to correlate both conditions with medical reports of a large number of patients.

5 years ago, I would have thought that ITER is a step in the right direction.

After studying alternative physical model and looking into more logical sun models that explain more while require less assumptions, I came to the conclusion that ITER is the wrong way to go. Dense Plasma Focus is way more promising for hot fusion direction while still not optimal.

The correct answer is probably to allow car deliveries/parking at certain times of the day (late evening and early morning?) and have the streets be pedestrian/biker only outside of those hours.
I didn't see anything in the article about punishing players - it's the people coding cheat software they're going after. I don't know how that's going to work, given the Internet is international, but anyway, that seems to be the idea.
Actually I know nothing about the specific Singapore train system, but the basics are "trans-national" and "well established", a metro is an extremely complex structure to manage, but the principles are well established on the experiences of early railways.

You have to manage a time table, the personnel and the maintenance of both the rails (and station and power lines, etc. i.e. the "static" parts of the infrastructure) and of the "moving" parts (the trains).

In order to do so you have "allocation" tables, usually made in advance two or four weeks at least, stating "who" (personnel) and "what" (train) are "where".

These "programs" are monitored and changes to it (think of people not showing up at work, a train having a malfunction, etc.) modified to allow for these impredictable events.

So at the end of the day (each day) you had a printed piece of paper with modifications - if any - scribbled on it.

Nowadays the same thing is done on computers, possibly in a much more detailed way, but the basic data "which train was in service on which line at what time" has been available on paper since day one (or two) of any railway in the world.

While I can (barely) understand how these basic data for the 5th of November was not available on the 5th night, there is no real reason why data since August and until - say - the 4th of november was not available.

As said, the data analysis carried on the data provided by SMRT has been carried on in a clever way, as finding the culprit from that set of data would have not been at all easy through other simpler analysis methods, but somehow SMRT (and LTA) provided the "wrong" set of data.

That isn't what managing by consensus means. In the real world bad eggs don't "run rampant", they are reined in by peer pressure, and poor developers very often recognize that they are poor developers (except when they are designated as leaders, in which case they usually do 'run rampant').
