Go is a decent language, with some really good built in protections (great concurrency model), a massive standard library, and a single binary output that's immensely portable (compared to pretty much anything other than C/C++/D, etc).

Those are some of the main reasons... it's great for pushing data with relatively low overhead, and relatively high safety.

Compared to Rust, you could do very similar, but the language is a much larger break from what most are used to.

Compared to Java/C#, you don't have a relatively large runtime to install, not nearly as portable. I really like C# myself, but it's not for all use cases, and the framework need make it a poorer choice for infrastructure tooling. Also the concurrency model is more transparent in go... in C#, for example, you can use pooling techniques, but they take more thought and planning. Java has a history of huge overhead and tooling as well.

Compared to scripted languages, not worth even considering.

It really depends on your needs, but the fact is that Go and Rust are fairly new, but build with specific needs in mind and do most of them better than other options, with better safety and more transparent ease of use. Go tends to be better for networking/communications, and Rust tends to be better with interacting on system internals.

This is from a conscientious observer. I haven't had a good use case for either, but may have one for go coming up, so looking forward to that.

FTA:

> While Google implemented multiple mechanisms, like two-factor-authentication, to prevent hackers from compromising Google accounts, a stolen authorization token bypasses this mechanism and allows hackers the desired access as the user is perceived as already logged in.

The trouble is that auth tokens are generally not tied to a specific device or IP. There aren't really any mechanisms for this in standard OAuth 2.0 flows (if indeed this is what they're using).
Just announced on AWS Reinvent Keynote.

It's nicely packaged their existing products (EC2, VPC, ...). So you can get Digital Ocean like experience on AWS. You can still tune the underlying services.
6% for a US private education loan? How does 9% sound instead?

European and Americans made mistakes during the industrial revolution for sure. However this is not a good excuse for other countries to make the same mistakes.

Also Europe and US had a much smaller population than India during the industrial revolution and we can imagine that the pollution produced during those years was significantly lower than the pollution produce by china and India (hopefully some technology advances made this point wrong); in a finite world this does makes a difference.

Finally I am not sure how well know were the implications of environmental pollution during the industrial revolution; for sure such implications weren't well know as they are today.

Granted it is a complex problem and tradeoffs will be necessary, however claim that the western world did the same is not a good motivation to destroy the environment.
"these companies are not only huge, they control distribution networks"

They're huge precisely because they control distribution networks.
Is this a question? It just seems to link back here for me.
I'm having a hard time understanding why you'd build up a product as a add-on to or heavily reliant on a closed(ish) platform. You're putting yourself at the mercy of a large corporation, that usually doesn't end well.
You don't even need to use Xcode proper to code-sign a Mac app. Just use the codesign command-line utility. I've developed a Mac app using only the command-line tools that come with Xcode (via a build system, of course), not Xcode itself. To submit to the Mac App Store, I use the Application Loader app that comes with Xcode.

Edit: But I do use Xcode to build, run, and submit iOS apps. Never tried to do it any other way for that platform.

Just to make sure I am following your understanding that is based solely on politics:

Because your government said reprocessing was not allowed, there is now an excess of nuclear material. Ergo, reprocessing is a bad technology

Thank you for illustrating my point. The tech is sound. Getting past the fearmongers and actually using it is the problem. We have had some ridiculously safe reactors for decades, we just aren't allowed to build or use them anywhere. We have ways to deal with waste, but we aren't allowed to do it... and then get yelled at for having excess waste.

Seriously. Put your prejudices and patriotism at the door and actually do some research on the subject. Yes, a lot of this hasn't been tested at scale (in large part because politicians and Activists won't let anyone) but they have been researched VERY heavily, tested at varying scales, and are a more viable alternative than anything else right now. But because there is a "nuclear" in the name, it is inherently evil and wrong.
Token binding would solve this by binding OAuth tokens to TLS connections, so they can't be used even if stolen: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jones-oauth-token-binding-...
I want to try a light psychedelic but not sure where to start. Never taken any sort of drugs before, including alcohol. Any suggestions?

I don't see why people in the comments are blaming tech company (Tyler Technologies) for this. There was certainly someone over-seeing procurement and specifications for the government and it was their job to make sure that the product which was procured and delivered was functional and ready to roll-out. This person and their department should be held responsible.
I think for infrastructure tooling, the single binary output is probably a really big thing over Java (and C#), which have a separate, huge runtime that switching versions on a system is problematic for.
Yes, but the point being is that if he wasn't the core maintainer would he still get that same rate?
Does Switzerland count as "core Europe"? Lucerne costs $151M/km, compared to $170/km in Barcelona. Does Paris count as "core Europe"? $230M/km. Bangalore is $164M/km. Berlin is $250M/km.

You explicitly brought up Germany, so how do you plan to wave that one away?

In any case, none of these are remotely in the same league as the US's $1,300M/km (to choose one of the cheaper projects).

If you want to explain why you think the calculations are wrong, do it. So far you've just ignored them.
The Federalist papers were trying to sell the whole Constitution -- including bits like the Electoral College and the unequal representation in both houses of Congress that were sops to the slave stakes at the expense of states like New York -- to the people of New York. Needless to say, it would have been an extremely poor sales technique to advertise that the elements that were designed to advantage themail slave states at the expense of states like New York were designed for that purpose.
This is what confuses me the most. t_d never shows up on my front page because I'm not subscribed there.

Does it need to be legal? $10/mo for usenet and it just gives you what you want, DRM free, often in better quality than other services offer too.

I used to be able to use Netflix alone fairly well, but the fracturing of online services is making me lean more and more on automated piracy tools like Sonarr. If I were going to pay $10/mo to a dozen services I'd go back to cable.
Anybody in such a position that says "never" to anything is either naive or they're protecting their current short-term interests. I'm willing to bet most of them say that for short-term reasons while internally they'll still consider it in the future; there was once a time that HBO would "never" offer a monthly streaming service and here we are today.
FINANCIAL CRIMES Exposes sensitive Stock transfer confidential codes
I used to work in an ad-tech company focused on mobile cpi offers that for several months paid the salaries of everyone involved by injecting malware in cracked apps on several third party app stores (they were making a profit out of it enough to dedicate a team only for this).

They even managed to automate all the process of "selling" cracked apps on third party stores. It is amazing how easy it is to trick broke 13yr old kids into installing stuff on their phones.

I left shortly after i found out about this.
Would be interesting to know if this works, but if the use case is watching films on laptop on plane, rather than tablet on plane, I hope you have a power source.
I completely agree with you on this point. The exploding population esp. that is not well trained is a BIG headache for India, and they are not addressing it the right way.

What you described actually sounds really useful, but probably not for the hobbyist. For people with just hobby projects, yeah, it's probably overkill.

I've created a SaaS product which has a free tier and an unlimited tier. The users seem to like the product and find it useful. At least useful enough to keep creating free accounts instead of upgrading when they reach the free monthly limit.

Aside from creating an "email verification" flow, what kind of techniques do other products use to prevent this kind of abuse?

Why Trump Should Spend Other People’s Money
Fdroid for what I use daily. Firefox Aurora direct from FF which auto updates. HumbleBundle for games because I like funding DRMFree + outside GPlay distribution methods.

I use raccoon to download from GPlay if I need to as a peer stated and know when to update with apktrack from fdroid, but really that's only for Slack since we use it at work. Slack uses Google Push Notifications like most apps, so it doesn't notify me about updates, but I check it periodically enough. I could go the microG route, but I prefer not having to interface with google servers at all if possible.

Edit: Maybe I can either convince my work to use something like Riot.im when it gets mature enough, or use a slack bridge for it and rid myself of this problem.
> That sounds like great news. Your right, it seems to boil down to politics.

I think the problem here in Minnesota is not the professors, but the students, who don't want to take an online course, especially since it does not seem to lead to a reduction in tuition. Several faculty had already integrated MOOCs into their curriculum (staff cuts may have forced their hand), but your customer have to want it. Placement partners also felt they were not necessarily preparing students to the agreed upon level.
Do you actually know which stores they mean? I'd hate for F-Droid to be vilified. F-Droid isn't just a store, it's an Android Repository Browser[1]. It would be a shame if the F-Droid repository was exploited beyond the concessions[2] that they allow.

I very much doubt that. Of course someone might do it for kicks, but not for serious use; GPUs already have a task scheduler built into them, and compute cores don't like branching code - less so if it only needs a couple cores, like a general-purpose OS.

There is little reason to waste them (and compromise efficiency) for Linux or any other OS.
Qubes needs to spend more effort on easy of use. The only way that I found actually worked for using Qubes was to install it as the base OS on an entire machine. Running it in a VM, even just for demonstration, does not work. Furthermore, I even tried collaborating with the EmuLab team to get Quebes installed using bareal metal; however, even that is largely impossible due to both the no outside VM constraint as well as the networking isolation of Qubes.

There is a YouTube video where Qubes is installed on VMWARE, but I was not able to even come close to replicating it.
Neil Hunt a year ago [http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2015/09/the-real-reason-netflix-won...]

“I think it's something that lots of people ask for. We'll see if it's something lots of people will use. Undoubtedly it adds considerable complexity to your life with Amazon Prime – you have to remember that you want to download this thing. It's not going to be instant, you have to have the right storage on your device, you have to manage it, and I'm just not sure people are actually that compelled to do that, and that it's worth providing that level of complexity.”

Part of me wonders how much this was marketing spin to cover a gap they had relative to Amazon Prime and they were in actuality evaluating how to catch up.

This happens far to often. Notorious example is Ballmer saying iPhone will be a flop when teams internally know that Windows Mobile just blew up.
But a lot of what that technology does is reduce the energy cost of doing any particular thing - so naturally, we do more of it because it's cheaper, but for the same energy input we're getting much more.

When calculations had to be done inside human brains, plus paper and abacuses, the cost - in energy - per calculation was huge. Now it's not, the cost is tiny. Even if energy becomes more expensive, you don't lose that advance.

The same technologies we use today would work well with a whole range of energy inputs. Some would be easier than others, but most technological advances are, and have been, genuinely more efficient ways of doing things.
Hmm, that Raccoon thing seems ok but using something like that would be a bit of a sideways move for me. I'd rather move toward 100% libre software and not rely on proprietary software I'll need to hack around to maintain privacy.
Searched a bit more. This family of malware (Ghost Push) was being downloaded from the Play Store...at least in the past.

"Apps infected with this Trojan have been found in Google Play as well as other popular app markets"
Not true.

An important use for DRM in regards to streaming services is to prevent people on shared networks from getting access to the data. For instance, if I was in a college dorm with dorm-wide wifi, and I was watching my de-DRM'd Netflix, anyone on the dorm intranet could snoop my packets and get the data being transmitted to me by Netflix, for free.

That is nigh on impossible to do when the content is encrypted with DRM.
Ah, silly me :) I'm not that familiar with the history of Fortran so I thought maybe some cool Fortran reincarnation (hence II) was released a few years ago.
Completely unrelated. Not comparable.

Thats really good to know, and quite useful. Thanks!
Adrian also stated they were removing affected apps from the Play Store. Many of the more recent vulnerabilities even show up in the Play Store first.

Adrian's constant defense hinges on saying "stick with the Play Store, where we protect you", but the Play Store really isn't much better, it's just that saying it is scares people from looking at competitors' markets.
Fellow poor student checking in. My experience was roughly similar but I also didn't get any real advice from my high school. Basically left to work much of it out on my own.
This is a good point. In a certain sense, all your webmail accounts are already compromised. It's just a question of "by whom"

Exactly. This is why bosses make the big bucks. Developers are just code-machines and they will perform poorly or well entirely dependent on their external environment and culture created by their management.

(Oh, it's a one way thing, you say? Bosses are to blame for failure, but devs get credit for successes? Head I win, tails you lose?)
Kind of.

I have a Google account created with a non-Gmail email address. I only use it for YouTube subscriptions (and I'm in the process of moving that to a basically RSS reader) and Google Play.

I have absolutely nothing work-related on my phone since I know that I can't update the system when a patch is submitted thanks to the shitty Android ecosystem. (And I'm still stuck at v5.0 and can't figure out a safe way to root my phone.)

Oh, and every single point of Google's tracking that I can turn off is turned off (like searches, YouTube history, location history etc).
Do you like (((books)))?

If so, the best source on early Western support for the Bolsheviks is Antony (((Sutton))), from the (((Hoover Institution))). Not a perfect writer but generally trustworthy:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony_C._Sutton

Sutton, by the way, writes (this is true): "There is no
concrete evidence that Jews were involved in the Bolshevik Revolution because they were Jewish."

See also the lives of Raymond Robins and William Boyce Thompson, who I guess don't get much attention from the tinfoil hats on account of not being (((Jews))):

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Robins

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Boyce_Thompson

Robins, really the main American Bolshevik booster, wrote an autobiography of sorts. It's hilariously disingenuous but worth reading anyway, and it's free.

It must be nice living in this world where official truth always === truth. I officially apologize as an Anglo-American for all those sleek smug copies of the Economist we export. Make sure you don't read too many (((books))) tho, it can cause you all kinds of real-life problems!

I have had a number of projects that were absolutely successful from a technical standpoint because of FP methods. No one knew except team members that were unfamiliar with the techniques. While they were not full converts, many "saw the light" and reduced mutation and wrote purer functions after that.

The business itself was oblivious to why the project was successful. Or how we were able to extend it so quickly and retain stability.

Even on that project, 90% of the difficulty was social/political. Just as Java allowed average programmers to write above average code, the same thing can be said of FP.

It may have been the hardware I was running on that helped, it was a Dell workstation. Skylake CPU and all that.
Since when has a company enforcing their TOS been discussion worthy? Their content policy clearly outlines what is considered "Unwelcome Content" and it seems like the majority of the alt-right thread would be classified as "Violent Content" under Reddit's terms.

I think a much more amusing enforcement of such policy would be for Twitter to ban Donald Trump, thereby also banning the @POTUS account for the term of his Presidency for "Abusive Behaviour" on Twitter such as openly harassing the cast of Hamilton.

The malware is still installed and would just capture the new auth tokens. And forcing the user to login would also give the malware an opportunity to capture the actual password.
I appreciate the legal reasons for DRM. My point was just that it keeps being an obstacle for technical innovation, however simple, which is depressing.
Not sure where you got this idea, but reading Butler's speech should make it clear the kind of connotations the word racket had in the 30's.

"During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."

While it might be possible to strengthen the mechanism used to keep sessions, the best fix isn't necessarily on that front. They have root access to the device you're logged in with, so they can do whatever they want with your current sessions. Auth tokens actually limit the damage by being expirable and being insufficient to perform a new login.
That reminds me that I covered the bright blue LED on the bottom bezel of my ViewSonic LCD with electrical tape a couple years ago. I can't believe nobody at ViewSonic thought it would be a bad idea to focus a bright blue LED towards the user of a display.

I just double checked to make sure, no LED control on this monitor :(
Yeah, that was the joke. Reddit can do what it wants, its sort of a cesspool anyways, banning 1 or 2 subreddits won't change it.
I'm not sure what that's supposed to prove. There are only a few big studios, and they all happen to be wrapped up in inertia and paranoia. But that's just how the dice came out, it's not because DRM provides actual value. If they wanted to perform a realistic market assessment we could be DRM-free in a snap.
