Just another example of the extreme moral ambiguity of the West. We regularly ignore our own standards around giving people a fair trial when it suits the executive of the day or when some stupid condition applies ("race" in this case, geography and citizenship for eg Guantanamo bay). Not to mention "strategic" alliances with dictators down the years that have usually proven to be murderous. It is sad to think that the myth of our moral superiority has never been anything else.

Func fact: it's Americans of German and Italian descent that brought you Trump.

It's the Germans that were either eager or pressured into adopting that ego-fragile "American"-only identity. Even Trump's father said he was of Swedish decent if asked as a businessman.

> If you want to avoid licensing the other versions of your driver under GPLv2, you'd have to carefully avoid copying any code from the main kernel into your translation layer (rewriting any helper functions you end up using), and even then there's the idea of API copyright to contend with.

Isn't the point supposed to be to not have other versions of your driver, so you can use the same one on every platform?
That's a nice computer science project but ultimately irrelevant in the context of kernel mode drivers, for like 99.99% of people who use Linux.

Second line in the article is "Although we’re not actually talking about Google’s Bug Bounty program… instead we’re talking about what appears to be an attempt to exploit people that are searching for it."

It also seems like he kind of rushed off to post the article without a response from Google "This issue was disclosed to Google, but seeing as it is in public search results I thought it best to publish this to make others aware of the issue. "

Kind of ironic that the about page claims he runs "a software engineering consultancy providing leading edge software and security expertise"

No, it's real, just not as real as we like to think. Between "imprison people of Japanese ancestry for the rest of the war, then free them" and "imprison people of Jewish ancestry, then kill them", there is a real moral difference. They are both wrong, but they are not equal.

Well, do you want the work done or not?
I don't think this is a fireable offence but it's not hard to see the logic that leads one to believe that:

- Company sets up a rewards program to incentive financial discipline.

- Employee notices something that could allow them to, as you put it, "extract a significant benefit"

- Employee chooses not to bring this to someone's attention

- Employee proceeds to willfully navigate the benefit system in an unintended manner which causes the company to expend quite a bit more X than expected (where X can be money, or processing time, or paperwork, or benefit credits, or whatever).

Spurious is the key word here in the original post. Reservations they wouldn't have otherwise booked in order to maximize there own personal financial gain. If 0 is intended activity and 10 is outright fraud, that isn't a 10 but it's a hell of lot bigger than 0.
Geographies of gold farming: New research on 3rd party gaming services industry
How do you learn a volume from a single statement? It's a good thing to think about: design up front is a tool for increasing quality. But the whole field of agile design is questioning the universality of that. The "volumes" are filled with all of the little things that tell you what is worth thinking about and what isn't. They contain many more statements on the subject.
What kind of contributions are you looking for?
It was primarily a saner query language for the DOM.
"...intended to detain non-citizens slated for deportation."

Your statement raises two distinct questions:

Q1) Why are these individuals being detained? Are they visitors to the United States, with a valid visa, merely subject to detention by a bigoted law enforcement agency...or are have they broken one or more existing U.S. laws by overstaying their visa or illegally entering the country?

If the former, then yes, it is shameful and should be addressed immediately.

If the latter, then they are being detained as any anyone would be if they had been accused of a crime and considered a flight risk.

Q2) How are they being detained? Are the conditions considered acceptable by third-party organizations such as the ICRC? Are detainees being provided with adequate food, water, shelter, and medical care? Is there an official timetable for the resolution of their detention? Are the reason(s) for their detention documented and available to advocates?

If any of the above questions have a "no" answer, then again it is shameful and should be corrected immediately.

Beyond that, the United States is not conducting itself in a manner inconsistent with most other nations in the world.

As for Trump and the mythical "rounding up" plans: just stop it.

Seriously.

This kind of hysterical fearmongering is just as absurd as Glenn Beck's "Obama's gonna round up conservatives and put them into FEMA camps" bullshit from a couple of years ago. It is just as unsubstantiated, just as inflammatory, and just as likely to be fought tooth and nail by average Americans.

> because Linux has a history of being different for the sake of being different.

Heh.

I get the same feeling about git when I'm working with hg, the Canada[1] of git. For svn, darcs, bzr, and Mercurial, "revert" means to change the working directory to the repo state. Why did git use it to mean creating a new commit that undoes an old commit?

There's no use rallying against the majority software when it doesn't follow the standard. When you're the majority, you just get to make your own standards because you are the standard. BSD being the Canada of Linux, it's a little funny to hear them complaining about things that Linux does.

It's probably related to the reason American banking is so backwards: it wouldn't surprise me if we got showers first, before handheld showerheads were a thing, while Europeans were still taking baths (it's amazing when I travel in Europe how many places still are bath-only!).

That said, I'd rather have a fixed showerhead than a handheld showerhead that I must pick up to use (i.e., some handhelds can be fixed in place): half the fun of a good shower is just standing there in the heat and steam, water running down one's head, not having to do anything. Waving a showerhead over oneself might clean better, but it's too much like work.
Throughout most of the post-Depression decades, even unskilled labor received close to a living wage—that's what the point of a minimum wage is. A (mostly mandatory) high school diploma was about the highest education you really needed to be a productive member of civic society. Once that contract started breaking down and the education arms race began in earnest during and after the Vietnam war, we have seen a modern reversion to Victorian attitudes towards work and unskilled labor especially. People are expected to engage in what amounts to indentured servitude in taking on massive student loans, and castigated for not investing in their own future if declining to engage in this.

There is a subtle genius in setting up an economy in which you promote the idea of a meritocracy, divert economic gains at first to those that jump through educational hoops as a demonstration of merit, and over time set an ever-increasing minimum bar for participation in economic gains, while at the same time pushing the marginalized to take on the cost of education which was formerly borne by society at large as an common good. I've got to hand it to high capital—they took a beating after the Depression era reforms, but they know how to play a long con.

Then they aren't going to get their driver upstream. End of story. Kernel developers have already done this once (Dave hinted at Exynos drivers in the past in his other posts) and it was a large amount of work to un-screw the pooch once all this crap came along.

I know that Linux people really really just want the kernel to take one for the team so they can have GPUs because that's just the goal, and clearly the goal is good and the means don't matter at all and everything else is irrelevant. 100,000 lines of crap code, 200k? 500k? Who cares, it's all in the name of GPUs clearly. It's obviously worth it no matter what.

But the kernel developers do not see it that way, and for good reason -- because once it's in tree, they are all on the hook for it and they all have to deal with the swamp, the added complexity, the maintenance, the un-fucking of this entire HAL, etc etc.

Having worked on a large open source project, I can assure you, it sucks when you have to say "This isn't acceptable and we aren't merging it", even when it's a feature the users want, and one someone worked on for a long time. It is also, almost always, the right thing to do in the long run (and several of those features did come back, in acceptable ways, in our case).
This won't change. They've convinced themselves that it is best to move fast always.
Probably not. It depends on guaranteed in-order packet arrival. In general the Internet very much does not guarantee that, so you would need control over all of the networks involved.

Of course you can always tunnel over TCP (you need to tunnel over something, because you can't route multicast over the Internet either), but that would almost certainly eliminate the performance benefits.
Hoping this is just a one time issue, but in the first tutorial:

>const keys = document.querySelectorAll('.key');

is provided, but it will trigger an error in the console. As far as the video is concerned this is part of the final code. However, if you look at the starter files, there's a final version of the the code and that line has changed to:

>const keys = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.key'));

Which of course works fine. Kind of inconvenient to have to turn to the the source files to learn how to do it right from a video. It may be possible that I just missed a video annotation, which is completely possible given my approach to these kinds of things (code while I watch).

> Suppose a aboriginal guy from the Amazon wakes up naked on a snowy Manhattan street... He could be the best Tapir hunter in the five valleys, but that doesn't count for much if he inevitably either freezes or gets locked in a cell for indecent exposure.

That is true, but it's a different point. The point of the rich man is that, in society, he can use his wealth to get other people to just give him stuff and do things for him. But that power evaporates in contexts where there aren't other people around, or they don't care about money.

The analogy to what you said about the aboriginal guy would also apply to the rich man: the rich man's skills (eg. business) that he might use to actively work at making a living might not apply in a different context.

One of the approaches and the last Tyler, the speaker, introduced in the talk to improve the fat tail distribution of load balancing latency problem was Join-Idle-Queue algorithm[1] that came out of UIUC Extreme Computing Group, Microsoft Research and Azure in 2011.

And according to Tyler's data (fast.ly CDN data since he's the CTO there), it beats all the current load balancing algorithms including Join-Shortest-Queue. Six years later, I wonder:

a) was there any other novel / better algorithms tops JIQ in LB performance?

b) has Microsoft Azure LB uses JIQ internally in their LB offerings?

c) has any open source LB software implement JIQ algorithm on the horizon? (according to Tyler, he found none.)

Can someone with expertise share some lights on these? Thanks.
