I substituted sugary snacks with fatty snacks. Having some good cheese in your fridge helps a ton - a few slices on some fancy bread is much more satisfying than cookies or candy or cake ever was. I don't end up craving more in 10 minutes time, so my total calorie consumption goes down.

And no, I think substituting one source of sugar for another is just an expensive way of continuing to eat sugar. If you were trying to get an alcoholic to stop drinking, you wouldn't suggest they switch from cheap wine to "just a glass of Bordeaux before bed", although that sounds like a suggestion they might make :-). You'd suggest they find something else to do that fills the social and metabolic hole the alcohol leaves behind. That's what good cheese has done for me.

And yeah, sometimes I do have something sweet, usually in an unavoidable social situation, but it has been getting easier to stop eating sugar after a relapse each time it happens.
If I understand it correctly, the pancreas releases insulin to lower blood sugar, but it can also release insulin when you don't have a need. Like you might experience an insulin spike when thinking about eating a tasty dessert, but are not actually consuming the dessert. An artificial pancreas relies on monitoring actual blood sugar levels. It can also proactively address low blood sugar. The speaker mentioned getting a text when her diabetic son's blood sugar was low, and so she called the son's babysitter with instructions to give the son some crackers. I've never received a text message from my pancreas, or any other organ in my body.
Having lived in that country, no, it was not fine. Queues for basic foodstuff, severely limited access to services, blatant lack of any manfucatured goods, horrendous public infrastructure etc. are not the signs of a "fine" economy. When a world superpower has to carry out a "food programme" to feed the population in the 80s, it kinda speaks for itself.
The problem with a line of reasoning that includes secret evidence we'll never get to see is that it can be used to support any conclusion whatsoever.

Inasmuch as it's a guide for other agencies, they'd be better served by OWASP recommendations. It's not clear what anyone could do with a report like this. I don't see any great takeaways that one could add to the next revision of their STIG. There are no 0-days for an IAVA.

As long as we're going for pure speculation, I think that Kim Dotcom hired Ukranian hackers and I could potentially find weak circumstantial evidence by going through a timeline of his Tweets. I seem to remember that he had foreknowledge of some of the items to be leaked, though that could've been pure BS and I didn't really investigate it at the time. He also has motive based on this administration's treatment of him.

UDP and TCP do not differ just because of reliability, they also differ because TCP is a stream protocol and UDP is not.

By not being designed to handle streams, UDP can sidestep a ton of issues.

So, the adjustable parameters in your protocol should be a lot, methinks.

If we're going to speculate, I'd say Kim Dotcom is more suspicious based on his tweets. I thought he tweeted some statements indicating foreknowledge of certain leaks, but I never investigated it carefully.

I am also intrigued by its Python interface. Haven't explored it much, but this syntax is much more intuitive than things like open scad.
also, I've to add this is an extremely bad question to google (not in general)

"Could you explain the difference between C-style and C++-style arrays"

to solve it with googling you need instead two searches (c array definition and implementation / c++ array definition and implementation) plus considerable brainpower to derive the difference.

what you're asking is thus not a piece of arcane knowledge, but involves a lot of thinking for the answerer.

a good question to ask would be 'where do I find a complete specification of c++ arrays?' - I'd be perfectly happy to sharing resources and even help searching, because it shows you're willing to put in the work to understand yourself instead of relying on someone else to do the differential analysis for you and spoon feed you the results
How so? The absurd thing is that it is news - it should just be common sense that computers are not secure. It shouldn't take a statement by the future US president to convey that message.

Have you ever looked at a computer owned by one of your relatives (someone who is not a computer expert)?
Do you think sanctions are not a casus belli? This is economic warfare, Russia is effectively a land locked county without a warm water port, the US encircles it with troops, has strategic nuclear weapons on its door step and the only bordering region that the US does not directly control is another not especially friendly nuclear super power.

People don't see the chess board and make Russia look like the villain; look at NATO in 1991 and look at it today if Canada would have joined the Warsaw Pact and if Russia was keeping enough nukes in Mexico to kill every living human in the continental United States where do you think we would be now?

All what Russia sees is a military alliance pushed onto their border, a continuous presence of US nukes in Europe, the US never stopping it's strategic air command nuclear bomber flights and then criticizing Russia for resuming them, the EU and the US pushing to bypass Russia's pipelines in the Caspian Sea and the US deploying a missile shield in Europe that would nullify Russia's current strategic arsenal after unilaterally withdrawing from the anti-ABM treaty.
And you say Russia is reckless and is a threat to world peace?
That's curiously right to an extent, you know. Bread had been a symbolic thing for communists from very early days. It's price was heavily subsidised and it was one of the very few food items I actually never remember there being a shortage of. Might have been different in other parts, though. Quite in contrary: bought the cheap bread to feed their animals. One of the many curious perversions of the Soviet economy.
Of the few success stories listed they mention Camden Brewery getting bought for double the amount that online investors put in.. So the online investors got double their money as a payout? If that is the case I don't even know how that count as a success. If investors knew at the time the potential payouts were something like 2:1 they should have stay well clear of that bet.
OpenBSD has a reputation for being more secure than Linux, because OpenBSD's developers put significant effort into security research and secure coding practices. People who expand this to other BSDs are mistaken. FreeBSD is a good general-purpose OS competing in the same space as Linux, and NetBSD will probably run on your toaster.

Well, besides being able to charge your phone from your laptop charger, use the same USB flash drive in your phone and laptop without an adapter, use the same powered noise-cancelling headphones in your laptop and phone, connect your phone to your projector/monitor/TV using the same adapter as the laptop, and so many more.
Eh, I'm not too optimistic about this. Too many millions of routers and middleboxes only support TCP and UDP for this to ever be workable on the public internet. Since layer 4 is traditionally done in the kernel were talking about updating the firmware of countless devices. A better solution is to piggyback on UDP support and add your own protocol in user space.

building a protocol on top of UDP has historically been a good compromise. The base protocol is simple enough that it doesn't add much overhead to just build whatever you want on top of it. The ubiquitous support for UDP leaves little reason to roll your own.

The only bad downside to both UDP and TCP is that support for unsolicited connections is usually completely broken for end users since the 90s because of the vast adoption of NAT.
I wonder if fax would be a good compromise between time and security. Encrypted fax standards exist. I guess the real question is how easy it'd be to shoehorn AES into the T.30 protocol.

RUST: THE TOUGH PART - Learning Rust
When the US does it to other countries it's good, when it happens to the US, it's tampering with democracy. Also, it's not like Russia created the corruption inside the democratic party. If the democrats would have been as innocent as they pretend, then maybe Russia's tampering attempt would have had no effect.

This whole narrative is a distraction from the real issue.
I've not seen any numbers, but I don't think it's far fetched to say that the US probably has ridiculously large budgets for cyber security, military research in computing, cryptography etc. We're not talking about uncle Jim-Bob's computer here.

Having the person that will lead all of that say he'd rather send couriers with hand written notes is horrifying for me. As a computer scientist I feel that this is yet another attack on science and reason. I wonder how you don't feel the same?
I see why it appears that way, but I wasn't trying to suggest that reliability was the only distinction. However, I'm not sure I see such a fundamental distinction between the two that requires these to be two separate protocols. I can imagine parameters like "max wait time allowed before packet is skipped", "max contiguous packets allowed to be skipped", "whether to deliver packets that arrive out of order", stuff like that. Because ultimately TCP is at the extreme of retrying forever until every byte is received in order (or, well, until a timeout happens and we give up), and UDP is at the extreme of not retrying at all. It shouldn't be that bad to interpolate between the two I think?
AFAIK Trump hasn't used Twitter for anything but brief public statements and comments on the current (and usually minor) issues at hand. Basically just gets around editorial slants of news media to address his huge following.

Reasonably enough, so far haven't seen anything suggesting he'd use Twitter or similar when there's something substantial at stake. However the possibility someone could hack in and use his account is a risk he must have considered. As you say it would be a hot target for that sort of mischief. Obviously it could be bad if that happened.

Given the fact that his accounts haven't been hacked into in that way despite the ample exposure over many months, it suggests we could consider it a good sign of taking security seriously.

Could be, but if that were true I would expect we would have seen a lot of publicity about such hacked info. Surely there's been no shortage of interest in finding "dirt" on Trump, his businesses, family, etc. The nasty political situation would be a great incentive for it. The absence of such data suggests decent security is in place.

That makes sense insofar as Trump runs large operations that has to require considerable computing resources to run them. He probably has top-notch people overseeing the data end of management and that would include maintaining security

My pet theory is that Google actually developed chrome as a web crawler and that consumer release was to ensure that Google would always be able to crawl pages (since sites would always want to work properly with chrome)

It also explains why they effectively killed flash and Java applets. They were competing technologies that weren't owned by Google and not crawlable. If they would have taken off, Google's position as top search engine could have been in danger
> Nobody said Russia rigged the election.

Obama and Josh Earnest have not gone as far as using the word "rigged" but they have essentially implied as much. Other large media outlets have done the same and yes, some have used the word "rigged" directly [1] (and if I dug through CNN / MSNBC / ABC reels I am positive I could find many more examples). Lesser known media outlets and internet commentators have been using the word "rigged" profusely, so it's not "nobody".

> Diplomatic sanctions have been the correct response and I don't see anyone asking for an escalation of that.

Hillary Clinton herself is on video calling for an escalation of that in the form of a military response, shortly after some saber-rattling about the US nuclear arsenal [2].

> And please remember why Russia's relations with almost all of the world deteriorated in the first place. It's because they annexed Crimea (unprecedented for our generation)

And you should remember the unprecedented actions that have caused the United States' relations with almost all the world to deteriorate. Claims of influencing foreign elections (c.f. the entire history of the CIA) and widespread hacking (c.f. the NSA essentially pwning the world) are particularly hypocritical.

No, and that's ridiculous. Your rule says, "Please don't bait other users by inviting them to downvote you or proclaim that you expect to get downvoted."

New Year resolutions of a developer – 2017
Neighborhoods in LA vary greatly and depend on what you value. For example, if you want good schools, yard and say house under 700k, and want to commute to Santa Monica. Your best bet is West San Fernando Valley, such as Woodland Hills and parts of Calabasas.

Thousand Oaks would reduce house costs to 400-600k, but add 20-30 mins to an already hour-long drive. Forget public transit.

If you don't need to go to SM/Venice/West LA, then going south might be better. Orange County has a lot to offer and probably a bit cheaper.

If you are ok with Condos/Townhomes, either direction, 2-3 br condo can be had for less than 400k, sometimes less than 300k.

Most condos on the west side are more like 600-900k and above, so the drive can save you 50%, but it really sucks. (Did the drive for 6 years.)

It sounds like you're calculating the likelihood of a human evolving in an instant though? Which doesn't need to happen and isn't presumed to have happened here on earth.

Intelligent life doesn't have to be like us at all, it doesn't even have to use DNA (although intuitively it does feel like it would need some similarly-complex form of reproductive instruction... eventually).

According to evolutionary theory early life on this planet was something far simpler than us (eg. some form of self-replicating molecule - depending on your definition of life) and evolutionary forces (imperfect reproduction leading to variation along with 'survival of the best fit') do the rest of the work. It's vastly unlikely that it would take all the same forks in all the same paths and end up as something like humans (or even like vertebrates - the whole tree of life begun from scratch on another planet would likely be unrecognisable to us) but it seems (again, intuitively) like something akin to what we call intelligence would eventually arise due to the competitive advantages it offers.

It was Quark that lost the game for themselves, mostly. Hubris and bad timing.

Quark was really expensive, didn't support transparency (had to make shadows and overlays in PS and import in as TIFFs), and they totally botched the OSX transition with v5 which was again expensive and buggy.

Adobe releasing Creative Suite which worked on OSX and cost less than the new version of Quark, meant it was a no-brainer considering you still needed photoshop and acrobat anyway.

In its defence, Quark was really snappy - something Indesign has never matched.
