FWIW, I always read "file a bug report", when not used to mean "I need more detail" but to mean "talk to the hand" and when spoken by someone working close to a project, as "fuck off", particularly if the person never even bothered to determine whether or not you've used their bug tracker in the past (or even filed a bug already for this specific issue).

When I find someone on a forum with a bug that I haven't heard about, I sit around and talk to them until they either get tired of wanting to talk to me or I get the information I need to fix the problem. The alternative would essentially translate to "I don't actually care about this bug", as that's the only way you are going to get certain classes of bug report. I have shown people at Apple bugs that they were absolutely fascinated by momentarily and then told "File a Radar". I clearly wasn't in a position to do at the moment and which of course I forgot to do it when I got home... they should know this happens, because this assuredly happens to almost every single person they tell that to (and no, "well, we do see a large number of bugs filed" is not evidence against "people you tell to file a bug using your arcane system, particularly if they have to do it days later, probably won't"), and yet even when a potentially rare and real and critical bug is shown to them in person (this was even at an event where the whole point was to work with customers on their issues), their response is easentially "engh, I don't care if this doesn't work unless it affects a ton of people". As someone who works in security, I'm going to assert "do you want vulnerabilities? because this attitude is how you get vulnerabilities": every bug is precious as it is a mistake in your mental model of the software, and who knows how far down the rabbit hole that mistake will take you.

Sure: I realize that the engineer isn't always the best person to do this, and even in my tiny company I had to solve that, but the solution isn't to tell people to "go use the bug tracker", a comment which shunts annoying work learning a new system, one which is all too likely to demoralize them (Apple's Radar is a great example of this), but instead to have someone whose job is to talk to people to follow up with credible bugs: I'd go "hey Xyz, there's a guy on this forum who's complaining about something I hadn't heard of before; can you try to get more details from them?" (where Xyz has changed over the years, but has always been one of the few key positions). I couldn't begin to count the number of times I have debugged an issue with someone on reddit.
> keeping 40% of it for the owner

Depending on the city and state, this could be illegal. I'd encourage you to ask the server if the 40% goes to the kitchen or the owner. If the latter, write a letter or make a call to your labour law enforcement group.
Yes. You simply need to install a mitmproxy cert.

>I'm pretty sure that this is a form of Gambler's Fallacy.

Definitely. In my experience the waitstaff who most vigorously support the tipping culture are the ones who don't keep exact track of their tips and heavily overestimate their average hourly pay. They are also the ones who gamble the most on scratch-offs, keno, etc.
Not only does the employer NOT want to pay that much to their employees, tipping encourages waitstaff to turn tables faster, increasing both the restaurant's bottom line, and the number of tips.
Thank you! Subversion does seem like a great fit. Mercurial seems like it might be easier to use (Facebook uses their own customized version [1]), but we don't need distributed at this time.

It depends on what you were able to negotiate. You might have a guaranteed bonus in your first year, but you might rely on your employer's generosity in future years. In some cases, the bonuses may be based on certain targets, but those targets can become impossible to meet if your employer changes certain aspects of your situation.

Even in the very unlikely event that you have an airtight contract, there are instances where the employer simply will not pay you. Legal action might be the only recourse in this situation. Sometimes you are required to go through arbitration and sometimes you have to sue.
Yes, it's not the same culture.

The USA is very much about what's in it for me? One has to be paid extra, explicitly (apparently), to do one's job well, paid to give good service, paid to be nice (?).

Is it necessary to have a direct tip for doing those things? In a different culture, those are things your salary pays for.
It's important to think of reddit more like a new Usenet. It's a collection of communities, not one monolithic thing. You find the ones you like and discard the rest. Something like HN could theoretically just be a /r/HN (in fact there is a Hackernews subreddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/hackernews/).
Always overtip breakfast waitresses.
>Where??? That image looks unrelated to any men on the Moon.

You didn't ask specifically for star photos from the moon. I sent one from space. Not enough? Or do you think that it's OK, we can get to space, but somehow the moon is out of bounds?

The few missions of men on the moon had limited time and better things to do than try to take multiple exposures (especially with the camera gear of the time) just to make pretty pictures.

>That level of detail would take huge computational power. It takes a lot more than putting bright spots on a fake picture to exactly align said dots and their intensity with our Universe, especially from multiple angles.

Actually, it's really trivial to do so in 3D space, doesn't take much of cpu, and tons of programs offer such "planetarium" functionality, where you can align everything, even moving around in time as you wish.
I don't get why we hold TSA to a higher standard than what they are: security guards.

Security guards don't go trumpeting how many bank robberies they've thwarted, because they simply don't know.

However, they will tell you about all the contraband they've confiscated simply because that's measurable.
Those free markets exist after the government already spent all the R&D money needed to make it a reality. Market-based plans can only happen after the research is done, since companies are really bad at long-term R&D with no clear exit.
That rarely gets enforced. Employers don't want to pay, employees want to enhance their wages by not paying taxes.
Maths....

Seriously how good is your calculus and statistics? Joel Grus book 'Data science from scratch' might be a start.
That's true if you do the conversion after 20 years, but again what exactly are you advocating here that we should support 20 year old binary formats?
Except that's not at all what I said and none of your statements are factually correct. You have no evidence for any of what you just said and ignored evidence that Apple has done more than either company to raise the standards at these factories. They moved production from Foxconn exactly because of these faults.

And I never said they can be as unethical as they like either, so I won't be replying further as you can't make your point without being deceptive and straw-manning.
My take: Economics, economic growth and development.

Having worked in the restaurant industry for over 12 years, started as a bus boy at 15 years old, then waiter, then bartender and finally moved to General Manager of the whole place. I can tell you that tipping is absolutely necessary.

I can say that the article is dead wrong about this. Tipping is the best thing that's ever happened to the US Restourant business. Especially at great establishments with repeat customers.

Here are a few reasons:

1) As an owner of a place there is only one of you, impossible for you to cook and go greet the guests and do everything to make them feel special. Your staff, the waiters the bus boys will feel like owners through tipping. If they do a shitty job they don't get paid, it doesn't get more capitalistic than that. It's the the same thing that motivates employees of startups that have equity.

2) For customers Tipping is not required if they do a shit job you don't have to tip 20%. Leave 10% or less, that's the whole point. You as a consumer have the power. Not the owner or the staff.

3) The math is a bit annoying but most places will put the math in your receipt.

4) The best establishments with repeat customers benefit from tipping the most. The waiters and staff have to treat your guests very well and it is in their best interest to keep high paying, high tipping customers happy and coming back. The waiters will complain and fight with the chef when they do a bad job that's how much they care about things going well. Their livelihood is at steak.

5) Now compare waiters in good establishments that get good tips to folks working at McDonalds. There is no comparison, the waiters are motivated the McDonalds worker gets paid no matter what and makes no tip. No extra effort necessary. For that matter compare them to any worker hat dosent make a tip and doesn't have to hustle.

Anyway, I am a bit too passionate about this but the author is very wrong on this one.

Tipping creates a common goal among the owner and all the staff it is crazy to ever think of getting rid of something that makes your employees work harder and better and is a carrot and a stick that gives the consumer all the power.

The exploits he presented in high profile perl software are very real, irregardless of if you agree with his reasoning on what is broken or not.

So he gave a talk on exploits he found but you call the talk "outright and clear lies", because you disagree with his conclusion that perl is broken?
Bytecode is not a novel idea and I wouldn't expect it to be difficult at all to map the well-known concepts to the particulars of the Emacs implementation.

Documentation of source code is often overrated IMO. Most software isn't difficult to understand if it's at least somewhat well-structured - and when the structure is poor, documentation doesn't help much.

It's usually the application domain that's hard to understand, because that's where global invariants and assumptions live.

(Don't get me wrong: documentation of module boundaries is great, particularly if there are many users of the module, up until you get to APIs, where documentation is essential for a decent experience. Documentation of the innards of software, not so much.)
I'd rather tip than get a bill with service tax included, which is itself taxed by the state authorities. If the service is crap, my tip is going to be zero. What sucks is restaurants that share the tip between employees, which means unmotivated employees get the same amount as the motivated ones. It's also a cultural thing - in Southern Europe there's a strong tipping culture. In Hungary you get a service tax on the bill instead. In Austria they will thank you and look extremely grateful for a tip of even one cent. Optional is good. No tip is fine as well. But don't tell me what to do and especially do not regulate tipping.
> What the Trusted Traveler program does is create two different access paths into the airport: high security and low security

They're both low security. PreCheck just admits that and creates a low-hassle, low-volume lane.
In most cases the service you get is merely a function of how well managed the place is that's it. I believe that it's somewhat unfair to withhold an employee's salary because their management is dysfunctional. Even if they were downright lazy they still work somewhere where they are allowed to be downright lazy.

I say this as someone who has worked for both very dysfunctional management as well as very functional, process oriented management. The difference between how well customers were served was like night and day. Some issues that contributed to the dysfunction was lack of training and lack of feedback.

Also, in many places tips are pooled, every single person I know who was a tipped employee was part of a tip pool, so you probably taking away salary from an amazing server in the process. Sometimes back of the house is tipped out a small percentage as well.

Restaurant service is, above all, a team effort, so basically tipping is super unfair no matter how you slice it.
If you're planning to spend money on make-work, then you might as well make a go at basic income. But in fact there's plenty of real work that could usefully be done instead. Fixing some of that crumbling infrastructure, perhaps?

...this is just grousing. None of us disagree, and nothing we say here will help. sigh
Anyone who has traveled with a baby knows they can easily scan liquids inside the bag (e.g. formula and a gallon of distilled water). There is no need to even put them in a separate plastic bag. Sometimes they do a bomb residue test, however.

I suspect throwing out liquids was a scam to sell you more drinks at higher prices after the checkpoint.
Having been the first 'DevOps' guy to hit the ground in a few startups I have seen interesting deployment and access strategies to databases PHP exec("echo $mysql_query | mysql -uadmin -ppassword"); is probably my favourite.
For a lot of frontend or fullstack teams, the business shouting, get it done, trumps any damage they might take by a compromise. Also often they are just not aware of how insecure the defaults are, I feel like a lot more can be done to provide secure out of the box stacks for 'full stack' developers.
I think that is the point that is trying to be made. If uber "captures" this industry they will become the "masters" it will be difficult to find work outside their network, giving you no choice but to stay.
The restaurant I worked in during the 80's pooled tips, and both the chef and the line/prep cooks shared in the pool. I think even the lowly dishwasher was included, though we all gave him part of our own tips before putting them in the pool.

So do real arrays on real hardware (pagetable trie).

Small arrays are contiguous so memcpy is fast.

For large arrays, if you create a dummy file (or uses a memfd) you can mmap a region, and then copy it by mmaping the same region with the appropriate flags. You can resize (grow) it almost as easily.

They're so much faster than linked lists, that there's no (performance) reason to use linked-lists on real hardware.

I've been very critical of the TSA, but if (since) that's the threat model, that actually highlights the benefit of security theater. As Schneier points out, there are essentially no terrorists. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, and it's arguably better to just let the needle go through than to screw up all the hay.

But if the terrorists are mainly just causing fear instead of harm, doesn't it make sense to counter it by making people feel safer instead of actually making them safer, especially if you practically can't do the latter?

Food for thought...
One spin, one acerbic comment. Damn my luck.
Financial services.

New York State's budget situation is good or bad based on how good or bad bonuses are -- we're talking billions of dollars.
If you want an even better example, try the Istanbul attack:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Atat%C3%BCrk_Airport_atta...

3 Terrorists total. The attack went as follows : 2 terrorists queue up in an Xray machine line, and suddenly start shooting people. One of the terrorists is shot down and a few seconds later he detonated a suicide vest.

What does an airport security line do at that point ? Well, of course it fails open. Security abandoned their posts and none of the security guards responded for minutes to the second attacker in the line walking around and shooting people. He walked right through, got on an escalator and continued shooting people for ~2 minutes. Eventually a security officer (one wandering around by himself, not identified) shot him from a distance, looked up close at the attacker, and ran away (the terrorist exploded shortly after that, I hope the guy made it out). A third terrorist blew himself up in what was essentially a security pre-check line outside the airport.

Any chokepoint, of course, is a terrorist target at an airport. I've been to Istanbul airport. It's big, but not that big. In this attack 45 people died and 230 were wounded. There are plenty of far bigger airports where that number would have been way up. Thankfully I do think security personnel would not just immediately abandon their posts in the US when something like this happens.

That of course means that TSA makes things worse in some ways and provides a target for terrorists unless they avoid making lines. Heh. "Somehow" that doesn't seem to be the conclusion they're drawing from this. In fact I am unaware of any official responses to these attacks.
Nice rule of thumb!
Probably not much cause it'd look like гоогle.com or something else silly. The Cyrillic g character would stand out and most Russians would go to yandex before Google so accidental Russian traffic would be barely worth the effort. The print form of cyrillic that would be used in browsers just doesn't have a character to make the domain worth anything.

The vowels on the other hand look the same. ОO, eе, аa.
> some even asked follow up questions like where I was born

Why? Your ID doesn't have that information.
I just don't get how the TSA manages to be so much worse than other country's border checks. Its like they've made it their mission in life to be as much of a pain as possible.
Even 4-5 minutes is still an eternity if you're in a queue behind 10 cars during the holiday rush, and have to 'fill up' twice to get to your destination. What would be a 20 minute wait for gas becomes an hour, for something that doesn't even give you the same range.
>Historically, symbolic techniques have been very desirable for representing richly structured domains of knowledge, but have had little impact on machine learning because of a lack of generally applicable techniques.

Is this generally true? I mean, "impact" can be measured in different ways, but this paragraph gives impression that symbolic logic was always orthogonal to ML. However, there was clearly much research in that area.

Here is just one example:

http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~shm/Papers/lbml.pdf

Frankly, I don't understand why the field of symbolic AI was so thoroughly abandoned. Contrary to popular belief, it did deliver results - a lot of them. It had a good theoretical foundation and years of practice. It could (with ease) do a lot of neat tricks, like systems explaining why it made certain decisions. Not just that, you could implement those tricks after you implemented core functionality. And most importantly - it was scalable downwards. You could take some ideas from a complex system, put them into a much simpler system on vanilla hardware (i.e. normal application) and still get very interesting and useful results.
Caching isn't great though.

Pagetables are a trie, so it's max log log log time to prepend, append, or concatenate, and usually constant small for two of them (but admittedly: you usually have to pick if you don't know how many arrays you want).
One in a million isn't just a typical statement of probability, it's a colloquialism used to refer to things that never happen in practice. It's highly misleading to use in the context of computers which, due to their natures, have one in a million events occurring constantly.

The comparison is not quite that easy. The old petroleum infrastructure is more centralized.

You can get electricity almost anywhere, adding a charging station to parking places or garages is far easier and safer than hypothetically laying gasoline pipelines everywhere. So there are more opportunities for partial charging when the car is idle.

How often does that happen per year?
The donut shop I buy from put a new card reader system in place (probably to support chip cards). The UI requires you to enter something for a tip before you can proceed. It irritates me so much that I have stopped going as frequently. It's as if my waiter at a restaurant would hover over my table watching what I put on the tip line of the dinner bill. Infuriating dark pattern.

It's not the same as abortion at all. A droid can be given or sold to someone else who wants to let it grow into a sentient being. Fetal or placenta transplants simply doesn't exist. These two scenarios are simply not the same.
There are a number of small businesses who occasionally need LTL freight, a few times a year perhaps. I do believe that market is poorly served and is ripe for disruption. The number of "logistics 2.0" tech-focused startups lately seems to confirm that others share my belief.

For those companies if your vendor doesn't have an existing relationship with a freight broker familiar with things you're in for a huge waste of time and a confusing mess where you feel you're likely being ripped off.

If you could instead spend 5 minutes typing some stuff into Uber and clicking go it wins that market segment every time.

We were this company until we got a bit larger and now have a relationship with a broker. But even now it's a little antiquated.

> That's not something that I want when shipping business critical stuff. "oh sorry, the surge price on the haulage has changed, conference season you know..."

This already happens, as anyone shipping throughout the year will attest to. Rates are a lesser form of airline pricing.

> or "we've dropped that subcontractor, we're sorry your pallet appear to have been lost"

Trivial non-problem that again already exists in the market. This has happened, and it's just as rare as you'd expect it to be.

> They'll do credit and guarantees

Why wouldn't Uber? Considering their performance here in the consumer space I would expect them to be easier to work with here than current brokers who rely on that $200 to feed their kids that week.
