Microcontrollers aren't moving towards application level processors like the Raspberry Pi uses, they're moving towards low power ARM cores like the Cortex M0/M3/M4.

It's not clear to me why you'd choose an AVR for a new product unless you really, really needed a specific feature. Current generation ARM Cortex M0 devices are available at a similar cost and with significant performance gains, with the benefit that if you realise you need a more powerful core you can scale up to hundreds of MHz with effectively the same code base.
If it's a business requirement, they should hire engineers and contribute. Expecting free support seems unreasonable. There's a high cost for supporting and maintaining features, so somebody ends up having to pay for it.
It is the same in the US. In fact, that's how fantasy sports sites can operate legally in the US.
Well, that's not quite how I think of these constructs.

To me, imperative programming defines a series of steps for the computer to execute. Declarative programming describes the state of the world through a series of assertions.

Functional programming, OTOH, focuses on eliminating side effects – i.e., not altering global state.

The fact that it doesn't occur to people to build safe abstractions in C to deal with things like buffer overflows still shocks me. C is fairly low level by todays standards. You 100% have to build abstractions using the standard library and then use those abstractions, rather than just using standard library functions everywhere.

This isn't an argument against safer languages, or higher level languages, or languages with built in bounds checking or anything else. This is more an argument against programming in a "close to the metal" language like C so thoughtlessly that buffer overflows are actually a serious issue.

Maybe you just need a pedantic mind. When first learning C, as soon as I figured out that writing "char buffer[BUFFER_LEN];" could cause your program to crash, I immediately set out to write a safe dynamic array implementation I could push chars onto it and I didn't have to worry. And I am by no means an expert C programmer.

LLVM is generally usable on sparc, although a significant amount of optimisation work still needs to be done, and there are some specific variants/platforms that sparc is used by that need better support.
You would need to buy past versions of the software I think. I don't know how that works -- I just use my parent's copy every year. You get like 3 licenses whenever you buy the software, so if you know someone else who needs to file maybe you can share ;)

But I think you'll have to print them out and mail them in manually, rather than electronic filing. But I haven't tried myself so I'm not sure.

(Edit: To be clear, the tax software is versioned by tax year. So, "Turbotax 2016" is what I will use this year. So you'd have to buy Turbotax 2015, 2014, and 2013 presumably.)
Ticketmaster is now part of LiveNation entertainment. LiveNation "owns, leases, operates, has booking rights for and/or equity interests in a large number of U.S. entertainment venues"

If a large band is going on tour they're going to have to go through LiveNation/TM at a number of stops to use the premier venues.

A small startup can take on ticketing (and many do). But taking on the the venue infrastructure is no small undertaking.
I'm lucky i'm into underground music where tickets are usually sold on wanttickets or i can message the promoter and directly buy tickets from them. Hate it when i have to use ticketmaster.
similar stuff happens in my local library I'm sure. They have a detector at the door, to count the patrons entering and leaving. I've seen the librarians walk in and out a few times every half hour to boost the numbers.
This site is in Honduras, not the Amazon.
The timer is/was the worst, I once decided not to buy tickets for an event because the timer wasn't giving me enough time to fill out my CC info and I didn't want to bother rushing or filling out some kind of user profile w/saved card to fit their awful UX.
I mean "new" as in "newly practically accessible." CAVE wasn't exactly accessible to your average hacker hobbyist but anyone with a gaming computer and $800 has access to VR - and going forward, anyone with a solid GPU and $400 will have access, and so on. The 3D TV comparison is accurate in that both things require you to have something inconvenient on your head, but I'm pretty surprised if you genuinely find the Oculus Rift to "get uncomfortable very quickly." And, remember the devices currently on the market are akin to consumer-ready dev kits - particularly the Vive. They are MADE for early adopters who are prepared to be inconvenienced.

Just like with CAVE 25 years ago, there's a lot of ongoing research efforts to use VR in areas outside gaming - such as replicating experiences over and over that can't dependably be replicated in real life, or leveraging VR as an HCI tool in existing applications. To refer to AR, Boeing has already used a hologram device for aircraft electrical assembly for years. Educationally, VR has serious potential in fields like medical instruction and training.

I agree, gaming and porn will and are driving adoption of VR to the wide consumer market, but its actual applications go way beyond a litmus test of "well the games still aren't fun enough."
Coming from the HFT side, I find C++ surpasses C in a lot of ways for optimization work. Mainly you can use integer template arguments and generic functions to abstract all the boilerplate in a way that is more safe than C macros.

For a semi-contrived example, instead of writing a do4Things() and do8Things() to unwind some loops, I can write template<int> doThings() where the int argument is the bound on the loop.

And having things like a universal template<typename Whatever> toString() that operates on enum classes is nice.

The downside is that it's horribly easy to invoke allocations and copy constructors by forgetting an ampersand somewhere, and the std library isn't well suited to avoiding that behavior either. You have to be vigilant on your timings and occasionally callgrind the whole thing.

The other downside is that your colleagues are more likely to "knit a castle" with ridiculous class hierarchies or over-generalization. ( https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy )
> "In any case the market drives the show prices for the most part"

I completely disagree. Maybe for the ticket face value that may be true but look at the provided example:

$18.50 face value for a ticket (driven by the market/demand)

+ $1.50 "facility charge"
+ $4.50 "service fee"
+ $4.00 "order processing fee"
+ $2.25 "shipping"

so no you're paying $18.50 for the ticket plus $12.25 in fees just in order to get your ticket. That's 66% of the face value of the ticket in fees alone (assuming you don't get tricked into the $8 "protection" which would bring the fees to 109% of face value of the tickets)

Want to get 2 tickets? You'd think that you'd only have to pay the fees once since it is all processed together but nope, now the fees all double.

There are no alternative ticketing options short of going to the venue and getting tickets in person, so there is not really any competition, so I'm not sure how you can say the market drives the prices when the prices are set by a company that has no competition (and the lack of competition is due to exclusive deals, not really anything else)

I don't know what is the thing with startups and containers :-)

There were the very same kind of guys proposing the aquaponic version of a farm container for 20k€. I made a 2-minute napkin calculation, keeping the ridiculously high advertised yield for the whole duration, assuming no other starting cost (which is not true), assuming not any running cost (which is of course far from true), assuming not incident at all, assuming no opportunity cost, assuming a relatively high equivalent price of the vegetables.

So with all those positive assumptions, it would take 13 years to just break even. If you factor in that not everything is going to be so perfect and that, perfect or not, there are needed running costs, you can easily push that date back to, I don't know, 20 or 30 years.

All this point, your original installation isn't worth a penny any more and you can re-new it.

You haven't saved a penny. And what you have been eating for 20 years: indoor off-ground vegetables that taste no better than the industrially produced vegetables.

I don't disagree with anything you wrote here. The "mind body connection" makes the line between physical and psychological issues hard to draw. I think the addiction framework is extremely apt.

But the point is that there is evidence that suggests certain factors cause you to eat more, but there is not really evidence to suggest that similar people do significantly different things with similar caloric loads and that it's just a matter of tweaking biology to make people process the same caloric load differently.

The problem with this study is that it's suggesting inflammation as a cause to obesity, but we know that the only long term cause for obesity is caloric surplus. Inflammation definitionally is not causing caloric surplus (in fact it's using more calories than one otherwise would) so it doesn't seem like a useful thing to be studying, and the fat gains from it don't immediately appear to be permanent. The most important thing to study is why people eat more than they should, not necessarily what happens in the body after they eat it (though, again, I agree with your larger point that those two could be connected).

I just started going down this road, too, and it's blowing my mind how nice it is to basically stay in Emacs all day. I took a little bit of scheme once upon a time, so lisp isn't completely new to me, but there's so much I don't know and so much more I could be doing. I didn't go Spacemacs in favor of my own config driven largely by org-mode, but I find myself wanting to go out and actively learn lisp to make it even more my own.
There's a huge difference between various carbs. In the 90s both Japan and developing countries in east Asia had absolutely massive rice intakes and extremely low rates of obesity, and high longevity.

According to studies I've read, many people got 1/2 to 2/3 of their total calories just from rice. You can't do that with sugar and lead the world in longevity rates.
and why are the books being purged ? Because there's not enough space to store all of them.

why is there not enough space ? because books take up a lot of space for the amount of information they contain.

why do they take up so much space ? because they cannot be digitized.

why can't they be digitized ? because of archaic IP law.
Serious question, what's the incentive for the current vendors to do this? I feel that given how nascent the space is, everyone is rushing to try to be the next iPod/iTunes store combo, and you don't get that by sharing.
While Intel does not have so much competition on desktop which is stuck to x86, I would assume they would get some pressure on the server side if they really stopped trying.

I wouldn't say that NYC is uniformly perfect for biking throughout the year. The summer is very hot and humid, effectively requiring you to shower before going to work. The winter is cold, and the roads and frequently covered in snow and/or ice.

Both of these problems can be worked around, but they are daunting for anyone who's not already fairly dedicated; a newbie isn't going to ride to his law office in 95 degree weather, or through slush.

(And that's just the weather; I'm not taking into account the crappy car traffic through most of Manhattan, or the huge valley around 125th street, or the fact that going across the Brooklyn Bridge is incredibly annoying whenever pedestrians are present, etc.)
>As for software jobs in the domain of math/physics/etc., they're out there, but just harder to seek out.

I'm well aware of that. However, my experience is the working conditions are poor. Some do have a higher salary, but everything else seemed worse.

Also, not entirely related, but it does suck more when you're working on a very challenging problem, and can't fully crack it on the company's desired schedule. You get negative feedback with veiled threats about losing your job. When you're in that situation, and realize that you can get a much easier job with similar pay, you have to ask yourself whether the risk of working a "science" job is worth the rewards.

It was all fun in grad school, where the deadlines were much looser and you're not worrying about saving for family, retirement, etc. But it really sucks if your livelihood is at stake merely because you wanted the thrill of working on a more challenging problem.
No, my understanding was in order to inspect network traffic for malware, it's essentially doing a man-in-the-middle using its own certificates.

But they aren't landing patches on "stable", but on the upstream development branch (i.e. mozilla-inbound/central). Since it seems more reasonable to view tor browser as a release branch of firefox than as a development branch, it seems like they are using "uplift" in the opposite sense to the normal Mozilla usage i.e. they are taking a patch from a product branch and moving it to a development branch. In that context "upstream" might indeed be a less confusing choice of words.

On the other hand I think it's clear what they actually mean here, so probably not worth worry about too much.
I was kind of hoping they would sneak in AVX-512 finally. It was supposed to be on some earlier chips (Haswell? Skylake?) but hasn't been discussed since for these consumer chips. Wonder why? Seems like one avenue for performance improvements.

This is literally the only thing I can think of that "NTPsec" can do that would result in the project having any relevance. I understand why some very specific sites are chained to the ntpd codebase, but the vast, overwhelming majority of the ntpd deployed base not only isn't tied to ntpd, but also doesn't need 99% of what ntpd does. Trying to "secure" that codebase always seemed to me like a very silly windmill to tilt at.

IMO language should be designed to be more effective, simpler or powerful, not to avoid programers to miss use them. All the "rules" about not using goto for example are legitimate but people forget that sometimes using goto could be a good practice in some languages.

I don't understand how these antivirus vendors are still in business. Even when they do have marginally better detection rates than the built in solution, the licensing, annoying popups, system slowdown, and security-defeating 'features' make them a losing proposition.

Pre-bundled and even purchased AV is so dramatically deleterious to PC performance that MS should kill it as public service. It gives the entire ecosystem a bad reputation and nowadays is completely unnecessary.

That's why I love "Black Mirror". They tackled the risk of class breaks in the episode called "Hated in the Nation" (season 3, episode 6) and they did it in such a way that everyone can understand the problem, not just us computer geeks.
pkexec is still SUID, though. If it asked polkitd to actually execute the process, then it would work. (Something like systemd-run, which backed by polkit, is closer, except it's not set up for interactive commands. You need to proxy I/O as well as the terminal state and terminal-generated signals - and SSH already does all of that.)

Polkit, incidentally, is another good reason to avoid all SUID binaries on your system; see CVE-2011-1485 and then CVE-2013-4288 and friends, which are all race conditions involving tricking polkit into thinking that you're root by execing a SUID binary right before it checks who you are. http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2013/q3/624

This is indisputably a security bug in polkit, but the fact that it's so non-obvious how to do the right thing (and whether the right thing is even possible) is a good reason not to tempt fate by having SUID binaries around. It's not going to be the only system that's vulnerable to this.

"We don't know that he's lying, but do we know that he isn't lying?"

I have a long memory. You used to have to go to a physical location and wait in line while a student worker called up tickets on a green screen terminal. And TM's web checkout experience through the late 90s and last decade was AWFUL; none of the mapping, seat selection was there. You'd just sit there and refresh. You could also accidentally purchase two tickets by hitting Back. It was Not Good.

First, a venue that isn't charging a fee is a rare exception and I have two shoeboxes full of paper tickets that prove this. I'm going to draw a line and say that Real Venues charge fees. The fact that there are >0 outliers is still an outlier.

TicketMaster was acquired by LiveNation but functions as a separate business unit in all of the ways that serve their interests. So, of course they are collecting fees on behalf of venues. Just because they are all owned by the same corporate interests doesn't make this less true. Do you know that there are IT depts in major banks that charge other depts for installing network jacks?

Different venues and different countries have different fees attached to pickup methods. Here in Canada, I can get a ticket by email/SMS that shows up as a QR code that I don't have to pay extra for. The order processing fee (total bullshit) is in a separate category from ticket retrieval fees.

Anyhow, you're welcome to your opinion about whether TicketMaster exists to absorb hate or not. It doesn't make you any more correct, but if it makes you happier then I absolutely agree to whatever it is that you said next. Ticketmaster is awful, but not for the motivations that the OP suggested.
