pg's "theology" is a strawman.

Theology is nothing but a study of the implications of the historical events concerning Jesus of Nazareth, those events themselves being subject to the historical method.

Either I am missing something, or pg is essentially implying some or all of the following:

1. The person of Jesus Christ did not exist in history.

2. There is insufficient information concerning him.

3. Studying the historical person of Jesus Christ according to the historical method is akin to, or of similar value to, the study of alchemy, i.e. a waste of time.

I seriously doubt whether any historian interested in ancient history would make such claims.

It's pretty ignorant and reckless coming from pg.

We build a web application for companies to keep track of their CO2 Emissions and some other key performance indicators and assessments. Yesterday our boss called one of my colleagues and said:

"A customer of ours suggested that we use blockchains to improve the security of our application. What do you guys think?"

It is probably the equivalent of saying you use scrum and are oh so very agile. "We use blockchains for added security". What this would look like is then left up to the imagination of the person confronted with this phrase.

10 questions to ask your clients while getting software test automation project
Throughout eta-lang.org we use a custom syntax highlighter we developed for CodeMirror (used in the playground) and Pygments for the static code examples throughout the docs. We will translate these to other platforms like Emacs, Vim, Eclipse, IntelliJ, etc. once IDE support is better.
Yes, that's a sad prospect. However, at that point I assume there'll also be no countries to host content in either so VPN would be useless in any case.

I assume at the point Tor's popularity will surge.
I have a client who are planning to outsource software test automation works to my company. They are completely working on Microsoft technologies. Today I am going to meet them for the first time. Can you give me list of 10 basic technical questions you will ask if you were at my place to your client? These questions should help me understand their requirements with better clarity from the BA prospective. Also, I will be giving inputs to my tech lead based on the first meeting.
This is in .fi, I've got an unlimited LTE plan and it's way faster than the ADSL here.

If I messed with my antenna setup a bit I could maybe get the speeds closer to 600mbit than the current ~100.

If it worked as well abroad that'd be amazing, but I'm sure the carriers will come up with some schemes to prevent that.

Interesting and much more accurate/informative than my own posts. Thanks.
1. You must reframe the situation as quick as possible. Don't think, 'shit, why me, what happened, am I not good enough?' Such thoughts bring you a vicious cycle. You must treat this situation as the best thing ever happened, you must be happy about it. And I promise you, heck I bet $10,000 that you'll tell us in one year that this lay-off was the best thing ever happened and led you to x, y and z. So, basically it's not reframing or lying to yourself—no, what happened was really the BEST what could have happened (so, I just did the reframing for you). Change is always good and rarely gets triggered by oneself.

2. Reach out to as many people as possible, preferably people outside the company. Most people from the company won't help you and even if they did, they just remind you of the company again, what happened and this brings you again to a bad state and you need to start at zero and reframe again. Just let them go, all of them, really. So, look for prior peers, old friends. Further, write applications or just plain emails to many CEOs and tell them that you are out. You don't have to write that you look for a job. Just get into conversations with as many people as possible. It's more about staying connected and keeping a social context (after you lost the one of the company) than finding the next job.

3. Work on a pet project with a technology you always wanted to work with, get into flow and put it online. This will be the most fun and will give you tons of self-confidence in a very short time.

You should spend 30% of your day on 2 and 70% on 3 and 0% on thinking about the past.

I suspect most of the reason automatics got a bad rap efficiency-wise is the torque converter, which is inherently lossy and absent on manuals.

However, today's autos have typically 8 or 9 gears, allowing the gearbox to present a near ideal load for the engine at all times; I suspect they now tie or even win with manuals efficiency-wise.

Also, autos are said to be more reliable - primarily, I suspect, as they are immune to much of the abuse a driver can expose a manual to.
Your answer gives no explanation beyond "because they are not humans". How do you know that?

Motion detectors are usually passive infra-red (PIR) sensors - no lasers involved. Unless you can cite a consumer-grade laser-based motion detector, I think this means Google's data centers are protected by slightly higher level gear.
Sorry but this comic is neither simple nor accurate.

Firstly, recording the account of sahti is the only function of the ledger, which supposedly is a subset of a record of everyone's deeds' including the elves. Secondly then, fee analysis has shown that blockchains are a poor store of data and should not be used as a database since other mechanisms are far more efficient and cheaper.

5 Machine Learning Projects You Can No Longer Overlook, January
This, I think, leaves out how much formerly domestic labor has been converted into social labor provided either by the state or market forces. Which could be responsible for a lot of reduction as well, as when one does this efficiencies of scale and rationalization can take place in an organization. I have no idea how or why either aspect would be bigger. Hypothetically, reduction of (for example) childcare hours could be as much about proliferation of daycares and kindergarten and schooling in general as it's about development in domestic childcare technologies. Eating and fix prison is microwaves and McDonald's, etc.

Anyone knows what it is that makes the short Paris - Rome trip (1,400 km) cost $64, whereas the New York - LA (4,500 km) costs only $120?

Is it because of taxes, or is electricity just more expensive in France/Italy even without taxes? Or is Tesla just charging Europeans more?
Fair enough. I think your complaints though can apply to most degrees attained at big research universities. Certainly my own at a top undergrad C.S. had its share of terrible teachers and classes - it's a problem across the board, not just at gatech. And by all accounts, as OMSCS is focused on the classes and not research, much of this has improved (with some outliers like the CS6505 algo class, and some others).

My own experience was doing about half of an M.S. about a decade ago before dropping out to go right into work, due to money constraints. I don't regret taking those classes at all though - I learned a lot because I put a lot into it, and it's knowledge I've used throughout my career. I find it hard to believe doing an M.S. at gatech would have no value at all - I guess it depends what you plan on doing and how you will use it.

You should check out SMF, if you have a couple of hours to play with Solaris.. it handles things that systemd does (socket activation, process management/watching etc;) but in an orthogonal way that makes sense.

I like openrc, I also like runit (for different reasons) but SMF is the gold standard for me and I recommend more people check it out. Even if it has XML elements :(
That might be a strategy of theirs. Hit the early adopters hard with a high price, then reduce the cost fast for the masses.

Yeah and it also allows addressing beyond 2GB. I've been using DirectByteBuffers for the sake of being compatible with Android which I think doesn't give you access to the Unsafe API probably. I'll see if I can add a compiler option to use Unsafe for the JVMs that have it in the future. That'll probably do wonders for performance since Unsafe APIs are intrinsics. Unsafe is currently used in the Eta RTS for atomic CAS operations (which should be compatible in Android) on some of the RTS data types.
It's quite amazing to see the degree of change; unfortunately, as C++ compilers are so integral to the system, shipping newer code for older platforms is proving quite difficult. We recently went to C++11 and have to drop binary builds (through OBS and PPA) for a number of still-maintained but older platforms, sadly.

Writing init scripts is as hard as you want it to be.

and 99% of sysadmins are not writing their own, they're modifying the ones supplied by distro maintainers.

If you're a distro maintainer then init scripts are something you write, something you understand because you're handling the state of your distribution from them.

Of course you can just abstract away all the code to another bash script and have your init as 2 lines (which is what openBSD actually does).

In another comment in this thread I mentioned my boss asking our team if 'blockhains would be a good idea to add security' in our web application because a customer mentioned them. If I were to send this MS Pain visualisation to my boss he'd still not understand anything about it. The subject is quite complex and the metaphor used is far to abstract for people who already struggle with describing the simplest requirements in a clear way.

Note that I don't pretend to know how bitcoins work 100%; I have read up on bitcoins a while back, with this previous knowledge I still picked some things up, but I did not grasp the complete explanation from this MS Paint cartoon.

Maybe someone could shine some light on a few things that I am left wondering after reading this cartoon?:

[1]: What would be actually 'written on the pages' in the case of bitcoins? The transactions?
[2]: What mechanism determines what 'finding' or 'mining' bitcoins means? At one point it says that there are rules regarding how many 'pages' there are per day. Is there a parallel for this in Bitcoins? It says that there is randomness involved in mining. I thought you had to find certain key pairs that were hard to calculate and that those key pairs were then used to grant people bitcoins again. Are the reward-bitcoins simple written in a new block? How does mining work?
[3]: 'Sahti' seems to refer to money. Are we talking bitcoins or external currencies?
One reason people started looking into alternative languages was the small pace the C++ compilers were moving. It was hard to be excited about new language features when you knew no one would implement in near future (near being 5-10 years).

It is great to see that things have changed.
Additionally, the copyright holders were ordered to pay costs incurred by the ISPs in implementing the block.

I think the case was a good balance between upholding the law and making it clear that it wouldn't be a system over which the copyright holders have total control.

Does anyone have a working version of phantomjs 2.1.1 with ghostdriver that connects to selenium grid?

I tried this one for example but it just crashes randomly when the jobs are running: https://github.com/AkeemMcLennon/docker-selenium-node-phanto...

The latest 2.5.0 beta doesnt have the updated ghostdriver yet.

How much ram does chrome --headless use (true headless not XvfB), because I want to run about 200 of these in parallel and keeping the ram down is important obviously.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I figure by using selenium grid I can run them in docker containers and even on multiple hardware machines.

Currently, I am running about 50 in parallel with Magellan https://github.com/TestArmada/magellan

But its hitting some kind of system limits or sync issues because each process is started before run time rather than ready and waiting in a pool.

Any help on running 200 headless browsers via selenium grid would be greatly appreciated. I think the current selenium chrome Xvbf docker container uses like 300mb+ per instance so that would be 60gb of ram which is a fair bit.

"It was a waste of time because we know now the Bible is actually written by humans."

The Bible itself has always claimed to be "written by humans", moved by God according to his interactions in history, speaking his words according to the authority given them.

The Bible itself has also been against false prophets (those claiming to speak for God), insisting that every word should be tested according to what came to pass.

For example, take the book of Isaiah. It claims for itself to be written by a human, Isaiah the son of Amoz during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. We know now it was written circa 700 years before Christ. Isaiah speaks about the suffering and rising of the Christ (see Isaiah 53 for an accessible example).

Now the question is, does that not match what we know of Jesus of Nazareth, and do the words of Isaiah not also authenticate Jesus of Nazareth?

And when Isaiah speaks about Cyrus the Great of Persia, many years before his time, does that not match what we know of Cyrus? And was Cyrus himself (according to first-century Jewish Roman historian Josephus) not amazed when he read Isaiah's words concerning himself? Or should we force the book of Isaiah to be post-dated so as to sit more comfortably with a naturalist philosophy?
Most large web services today would die a horrible death if someone pulled off an effective cache pollution attack.

For example, if a piece of client side malware, for every Vimeo video a user views, loads in the background a random rarely viewed video, it would probably lead to days of downtime.
Many of these solutions are unavailable below a certain scale, and there is currently little commercial utility or pressure in offering these features in a wholly-owned-and-operated fashion to small businesses or individuals. The new deal (eg. DDOS resistance) is to rent an implementation, or go without. Basically, the gap between everyone else and the Googles of the world is large and growing.

On the other hand, I wonder how useful some of them are. Boot-level security sounds fantastic but the cost of engineering and at the rate they probably cycle hardware, with decent service-level signatures this probably largely wasted money (eg. unexpected behavior like comms from service X to service Y is default-denied at multiple levels, logged, triggers hard shutdown/reset of system). While performance is cited as a concern, you'd save a lot of money removing the design/deployment/maintenance of all that complexity and could afford a little extra (more standard) hardware.
I haven't used Pandora in a long time, but I have to say that everything you mention can be applied to my experience of Spotify's discovery/radio features as well. Plus it handles playing songs on-demand.

Thank you for looking this up. I found the use of a percentage in the title very strange, why not just state the number of employees or "150/2200" employees or "150 employees (7%)". It could have been 7 people in total.
Actually, in Civ 2, Riflemen and Musketeers both have 2 hit points and 1 firepower.

A good replacement example would be Archers (3 attack, 2 defense, 1/1 hit points/firepower) vs Musketeers (3/3 attack/defense, 2/1 hit points/firepower).

Regarding city walls: If the units inside are musketeers or weaker, cannons may do well (depending on the units' respective veterancy). If they're riflemen or higher, I think veteran artillery will still generally win. And then, of course, there are bombers and howitzers in the later game.

YouTube does that, so that when a new video compression format comes along, they can transcode into it.

Depends on what you consider to be measure of bureaucracy.
