Once you have configured your zone with multiple providers, it's simply a matter of adding NS entries for each provider's authoritative servers to your registrar. The harder part is ensuring that the zones are kept in sync and that you don't rely on features (such as GSLB stuff or ALIAS records) that aren't available with all providers.

It's up to the client resolver to handle failover, so it's not perfect in terms of availability, but better than nothing.

For example:

$ dig ns amazon.com
amazon.com.	3599	IN	NS	ns4.p31.dynect.net.
amazon.com.	3599	IN	NS	ns1.p31.dynect.net.
amazon.com.	3599	IN	NS	ns3.p31.dynect.net.
amazon.com.	3599	IN	NS	ns2.p31.dynect.net.
amazon.com.	3599	IN	NS	pdns1.ultradns.net.
amazon.com.	3599	IN	NS	pdns6.ultradns.co.uk.

Yes, but the Pratchettesque endnotes are part of the fun. It's too bad they're left to the end instead of being inserted into the footer to stand alongside the main article.
Not at all. If there are no bugs, then you spent too much time on it. Also, not all bugs are worth fixing. Sometimes it's better to just ship and iterate more.

Also a second set of eyes just really helps sometimes. That said, it's also important that your reviewer is experienced enough that they can provide a substantial code review. I much prefer a critical eye to "looks good to me" every time.
All you need is an objective requirement for how districts are determined. Besides, gerrymandering could happen with just ideological differences in the total absence of parties.

You're looking at this backwards.

Yahoo was dying. They were dying no matter who was at the head. And whoever was holding the reins when Yahoo went down would get to be known as the person who killed Yahoo with the appropriate reputation hit. They might never work again, almost certainly never be the CEO of any significant company.

Meanwhile the board needs a big name at the helm. Someone to goose the stock price at the end, someone to guide the company on a smooth glide back down. Someone to take the blame. If the board doesn't get someone big and credible, they lose money, they take the blame.

Marissa Mayer didn't get paid $300 million despite presiding over a sinking ship. She got $300 million to preside over a sinking ship. That was the price of her reputation as a CEO.
There are two families of asteroids in the asteroid belt, Alinda and Griqua, which have quite eccentric orbits, and their orbits become more and more eccentric as time passes. From time to time they come close to Mars (or other interior planet), which slings them in a random direction. Some may end up hitting us. That's how the Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt are formed.

Since it is not on the front page and probably everybody wants to know. Here is what it claims to do.

"PMD scans source code in Java and other languages and looks for potential problems like:

- Possible bugs - empty try/catch/finally/switch statements

- Dead code - unused local variables, parameters and private methods

- Suboptimal code - wasteful String/StringBuffer usage
Overcomplicated expressions - unnecessary if statements, for loops that could be while loops

- Duplicate code - copied/pasted code means copied/pasted bugs"

There's a real practical difference between the operational semantics of the machine and the layers of abstraction a programmer understands and uses. Sometimes the only way to verify all models are confluent is with a debugger.
When the possibly of losing $200k an hour with a line down even exists, "screw it, I'll have a few spares made" seems like it would be a less silly idea the plant manager might want to consider.
Because if everyone voted, it would be prohibitively expensive to gerrymander down to small areas such as individual city-blocks. You may have a generally Republican area but a small area/block within would be Democrat because of (say) a respected church leader, for example.

Also, older people vote at much higher percentages than the young and are usually much more settled. If everyone voted, then gerrymandering would have to deal with a population much more in-flux, and the partisan areas would be much harder to identify and maintain.

If you had 1,000 people voting, it would be very easy to gerrymander; 330M people not so much.
Facebook also has one single product, whereas Yahoo has I don't know how many products, and they're all completely different, on sort of different stacks, in different silos and budget orgs, and all slightly different such that unifying them is an enormous task.

If they had had the engineering talent and budgets to build the kind of shared infrastructure and fundamentals that for example Google did, they would have been in a very different spot.

Are you concerned about the bugs or the style used to communicate there was a bug? Those are two different things and I find that most folks don't actually have a problem with the former.

The issues I've seen re: code reviews are often due to a lack of emotional intelligence amongst developers who use reviews to promote their own ego or lack the experience to know how to craft their feedback in a cordial manner.

Yo'ure no doubt right, but when a majority of society is told to accept that money is "food, shelter, and a decent existence" to most people, and "points in a senseless ego game" to a few, things have gone badly off the rails. Those differences in perspective tend to be resolved violently and badly.

If you don't have a debugger, you're going to end up debugging with print statements. Something I've done in the past on devices where JTAG was too much of a pain.

Of course, it requires you have deterministic logging. If you don't have that, it should be your #1 priority.

Agreed.

Isn't the high salary the corporation would have to pay a local worker just a sign of supply and demand in action?

Why do we now want to interfere with the high-demand worker's ability to negotiate a really freaking high salary? Isn't that exactly the thing we want, for people to be able to charge a lot for their rare and unique skills?

I'm not afraid of regulating business, but this just seems laser-focused to screw the American worker, no matter how you cut it. At the end of the day, if a business can't afford to pay the going local rate, then they don't have a viable business model.
The tricky part is making sure the apex NS records are consistent across all authoritative nameservers. A surprising number of dns providers do not let you edit those.
My guess (not a kernel developer):

Technically I think it could be built as a dynamically loadable kernel module and shipped separately from the kernel image under /lib/modules.
This does not make sense if the functionality is always needed, in which case it should be statically compiled in.

In any case there is no benefit of developping separately considering that the module must call functionality from the kernel (at least for the entropy part) so the code is tightly bound to the kernel (and to specific versions of the kernel at that).

The functionality could also live in userland, and the kernel could start a process, which links the libsiphash shared library. The process could then communicate with the kernel by other means, reducing dependencies. And of course that would be too slow.
Not based on arch, but in places where I've worked that have adopted continuous deployment models, there are a lot less breaking changes and those breaks are usually smaller and more manageable.

What I'd like is a stable base system with cutting edge apps, but I don't know if any distro offers this.
I'm not sure why this is on the frontpage since PMD (like Checkstyle and FindBugs) has been around for years. Still If your not familiar with PMD you should take a look.

1. It's okay to storm another country, cause millions of deaths, but someone takes a job from lazy american and everyone is up in the arms.

2. Not all people that TCS, Infosys et al. bringing here are morons. They have earned bachelors degree in engineering or science, as oppose to Americans going to college for FUCKFEST or muh liberal arts degree.

3. I will disclose an insider secret. Major beneficiaries of H1B are american people and country. By snitching talent from other countries, they are keeping technology on lock down. No other country comes even close when it comes to tech innovation.

4. America's demographics has changed a lot. There are 40% new immigrants in last 30 years. So you are no actually fighting for Americans, but for another immigrant only.

5. Why not pick on Chinese people? Because Asian girls are cute and Asian men are weaboos? Muh, white dicks hungry for asian pussy.

6. If you want to protest, then use fucking brain and protest against H1B for non-stem jobs. Why H1b is given for accountants, business analysts, campaign manager et al? How these non-tech jobs can not be filled by Americans?

Tl;dr- Americans are angry for no reason and will be idiots forever.
Oh come on, I've been a Linux enthusiast for over a decade now and it's been years since I've even touched xorg.conf, installed a kernel that didn't come from a standard repo, or had trouble rebooting due to a change I made to the system.

Linux has gotten significantly less painful over the years, and it's not just that I'm more familiar with it now. Installing a mainstream distro these days is easier than the last time I installed Windows (granted, that was XP).

I finally caved and started using a Mac for work. I was afraid that I would like it so much that I would just have to buy one for home, but I actually find Linux is still pleasant to use, I still think I prefer it over Mac OS.
I don't know how your code can tell you the silicon is wrong (for example). Are you're suggesting the first step of debugging a problem is to understand your code, then every bit of code running under it, the all the code under that ad infinitum, then hardware designs under all that... and not using an available debugger?

I can't help but feel this is an opinion only someone who has only ever worked on extremely high level (and basic) systems and has simultaneously disregarded all underlying abstractions could hold, or someone who has only worked with very low level systems which were so shallow my aforementioned facetious approach to debugging is actually feasible. Limiting yourself to either extreme doesn't exactly give one the most balanced view of how problems can be solved in software
I would like yahoo to go screw itself for one specific reason:

Microsoft had offered its war chest to buy them, and yahoo turned them down. It had a good chance of bringing down Microsoft in the long run, and yahoo would have done a solid for the world.

But they turned them down. The ONE TIME I want a goddamn company executive leadership to take the money and run, and they didn't.
I usually send a rather dry email which explains what I want in order to resolve the issue, and then end it with, "I will wait 24 hours for a response before filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau".

This usually results in a quick resolution. When it doesn't, the BBB usually comes through for me.

Incidentally, I see that fancy.com has a D- rating on the BBB website. However, I also see that they have responded to the individual complaints and resolved issues, so it sounds like they would be responsive to a complaint filed there if you have to go that route.

See: https://www.bbb.org/new-york-city/business-reviews/online-re...
Gerrymandering is just one way the fundamental representation problem with single-member FPTP districts manifests. Eliminating gerrymandering doesn't eliminate the fundamental problem, it just makes it a little more opaque the particular manner in which it will manifest.

Serves me right for not reading the article more carefully. Their proposal is, nevertheless, wrong in its approach to the problem. This can only be solved by putting constraints on the influx and removing constraints on mobility of the people the US does let in. With these two things in place, the rest of the issues will take care of themselves. As proposed $100K isn't much of a deterrent for abuse, seeing that even with $100K+ pay there's a shortage of _entry level_ talent in CA.

I don't get why people insist that the whole "bash on windows" things makes it a suitable replacement for Linux. It's like when people say "oh, but OS X has a terminal as well".

I don't use Linux just because of the terminal. Package managers (and the ability to deterministically install/uninstall packages!!) are one of the strongest pilars. WMs I like are another (we'll each have a preference, mine bine i3wm). And finally, a [somewhat] sane, understandable filesystem hierarchy.

Windows is still so, so far from all of those, that it's still not even close to being a suitable replacement.

With these things it boils down to two issues that are often related.

First being drivers, second being software patents.

With regards to drivers there are two variants of the issue.

The first is buggy proprietary drivers.

Please stop insisting on using Nividia hardware under Linux just because they offer a proprietary driver pack. That driver pack is a mess and a half, and most of the complaints i have seen levied against X11 can be explained by said proprietary drivers being in use.

The second is buggy hardware hidden by proprietary Windows drivers.

This is why you see all kinds of power management issues under Linux. All too often the hardware will claim to support being suspended, but never come back to life one done so. Manufacturers knows of this, and will implement workarounds in their official drivers.

As for software patents, they result in FOSS having to wait some 20 years to implement "bleeding obvious" features to avoid getting sued.
