There is one pass phrase I remember, 5 passwords, 2 PINS, 2 phone numbers. My password manager and address book remember hundreds of passwords, phone numbers and emails each.

For some reasons everybody uses an address book, many people let browsers remember passwords but almost everybody resists the idea of using a password manager and end up with low entropy passwords.

> Is the Raspberry Pi an open-source software and hardware platform?

No, the hardware isn't open, and not all of the software is, either. It requires a closed-source blob of code to boot the system. There's "real" firmware in the VC4 chip, which is the first part of the Pi to come up, some binary blob bootloader files, and drivers handling graphics and hardware decoding that are still closed. There is an open-source 3D driver, but it's missing some capabilities from the closed one (hardware accelerated video decoding), but includes some extras (some degree of support for non-mobile OpenGL).

The chips from most other vendors are at least bootable without blobs, even if video output won't be properly accelerated.
Debian is up to 92% deterministic builds, so not that hard:

Modern CDNs don't use DNS based routing. If a CDN is doing that then they're not really focused on being fast or reliable.
As you note E-lisp is very hard to write correctly when everything has to work together, but even just the dynamic typing and dynamic scope often gets in the way of correctness. It's only through Herculean effort on the part of the maintainers that these things even work -- it's pretty instructive to look at the issue trackers for some of the larger e-lisp projects, e.g. magit.

It remains to be seen whether this editor can change that, but if the API/Plugin boundaries are strongly typed, I'd be reasonably optimistic that it's at least plausible that it could :).
Exciting project.

For those people who might be scared off because it is Haskell, I would encourage you look at the default config. [0]

Apart from import statements and two lines of boilerplate, it is just a newline deliminated list of modules. The only line that this does not apply to is the last line, which sets the initial state of the buffer.

Writing your own extensions probably will always involve being comfortable with Haskell, but (assuming it gets a decent community) will not be nessasary for the majority of users.

SNAP households spent 9.3 percent of their grocery budgets on soft drinks
Diamorphine is given IV/IM/SC - not orally - which generally means that its use is confined to a short period in the first few hours/days of a hospital admission until the patient can be switched to oral medication. Noone is sent home with diamorphine unless they are end stage palliative and they are on a home syringe driver to get it.

OTOH oxycodone is almost always orally administered which means patients stay on it for longer in hospital and are commonly discharged with a prescription for more.

The doctors I work with who have done fellowships in USA state that oxycodone is (?was) given out like lollywater compared to hospitals here, where it is only prescribed if the patient has a REALLY good reason they can't have oral morphine.
I enjoy that you had the courage to bring "factually incorrect" into this conversation.

If someone, anyone, goes looking for the facts, there is only one destination in which they will end up. The facts aren't hard to find. They are all in boring science textbooks. But nobody reads those anymore.

The current culture war is waged by those who profit off ignorance against those who crusade for truth. You may think this is a black and white view of it, but it isn't. One side wishes to obliterate facts, the other wishes to incinerate pretty lies at the expense of hurt feelings.

So yes, there are a great many positions that are factually incorrect. All of them, to be exact, except the factually correct ones.

The problem of course is that facts can be inconvenient to those who seek power.

Municipal and County Attorneys are really really scummy. It's basically just a job to be corrupt in. They have long forgotten their constitutional duty. The lawyers who remember that are either busy earning a lot of money the hard way (being corrupt is the easy way) or protecting those who need it. Taking money from traffic cams is just another way this is expressed.

Local elections matter people.

(I have family members who are attorneys and public officials in small towns, I speak about this from experience listening to them rant).
Over here in Europe (at least in Germany) you can buy as much Gin as you like in every supermarket - if you're over 18. I don't know if we have higher alcohol abuse numbers than countries with stricter laws but I doubt it. Does anyone have internationally comparable numbers?

EDIT: forgot: it's very cheap. If I remember correctly, you can get a one litre bottle for < 10 EUR - certainly not the best there is but "good enough" to get drunk as f* - even with little or no money
I find it interesting that they had to rely on data volunteered by a grocery chain. They should build in something to the SNAP card system so they can track at high level where the money is being spent. That could provide some interesting data about nutrition and budget of the low income population.

It's not that simple. How much do you pay to keep those HDDs powered per TB per year? How much does maintenance cost (replacing drives etc.)? How does the low IOPS of those drives affect your workload?

SSDs may not win in every area yet, but if you only look at purchase price, you're not getting the right picture.
>monoculture is undesirable.

I agree. I would also gently suggest that the Silicon Valley monoculture is not one of 50 year old Republicans.
It depends on what you mean by parallel.

Certainly the Roslyn C# compiler is highly parallel. All files are parsed in parallel, then all classes are bound (semantically analyzed) in parallel, then the IL serialization phase is sequential.

The more refined apps (which are the ones customers care about) use a variety of Android platform services, not just the barebones stuff -- homescreen widgets, rich notifications, bundled notifications, app-defined quick settings, fingerprint authentication, Vulkan API, Cast support, Material themes, Play services etc. etc. etc. Building a complete compatibility layer means pretty much reimplementing all Android userspace.
I used to write SSD firmware (not Crucial though!) and new code can always be buggy despite our best effort to test it thoroughly. However many of the SSD companies have carried their firmware through multiple generations now and the code has matured during that time so I expect this to be less of an issue. The bigger issue now will be a process shrink resulting in NAND issue that has not been identified before to be properly mitigated by the controller/firmware so I personally when a year for a product to mature before buying it.
According to first link in those search results, ColdFusion is as popular as Ruby. I think you have to factor in the number of PHP "applications" where there's little to no development needed. There's a tremendous number of websites thrown up on $5 hosting with Wordpress and a $20 theme.

> After learning ruby/rails it will be difficult to find work and understand basic database constructs.

Doesn't have to be that way, but I'd posit that developers should learn to build an application using pure SQL before they learn an ORM.
I'm curious, does anyone have concrete evidence about these things or are people just saying that "on the evidence which we are gathering"
Most of the .NET repos are structured to use inner and outer loop testing with Jenkins. Most tests on most architectures are run in the inner loop, which are kicked off in parallel as soon as you make a pull request to one of the .NET repositories on Github.

Some repositories, like CoreCLR, have outer loop testing that runs on a separate schedule (nightly, I think), but those tests are far less likely to break and are more devoted to finding rare and difficult to compute edge cases.

Always mix batches almost regardless of what you buy. HDDs can and do fail like that too. I learned that the almost-hard way back in the day of the IBM Death Star [1], where we had a RAID that started failing, one drive at a time, roughly a week apart. We had reasonably up to date backups, but couldn't afford to take everything offline, so we were biting nails for weeks of continous RAID rebuilds and reduced performance and thankfully everything stayed up and we didn't get any additional failures during any of the rebuilds.

Except that going across the street to CVS to get the exact same product at a better price is very different to switching from iPhone to Android. Apart from just the big outlay for new hardware, you have to figure out how to migrate from (e.g.) iCloud, what happens with your chats in iMessage with all your friends, the different way that Android actually works. Don't underestimate the degree to which small differences confuse non-techy users. Even just upgrading from one iPhone to another, or installing an iOS update, can be confusing.

No-ones going to do that to get slightly cheaper apps (if they are actually cheaper, which I doubt, because I don't believe that the Google App Store is actually competing with the Apple App Store).

Unless its the controller or firmware that goes bad... I once had three SSDs from the same batch (in different RAID sets, thankfully - we mix and match) go within a week and all had completely garbled SMART data.

But overall I prefer SSDs - just mix and match different models/manufacturers/batches in different RAID sets as for HDDs.

> But "verified" software often means formal mathematical verification, and that is orthogonal to if the source is open.

I think there may be cross-talk here related to who's doing the verifying too. I think the parent is assuming "verification" would imply that a 3rd party could verify the software in question. AFAIUI it's currently nowhere near practical for a 3rd party to verify closed-source software of any non-trivial size. (Correct me, if I'm wrong, obviously.)

It's still a research problem even for open-source unless the software is built with formal verification in mind (for example in Coq or Agda), but at least there's an existence proof that it's possible to do for non-trivial software (see CompCert C). That was still a multi-year effort and it's still a somewhat (architecturally) simple program as compilers tend to be.
That could potentially work but I think that poker pros might want the publicity and how would you stop them from talking? It is a small, well connected community.

You're absolutely right. Good emotional state is probably the key factor in combating addiction. Yet it's important to remember that there exist other factors at play in addiction, and that we should target them too. For instance, addiction to alcohol seems to have some genetic factors. In some genetic lines, almost every person with a low emotional state might be at huge risk for addiction. And in others, almost no one might be at risk. We need to also understand why that is, and combat that, too.
I don't agree.

Before we moved to Git, Roslyn was on TFS, which was basically Perforce/CVS/SVN.

You're absolutely right that the distinction among the former VCS's is minimal. However, Git offers value that was transformative compared to the former. Namely,

1. Git allows you to easily switch between multiple work items while keeping track of the work done in each item.

2. Git allows you to easily integrate with people who have significantly diverged clones of your tree without too much trouble.

3. Git allows you to easily work offline.

(1) is definitely the largest benefit, but was mitigated with tools like g5 when I was at Google. However, the Google gravity well has its own drawbacks.

(2) is very important if you want to host rapid release schedules with divergence of features. It's especially useful if you want to have long stabilization periods and low-risk bug fixes delivered in parallel to multiple customers.

(3) is pretty self-explanatory, but for most people it's underestimated how much downtime your VCS has. I'd bet, for most people, it's significantly less than 5 9's. Not only is that wasted time, it's frustrating because it's usually consecutive and removes entire working days at random.
So if the security of Whatsapp's keys hinges so much on the key change notifications, why turn them off by default? Why allow them to be turned off at all?

No one (today) would get the idea to make https warnings optional even though that audience is even broader than Whatsapp's. (Possibly even because that audience is so broad)
Don't think any concrete evidence exists, but the fact that the politicians (across the aisle) that were briefed on the hackings are universally accepting that Russia hacked the DNC is pretty good indication that the claims are true. Well, either that or there's a huge conspiracy going on, or gross incompetence.
I guess solid evidence is hard to put forward. Suppose I follow a chain of forwarders back to a Russian government hacking organization. What evidence would convince you that it happened? A PDF report listing the IPs? Screenshots? Print outs? An independent third party (and how would I convince them?)

Add to that the secrecy of the agencies gathering this evidence (completely unnecessary IMO) and the partisan/scepticism of the recipients, it's a hard problem.
I use my current browser largely because of the extensions for it.
Apple could charge a licensing fee to developers that equals %30 of app revenues instead in exchange for permission & access to use the iOS SDK and get access to signing keys. If they use the app store, then that %30 is automatically collected for them.

I could see that as a result of a lawsuit forcing them out of the app store model.

Thanks. This is actually really great. Not only for testing my own web sites, but also for getting rid of a lot of the bullshit on other sites. I'll try to remember I have this shortcut now!
I know nothing about American law, but why has the constant plea been for a pardon and not amnesty?

It seems like in the former case one would need to be convicted of something before one could be pardoned. Snowden hasn't been convicted of anything yet...

Although there is the caveat that amnesty at federal level would not provide immunity from prosecution by state courts, as far as I understand it.

IANAL.
Those who (reasonably!) question the lack of actual evidence presented by the US intelligence community over the US hacks would do well to read the 2014 FireEye paper on APT28 (the group involved). It's pretty compelling, even if it doesn't address the specific allegations around the election(s). The TL;DR is that there is significant circumstantial evidence that this group is government backed, and also evidence against it being a false flag operation.

Note that the date of the report should provide some protection against allegations it is politically motivated.

See https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2014/10/apt28-a...
Not that much has changed that is super significant.

IMHO to be a good frontend developer you need decent comprehension of JS/CSS/HTML. Some framework experience. Some backend / upload knowledge. Know git. Not an asshole to work with.

To be a better frontend developer you need human skills, strong raw JS, the ability to move between frameworks without whinging, and solid knowledge of cross-platform desktop/phone/tablet/TV development. Can happily code a frontend direct from either an API spec or a vague informal concept. Have written and used automated tests with git.

To be an awesome frontend developer you need all of the above but are comfortable doing web as well as multi-platform native development, can run docker or another toolchain for rapid iteration and integration with backend developers and QA teams, have great people skills, have executed multiple projects where security/reliability/offline mode/multilingual design were front and center, and have learned basic lessons about cutting corners by maintaining at least one or two nontrivial projects long term.

That's a funny article. It's all about the history of the report, but not a single word about corroborating evidence for any of the claims found in said report. That sort of silence becomes deafening after a while.

Given that the details that are verifiable are faring poorly--the wrong Michael Cohen was in Prague--that's not so good:

https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/819187673961287681

Worse, there are (disputed) claims that the most infamous allegation in the report is a hoax from this guy:

https://twitter.com/trsprudence

The hoax appears to have passed through a lot of hands, so it may never be possible to establish sourcing on this one, but other journalists report having seen the hoax, and it certainly reads like something the chans would dream up. They also point to this as one of their inspirations:

https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/2gk74a/til_w...

In short, I'll wait until I can get some verifiable facts here. The media has had this doc for months now, too, from other reports. If they had something out of this that they could report, someone should have done so by now.
I discussed this with a few friends. And it's really best if nothing is done with Snowden from the governments perspective.

If they pardon him, they say it's alright to release national secrets based on "feelings" (even if it's morally correct to do so, they can't have that). If they try to get him to the US for a public trial, who knows what will happen. If they bring him home for a secret trial, the risk rioting or a martyr. Similarly, if they kill him with a direct assassination he will be a martyr, and they'll be dramatically ruining their image. Finally, if they kill him in a covert way, no one will believe it and in all likelihood it will be widely believed it is the governments doing.

By leaving him in this limbo, the government can claim what ever they want about him without proving it. At the same time, Snowden has no more info to disclose, although he has a solid and growing cult following.

For the record, I signed this as soon as I heard about it and shared it with everyone I knew. I think it's important to be counted and try to share and convince others if your beliefs, if you believe it'll dramatically impact your future.

What Snowden did and what he stands for is the last chance to have any form of democracy or privacy. Unfortunately, it appears to have failed, but that doesn't mean you stop trying to improve things. Perhaps, the younger generation (millennials and below) will recognize what he did, as opposed to what the government is trying to spin.

OK so the patient doesn't pay the deductible, but the hospital will get the rest from the insurance company right?

I fail to see how the amount uncollected could go up from this interaction. Before, uninsured people would have to pay full price (hospitals tend to charge uninsured people more), now they only have to pay a deductible...

Though chances are any time the uninsured rate goes down, the default rates of insured people will go up. Newer insured people are less likely to have their finances intact after all. So anything that lowers the uninsured rate will cause this issue I suppose

Maybe new healthcare revisions should offer FDIC-style insurance for deductibles for hospitals. Wouldn't want people refused from hospitals despite having insurance.
