Look - since you are passionate about solving problems and making things, why don't you just create sources of passive income or build some business from the ground up? This way you will be able to bypass any reputation issues that your university has and focus on your creativity instead.
At this point in time, ISP's are just doing DNS redirection. You can get around the restrictions by setting your browser's or router's DNS to Google's on 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
I don't see how "templating purposes" answers the question. I deploy services on VMs that need to parameterized and I can parameterize via templating a written-to-disk shell script that is then just simply executed in the unit... or I can have more dynamic parameterization and use environment variables and Environment= lines in the unit. The latter solution means the substitution is effectively happening in the same place as if they were inlined parameters, so I can't imagine a scenario when it wouldn't be workable.

But it does come with two. Sure they not two dual-analogues, but you can play two-player Mario Kart with the pair of Joy-Cons (urgh, naming) that come with the system.
XCOM2 does it too.

You can see the code in there : https://twitter.com/m1sp/status/697268847187890176

It is increasing your chance to hit if you've a missing streak and if you have lost soldiers. And lower the chance of the enemy hitting you if they've already hit you this turn and you have less than 5 soldiers.
So you can (and will) miss 90% shots, it should not happen twice in a row the same turn.

Yes, but compared to mobile it's an order of magnitude smaller for Apple. It makes sense for them to focus on mobile, but it seems like they're doing that almost to the extent where they're neglecting Mac.
Games are the number 1 app category in the iOS app store. [1] and smartphone + tablet game market is bigger than either console or PC game market.[2] So people clearly see them as gaming devices.

What about it makes it the wrong tool for the job?
For those that are interested, the blocks were ordered in early December by Australia's Federal Court.

The court was given the powers when the Australian Copyright Act was amended in 2015.

The case was heard over several days, and while it was inevitable that it would order the sites blocked (there was no opposition to the blocking application, as such) - the copyright holders didn't get everything they wanted.

They wanted an injunction that they could effectively add to or amend over time (such as when mirror sites pop up), but the Federal Court didn't go that far. The blocking orders require a certain level of oversight.

It seems that new domains will require either a new case, or another affidavit to be filed. We're yet to see what the process will be.

Also there's a multi year timer on the domains that are blocked. Rights holders will need to file an application to keep the blocks in place.

Many people have discovered the blocks aren't really that effective. It seems for many ISPs a simple DNS change will get around it. The court didn't order a specific technical means to achieve the blocks, leaving it up to ISPs to choose. They've obviously chosen methods which aren't all that effective.
How does this go unnoticed to the developer?
No one really cares where you graduated from. I have worked with developers from IITs, BITS and much smaller colleges. Some of them are smart, some of them are mediocre and some are bad, irrespective of the college they are from.

All that matters is your passion and how much you put into the work you do.

A good plot twist:

Nintendo just sells these left & right Switch controllers you stick to the Switch screen BUT tries to get other smartphone manufacturers to integrate connectors to the left & right Switch controllers PLUS builds there own mobile phones. This is still the biggest bummer when playing games on phones—no physical buttons.

At the end of the day, Nintendo must get into the smartphone market and if it's just as a modded Android distribution or heck, just a pure Android with their own game app store (like Steam). They would have the killer properties to gain significant traction and enough users who would install a new app store just to play Mario (but they gave this opportunity away to Apple...).
I would also guess that it might not be good business to publish experimental features from a standard that doesn't exist yet. I think Microsoft is already implementing these features, they are just not out yet.
Same with Playstation multiplayer as of this gen (PS4).

The obvious answer would be that multiplayer servers cost money to run.
I don't know why you are downvoted. Using Safari and XCode, I get 6h tops. I might get 10h with Safari and Mail only.. but 18, never.

Can someone confirm that this actually works? Seems like a pretty weak attempt at a block if true. I think the real problem is them sniffing your traffic.

What the author refers to as a "naked domain" is more generally termed the zone apex.

A CNAME does not co-exist with other records (save for RRSIGs if the zone is signed). Quoting RFC 1034:

If a CNAME RR is present at a node, no other data should be present; this ensures that the data for a canonical name and its aliases cannot be different. This rule also insures that a cached CNAME can be used without checking with an authoritative server for other RR types.

The rational for CNAME was originally to provide a temporary pointer to a new name. It's in vogue to use it as the author has done as a kludge for find-my-A/AAAA-record-here, and it is mostly a fit for trivial use cases, but it is only a partial solution.

Some argue that a standardized ANAME/ALIAS record is needed to suit the needs of the modern DNS. I agree but I also think it's time to consider how we might better allow SaaS providers to maintain records on behalf of users more directly. Doing so would take the burden off of users like the author to understand and correctly maintain DNS records, and allow SaaS providers more nimble and fine-grained control of the customer records for rebalancing load and the like.

Nintendo are apparently working with DeNA on this (as well as on the smartphone games) so hopefully it'll be worth the money.

A free news app that brings you the top stories of the day in the form of 4-second headline video news followed by short news summaries. If the 4-second video news interests you, you can read more in the form of short news of 120-150 words, else skip to the next 4-second headline video.

11 Qualities a Mobile App Must Have
I can't really speak for anyone else, but speaking as someone who has been involved in interviewing and making hiring decisions, I don't care what school you went to. I care that you graduated, and I care to a slightly lesser extent what your degree is and what your GPA was.

What I really care about when I interview you is how you answer my questions (this doesn't mean that I expect you to be able to answer every question fully), how well I can gauge the depth of your knowledge, and whether or not I think you will listen to senior engineers, learn what you need to do quickly and with an appropriate level of mentorship, and be a team member rather than someone trying to do his/her own thing.

Ok, I'll admit that someone who went to a for-profit school is going to have a higher bar to pass, but I haven't had to worry about that yet.
Nintendo sold the switch based on a gimmick. Who knows if the sheeple will make it pay off.

And then being Android everyone would just steal their games since they would be available on Pirate Bay and startups everywhere would be trying to "disrupt" the games industry by making Nintendo JoyCon knockoffs. At which point Chinese manufacturers would be selling them on Alibaba for $2 each.

Somehow I don't think this would be good for Nintendo.
In the XCOM games, one interesting aspect is to mitigate bad rolls and stack bonus to increase your chances to hit.

.. so use Safari and Sublime.

People seriously need to start ditching apps built on Electron and start using native applications again. Atom uses about 400-600Mb memory. So does GitKraken, and so does WhatsApp. The first two can be replaced by Sublime (rarely above 200Mb and much faster) and Fork, although the only real alternative for WhatsApp is Telegram (with the native client), although that has not nearly as much users.

Confirm, it's just a DNS block like previous attempts by the AU Gov to block stuff.

If you're on a Apple device you probably need to use VPN to specify an alternate DNS and either route your traffic through that VPN as well or just use it for DNS.

How many games can you play at once?

How many consoles can Nintendo make per day?

Not having both Zelda and Mario at launch is probably good for reducing demand a bit to help them keep up, because it's nice to sell out but not by too much.

Mario Kart's turning up a month later. Splatoon is coming during the year some time (can't remember if they said when).

And saving Super Mario Odyssey for next holiday season is clear marketing savvy. They get the Nintendo hardcore now, a nice flow during the year as the library strengthens, and then a big boom of Mario people for that bizarrely crucial holiday season.

And staggering out games with online multiplayer makes sense if this new service they're offering needs to have a bit of shakedown time.

> with minimal understanding of what they're really doing

In my opinion, this is very dangerous. It is always better to understand the inner workings and then write an app, otherwise you just feel you have accomplished something when, in reality, it was just the framework you used and you didn't learn. I am saying this out of experience, when I used to use Django, I didn't understand the difference between GET vs POST. Still, I built a small note taking app, I didn't understand how cookies worked and until I wrote this: https://github.com/thewhitetulip/Tasks, I didn't know that the cookie details were read and sent to the sever in each request.

Frameworks are powerful in cases when you want new comers to get started quickly, but in my opinion that has to be after the new comers are familiar with webdev, so they know what the underlying tech are and how they work. Plus, frameworks need to be chosen with care, because you are basically bound to the framework you choose.

Personally, I like to write apps without a framework by using various toolkits, I never felt the necessity to use any framework, because they don't provide me with any distinct feature which I can't replicate with little additional code using the stdlib and supporting toolkits like gorilla.

From my experience building the Tasks application, I wrote an introductory e-book which teaches building apps with example, so no more magic! I didn't find a resource which taught how to write web apps using an example, thus wrote one.

The Exclusive Or: Principles of Research Code(2012)
I have no good reason to avoid Keccak. As far as I know, it is safe. It did win SHA3 after all. On the other hand, all SHA3 finalists were deemed good enough, and the reasons for Keccak's victory was in part to promote diversity —which I can understand. I couldn't just ignore the other finalists.

I've heard that Blake was faster than MD5, and just as safe as Keccak. That decided it. I'm glad I did it, because the code is simple, and turned out to use the same ARX design as Chacha20.

Now I can imagine using Keccak instead. But then I'd be tempted to base the entire symmetric cipher-suite on the sponge construction, to share code and cryptanalysis.
The speaker's guide to more presentation leads
Your [2] summarizes the whole situation evenhandedly. Far from being a take down of Everett, it ultimately comes down slightly on his side of the controversy.
No this in not forth-like (i.e. referring to the programming language Forth, see also reverse polish notation [1-2]), as in Forth operands precede operations:

"the moon green cheese is john believes john wrong is mary thinks."

Note that this almost exactly corresponds to japanese grammar (which really feels very forth-like)

tsukisama ha midori no chi-zu da to john ga shinjite, machigatte to mary ga omotte to john ga itta.

An interesting resulting property of japanese grammar is that attributive phrases are grammatically equivalent to recursive sentences. I.e. "aoi sora" meaning "blue sky" is gramatically the same as "the sky, which is blue". (as "aoi" = "blue" is a fully valid single-word sentence in japanese grammar)

What you refer to is Lisp-like grammar. But in Lisp you have parentheses that help with making the grouping explicit. Maybe Lisp without parentheses is more difficult to understand than reverse polish notation because the "stack" needed to parse the sentence needs to be build by reading the sentence in reverse.

Don't think of it in terms of technology, think of it in terms of people. We live in the future where not only can you watch your role models on TV, but you can also follow them on Twitter and read their daily thoughts and opinions in real time.
What people need is not necessarily faster systems, but often just quality workhorse computers to replace their previous (broken or worn off) ones. Fingerprint security, better audio and better battery life would have been a good enough increment to a lot of people to buy the new series. In fact the MBP did perform well in sales, though it could've been even better if all 3 of the above were available on all models.

The iPhone 7 though is a big disappointment, and the fact that Apple themselves overestimated the demand is indicative of that. I think to a lot of people it looked like a decrement rather than increment, i.e. it's a 6 without the headphone jack. Camera? I don't know if I need the new one really. Faster CPU? I'm not sure it's critical for the apps I'm using. Personally, it's the first time since iPhone 3 that I don't want the new one.

Maybe it's all normal and maybe Schiller is right in that every new product will always be met with criticism. Apple's stuff is now too popular and too important to be dismissed if it's a flop. Who cares if Dell's next laptop is ugly and/or overpriced? No one cares. But Apple is a near-monopoly because of OS lock-in and millions of people's jobs (I'm guessing) literally depending on them.

It's this sense of panic that Apple is slowly building up a bubble around themselves. We don't even know whether it's the usual secrecy around R&D or they simply don't know what to do next.
Do you not also see a paradox in claiming to be able to observe the unobservable?

As others have mentioned in the thread, scientists didn't just wake up one day and decide to ignore everything supposedly "unobservable". Science was once intertwined with theology. Over the centuries, the methods we now call science produced results, while other supposed "ways of knowing" did not. Scientific knowledge converges over time, but religion diverges.
Yeah, but I'm sure you agree networkd should propagate errors from wpa_supplicant such that they reach the user, instead of piping them to /dev/null (not literally, but you get my point)?

So it is being blocked at ISP level, and it's up to them how they implement the block. For now, they've chosen DNS blocking, which is of course easy to work around.

Here's hoping the block encourages everyday citizens to be take technical measures to evade not just the block but the censorship.
