Hypothetical:

A journalist uses some apple computer. If its new, Tails won't be able to establish a network interface, so maybe there is a usb wifi dongle as well.

When entering boot mode (restart with option key pressed), in order to select Tails, wifi networks are shown.

You are suggesting that Apple is leaking the MAC address of the computer to all AP before Tails is even selected to boot from.

This suggests that any MAC address randomization the user intended to use for the built in computer wifi or the dongle via Tails will be partially defeated.

Many AP will log the original MAC immediately and one (the one chosen for wifi after Tails boots) will log the randomized Tails MAC.

Is this correct assumption?

EDIT: After rereading it sounds like you are saying they DO randomize probe packets and the scenario I describe above does not occur, NO MAC is leaked during Tails boot selection process on apple hardware.

Can anyone confirm this?

Not to mention how the truly ubiquitous HTTP protocol uses CRLF in the headers. The mechanical origins of the CR/LF combo were so strongly ingrained in developer culture that line oriented protocols like HTTP inexplicably continued to use it - either that or Tim Berners Lee just copied it from earlier line oriented protocols like SMTP because it just seemed like the "right way to do things".

It also doesn't help that most modern web servers also include logic to handle a single LF character to terminate lines anyway.

I agree this solution handles a lot of common cases and makes the code easier to read than when forced to escape everything. I wasn't clear in my comment about self-reference. I meant that, suppose you are storing the text of articles in the DB (not a great idea, but it happens). The article (the one that you linked to) explains the $$ mechanism by showing how it works, so it's full of $$ sequences - the very sequences that we are assuming won't be encountered in normal text. That's what I meant in my beginning comment when I said that handling text that talks about our quoting conventions will lead to problems.

Prove that Mossadergh wasn't popular! Mossadegh enjoyed massive popularity at different times during his political career, but his position as Prime Minister was never due to a nationwide poll (he was PM on two separate occasions). Please show however that he "would have been overthrown without the CIA engineered coup" LOL.

Also show me when a popular government was able to successfully nationalize a resource where Britain or USA had favorable terms or interests, and nothing bad happened. Even Britain's own declassified documents show that this coup was an alternative to military action.

Even when China tried to block the opium trade they got the opium wars.

Or show me where they were able to successfully take away a foreign corporation's ability to enjoy unfair tax breaks like the United Fruit Company did, leading to an overthrow of Guatemala's government.

mighty signal's list of Android libraries includes things like
Firebase Cloud Messaging and other Firebase libraries, Guava, and other Google libraries like Fabric.

these are provided, maintained, published and promoted by google. and most Android developers are already aware of those libraries because Google mentions them a lot in the documentation and at Google IO. these libraries might even be described as "standard."

but, what if I want to look at a list of libraries which does not include any of those "standard" google libraries? what if I just want to look at the "non-standard" libraries created by non-google organizations?

can mightysignal provide such a filtered list?
React Native is gaining a lot of traction for cross-platform mobile development. My company has started to transition to RN over Xamarin for our enterprise app development.

Functional languages have begun to gain popularity and coverage as well.

On the frontend Elm is excellent. On the backend Elixir and the web framework Phoenix offer top notch developer experiences.

If you have experience in the dot net world... Dot Net Core is shaping up to be a revolutionary rewrite of the dot net ecosystem. It's fast and lean, as well as cross-platform.

If you are into lower level languages, Rust & Go have picked up a ton of steam in the past few years. Until recently they have been stuck in the systems level programming niche, but Go especially is beginning to take hold for API and more "front side of the backend" development.

Such drives technically existed in the early days of consumer SSDs (2009-2010), but even then, the limitations in speed were due to poor controllers and firmware (certain Jmicron controllers, if anyone remembers).

The slow flash chips that you're talking about probably don't exist in sufficient numbers to warrant making a separate product from them. Let's say their lithography produces 5% of slow flash chips. It is probably more cost efficient to sprinkle those chips in existing product lines as spare capacity (all SSDs are overprovisioned, afaik), rather than making a whole separate product line out of them - a product line that will, by definition, be low end and thus have tiny margins.

In the US, many states require hospitals to file a "Certificate of Need" before they're allowed to buy a new MRI (or operate a helicopter ambulance service, etc). The reasoning is to prevent overlapping service and reduce costs. But really it reduces resiliency and availability -- if the lone machine in the county is down for repairs, you don't want to be transporting a patient across the state to get a scan done.

Ask HN: Best way to apply for entry-level roles?
Hello all!

I'm a recent grad with a degree in CS and I was wondering if HN could help me with some career advice.

Specifically, I've been having some trouble in figuring out the optimal strategy for applying to entry-level dev jobs.

In particular, is it better to apply only to specific kinds of jobs (front-end, back-end, mobile, etc.) or to just apply to every kind of software development role out there?

In other words, should I focus my job search to particular subfields of software development or is it better to cast a wide net?

Given that I don't have much work experience, I would greatly appreciate any advice from the folks on HN.

Thanks!

In 2003 the NYT published an article asking "Does Democracy Avert Famine?", referring to a relatively recent Ethiopian famine as being preventable by adequate societal oversight [0]. Last year, they published "Is The Era of Great Famines Over?", referring to a drought in Ethiopia that did not trigger a widespread famine as it did in 1993 (which is the famine referred to in the first article).[1]

Fun fact: the fastest way to load an XMM register (that is, SSE) to all bits 1 is to compare that register to itself, essentially:

int x;

From a high level it is looking that way. Response to recent MS products has been good (surface and surface studio). Apple can't get away from negative press (the headphone jack, lack of innovative features, lack of ports on macbook, touchbar etc).

But the administration has not earned the benefit of the doubt. The outrage is more directed at what Trump has promised to do (eliminate the EPA, or make drastic cuts, or halt its climate change activities), than what he has actually done so far. He has not earned the trust or respect for anyone to reasonably say "this is routine, I'm sure he won't do anything stupid".

You can't always stay silent until after something outrageous has happened. Some things are easier to prevent than to undo.

In Elixir, error handling is considered “code smell.” I’ll take a second to let you read that again.

I think that this makes a lot of sense. My experience in just about any language, is that the official means of error handling already feels like a code smell, even before you start using it. And if that's not the case, then it still manages to feel that way when used in a large project.

Lots of Smalltalk projects would actually handle errors by saving the image on an unhandled exception. For server applications, this was like having a "live" core dump where the debugger could open up right on the errant stack frame, and you could perform experiments to aid in debugging.
.Net core seems really cool, but I don't see it getting anywhere for a while. Most of the enterprise is still using .Net standard. It is near to impossible for me to get a job working on an ASP.Net Core codebase right now, because everyone seems to still be using .Net standard.
Agreed.

Even if you don't need a whole 2D library, it would be very useful to have a stable API for reading the system fonts, so apps don't have to ship their own.

I am quite sure. Moves like https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/whitehouse/epa-scien... to provide political review and censorship of scientific work is something that hasn't happened in this country since McCarthy was taken down.

Or take the reinstatement of the Holman rule. See https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/house.... This rule allows politicians to target individual civil servants. This is again not business as normal. This rule was removed under Ronald Reagan in 1983. No administration since has sought its reinstatement. This again fits into the theme of creating "chilling effects" from partisan oversight of what is supposed to be a politically neutral organization.

For a third example, see http://www.salon.com/2017/01/10/please-dont-tell-us-the-trut.... The CBO is widely viewed as neutral, and has been kept that way for many years. It routinely provides estimates for every bill of what that bill's impacts are likely to be, including the estimates of the impact on our deficit. However House Republicans want to repeal the Affordable Care Act and do not wish to be embarrassed by estimates of how much removing some of its inflation limiting provisions will impact our federal deficit. So they are banning the CBO from calculating this number.

I can cite plenty of precedents for all of these actions. They are all before my birth, or in other countries. They are emphatically NOT business as usual in the modern USA.
Compromise: all traffic must be treated equally over land lines but allow wireless carriers to make deals.

Two reasons I'm okay with this compromise. Landline broadband providers have no technical limitations on how much data their infrastructure can carry, but no matter how much money you through at wireless data transmission, there are limits to how much data can be squeezed into certain bands of the spectrum and some bands aren't conducive to cellular data.

The second reason is that most people don't have a choice when it comes to home internet service - meaning no competition. There are plenty of choices with wireless carriers as long as the government doesn't allow consolidation.

I've been teaching after school programs and community classes through our university for a couple years on and off.

I've been using the CS-First curriculum from Google. It uses Scratch as the programming environment (a visual environment from MIT).

Overall, I like the CS-First curriculum a lot–though some of the themes are better than others (some lean towards animation/storytelling and are light on actual programming topics). In my workshops I almost always inject some of my own lectures and exercises with the kids.

Biggest issue I've run into is with Scratch being Flash-based. I'm starting to see browser issues more often (especially in a tightly controlled university lab). This could be a big issue for you if you're teaching kids remotely.

One new thing I'm looking forward to trying with a class soon is Hopscotch. It's a scratch-like visual programming environment for iOS. I've tested it on my own kids and they love it. Plus they put out a ton of useful videos and tutorials.

Good luck

> why is it that a company like Toshiba, in operation for more than a century, is dependent on the goodwill of banks to remain solvent?

This is historically very common in Japan, where they are known as Zombie companies. [1] It's been suggested that this is due to a fierce cultural taboo against failure. So, for example, corporate bankruptcy rates in Japan are extraordinary low - not because Japanese companies are so much better, but because Japanese banks keep poorly performing corporations alive using debt. The bad debts then lead to the phenomenon of Zombie banks [2] that are kept alive by the government. The Japanese government also directly bails out technology companies through the Innovation Network Corporation of Japan (INCJ) [3], which bailed out Sharp last January with a $1.7 billion loan.

This "Zombie" behaviour is thought to be partly responsible for the decades of Japanese economic under-performance known as the "Lost Decades" [5]. It is also feared that "Zombies" are becoming widespread in China. It might also be showing up European and even US economies due to bail-outs actions taken by those governments after the financial crisis. It seems to me that Trump's brand of economic policy might also create these types of Zombie problems.

> the goal of business is to drive profit, not human welfare

I agree, and that is indeed a problem.

> The goal of the government is to drive human welfare, not profit.

I disagree strongly: the goal of government is power. No-one runs for office to make the world a better place: he runs for power or, if we're very, very lucky because he wants to be the one to make the world a better place.

To your dialectic of government & business, I'd like to add a third party: the people. We're not pure either, of course (as a group, we like to oppress, ignore & line our own pockets!), but we're the ones that create government; we're the ones it ought to serve; we're the ones who ought to hold it accountable.

Some of us fall into the trap that whatever a corporation wants is okay, others into thinking that the State is always right, others still into thinking that the People are always right. The truth is that all of them are sometimes wrong. There's no real solution.

But let's try to minimise the amount of violence in our society, and try to maximise the utility we get for that violence. Am I okay sending men with guns to wrest your property away in order to fund the national defense? Sure. Am I okay sending them to prevent people starving in the streets? Okay. Am I okay send them over in order to finance a cowboy poetry festival? Hell no.

While I agree wholeheartedly that Erlang's design is better:

To be fair, you can't get Erlang's semantics without also inventing processes and supervisor trees. And those things would be largely meaningless without immutability.

Erlang's magic comes from how all the puzzle pieces fit together into a whole: For example, with immutability comes the ability to always be able to restart from a known state, and probably greatly simplifies the internal implementation of the per-process heap.

Those things fundamentally change the language; Go couldn't adopt Erlang's semantics without eschewing almost everything that makes it "Go".

Error handling is really the least of it. Attempting to replicate some of Erlang's high-level design principles at a quickly lead to roadblocks. For example, goroutines cannot be killed; this means it's impossible to fully implement supervisor trees in Go. It's possible that the runtime could support this at some point, but it's a big can of worms.
