I continue to be surprised by the sheer amount of writing we see about ntpsec. The project was started over two years ago, and yet progress reports seem very optimistic and self-congratulatory, despite an obvious lack of progress.

Sure rewriting "bits" of things, with more features, and adding my python sounds useful. But here we are 500+ days since the project started and there are only minor experiments in moving from C.

I get the feeling this is one of those projects which will never be complete. Perhaps not a bad thing, providing those involved are having fun, but so much verbiage to say so.
To be perfectly frank, it would be fine with me, as I'm basically paying what amounts to a tax anyway. At least it would be explicitly stated as such, instead of this 'bait-and-switch' bullshit foisted upon us here in the US. I suspect that Obama threw down the gauntlet here with the ACA knowing full well it would modified down the road.. I believe his ultimate goal was, in fact, a single-payer system managed by the government (similar to, um, every other country in the world).. but of course couldn't call it that. It's not clear what the Republicans will do, but the 'cat is already out of the bag' as they say. If it's a tax, call it that.. we pay Social Security as a tax so we have some safety net when we're older.. nobody bitches about that (and Americans can really bitch.. just watch the news)... it's like 5%. Why not a similar tax for healthcare? Furthermore, why do we even need insurance companies? They have too much power over services and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with respect to our personal health. They're essentially payment clearing houses.. if we're going to privatize health, then we should mandate better price visibility of services and also better risk assessment of the ultimate receivers of the health care.. Currently, their risk assessment models are far too naive (blanket premiums with high deductibles).. Healthy people should pay less for their health care.. sick should go into higher risk pools and be paid out of the tax largesse managed by the government. Long ago, insurance companies began to amortize (health) risk through HMO's..when before that it was ostensibly pay-for-service through the doctors. They began to collect the money.. and then the service fees began to sky rocket (sounds like the US housing market, doesn't it?) Now the insurance companies know they have a huge target on their backs and are buying up all the hospitals and the private practices so now they own the 'last mile' of health care. Unfortunately it's a 45 year-old morass of legislation that no one (not even Google) wants any part of it. A good start is to mandate visibility into all services and let the consumers bitch and complain to the paymasters (their government, doctors, and insurance companies).. something will change. Until we know exactly how much things cost, we'll never be able to effectively optimize any of it.
Yep. My subconscious often gives me very interesting "left field" type problem solving/troubleshooting advice during my programming dreams.
I did something similar with a Mac, reporting faithfully the reactions of the machine to his instructions. Eventually, he caught on:

"Oh, so you're not running Windows?"
"I never said I was. YOU called me and claimed I was running it!"
"<Click>"
Why? That's actually a common usage.

Add '~atic' to any of those and it's sounds much more extreme; something to disapprove of.

I quoted Cambridge online dictionary above as defining it as disapproving, the same dictionary defines 'fan' exactly as you use it, and does not give 'fanatic' as a synonym.

Of course it originates as an abbreviation, but the usual usage is very different.

I would define virtue-signalling rather by the intention of what they do. They don't support those organizations out of an intrinsic motivation but to sell stuff to their followers. The intention is not to do good but to appear as an organization that does good. While I don't have any proof for this being their motivation, choosing the most visible instead of more effective organizations implies that they don't actually care about the effect or their support.

Politicians don't dole out cash and go pray that the voters will honor their agreement. They have a way of making sure that their bought votes are delivered to them.

Buying votes happens mostly in slums and other non-affluent areas. These are the places where the concept of privacy hasn't yet formed and everybody knows what everybody else is doing. Also, a politician is not expected to work for them his whole term. It is natural to see your local representative only during the times of election. So politicians have the two key ingredients to enforce an implicit contract. But the biggest weapon these politicians have is intimidation. Since it's not hard to mostly figure out the faction that refused to vote for the money they took, they can be persecuted and intimidated.

Of course there's no official source to cite this. My driver is very chatty and quite insightful about the politics in India.

Reading the definition on Wikipedia, "all talk and no action" isn't it. virtue-signaling means to platitudinous and superficial support a socially progressive view in order to enhance ones standing within that social group.

For example, a secret lobbyist could be doing virtue-signaling by advertisements and donations. Its common understanding that a lobbyist can and will change their views instantly when its profitable, and thus their actions aren't in honest support of the cause for which they are at some point supporting.

I'm not up to scratch on the history of this, but systemd is coming from the Freedesktop.org camp, which also game us GNOME 3 aka Unity. This group seems to have the biggest case of ivory-tower syndrome in all of OSS. :(

The infuriating part is that the whole thing is backed by Red Hat and very closely followed by Ubuntu. So basically you have emotionally immature "devewopers" with overinflated egos being given the keys to the Linux kingdom.

They've even made the kernel devs mad, but there's very little the kernel folks can do except shake their heads in stunned disbelief and repeatedly outline the concrete examples of where things have gone wrong.

I'm saddened to say this, but it looks like Linux has gotten so popular that its collective competency has taken a nosedive.

The problem is political. systemd is being looked at by enough people that issues like the one raised in this post eventually come to light. It's what happens next - the social/communicative stage - that is where the breakdown happens.

I honestly don't get why things are like this.

This is part of how I explain to me the outrage over the travel ban: people have been denial over being at war with certain countries. Travel ban makes it public - people get angry because their self-perception is challenged. (And of course there are the inconveniences of not being allowed to travel - but imo it is not completely nonsensical to limit travel from countries one is at war with).

This is the real benchmark - compare performance with real, working software instead of microbenchmarks that show a small regression (okay a fairly big one in terms of percentage) on a very specific and unrealistic use case.

I'd take 20 us performance degradation in one specific slice of code over a 50% performance increase overall any day.

edit: english in the previous sentence is bad. You know what I mean. Small regression is fine if the overall speed is much better.
I suspect it is Campari season and they are just pushing their ads around this time of the year. I also have been "spammed" with Campari ads on YouTube for no apparent reason. I don't like it. Never searched for it. But live in a country where campari-orange is a staple night-out drink.

(Edit) to complete my 'theory': Campari has been advertising a lot, including pushing its use in bars/restaurants and pushing ads online, increasing likelyhood of that coincidence to happen.

A word of warning for the author: phone numbers can be easily spoofed (like you can spoof the sender email address or the originating IP in a UDP packet).

This could turn your utility into something far more malicious than was originally intended.

The clearest memory I have, is when I was 15, debugging some hacky PHP codes for days still unable to find a solution. I dreamed that piece of code and suddenly wake up with a fix, it was a pretty nice feeling.

Also an year ago I started learning Haskell, despite reading a lot of tutorials I wasn't able to understand what a monad is. One day I woke up and find myself understood the concept. I don't remember the content of the dream, but it was a sweet dream and I slept longer than usual.

I am not sure if I have OCD, but I like coding so dreaming code is not an issue for me.
> We planned for duplication of messages

This is important. There is no "exactly once" system; you can have at-most-once where things get occasionally lost, or at-least-once where you resend things that you can't be sure have been recieved. The latter loses less data but needs methods for detecting or otherwise ignoring duplicates.

NFS goes for "idempotent operations", SMTP goes for message-IDs that can be used for deduplication.

I have worked in the network programming domain for the last few years and I also found that especially outsiders and newbies get too obsessed on pure performance figures. Especially for all networked stuff there's also a very important other key metric, which is reliability, which is only seldom taken into consideration. However reliability can have a huge impact on performance.

E.g. not implementing read/write timeouts allows to omit lots extra code (timer management, synchronization, cancellations), which improves performance. But it might bring a whole system to stop if there a few non responsive clients. Or not implementing flowcontrol through the whole chain and simply buffering at each stage can give a huge boost on the throughput metric. But sooner or later the system might go out-of-memory.

I personally now see reliability the number 1 thing you should achieve in a protocol implementation. Performance is of course also important, but should only be compared if all other parts are also comparable.
What's the point though? Wouldn't the key need to be on the server if I encrypt it? Otherwise how can my mail server even work?

7 Tips on Effectively Selling to Millennials
I have not said anything about people living in poverty. I only said that there exist an ancient tradition and related social norms, which are very real and very strong factors.

Perhaps, I failed to emphasize, that in India the "social" is much stronger aspect than Western "personal success". In India it is about finding one's place in society, instead of outperforming everyone else. That is a fundamental difference. Even the decade of third-rate western satellite TV still failed to create a significant shift into western consumerism and obsession with the cosplay of success (and the cosplay of absent intelligence, which we call hipsterism). There are some converts, of course, but not that many.

Which begs the question: What's so superficial about giving $1 million to the ACLU?

Lyft et al. have complex motives including financial gain, but that doesn't seem to detract from the fundamental good of their action. That's why I qualified it like philanthropy - we can immediately observe other motives for action (tax breaks, good standing among your wealthy peers), but these other motives don't negate any good done. The ACLU doesn't put their donations into red and green bank accounts based on who gives it.

> Learning Node.js unlocked whole paradigms I didn't understand in C#. I never really "got" functional programming

Don't get me wrong, but I'm pretty sure you still don't get functional programming, because functional programming is not practiced within the Javascript / Node.js ecosystem.

Yes, there are some exceptions here and there, some libraries like Facebook's React have FP-inspired ideas in them (even though those components are modelled with state and hence have nothing to do with FP) and working with asynchronous results signalled by callbacks is so freaking horrible that people have began using Promise abstractions sort of inspired by FP, except most of them broken. But no, unless you're into one of the languages that actively promote FP, like ClojureScript, PureScript, Elm, Scala.js, then you're probably not doing FP.

As evidence, go to GitHub, pick any sampling of Javascript projects and witness how a vast majority have nothing to do with FP.

Furthermore I think that with this argument you're proving the parent's point. If you want FP, then take the time to learn and work with one of the languages that actively promote FP and be prepared to suffer because it's not easy.

The Indian government busted an IRS scam ring in India last October. Seventy people were arrested.[1]

There's a limited form of this already - on many multicore processors if you're running a single-threaded workload then "turbo boost" or similar will allow the one running core to clock higher than normal. Not aware of the multiplexing idea being implemented, but I'm not sure how much value that would give - I suspect the overall amount of heat to be dissipated is the limiting factor more than where exactly it is in the package.

Do we have any real evidence of this? The ACLU is a very effective organization with a long history of legal challenges across the political spectrum.
