So let me get this straight... Basically this guy is trying to champion one of two things:

- Yet another attempt to emulate a full OS-level network stack on top of HTTP (which already runs on top of TCP/IP).

- Giving random web-pages access to RAW OS-level networking, and not just sockets, from untrusted internet JS.

How incredibly ass backwards am I if I find both proposals preposterous and dangerous?

I'm confused. Since when did Google decide what was web-standards? Is he deliberately mistaking Google for being W3C?
Reminds me of my first job at a world leading RnD organisation when I took the test code that the lead engineer on a fluids mixing project had written and added some sensible prompts.

His original Code was cli program who's sole prompt was ?

You had to enter integers , 1, 2 3 etc to select the next option - the possibilities for errors where immense - by this time we had scaled to 1:1 tests where the chemicals for a run could cots over 10K£ per run
How much feedback do they get from this practice though?

If you were a 'bad' border protection agent, and you let everyone through, how do you learn? And equally if you select people for secondary interrogation that are allowed to enter, how does that feed back to you?

I guess I'm curious to know a bit more about how the organisation is structured, as there's equivalent in tech discussions, "Ten years experience vs. one years experience ten times." Without some structure to know when you're doing it wrong or right, you can be talking to people for 40 hours a week and not get much out of it.

That sounds a bit extreme. The US is bad, but it's not the worst place I have ever been. Also don't drag the rest of us in with you, it's selfish and petty that you would have people lose their jobs over what you perceive as a embarrassment from reading things on the internet.
I wonder why didn't he take a VWB instead of a VWT? It may have saved some hassle.

I don't remember exactly how it works, but last time I visited the USA for a conference, I think I ticked the 'business' box. I still got the awful interrogation they do, but I think everyone's noticed that's been standard for a few years now.
It doesn't need the shift because it retrieves the result of the first imul from edx, which contains the upper word of the result. The lower word is placed in eax, which this code completely ignores.

That's not what "fuck you" money means.
https://www.quora.com/What-is-fuck-you-money
"fuck you money" is something different - it's the amount of wealth you need (varying per individual) where you can comfortably say "fuck you" to a particular job or opportunity or proposal someone makes to you if you don't want to do it. I believe the term you're looking for is something like "chump change"
Also: that cost is certain to drop, and it might drop quite quickly - simply due to software and hardware improvements. If anything algorithmic shows up, it could change dramatically. Let's not wait for that to happen.

I have implemented TLS on UDP. Basically to implement an EAP-TTLS authentication service which sets up a TLS tunnel over EAP over RADIUS over UDP. I can attest that is "doable" but is horrendously complicated. Not just to implement but to monitor and debug.

It "works" in the case of EAP because you're never sending more than a few datagrams at a time, and if one gets lost it's not a huge tragedy to have to start the whole process again ... but, I can't imagine this being feasible for more continuous data-transfers such as streaming data "oops you lost a packet - sorry you'll have to re-establish your TLS session again"

I did notice the DTLS thing lying around when I was browsing the OpenSSL source but as another commenter says it's not that popular and presumably suffers many of the same complications.

I don't disagree, but is there really a problem with that if you get the design you want for the price you want? If you are talking something like a couch, then yeah you will have problems. But I have an Ikea table I use as a desk that is just laminated particle board with metal legs and it has served me just fine for the past 7 years (Along with going through two moves.) It is no longer my main desk, but it still functions and looks fine.

I'd say a majority of furniture in anyone's house gets very little actual wear and tear. Couches, chairs, beds - sure. But coffee tables, end tables, nightstands, bookshelves, tv cabinets, tables?

Relevant: A lot of the documents reference the "SARA" project, which was the code name for the ill-fated Apple III.

It makes sense, I don't think anyone could realistically expect anything different. Considering it's basically a starting negotiating position, it's actually pretty good from my perspective (EU national who has formally been granted permanent residency by exercising his treaty rights).

Obviously the devil is in the details, i.e. what it will mean exactly "after the cutoff date": if one has lived in UK long enough to qualify for treaty-rights but never actually exercised them formally before the cutoff, can he still do it after that date? That's the situation most people are likely in, at the moment. A reasonable government would answer yes, of course, but recent news seem to indicate they are looking for any excuse to kick people out, so it's not a given.

If you are an EU citizen living in UK, you should absolutely ask to exercise your rights TODAY; do not delay, do not trust news reports, it's just a bit of bureaucracy but could make a big difference in your future. Make sure you send documents as recorded delivery and track each and every date.

If you are an EU citizen looking to move to the UK: just don't. This country has decided they don't need you and me, they don't deserve our labour, our ideas and our taxes.
I think it could be possible to launch the rocket from space, using a booster of some kind to get it out of Earth's gravity. The bigger problems, I think, are (1) navigation, given that we don't have precise measurements of how those planets are moving, and a rocket with such slow acceleration can't just turn on a dime; and (2) maintenance and repair during a decades-long journey at ludicrous speed.

The probe would have to be self-navigating to a certain extent, because we can't locate and measure the exoplanets with precision and won't be able to communicate in near-real-time to guide it in. It would have to be built for long endurance and have the capability to repair itself, too.

The final practical problem is that we wouldn't know for decades whether the probe had been successful, partially successful, or a total waste of time. It could land on an exoplanet and do wonderful science but not be able to communicate due to a broken radio. Or it could blow up in year one and we might not notice.

I suspect the first insterstellar probes instead will be inexpensive and disposable "fire and forget it" types launched with a booster rocket (maybe like the one Elon Musk is building) and no intention of decelerating or landing. They might spend centuries in flight and be designed to send pictures and data back to whoever might be listening in the future. If they're cheap enough and we have extra thrust, I could see rich people and governments launching these in hopes of a sort of future glory, knowing that each individual probe faces long odds but a thousand of them should produce at least a few winners.

About 7 years ago, I had a technology job that was sucking the life out of me. I started to push back and they fired me. This was good because I could get unemployment.

I spent 6 months on unemployment looking for jobs that I would care about and something that would let me lead a less stressful life.

After the unemployment ran out I started working at a
Starbucks.

This was a life saver.

It was fast paced. They were always changing some process. It taught me to be flexible and roll with whatever. I got to talk with customers everyday. I could be making coffee and look down the whole line of people, out the door, and know each and every drink to make. I worked hard, but it was fun.

A customer that I would see daily offered me a job after a year at Starbucks. I still have this job. It has allowed me to move to a happier state where I live on a lake and life isn't so faced paced.

Nixon, Obama, Trump, and the Dying Credibility of the US Media
It makes me almost feel sad for the people that followed the "why bother doing a CS degree, you can learn to code without one" trend that probably peaked and is now maybe beginning to die a slow death as the market is flooded with people who can write code.

If they ever want to transition into DS they're going to have to skill up and do the equivalent of undergrad CS math curriculum (discrete, calculus, linear algebra, math stats, etc.), which let's be honest, you cannot pick this up in any meaningful way in a "few months" of after hours/weekend study like you can when learning to program or learning some new "framework"; either that or just remain another dime-a-dozen code-cutter. It's sad because if you just did the 4 years of computer science and all the math and the stats that go with it you'd be so close to pivoting right now if you wanted to.
Yes, of course there is obviously some correlation between demographics and car ownership. But this paper makes it seem that their method is good to replace a in-the-field census.

Basically, replacing all demographic data that the census brings with the single factor of car ownership. In the region where the actual correlation is less than 90%, the data generated is completely useless.

Ok, but physics has had a long and fruitful history of inventing invisible stuff when theory and results disagree. I mean, have you ever seen an atom? A proton? A neutrino?

Scientific theories are generally not just amalgamations of tweaks. General relativity is internally consistent, explains so much, and just got a huge boost last year with the first detection of gravity waves... which BTW are invisible stuff that was invented based on theory. It is not lightly cast aside.

I think the point is whether it's a good allocation of resources.

Lets say you have two borders. One has a cursory check of documentation, so allows people to sail through. This costs 2X to man. Another has a more interactive exchange, but each interaction takes longer, so costs 5X to man.

So you either pay 5X, or 2X and then have 3X to do something else with. Could you use that 3X to better protect the border through pro-active investigation and analysis?

Hugo 0.19 Released: Native Emacs Org-Mode Support
This story follows a pattern of coordinated attacks on public services in The Guardian and other left leaning media outlets. Usually with the agenda of demanding more money and funding.

No doubt, mistakes happen in large bureaucracies but the story is usually slanted as some evil agency trying to destroy certain 'marginalised' sections of society. Whereas the truth is probably nothing like that.

I cannot help but think it is agenda pushing, distortion of facts and playing on emotions. Read the woman's original article and see the emotional language and phrases used. I think it says a lot about the intent of these media pieces.

Read the linked Centrelinks response and several things are refuted, so why in these comments is there an automatic pile on one side?

Player position is not very critical in WoW or similar games. Combat is mostly selecting an enemy and attacking it. Or selecting enemy and casting a ranged spell. The game is designed with this server lag in the mind.

Servers can easily sync player positions once per second and the clients would happily interpolate between prev & current positions. You are probably seeing things a little late/different than server but it does not matter.

The agents must be looking for reasons to deny entry rather than reasons to admit, since that's what the law (e.g. [1]) has always required them to do.

If you come in with a tourist visa, the explicit legal presumption (opposite to presumption of innocence in criminal law) is that you're not fulfilling the conditions of the visa and actually intend to immigrate or work in USA, and the job given to the immigration officer is to interview you until (and if!) they become convinced that you really do meet the conditions - and if they aren't sure one way or another, then it's their duty to deny entry. It's not a new change coming in with Trump, it's that how USA immigration (sadly) works by design.

> What I said is true for almost every kind of game. POV of the camera has nothing to do with it.

You misundrestood what I'm talking about, I'm not talking about the camera position, I'm talking about different games like turn based games, chess, board games, etc..

Lockstep is out of the scope here, surely not needed in a chess game. I'm talking deterministic games here.

> What I said is true for almost every kind of game. POV of the camera has nothing to do with it.

Again, out of scope, I'm saying UDP is not the answer to all games and the assumption that if a game is networked then you should go with UDP is naive as I'm trying to say, forget open world, forget FPS, think about a simple turn based game.

> P.S. It's not a good idea to call someone naive about a subject where you yourself may not know enough to correctly judge naivete.
