You should see my ansible playbooks for our Windows Server systems, I don't mind PowerShell per-se but it takes a lot more effort to get anything done compared to my CentOS systems where I can template a config file and be done with it.

I really hope our vendors start supporting .Net Core soon, the SDK for our ECM software is the only reason we're still stuck on the full framework and having to manage a bunch of Windows VM's for our integration software...
I'm always curious about how things like this would do if an effort was made to market it to the general populace. The makers are all amped about the underlying tech (and rightfully so), but it's a hard thing to really care about outside that niche space. What if you hid all the underlying tech, layered on a good UX, and spoke to the value proposition?

Something I have a hard time understanding, is how Cloudfare's cache generator page had access to sensitive information ?

Were the 2 things running on the same process? If they were not, there's no way that the buffer overrun could read an other process memory, right? it would have failed with a segfault type of error.

If so, shouldn't Cloudfare consider running the sensitive stuff on a different process, so that no matter how buggy their caching engine is, it would never inadvertently read sensitive information?
I've seen a lot of people including recruiters talk about how this is a terrible idea. But then I see this and folks like patio11 talking about similar negotiating strategies. How do I know which one is right?

There, you're doing it again! You are purposefully seeking to distort the truth, and I don't really understand why you are doing so. Nobody is seeking to 'downplay rape' – an obvious dog-whistle accusation – and instead I reckon people generally want to understand if there is a problem, and if there is, then why there is a problem.

The problems with what you are doing are:

1. You are citing a right-wing think tank. I know that all sources have bias, but this is not even pretending to be an objective one. It's a poor source for data.

2. That think tank bases it's analysis on UN data which explicitly points out that it is not suitable for direct international comparison.

I do not personally know if an increase in immigration in Sweden's resulted in more sexual violence, but I am absolutely certain that we will not figure that out using the sort of facile "why do you love rapists so much" shit that you are spewing.

Well, as nice as that sounds on paper, there's a reason we use reverse-proxies in the first place. It's because it turns out that opening anything up to the web is a whole can of worms of exploits, malformed requests, differently complying useragents, tons of standard, nonstandard, and "crazy off the wall bullshit" headers, and a LOT more.

Greenfield writing a new safe reverse proxy that works within a magnitude of performance of something like nginx is a monumental effort. Not to mention the chicken-and-egg problem of how nobody will trust it until it has significant usage which it won't get until some people trust it.

"It really isn't like that everywhere in North America"

I totally agree. America is a big place, so is Europe. It's varied.

But I would say, on the whole that EU is far more 'enclave-ish' than the US.

In fact, Europe is a big patchwork of ethnic enclaves.

America is not. People identify a lot less with their identity.

And yes, for sure, some people, i.e. Orthodox Jews, Mennonites etc. are different.

How you decide what's right for you is a personal decision. But when it comes to salary negotiation, you can be sure the company is very much working to do what's right for itself and its shareholders, and I think you should similarly be just as focused on doing what's right for you.

Negotiating your salary is better for you. Disclosing your current salary or desired salary when asked is worse for you and better for the company.

I wrote this article specifically to help folks understand the interview and negotiation processes better so they could make a more informed decision about what's right for them.

Does this help? I'm happy to clarify - just let me know!

I agree with your opinion. Why visit a country that elected a President that completely opposes immigrants coming into his country? USA's President has made it very clear that the country doesn't want any immigrants. I know that he's facing a lot of backlash and most people here would say that they're not with the same view as Trump, but guess what? Trump calls the shots for at least the next 4 years. It is extremely saddening, but the United States government is officially showing immigrants the finger.

So when you said, "at the lowest level it's a collection of typing and computation rules which one can apply successively to do proofs and constructions", That was what Chinjut meant by "Homotopy Type Theory axiomatizes weak omega groupoids; it gives you formal rules you can manipulate to reason about weak omega groupoids"? That is, those lowest-level rules don't assume weak omega groupoids; they turn out to define weak omega groupoids?

Let us consider, for a moment, what biases the Swedish government may have:

First, they want to make it look as though their policy choices have had positive outcomes.

Second, they want to retain support for the current leading political power groups. The top 3 parties are the Swedish Social Democrat Party, the Moderate Party, and the Sweden Democrats. The latter two support tougher immigration laws, but they are mostly outweighed by the first. The PM (who recently made comments denying any attacks) is a member of the social democrats.
Also within the job itself, overengineering (a typical vice of intermediate level coders) is the root of, well, much evil.

Perhaps if you did the British would not have robbed your country blind. Unlike almost every? Country on this planet our constitution was written to protect the people from the government.

Giving your citizens the RIGHT to keep and use arms is a vital part of ensuring freedom and that tyranny by government or invading armies is terminated at the will of the people.

Would the British have invaded India had everyone been armed like the US citizenry is? I seriously doubt it. The army would have been liquidated by the people in short order. It would be suicide to invade a country of that many armed people.

This is why we have a right to own them. Because armies invade and governments become tyrannies.

Intel's FDIV bug was an outlier. Besides, nowadays most of the ISA is implemented in microcode[1]. There are two advantages to this approach: 1) it is much easier to verify the microcode unit (it's simpler/smaller), and 2) it allows CPU vendors to "fix" ISA implementation issues post-release by issuing microcode updates.

[1]: ISA => microcode is equivalent in some respects to C => LLVM IR
No, they essentially work to solve the same problem in different ways.

Hi, I am Izu, and I created irentaway (wcky domain name i know).

Background story: We all find love in unexpected places don't we? Recently in law school, I met this really amazing girl who loves sending me text messages (SMS) and always insists I do same. Generally I have no idea how to come up with love texts messages and this usually led to some friction.

Why not use others: Using all the message apps out there is really cumbersome because you have to search through to find a decent enough message. Same also with googling.

Why you need this: Serendipity is the beauty of life. Receiving text message suggestions without actively searching could make you that spontaneous lover your partner has always dreamed about.

Well Python is a portable layer of the scientific code written in C/C++/Fortran and a better bash. The reason projects like Pandas, Tensorflow etc. uses it is because it is extremely easy to write a script like code in it that does the heavy lifting in the aforementioned languages. If you had to implement Pandas (more specifically DataFrames) in pure Python it would be extremely slow. With other words Python is an excellent glue languages. I quite often see that people implement complete systems in pure Python when they realise it is too slow or to complex to be maintained. Go at least fast and has proper concurrency while Rust and Haskell are properly typed and supposedly safe. I am not sure if any of these are competitors of Python though.

That page was way more accessable than plenty of sites I have seen. I mean content shows up even if you don't have Javascript enabled or Flash installed. That alone puts it way ahead of a huge number of websites.
That wouldn't work in this case: it only works with lists where every element is also a list and it only flattens one level deep.

With these constraints, there are quite a few interesting techniques, for example in Scheme you can apply append:

(apply append list-of-lists)

or in Python you can use reduce with add operator:

reduce(op.add, list_of_lists) # op == operator module

And anyway, even if it's not the constrained version, the solution is indeed trivial, for example in Erlang:

flatten(L) -> flatten(L, []).

flatten([], Acc) -> Acc;
flatten([[] | T], Acc) -> flatten(T, Acc);
flatten([[_|_]=H | T], Acc) -> flatten(T, Acc ++ H);
flatten([X | T], Acc) -> flatten(T, Acc ++ [X]).

(please don't mind the inefficient use of ++, it's a toy example...)

It can get a bit more complex in a statically typed language, especially if you want to have static guarantees (no down-casting from Object), but it's still doable in a couple of minutes...

...is what this post - and discussion - is not about.

It's trivial once you get it, of course. But it's also true that it's almost impossible to figure it out on your own during a stressful interview if you didn't get it beforehand. It's so easy to forget that. We all once struggled with some concepts, and we all went through many discoveries of facts, techniques, and skills we didn't know existed, much less that we needed them.

What I want to say is that the beginners who fail to answer this question are not bad, they are just beginners. It's ok to reject them right now, but it's not ok to post an article suggesting that "programmers find it hard to solve trivial problems even with my help". It's not programmers, but beginner programmers; it's not trivial problem, just relatively widely known one; and it may well be the help was insufficient.

I lived in Japan for a number of years, speak Japanese, am married to a Japanese citizen, and am a software engineer. I loved living in Japan, but there is a reason I don't live or work there anymore.

My biggest problem with Japan is the corporate culture, which values butt-in-chair MUCH more than actual work.

Second to that was the pay. I doubled my salary by coming back to America, and my cost of living went down as well. I still like visiting Japan, and I may go there when I retire, but I would never work there again. The corporate culture is just too nanny-like and the pay is utter crap.
Mass production of meaningless articles is the worst thing about Trump. It has saturated the media around the world and further lowered the bar of journalism. I really hope people (and especially the media) will learn to ignore him, to take away his power.

> It was pretty sad that when OpenStack became relevant in the industry that seemed to cause a panic at NASA and they pulled completely out of OpenStack development.

As I understand the sequence of events, NASA didn't pull out of OpenStack because they got cold feet, the folks at NASA who drove the contribution of code from the Nebula project that became OpenStack Nova started to see $$$ and went off with the rest of their code to found the OpenNebula project as well as the OpenNebula Systems company.

The folks remaining at NASA were then left with an unpalatable choice of picking favorites between a consortium of vendors and a spin-off.
The method seemed to be specifically selected to implicate only one person, without any direct evidence that could prove that he ordered it. It's already bad enough to execute political rivals in your own territory, but when you go and do a public "message" assassination in another country, people might start to think you may be too dangerous to be a head of state--even those in your nominally allied states.

The best that can be said about it is that at least it was a plan that actually worked. The infamous "Operation Mongoose" attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro, including the exploding cigars, seem more like episodes of a reality show about trying to assassinate Castro than actual murder plots. In this episode, Felix Leiter puts tuberculosis in Castro's scuba wetsuit. In this episode, Jack Ryan convinces Castro's ex-girlfriend Marita to poison him. In this episode, Tamara Knight tries to shave off Castro's beard and draw a dickbutt on his forehead. In this episode, Sam Fisher puts a gigantic snap trap on Castro's palace patio, and baits it with a can of New Coke. In this episode, Sterling Archer steals Castro's "World's Best Dictator" coffee mug, and replaces it with a poisoned red Solo cup. In this episode, Maxwell Smart removes the non-slip strips from the bottom of Castro's bathtub and gives him a basket of scented bath oil beads.

In contrast, North Korea's plan is "wipe military-grade nerve agent all over his face." Maybe setting it up to look like an episode of a prank-based reality show was an attempt to frame the CIA?
