However, the question is "if Google can find this, why couldn't Microsoft?" Which is an entirely reasonable question.

Your statement would also make it unreasonable for Google to be able to find this stuff, but we have existence proof that that's not the case.
They really should have, but this is understandable. Old vector formats are always a security nightmare

- The original parsers / renderers where written on single user systems and focussed on rendering speed. They didn't anticipate hostile files.

- The original developers are long gone.

- EMF files were never popular on websites.

I would argue that their real mistake was adding EMF / WMF support to IE in the first place. It made sense to developers because it was only a few lines of code, but it was a terrible decision for security.
I use a similar mu4e setup and it's great. Instead of offlineimap however I use mbsync (née isync) because it's faster when chugging through thousands of emails.

It was a $30 million settlement.
The problem with Java+XML isn't XML itself, it's that the Java community for a long time was pushing more and more critical code into XML, because doing non-trivial dynamic things in Java itself can be a huge pain. And so over time, enterprise Java apps became giant balls of XML+Java that would break at runtime if you missed an XML parameter or had a stray character somewhere. At that point, what benefit are you getting from Java's static typing? You lose much of the benefits of Java, and suffer twice as much from its drawbacks.

This is slightly better with the push away from XML and toward annotations, but it's not much better. Your program's behavior still depends on tagging the right language constructs with the right magic tags, which is a horrible way to program IMO.

I believe a lot of people really like it, but it was more an issue that game reviewers got A LOT of flak if they didn't give the game a 9+/10 (at a time when point reviews were more of a thing than now).

I don't think many people thought it was bad, only that it wasn't THAT good, and that seemed to upset some hardcore Zelda fans at the time, and in various parts of the internet, possibly still.

You can google for "Twilight Princess Jeff Gerstmann review" for example. He gave the game "only" an 8.8.

I agree. I think by that point, all the die hard Nintendo fans will likely have picked up a Switch, and then most of the buyers will be "normals", and it's interesting to see what they would choose.

Yeah, developing in Scala is great. My whole team (including me) had never used Scala before, we set up a weekly study group, had no problems becoming productive in the language in a few weeks.

I understand that not everyone has this experience, and would love to see more/better tutorials for Scala come out, but I've definitely seen several people pick it up without any problems.
Yes, plenty of sarcasm.
Noo!!!

This is vulnerable to path expansion attacks. If someone passes a URL such as your site/s3/..EVIL_BUCKET/EVIL.js all of a sudden your site is serving someone else's content. Bad idea. Use virtual host style buckets instead, i.e S3_bucket.S3host/content.

For a large part this is really old, badly written code that is scary to clean up because the functionality is underspecified. A lot of programs that Microsoft wants to continue working depend on weird features in it.

But for real, yeah, always talk to a lawyer if you have questions. However, this is NOT unique to this situation. Open source licensing is essentially fucked. Too many people with opinions on what it means and almost no (if any?) case law on the topic.

I love OSS, I love open source. I like that Richard Stallman exists in the world. However, the flip is that most ardent and staunch people who take excessively hardline stances on licenses are trading in exceedingly nuanced hair-splitting and increasing bike shed (define "is") discussions at best or their own version of OSS licensing FUD at worst.

But, if your company depends on OSS and you don't know, talk to a lawyer of course.
You can't fathom it.

A fathom is the distance between fingertips. "To fathom" in a literal sense is either wrap your arms around an object to measure its size, or to drop a weighted rope to the seafloor, and haul it up, counting one fathom for each double-arm-length of rope hauled in. "To fathom" in a figurative sense is to acquire more than superficial knowledge of a topic--to attain a full depth of understanding. To be unable to fathom something is literally being unable to wrap your arms around it, and figuratively unable to wrap your mind around it.

A phantom is an intangible apparition like a ghost or specter. It is not usually used as a verb, but if it were, the meaning would probably be similar to "to ghost", which is either to work invisibly or to vanish suddenly, without warning or explanation. As an adjective, it means that the modified word does not truly exist.

People in the US are still very class-aware, even if they are not obviously racist. Anecdotally, at a pool party in her suburban McMansion subdivision, I overheard a black grandmother express dismay at the possibility that someone might build a high-density apartment building in the neighboring cattle pasture, because they attract (literal quote) "that kind of people." Nobody wants poor people in their neighborhood, because it is presumed that even if they don't steal anything they can pick up, they will crash all the property values in the surrounding area.

As someone not particularly fond of driving a car, I would love to be able to get around on public transportation, like I did in Chicago. But that requires density to be cost-effective, and for too many people, density equates to too many poor people living near their stuff. So it's more of a two-part process. The mass transit and the housing density go hand in hand, and the NIMBYs are afraid of both.
Replying to both you and 'oelang.

I didn't say Scala was inconsistent, only that it felt as such. I've lost access to that codebase since the end of my participation in the project, so I won't provide you with code examples, but the project was using most of the language features available to date (2015). Maybe "inconsistent" is a wrong word. "Messy" would be better. I've been familiar with many of the concepts in Scala from other languages, and here it felt like they were glued together with gratuitous use of syntax and implicit type conversions.

I apologize if my previous comment didn't state it clearly enough, but I'm talking about my impressions of the language here. I'm convinced that after enough time, the whole package starts to make sense and becomes a very powerful tool in one's hands (I have a reverse situation with pre x11 C++ - it was the first programming language I really learned, so all its idiosyncrasies people like to complain about felt completely obvious and justified to me).

One day I hope to immerse myself in type theory deep enough to actually understand the underpinning of Scala better.

I am a long time Java developer and, believe it or not, regularly write important new product features in concise, performant Java 8.

I have looked at Scala time and time again and am not sure what to think. It is currently a popular choice for big data munging -- I'm into Apache Flink and most Flink jobs are way easier to read when written in Scala VS. Java.

But I also feel like Scala requires more decisions per line of code than Java, which makes it a more demanding day-to-day language. Also, it seems to have lots of dark corners. But these are really my impressions based on limited experience, so I am likely wrong.

Also, my limited experience indicates that IDE support for Scala is quite behind that of Java.

But I am still open to it.

To get to my point, actually my question: Where should I look to learn quality, ideomatic Scala?

My preference would be to focus on small example programs that do one thing well while demonstrating the correct, native use of Scala.

Thank you.

> Kubernetes is a component...while Docker is a platform which integrates many components...So Docker and Kubernetes are not directly competitive

I wonder whether this is a distinction that exists in your mind, as someone intimately involved in the development of the docker tool and the Docker, Inc business model more so than in the minds of Docker users. You have a vested interest in making Docker encompass all that Docker, Inc produces. For many of us, this is actually against our interests. A lot of us want Docker to just be the base containerization layer with other offerings (like k8s, swarm, etc) built on top of it and branded separately. Continually adding more to the docker base layer adds confusion in the minds of people who don't follow Docker closely, makes it harder to get it approved for use in our organizations and increases the security footprint that needs to be audited.

I won't speak for others, but it would make my life much easier if you'd build (and name) your offerings on top of the base containerization tool like everyone else rather than trying to stuff everything into one tool with one name. You have no idea how hard some of us have had to fight inside our organizations to simply deploy builds inside containers. Increasing the scope of what Docker means is just giving ammunition to our internal opponents.

I understand why you're doing what you're doing...there's no money in developing that base layer unless you can parlay it into selling the other parts of your platform, but just understand that what you're doing isn't really user-friendly and many users won't pliantly go along with whatever marketing decisions you make. Like it or not, Docker is an ecosystem, not a platform. It has a life of its own that you're only partially able to shape. You have the advantage of being able to shape the roadmap for the underlying containerization layer and the goodwill that comes from putting in the work to have created initially and maintain that layer on an ongoing basis. That should be enough without leveraging it further.
You just listed a bunch of reasons why your Enterprise should not be using Docker.

EDIT: I did not realize it was per node pricing. I take back mostly everything I said below. I hope that ultimately when Docker does provide 3 years of support, you'll be willing to pay up.

Look at the pricing, even the biggest Enterprise plan is $2000/yr. This is aimed at small consultancies, startups and small businesses, etc that are tired of sending their developers into the docker github issues to log bugs and argue features.

When Docker adds a plan that satisfies your Enterprise, you'll be paying typical Enterprise prices that will be at least an order of magnitude larger than the current biggest plan. Hopefully you are able to put your money where your mouth is.
Well, as i mentioned in my post, you don't (at least, you don't by questioning them at TSA). It's too silly of a thing to even ask, as it's easily avoided by the would-be terrorist.

3DMark's Physics section is a pure CPU parallel benchmark (also known as "buy 6950X to win"), not a game-like benchmark.

To be fair, he seems to be speaking about the socially developed part of the western world. Fairly decent to very good quality universal healthcare is available in large parts of western Europe, Japan, Canada... Even large parts of eastern Europe have (the remains of) somewhat decent universal healthcare thanks to their socialist past.

It's fairly clear that there isn't even support in the current US ruling class for universal healthcare. That makes anything even remotely like basic income largely irrelevant there.
To Fork, or to PR; thats the question
Hello,

What i want to discuss here and maybe in the end can come out with a manual about "The Etiquette of Open Source" is how to approach various situation when doing open source software. For example, some of the questions i constantly face are:

- What is the best practice to define if you should PR the original repo or fork from it ? What if the original repo has no activity anymore or is not maintained by the author (sometime this is even clearly stated by the author)
- What is the Etiquette to maintain the original authors rights when forking ? How can you define his contribution ? is it based on the code yo exactly copied, the idea, the architecture ?
- How to handle cases when there are no license information attached ?
- How to handle PRs/forks when you work merges/combines more than one original repo ?
- How to handle cases when conflicting licenses are used across repos that you have referenced ?

I look forward for your comments and insights

Heh, nice idea, pay them. With what money? Even Switzerland would have a really difficult time with that. The problem with small countries is that, well, they are small and poor. Even if you pay small wages, 200k is still a lot of paychecks, that has to be funded from taxes to the small population.

For the record, I am against military conscription.
I'll definitely consider 1800X for my movie rendering/machine learning rig, especially if they confirm ECC functionality. 40 PCI-E lanes would be better, but I can live with 2x x8 GPUs and only one x4 SSD for machine learning.

Interesting would be 4C/8T parts - if they can run them cool (given 8C/16T 1700 uses 65W I think it's not unreasonable), they probably can clock them to get to 7700k parity at 95W.
Our motto is "batteries included but removable". We make sure the platform works great out of the box, and offers a smooth integrated experience. That is a big differentiator for Docker.

At the same time, we also make sure you can pop the hood, mess with the components directly, and swap them out in various ways. You can do this within the Docker ecosyste with Docker plugins (for things like networking, storage, logging, authorization); or you can do it outside the ecosystem by hitting the low-level open-source components directly: containerd/runc, swarmkit, notary, libnetwork, infrakit.. All these components are usable standalone, and Docker preserves the loose coupling.

You're right that currently Docker does not offer swappable orchestration - not because we don't want to, but because it's hard to do that without affecting the quality of the platform. Sometimes excessive abstraction leads to bad engineering.

In early versions of Docker Swarm we experimented with pluggable support for Mesos, Kubernetes etc. It worked in demos but we didn't find it fit for production.

I hope this helps understand our approach better.
Looks like you figured it out. If not, I did actually see someone about a month ago mention in a comment here, that they may or may not be in possession of a Reddit account. I'll take a look and see if I can find the original comment. Maybe someone else has seen.
Sorry sarcasm wasn't apparent. I despise the costs associated with healthcare in US. Often, outsourcing happens because healthcare costs of an aging department shoots up and company cannot fire the employees because of higher insurance costs.

Hence, outsource --> downsize --> feign realization that "oh outsourcing sucks" --> hire younger team with less costs for insurance.

I think this is largely a San Francisco problem. In most US cities, you have a car (which is probably cheaper than $850/mo? Certainly can be if you want it to be.) In NYC, and a few other American cities, there's a subway system. For example, I take the subway to and from work every day for ~$150/mo or something. It takes about 30 minutes.

It's kind of shocking to me how bad the public transit is in San Francisco when I go there. I think from a consumer perspective, your best bet is to get involved in politics.

Windwaker at 720p is still one of the most amazing looking games I've ever played. Nintendo has always had this right, with a priority on style and look rather than pushing maximum polygons. They know how to make good games that look great and that's always been more important than the underlying hardware power.

Fair enough, you've crushed my dreams of being a constitutional scholar. ;- )

Yeah, I generally think that religious tests are repugnant. Though there's the issue of Islam being a fancy religion with all the bells and whistles, such as an immutable holy language, a political ideology, a broad jurisprudence, and a warlord-prophet elevated nearly to the level of its god. I think it should be fair to ask if they hold any of the views which are obviously incompatible with 21st century western society; tossing gay people off high places like rooftops and cliffs, instituting a religious tax against non-muslims, humiliating the outgroup in the street (which is a much broader definition of humiliate than you normally use, probably includes sexual assault).

I'm in a bit of a pickle with my own principles; because none of this should happen in principle, but the intention is largely valid.
