Ahahahahahaha, that would assume anyone actually learns from decades of industry mistakes. They do not. Most micro-controllers still use C and the vendor applications are only "secure" in that no one has poked around for a few minutes to discover the numerous security holes. Every year at Defcon, there are at least a few presentations about striking security flaws in security devices or IoT gear.

You just called a lot of really honorable people murderers.

Murder is unjust killing. Killing civilians to make a point or to cause chaos is, by definition, murder. Let's not equate that with all the legitimate things armed forces are for.
I worked there at the time. That line didn't go away, it lasted for days. It was reminiscent of empire strikes back. 4MB SIMMS at that time were more expensive than 4GB sticks today. People had 16MB of RAM, but that was mostly reserved to gamers and programmers. Or Macs at graphics design shops.

No, it's like saying that people who survived past infancy lived long lives.
My argument is that even small organized crime groups were capabale of sophisticated operations so it's absolutely not far-fetched to assume that they may be able to implement end-to-end encryption apps. Whether this "organized crime" is "wrong" does not make much difference. It might be even easier to find people to implement it as not many would have moral issues.

Speaking of moral issues, cheating on casino is pretty much off limits on my personal moral compass. That the attack was possible within the normal mode of operation does not make it less of a fraud. Imagine if the casino would reverse-engineer a slot machine and find a way to abuse it within the normal mode of operation, making odds (even more) in their favor. That would be fraud, plain and simple, and I don't see why a player should be held to a different standard.

You are absolutely right, not everything unlawful is wrong. But I fail to see which benefit we as a society would have by allowing exploitation of technical deficiencies in slot machines for profit. It is a crime and it is wrong in my book.

Let's say Apple hires you to work on Siri, and you discover that a certain construction of a deep neural network allows you to construct a smooth (differentiable) Turing machine which can do wonderful new things.

Then, without asking for permission, you go on to publish the details of your research.

What do you think Apple might do in this case?

How I sold my company to Apple: Jeff White, former FingerWorks CEO [Q&A] (2013)
There are a few reasons to laugh at her position.

* The UK government leads the "free world" in ignoring its own warrant process, and pursuing a "collect it all" strategy for commsec. UK citizens have no reason to trust that their government, given such access, would not abuse it. They've abused all their other access thus far.

* Privacy and Security help normal citizens and criminals alike. This is as true for a locked front door as it is for an encrypted message. We grant governments the ability to violate privacy under warrant - they may snoop, spy, enter our homes, and read our mail. We do not grant them the ability to violate security, however. They still have to pick the lock, steam the envelope, and crack the safe. These are important distinctions. We do not engineer a backdoor into all encrypted messages, for the same reason we don't mandate a government master key for all doors.

* The idea that you can legislate math out of existence is a joke.

There is one reason to cry at her position.

* They will eventually legislate this way anyway.

Personally, I don't consider using a phone number as reasonable. Usernames should be allowed for those who don't have or don't want phones.
The difference may seem subtle, but I'd argue that it is a whole other paradigm. It's one of those things that you either get, or you don't, but it might take some time to fully appreciate.

First of all, we're not an RDBMS, and don't pretend to be. I love the relational model, but there's a long-standing impedance mismatch between it and web apps that I won't go into here. There are clearly pros and cons. Our data store isn't intended as a replacement for classical relational OLTP RDBMS workflows.

If you let all apps share a single RDBMS, you're inevitably going to be tempted to put app-specific stuff in your database. This one app needs a queue-like mechanism, this other app needs some kind of atomic counter support, etc. You may even create completely app-specific tables. How do you compartmentalize anything? How do you prevent different versions of apps to stick to the same strict schema? How do you incrementally upgrade your schemas without taking down all apps? How do you create denormalized changefeeds that encompass the data of all apps? How do you institute systemwide policies like role-based ACLs, without writing a layer in stored-procedures and triggers that everything goes through? Etc. There are tons of things that are difficult to do with SQL, even with stored procedures.

I would argue that if you go down that route, you'll inevitably reinvent the "central data store pattern", but poorly.

The Generalized Mean – An Algorithmic Approach
I know you're implying that they don't care anymore, but I think over-working leads to fatigue and rush jobs/corner cutting, which is a great way to end up with security flaws.
There has been an over 10,000 year trend toward urbanization. Nothing like this has ever happened before. It can't work on so many levels.

Also consider red state economics work well for the youthful poor, too. Housing is much more affordable than places like NYC or SF or even Chicago. I live in Minneapolis. I would be taking a huge pay cut to live in a tiny place in any of these big cities. But then I don't want to move to Louisville, either.
It's funny, I have a lime tree and fig tree in my apartment, along with some other plants.

Even if not driving is not an option, there's always carpooling which should approximately halve the impact of driving alone.

We can either wait for climate change to disrupt our lives, or we can disrupt climate change.
Forgive me for the forthcoming rant, this is not a slight at you, but I really dislike the kind of attitude that you are projecting here. Al Gore famously said in his documentary that a lot of people go from Denial to Despair without pausing at the middle step of Doing Something about it.

Biking definitely can solve climate change. Seems to me that people simply do not get it through their heads that climate change starts with what they expect out of life. As long as everyone wants to drive an SUV or a fucking pickup truck because it is "safe", live 25 miles from work, own a new smartphone every two years, have a perfectly manicured front and back yard etc., we are all fucked. For too many people, climate change is a "their" problem:

* Wind turbines? Sure, just not in my backyard because it spoils my fucking view.

* Nuclear reactors? Hmm, maybe, but definitely not in my state, and preferably not in my country.

* Not travelling to exotic locations every holiday, and instead going on local hikes a bit more? No way!

* Give up owning a new smartphone every two years? Dead on Arrival.

* Wearing a sweater indoors in the winter instead of constant 25 deg C temperature indoors and 20 minute hot showers? Go fuck yourself. No, but look! I installed a Nest thermostat, so the do-gooder halo around my head is glowing bright!

* Biking to work? I can't! Live too far from home this and sweaty at work that.

Nothing but excuses. And wait! Is this uber-consumeristic lifestyle making me happier? No?! How is that possible?

Climate change is NOT a problem that more technology can solve. It is a sociological problem. A problem of what people expect out of life. As long as people keep thinking it's the politicians at fault and they don't owe anyone a damn thing, well, we'll keep on keeping on with business as usual. And you know what business as usual is? We haven't even started decreasing the rate of CO2 increase, what to talk of a zero emission civilization.

Sorry this is incoherent and comes across as a jab at you. It's not. It's just me expressing my frustration as an engineer. I hate that the layperson is convinced that it is engineering that will solve climate change, and That Technology to cure us of all ails is just around the corner. It's not. We need to stop fucking raiding this planet.
Right in the second paragraph:

> The reason for writing a pgAgent compatible job scheduler is to be able to utilize the tools already in place for pgAgent in the pgAdmin UI, minimizing the pain of switching for existing pgAgent users (uses the same database schema), and provide a more stable and feature rich implementation of the agent.

So pgAgent: https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/dev/pgagent.html is what it's supposed to be better than, but also compatible with. It uses the pgAgent database schema, and UI built into pgAdminIII/4.

Now how it's better...good point. Not very obvious to someone who isn't familiar with pgAgent already.

Everything listed under Additional Features is something which is available with jpgAgent and is not available in regular pgAgent.

So a quick list of additional features:

1. Job / job step timeouts (fail a job if it's taken longer than x time)

2. Email notifications on jobs and job steps which can notify you of the status

3. Optionally run job steps in parallel.

4. Manually kill a specific job (there is no way to do that in pgAgent)

5. Good logging (as opposed to almost non-existent logging).

6. Is an actual stable agent. It won't crash on you without warning and leave you wondering why your jobs suddenly stopped running.

Couldn't agree more. I cycle 30 km every day to work and back. When I was a student, I cycled 40km every to Uni and back. You just have to get used to it.
While I own a car, I use it maybe only once per month. To get some wood or transport some things from the IKEA.
I have to admit, I live in Amsterdam, so the infrastructure for cycling is great.
> Was it just the technological advance of Google-Matrix (Page Rank) and Map-Reduce?

Well, yes, it was simply that. It was the difference between a search engine that works and one that doesn't.
For example, most sites back then had tons of text with the same color of the background, with words that would get you an higher rank on the previous generation of search engines.
Also, the search engines had very heavy pages, mostly with news, and they were known as "portals". Google was a blast in comparison.
Having read the whole thing I think this editorial is rather silly, but you're not giving it a fair chance. The portion you quoted is the author paraphrasing someone else's argument. His very next sentence begins with the sentence "I respectfully dissent."

Regarding 9), if you're reading this you should have as many children as possible. Your high-IQ genes will be passed on to them; only the intelligent of the next generation will have the foresight and technical ability to develop real (technological) solutions to environmental problems.

It's pretty well-demonstrated that the moralistic approach to climate change, where you harangue people into recycling or biking or whatever, doesn't work. It's just trimming around the edges, leaving the core 95% of the problem untouched. People won't give up their lifestyles, and in the case of poor third-worlders it's hard to ask them to do that anyway.

If climate change is stopped, it'll be by technological solutions.

There's <10% of the world population who will be endowed with the genetic gifts to participate in this process of technical solution-making. Your kids will be among them. Make some kids.
Nest hasn't done anything significant since the smoke alarm. I'm really not sure how their leadership maintains employment. They launched that in October 2013. What company can go for 3 1/2 years, 3 of those with Google money, and do so little? There are tons of opportunities for them to launch e.g. A real home security system with window sensors, locks, a 24x7 monitoring service, more smart home devices / integrations...

The smoke alarm wasn't even a good idea. A smoke alarm is a device you hope to never have to use. It's like making a smart fire extinguisher, or a AED with Siri integration. Really unimpressed with Nest as a company.

Perhaps I phrased it poorly - what I meant was that one can view the Home Secretary's requests for less privacy as a fact of life (just as death and taxes), and could consider refusing these requests as part of civic duty. You're correct, the HS usually turns somewhat authoritarian (regardless of whether it is their job to or not) - it is simply the public's duty to resist.

My gut reaction was going to be that it fared poorly in user testing. I'd be pretty distracted by such a thing and prone to idly watching it :-D
Nope. It takes at least a couple months of doing daily pentests to become proficient at finding vulns. As to why it can't be automated, it takes a book to answer that. I'd recommend The Web Application Hacker's Handbook, along with The Tangled Web.

There are things you can do, of course. But unless your app is basically read-only, there are almost always one or two noteworthy vulns.
I guess it's supposed to be better than pgagent. Whatever that is.
IF you can buy an acre, please definitely do so. That will do more to help than almost anything else. On the other hand, the typical 2.5 kid family in Suburbia that drives even to the grocery store? They're better off moving to the city.
A marriage should end when either of the parties want it to end, or else it's no longer consensual. I don't believe in forcing people to stay married. But divorce still needs to mean splitting the finances so nobody is left destitute and without skills for employment. Alimony was invented for a reason. Before it existed, divorce was immensely cruel.

There's also a grey area where someone does something horrible and clearly politically motivated (shooting Reagan or Senator Giffords, shooting at Ft. Hood) and that person has mental health issues.

It's an in-database cron pretty much... info here if you're interested: https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/dev/pgagent.html
I don't have a specific definition of "microservices", nor do I think anyone does.

The central data store pattern arguably makes apps even more "micro", albeit at the expense of adding a dependency on the store. But the opposite pattern is to let each microservice have its own datastore, so you already have a dependency there.

It's just moving it out and inverting the API in the process; for many apps, the data store becomes the API. For example, we have an older microservice that manages users, organizations (think Github orgs, but hierarchical) and users' membership in those orgs. It has its own little Postgres database, and every API call is some very basic CRUD operation. We haven't rewritten this app to use our new data store yet, but when we do, the entire app goes away, because it turns out it was just a glorified gateway to SQL. A verb such as "create an organization" or "add member to organization" now becomes a mere data store call that other apps can perform directly, without needing a microservice to go through.
storage haven't been solved and a large part of the entire economy is based on debt in the fossile fuel industry. renewables are not destroying the deman for nuclear as the worlds energy demand will continue to rise quite substantially as 1 billion people enter the middle class over the next decades.

Greece is such a fascinating country. A few years ago I visited The Acropolis, and relative to the US, it really is mind-blowing to see a structure that's several thousand years old.
Yeah, a good player could stop it with proper scouting. Against average players I've had a lot of success, though - once they find your main base, they focus tanks and vultures on it and stop scouting other areas. They almost never seem interested in scouting other areas. If you build up carriers in secret on a side base, they don't realize what's coming, and by the time they finish off your main base you have a sizeable fleet.

Of course they'll try to rush your expansion and pump out goliaths and turrets, but by that time it's usually too late. Even a handful of turrets and goliaths aren't going to give 8-10 fully upgraded carriers much trouble, and their turrets and goliaths are going to have simply too much space to cover (all of the production at the original base, but all the minerals coming from expansions). With a bit of skill and using the terrain to your advantage, it's pretty easy to pick them apart.

At least, that's what worked for me. I guess everyone needs to find a strategy that suites them. If you find Terrans to be the best race, play as Terrans.
IMO only the last of the three flaws is something that would be practically exploitable by a burglar. The rest, while poor coding practices and do illustrate some flaws with the system are not likely that a burglar would exploit.
