It's also kind of a garbage argument.

People who know they have broken kernels don't keep upgrading them, they stop and fix them.

People who don't know they have broken kernels also don't know they can boot with an older kernel, so they get nothing from the "backup".

We want to leave some time for people to realize their kernel is broken, so keeping three is probably just fine. Honestly, it would probably be adequate to just bump the oldest one off the queue whenever a newer one is requested. If you've got a tiny boot partition, maybe that means only two revisions. If you've got a huge boot partition it could be 20.

But just keeping them all and making people manually uninstall them gains you nothing, it's user-hostile for no reason.

A lot of the push for healing is really about a belief that the other side would agree with you if they just had all the facts. That what's holding back agreement is educational in nature.

I don't think this is true, to state it mildly, but a lot of modern politics (and nearly every smart-aleck tweet ever written) makes a lot more sense when viewed through this lens.
Yeah I used to use Atom. I know Vim is what I should use for "lean" but it's not easy to use. I did see some pretty themes 'space wrap' or something like that.
My biggest concern, as with the Google Code shutdown, is wondering how much obscure code is going to end up lost to time.

For .NET projects, open source code is growing, but still pretty rare. A lot of times when looking for stuff I end up on CodePlex. So the biggest question for me is going to be: How many old abandoned projects actually do get migrated.
This looks really nice.

Your link to 'report a problem' 404s – I was going to send the following feedback:

When you create a syntax error, the input box turns red. But it appears that it stays red even after the error is corrected, FYI.
It is more about the total package. nmap and ssh could be used to build a distributed SYN flood tool quite easily. But when you combine all of these features into one tool it shapes a picture of intent that gets harder and harder to argue about.

I have great concern as a person who has built and released software whose only real purpose is to perform MiTM on network traffic. On the other hand, my software isn't popular with criminals and I break software professionally. It would take a lot of effort to package most infosec and computer tools into easy to use hacking tools.

We tread a difficult line here, but at some point there is no charitable interpretation for a software package. I think at the end of the day I still lean in this guy's favor, but he makes it really hard. It was for profit software and I bet if we have the whole back story of evidence it will become even more difficult to defend the author. Intent matters, even with software.
~19% of Saudi Oil exports go to the United States. So while I agree that the United States would turn out just fine, I'd submit that it would represent a significant power shift away from OPEC (fine by me). Perhaps that's a long term Strategic goal for the United States. Perhaps it's a wise one.

Thanks for the tip, will check it out.
You are 100% right. I've worked for Uncle Sugar since 1981 as an AF officer and a contractor, and after seeing the way money gets spent, you're better off burying it in a fruit jar in your backyard than giving it to the government.
> They're pretty obviously trying to push the idea that attribution of hacks (such as the DNC hack) can be really easily spoofed, and you shouldn't trust them.

OK, and? Is it incorrect that they can spoofed? If not, doesn't that necessarily mean that you can't take "the Russians did this" at face value?
I guess you don't wonder that much why there is no leaks from large criminal syndicates and criminal structures in general. So the special agencies in Russia not just derived from USSR, but also built on corruption like any other government structure.

So like in usual organised crime most of people in charge are relatives or close friends and different spheres of influence are controlled by different groups of them. Most work there to make money on corporate raid or government contracts.

There is always wars for power between different groups inside those agencies which make people working there more careful about everything they doing since others always watching. So just like most of criminals they tend to not leave tons of documents in their email.

PS: And one more reason is obviously fact that no one want to end up drinking polonium tea or just get few bullets in back. Criminals don't have problem with killing traitors or those who failed to keep secrets.

>The technology community must pick between enabling universal surveillance and censorship, or protecting the privacy of the vulnerable, including those who hold minority opinions and express themselves in ways that could be deemed "unpleasant".

They chose a long time ago. A lot of the issues that are slowly coming to the surface for most people (police/surveillance state, endless war driven by military-industrial complex and politics, climate disaster, etc...) are old issues. They're finally surfacing because most of them are so far beyond criticality that they're actually detonating in our midst.

These choices have been made again and again by the few people who really bother to engage with these issues, and we lost. This is what losing all of these battles over decades looks like when the bill starts coming due.

Palm's not the only company that isn't afraid to speak out on the Open Handset Alliance. Nokia, Microsoft and Symbian made it most clear today that they don't perceive danger from the new initiative and corresponding Android OS, with Nokia stating it quite bluntly: "We don't see this as a threat." Microsoft was a bit more on the defensive. "It really sounds that they are getting a whole bunch of people together to build a phone and that's something we've been doing for five years," said Scott Horn, from Microsoft's Windows Mobile marketing team. "I don't understand the impact that they are going to have."

I have over one year of clojure experience on customer projects, spread out over the last six years. I like the language a lot, but except for my cooking website (cookingspace.com) and the server side code for an Evernote clone prototype, I don't use Clojure on my own projects where I tend to use Haskell for the fun of using Haskell and then Ruby and Java are my go-to languages to get stuff done quickly.

I agree with most of the author's opinions about the use of Clojure except that personally I dislike using multimethods.

Using some joke lipsum generator for client facing designs is a sign of poor judgement, but excusable and serves as a teachable moment. Not understanding what lipsum is at all is much less excusable. I would note, however, that you failed to clearly explain the source of the text and its purpose and did so after being scolded for using something similar.
You're helping prove his point. I would consider you a troll. You are aggressive, insulting, inflammatory, and you do it with regularity. I'm not sure why it has to be funny to you or anyone else.
Thanks so much for the comment! Could you give a link to what you mean regarding using licenses to absolve responsibilities? I thought that would only work for distributing open source software.
>like secret police stuff, control over national media, poisoning of political enemies, assassinations

How about "secret police stuff" like the illegal abductions of people to put them into torture "black sites" all over the world? [0]

Massive control over global media trough lobbying and propaganda instruments? [1]

A long history of successful, and not so successful assassination attempts aimed at the "ideological opposition" all over the world? [2]

The point here not being that the "US is the worst", the point being that the US hardly has the "moral high ground" on these issues just because they use these methods mostly against external "enemies" and not their own population.
Questionable methods are questionable because of their methodology, not because of their targets.

I don't see how you come up with this stuff. Codeplex was simply uglier than Github, that's it. Both graphical design wise and interaction design wise.
For what it's worth, I'm a pretty happy vim-fireplace user for evaluating files and forms. I also happily use standard vim brace matching, text-objects, etc instead of paredit or similar.

For JVM development, I only bother with NREPL because vim-fireplace needs it. For library development, `lein repl` gets the job done. For application development, I copy/paste around just enough code to launch an nrepl server and run the Clojure jar directly with a vendored directory of jar files. No other tools needed really.

I guess, because they get more money this way.
That's correct.

There are no theoretical blockers; tooling could make it a lot easier though. I was hand-porting chunks of the Ruby interpreter, which uses C macros extensively, and it's doable, but not fun.
Sure, but if the big wall is a map, and you're trying to find something on that map, all the dicks make it so much harder to find it that giving up in despair is often the reaction.

It's hard to tune out a cubic mile of dicks when you're looking for a pearl.
Wealth is NOT a zero sum game. Yes the rich are getting richer, but so is everybody else. The Middle class is richer too.

Most people have multiple TVs with none smaller than 25 inches. Poor people today have 40+inch 1080 color TVs. Poor people often with a video game system. The Poor have cell phones and computers with internet service. No amount of money could get any of that in the 1950s, now it is considered normal for the poor to have them - legally.

If you think houses were better quality then you know nothing about construction. They might LOOK better, but in today's houses engineers have actually calculated wind load to ensure it will stand, r-values to ensure you can afford to heat it, and other safety standards so it doesn't kill the occupants. Of course most of that is invisible, you see something that seems like is is not flimsy and don't realize it is strong enough, while may things that seem strong are brittle.
See I think xmonad's behaviour makes intuitive sense and all the others are weird. If I want to see my Slack window on the monitor in front of my face I don't have to worry about remembering what monitor it was last on, I just call up workspace 3 and bam it's there.

One of the norms of Victorian society was that once you acquired wealth, you were meant to behave in a way that was befitting of that status - including in terms of morality. And indeed middle class and wealthy Victorians poured money into / agnonized over the condition of the working class.

What I believe you are seeing now is the entrenchment a significant minority of people who not only feel they have not 'won', but that the rich and well connected have broken that social contract. They, unsurprisingly, don't feel like playing the 'manners' game if they feel the system is abusing them.
Well, he was born in Italy and English is likely not his first language. And his is a name I've heard all my career so, yes, I think he can start an article pretty much any way he pleases and I'll gladly read it.!8-))

But also I agree with Dr. Poggio's first statement in the paper (i.e.,"The problems of Intelligence are, together, the greatest problem in science and technology today."). I have a proof that this is so, however I haven't the time to post it this small textbox and be assured of no typos. Tempus fugit.

But if you know of other problem(s) that you believe are greater then you should indeed reveal them to us.

As I understand it, the F9 first stage can't actually hover because a single engine at the lowest setting gives the overall stage a TWR > 1. Thus the "hoverslam" - they calculate the landing burn such that the stage reaches 0 velocity and 0 altitude (from the pad) at the same instant. But this means the only margin for error is in the landing legs, and they've had some hard landings.

I was originally thinking about solid rockets in context of a parachute system, but the more I think about the more I believe truly gentle landings aren't really a feature of the current design.

I'm not sure how much weight it would add, but it seems like having the ability to fine-tune the thrust at the very end would allow them to land much more gently and feel better about not introducing metal fatigue or other damage. Of course the addition of a smaller LF engine probably makes the most sense.
FWIW, Apple's Remote Desktop tool does almost everything this guy's RAT does.

Except: You can't disable webcam lights with it. And you can't SYN flood (directly) with it. It is trivial to run a few shell commands and install tools that let you SYN flood. Why would a RAT include that by default. I think it will come down to a couple of the small hard to justify features coupled with the overall packaging and history of the software that really spell out a story of intent from the author that lands him in jail.

Intent, and the story, that gets told in court really matters. Plus we don't have the totality of the evidence.
Are you talking about using sheetrock instead of plaster, or something else?
>"and now cell carriers actively pushing spyware,"

Have there been other carriers pushing such spyware out to Android phones in in addition to Verizon?
All you do is escape the "jail" and ls -r the whole system. Chroot is a shell trick that basically creates an alias for / pointing at an arbitrary folder. Any process that is spawned in that aliased environment have the folder returned as /. (Chroot "jails" are pretty easy to break out of, by the way, and is not a security measure.)

I don't know if there is a way to force arbitrary running processes to output their root directories in such a way that would link to the aliased folder.

That question is somewhat like asking if there is a way to show which folders your shell was in for every time you've called sudo.

This.Competition is good. The less competition, the less insentive Github will have to improve their product.

But Microsoft didn't put a lot of effort into making CodePlex user friendly either (just like google code back then). What makes Github great is that it is fairly easy to get started with, fairly easy to use and to navigate.
It's great that they'll keep an archive. I sometimes find random stuff for rare asp.net cases on codeplex

One important thing many people hardly mention during events in history like this is that often software is lost in the sands of time, never to be recovered.

Some software out there is actually "finished" and undisturbed by surrounding ecosystems for the most part. When the author or maintainers are no longer around and a host collapses around a project, sometimes you just can't find the source anymore.

It's out there, for sure, but most likely in cold storage, collecting dust in some old hobbyist's closet.

[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Drain the swamp
Yes it's all about oil price stabilization. It's also a plan put in motion almost 30 years ago when we first attacked Iraq. So yes as solar and other developments change the landscape we are still foolishly following an old plan to insure the Middle East are willing client states able to be controlled by the global monetary system rather than erratic despotic wrenches in the system.

Terrorism and 9/11 likely is a false flag for ulterior motives. The motives can't be made so clear or nobody would believe the false flags and the media. We aren't to know just how important oil price stabilization is to the ruling elite's master plan.

Do you really think all the lives and money lost in the past 16 years has been the appropriate cost for just 3000 dead? We need to speak up and completely pull out of the Middle East immediately. The plan might have overall been good for the world but they were wrong and their dishonesty has destroyed people's faith in government and has made an entire region far more "terrifying" than they ever were. We are following an outdated strategy by outdated people that don't know better. That is to say they were never evil, but just impatient operating on a small big picture. I'm referring to the Bush Family, members of the Bilderberg group, the Rockefeller's, what remains of Standard Oil in obscured new company names such as Exxon and Mobil, and the tip top banking institutions that have been so arrogantly proud of the fact that money can be used to control the world and maintain peace rather than war as in past generations--for if everything can be controlled by money rather than might, we have the makings of a more peaceful world. So they thought...
>>Do you assume these people are stupid

I dunno... every time Trump fucks up in a big way, the_donald folks genuinely think he is playing "five-dimensional chess" and that he fucked up on purpose as a way to outmaneuver his opponents without them realizing it.

So yes, they are absolutely, definitively stupid. I mean how else do you explain the attribution of superhuman intelligence to someone who is an incredible cretin?
In this case the source isn't just being thrown over the wall, though. It's being developed out in the open, just without any indication of what it's for.

Hi, I'm the Engineering Lead at Tress and we're a lean team of 3. Right now, we're looking to hire 1 Front End Engineer as we want to launch our web version for SEO (we realised that Google App Indexing is not enough and we're missing a lot of SEO opportunities on the web), 1 iOS engineer and 1 UI/UX designer.

Our top level stack is Ruby on Rails, Postgresql, Redis, AWS, Heroku, Java, Objective C & Swift.

We initially tested our product in Ghana. But our user base has grown since and our users are from all over the world with a significant majority from Africa and the US. We are and will be based in Silicon Valley going forward. It's a global app and our goal is to have our foot placed globally

> The leadership have an obligation to shareholders to break promises if it improves profitability.

Officers of a corporation have a responsibility to act in good faith for the best interest of its members. But that can include acting in long-term best interests too.

Contrary to what you may believe, no one will indict Comcast leadership for not harvest and selling info.

Also, remember "good faith". E.g. MS shareholders can't indict leadership for Windows 8 ;)
Did they pretend to be Russia? I didn't see any evidence. They seemed to have heavily invested in this capability though. Why waste time and money if they don't plan on using it?

Why do you think they might want to pretend to be someone else?
There are elements of the Clojure design philosophy that are likely to keep it in the realm of "hosted language" for some time to come. That said, with the advent of self-hosted ClojureScript, there is no reason that you need be tied to the JVM just to use Clojure. In some regards, I see the ClojureScript community growing at an even faster clip than the parent language (though Clojure does have a large head-start).
FWIW I think NexentaStor's zfs configuration interface is the easiest way I've seen to configure zfs. Something like that where it's dead-easy to apply an SSD to cache & multiple HDDs to redundant pools would be wonderful.

There is a rational middle ground -- Ubuntu's regular semi-annual releases.

If Ubuntu doesn't meet your needs, maybe try Centos + EPEL. You get a lot of stability with the option to install more recent versions of some packages.

I've been using Arch for 4 or 5 years and can only recall a couple instances where I needed to force-install a package to accomodate a backwards-incompatible change.

I don't think there's any magical piece of code that is objectively prettier in Clojure than in Python. Syntax is just syntax. Honestly, the homoiconicity of Lisps is nice and all but it's not something that often matters in practice. The syntax looks funky for the first three days you write Lisp, then it just fades into background like with most other languages. I guess Lisp grammar is particularly elegant because it's so small but still allows great expressive power. It doesn't get in the way.
Which law provides an unambiguous definition of "legitimate software"?
Looking at Stuxnet [1] the distance between those two is less than most think, and the distance is only decreasing. More important is the takeaway that it's getting easier and easier for a misguided teenager to cause industrial scale harm. So the classic problem of a punk kid breaking a window gets amplified.

Of course there are other options besides banning software to improve the situation. Among them is increasing awareness of the possible threats, and that software like NanoCore makes mischief easier to execute.
