Gotcha. Wasn't quite understanding what you were asking.

It was a demon, one of. There's honestly too many different types of things out there, I'm never too sure if there even is a nomenclature that could be attributed. But this thing was definitely a demon. That's what the first half of the ritual does, from the Mathers' book.

What can they do to humans? All sorts of things. This is probably a better list than I can cover: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_demons_in_the_Ars_Goet...

Do note, some of them are rubbish... But not the ones you might think. Things like "become invisible" doesn't always mean that you turn transparent - it can be that nobody notices you.

This one, had a murderous vengeance towards the one whom imprisoned it. We just installed a vehicle lift in our hackerspace, and there was an open house that evening. It would have been catastrophic if 'somehow' that lift malfunctioned and crushed someone... And having an electrical malfunction or a hydraulic breach would be well within the power of that entity.

It's only a bad article in the sense that it proposes synthetic photography as a good thing. The general public, however, might well embrace it one step at a time, accepting what I agree are terrible consequences. Cameras won't go away overnight. Lower-quality cameras instead become acceptable, as the results are uploaded to and enhanced in "the cloud". You eventually won't be able to capture certain images, but the predictable majority of synthetic "photos" taken by most people will work just fine, with better quality on cheaper, thinner devices. Heck, scatter some subtle product placement in the results, and the whole endeavor can be subsidized. Then we ban real cameras and end child-pornography. You're not against that, are you? Finally, we can conveniently alter any photos that might embarrass corporate or government interests! How delightfully dystopian.
Python's data infrastructure has a huge problem: serialization and thus saving data results.

A good serialization library should serialize:

- classes/objects (best practice: objects for holding data)
- pandas/numpy objects (must have: minimizing space)
- namedtuples (currently: a mess, factory implementation)
- dicts and lists of dicts (must have: space efficiency)

Compare to Matlab: save(f, 'anyobject'); anyobject=load(f)

Python is terrible at this and it limits use in real data analysis environments and limits competition with matlab.
> a clean, fully featured tabbed terminal, included in Windows

You'd either get a Microsoft Word equivalent of a console window in that case, since everyone has a different set of features they consider essential, or the Notepad equivalent (more likely). A tool's value doesn't necessarily increase with more features and features are never cheap (in Windows, at least, where there are documentation, translation, configuration, group policy, and other concerns).

Tabbed console windows exist as 3rd-party applications already, seemingly with minor problems for one user or another, but I'd argue those problems are easier to rectify than for MS to develop yet another alternative that people grumble about even more because it doesn't contain their own personal pet feature.
No one says to be tolerant of everything. Don't be tolerant of intolerant public actions. But also don't be intolerant of private thoughts and actions.
I love Sublime. It is cross platform and has a great array of plugins from the community. I have used it for years. I know plenty of keyboard shortcuts and I am productive using it.

It never crashes on me, but maybe I am just not an edge case user of it.

Whenever version 3 is released for purchase, I do not anticipate having any problems getting my employer to pay for a license and I don't mind paying out of pocket if necessary.
Sublime Text is a great piece of software. My only gripe is that the license I've bought (which was kinda steep IMHO) doesn't carry over from ST2 to ST3.
As I said, C is gnarly, mostly for legacy and "practicality" (WorseIsBetter) reasons.

Undefined behaviour, declared as in a language standard, isn't too bad; it might forbid some potentially-useful combinations of expressions, but there'll usually be a workaround.

The problem is compilers which allow undefined behaviour by default, rather than aborting with a helpful error message. This puts the burden of avoiding undefined behaviour on the programmer, which is really bad. This might be unsolvable for C, due to the nature of its particular undefined behaviour.

For brand new languages, I'd recommend minimising undefined behaviour as much as possible, but definitely ensure that any that remains can be found statically!
I think the more interesting question is why consensus couldn't be reached on requiring TLS as part of the standard.
I think a 70-90% cut is probably closer the the right ballpark. I've long thought that ads cost me, the viewer, far more in lost attention and annoyance than they give a monetary benefit to the website owner. I'd like to see the ads cost their creators an order of magnitude more, and for the viewer to get the lion's share.
Anecdotally, I agree: it can't be that easy. I've worn contacts for most of my life (including while doing competitive swimming, showering, etc), and recently (3 years ago) got into scleral lenses (which included instructions from my optometrist to rinse these contacts in cold water to rid them of preservatives). If the formula really was "tap water and mis-care of contact lenses induces eye infection", I would have been blind before I could vote.

Maybe I'm just that lucky. A shame my lottery tickets disagree.
as someone who used to work for a targeted advertising co i can confirm that, overall, this is pretty accurate. And, nearly a decade ago we were doing work to connect fingerprint x and fingerprint y when they were actually the same person (usually on different computers or maybe in incognito). Conceptually it wasn't hard. People tend behave the same way regardless of what computer they're on. I'd be VERY surprised to hear that Google hasn't made a ton of progress in connecting fingerprints
Is that referring though to involuntary labor or involuntary serving of "time"
The point is that it is winners-take-all now. There are a few winners with strong businesses, like the ones you mentioned, but it is not a broadly strong industry. That was not the case with print, where the local paper had some advantages in their home market.

This seems to be kind of just how technology industries work (at least right now): you don't have a broadly strong market for "social news feed", you have Facebook.

Im also on Tox as well.
It's called rhetoric.
Not enough churn, though. I worked on mortgages for a UK high street bank a while ago, and they were still running the mortgage systems for every bank and building society they'd taken over in their decades of growth, plus a few different attempts at building one system to rule them all.
Profound and inspiring!
Thanks for your input.

Why VC prefer enterprise software startups, will kill your idea if it's not
There definitely is an "oh, we're doing this now" moment when any project or group reaches a size where a code of conduct is published.

It's like wearing a cowboy hat to a meeting. It's not that there's anything wrong with the symbol itself, but it perhaps represents some tedious baggage
A lot of people are taking either stance: that a person's beliefs squarely should or should not affect their involvement in the project.

However - the third stance is that one needs to assess the material effect their beliefs may have on their day-to-day involvement in that project. In an industry with serious, systemic issues with gender balance, is it not reasonable to suggest a person promoting "Gorean philosophy" might execute poor judgement in the context of work with female collaborators?
I agree. Maybe we're taking the article too seriously though. There is no tool. It's just a really bad article. My guess is it was written by an excited very inexperienced person or someone who wanted to make clickbait.
IP Tracking is not enough to get an individual. They can get a household or business that way. They can track you by your specific browser signature: combo of user agent, plugins, etc. Which is why I like to use a browser dedicated to social media. I also have a computer provided by my employer as well as my own personal device. This helps a lot.
The article addresses this question:

"Received wisdom is that the more diverse the teams in terms of age, ethnicity, and gender, the more creative and productive they are likely to be. But having run the execution exercise around the world more than 100 times over the last 12 years, we have found no correlation between this type of diversity and performance."
Take Facebook's experience last year as an example

Facebook has this policy where all the facebook.com and fb.com certificates, including sub-domains, test sites, everything, have to go through a central security team. Obviously they can't reach out to every CA in the world and tell them about this policy and the millions like it at every company. So they came to agreement with a single CA, and only ever use that one CA who knows their rules.

A company working with Facebook built some site, let's call it example.fb.com. They were responsible for it, so they controlled the content on the site. Some employee at the contractor wanted an SSL certificate, they'd heard of Let's Encrypt, so they just used Let's Encrypt to get themselves a certificate. Let's Encrypt checked their proof of control, it was fine, so it issued a certificate to the employee.

Now, within 24hours that certificate was published to the Certificate Transparency system, and Facebook's security team monitors CT, so they saw there's this certificate for example.fb.com which is from this new Let's Encrypt service not their usual CA and they didn't ask for it. They, understandably, go straight to alert status - possible attack in progress.

In that particular case it ends happily, the firm making example.fb.com confesses to what happened, that they didn't read the terms telling them to get certificates from Facebook security, the certificates are revoked, it's not Let's Encrypt's fault this happened, CT logs are proved to do the intended job...

But CAA allows Facebook to tell everybody "Digicert is the only CA we want issuing for our names" and not have this whole panic in the first place. With CAA in place, Let's Encrypt would have told that employee "Issuing for this name is forbidden due to CAA" and then the employee would look that up on Google, realise they just violated Facebook's policy and reach out to Facebook Security. No sirens, maybe somebody gets a slap on the wrist, life goes on.

i assure you, that you can still be tracked without cookies. It's not as easy, but it's definitely possible to fingerprint a browser and track its requests to a server even if there aren't cookies. The level of confidence will be good enough for advertising.
Exactly, which is why I'm complaining that Blue Apron won't stop sending them to me. I don't want to throw food away, especially food I paid a good amount of money for. That's one reason why I'm not a Blue Apron subscriber anymore. I didn't ask them to send me food I don't like.
I agree. It at least feels like it's more a way to showcase your beliefs and give a list of things that may be used to justify actions later, rather than something constructive.
Yeah, like when I take pictures to remember what my kids were doing that day, really all that must be done is to extrapolate their stage of growth using their birthday (derived from publicly available databases), infer their likely location and pose from the sounds they are generating, etc. So much simpler than a CCD!

Just to be sure, use a site like ssllabs.com to make sure you are actually using an ALPN. For example on Ubuntu 14, setting http2 does nothing, as it requires Openssl 1.0.2. If you are using Ubuntu 16, or a distro that provides the newer Openssl it should work correctly.

I highly recommend bookbub.com for building up your own (e-book) anti-library. Every day you get an email with a bunch of $1-3 books. I usually end up buying at least a couple of them, because hey, $2. So now I've got a massive backlog of books and can almost always find something worth reading.

Plus the variety keeps you from getting stuck in a reading rut with one type of book.

I somewhat expect it, as we've seen desktop OSes come to be influenced by mobile OSes, or worse, as we've seen desktop OSes modified to also act as mobile OSes.

Trying to combine these two very different types of usage into one product, like we've seen with recent versions of Windows and open source desktop environments (like GNOME 3), results in the worst of both worlds.

Even in the case of macOS, where there's at least some separation, the influence from the mobile side can still harm the desktop experience.
You can improve that with better ad space placing and styling but seems about right. Also 1000 impressions pay about 1 click.

The earnings per click will vary wildly depending on your content "quality"(whatever Google's algorithms decide is quality) and category(content about insurance will probably bring better paying insurance ads and content about 9/11 conspiracies will probably bring less paying ads).

Society does have many unwritten agreements, but this is not one of them.

Did you ever get those "march of dimes" solicitations that include a dime? I know people who believe that there's an unspoken agreement of reciprocity - they sent you something of value (even though you did not ask for it) so you must give something back. But no such social contract, spoken or unspoken, exists.

Similarly, there is no such contract with respect to ads. Personally, I never watch TV live, even when the schedule is convenient, because I like to skip all the ads. Courts have held time shifting to be a right, so I can assure you I am in the right on this one, although there is zero practical difference between my fast-forward ad blocking (which is sometimes automated), and running uBlock Origin.

Tozkoparan kale çilingir,
I believe the blame was aimed at javascript developers, not the language.
Yes, exactly. But why? What's the agenda? Why now? It's not like Amazon.com was broken between 1996 and 2016. There is a push to HTTPS at all costs, even if things (ad networks, devs, software) is not ready and is there even a need for 100% TLS? That an open source browser is engaged in such initiative is not good. With HTTP you can be anonymous, and most website visits aren't mission critical things. With HTTPS your traffic is quite unique and the players with big money have the resources anyway, there TLS is no big thing as we learned in the last few years. So which Think-tank or what ever is behind this initiative?
Is the common pattern to support http2 at the highest level?

If a request goes through CDN/edge network -> Load Balancer -> nginx -> Python app, should http2 be enabled on all components or is enabling just on the CDN enough? Any pros/cons?

With HTTPS, usually enabling on the CDN is good enough for most cases.
There is some merit to it.

Thanks for expanding on that mhneu. So our primary focus with Kim has certainly been around serializing/marshaling JSON though we've used it for plenty of other uses cases.

It's great to get a view of other problems people are experiencing.

Now we've finished wrapping up 1.0.0 we're going to be spending some time on the roadmap of new features. I personally feel variation in use cases from our own is only going to help make Kim better so we'll defo look into this problem some more in the near future. Right now though i couldn't say for sure what Kim would have to offer when working with Pandas etc as we've simply never tried.
