We successfully compile it on 2.6.32 kernel on production servers for exemple. We needed to compile gcc >5 to fully make it runs, as far as the RHEL6.5 default gcc is 4.4.

So talking about what 4.9 kernel can bring is interesting, but not everybody runs this version of kernel.

Ask HN: Is Google security really this stupid?
This was very surprising to me - its not my main account, which has 2-factor security for a long time, but a 6 character, alternative email, from 2006.
Those you created to sign up on dubious websites. I'm from Brazil and mostly use english. I never went to Vietnam.

I just woke up with a bunch of emails from Google saying that (I only received because that account still had forwarding to my main address):

- New chrome sign in from Vietnam

- Your password changed

- Your security question was deleted

- Your recovery email address changed

- "Lansiran keamanan untuk akun Google yang tertaut" (suspicious activity)

So, probably this guy got my password from an unsafe website (I'm not even sure about the password as I only used as a forwarding email to my main email).

What really surprised me is that:

- all recovery is based on things the attacker already changed

- Google, a company that makes self driving cars, seems to use zero AI to detect fraudulent behavior? They don't even seem to consider the variable "time" to recover the account? Come on guys, I'd have to use my security email from before the time I was hacked, not the current one! Don't you have a list of my last security emails?

- Google has my every location since I had an Android phone (almost 10 years?), Google knows where I live and work. Google parses emails from airlines for a few years now - I really expect they to use this information if my main account ever is hacked, eg, "this guy didn't buy a ticket and is logging from Vietnam now?"

- You can't prove that an account is yours by alternative methods such as:

a) I have thousands of emails from the hacked account in my main account. Just ask me to list one of those.

b) My main account is/was a forwarding address for the hacked account !!1!

- Also you can't really fill a simple form, to say that the account was hacked. The account recovery just ends in "Could not verify this was your email".

Of course, I don't care about that Google account - I only worry that its an entry point for hacking another services that are important. I'm a little scared that now he is the only person (other than Google) that knows that "fake account" and my main account are the same person.

Anyway, very frustrating. If this was on my main email, and it was a money grabbing scam, I'd probably be tempted to pay it, because otherwise I would be utterly f*ed.
I think you are confusing "tech companies" with "web start-ups". Germany has a different focus than Silicon Valley and thus a different type of "tech" jobs as well. There are a lot of challenging engineering and IT jobs where you will work together with top-notch colleagues in industrial automation, mechanical engineering, etc.

Note that Elon Musk is still dreaming about building tunnel boring machinery, while at Herrenknecht you can already innovate in this field today.

What about non-techie types who are suprised you won't just make a website for them (for free) in one day, or that you aren't an expect in all things tech by the sole virtue of being a programmer. Or, not being able to do mental arithmetic very well when you tell them you're a mathematician.
In my opinion, unless German IT companies accept to work in English because available workforce in neighbor countries already know English, or they're going to have problems attracting world-class talent. I.e. accepting as "acceptable behavior" people not willing to learn German as a requirement.

Two minor things:

- I think Cambridge is very much not a campus university, because it's scattered around the city. I think of a campus university as somewhere like Warwick, Nottingham or Reading, with academic buildings within a large park-like area sometimes including residence buildings, where people not studying or working at the university don't often walk.

- I was asked to show my diploma for my first job in the UK. I don't know if they checked it with the university.
This is also discussed elsewhere in this thread.

Why reinvent the wheel just to get around people who are messing up the old wheel?

Plus, any new network is susceptible to the same sort of lobbying and moneyed interests plaguing the existing internet.

We will need to be forever vigilant in order to maintain our right to have equal access to data. Some have noted that even a constitutional amendment guaranteeing net neutrality rights could be rolled back, since that has precedent under rolling back prohibition.
> walked into an unmarked doorway in Chinatown, walked down a flight of stairs to a very dingy basement, held up a few fingers to tell the hostess how many people were in your party, and then ordered off a menu where nothing was in English and everything either had tendons or organ meat

Pretty effective recipe for food poisoning you got there.
Give them some time. The big U.S. and U.K. universities have decades of experience in selecting the best and the brightest from around the world. They have huge admission teams that know the local education markets and can tell you which Chinese university's degrees are first-class and which are not.

For German universities, having to select foreign students is a new development and it will take time and a bit of trial & error to get it right. It's the same in Switzerland: every Swiss high school graduate can attend university, so an "admissions process" just didn't exist there. And now that many international students want to attend Swiss university, you get a lot of students in master's courses who don't have the required pre-requisities. But I'm confident the universities will learn and build up these capabilities.
> I don't want to mention the name of the university.

Preposterous, given that you have total anonymity and anyone reading your extremely general rant without any details would have any idea who you are. I was willing to accept your comment as an opinion based on your personal experiences, but after this turn in the discussion I can't take you seriously, because it's obvious that you are creating a lot of drama that doesn't actually exist. Posting the name of the university is a non-issue - unless you fear people who are actually there might dispute your claims... given the very general and broad claims you made you must be incredibly well-connected to a lot of people in a lot of different departments at that university. Not easy to believe even without your refusal to give a simple name to the place.
Thanks, I see now that the whole section is very clumsily written.

IIRC, a Busy Beaver may halt or not. You only care about those that _do_ halt, though, and the _champion_ is the one with the most number of 1s on the tape. The whole problem is determining if a given machine will halt or not. Which we know, by the halting theorem, is possible to prove on a case-by-case basis, but not in the general case (i.e., you cannot create an algorithm to determine it).

So you resort to heuristics. E.g., if a machine never has a "go to the halt state" in its transition table, you know that it can't ever halt. But as the machines grow, you'll have to cover an infinite amount of such heuristics, hence the incomputable nature of them.

I figure this can go along like screen for a long time. I remember in about 1999 I was really annoyed that screen wasn't getting better fast enough and no one wanted my patches.

Similarly I expect someone to clone/replace/improve mosh, and for people who demand the best new functionality to eventually head there.

The main advantage of docker, as far as my understanding goes, is more of a prebuilt system configuration thing. Need a database? Load the prebuilt PostgreSQL image onto the respective machine.

One thing I think should get more use in general is that Dockerfiles are essentially completely reproducible scripts[1]. Too many companies I've seen still use Word documents full of manual steps one can easily get wrong for all their machine setups (especially in the Windows world). If you want to test something quickly, you're bogged down for a day.

Note that "Sofortüberweisung" is a service where people do store their private bank account data (!) - when I first saw that I was sure it was a joke, but people are using it.

Angular 2 typescript apps can use AOT compilation, so that could be added if it's not there already, but regardless of that isn't one huge benefit of a PWA that the code is cached so it can be used offline, and a service worker is used to control what needs to be downloaded on subsequent loads? That means that, while it's good not to be wasteful, the initial download size isn't really that important. Adding a one-time download few hundred KB of code isn't going to make a big difference to the user.

> It's cheap but not quality.

Do you care to elaborate on that? If I look at the Times Higher Education ranking for Teaching, I see e.g. Heidelberg University on world rank 43:

(Just picked because it's the first university in Baden-Württemberg I found; obviously, for specific subjects the rankings might vary a bit.)

That's not MIT or Harvard, but if that's your standard of "quality" than very few people in the world will have "quality" education.

There are good tech jobs in Germany. They are not SV-level paying, but rents are also not San Francisco level and you get healthcare, pension funds and unemployment benefits. Of course it can always be better.

What better than German tech jobs are there in the UK? It is not about the jobs. They are aiming for a language they already know, but want to get a free education on the way.

My point is, that taxpayers should benefit from their investments. There is nothing wrong with creating a lock-in, which is silly btw.: There is a German speaking market of > 100 Mio speakers, you can benefit from. Nobody in the Philippines or India speaks German. See what kind of job opportunities Turkish-German people have in Turkey.

If your point is true and there are no tech-jobs, we can benefit from it, then stop the program and work on that first. The foreign students also would, because except for 3 neighborhoods in Berlin and Frankfurt, you cannot integrate into German society without some German language knowledge and without a proper skillset.

The German economy is heavily based on the Mittelstand with so called "hidden champions", one does not know about, but who are the global market leader in smaller, obscure markets. They often sit in a village somewhere in rural (but rich) Southern Germany. No way, you can make it there without German language knowledge.
That is a slipshod statement that is not true. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11573487 for some more accurate information.

I was not talking about city streets. And it doesn't matter. How long do you think does it take for a car to go to a highway?

It doesn't take to long is still much cheaper.

In munich you have a autobahn/cityring in the city. It takes perhaps 20 Minutes in city traffic to get onto the autobahn / highway.

There is a reason why we have only underground trains and why it takes years to build a new tunnel for them.

Also having the city traffic more autonomous would increase the traffic flow.
Could someone not build something similar, but for WiFi routers instead of charging stations?. I.e. a company selling or renting pre-programmed WiFi routers that sell bandwidth directly to the users.

A Great Question to Ask Your Manager or Direct Reports
>how do languages which compile to machine code manage to implement these features in machine code? The answer is they don't. The machine code they generate may behave as if it were safe, but it's no more safe than any other machine code anywhere else, and no different.

Merely replacing "javascript" with "machine code" and pasting my comment back doesn't constitute a rational argument or an effective refutation of anything i've actually stated, it's the intellectual equivalent of a small bird mimicking human speech.

>Now how many people in the world do you think that believe it is a sane approach to manually write a complex application that uses powerful type systems directly in machine code?

Except... writing machine code does not describe writing javascript in any meaningful way. Machine code is low level, concrete, and not easily human readable. Javascript is high level and abstract.

How sane is it to manually write a complex application that uses powerful type systems directly in machine code using C++? Why would you bother writing Java bytecode directly in Java source code? The metaphor of javascript as machine language breaks down so readily that, yes, I will question its utility, and whether fixating on it is pathological.

If you don't like javascript as a language, fair enough - plenty of people don't, for valid reasons. I understand perfectly well why developers generate javascript from other languages and why they might find it useful to do so. But to hearken back to my original point, doing so doesn't affect javascript's relevance or discredit its quality as a language. You're still developing in javascript by proxy.
