I feel he makes a mistake in introducing the issue of engineering introversion and (dread the word) the spectrum.

This desire to reduce human interaction is driven by the desires of the average consumer. In many of the projects I've worked on this is explicit. People want control, transparency and automation. There are services whose entire selling point is reducing the unpredictability of human interactions for consumers. For example, many people would not use taxis historically because they felt the pricing was not transparent and at the whim of a person they would have to negotiate with. People find this stressful.

Sometimes the automation makes the rules of interaction much more explicit too. A lot of people are nervous of picking up the phone to, say, something as simple as a restaurant and being told, NO you can't have a table for Saturday. If they book online they can see the availability and not have what they find the social embarrassment of even such a mild rejection.

Personally, I am all for human interaction. I positively seek it out. But I do not think this is the trend. A lot of people are almost afraid to pick up the phone, or ask for something that isn't on a menu, or ask for a discount, or negotiate a price. And the number of those people is, in my personal experience, growing.
As long as the ahead of time optimizations that dont have a large enough negative drawback in another criteria (speed vs size) are welcomed by me, even if the JIT can do the same optimizations too.
Regarding your code example, maybe prepack was changed in the past week and a half, but it is folded quite fine when i tried it:

(function() {
function foo() { const bar = 42; for (let i = 0; i <= bar; i++) { if (i === bar) { return bar; } } };
console.log(foo());
})();

I've done similar with a catch-all sub-domain for years. It does mean that my mail server sees a lot of junk activity as some email lists out there have many addresses in that sub-domain on them, but at least they are easy to filter out.

Some sites refuse to accept email addresses with more than one "." after the "@" but I figure if they don't understand email addresses I don't want to be trusting them with my details, even throw-away ones, anyway!

Unfortunately I was added to docusign by someone else who gave them my main address...

How do you deliver application configuration files?
Hi,

i am currently evaluating a track where i will deliver application configuration through key/values with "consul" or "ETCD" instead of currently using visual studio transformations at the build release process.

how do you manage your application configuration delivery ?

Thanks.

Does anybody know what the power draw is for 10Gb/s mode? The early 10Gbase-T phys pulled ~10w. I know things have gotten considerably better, as I'm finding press releases from 2013 talking about ~1.5w. Has that improved any?
Plain wrong.

In addition to Carabinieri and Guardia di Finanza, Italy has had "classic" military (infantrymen in camo, from the Italian Army, Paratroopers and Artillery regiments) patrolling the streets in two separate operations, one of which is active nowadays:

- Operation Sicilian Vespers, against the Mafia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sicilian_Vespers_(19...), ceased in 1998.

- Operation Safe Streets (strade sicure), against terrorism and generic crime. Still active (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operazione_Strade_sicure)

It really does depend on the music you're listening to IME. Some stuff sounds ok on 128k, but a lot of the electronic music I listen to is horrendous on 128k. Which is a real shame as a lot of sets I have I can only find in 128k mp3.

Why would sex in the workplace be considered "inevitable"? Is watching March Madness or Game of Thrones likewise inevitable and thus a good employer should furnish a rec room with HD TV? Perhaps some do. But many others assert that they provide fair working hours and wages to their employees which allow employees plenty of time to go home (and even take vacation days) to enjoy such recreation, rather than have it be a distracting accessory to the workplace.

Net bandwidth on 802.11ac is nowhere near real 1Gbps though. Most i got out of a good 802.11ac AP that claimed 1,3Gbps was ~500-600Mbps in the real world on very close distance and it falls off pretty fast. Even the ones claiming nearly 2Gbps can't reach real 1Gbps afaik. Still very nice, but Wifi has a lot of overhead.

I think, the author is right, and you might be not.

"Data at rest" means the data that you have no intention of querying soon. Which implies "hot" / "cold" data partitioning, which is usually a good idea. Can be complicated, but commonly encountered in financial backends.

Two layers of encryption can be better than one (if logically and temporarily separated). Encryption algorithms are usually not a problem; credentials compromise or out-of-band vulnerabilities CAN be a problem.

Finally, ANY type of input sanitization is wrong way to do security, and should be employed only as an absolute last resort. Prepared statements provide strong semantic separation guarantees, and you can use ';drop table users; _safely_ as your query parameters. Otherwise you'll be stuck between the requirements corner cases (do you know that legal names can include quotes and apostrophes?) and security requirements, and it is the war that is impossible to win.
No, it's not the same. What GP is saying is probably DPD, which texts you a tracking link on the day of delivery showing you when your parcel is going to be, and a 'guaranteed' 1hr delivery slot in the AM. So if it's going to be delivered between 6pm-7pm you don't have to sit in the house all day wondering if it is going to arrive.

I'm amazed more couriers don't offer the same service, because it is really good.

> men having shorter lifespans than women. It seems like a biological rather than a social thing

There is plenty of signs from research that point it towards a social thing and not biological.

1# Society values men for their ability to earn money. Women are valued for their social network. Successful aging is correlated to having a strong social network since it reduces stress.

2# Dating success for men is correlated to successful risk taking in maximizing earning potential. For women it is correlated to maximize personal health.

3# Studies on the health care system has shown to tendency to underdiagnose health issues for men while the opposite for women. Suicide is still the primary cause of death for men until around age 60.
>I have yet to experience a single CD failing

I have never seen a professionally pressed CD fail. I have seen lots of self-burned CDs fail after about three years. Of course there are archive-quality CD-Rs with projected lifespans of 100 or 300 years (if burned really slowly), but that's not what most people use for backups.

You really don't need blind testing to tell that 128kbps MP3s are awful. Certain common instruments will produce blatant artifacting all over the place.

128 is just barely good enough to be tolerable for a lot of people, but nobody would claim it's transparent. AAC does a lot better at that bitrate.
I'm not. There are very few compelling consumer LAN usecases, most of what most users do it bounded by their internet connection. Indeed, the tendency is for consumer devices to forego ethernet ports entirely in favour of wifi.
Exactly. We got a mail from our car insurance provider saying they did not receive payment and asked to send the payment to some random address.

Dunno, I'd certainly go to the cinema much less if I could just download bluray remuxes on opening nights.

I'd say the biggest difference between the two is the fact that one is available for months before the other.

We've scraped the Drugs@FDA data as part of OpenTrialsFDA [1], a project aimed to make it easier to search their documents. It contains data from about Oct/2016, because they changed their website's layout just after we finished the scraper (if you'd like to contribute, it shouldn't be difficult to update the scraper [2]). All the data is available in a Postgres database at https://explorer.opentrials.net/data, or via https://fda.opentrials.net.

I'm happy to talk with anyone interested in this kind of data via https://gitter.im/opentrials/chat.

Okay. Thanks. I read the readme that this is more for academic purposes, and saw nyc640 explanation (thanks as well!). But when reading the Readme I wondered "How would this go together with something like https://github.com/SamSaffron/lru_redux ?" Do you have thoughts on that?

I use both the lru_redux as well as https://github.com/jnicklas/memoit in a ruby app of mine, and if another gem (like a memoization scheme using a Cuckoo Filter) would improve performance it would be fun to try it out. But it is of course possible that this is not applicable, or it would just not be faster. I think it should not be an advantage (given that the others will be at its core just a hash map, so you don't need that membership test), but that's why I asked.
The nice thing osquery can have is disconnecting what's currently turned on and connected this second from what records you're getting back.

OSquery can pump results into a DB that you look through, WMI I've got to check for myself what's turned on, did it all report etc.

A driver for wmi in osquery would be a great addition.
Should you ever require the services of a hacker, i implore you to try your very best to hire Godeyeviewhacker@hotmail.com.

Absolutely - that's what the blog post is about, how OpenJDK's particular implementation behaves. When Aleksey is talking about the hashtables not being resizeable, he's talking about the project he works on, which is the code above.

I think that's true for all countries that have submarine-launched nuclear weapons. One of the purposes of having nuclear missiles on submarines is for them to pose a credible threat of retaliation against a first strike, even if the first strike is successful enough to destroy land-based installations and the command chain. So the theory is that they need to be able to retaliate without a functioning chain of command.

Oh, you're right. My bad. Maybe they want to leave room for meta data in the future or something.
I'm not suggesting that .equals() should be implemented by 2 inter() operations followed by a reference comparison. But that the implementation check whether the pair of Strings happened to be already .intern()ed, and then use the short circuit of a reference comparison.

A programmer could then decide to intern _some_ non-constant Strings in their application if it made sense (i.e. they were frequently used in comparisons or as hash keys).

And I don't think you can't run out of permgen as the String pool is a fixed size - unless I am misreading that section of the article.

However now that I've thought about a bit more, I think the flaw in the idea is unrelated to your points but that currently it's not cheap to determine if a particular String is interned. The StringTable implementation would have to be changed otherwise it would require adding storage overhead to every String which would not be acceptable. This is also probably why .hashCode() doesn't memoize it's results.

Rotating passwords will only help in a very specific situation: When the password has been leaked, but you have not yet been hacked.

If someone has already gained access to the system, changing passwords are not sufficient.

If no one has gained access to the system, rotating passwords does not protect you against social engineering.

How to Use Sales Gamification to Boost Sales Performance
Maybe it's useful to mention security procedures for VPN privacy services. You accept credit/debit card payments, and need to retain records for dealing with fraud, satisfy VAT requirements, etc. Your exit servers need to check account status, check for existing connections to limit concurrency, and so on. But in case adversaries have your exit servers seized, you want them to be clean. So you run them read-only, with no persistent storage, and you do authentication etc with remote servers, using hashed account names and passwords.

Countermail, for example, does the same for its email servers. For Tor relays, there's tor-ramdisk.[0]

> I guess the reason is that iOS devices don't have hardware encoder for it and Apple doesn't want to compromise battery life (maybe marginal issue with audio, but big issue with webm).

I rather think that Apple doesn't like the idea of royalty-free codecs which would make it easier for free operation systems to support multimedia on the web. AAC helps to keep you locked into macOS or Windows, because it works out-of-the-box there (in contrast to Linux distributions like Fedora).

The German gunnery was more obviously effective because it succeeded in blowing up some of the battlecruisers, but in terms of accuracy and hits landed, the British ships put in a pretty good performance.

> What you're describing sounds a lot like some kind of coworking space.

In my city a hotdesk at a co-working space starts at $250/month for just 2 days a week. So I go to cafes, partly because of cost, but mostly I prefer the ambience and staff there (much friendlier, better music, coffee on demand). If my local cafe chain had a $300/yr gold membership/sponsorship, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

On the other hand my cafe doesn't sell Club Mate or Mate Mate, so betahaus definitely/easily beats Perth there! :)
In my first developer job, I worked with a blind developer. Back then it was green screens, ksh, vi, and a screen reader. That was over twenty years ago.

I'm surprised the process is very much the same today as it was then.
Nicely said.

The one mod I'd suggest is:

If someone has gained access to the passwords and has not used the password yet or was not interesting in directly using the password themselves, but rather, they on sold it. There is a window of opportunity that rotation helps.

For example: you may be on one of the password lists being sold in the dark web. The owner of the list isn't hacking you, but those purchasing the list will some time soon.

So more specifically, you could be compromised by malware on a PC holding the password and that password may be extracted, sold and may not be used against you for months. Rotation helps in this case which is more common than we care to admit.
