Ok, that's just plain wrong and absolutely wreckless advice. Everything from software development 101 classes to OWASP data validation can call you on that. If you don't understand why you're wrong, please, please, please stop developing software now until you can understand it.

Years ago, I had a similar idea, but never did anything with it. Look at DNs in LDAP (and X.400/X.500), they are based on attribute=value pairs. What about a filesystem in which filenames were collections of attribute=value pairs?

e.g. /home/geokon/program1/src/foo.c

could become:
user=geokon/program=program1/category=src/lang=c/name=foo

You could potentially decide that the order of the attributes is not significant, only the set of attribute-value pairs.

Downside: Too much typing. Although, maybe you could allow standard aliases for attribute names, so that:

user=geokon/program=program1/category=src/lang=c/name=foo

could also be written as:

u=geokon/p=program1/c=src/l=c/n=foo

(I think the attributes should be first-class filesystem objects, just like files are, as opposed to just text strings. Some of the values, e.g. an enumerated value like lang=c, should be first-class objects as well.)

I also took some inspiration (in concept not syntax) from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_classification such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colon_classification

Being too different from what everyone else is doing would be the real killer, however.

Enterprise wireless has some way to go before you'll actually need even 1Gbps. Any sane wireless engineer is using 20mhz channels. That yields a PHY of 217Mbps on a 3x3:3 client/AP. My iperf results are usually about the 170Mbps range using said client.

>How does clicking a link from an email prove identity?

Most of these document signing services, as you point out, don't prove identity. They provide a more convenient simulation of the "download, physically sign, scan and return, a pdf document" process. Which doesn't prove identity either.

Personally, I appreciate the shift. It's just as silly, but less cumbersome.

The first track on Roots Manuva's recent album Bleeds, "Hard Bastards", in fact deals with this. In Britain, the dole is sufficient enough that whole successive generations can live on it. Roots Manuva still deplores the situation, because while no one starves these days, the masses are still denied any political power and pulling themselves out of their state proves an immense challenge in a very rigid class society.

Why are so many IT recruiters technically completely incompetent?
I realize that this took you 0 minutes to set up, but Google has 20,832 employees in Research and Development (2016 figure[1]), many, if not most, with PhD's. What might be obvious or intuitive for you and me might require them to have a team examine, do an internal publication with peer review, etc. I would prefer them to set this up but understand it takes a bit of time. Still, I think they should fast-track and get it it up. For amateurs, it's a 0-minute solution. I am sure they can do it quickly and professionally. Security by obscurity really isn't enough - someone there needs to do it. Cases like what we're reading about here show the importance of this. They're already done the bulk of the work.

Good luck if you're in a branch which has Windows-only software, such as 2D/3D graphics. Blender is definitely offering some good competition, but as I hear it from CG artists, it's still not quite there yet for most projects. If your pipeline is dependent on Adobe software such as Photoshop, Illustrator or After Effects, then you are also stuck with Windows. Rendering (2D or 3D) jobs can often take days if not weeks to finish.

"However, a policy that succeeds in simulation often doesn't work when deployed on a real robot. Nevertheless, often the overall gist of what the policy does in simulation remains valid in the real world. In this paper we investigate such settings, where the sequence of states traversed in simulation remains reasonable for the real world, even if the details of the controls are not, as could be the case when the key differences lie in detailed friction, contact, mass and geometry properties"

As someone who grew up loving music while listing to Nth generation tape copies on a really shitty walkman I just don't understand this line of reasoning.
A lot of articles like this overlook a lot of physics that actually matter a lot. Not only would it be incredibly difficult to get humans up there, much more so than Mars, but even once we get there we have serious problems. Just like Mars, we can solve many problems with electricity. We can create water and many chemicals, provide shelter and even ways to grow food. On Mars you can get electricity vs solar, which is perfectly doable. You can take some solar panels with you, over provision for damage, and build-out capacity over time. Saturn is too far for solar to be of any use. The only power source there is probably geothermal, unfortunately there's no lightweight way to convert geothermal energy into electricity. At least there isn't any that I'm aware of. This is quite a problem, as without electricity most modern conveniences cannot be bought. In fact, modern human life might be very difficult without electricity on a place that is not earth.
As a former cakewalk software user it used to piss me off royally that I had to pay for the MP3 license to unlock the feature. It was a trivial amount (19bucks?) and I understand why they thought it was a good idea(their way of sticking it to Fraunhofer, and a ridiculous fee) but it ended up feeling like the customer that just spent 500 bucks on software was the one getting screwed especially considering how much cross licensing cakewalk did/does.

Every potential threat should be considered, but weighed against likelihood when prioritizing.

Sometimes you make cost/benefit consolations. 100% airtight would be great, but 100% airtight doesn't actually exist. Most organizations with finite resources have to make risk/reward decisions when there are as many threats as there are with web development.

I can't really tell you if the Cuckoo Filter will improve performance since it depends on so many factors. But if you have some free time then why not try it out and find out for yourself? In case you do, please let me know what performance you derive out of it :)

I wrote it is mainly for academic purposes because the main advantage of Cuckoo Filter is that it takes a lot less space than other similar filters. It achieves that by using only a certain amount of bits(6) to store the fingerprint etc. In Ruby, you can't really control memory allocation on a bit/byte level so you lose that advantage.

The rest mainly remains the same. I suspect the bottleneck in this implementation is the hashing algorithm (FNV-1a). I chose it because of its relatively good collision resistance. Plugging in a faster hash algorithm would definitely improve performance.
This is from Oracle JDK sources:

public boolean equals(Object anObject) {
if (this == anObject) {
return true;
}
...

So if both strings are interned, this shortcut will work. I guess, your benchmarks were wrong. Microbenchmarks in Java are hard to implement correctly.

hashCode is cached as well in field `hash` and lazily computed:

public int hashCode() {
int h = hash;
if (h == 0 && value.length > 0) {
char val[] = value;

for (int i = 0; i < value.length; i++) {
h = 31 * h + val[i];
}
hash = h;
}
return h;
}

Everything there is optimized till the last cycle, I'm sure about that.

I can think of a few reasons this might be growing, at least in the US.

The types of restaurants that typically require reservations seem increasingly hectic, perhaps because real estate costs mean they need more seatings worth of diners per night to break even. Whatever the case, I try to keep my interactions with hosts and hosts servers, pleasant and brief, because they're so obviously harried. (I actually think this is a problem for big city fine dining restaurants, where servers are expected to do things like refill your water glass every time it drops below full--you feel like you're creating a burden by eating your meal, and it's just stressful to spend a lot of money to eat in someone else's hectic workplace). The same seems true at medical practices and some other kinds of businesses--I just feel bad spending a lot of time on the phone with an obviously extremely busy receptionist trying to find a convenient appointment time.

It's not really that simple either. For the US, there are different paths for liability limits, reporting periods, etc, for the different combinations of credit vs debit and card-present vs card-not-present and Visa vs Mastercard. The rules are a mix of various consumer laws like "Truth in Lending" as well as Visa and MasterCard policy. There are areas where Visa and MC differ in policy.

Your note about "onus on proof lies with the cardholder" is less true for Visa, for example.

It makes more sense to pay someone to do that for you if you value the time it takes to do all of the above more than you value the cost of a sandwich.

There is the crux of your... argument. How about you read the book and then come back? You sure have a lot to say about something you never looked at.

You can't improve how "the other side" is arguing (or not arguing), but you sure have 100% control over your own behavior and discussion habits. Attacking the people instead of the work is as bad as it gets, especially if you never even set eye on the latter. I won't read it either, but I don't have an opinion about it that I'm trying to share.

I buy vinyl only as a last resort if it's a vinyl-only release or rare classic I'm interested in (yes, there's lots of stuff only available on vinyl - old and new).
Then I just rip it and add the digital, lossless result to my collection.

The vinyl format itself is too inconvenient for my taste and the audio quality is too dependent on various factors like used equipment, condition of the media and quality of the pressing.

I actually thought about writing a tutorial on how to write a complete "classic" LISP implementation. I know there are already hundreds of toy LISP tutorials but having LISP 1.5 as a goal and implementing it in much the same way it was implemented originally isn't something I've seen yet.

"But somehow you would assume that an IT recruiter must be interested in the technologies they work with every day, no?"

Indeed no. The author is failing to see it from the recruiter's point of view. Recruiting is a sales job. Just like selling real estate, cars or double glazing. It's a numbers game and it involves a lot of cold calling, and a lot of rejection, which means recruiters have to be thick skinned and resilient. Candidates should remember they are not the customer; the hiring manager or company is the customer as they pay the recruiter fee. As a candidate, you are the product. Other non IT skills that are essential to recruiting are mapping organizations and networking. The author, and many devs who criticize recruiters, are overlooking all that.
This is an interesting solution, thanks for sharing. This would be a cool feature to build into open source ORMs.

I still use mp3s - compatibility is generally better than any other format and take up a more reasonable amount of space than lossless formats. I really don't hear a difference between an mp3 and a lossless version, and that is with a much better ear than most non-musically trained (I have given useful critiques to artists on WIPs related to mixing & mastering). In addition, I have over 1 TB of music that is almost wholly mp3s - it's not terribly practical for me to have that in lossless either.

And ~90% of the recipients would think "ensure my system is properly secured? How the heck do I do that?"
The way I get around that is by having a static keyword that must also appear on the user side of the email address.

So, if I'm dealing with Walmart, I would give them:

[keyword].walmart@example.com

or

walmart.[keyword]@example.com

Then I configure my catch-all settings to reject any email addresses that don't have that keyword.

Of course, the keyword is not secret, so it's possible for someone to infer what I'm doing and construct an email address that passes my spam check, but in practice, nobody goes through the trouble, because I'm not a big enough target.
Doing this (for Scheme, but same concept) was the start of my programming languages class.
