Alternately, it is a good assertion but the interpretation of cheap is wrong.

Cheap should be defined in a way that is inclusive of all the costs, both monetary and non-monetary societal costs. Then I think everyone does want everything cheap - this is just a statement that nobody likes waste.

But it's just word games. It would be better if we did away with these pernicious generalizations.

In general CTFs are a list of problems you're trying to solve in a set amount of time, ranging from a few hours to a week or so (and some open CTFs are not time bound, just for learning). They will tell you something (normally very, very minimal info or a hint) and you try to find or figure out a string to 'capture the flag' and get the points for that problem. The harder the problem, the more points you get. The person or team with the most points win.

The types of questions range depending on the CTF and the goal of the CTF. Some of things from the OWASP top 10 (1), while others might have logic problems, math problems, or reference problems where you figure out the answer instead of finding it.

Decapping an IC is simpler than it looks. Heck, anyone with access to a university cleanroom can (with practice) easily reverse a commercial IC. Understanding how it works is a different matter entirely though -- that's where microscopy and circuits knowledge come in. Analog circuits are significantly more complex as you need to characterize (measure resistance, capacitance, etc.) individual components to be able to accurately model their behavior.

> Given that, a bit of, "Hey, guys? Maybe think about how this choice might affect people?" is, IMO, warranted.

That's exactly what I have a problem with... there's a leap between "this sucks" to "therefore they must not care about how this affects other people" that is not justified. If you want something that fits your expectations of how Unix should work, we already have that, it's BSD and it's constructed with a lot of care not to break users' expectations of how Unix works.

The GNU project has really never had that as a project goal. The whole "GNU's Not Unix" acronym is not just a stab at copyrights, but it's a pretty good summary of their goal to create something which is not Unix but instead better than Unix. I'm not saying that they're doing it the right way, or that they actually are better, but that's their stated goal. Pretty much every GNU tool has some incompatibility with the equivalent Unix tool, and they don't care, because they're not trying to make a copy of Unix. Back in the day this was a problem because people would write shell scripts which would assume GNU userland. You still see it in a lot of packages which say that you have to use GNU Make, GNU Awk, GNU Sed, GNU Bison, etc. instead of the equivalent Unix program.

These pieces of advice have fallen by the wayside since GNU userspace has become the norm, but if you really want the Unix experience instead of the GNU experience, go use BSD.

Wikipedia has a good description on what OCSP Stapling is[1] and how it works. When I read the Apache projects' WONTFIX reason, I presumed that it was related to how plain OCSP requires the client to "phone home" in order to check whether a certificate has been revoked or not – which has implications for the privacy of the browser.

However, now that I know OCSP Stapling works (the web server caches and proxies time-stamped OCSP responses that are signed by the CA), the Apache position is much less reasonable. As a Let’s Encrypt user, I “phone home” every couple of months to renew my X.509 key and certificate. That’s not a privacy concern for me or anyone else who happens to browse my site.

I also found a good article by Hanno Böck[2] which provides more details on how OCSP Stapling is thoroughly broken on Apache as described by tialaramex).

I think that part is misleading. Vijay Vasudevan (a member of the TensorFlow team) has repeatedly put down the notion that the internal TensorFlow code is significantly different than what we see:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/696dzy/d_i...

Obviously, this is taking the word of someone who is incentivized to get as many people using TF as possible, but I haven't been given a reason to not believe him.

I believe that the public TensorFlow repo is very close to what they use internally. That said, I'm sure there is a huge amount of internal tooling (for easily spinning up clusters internally, profiling, probably an automatic device placer) that we don't get to see. But that has more to do with the fact that its designed with Google's specific infrastructure in mind than it has to do with "hoarding the good stuff".
I used to participate to a few as a hobby back in my university days. The online ones are generally jeopardy-styled, where you get a bunch of challenges across a variety of categories. Web, Crypto, Stego, Binary Analysis, Reverse Engineering, network packet analysis, etc. There's a bit of everything really, and they also try to have a range of difficulty with an appropriate point system.

CTFTime [0] is a great central hub for finding, tracking and reading about CTFs. After each CTF event, many people publish "writeups" which is basically their "walkthrough" of how they solved each challenge. You can try looking at those to get a rough idea of the various skill sets required for these events. The ctfs github group [1] is filled with them.

I found the plugin on flippa.com. Flippa has a lot of crap. Maybe almost all crap. But there are some good things there if you just watch for it. There was a really high quality magento plugin and there I wanted to buy and I chatted with the dev a bunch but it didn't work out.

I was looking for something that was programming centric rather than sales/marketing centric, which is fairly limiting. And something that was <10k which means you have to filter through a lot of cruft. If I had more to spend then I would look on FEI which seems to have things that would be more interesting to programmers, but is a higher price point. Empire Flippers is another place I'd look. https://www.sideprojectors.com/ didn't seem to have anything interesting to me, but I checked there a bunch too.

It's been a bit volatile so it's hard to say how it's trending, but I don't think I've helped or hurt it much. If anything it's making a bit less. Haven't prioritized working on it so I can't expect much.

To an extent. The op doesn't have to do one or any of these. They are suggestions which can be leveraged.

As I mentioned in a previous comment I probably didn't quite understand quite what the op was asking.
Yep. Wake me when an AI can tell me "hey, that monthly trending conversion report you asked me to pull...yeah, you're missing two days worth of data when tracking broke, so it will just make your numbers look lower when rolled-up monthly and be hard to notice."

BTW, that is also the reason I not only set alerts, but review data at a daily level when pulling any rolled-up reports of significance.

The preferred model with fork() in a thread is to exec as quickly as possible. Otherwise pthread_atfork can be prepared given adequate design: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/pth...

If you have work to do in the thread do these in the

Signal safety in pthreads can be handled generally via the pthread_sigmask|queue family. The corresponding facility in processes is similarly known. Yes, the conditions you posit exist but they are the product of bad development imho.

Now it's a cool toy, but there might be more practical applications for a 4D rigid body physics engine. Some materials design approaches[0] involve iterating through shape space to determine what shape a particle should be to get it to assemble into a desired structure. A 4D physics engine might be useful for this shape space iteration, as movement through shape space could be accomplished by moving a 4d rigid body along the 4th axis.

Having a tax linked to business revenue is contrary to the spirit of land value tax.

I maintain that it takes utter foolishness to not acknowledge the screaming intelligent design behind nature. Seldom does it get clearer than when we as information systems designers study the information systems in nature, and find basically all our "inventions" all there already, in an uber-elegant, uber-effective, uber-smart version.

Heck, even the TCP/IP protocol has its counterpart with the addresstags (post translational modifications), for sorting in the biological router called "golgi apparatus" [1].

We never observed a process creating these structures that doesn't start from already existing such structures, and it's not like we see these structures popping up spontaneously everywhere in the universe. No, we didn't find them elsewhere than on this very planet, out of the hundreds we can observe.

The combination of such ingenuity on every level -- physical and abstract -- with such an astonishing beauty and such purposefullness, also on every level, makes me cringe when the cred for all of this is given to this unobserved idea of evolution .

No, I'm not talking about the changes we do observe in nature today which also go under this term, but on the origin of these solutions and structures.

> Oh... HUGE difference. What percentage of the portfolio is the position? How long have you run this strategy; I ask because those are huge returns that indicate to me you're taking huge risk which can work short term but nearly always wipes you out over a sufficient amount of time.

No single position can be more than 10% of the portfolio, there is no limit on concurrent positions, and the strategy cannot use more than 20% of the account's capital. Each position has a profit target, normally a 5% increase on the cost basis, and when it's opened a GTC order is immediately submitted to flip it. But this isn't a market-making algorithm or something that requires serious latency considerations - the target holding period for each position is less than five days, after which if the position is still open it's flagged. The strategy has been running continuously for only eight months; prior to that it was backtested with historical data before launching live. It used to be that the mean holding time was around 2 days, but lately it's been flipping positions in fairly short intraday scales (an hour or less), which means I'll be adding more risk accountability to it.

> If those returns could be held for any length of time you'd be wealthy in no time.

Yes...however this strategy has generated less than $30,000 in profits since its launch (on an initial outlay of $10,000), and I don't reinvest profits.

This is an options trading algorithm, and I don't think there is enough liquidity available in the targets to significantly ramp up capital from here without adding on more leverage (and risk). The other difficulty is that a confluence of factors needs to happen somewhat simultaneously in order for a candidate equity to become a target.

Due to this, it's more accurate to say that the strategy generates a few hundred dollars weekly to biweekly (on average). I may be overcautious, but this is primarily a research project for me. I would not actually be trading with real capital were it not for the fact that I'd like to demonstrate the results in the future.
This is baloney. In fact, it's offensive baloney.

There is one TensorFlow. The differences between using TF internally and externally have primarily to do with which RPC bindings it uses (the external one uses gRPC, which is open-source, and the internal one uses the internal RPC framework, which is tied in with all of the internal cluster stuff and authentication and whatnot), and things like filesystems that only exist in Google. The other difference is that there are linkages to use TPUs, instead of just GPUs, which is hardware that doesn't exist outside of Google. The final differences are just in how the BUILD files link against library files -- the external version downloads protobuf for you, the internal version assumes it's there to use. yadda yadda yadda.

You can see all of this in the code. It leaks out in places, such as:

https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/d0d975f8c3330b...

Yes, it's that _super secret_ use of a different integral_types.h header. (/sarcasm). If you look through for things like PLATFORM_GOOGLE in the defines, you'll see a lot of the things that differ, and they're incredibly boring. The core of TensorFlow performance-related stuff is Eigen (or, thanks to Intel's recent contributions, Intel MKL) for executing Tensor ops on CPU, or cuDNN for executing Tensor ops on GPU. Just like every other freakin' framework out there. There's a reason that all of these things tend to reduce to the performance of cuDNN...

How would one launder money with bitcoin?

What would that look like?
I'd rather someone implement a tipping API where I can allocate money per website per minute (or hour spent). When the money runs out, depending on the configuration, the website can choose to serve me the page or ask me to reload (on money for the website)

They get small amounts of micro transactions (I'm talking less than a cent) and I change my behavior to stop going to useless sites.

everyone wins!

personally, I believe ads are a disease. if your website isn't worth paying a penny to go to for an hour, then just shut down. a penny an hour could be very sustainable for plenty of sites. take some random forum: 15,000 thousand users per month, let's say the average user goes on for an hour a day, or 30 hours a month. 450,000 cents is about 5 thousand a month. not too shabby. if your website is that awesome up the price to 10 cents and increase your money an order of magnitude.

the problem is the culture of "free", unfortunately.
