> For your claims on Xeon's bugs, just wondering when was the last time Intel had to patch the microcode to fix bugs that can continuously crashing day to day workloads such as compiling some linux packages?

Intel had an even worse one in 2014: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=762195

Glibc merged a patch to use Intel's shiny new TSX transactional memory extensions when available to do hardware lock elision, except TSX was completely busted, and any time a process used pthread_mutex_lock, there was a chance that it would immediately crash, or corrupt memory silently. (In practice, this would happen all the time.)

Their solution was to release microcode that just turned off TSX entirely.
On the other hand, the goal of the US was to prevent the north taking over and the goal of the north was to take over.

Falcon 9 is a new rocket without a lot of statistics about mission success rate. They had a few failed launches in 2015 and 2016. This makes launching your payload on a Falcon 9 more risky and you have to pay a higher insurance premium, than if you were to launch on a Soyuz rocket (all large payloads are insured). If they can get more successful launches under their belt, it will lower their risk and make insurance premiums go down. Then they can up their prices.
Damn. Yeah same here.

When 10 came out, there was mention of a newer major version of Samba being included. I'm not sure what version is included in this 11.0 release, but if it's a major release or two higher than that in 9.10, then I'm kind of hoping it'll help.

That being said, upgrading my NAS isn't a high priority task. It's working "well enough" for now as is. :D

Same same way, the hunter appreciates his hunting activity more compared to how much he appreciates his pray. Which makes the statement "I appreciate my pray" meaningless in the context of hunting.
If you only hunt in a life threatening hunger situation, then obviously appreciate your own life more than the pray's. If you hunt for sports, then you appreciate your hobby more than your pray's life, and so on...

> With the exception of free software mailing lists, people simply do not know how to use email. Bottom quoting is the default. We can thank Microsoft for that one, I think. I can't understand why anyone thought it was a good idea to attach the previous message to the bottom. Most people just accept this as the way email is and never question how unbelievably stupid it is.

I think a lot of email clients expect that type of quoting/top-posting (conversation view for example). Another problem is that certain mobile email clients make it impossible to not bottom-quote. That is, they just present a composition window and don't give you the ability to position your text within the quoted email you're responding to.

Though I do find it interesting that people on Hacker news, Slashdot, and reddit will generally follow the convention of responding inline if they quote the parent post in their response. I don't recall anyone ever following the email "convention" of bottom-quoting.

Interesting, must admit I am skeptical of the earnesty here (PR...). I am at work so I couldn't flesh it out properly, but I sent a cobbled up list of topics that I would love an official consideration on (hell, if they want I would love to work with them on some of this)

1. Digital selfdetermination. Having the right to not have pictures of you made public (where is a setting that automatically UN-tags me and blurs my face in pictures I don't approve?) as a private person vs. having a right to talk about public individuals, companies, filtering etc. without impedance

2. Following on that, collaboration with law enforcement instead of deleting/censoring.

3. Retroactive denial of usage. This applies more in the EU, but how does facebook plan to address the idea/need to revoke usage of my personal data after it has been used/possibly sold (IIRC you don't sell data directly, but that might have changed since then)?

4. Data takeout: what about making it easy to download and archive all posted content, but also uploaded content related to the individual (tagged pictures, mentions)

5. The status of facebook as a transnational, as
"infrastucture" and it's relationship to the democratic and social systems in different countries

6. The ethics of curating and counter curating topics in the feed/related content for powerusers

7. The role of the defacto largest dataset on human communications and the use of that for AI research as well as the impact of AI and automation on society. Combined with that the position facebook would take on possible solutions like UBI

8. The impact of the "highlight reel" on depression and mental health. Studies have shown that heavy facebook use correlates with depression
Elasticsearch is not schemaless. It typically requires you to define a mapping (schema) upfront. You can set it to automatically infer the mapping based on the available data but this does not make it truly schemaless.

MongoDB allows a free form schema for every document. You're again comparing apples and oranges.
Anything specific you want to accomplish for maximum team impact?

For example, are there metrics you're trying to hit, or are you trying to ship as many projects on time?
The complication is that the North took over and then within two decades had become intensely capitalist and a major trading partner of the U.S. So the U.S. did get what it wanted: it halted the spread of communism. It's just that this had nothing to do with anything the U.S. did, and communism just collapsed under its own weight. History is funny like that.

Personally, as long as I get to write code without fear of having a gun pointed in my face or my house bombed out (both of which actually happened to my dad...we take a lot for granted in America), I'll consider that a win for me.
In the first 14 years of Norway's Highest Security Department (SHS), their version of solitary confinement, they only had to put 11 prisoners there! [0]

The Wikipedia descriptions of Anders Breivik's confinement describe SHS [1]

According to a recent Business Insider video [2]:

- "With few exceptions, judges can only sentence criminals to a maximum of 21 years" which is less then these three men did in solitary!

- "In Norway, only 20% of prisoners return to jail. Compared to the US where 76.6% of prisoners are re-arrested within five years."

Which is even more impressive when you learn that as of August of 2014 Norway's incarceration rate was 75 per 100,000 people, in contrast to 707 per 100,000 in the U.S. [3]

So we Americans incarcerate almost 10 times as many people as Norway with a recidivism rate more than 3.8 times as high as Norway - clearly our focus on "reasonable cost" is justifiable!</sarcasm>

Do you really think that technical proficiency requires "intellectualism" as it's normally understood? Because I sure don't.

Interview with Oliver Stone
Paper pulping factories are built where fresh water is abundant, they don't have a problem. These areas also tend to coincide with wood sources. It would be incredibly inefficient to make paper on desalination water when you can just ship it from a rainy place.

Whenever someone is making a big topic out of water consumption (not to be confused with water pollution!) without specific ties to an arid environment it's just a desperate attempt at greenwashing. Water scarcity is real, but it is not universally real everywhere.

Or equivalently: there is more than one way to turn a string into a list. It can e.g. be a sequence of bytes, unicode chars or grapheme clusters. Being explicit about the conversion is therefore a good idea.
Improving the alignment between security and IT service management processes
I switched back to mutt 5 months ago, when my startup started to grow fast and I needed a sensible way to deal with lots of email in multiple accounts. I haven't looked back. I still have gmail as a back-end, but I use mbsync to keep local copies of all my accounts, and msmtp to send mail.

Some resources I found helpful:

- http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/the-homely-mutt/ (good, but it recommends offlineimap — I tried it and found it to be slow and buggy. mbsync is much better.)

Admins; please consider editing the title, it has a redundant "things" that makes it hard to read and confusing.

The blog post's real title ("10 things Idris improved over Haskell") is better; unless that's a problem due to being a list (which are often spammy). Seems fine/serious to me, though.
It is possible to set a maximum size for core dump files via limits.conf / ulimit. If this limit is 0, it effectively disables core dumps. Call ulimit -a from a shell to see the current maximum size.

The linked article also explains how to change where core dumps are saved. Maybe your system is configured to save them in a specific folder (I have no clue what macOS' default settings for core dumps are!).
I often get more satisfaction from removing code (and keeping / improving the functionality) than I do from writing new code.

Big Ableton Fan here and using it for more than 5 years, even though recently I purchased Logic Pro X too. I like that he added a scale feature to Ableton in his draft (one thing I love about Logic). To me this theme is not so easy on the eye and lacking contrast.

I am currently using this theme by PureAV (UI designer of Serum Plugin) http://pureav.deviantart.com/art/Ableton-Live-9-Skin-5893383... but it also is not too easy on the eyes and sometimes I switch back to the default one.

"It's not statically typed, which can make working on a large codebase with more people more painful. It also forces you to write more unit testing code coverage to make up for the lack of a static compiler checking things for you."

I never missed static typing on large code bases but I had numerous bugs caused by python's implicit type conversions - string to iterable of characters ["h", "e", "l", "l", "o"], None to False, string "no" to True, 0 to False, "" to False, etc.

A lot of this mirrors C's infuriating implicit type conversions.
It's obvious from the title that frequency response is being used as a proxy for quality, and it's outright stated multiple times such as "assuming that the perceived audio quality is largely determined by the spectral magnitude response of headphones".

But it's a bad way to test frequency response. And don't pull out those weird undefined words when this was a discussion of important objective audio-quality measures being ignored.

Explaining something is compressing information and then transmitting it. As we know, there are limits to how much we can losslessly compress information.

So, no, you cannot explain everything in simple terms. But you can find sweet spots when trading brevity for accuracy.

Nothing teaches you how your technology of choice really works like taking apart a massive horrendous codebase.

My takeaway from this post kind of is that there are probably too many variants and derivatives of SHA-3. Then again, these days normal developers should probably use some recommended interface of mature crypto libraries anyway and shouldn't play around with cryptographic primitives directly, so maybe more choice for the library devs is good.

Surely, Apple isn't still aching about the Newton's poor recognition capabilities.

Any ideas why this might be so? Yes, I know there are 3rd party apps that claim to do the task, but a built-in facility which works alongside the keyboard would be far more uniform.

Unrounded Twitter
There is something inherently wrong with this I think. This trend with knowledge, like as any commodity, getting cut down into smallest intelligible or consumable piece and delivered that way is not suitable for disciplines like math. Sure twitter is good for memes, one liners, little nuggets of knowledge or headlines, and sometimes even tweet chains but math requires more context, more rigor, more attention by the consumer. Which is the opposite of Twitter.

Sure it can be used for link sharing, but in my opinion reddit offers a better kind of model for this with its structured comments section.
