Fiat currencies have underlying value. If you want to operate a steel mill in the US without getting arrested, you need to procure a certain quantity of US Dollars and remit it to the IRS. No, you can't pay your taxes with bitcoins. It has to be dollars. That's why the US Dollar has inherent value - you can redeem them for the right to operate a business in the US.

I think I remember reading a claim that they pushed for a small API surface in order to make sure it got through. Now that it's part of the language, anyone else can work on getting those extra features in.

You can implement most basic functionality easily enough, MDN even has an example [0]. Although I agree that it should really be part of the language.

This is the part I don't get. They produced ground breaking research on a GPL platform, what did they expect to happen?
I've no knowledge about IC design, but it sounds to me that even the biggest name in CPU industry doesn't (or do they ever) do formal verification? Is the process like when I'm writing some mediocre code and say to myself: "hmm, it probably works", and throw the bunch into the version control (whereas they throw it to the wafer fab)?

If you can't handle the truth, then every truhful communication can be "toxic" to you.
This is amazing and unexpected. I hope this sets a precedent for other developers to follow with their old titles.

I can't even fully grasp what you're getting at. It really feels like you're grasping at straws.
I'm detecting some cognitive dissonance on the definition of a major metropolitan area.
There will always be apologists for this system based on murder and monumental evil, where each generation lied to the next.

Russia was at the center of this abomination. For some reason the Russian people people never learned anything from 800 years of history. Today they continue to love their tyrants and embrace poverty, lies, murder and evil. We can only hope their moment of enlightenment is near.
I don't understand this mentality. If you're paying $3600+ in rent and are struggling, then you need to find a cheaper place to live or find a roommate, because you simply cannot afford it.
It's not. The comparison is using the same APIs as provided by LevelDB/RocksDB. Not the transactional ones mentioned below.

TransactionDB* txn_db;
Status s = TransactionDB::Open(options, path, &txn_db);

Transaction* txn = txn_db->BeginTransaction(write_options, txn_options);
s = txn->Put(“key”, “value”);
s = txn->Delete(“key2”);
s = txn->Merge(“key3”, “value”);
s = txn->Commit();
delete txn;
I don't know what country you're in, but here in Australia I have known people have to travel hundreds of kilometres to get access to the latest research. If a wide range of papers are needed this can be cheaper than paying per-article, but is still an extremely expensive method of access to research which (a) we are forced through taxation to partly pay for, and (b) is surprisingly often required (eg. environmental & medical data for legal purposes, making political representations, etc).

It's not free. Every game has "in-app purchase".
Because with the swipe readers there is only one call to the payment processor.

However, with chip transactions there are multiple calls for different payment processing flows. For example, a transaction could require 5 round trip request responses from the chip to the payment process meaning 5x the time required.
I've always found it weird that de Raadt is admired for being abrasive, and Torvalds is pilloried.

I've always wondered, if the grsec people are such believers of 'security above all else', why they just don't work with OpenBSD instead.
Publishers rejected me, and I haven't gone on to sell 1,000 books per day. I've sold enough to be kind of interesting.

Beware of salience bias and extrapolating from exceptions.
what a weird objection. I have no idea how to read it like you're trying to - you're saying it implies that every day he writes, from beginning to end, 1,000 books - or, one book every 50 seconds, for 14 hours, and sells each of them to a publisher for approximately $0.33 each? (1,000 * 0.33 * 365 = six figures)

Or what is this absurd reading that you think it said? The only way I read the title is exactly how it is meant to be and it doesn't seem click-baity at all.

Yes, I see that; but toomanybeersies was replying to jpatokal's post about Air Asia's safety record, so I assumed part of his comment about AA "running a tight ship" is in relation to that.

SE Asia carriers -- specifically Indonesian and to a lesser extent Malaysian operators -- have a reputation for cutting corners and poor training. Garuda Airlines, Indonesia's flagship, was even banned from flying to Europe by the EU for poor safety standards [1].

Here's another article ranking airlines by safety: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/news/The-worlds-safest-air... It's worth nothing that JetStar is a subsidiary of top-ranked Qantas.

I guess it's not too far from the reality - at least since Windows 10? Windows got a lot of stuff that is better than Linux in that regard.

My point isn't that it's not possible, the inputs are readily available, it's that the elite ultimately want 80% of everything produced, that's where it doesn't work.
I am playing with YubiKey storing certificates, then using the certificates like any other GPG setup, so I can have redundancy and revocation. But I have yet to make it dead simple enough to use for real-world application.

Or maybe I am just procrastinating.

I assume this is pounds/dollars but still.
I have been in the business a while myself. It's a lot of work to stay current (and well-rounded). But, I've had relatively long stints in my career with one big industry change. I'm not sure that years of experience necessarily translates from one company to the next, although a proven track record of adaptability and flexibility is helpful. I've come to rely on networking for job opportunities. Having someone willing to vouch for a candidate made a difference when I was on the hiring side.
> Each lookup into disk is a blocking one, which causes a Goroutine to block the OS thread.

Can you have multiple OS threads created at the beginning so whenever an OS thread is blocked the OS scheduler simply schedules another OS thread? That's how most databases handle blocking disk IO, right?

Doing blocking disk IO has to be a common task. How do other golang applications/databases handle this issue?
Yeah I just downloaded. This seems like a good native drop-in replacement. Even the menus et all seem to be in the same place.

And Unicode works, yeah!

I have a really old computer and keepass2 opens stuff instantly so I'm guessing I'm probably not using good enough security.
Exactly what I wanted to say.
That's a very strong claim.

Some evidence in favor is that, at least in the early days of Linux, Microsoft took the same strategy of prioritizing backwards compatibility over security - and reaped the rewards by becoming extremely popular and extremely full of security holes. So clearly the strategy worked for MS. On the other hand, MS did respond and prioritize security, and was able to pull it off without compromising backwards compatibility too much. (For instance, last week's stack-clash vulnerability straight up doesn't exist on Windows because MSVC and the NT kernel have been doing the right thing with stack probes for years.)

But some real evidence against is that this whole backwards-compatibility thing is a kernel policy, not a userspace policy; no distro cares nearly as much. With the a.out to ELF transition and libc5 to libc6 transition back in the day, and to this day with OpenSSL versions, the GCC 5 libstdc++ ABI change, etc., there's not a ton of backwards compatibility in what binaries you can actually run on a real-world Linux system. It seems hard to believe that the kernel-to-userspace compatibility story is what made Linux popular, given the vast amount of userspace-to-other-userspace incompatibility.

It appears to be ad supported with an in-app purchase to disable ads for $1.99.

According to eurogamer,

"You can play them forever without paying, or you can spend a one-off fee of £1.99 to ditch the ads, which appear on the start screen, the save screen, and I think at launch, but will not interrupt play in anyway"

And even your experience is pretty atypical. Most people probably couldn't write a book 1000 people would be interested in buying at all.
And I am way more concerned about the economics of all that pollution, and how that seems to be ignored by so many people.

The Sonic game uses the most vile type of in-app ad. The ad requires you to play Game of War for some indeterminate amount of time. You are made to play it after every stage. I hope Sega changes this, it basically makes their game unplayable.
Has there ever been any successful privately issued non-backed non-crypto currency?
Serious kudos to Sega.

This is how old games should be handled throughout the industry when possible. The likelihood of someone not already familiar with a title or franchise to play it is a function of A) its cost and B) how dated it is. Once a game is seeing marginal returns, it's kind of a very corporate mindset to try and suck it dry of every last penny. Especially when you view games as a form of art.

I fear for so many incredible titles, especially as we possibly enter a real VR age.

Unless I force it on them (I probably will), my children may never give a second glance to the titles I grew up with and consider masterpieces, when they could sensually immerse themselves in a modern AAA or VR title.

So many great soundtracks, assets, feats of code, all deserving to be in a museum somewhere, lost in the ever-growing sea of content. Eventually only treasure-hunters like myself seek to experience and appreciate them.

Not only that, Sega can much more accurately determine what franchises might see profitable continuations, given a large enough sample size.

Having not played any of these titles on mobile myself, I can only imagine that Sega has ruined this very noble idea with intrusive ads and a payment scheme for removing them.
The parable of the boy crying wolf is not about lies but about desensitizing your audience to what you are saying. I've read enough of the rants to know there is very little signal to all the noise he makes.

The grsecurity stuff could be bad but I sure as hell am not gonna get my analysis from Linus. If he acted more like a grown up then maybe but he doesn't. He character assassinates and then says you are doing silly pointer arithmetic. Can just mention the pointer stuff without shouting and screaming at author of the patch.

The drama in kernel dev is a direct result of his abrasive approach. He screams and shouts so grsecurity screams and shouts. Everyone else loses. The kernel dev space needs less drama and more grown ups.
How so? It's perfectly okay for pilots to be spiritual/religious. It's not okay for pilots to take time, in the middle of dealing with an engine failure, to ask passengers to "pray" for a safe resolution.

The golden rule for pilots when dealing with an in-flight emergency is to "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate" [1], not "Pray".

Not everywhere. In Texas companies that do transmission are forbidden to own generation and vice versa.

Which causes problems for grid battery storage. Is it generation or transmission?
That's right. We didn't want to require users to include the copyright in the binary.

Another advantage Boost has is it is "corporate lawyer approved", meaning the license has never been an issue for any corporation wanting to use D.
IIRC you can escape that one by tapping in the top right before it loads.
* With an in-App purchase of $1.99 to remove “non-SEGA ads”, at least in the ones so far (like Altered Beast).

Also, at the current rate of release, it will take years to reach “nearly all” titles so I would take this with cautious optimism. Your favorite games may show up tomorrow or 3 years from now.

Might this be a clue?

Any job application which is in the reaches of an automated process must be a joke endpoint. How many other automated applications do they get selling employee skills, sex, penis enlargement pills, fast loans, malware and other trash.

Disclosing information should be the first "BS" smell for a job. I'm often well into getting work done before the person I'm working with figures out how old I am, where I live or other personal details. Granted, that's freelancing.

I live in the Philippines where the age requirements are actually advertised. And these ages seem pulled out of a hat. And I get the sense that people running the show at all levels couldn't tell their asses from a hole in the ground. It's a pleasant surprise to find someone who seems competent at convincing you that there's some purpose for them taking up a spot at that spot or role they are taking up in a serious time commitment out of their life.

Clearly the hiring process is just as broken as everything else. Why expect that hiring is going to be significantly more awesome than the rest of the system?

Don't interact with machines. Get to know real people. Show people what you can do. Preferably find people who tell you they could use your help rather than you telling them that you need a job. ;)

Marching neural network
I think it was flagged because my appreciation for Microsoft's award-winning operating system was a tad forthright.
It would be nice if they allowed users to update rather than vendors. I have a mobile Xeon. I don't know if it's affected or not.
The example of the recent fire in London strengthens my point. If we neglect security, then there is a price to pay for it. And now in London they do fix up buildings, because it's what makes sense.

Linux including a breaking change to increase security does not stop any business. If you are not patched to the new version, don't upgrade. The breaking change could be announced well ahead, and people would have time to fix their stuff.

That would be akin to the government releasing a new regulation but not forcing anybody to upgrade directly, but by offering tax relieve to anybody who did.
Wow just about the same situation for me it sucks so sad. Maybe we'll meet again in another life :(

Oh, nice to see personal experience being backed up by scientific research. Do you have a reference to that research?
It is, and he's wrong, and he's usually wrong when security comes up.

See also git using SHA-1: people warned him about this, and he argued passionately and incorrectly that git doesn't use SHA-1 as an integrity measure. He also argued passionately and incorrectly that SHA-1 was unlikely to be broken and worrying about it was a waste of effort. And now other people are doing a lot of slow work to dig ourselves out of literally every single git repo in the world relying on a broken crypto primitive.
Due to social conditioning, It's not commonly known, but you don't actually need to eat every day. You could lose 10 lbs in just a couple of weeks of not eating any calories, but I would recommend eating 1 lbs of spinach and maybe a combination of other green, red and orange vegetables: that will keep your calorie count under 200 for the day. Drink lots of water.

I know the hunger will drive you crazy in the first few days, but your body gets used to it and it's not so bad, after 3 days.

The first time you do it, perhaps start off with some 16 hour fasts at first for a few months till your used to that, then you can increase it.
+1. Not to mention each party will have their own VPN's so internal hops to the right machines. That said - these days even swipe reads have multiple payment processing flows especially for co-branded cards.

Next question then becomes why it needs those additional trips? Authorization is already done on the chip, it should only need to verify the amount is available.

> Unless and until a significant portion of the tenure committees of major academic institutions changes their selection criteria, this will not change.

Couldn't the top tier of Post-docs also make this happen? If they simply refuse to publish in the top tier journals, the departments who are competing for them will have to either relax their publishing requirements or take a 2nd tier candidate.

This only works if a truly top tier candidate who can continue to work without limitation in a Post-docs position. I.e. someone with the research equivalent of "fuck-you money". But it doesn't have to be all of them. When a 2nd tier institution can just make an administrative change and basically get a free 1st round draft pick, there's going to be institutions that take the deal. It doesn't even really hurt the scholar, because they really don't need to be at Yale, they can be successful anywhere with strong students and plenty of money.
Academics generally are rated by the prestige and number of their publications when it comes to who gets their contract extended or who gets tenure. Prestigious publications happen in prestigious journals (or often conferences in CS, but same principle), the prestigious journals almost all are for-profit (and of course that causes the ugly feedback loop that the best papers only are submitted to those journals, further establishing them as good journals).

In most fields, submitting to a "lower-quality" venue when you could get into a better one means unnecessarily risking damage to your career (or, in case of established, tenured professors, who don't have to care so much about their own ranking, damage to their co-authors'). Also, most universities have access to all important journals, so they don't feel the pain of closed access so much.

While they might like the idea of alternative venues, the universities incentivize them to optimize for "impact factor".
OP here. FWIW I got my leads entirely off of spamming my resume around. For the prior 15 years I'd done freelancing for local companies and had a few-year stint in a small company, so didn't have a network. I was in small-town Michigan so once freelancing dried up I knew moving was going to be a requirement. Thus I was able to spam the whole country. That probably helped my cause a bit.

I noticed you mentioned LinkedIn in another thread. FWIW I don't have an account and it didn't appear to hurt me.
Plus your card is half-way back to your wallet before the first call is even made when you swipe it, but with the chip, you can't retrieve your card from the machine until the transaction is done. Even if the transaction took exactly the same amount of time, the chip method takes longer because your execution thread is blocked waiting for a resource to be released.
