The new and improved grid fins debuted on this flight allow them even greater capabilities in that regard (greater control authority means they can achieve a higher angle of attack).

I would've expected at least an example assembly code reproducing the bug? How was it not discovered before, but only with the OCaml compiler? They say "unexpected behavior", does this mean that code compiled with this can give incorrect results? Can this have any security implication? How much code was compiled with similar patterns? Can the problem reproduced with any JIT compiler? We need to know what can cause this, maybe compiled and working code already contains such patterns waiting to be abused...
Not exaggeration, actual numbers:

10 min - Finding a parking spot at Alewife

15 minutes - getting the ticket if you don't have one (moot if you have a pass or stored value / Charlie Card)

10 minutes - walking to the actual train platform and waiting for the next train to leave

30 minutes - to downtown crossing because it has to stop every stop along the way

10 minutes - to walk from the station to your meeting

And that is assuming you don't need to transfer to another line.

Granted the first and last one are time you'd spend either way (unless your lucky enough to have the garage attached to the building you need to be in)

Drive time for said trip... 20 minutes
I'm a fan of yours. I asked before and I'll ask again as someone who is depressed into day 3 of a new annual round of OSCP study and yet again crippled by impostor syndrome: without a formal degree, what is there beyond your Amazon booklist?

I started MicroCorruption and RE flummoxes me. I keep coming back to it because I can tell how weak I am and it has pissed me off for 2 years. Even in OSCP i get bent out of shape on my insufficiency there and never focus on other stuff.

I don't want to be a Metasploit jockey. Where to from here? Online CS courses in C and ASM work my way up? I don't have a degree in it.
Iridium-2 Mission

One of the holy grails of solar is syngas: using solar thermal power to convert CO2/water to a mix of hydrogen and methane. If you can do it efficiently enough, the gas is the energy storage and you can either pipe it or use it to fuel a NG turbine/combined-cycle plant which will be more thermodynamically efficient than a simpler solar->steam cycle plant.

The reason it's a holy grail is because there are some major materials science breakthroughs that need to happen before it's feasible. Since the sun's energy cycles rapidly on the minute/second timescale, whatever receiver you're using to convert inputs to syngas needs to not be destroyed by that periodic, rapid temperature (and thus stress) cycling.
Given the number of bosses I've had with near 0 emotional intelligence, software development is one of them.
The landing burn actually used one engine initially, then three, then one again for the last bit. It doesn't burn three all the way through the landing burn.
Military is a very inefficient and focused r&d investment, it is definitely not a public infrastructure investment.

Redirecting to education will lower barriers of entry to high-skill labor, eg helping welders cross-train into software. This is not a proposal for free education for everyone to study anything... i said public investment, not donations
Cool concept, but why isn't it an app? Couldn't you use the mic on my phone to listen for volume spikes, or even fine-tuned sound patterns?

Surely a modern phone CPU can do audio processing a great deal faster than a common microcontroller. Plus it would be far easier to keep the phone charged than to worry about a second device running out of battery.
Hard to predict based on Trump alone.
Going forward I'd expect some slowdown

Slowdown in funding or launch pace?

SpaceX is cutting launch costs significantly. I suspect that many satellite projects that weren't viable before will become viable now, thus increasing launch pace.
I was following /pol/ since Trump's campaign started, back when I was certain he was just a sideshow distraction. Donald Trump's twitter account even winked at /pol/ at one point by tweeting what a 4chan poster asked, as well as copying their meme images. There was and is a very close connection there. It would be difficult to quantify the notion that the absence of /pol/ would have lost Trump the election, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were true.
I had access through my job and through university to Elsevier and other paywalled repositories.

I avoid papers found in "ScienceDirect", not because of some moral position, but I found often that their abstract does no seem so useful for me.
Oftentime there are lot of jargon and it is hard to figure out what is new and what take home points there are. The reader may get the impression that they try hard to oversell their stuff.

I even prefer some free publishers who have a much lower reputation like Indawi.

I have a different but still related problem with IEEE: On every subject it seems there are tons of papers, so it is difficult to appreciate the relative value of each paper.

I have no problem with Nature and some other paywalled publishers.
If it made it into a public Windows release, and is useful (well clearly it's useful, since multiple internal teams called it), the deprecation cycle is measured in decades. It's not worth deprecating something because it was poorly spelled, when there are lots of other things to deprecate for good reasons.
Firstly, you weren't asked the question. Secondly, you don't answer it. Proof was asked for yet you confidently come in with "Of course not" and no evidence or proof, for or against.
I have had the opportunity to both design a complex application from scratch as the sole developer and to be thrown into a complex system developed by someone else (who had since left the company). I have found the same truth: being the original developer makes you 10x (or more) productive than anyone else. It takes a lot of effort to bring anyone else up to that level and it will slow you down as you try. What makes perfect sense to you as the original developer will rarely make sense to anyone else, and understanding is critical to making changes.

Being a 10x developer is always situational. You have to be 10x faster than someone, and that difference in speed should not be attributed to "natural talent" when clear organisational issues already exist to explain it.
By the same line of reasoning it would be not false until we have proven it false.
I misphrased it. I meant the second launch of the weekend. Not the second launch of the fins.
Interesting read.

I've always wondered why straight porn can't be written with the modicum of a believable story to explain why the woman is there, and how she can enjoy what is usually mostly a one sided act to please the man. My guess is that believable stories/dialog/acting is a trifecta too difficult to pull off, at least under their typical budgets.
I've been working 80+ hours per week for nearly 20 years. I wholeheartedly enjoy what I do but I don't just work on one thing though. It's a combination of direct work, research, and FOSS.
What do you mean by nontechnological? I could not make sense out of your proposition. Could you please extend it a little?

I am arguing that comparing single philosopher to a large organized socio-political system is not sensible.
Thanks. I made a mistake in that comment, saying the lift/drag of the Shuttle was 1. The hypersonic L/D was 1, but during subsonic approach it was 4.5. In hindsight it kinda makes sense that wings do something. :)

The maneuver is more noticeable with the new titanium grid fins (needed because the old aluminum ones caught fire from aerodynamic heating). Not only are they larger, but they use a "sawtooth" leading edge that increases control authority.

They also happen to be the largest titanium forgings in the world. https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=42544.340#...
27% is better, though from a quick look it applies only to the US, and in Europe it looks closer to 15%. I need to take time tomorrow to find good sources on this.

I'm not convinced by carbon storage, though I don't know enough about it to be sure. It is my understanding that it is either energy-hungry (so useless because we don't and likely won't have enough carbon-neutral energy surplus) or pretty slow (also useless). And completely unproven at large or even moderate scales, too.
The order they are referring to is probably the DOJ settlement in 2002. There used to be a page called "Settlement Program Interfaces" in MSDN. This was also when winternl.h was invented.
To deploy 10 satellites, does the rocket do a series of burns, or do the satellites have enough propulsion to deploy themselves to separate orbits?
I'm relying only on personal experience. I know several people in real life that are "shitlords" online. They're doing it not because they believe the things they post, but because they've found it to be an effective way to shift the narrative and to throw their political opponents off-balance.

Likewise, I know a few people in real life that actually hold those extreme and (frankly) bigoted beliefs. As far as I know they haven't really changed their online behavior, and they're not part of that in-group.
What are the "serious inherent problems" in calling it emotional labor?
Per Elon's tweet those grid fins were much better behaved than previous versions. Nothing got hot enough to start showing up in the visible spectrum (good). And what was interesting for me was the lack of gunk landing on the camera. (presumably from the fact that the covering of the fins wasn't burning off like it had in previous flights). What is particularly impressive for me is the slow and steady progress on the 'landed' F9's. The first one successfully landed looked really beat up, and the next couple marginally less so, Friday's went through a part of flight regime that SpaceX had deemed "un-recoverable" and an this one came through looking quite good. Still feels like science fiction to me ...
Agreed. Though I'd add that objectivism itself pursued and achieved as an end goal successfully , opens blind spots as well especially to things like heuristics and intuition. Basically anywhere where models don't exist or are too flaky. The IKEA effect as a weakness should be about letting go of ego as a virtue rather than objectiveness as a virtue.
The idea is that the phone would wipe itself/lock you out/whatever when you use a particular finger, rather than unlocking. So if made under duress to unlock the phone with your fingerprint, you use the previously-chosen “duress finger” rather than the normal one.

It's important to be substantive if you raise a political point. Otherwise it's just Trump graffiti.

I am just starting in Networking and want to progress to NetSec eventually and I was kind of taken back by OPs advice to work 80 hours a week, I want to have a life, not work all the time, so your comment was pretty comforting.

> 2. Don't get certificates

I am progressing through my CCNP and LPIC-1, mostly because I want to get recognized for my skills, but I also see them as a guideline, what to learn next, kind of like a ladder, maybe one day I will get to the top of the ladder and have no where to go, but for now I think that certifications lay a path for me, what do you think about that?
The author has actually written a lot of great material on his blog: https://fastcompression.blogspot.ca/p/lz4.html?m=1

Not sure what you'd consider suitably documented beyond what is already out there. Not being patented or published in a journal look like positives to me.
> Avoid certification.

IMO that should be avoid current certification. Avoiding all certification for all eternity would imply that training decent pentesters/hackers is something that cannot be done in a controlled methodical way. Which would be a setback for the entire infosec industry, IMO, because I do think that such a thing (infosec is not a special snowflake) is possible.

I think OSCP is actually a big step in the right direction. The harder challenges in their training network force you (and encourage you) to deeply investigate the underlying security issue. That part of the training actually focuses on the underlying conditioning that you need to become a good pentester, as shown by their slogan 'try harder'.

It's the same thing that armies the world over do. The army also realized that knowing everything there's to know about tactics and how to operate a weapon is not enough, soldiers also need to be aggressive and need to be conditioned to be able to effectively engage an enemy. So there's training designed to increase a soldier's willingness to fire upon enemies when ordered to.

The same goes a bit for this training, where underlying simple technical guidance is provided at the start of the training, and later a trainee is left to themselves and pushed to investigate on their own, something that I'd recognize as one of the cornerstones of a successful hacker.

Still, I'd also avoid hiring a person for a technical position if all they can show is a CISM/CISP/w\e
I just went from "never touching ES6 and not writing JavaScript for five years" to "shipping a React app" in about two weeks. This stuff is not actually all that complicated.

I'd start here: https://github.com/verekia/js-stack-from-scratch

And then, once you've internalized what's going on here, break out create-react-app and just get to work.
The time you spend "painstakingly" evaluating and testing libraries is much, much less than the time spent painstakingly trying to do something in the way that the framework forces you to do it.

Using a framework is optimizing for the first few months of development and shooting yourself in the foot later on. That especially includes the time spent either finding devs who are very competent with the framework or training someone.

If you just use libraries properly, you can hire anyone (even someone who doesn't know the language at all) and just throw them into the code base. They can follow the code and actually understand it without googling every 2 minutes. There's no magic.

Have you tried both approaches long-term on multiple projects? If you haven't, how can you know that frameworkless is more work?
The satellites do it themselves. The deployments from second stage are staggered with pauses of 100 seconds between each to allow them to safely drift apart from the initial separation jolt. After that, the sats do their own thing.

I suppose it would not be as fun if the title was "A thrift store of Radio Shack goodies" but the truth is I've seen an example of just about everything they are auctioning off at thrift stores. Radio Shack moved a lot of product and its out there still :-). I don't think it will hit peak nostalgia until 2020. See that way people who were 10 in 1990 and had their lives changed by the neat stuff they could buy there, will be 40 and will be trying to recapture that wonder that has been beaten out of them by 15 to 20 years of CRUD programming.

EDIT: Ok, not the pictures of the executives and the stuff they handed out for sales person of the quarter :-)

Air Asia X and Scoot have been doing quite well in the medium-haul market (<8 hours) in Asia. However, Air Asia X just announced that they're abandoning a mooted 2nd attempt at long haul (Asia to Europe/US) because the numbers just aren't there; they'll fly Japan-Hawaii but no further.

It's probably better to skip breakfast and dinner, and eat only at mid-day. You're still generally active for hours after the mid-day meal, so you don't have the tendency to gorge and then curl up on the couch or go to bed.
There's a few VC firms (Correlation Ventures leaps to mind, as noted in the article) that invest solely on the basis of a quantitative model that looks at the various features of the business (market, founders, etc.) and then doing some kind of neural network/similarity scoring analysis on it. Of course, a big feature that I presume their models have which this paper does not is the understanding that an IPO is worth tens of small wins, if not more.

The real optimal setup here would be to pair that kind of mathematical rigor with the dealflow of an a16z or KP. I would suspect that both of those two would say that a similar model exists in the heads of their partners so far as pattern recognition, but..
(Disclosure: I live in SF Bay area with a bias towards it's long-term success)

It's difficult to predict anything 10 years out.

But when projecting industry trends within a geography I look to Financial Services (FS) as a comparable.

Both Tech and FS sell "virtual goods and services" with a distribution model that does not necessarily lock them down to a location.

But even after the great depression of 1929 and repeated stock market collapses, New York is still a major FS hub.

So, it's really the people and local supporting infrastructure in a region that keep an industry going; not the distribution model.

I assume Silicon Valley will remain a leading tech hub in both consumer and enterprise tech in 10 years. The supporting infra is taken for granted.

Same thing can similarly be said about L.A. and the movie making business. Nothing prevents other locations from making movies, but it's hard to beat a century of built-up supporting infrastructure.
Google's headquarters are located in Mountain View (Silicon Valley). They have satellite offices all over the world, so the presence of one in LA doesn't really support your point.
But that's all the time, not just ramadan.
They're totally a scam, and it makes me upset every time a company brags that their insurance covers Chiropractors. No wonder it costs so much.
For one thing, it simultaneously glamorizes and discounts the hard physical labor involved in doing things like cleaning up someone who is playing with their own feces and throwing them at you. For another, it discounts the actual education and intelligence involved in doing a good job of taking proper care of people. For a third, it just reinforces the pink collar ghetto mentality surrounding this kind of work.

Perhaps most importantly, it frames it like this is about the laborer having emotional discipline or something. The reality is that feelings come from somewhere and we routinely mix up "love" the noun that describes a feeling and "love" the verb that describes care-taking that meets a high standard. That feeling in one person typically grows out of the hard labor done by another. The person that inspires the feelings is very often treated pretty abusively. They exist to make other people feel good and to hell with their needs or wants, kind of like the recent story titled "My Family's Slave."
Yes, that's quite true. And my point is that vulnerable people are sick and tired of dealing with violence directed at their persons and communities and are voicing their discontent by saying they're not going to take it any more.

Why do these discussions always end up with liberals wringing their hands over whether any Nazis are going to get punched, but the opposition to the eliminationist rhetoric of fascists themselves is so muted? Yes, yes, of course everyone agrees that they're bad and that their ideology is bad.

But the reflexive agreement that Nazism is bad doesn't translate into action to do anything about it. Donating to the ACLU or the SPLC is great, but it does nothing to make the streets safer for vulnerable people. Surely it has not escaped your attention that many vulnerable populations are distrustful of the police precisely because of this legacy of injustice you mention, which has often taken place with the tacit agreement of the authorities. .

Muslims, jews, black people, latino people, queer people and so on are not enthused about being the designated victims for yet another round of The Oppression Show. Simply put, there are a lot of people who don't feel safe exercising their rights in the USA and are getting really pissed off about it.
You'd be better off participating in CTF challenges than doing the OSCP.
Bread and circuses are much more affordable than ever, and getting cheaper every day.

Every first world nation can afford to unconditionally give basic food, basic shelter and basic entertainment to every one of their (not global, though) poor people without asking work or anything else in return. Implementing something like this would be a major political and organizational problem, but economics-wise there's nothing preventing it; the industries that cover those needs for everyone take up a significant but still small percentage of the total GDP.

Very good article. My dad was a nurse for 25 years, and I remember in his graduation photo he was the only man with about 30 women.
That is exactly what I thought. I get that when it's public that is harder, but still not impossible. Software is practically never "set and forget", when those times when it is, you won't be affected either since you often don't upgrade the runtime or OS either (which is it's own can of worms).

Scrolling through logs on Linux and macOS shows a few 'deprecated' warnings here and there, and looking those up show that on average they have a few major release lifespans, and sometimes never even get removed because there is no cost to keeping it and no benefit to removing it. Often, programs have a fix in whatever update comes next and the owner often fixes those deprecation issues as a side-effect.

It's strange that Microsoft is so very good at constantly shooting themselves in the foot with this type of never ending backwards compatibility. (that often turns out to be not-so-compatible after all)
I don't care which battery brand I use. The Amazon Basics brand is cheap. The packaging is subtle and minimal. Oh, and I can have them delivered in an hour!
