> Worst case scenario you move foreword with less data and insurance does what it can

Well, yes. Just like, after a house fire, you rebuild and try to carry on. It is still catastrophic.

> Also, just because devices are on the same network does not mean they're homogenous.

Of course not. The point is that there are many pressures towards running homogenous systems - easier to hire for, easier to manage, fewer support systems to run, fewer interop problems, bigger vendor discounts, etc. etc.

These pressures are hard to resist, but we have to do better at running heterogenous systems, because without them, your entire farm can burn down before you notice.

Nothing you say is wrong, but just because "it's just software" doesn't mean these aren't catastrophes.

"When the alarm goes off a second time, you're likely at an even deeper" Unless someone is so tired that they fall back into REM within 9 minutes I doubt the snooze alarm is worse than being woken from a deep slumber.
No, but under Lenz Vs. Universal a take down under the DMCA must considered in a subjective fair use analysis before being issued. This sounds like it wasn't done. As for how much of something allowed to be reused the law states the minimal amount needed for the critique or parody, if this is the whole thing as is sometimes the case in an image then that is something for a judge to decide.
Iraqis thought the same thing, as did most of the Arab world when fighting the Israelis. While Stalin was partially right (quantity has a quality all its own), the most valuable factor in determining the outcome of air combat is pilot skill. And even if the Fitter pilots were as good as the Hornet pilot, they don't have as good ESSM/ECM systems, nor as good AWACs providing support.

The Bug doesn't even typically carry 6 AAMs. The one that did the shootdown probably only had 3-4 depending on its mission tasking. They have to worry about bring back weight when landing on their carrier. But for our hypothetical, the Bug can carry 12 missiles without a lot of trouble (1). It might not have much range, and the drag would be a bitch, but the Fitters would go down in flames...

No, but it can lead you to making wrong decisions.
I'll echo that: Yay Cox!

Wish I had a choice of ISPs, though. When I first moved where I was, I could get Time Warner or Optimum. Now, it's only Time Warner (renamed Spectrum). No FIOS, no Optimum, no Cox, no RCN, nothing. Spectrum or bust.

We don't care. We don't have to. We're Spectrum.

I run latency graphs from a Linode data center nearby and it's all over the place, with daily ups and downs. It's clearly heavily overprovisioned.

At least I usually get 300Mbps, but I'd much rather have 100 symmetric.
It does seem useless to make the IV the same as the key. But is there a reason making the IV the same as the key is worse than using 0 as an IV?

Just asking.
Maybe, or maybe common sense says the burden of proof go to those who say increased consumer purchasing power won't increase demand.

Maybe common sense demands thats businesses won't pay for more employee hours than they have to in the first place and thus demand only decreases if overall revenue decreases.

I mean just saying "common sense" is as usual a way of pretending that your own biases are obviously correct.
"But today it connects networks of vastly different sorts: computers, yes, but also financial networks, distribution networks, road networks, water networks, power networks, communication networks, social networks."

This is, I hope, incorrect.

Power, water, road, etc. should not be Internet connected and in many cases should not be networked at all.

Homeowners doing cute things with arduino and their lawn sprinklers (and learning good lessons about simplicity and fragility) are one thing. It's quite another to bear the responsibility for critical infrastructure.

I hope the adults in the room have the wisdom and experience to eschew these kind of "improvements".

A Simple Python Workflow for DevOps
I just don't get that logic: saving $10,000/yr is important, but docking my benefits isn't a great way to do it.

If I have 1 soda per day, it's less than 1% of my salary, and I don't necessarily miss it for monetary reasons, but why would I see it as anything besides you slashing my salary/benefits package by a fraction of a percent? Any time your plan to save money is to slash my pay/benefits without warning or negotiation, it's a good sign that I should start looking for employment elsewhere.

It's also a fiscally poor choice: the time lost to me debating if I should have a soda (5min; since the choice is non-obvious now that it involves a trip) and going to purchase a drink during the work day (10-15min) costs more than just preemptively buying me a can of soda costs by an order of magnitude.

If half of the devs spend 5 minutes a day thinking about drinks now that they're not provided, at a 50 engineer company that's costing 2 hours of developer time a day. Developer time is between $40-100/hr, so you're talking about ~$100/day in lost work because you're not buying 25-50 sodas. Whatever you're saving in soda costs doesn't offset that. (And if they actually leave the office to go get a drink instead, you're tripling that cost.)

I just find it odd that they're so focused on what a benefit costs, they don't analyze what it's providing to the company in value (by, in this case, alleviating a related cost).
Who is well known to have been bipolar.
I made a mistake in asking this question. I guess there was a limit to the question length, which for some reason I didn't see.
regardless hear is my full question with a little bit of detail.

I have been assigned to build a Drupal 8 "CMS" system. After working for sometime with mild success there is a possibility to use another framework to build a more flexible and robust platform.

The scope of the project is not defined which is part of the problem, but I digress. (Basically, I working with people who don't have clue as to what they want) I think it's time to move away from Drupal and build a custom CMS. As the project will have a variety of non Drupal feature in the months to come. Now what I need is some facts to back this up. Wappalyzer used to provide charts of usage of certain frameworks.

I was wondering if there any site or articles out there I could use to prove to a non-technical person, why we should move away from Drupal. Website usage, security concerns, or hiring trends, etc.

Although I don't mind Wordpress, it has such a bad security reputation, the sysadmin won't consider it.

I would like to use Laravel or Codeigniter but need some evidence as to back it up.
I don't see where the Perspectives contributor is using the UW researchers' motivations as the main thrust of his (not particularly great) arguments -- he seems to be interested in comparing study design at the very least.

And even if he was, it doesn't excuse alacombe.

Zapier is terrific. We use it to power internal dashboards, for automated distribution of company data and several other tasks. Great product.
But Zillow is explicitly claiming that they do not claim copyright on the images. So the McMansion Hell person doesn't need to claim fair use.

I'm having a hard time seeing what exactly Zillow hopes to achieve? Do they think it's working?

> That's the problem with this area, given that you are the only one in the study.

If it's only true to you and not to others then it's a perceptual thing. Therefore subjective. This would tend to indicate it's not actually a real effect but a perceived one.

> The first area I've determined that shouldn't be as hard, is to construct a way to see an aura in a camera system.

Well firstly you're going to have to:

- define what an aura actually is.
- prove auras even might exist.
- prove auras are measurable.
- find a system that can detect this form of energy.

and.. well... that's been the case for decades. No-one seems to have got much past step 1 because it all seems to fall apart then.
I do wonder the same thing. While I do need points in the day to just stop working and relax my brain, even daydream, I never feel the need for an actual nap. I have to wonder if diet and fitness have anything to do with it.
Free trade or aspirations to such is/are not an ideology. i.e., "The body of ideas reflecting the social needs and aspirations of an individual, group, class, or culture. or "A set of doctrines or beliefs that form the basis of a political, economic, or other system".

Humans trade don't need theoretical underpinning to trade goods and services with each other. They have done it since the dawn of time. Even monkeys do it. I'll scratch yours if you'll scratch mine. And indeed it percolates down to the personal as well, as Eric Berne noted in Games People Play.
The article author is complaining about an MSDN article not being updated. The content even says it applies to VS 2005 at its highest. That's a hint of how old it is. Is he going to get the print version and complain about that next. If programmers are using this without thought that is on them not the example code.
Not an OS, but Mozilla is rapidly updating pieces of Firefox with Rust (with lots of ideas & code coming from Servo). And while browsers don't necessarily match the complexity of modern operating systems, I think that having Rust be part of something as complex as a browser will be good for Rust and systems programming.

To be CP, your client and the server database have to both view the same consistent data, so your client can't be available if the database isn't available.

If your client is available even in this case, then you have some kind of eventual consistency.
I see it as a way of investigating possible unconscious bias or even hostility towards minorities in the Rust developer community - from easily fixable things such as male-bias in documentation (e.g. examples using male pronouns disproportionately) - to vitriolic sexist and other abuse in chat and forum groups.

Fortunately the Rust community isn't GamerGate, but if we can eliminate those attitudes sooner, then that's in Rust's long-term interests.
People object to bags of money winning court cases and to rich assholes turning their riches into an unfair share of power, via courts or otherwise. No contradiction here.
I would love to see someone knowledgeable answer this (IANAL) but my guess is that it would have about as much force as a book that has similar terms in the first few pages that you pick up at the library. IOW, none whatsoever as long as they are not harmed by, say, data transfer costs.
Does this affect customers? Alcohol somewhat, swearing in office but not with customers no. Therefore, no swearing is a stupid policy to change, limited cultural benefit high cognitive tax. Alcohol in the office has really harmed one company I worked at, and no one missed the omission when it is not there. I understand when you are a two person team and your kitchen fridge has beers, but a giant company pretending to be that instead of people just getting alcohol when out makes no sense. Just go to a bar and pay for it yourself.

I misunderstood your comment - I thought you implied that people mostly consume porn when they're not in a relationship.
see above, some of my questions was cut off. The answer to why they picked Drupal is because... The sysadmin that somehow became a manager did some programming in the early 2000 in Drupal. That is why they picked Drupal. That sysadmin/manager has left, so I have leverage to make some changes.
While you are generally correct, parody is a pretty strong part of the fair-use doctrine. Regardless, it appears that Zillow itself doesn't even own the copyright for many (possibly all?) the images, making this topic of fair-use moot to begin with.

Either way, I am not a lawyer and my understanding, ultimately, is limited.
What about in a place with no unions? No minimum wage? No workers rights?
That's pretty disturbing. Though to be fair, the article in question was written a while ago (since it targets .NET 2005), and to be less fair, MS doesn't really review their documentation very well, at all.
I've been toying with GuixSD recently and really love the immutable system configurations.

There are some caveats, but I would not mind using it on production servers. Sadly I haven't been able to convince my colleagues yet.

Stretching it a little bit here are you, now?

The guy figured out how to automate his job when no one else before him did it. Let the small guy get the fruit once in awhile. What do you think they will do if he tells them? As he said, they will just take the software and get rid of him. They won't even ask themselves if it is morally right or wrong. I say keep the good work and spend the time with your son. I wish I could automate my job that way and scratch my balls the whole day, even at the office...
I mentioned it could come from the profit too. If you're a business owner you can forego your margins to account for added costs and run it the exact same. Some businesses like cosmetics have a lot of room to play with. Some don't and it becomes less attractive to be a business owner, having employees, legal risks, lines of credit, etc.

However, many businesses simply respond by upping the price on their menu or adding a surcharge. The price the consumer pays for the same good they received before is now higher. How is that mythical?
I am really stoked to see Tango on here. I maintain that literate programming is actually a good idea. The nice thing about Tango is you can work either on the code file or the markdown file and it will automatically synchronize them, and it integrates with cargo. I would love to see Tango be mature and widely used.

"Fraud" is a _really_ strong word.

Intention matters greatly in situations where someone is doing something which may be interpreted as duplicitous.

This is someone who is in a situation that not many people have experienced. He has the integrity to think out loud about his actions and bring them into question for himself and others.

I think he should come clean about the automation to his employer (he doesn't have to say its been going on for 6 months, of course). Unless the employer is a total ghoul, it is unlikely that this would get him into trouble.

If the story is true, the guy is NOT a fraudster. There are vastly more unethical things to worry about than a clever guy who puts VBA macros to good use.
> Is there actually any actionable information here other than: "Don't make unpopular decisions?"

Make sure you actually do a cost-benefit analysis, even if it's just quickly in your head. Decisions like this are the result of seeing a metric and thinking about optimizing just that one metric. It's not easy to sum up costs and benefits of connected policies. And it can be very hard to a priori determine what the costs and benefits are. But when people come to you and complain about a new policy you should probably listen.
> Zillow has brought a knife to a gun fight.

I've never understood that expression. Counterstrike taught me that knives are useful in a gun fight.
If that were the case, then why didn't Zillow just say that?
Looks like you need to make a DNS request to a malicious server to be vulnerable. This means you are safe if you are using 8.8.8.8? Or another trusted network? (Or your ISP if you trust they haven't been compromised).
I disagree that it is "anyone's guess how the market will respond". It is been clear for going on 3-4 years now that the market will respond buy buying up all the Bitcoin and price will continue to skyrocket. I'll never need a job and have been telling anyone who will listen this same thing for years now.
Your comment was already addressed by the person you are replying to.

> This supposes a level of knowledge and efficiency which labor markets don't have.
additional to your points, i have to agree with you as well. I would be mortified if a blogger was using an image of my house for ridicule and condemnation in order to feed their paycheck.
for the articles description: "how [the economy] rewards people who own stuff rather than people who do stuff"

i cant believe i never summarized my own feelings that succinctly. of course the reality is it does both, but i think its way out of balance towards ownership rather that doing.
"They are trying to get rid of 'everything is a file' and move to a pub/sub service model."

I thought we were trying to move towards "everything is a file" ... isn't that the goal of the plan9/Inferno movement ?

I thought that was the progressive direction in UNIX design.

We want to move away from "everything is a file" ?
I do not know what you mean by this. Again, my point was that any backdoor is highly unlikely to stay hidden.
> It has to affect product quality and safety

Like anything else: it's fine in moderation. Abuse is still abuse.
Not true. Faster isn't _always_ better. If some features seem to take a lot of time, it appears to the user that it's "working". Take a website I hate a lot - TurboTax. A lot of the wait times between transitions is incredibly long. But I'd bet money that it increased conversions.

Yes, it's more of a UX issue than an engineering one. But users don't give a shit. If something appears slow, no one knows/cares if it's an animation or a slow server.
They inserted errors in the first "drafts" submitted, not the final result to be submitted. I feel like that makes a difference.

There is some manipulation going on, but there seems to be a difference between submitting a code review with bugs inserted on purpose, and shipping code with bugs inserted on purpose.
Huh, I thought the Rust team includes front-enders and how Rust websites look is a purely stylistic choice.
No. He is working remotely and the employer is paying for getting the job done.

There is no way of something ideally happening in this case.

The amount of taking the higher moral ground on Stack and here (in only a few minutes) is laughable. He is a single parent trying to get things working for him and his son. He is even questioning himself about this. This puts him into 5% of the honest population. I am old enough to know that internet warriors of higher moral in real life are mostly, I say mostly scumbags who would do much worse than this guy.
I just started and I can't seem to get to the treasure chest. Sigh, am I that dumb?
As more people use Rust and we see all the cases where unsafe is typically used, could more unsafe code patterns be formalized as safe code?

Are there any situations where unsafe code cannot be avoided at all, where there exists a program-theory proof that unsafe code must be used?

If it's for performance reasons, then a new safe language construct could be introduced to replace it - such as how a safe range-based loop eliminates the need for bounds-checking with fixed-length arrays.
Those big expensive power surely need software to run the reactors/generators. If there only there were project experts could use to make minimalistic attack resistant operating systems with only the stuff they need. If only we could build Linux From Scratch or a Yocto sized Linux, but alas we may need to settle for small full feature operating systems like a BSD and install only the minimal software we need.

Easy practices like these will keep getting easier. Security is the default position of computers when they are not assembled haphazardly, because secure is a subset of correct. As we fix bugs we increase security. Combine this with half a clue about operational security and defending against "cyber-weapons" is something your organization does without noticing.

We are even now getting to the point were Journalist know to ask questions like "Did your organization fuzz this piece of software?" (Did you read the article yesterday about the windows defender bug). The market is applying more pressure on security and we will figure out how to make the market happy, because that is how it works.
Outlawing slavery takes away a valuable cash infusion from folks who should be allowed to sell themselves and tap into their unrealized labor equity and potential future gains.

What is your definition of "low barrier to entry"? I guess it includes a 4 year CS degree or lots of C experience and $10-100,000 in startup funds for mining and marketing.
On some level, this is basically "capitalism 101." If I don't need my resources now, I can put them to work so that I can later benefit from them. This leads to me having productive assets, which pay me some return.

If I could not acquire productive assets, there would be much less reason to save. And it's unclear how one would save, as banks would likely not exist either. You can solve this problem somewhat by having a centrally planned economy. But then you have the problems that hit those.
Agree - seems to be a greatest hits of personal finance ideas with current buzzwords mixed in like "basic income" and "privilege" that aren't central to the post. Be a saver not a spender. Invest in things with strong cash flows relative to the purchase price. Use your personal connections, such as family members that can make good business partners. Take lucrative boring jobs if you can stomach them. Be lucky.
The employer can choose to fire them, not because they are in trouble, but because they are no longer needed. I'm surprised you don't think that is likely.

I would bet most companies are interested in reducing "waste" by not hiring people no longer needed. The way the OP talks about the company, it seems like they have no need for actual developers.
The article was specifically comparing database software, not entire systems; if your client is available when the DB is unavailable, then you can have an AP system regardless of the design of the database.
That's a good insight. I agree with that point and think every city should propose laws that support a living wage. We just need to understand what that living wage should be in any given city and consider a variety of factors, some short term and some long term.

> If those companies paid them a full wage the taxpayers would pay less for social welfare programs.

Maybe. That assumes the poverty line stays the same and nothing happens with the price of other goods those minimum wage earners need to buy. It also assumes there's no impact on 1) number of jobs and 2) number of hours and thus total income as the UW study discusses.

As long as part time employee is allowed you cannot guarantee an income for any given job. So a min. hourly wage doesn't definitively solve the problem of mandating a fair wage as we are discussing.

> I'm also not that sympathetic to the plight of companies like McDonald's when it is earning in excess of $4B in profit in a year.

Me either. But McDonalds has already shown a long time ago that they can eliminate min. wage jobs and/or hours by getting consumers to throw away their trash and fill up their own drinks. This is part of the consideration #1 I mentioned.
