I used to use the DNS challenge for my (few) sites. Unfortunately i'd had many problems so I switched to HTTP. These problems boiled down to:

1. Namecheap's API is rubbish - extremely rate limited so after doing 2 or 3 in an hour it basically stopped working

2. Propagation delays - I don't know if this was provider specific for Namecheap and Gandi, but sometimes lego would just hang waiting for LE to confirm propagation.

HTTP challenge works fine and is far easier if punched into the load balancer rather than relying on each back end.

Note note of these problems are the fault of LE from what I see. I'm going to see if any of the ACME clients support updating Google Cloud DNS which I use now, as their propagation time seems minimal.

Thanks for your work btw in securing the internet.

The answer is no, absolutely fucking not, and the fact is that you are with one post defending the moral rectitude and high ground of American soldiers who refer to their victims as "bug splats" when adults and "fun-size terrorists" when children, and with the other post justifying their wholesale firebombing of civilian population centers because of the unsubstantiated potential for a separate effect that you admit was totally unforeseen and unintentional.
I stopped using Facebook for a variety of reasons years ago and I am starting to regret it. In my case it had a clear negative effect on my social life, since friendships are heavily based on repeated unplanned interactions and many of these now occur on the service. If you add to this the friction of contacting someone outside of the service (in a context where they are a clear minority), the slight difference builds up and affects how friendships develop during student life.

The privacy issue is certainly a factor but over time it feels more like an expression of vanity. I am just a face in the crowd, what matters is the relationships I can build with others in the present before my pubes turn grey. If Zuckerberg becomes the Dark Lord it will be a collective problem anyway.
As an ideal, a non-violent world is great. As a policy? No, you can't unilaterally disarm, that won't work. We might quibble about the means, but I can't say I really disagree with you.

I just wish there was a bit more emphasis on prevention. Build up their economies, erase their cultures (nicely...), and in a century or two maybe there'll be less cause for war.
I watched the video and the speaker spends a great deal of time making some very elegant (if somewhat obvious) points. But then at the end he comes to the wrong conclusion, Imo. He blames the corporations where millennials work and passes the responsibility for fixing their attention/relationship deficits off to them! This is totally backwards.

Every generation has their dopamine hits. Of course, as society creates more leisure time, the number and (arguably) complexity of these increase. That is the trend. But, as always, the responsibility should be squarely on your own shoulders! You were not "dealt a bad hand." If that's a truth, then everyone ever born was dealt a bad hand. If being born at the time when the length and quality of life (health-wise) is at its longest, then deal me in! There are many, many benefits to being born in this time and as always, it is up to us to find the life we want and the balance we need.

> # Order is important. The last matching pattern has the most precedence.

That seems like a misfeature. Whenever a format does this (XSLT? Some Apache config?), i end up confused at some point.

I get that in this case, it lets you write your backstop rules at the top, which is nice. But it will trip people up.

In fact, i'd say any kind of order dependence is a misfeature. CSS-like precedence rules based on the specificity of the match are good. I have no idea how you'd define those for regular expressions, though. Perhaps they should just allow explicit weights on the rules?

By the way, if anyone is wondering what colour to paint their bikeshed, just give me a shout.

I'd wager that some will survive by:

1) Getting very close to the crops and intertwining with them to make weeding very hard

2) Looking almost exactly like real crops (as-in, to the point where most humans can't tell the difference and the machines need to start taking genetic samples)

You're totally right though; the machines have an adaption-speed advantage, so I'd expect this to be a very effective technique overall (assuming that the robotics pan-out).
As GitLab user, I think the concern for me is split focus. For everywhere there's a tightly integrated built-in tool (issues, CI, container registry, etc), there also needs to be a separate, parallel effort to create, maintain, and document a sufficiently rich plugin interface that a third party can create a similarly tightly integrated experience when plugging in something external.

Basically, they build the hooks but aren't dogfooding any of it, since their own integrations don't have to.

And speaking from the perspective of someone using GitLab with Jira and Jenkins, it just isn't the same. Is that necessarily because of problems with the interface or is it just those specific plugins? I don't actually know.
... and when they don't want to hear your solutions to injustices, put you in a cage, and burn you alive... what then?

Supposing you sit down with them for a month, and convince them of your world view and your solution to an injustice, and they agree, and then you go back to your respective lives. Their culture is going to exert pressures that make them want to rip up their agreement because it makes no sense in their everyday social and political environment. They don't maintain the frame of mind that enabled the agreement. How do you propose to deal with that?

Theater is much more than the stereotypical dark square room. Round arenas, street performances, they're pretty common. And even immersive plays are being done in many places nowadays.

People will pay attention to what's happening, there's no need to worry too much about someone simply ignoring the action. Besides, even casual YouTubers do positional sound nowadays, which can be used to "lead" the spectator.

An alternative to hiding the news feed is unfollowing (not unfriending) people. I've unfollowed all but my immediate family and about 10 of my closest friends. None of them really post memes, only interesting life events/travel. Deleted the app from my phone too. For me this is the best solution. My main Facebook use case is photos. I don't like to take them and my friends aren't going to waste time emailing me them when they can put them on Facebook for everyone. If it wasn't for photos I would have deleted it.

It's such a pity that AWS don't offer a managed Kubernetes cluster as a service.

Our team has "wasted" a fair bit of time researching and implementing all the bits and pieces to build pre-prod prod Kubernets environments, whereas Azure (and obviously) GCE's out of the box solutions make it so much easier.

Lots of hobbyists (or rather say: gamers) were keen on getting a decent soundcard or 3D acceleration card - until it became very mainstream.
I do. Facebook peaked and is decline in its early markets but still very strong and growing in other parts of the world.

Interesting question is do they actually make any money in emerging markets and are those billion users actually an asset.
What to say when the interviewer asks: So how much do you make?
I mean, it's stupid, all the games and apps are stupid, all the videos are stupid, interaction is clumsy, almost everything I try to use shifts steadily to the left until I can't see anything anymore without turning my head, and eventually turning my whole body around to keep up with the shift, and all around it just barely works at all. But, it's still amazing.

This sums it up perfectly.

> Yes. Anyone else who gets hold of those bills you used and exchanged with your bank will find them "burned" when they try to use them on Ellcrys.

There's going to be a problem of detecting counterfeit bills if you decide to take this route. As an alternative suggestion, how about using the same method of distribution some other cryptocurrencies have used in the past by taking a snapshot of a cryptocurrency at a certain future date and then having interested community members prove ownership of an address containing some cryptocurrency and using that to distribute the tokens? It wouldn't matter if someone buys cryptocurrency just for that purpose and then sells it afterwards.

The downside, is that you will be restricting distribution to only those who can gain access to cryptocurrency - which is also the same problem as taking a photo of dollar bills; the likelihood that those who will be using the platform will know/have access to cryptocurrency is high nevertheless.

The high point of analogue computing for control systems may have been Concorde. It normally operated in fly-by-wire through an analogue interconnection: the so-called synchro/resolver system, which is a AC servo control system. The flight computers (mostly but not entirely analogue) provided autothrottle and autostabilisation.

It's "true". The catch is that the analog computer's circuit size (which is analog to the digital computer's time) has to scale with n.
While it is true that all economic systems have specialization, so far capitalism seems to be most efficient in self-organizing it. The reason is explained before: wherever specialization yields a high margin, people jump into that gap. As the gap fills, the margin gets lower over time and everybody pays lower prices for the same goods.
There might be other economic systems that also foster this kind of self-optimization, and don't have the negative effects caused by capitalism, but we haven't seen them yet.
I find Beck to be mostly spot on, enjoyed his books on smalltalk and unit testing back in the days. I get the feeling that he couldn't care less who is a master according to what measure, he's just trying to make the best use of his experience by doing and sharing, which is the the only thing that makes sense once you go deep enough down the software rabbit hole.
Probably because there are lots of situations where getting an answer that is probabilistically correct in bounded time is useful, because the world is such a noisy place anyway.

Conversely, there are not so many situations where getting the correct answer within some probabilistic time is particularly useful, because humans live short lives, and need to get things done.
This is speculation, but perhaps there's a game-theory issue here. If IEEE loses money by people pirating (and you can apply the usual counter-arguments about whether the pirateer would have gone on to purchase it anyway) rather than paying then publishing costs increase to cover that loss, and therefore hurting the authors who must cover that increase in future if they want to publish in the journal again.

A better situation is where the preprint or open access version is available.

Don't forget the temperature compensation! Then there's irreducible noise like Johnson noise. As you say, the best use is in (properly stabilised) feedback systems which seek to minimise a difference.

15 years ago, the foreseen path was adoption of 3D TV then replacement of TV by headsets. 3D TV does not exist anymore and people are watching movies on their phone.

IMHO, the future is the replacement of the screen of smartphones by glasses with AR. The phone will be in my pocket with my hand and the glasses will be near my eye, ear and mouth.
There are so many variables involved that the reality is more fuzzy, and the concept certainly isn't 'laughable'.
Unbelievable! This kind of victim-blaming has to stop. Maersk were infected because they downloaded software updates! Their software provider got pwned and malware was delivered past their firewall. How is it their fault? How do they deserve to burn? I suppose it would be the plant's fault if some stuxnet variant were to irradiate the eastern seaboard? You seem to have conveniently forgotten that it was the US government who created the means here. And what is Maersk's Total Cost Of Ownership(TM) looking like now? Perhaps the best strategy for them and all companies now is to trust only themselves and to only consider non-proprietary software in future. The idea that some aircraft carriers are running Microsoft is chilling enough. None of the SCADA for nuclear power plants will be on Windows thankfully.
The first thing I investigated was trying to repair just the screen, but no local company was willing to do that. I ended up paying about $500 including labour, using console from scrapped car.
You're right that the normal measure of precision for analogue systems is either a percentage error or a signal-to-noise ratio in dB.
Except although the movie does say battery. That's not the original plot device that was written. They were originally written as human based cpu computers. But some higher up thought people wouldn't understand "human processors" so just everytime you think about or watch the matrix again. Just think it's a poor mistranslation that made it into the movie, "processor->battery"
I've seen several stories like these lately. But no actually proof, no links to web sites etc. This might be an effort from Amazon to get more affiliates.
I worked for a company which sold hosted services in the financial sector. Escrow was a standard part of contracts. However, it wasn't taken immensely seriously; we faithfully put all of our source code into escrow once a year (or perhaps more often, but not as often as we released), but not all of the build, deployment, and infrastructure tools and config you would actually need to turn that code into a replica of the application. We didn't make any effort to "restore from backup" to verify that what was in escrow was actually any use. Customers, and their auditors, seemed happy with that.

I do feel that in a really well-run operation, your build, deploy, and operation should be so automated that that's just another set of repositories to put in escrow. One way to look at it is that escrow is just another kind of disaster recovery; if you have safe copies of everything you would need to restore your operations if you lost all your current servers, then it's easy to put those in escrow too.
Ok. When someone actually has some concrete information that would indicate North Korea has the capability to "attack and permanently damage large portions of infrastructure", anything equivalent to Stuxnet, or an intelligence service capable of delivering such threats to critical infrastructure, I'll worry about that then.

I just think their conventional military, their continually improving nuclear program, and their ballistic missile technology are a lot more real and a lot more dangerous than the cyber-pocaylpse people have been trying to scare everyone with since the nineties.

I'd say its the other way around.

It only takes a few people abusing this before it becomes a problem. At the same time, those who lack moral fortitude are more likely to have low-wage jobs because those are the only ones they can hold down.

So, the shitty people end up over-represented at the low-end of the job market, so those jobs need to consider them more.

Fun trivia: Stan Ulam was on sick-leave and was playing solitaire. He came up with the Monte Carlo method while trying to calculate the probability of a successful solitaire game. The method was named after his uncle's favorite place to gamble.

Can you please elaborate what you refer when you emphasize on more interactive exercise?

My second problem with Redux, besides the common one about boilerplate, is precisely the mismatch between the recommended, RDBMS-like shallow store, and the typically tree-like OO nature of both the UI and the application logic. I understand that concrete containers act as adapters between the store and a given level of the application/UI tree, but this "impedance mismatch" is a real drag.
