There are problems with any method of authentication when being targeted by a determined enough theoretical attack. The key is to find a process that balances risk against inconvenience. Google Authenticator (which, by the way, isn't what your link refers to. That only covers SMS) is a great middle ground for most reasonable security requirements. If you feel the need for something stronger then go for 3 factors, alerting systems, disable remote logins entirely or whatever extra steps is recommended by your pen testers.

I should also add that to just highlight problems with one specific method of 2FA without establishing that it is still more secure than a single factor password, let alone acknowledging that other methods of identification are available, somewhat misses the point of 2FA.

What do you want to do with your life?

There is no single right answer to that question so you need to figure it out for yourself.

Some of the answers require you to work 80+ hours a week (at a good job) while living in a tent so you can save every penny - when you finally retire at 68 you will just barely have enough money to enjoy the last 5 years of your life spending all the money you saved over the years.

Some answers you save 50% of your income until you retire at 40 to live the life you choose.

Some answers you save 10% until 65 working a 40 hour a week job.

The first allows you have an expensive hobby (sail the world in a very nice yacht). The second means you have to enjoy not buying anything. The last is a reasonable compromise for most of us.
I put my twitter password behind a hash function that takes a good 10 minutes to run. So current me can make future me a lot more productive by hitting "log out". Future me usually turns out lazy enough to actually just do work!
naye.

Even for the following trivial function:

#include <vector>
#include <string>
std::size_t foo(const std::vector<std::string>& vec)
{
std::size_t n = 0;
for(auto it = vec.begin(), end = vec.end(); it != end; ++it)
{
n += vec.size();
}
return n;
}

MSVC 2017 generates different assembly for ++it vs it++, at the highest optimization level.
This is why I have no intention of programming anymore after this point.

Maybe I'll enjoy the next thing. Maybe.

In general, yes. That my computer can do many things is something I take advantage of as a user. The programs should use them to their advantage, but by and large, most programs do not need all of the processing capabilities of my computer, so I expect they should play well together. (Indeed, it takes effort to get the GPU of my computer to help out with anything.)

> If we had always followed the "don't say it" default, then it would still be considered offensive to advocate for LGBT or religious or gender rights in the workplace. This is what I meant by taboos being sometimes harmful.

Again, you're equating social progress with the ability to say controversial things at work. I would argue that most of the progress LGBT/religious/etc. groups have made have been made outside of office cubicles. More importantly, there's a clear difference between "what are we doing to encourage a more diverse group of developers" to "who do you think is the hottest engineer on our team?"

I'm still failing to see what your point is. Yes, some people can choose to violate the rules and risk getting away with it or not.

It is abuse, however, if you sell a service as a backup, and people use it as primary storage (e.g, by running backup/restore cycles to store and retrieve files). I don't know if people were doing this, but given some of the silly things I've heard of happening on other backup services, I wouldn't be surprised.

Ask Me Another is a newish humorous public radio quiz show hosted by Gen. Xer Ophira Eisenberg with Jonathan Colton (also Gen. X).

My impression is public radio quiz shows don't depend on a college education but reward the accumulation of knowledge and attention paid to current events. The college-educated are more likely to to appreciate those rewards. I'm sure there's also the occasional joke or comment that assumes a shared experience found in college but I expect that's rare enough to not completely put off someone who can't relate to that experience (sometimes they'll say it knowingly, making a joke out of assuming everyone has the same background, especially whiteness).

You don't need to have all apps installed. For example: you can go to facebook web page and launch an instant app, so you have the native experience without having the app installed. Also with places like amazon or anything that you don't use very frequently. Moreover you can test an app without installing it.

It's basically the slavic orthodox countries that use the old calendar, plus certain groups that have more or less broken out of other churches. The monasteries on Athos also use the old calendar, even the monasteries that belong to new calendarist jurisdictions. A fun fact is that visas to Athos, which is a semi-autonomous island in Greece where only men are allowed (not even female animals!) and that prince Charles loves, are issued in the Julian calendar.

It's worth noting that even most new calendarists, like the Greeks, still celebrate Easter at a different date than the Catholics.

The calendar question is extremely infected and especially the Russians consider it a very crucial issue.

Clojure's macros can be made hygienic using `gensym`. Is this not enough? Is it desirable to Schemers for it to be impossible to generate user-accessible symbols within a macro?

What if symbols in macros were hygienic by default, but we had a `pubsym` escape hatch, allowing us to specify the exact symbol name. Would that allay safety concerns, or does that make something else difficult/impossible?

Of course all this spyware is evil and wrong.

But let's look at what the spyware does:

makes it easier for apps to connect to ad networks and deliver ads that are targeted to the specific interests of end users

...

The most serious spyware installed on phones were packages that stole call histories, including the time a call was made, the number that placed the call, and whether the call went through. Other stolen data included GPS locations, lists of nearby Wi-Fi networks, and lists of installed apps.

How is any of that distinguishable from what Google/Android does routinely? The only difference is that some people trust Google and/or their phone manufacturer with this. We don't "trust" spyware.
Notwithstanding the Active Directory integration, this is the clearest shot across the bow of Microsoft's on-prem management suite yet.

The naming is puzzling. But I'm sure MS shops are used to weird names, and aren't likely to get pedantic about whether or not there should be an "OS" in there. They likely went with the simpler name to build on mindshare among decision-makers, and to intentionally muddy the waters to their benefit.
A $10 dumb phone without any service allows for 911 calls.
Personally I don't like that regulatory oversight is being outsourced to lawsuits both class action and from regulators. One might say that if Comcast were overcharging their customers they were defrauding them. And while I am generally in favor of weaker regulations I am in favor of much stronger penalties for those that break the law. In your example not only should Comcast be disgorging any fraudulently obtained gains with interest, people should be going to jail. We have as a country for too long accepted this system where when a company does something illegal we let those that committed the fraud off the hook and send the bill to the companies shareholders. The idea that HSBC should have been allowed to continue to operate in the US after its conduct is absurd, (and yes I understand what would have happened if their banking license was pulled). That there have not been large numbers of arrests of Wells Fargo employees given the amount of fraud committed and laws broken is also absurd. If you or I fraudulently opened millions of accounts we would rightly be going to prison for a very long time.

I do find it gratifying to see VW employees being indicted. But the arrest of executives who commit wrongdoing is far too rare these days.

Sigh. I really wish Apple and Microsoft would re-acquaint themselves with these ancient Apple user interface guidelines/recommendations!

IMHO Microsoft has gone from the best UI to a horrible UI. No way of visually discerning what is a button or other GUI component and what isn't is not a improvement! The revolt due to their absurd VS GUI a while back is a great example, but it's the subtle UI changes in their current offerings that are most frustrating.

I switched to linux a while ago, and it has a long way to go ... but its an upward curve vs. Apple/MS's downward spiral when it comes to UI.

I didn't say employees had no rights, I said these specific employees would have no rights to sue McDonalds, that is a major distinction.

The legal arguments are simple, presumably if there are employees who burned themselves, they would have: a.) likely set the coffee temp themselves (above the recommended temp); b.) at least been aware of the temp and risk; and c.) presumably have some responsibility for spilling the coffee on themselves. These facts would remove intentional/reckless/gross negligence on the part of McDonalds.

And I already know the counter arguments; However, if I'm actually wrong feel free to show me an a single case of a McDonalds employee suing McDonald's in civil court outside of workers compensation laws as the result of scalding coffee.
I'm curious how well this plays with some of the fancier selectors. Adjacent sibling, in particular.

I'm also curious if this pretty much prohibits ever having a parent selector. I guess you could do a first pass through the styles to remove any DAG nature from them?

> Actually, the situation i long for is before the creation of the LLC, where shareholders were responsible for paying for the corporations lawsuits.

You are a bit confused here. The liability shield for corporate shareholders is as old as the joint stock company, and older than the US.

The LLC is a newer business form that includes a similar liability shield for its members to the one corporations do for their shareholders, but differs in other mechanisms from both corporations or partnerships.

> IMHO, No better way to get wells fargo to stop doing illegal things than have the people who own X% be forced to pay for it.

Even without a liability shield, the shareholders personal finances would only be touched of the assets of the corporation itself were exhausted; while liabilities which would destroy a corporation and still leave an unpaid balance for unshielded shareholders do happen (see, MtGox for instance), none of Wells Fargo’s shenanigans have reached that level of proven liability (if they had, Wells Fargo would have gone into bankruptcy), so they wouldn't likely have been constrained by exposing shareholders to liability.

Why would an article on missing generics in Go be inflammatory? Repetitive, wrong, tiresome, whatever, sure -
in your view. But inflammatory? Please. This is symptomatic of the general abuse of language that I have come to associate with social justice related conflicts. Absurd over the top language and imagery is used to try and justify absurd and over the top responses.

The tweets by ag_dubs seem like a good example. She starts by saying up front her problem with Rod is that he "criticises social policies in node" and she can't handle that so she lessened her participation. Presumably she means policies like the CoC.

Then she goes on to assert that he "engaged in targeted harassment against me personally". Because of his "unrestrained antagonism", she often has to have "other people speak on my behalf to sidestep his derailing responses".

Having read that set of tweets, put simply, I don't believe her. I do not believe she has been harassed. I think she can't separate someone disagreeing with her on social policy issues with "harassment". The logic leap from "he harassed me" to, "that's why I ... avoid his derailing responses" clearly isn't rooted in any conventional definition of harassment. And what does it even mean, getting others to speak for her?

I could actually consider such system for my neighborhood, but only if it is off-line (i.e. nobody can access the data, unless I decide to deposit some during a crime investigation). A bit like a ATM security camera.
I would not mind to have the data being discarded after X days for instance. Since it is supposed to be used to make a case of crime, if no crime was reported there is no need to keep the data.
Also, they would have to make sure that the data collected is receivable by the justice system. Otherwise it would be pointless.
Actually no, it doesn't matter who controls the exit nodes as long as your only concern is keeping your IP private. (Exit nodes can indeed do bad things to unencrypted traffic, but that's irrelevant for this use case.)

My personal perspective is cynical like yours - that it's generally a scam to try and extract more "value" out of workers - but my wife works at a large corporation where they seem to genuinely try to make it an enjoyable place to work and the people involved, all the way up the ladder, are committed to that ideal.

Praise flows freely, they do a ton of charity work, and it's not a thin veneer over a corporate machine. Perhaps the difference is that it's over 100 years old in a very established worldwide business, so there's room in the budget and schedule to be a lot more flexible and provide home/work balance.

All I know is I'm kind of jealous - I've only ever worked in the soul-sucking companies.
Anno 1800 Trailer
My maternal grandparents lived well into the age of microwave ovens and cable TV, yet they never owned or subscribed to either. Nothing could convince them they were missing anything worthwhile. It made no sense at all to me.

Now, I sort of understand. I'm not rabidly anti-technology, but I avoid a lot of the fashionable latest stuff like Facebook, smart watches, fitbits, Twitter, Spotify, etc.

It's hard to explain to friends who ask why. It's basically a matter of mental bandwidth. It's not infinite. Every thing that demands a piece of my attention must take that attention away from something else. And I guess these things are not worth that cost to me. I don't judge people who think otherwise; that's just what works best for me personally.
Batteries last a surprising long time on electric toothbrushes, mine claims it lasts two full weeks on a full charge. I've personally tested it successfully on a week and a half trip. You should have no problem bringing it camping provided your trip lasts less than a couple weeks. I never bring the charger with me when I go anywhere.

(My old electric toothbrush cost $10 about 10 years ago and used AA batteries instead of a wall charger. A couple AAs lasted quite a long time, probably close to 6 months, IIRC. So that one would last you the entire length of the appalachian trail.)
Easter (or Pascha/some derivative as it's called in most non-English countries - which comes from Passover) is basically Passover + a bunch of days (remember the story of the Crucifixion then Resurrection).
