Vagrant's really falls short of its promise of "the exact same dev environment for everyone" in my experience, especially because of VirtualBox issues such as, for example, relative symlinks breaking if done in a shared folder on a mismatched guest/host OS.

It's been such a source of frustration that there is no better shared folder alternative. VirtualBox is the only usable cross-platform backend, and vbox shared folders are the only way to have two-way syncing between guest and host. I don't understand why it's so poorly supported :/
Happy to help! I was really surprised how well the site works. A bit more about my experience here in case it could also be useful (though the post is admittedly a bit scatter brained): https://chrxs.net/articles/2017/03/23/responding-to-identity...
hmm... no? I think you can hit ctrl-d or some shortcut like that to go straight into the code of the function that you are interested in, and it can be functions written by matlab.
Why Are FEMA’s Flood Maps So Horribly Flawed?
The SSN is not issued by government as a secret number, but a necessarily-shared number between you, government agencies, employers, financial institutions, and many other parties.

The error is that many of the parties with which it must be shared treat it (for authentication purposes) as if it were a shared secret between that party and you (though they often don't do so for security purposes—and, as they often must share it with certain third parties, sometimes cannot do so) even though it is known to be a widely-shared non-secret.
Hi, Yangqing! Nice project. B)

I want to clarify that Apple advertises Keras support for use with CoreML, but the converter uses a graph from the TensorFlow backend. It begs the question, have you spoken with anybody from the TensorFlow (or Keras) communities about collaborating?
That is depressing as hell. I got up that heavy once and life was signifigantly worse.
> I think the audience score also on RT is more telling: Inception - 91% Interstellar - 85% Dunkirk - 82%

This is like the arguments you get with computer game scores being out of 100% or out of 5, or when you try to compare percentages (e.g. this game got 95% which means it's better than this game which got 93%). Things like this are so subjective you really should only be looking at whether most people thought it was bad, good or great, plus if it's in a genre you like. Someone might love Inception but just not like Interstellar because they don't like sci-fi.
I actually use it quite a lot for personal projects, at least those that I intend on deploying to a server. It's nice to work in the exact environment the application will end up in, not to mention that certain tools only exist/work properly in a particular environment. To me, it only enhances the development process.
...and he married Fran Drescher.

Well, I suppose he "married" Fran Dresher in the same way he "invented" email. He didn't really marry her.

http://komonews.com/news/entertainment/actress-fran-drescher...
"Inventor of email" is definitely a self-congratulatory provocation guaranteed to piss people off. But to your point, those are indeed essential functions, but not all systems in the 70s integrated them well.

For example John Vittal created a system called MSG that had many of those elements[1], but by his own admission "Its major drawback is that it does not have a directly integrated message creation facility with the same style of user-interface as the rest of MSG."[2] So for this and other reasons Ayyadurai deems it not meeting the standard of a "full-scale emulation of the interoffice mail system," which is basically how he is defining "email".

This is all about where to draw the line on what constitutes "email" and who crossed it first. We should know by now, as an industry, that UX really matters, and so there may be some merit to focusing on how primitives are packaged together in a sufficiently usable form, not just when each of them came into existence separately.

I do agree that brandishing terms like "inventor" are not the way to approach this. It was a collective effort. But I also have become a bit sympathetic to his feeling shut out of the history of Internet by establishment, working-for-government-labs coterie. Maybe that motivated him to be more outspoken and provocative. On some level we should be celebrating that a 14 year old kid, in a working on his own with little support, could figure out a complete system in a way that govt labs couldn't -- not diminishing it as lesser than "inventing the @ convention" or whatever. That's part of the hacker ethos at the core of what we all do.

He would be a huge improvement over pretty much all other candidates at present.
I already account for that a bit. Family movies get higher scores, gross-out comedies get lower scores.

A 74% on a fantasy horror film may mean it's pretty good.

Of course, the risk is high for buying movie tickets. The prices are too high these days for "Meh. Why not see this one?" or even, "Let's go to the movies and pick out something there."

So the studios would have a more forgiving audience if they figured out how to lower the risk that someone feels they wasted their money.
Thank you for the details from a Pilot's point of view. I was watching this flight play out live and it was certainly a nail biter. I couldn't believe they were going to land let alone take off.
Well, I'm not intentionally dodging, so feel free to call out what you think I'm dodging.

You say "most people are raised to know that paying taxes is right. So taxes aren't coercive right?"

I agree that most people are raised to believe this, but I don't agree with it. Taxes ARE coercion. If taxation were voluntary, I believe the VAST majority of people would not pay them.

Using your example, using coercion to defend yourself or your property (a case of water in this example) is in fact coercion, but it's justified. Self-defense and defense of private property are the only times when I believe coercion is justified.

If you don't believe in private property, then we're just talking past each other.

Do you believe in private property?
> I used to work with COBOL and I wouldn't wish the language on anyone.

There are worse things. I'd rather work on Cobol than in PHP4, or in a project where I have to deal with front-end stuff done using JS and back-end stuff that relies on the NPM package ecosystem.
Right. But it seems it might help with the tombstoning if the tests hit the calls (rather than waiting until it happens by serendipity).
That sums up my experience with Atlassian products that are self-hosted. They are essentially shooting themselves in the foot, especially with Customers that have to have the service run on site or on a air gapped network.
But isn't a centrally-dictated RFC on IPv6 returning us to the dare-I-say-hierarchical days of IP address allocation also a problem? As TFA points out, CIDR+NAT has decoupled true endpoints from hierarchy, and its adoption was ad-hoc and cooperative ('egalitarian') rather than dictated.

You're basically arguing against every movie rating system ever invented. As are the studios.
It is literally the facts ot the story. Repeating strawman does not further your argument, or anyones opinion of your reasoning skills.
They may have meant the actual victims, in this case 146,000,00 Americans.
The Rotten Tomatoes scores aren't a measure of quality, they're the percentage of critics who rated the movie at least "good" (with "good" defined rather leniently). The risk-less movies will get the best scores, because everybody agrees they're adequate by the standards of the genre. Great movies often get more polarized reviews, which means a lower score.

Although they don't make it obvious, Rotten Tomatoes also reports "Average Rating", which I think is a more useful measure for people not interested in watching merely adequate movies.
The thing that I think should really worry you is that the reaction among the professional cryptographers to this (or at least the dozens I talk to on Slack and Twitter) is "well, that's cryptocurrency for you".

If you have the impression that serious cryptographers are knee deep in the problem space of trying to make sure cryptocurrencies are actually secure, revise your expectations.

MSFT and Adobe Announce an Expanded Partnership Around Adobe Sign and MSFT Teams
Ah, absolutely, I forgot that the state of disk IO on Linux is terrible - although this still isn't quite the case, since there's a network socket involved in copying from disk to socket, so if the socket's buffer becomes full the scheduler will run.

It seems that nginx can use thread pools to offload disk IO, although doesn't unless configured to - by default disk IO will block the worker process. And FreeBSD seems to have a slightly better AIO system it can use, too.
First, I am absolutely sure that someone would complain no matter what the response.

Second, the letter which you linked to is very clearly an expression of disagreement. In what way is it 'an attack on Wax to try and suppress her POV'? It explicitly acknowledges both her civil rights and the security of her academic tenure, and explicitly rejects her claims rather than demanding she be fired or refrain from public expression of her views.

Third, they absolutely make a moral argument: We believe the ideal of equal opportunity to succeed in education is best achieved by a combination of academic freedom, open debate and a commitment by all participants to respect one another without bias or stereotype. To our students, we say the following: If your experience at Penn Law falls substantially short of this ideal, something has gone wrong, and we want to know about it.

I still fail to see why people who disagree with someone on a political issue should be required to express their disagreement in a particular form. It looks to me as if these academics consider Wax's arguments so specious as to be unworthy of discussion. Why should they feel obliged to respond in a forum or format of their opponents' choosing?
>The problem with reducing a movie to a single score is different people like different things.

Yeh. And guess what. Newspapers and magazines have been doing it for decades. Siskel and Ebert had thumbs up/thumbs down. If you care enough to drill down to the nuance, it's there. I don't love Rotten Tomatoes all that much specifically but the numerical score by itself isn't really the issue.
I would not doubt a class action lawsuit results from this, and I'd be very surprised if Elizabeth Warren didn't pursue congressional action against them (although not officers of the company unfortunately).

It's high time we had an equivalent law to Sarbanes-Oxley for security.

S-O made sure that when a C-level type guy signs a report, he knows his ass is on the line in case an illegal transaction just occur under his nose. If your company deals with PII, I want that data to be treated as important, if not more important, then company's funds. If you lose it, and you had any say in security (or lack thereof), you should do time.

Equifax Says Cyberattack May Have Affected 143M Customers
Accountable for what? That they're a target for hackers, who managed to break into their network? How is that careless? There's no such thing as perfect security.
SSNs were expressly intended not to be used as identification or authentication. Thing is, there was not alternative that people were guaranteed to have. I get it on principle, we don't like government giving us tracking numbers. It just seems totally impractical not to have this though.
I find aggregated (and especially RT) scores mostly useless. Aggregated scores seem to consistently reward safe, samey material over anything interesting. Below are some of my absolute favourite movies from the last 10 years with RT score. A good chunk of these I would not have seen at all if I made my viewing decision based on "the wisdom of the crowds". I've also seen all the Marvel movies - they're so fleeting that I can't even tell you what happens in most of them. Almost all are "certified fresh".

Go uses libc optionally (for some things like DNS resolving). You can build Go programs which do not utilize libc by disabling cgo and building static binaries. By default the biggest part of Gos stdlib isn't based on libc, but some small parts are.

>I don't think it will replace pipelines

Ah, nevermind.
Yes. Imagine you have a loaded gun and you've heard someone is committing a crime, so you go to the scene to investigate with no prior knowledge of the person. If they punch you in the face your options are:

A) Assume you can probably take them physically, and they are a reasonable person who's just punching you because they've had a bad day, if you're wrong innocents may die. But wrestle and punch them anyway.

B) Hit them with a stick, they will probably go down. If they manage to grab your gun while you're doing this, you and many innocents nearby may die. If they rush you, the stick may become ineffective.

C) Assume the person who is punching you may be trying to get the gun, draw your gun so they can't grab it first, then if they don't immediately stop, shoot them.

Taser is like C. You have a taser, if you try to "punch them back" or "wrestle them down" or even "grab your baton", the person may just grab the gun and kill you and other innocents.

No one should ever resist arrest EVER -- just comply, go to the station, argue your case, and hire an attorney. If the police tell you to get in the cuffs, just do it.
Then you have a much higher bar for pedantry than I do. I get annoyed when someone makes a brief, general statement and gets called out for not carefully softening it to near pointlessness. In general conversation, I'd prefer it if people assumed most statements were generalizations that are statistically significant and not proof assertions that are either True or False. Otherwise, discussion becomes extremely watered down with every statement swamped in disclaimers, softeners, exceptions and alternatives. Err... I meant "most statements except in specific situations where you are..." :P

They took 7 years to go up to GnuCobol 2.2; congratulations for this task. My congratulations are sincere; COBOL compilers are very expensive (MicroFocus, anyone?), so it is great to have a GNU compiler.
Common Lisp has moved forward exactly zero "officially" for decades. Yet, modern CL implementations are largely compatible with one another, largely interoperable with modern multicore hardware and multithreaded operating systems, largely capable of using Unicode and other representation formats, etc.

Of course, CL was designed with "extending CL" as a feature, and not locking the CL user into CL as it is "today." Shame so few other languages bother with this (Java and Clojure on the JVM come to mind immediately as hard to extend). Other languages have very active language evolution (Haskell/GHC comes to mind).

I like my languages to evolve. Preferably not the way Java did (I still hate the 1.5 type erasure hack).

> I want to see Equifax's CEO, CTO, CSO and anyone who ever saw a report saying "we need to invest more in security" and ignored it, to pay.

The issue here is likely related to business units that were acquisitions, with the breached product in question having been developed pre-acquisition by a code farm staffed by interns in some developing nation. I spent a few years trying to unfuck some of those messes and moved on.

It's more a problem with their reckless growth over the last decade than anything. (ed) Due diligence is obviously lacking, but I can personally attest that nobody in senior leadership there willfully ignores matters of security once it becomes known.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sf46cwK9oc
Yep. Systems that boil a movie down to a single number are fundamentally problematic. FiveThirtyEight has an article today about this topic (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/al-gores-new-movie-expo...), focusing on polarizing movies like An Inconvenient Sequel which end up with middling scores that don't properly reflect the fact that most ratings are either a 1 or a 10.

Yeah, but when you're following a single reviewer, you learn their tastes and what sorts of movies you can trust their opinion of and what sorts of movies you can't. This doesn't work with aggregate rating systems.

From the conclusion which I thought was really interesting:

> Bitcoin is not regulated. It cannot be regulated. There is no need to regulate it because
as a system it is committed to the protocol as is and the transaction fees it charges the
users are determined by the users independently of the miners’ efforts.

> Bitcoin’s design as an economic system is revolutionary and therefore would merit
an economist’s attention and scrutiny even if it had not been functional. Its apparent
functionality and usefulness should further encourage economists to study this marvelous
structure.
Almost any state is capable of spending a few billion dollars and making a >50% attack (assuming they can buy enough ASICs), no matter how good your crypto is. There are much cheaper ways to bring something like Bitcoin to its knees. DDoS the nodes for a year, for instance.
What's terrible is companies using SSNs at all.
And then I'll get six months of free credit monitoring from Equifax? Oh boy!!1!

More seriously, this is a breach big enough that Equifax should honestly no longer exist as a company. So call it $100/incident, and I'm happy. Other agencies would still exist, and, although they're just as terrible, it might get them to kick their asses into high gear to fix their security.

John Wick is respected as a "craft" movie because of its stuntwork and fight choreography. Same as Dunkirk and The Revenant, but those were appreciated on cinematography, etc.

So, yes, movies loved for their craftsmanship do tend to outperform the quality of their storytelling.

It would be interesting to hear why they didn't use protobufs for storing features instead of their own system.

This bothers me a lot of media reporting. The headline will be something like "X is good/bad for you" with a tiny effect size but the way it's reported makes you assume it's a large effect size. Usually the effect size won't be discussed in any depth or at all, they just want to sum it up in black and white. If the effect size is tiny it's probably just noise that would disappear in a higher quality future study.
