It's almost the opposite of what you're saying. As PHP was designed for web development, "newer" languages often need a lot more (configuration, modules, etc.) to produce what PHP can easily do by default.
The easiest modern machines to wipe and restore are probably Chromebooks.

I often recommend Chromebooks for corporate travel, especially for companies using Google Apps in the first place. It also helps protect against laptop theft. Plus, they're typically light and fairly inexpensive.

Of course, this assumes that you trust Google with your data.

Actually, the defaults are quite insane.

For example: You might know that all domain names are in the root zone, named ".", so any domain actually is resolved to e.g. news.ycombinator.com. And if you enter the domain with the dot, it is the same DNS name, and should give you the same result. Apache does that, Nginx does that, Google’s cloud does that, Amazon’s cloud does that, all major sites do that...

Caddy considers it irrelevant, and something users should add manually for all of their rules if they want it. Ignoring all the RFCs, because of personal ideals.

True, but it's also difficult to even sustain warranted beliefs. I would not say that science is the new religion, but I don't deny it has a lot of power. And there are plenty of people out there who are more than happy to twist truths and break down the foundations of science to accrue some of that very warranted power.

CAR-T Treatments Show Promise to Be a Real Cancer Cure
If you want an "academically fair" (e.g. only compare parts that implement related functionality) comparison for Linux (the kernel!), you should compare it to ntdll.dll+hal.dll (these implement the kernel; cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Microsoft_Windows...). Here I think Linux would not be fare better (in terms of size) against Windows.

You say this is (from a practical perspective) an unfair comparison for Linux, since under Linux, your applications can (in principle) call the kernel directly, while under Windows, they are linked against the subsystem that one wants to use - so one has to include the subsystem, too. I agree here - but this already makes a comparison much harder, since there is no related concept to "subsystem" under GNU/Linux. Indeed what people describe as "bloated" under Windows is not the kernel itself, but the perhaps Windows subsystem and even more the immense amount of intertwined components that are installed by default on a Windows installation.

So a more fair comparison (from practical considerations) for Windows against GNU/Linux in terms of size would be a minimal system with which you can work properly and is supported by some vendor (to exclude some really experimental hacks of some Linux nerds which are really small in size, but not suitable for proper work). For Linux one can surely find such a configuration. For Windows the proper configuration to choose is "Windows Server 2016" in the "Server Core" or even "Nano Core" configuration: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Server_Core&oldid...

Here I am sure the Linux sample would still be smaller than the "Server Core"/"Nano Core" installation of Windows Server - but Microsoft has learned their lesson that there exist users who want a really slicked down Server version of Windows and has delivered.

I am responsible for about 200,000 production systems, about 90/10 client to server.

Delivery is not difficult. My teams can deliver anything to 95% of those systems in <24 hours. The hard part is testing, validation and coordinating rollouts.

It's also more effective to understand and have mitigating controls. Many java related exploits cannot be patched with off the shelf software -- you need to wait for the vendor. So you to segment or monitor to live at risk.

Companies who are good at this have good asset management, good process and good vulnerability monitoring.

Homeland Security runs borders and borders have import controls, so preventing child porn from crossing the border is certainly within their purview. That's not in question.

The issue is more about whether they are casting too wide a net. It used to be we only carried suitcases across borders, but now it's our whole digital lives -- every picture we've ever taken, every account we own, trade secrets, etc. That type of invasive search should probably require a warrant.

The iPhone X Notch Is All About Branding
The predecessor of the AS/400, the IBM System/38, was a really very radical architecture for 1978/1979 it had capability based addressing and a file system based on Relational Database concepts.

Some of the same leadership that ran that project (Glen Henry) was also respononible for IBM's adoption of Unix.

This IBM Unix system, AIX (1986), was designed to run on another interesting hardware platform, the earliest generation of IBM's RISC hardware PowerPC. Which in turn evolved from IBM's (1975) 801 system (John Cocke--who won the Turing Award in 1987 for invention of RISC) was responsible for the 801. I remember him coming into my office to talk to me about some ideas he had for a high capacity disk drive around 1987 when I was working on AIX.
Merge conflicts, history readability, and PR readability are just the things that rebase helps with. I understand, I have coworkers who said "keep things simple; you shouldn't have to be an expert in VCS" as if learning how to use your tools is a bad thing! It's not like Git even takes that long to master.
It would be interesting to see how much of that growth is attributed to dark patterns and malpractices. Like making the first 20 or so results of most Google Image searches utterly useless.

Strikes me that they haven't been blacklisted from Google yet for that.
The parent poster is "serious" in the sense that I bet literally every person reading this had the idea of psychics briefly cross their mind as they read it.

The problem is that psychics don't exist and the people who believe in them are unscientific. So it is the same as asking "Could God have favored these winners? Could it be divine providence"?

That has no place in the article.

If there were even half a sentence in the article stating something like:

Are they psychics
------------------

As a fanciful aside we analyzed whether the winners involved could be psychics.
The effect is not strong enough for that: a psychic could win 3 or 4 lotteries in a
row, for example. A 1 in 10 million * 1 in 300 million is still much weaker than
what a psychic could produce. The improbability is not strong enough to show psychc
ability.

Less fancifully, prediction of the results through some other means outside of psychic
ability (such as by predicting the random number generator used), would show the same
effect, also not present.

The problem is that this validates "psychic ability" (which does not exist), in much the same way as a paragraph about God does.

Imagine if the article had written:

Is it Allah's will?
-------------------

We asked our statistician whether the statistics show this may simply be the will of
Allah. Our statistician stopped replying to our mail at that point, so that this
analysis is inconclusive.

The reason the statistician would stop replying to mail at that point is that nobody wants to mix statistics with religious beliefs. It just completely derails the conversation.

I don't think that this HN thread will end up completely derailing anything, but just for your information, psychics don't exist, nobody in the world is psychic to any extent.

(Some people are very good at reading information that is very subtle, however, and making inferences. Obviously this does not translate to predicting lottery numbers.)
And it’s also completely null and void under EU law anyway, so you might as well remove it.

Montreal is a nice place in Canada. Facebook always Facebook follows Google, Microsoft.
Yes. But saying "FB's AI lab is here" is massive marketing pitch. It certainly can't hurt.
I'm basing this on the assumption that your VPN is in a non-Eyes nation. I'm not sure why I was downvoted for posing this question, it seems like this is a valid way to obfuscate a potential timing attack if you have VPN servers with varying latencies.
No you don't need hindsight for that. Protecting the data is more important than anything else. It's negligent to not do so.
The reason they don't is that they just don't care... and for their business that's the rational decision. Data security isn't as core to their business as it is to a bank. If a bank has a breach, bank accounts get drained. If Equifax has a breach, it's annoying but manageable fines and their CEO gets grilled in a few congressional hearings.

Equifax's core business is about giving out credit scores. I'd bet their biggest fear is giving someone a high score when they deserve a low one. Data breaches, moderately inaccurate information... a nuisance, but a sideshow.
How much of this is FB wanting to go to Montreal? And how much of this is FB anticipating (AI) regulation in the USA?
When using `git bisect` to find a bug, `git bisect good` and `git bisect bad` are not the only options available, there's also `git bisect skip`. You should only mark as bad commits that specifically manifest the bug you're looking for and not, say, build errors or other unrelated bugs. It is true however that the type of build breakage potentially brought in by using git rebase will require you to do more bisect steps.

Is it really that dangerous?

"Key medical objections to infant anesthesia - that it was (a) unnecessary and (b) dangerous - were resolved by the brilliant research of Kanwal Anand and colleagues at Oxford from 1985 to 1987. Making precise measurements of infant reactions to surgery, they proved that the babies experienced pain, needed and tolerated anesthesia well, and had probably been dying of metabolic and endocrine shock following unanesthetized operations."

> How are child pornography or IP rights violations a matter of national security? If they are then anything is -- which is probably their idea, but they shouldn't be let run with it

Those child pornography cases probably never existed at all. But when you have to justify something that has a direct impact on civil liberties, and can not claim that this is against terrorism (because the claim would be clearly debunked too quickly, like the ridiculous claims that TSA prevented actual terrorism acts), child pornography and fight against pedophilia is probably your second best lie.

And you wouldn't like to protect pedophiles, isn't it ?

I think this post unnecessarily contributes to the overhyping of the iPhone. It could just as well be written for any other brand of phone.
This is just a poetic, very well thought out comment. Nice syntax, too, with the long dash. The only quibble might be the comma outside of the quotations, but that seems to be more of a regional, stylistic thing than a hard-and-fast rule. Also, it might make more sense for there to be "no specific psychological floor in the well of entitlement" rather than the way it is currently worded.

But overall, very, very nice indeed!
Such a failure to learn. The US school system went through this with "open classrooms". Schools were built to support the idea of no walls between classrooms. For years, teachers trying to maintain sanity erected temporary dividers. These days, most of those schools have been rehabbed to include actual walls, or they've been demo'd. Such a waste.

For example, lets suppose that you visit your favourite digital newspaper. After reading an article or a howto you see a "like this article?/was this howto useful?/Send us your feedback" button. It seems (I can't confirm it so I could be wrong, just hear it on the TV news yesterday), that facebook was saving silently all this info about preferences from lots of people that aren't neither facebook users nor visiting facebook forums and webs

If we thing about it, wouldn't be much different than to put a creepy guy near the door of a supermarket recording all that you buy to sell all this info later.
Netflix built their own CDN ages ago. Given that their core business logic is basically static content delivery whats left to AWS probably is a lot less than commenters in this thread seem to think.
You could, but not in this case. The quantity of child pornography that enters the US via the internet (if it isn't produced there in the first place) most likely dwarfs the amount that is brought in on laptops.
Nearly every company does that. It's amazing how little many companies actually own. I've worked in offices where everything from building over furniture to even the plants was leased. The company ran with close to zero assets (services business). Pretty sure that this wouldn't make any sense if it wasn't for tax purposes.

It depends on how you define "electric vehicle". It is pretty clear that they mean "batttery driven, no engine attached". And in that context, their statement is correct.
How is adding additional layers of security bad when there is a specific attack against one of the layers of security (timing attack via controlled TOR nodes) that a VPN-to-Tor would disrupt? If this method is dependent on knowing the latency going in and out of the network, adding VPNs that have varying latencies would seem to defeat this on the surface.

I'm posing the question, as I don't see an answer in the article. Nobody gets better at opsec if flawed methodologies aren't picked apart in detail. I'm surprised I was downvoted, but I don't comment here frequently and maybe didn't pose the question in enough detail. This is usually how I was accessing Tor based on the assumption that most of the exit nodes are compromised.

You're right, to an extent. I've said this before and I'll say it again: living in areas like NYC or SF is a luxury. It's a luxury just like a Porsche SUV. For whatever reason people still think that they should pay Dallas prices for Manhattan homes. It's insanity.

For me it's not so bad (I don't live in Dallas but live elsewhere that would be considered "you have to live there?" But if you make enough money you can afford to travel to all the cool places just long enough that the novelty of walking by homeless people on the street or driving out to Yosemite or something hasn't worn off.
Times nods to the fact that millennials are not as homogeneous as society thinks:

> millennials, who, as it turns out, are not a monolithic generation

Then, I feel they go right back to the attitude in a new context:

> Yet millennial suburbanites want a new kind of landscape.
> Homeland Security runs borders and borders have import controls, so preventing child porn from crossing the border is certainly within their purview. That's not in question.

Not a USian, so I may be wrong, but aren't Homeland Security and Customs separate organizations? Preventing certain imports like counterfeits or IP-violating material seems more of a Customs thing to me.
I use Facebook essentially as a RSS feed for bands I like since a concert I missed of one of my favorite band in 2007.

This seems like a pretty canonical example of "Subtle emotional manipulation based on a misconception" except maybe not subtle.

To quote from the article:

> This was the worst part of this experience, and is akin to abuse. Demands or demanding comments stem from the misconception that users are entitled to FOSS. This behavior also stems from a misconception, but a different one: that open source maintainers depend on, or need, their open source projects.

For most maintainers or project owners, this is FALSE!
> snip
> as well as any comment insinuating that the maintainer is reliant upon a project that is not profitable or sustainable. Here’s the brutal truth for 99.9% (* not an actual figure) of open source projects, folks: you (the user of an open source project) need and rely on the project more than the maintainers do. Do not make the mistake of thinking that maintainers are emotionally tied to their projects. Definitely don’t call it their ‘baby’.

I did an experiment like this in 2011 on one of my websites. The sites was free to use for the end users but had a few ads (between 0 and up to 3 depending on the pages and sections).

I wanted to see if I could replace the ads with a bitcoins miner and get enough revenues to continue operating the service. FYI I was making about 900€ per month at the moment.

So I installed a JavaScript miner, removed the ads and waited. The result I got was unexpected: Avast Antivirus (very popular among my visitors) flagged the site and blocked it's access. I immediatly lost about hald of the traffic. I tried with a few other opensource miners and the sentence was the same every times: users locked out by zealous anti-virus and traffic cut off by (at least) half.

Price’s explanation of how the stock market and the economy work—and why the government has to give his company yet another bailout—is similarly entry-level. “Every day when that market bell rings, we con people into believing in something,” he says. “The American Dream. Family values. Could be Freedom Fries for all I care. It doesn’t matter as long as the con works and people buy and sell whatever it is we want them to. If I resign, then any scrap of confidence the public is already clinging on to will be destroyed. And we all know a con doesn’t work without the confidence.”
