Yep, I'm with you. I use Shure SE846 earbuds, and even though the dongle supposedly uses a DAC chip identical to the DAC in the iPhone 6, the audio is noticeably flatter and less enjoyable. Since the chip is the same, I figure it must be either the amplifier (haven't read whether that's the same) or the bit of super thin cable between the chip and the headphone port. It was a downgrade from the iPhone 6.

That lack of purpose is the point.

> to be slow to update a Struts vulnerability

If this Struts vulnerability can lead to the personal information of literally half of America? I'm not a lawyer, but that sounds pretty damn negligent to me.

I agree with your larger point that the system probably shouldn't be built in the first place, at least not the way it is now, but there are still plenty of things they could have done, like not store it in plaintext at rest.
Sometimes no one is at fault for an accident. Accidents aren’t always caused by negligence on someone’s part.
A hint could be that you're initializing to zero a local just to overwrite it. Not an error or a warning but it could hint that you did not mean to, isn't it ?
I used to live in some area where public transportation required me 2x50min to go to work whereas it was about 2x15-25min by car. Bought a bike and turned that 2x60min but went down to 2x30min in the long run, when conditions are good (no night, no rain)
There is no reason to use blockchain to implement every single piece of software. Blockchain's primary utility is as a cryptocurrency. There's a lot of profit being made off people's ignorance and everyone I see pushing this agenda are people who have no idea how software works and are not qualified to speak on the matter.

People have a problem: the software they have is not solving their problems very well. Before it was Oracle, then SAP then more recently IBM Watson and now it's blockchain.

A lot of business people don't realize they need to work closely with programmers to achieve their goals. The companies who know this are operating at global scale have nothing to do with blockchain in their architecture.

I know very massive entities with huge budgets in my region that are suffering intensely from their lack of a proper software engineering team. They don't even realize it so instead they just hire more manpower to deal with their bad backend systems. Oracle, SAP, and IBM just sell them garbage that solves 30% of their problem while introducing more problems and now they're eyeing blockchain cause they don't know better.

Even as a customer I recently had to convert my SIM card from post paid to prepaid with a telecom provider having revenue measuring in the billions. I go there and their system is down. Twice. They tell me this happens several times a week and have no idea when it will come back up. Ten employees that cannot do their job. I managed to catch them when their system was up and it took about an hour convert my SIM, and I had to wait there the entire time.

I feel that it's a failure for the people in charge to discern something that is going to solve their issues something that isn't. Most people just either accept the lowest bid RFP from a Banglore team or pay millions just because of the name behind the company.

This is a bit of a rant but I'm sick of how crappy everything is and a lot of this is very easy to fix. My credit union's website back in 2007 for a city in California was more useful and easier to use than what I have to deal with now from a bank with a yearly revenue in the hundreds of billions.

> If you actually do test it for yourself, you'll find plenty of examples in the image itself, ready to copy/paste

Over the last 15 years or so, I have regularly played around with Squeak and Pharo, and I have not found this to be the case. I mean, yes, there is code, but that's like saying "Oh, you wanna learn C? Here is the Linux source code."

Maybe I just didn't manage to find these great examples because the Pharo community's approach is "it's there, but I won't tell you where exactly; if you can't find it yourself, you are lazy/dumb/not a real programmer".
so it looks like on average it's roughly doubling about every 15 years?
My issue is not that they had the vulnerability, but that the vulberability allowed full access to social security numbers and it wasn’t even the “critical” database!

You can take proactive efforts to minimize the risk of breaches; they appeared to store large amounts of unencrypted (or encrypted in aggregate) personally identifiably information together and allowed a single struts vulnerability unfettered access.

For instance, one could not duplicate social security numbers, or could allow you to encrypt your data so you need to provide a key for others to access it. The possibilities are endless.

Breivik managed to obtain his guns legally in Norway despite fairly tough gun control. It took him a while to do it. He said his semi-automatic .223 would be used for deer hunting. It would make sense to ban semi-automatic rifles since bolt action rifles should be good enough for hunting.

Paddock had ten times as many guns, many of which were modified with bump stocks to make them practically fully automatic. It would be much more difficult to achieve this starting with a bolt action rifle.

Fuck sleep. I'm waiting for the day when I can click a button on my phone to go to sleep instantly and wake up instantly on a timer. No natural feeling of sleepiness. I hate the time lost to sleep. What does it matter if I lose 5 years in my old age? I gain so much time in my younger years. It's like smoking. It's harmful and will kill you in the long term. But why do you care about living to a 100? You will have n other problems.

> (commute, chores, eating, exercise etc.)

I agree with you completely, but you didn't even mention kids. The other stuff, chores, eating, exercise, and so on, can be moved around in time, but kids require constant attention in the moment even when they are a few years old. I'm lucky to get an hour in the evening for me time efter the kids go to sleep, not even enough to watch a full movie if I want 8 hours of sleep. This is every day of the week, since they don't sleep in on weekends but wake up even earlier.

If I don't get to to stuff I enjoy every day I'm miserable, so I usually play video games past bed time and pay for it by walking around in a fog at work. A day with doing something fun feels like a wasted day, like a day closer to the grave with nothing to show for it.

It's not healthy living like this, but the only way I see doing anything different is by skipping doing anything just for fun. I look forward to when the kids are teenagers and I can relax again. /s

I think people that frequently pull all nighters (i.e. those claiming to do so multiple times per week) are probably missing the point that they'll get more work done with ~6 100% productive hours per day, than 18+ hours at fastly reduced productivity. It's not sustainable.

I think some answer might lie in the question of what the speaker is trying to accomplish by swearing.

If you think about it, why swearing instead of using standard words ? Putting aside "bad" habits (I put this into quotes because I don't think there is something inherently bad in swearing, it's just a subset of vocabulary data being transmitted to convey information ;) ), I would say that that goal is, subconsciously or not, to increase the emotional impact of what is being said.
This will to increase the emotional impact can stem from the speaker's own emotional state, that needs to be expressed through speaking. This might be for lack of better words in one's vocabulary, "accessibility", perceived "style", etc.

The person is stating something, that might be originally emotionally weak or neutral, but by swearing, he emphasizes the emotion associated to those words or sentences, and thus has the opportunity to convey an additional specific type of information, in a specific way.

I would even say that swearing might be even difficult to replace in some cases where the intended effect is to be casual, or maybe to sound "cool" to a certain crowd while keeping this emotional effect. This might, in a way, be considered "manipulation" if done consciously.

And I think this logic applies very well to Trump particularly, because appealing to people emotions seems to be mostly what put him in office. Rather than trying to win by giving the population high logic on the reasons why he should be elected, he is going the other way: make them feel things that put him under the spotlight as a good contender for the position of president ...

> Is it a moral failing to be slow to update a Struts vulnerability?

Yes.

As a professional engineer you are responsible for the systems you build and maintain. The security of the modern internet depends on engineers on the ground understanding and proactively fixing security issues.

There is no one else who can take responsiblity for code you deploy to production. The buck stops with you.
I didn’t downvote you but claiming meditation and yoga substitutes for sleep pattern matches to quack/idiot. Your link has the word guru in it which points the same way. Personally I find it credible because I’ve read studies before suggesting meditation can substitute for sleep 1 for 1 up to some threshold but I’m too lazy to search for them. If you make claims that are as credible as a homeopath or anti-vaxxer cite something that at least looks credible.

> I don't understand why manufacturers simply don't offer a stock Android variant.

When the hardware is commoditized, manufacturers need to distinguish themselves by offering a unique software experience.

That's what they are all trying to do. Unfortunately, most of them aren't any good at it, and the UIs they come up with are usually worse than stock Android. But if they offered stock Android, they would have to compete on hardware alone, and they are just slapping commodity parts together like everyone else except Apple.

Here's what I've just done -

* Cleared all cookies for Facebook and Google

* Created a new container called "No tracking"

* Set facebook, gmail, analytics, youtube and all google services other than Search to always open in "No tracking"

Now in theory Facebook and Google can't track me across the web (at least not in a way that it's linked to my real identity), and I don't have to do anything to maintain this.

All the good bits of blockchain, we already had in git: a transaction ledger with hashes for tamper-proofing. Git came out in 2005, based on work going back a few decades.

What we're seeing in practice is a lot of "Blockchain(tm)" products that are just this, and not actually a blockchain. Remember how Estonia has blockchains in everything and talks them up at every opportunity? Their local "KSI Blockchain" is just a ledger with hashes. https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2017/09/06/estonias-sma...

The Bitcoin-style decentralisation etc is not in practice useful for real things that aren't cryptocurrencies.

Transaction ledgers with hashes are great stuff! So if they get used more, that'll be the good outcome of "Blockchain(tm)" hype. But this article is just full of what are literally Bitcoin hyperbolic claims, with the buzzword changed.

This IEEE Spectrum "blockchain" issue has been consistently glib and lacking in detail. I'm very disappointed. This is supposed to be a magazine from an institute for engineers.

WebExtensions Migration Story of Tree Style Tab
This is the whole misguided overenthusiasm we have seen with BTC as well. Blockchains do change something fundamental: the ability to provide for the aforementioned services in case:

- You want to stay anonymous

- You can't trust a third party

I would argue that a functional society would not need any blockchain services as it would provide the necessary privacy defenses to do anonymous transactions and the means to enforce trust.

In the same fashion, it was argued that BTC would be useless in a correctly functioning banking ecosystem.

What these systems offer is not something impossible to do otherwise, it is a lower bound on the services a society can provide (assuming internet and computers).

If tomorrow a country has a Zimbabwe moment, people will switch to BTC. If taxis end up being to corrupt, an etherum service can take the relay.

A lot of the blockchain enthusiasts are anarchists or libertarians. They assume society is already failing or on the verge of collapse. They often fail to see that not everyone is in that mindset.

That's been my experience, too. And the consensus on the lua-l list seems to be that the migration to mixed number types went relatively smoothly for most people despite the anxiety.

But people were still anxious, even gung-ho Lua users. Whether or not justified, people and companies contemplating large projects are especially averse to that sort of environment.

My open-source project experiences notwithstanding, before I left my day job a few months ago we still hadn't migrated our 10+ year-old project to 5.2, let alone 5.3, even though LuaJIT wasn't involved, and even though lua_callk and lua_pcallk would have significantly simplified the libevent async I/O integration. In a corporate environment planned obsolescence is a hard to sell, even when it's objectively the better choice.

Cancer is defined based on the growth rate of the tumor (some other characteristics contribute, like propensity to spread from one area of the body to another), not based on how long you can live with it. Even the xkcd comic will tell you that no matter how bad your cancer currently is, you might end up living for a long time to come.
In other words: strong opinions, loosely held.

Shouldn't this be the default expectation, for every article we read, anyway?

Such a disclaimer makes only sense if the article was written by some very famous author who must reasonably fear that their advice is taken too dogmatically. Speaking of that, I've never seen people like Martin Fowler make such a disclaimer.
It's a really, really good piece of work. I hope you keep making tutorials.

I was impressed with the high ratio of useful content to time spent, and how the full tutorial only seemed to take 10 - 20 minutes.

I'm a 6 or 7 year vim veteran, and your tutorial taught me I could combine numbers with commands. I didn't know that!

For anyone reading and scoffing, please don't think I'm some vimless noob, I know %s/regex/replacement/g visual block selection and edit mode ( ctrl-shift-v, cursor, shift-i, double esc ), split mode :sp, and so on, but I never knew about the numbers with commands, nor about shift-X for left of cursor delete.

So even as someone experienced in vim ( and who codes in vim for everything ), this has improved my productivity!

Thank you so much, a great piece of work. Hope you keep making more tutorials on topics.
