When it comes to Obama, you can say that it was a prize that was given to encourage the president of the most influential country in the world to do the right things.

It was given early in his presidential term and may have influenced his decisions later on small and big things.

Obama didnt create war, he infact de-escalated one potential and many other smaller matters where the US was already engaged.

Personally I think it was fine.
I don’t get why being lax is a bad thing lol. You’re not being lax randomly, you’re being lax because you learned that empirically you can afford it. Instead of wasting that energy on whatever discipline you used to have to apply, you can spend it on something of value. I don’t think it’s smart to get upset about life getting easier.

I don’t see anything in there even about basic building blocks like RAFT. Maybe I’m missing it, or maybe there’s room for someone to write another chapter.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this Frama-C and ACSL? That doesn't look like plain C to me.

In the ACSL manual in Example 2.10, does the programmer have to add the asserts? What if they make a mistake in the annotation?

Can you point to specific failures on the part of ICAN? They’re not the world police. They can only work within the mandate and resourcing available.

In other words, do you think the situation would be better without ICAN? The Iran agreement is not perfect, but surely it’s better than no reins.

Don’t forget about the countries that have voluntarily ended their nuclear programs or stopped expanding them. Successes in this field are by nature much less visible than the failures.

OT, but I've had trouble in the past when trying out NetBSD; I wanted to install it on my laptop with full disk encryption, but I clearly was missing something about how to do it properly, and I've never been able to find a good guide for it. Any chance you might know a blog post or something that details how to do this properly for a NetBSD newbie like me?

React Functional Components vs. Class Components
pgAdmin is a surprisingly bad GUI for a database as good as Postgres, yet I see folks recommending it on forums and such. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind that -- I can only surmise that these folks have never used a decent SQL GUI nor experienced how a decent SQL GUI can massively increase their productivity.

I wonder if rewriting pgAdmin in Electron might help.

Others recommend using psql from the command-line. Now I spend most of my time on the command-line, and psql is great for one-off stuff, but when you have to edit, test and profile complex queries, the cmd-line interface just doesn't cut it for rapid iteration.

I think this is a huge gap in the Postgres world. But I also think that DataGrip is very promising. I have a pretty high view of Jetbrains' tools.

> So you have two camps. People who believe correctness is important, and people who think continuous deployment is an answer to bugs.

I am curious as to how the people of the second group (if they do, in fact, exist) think that the continuous deployment of serially faulty code is a solution to anything.
So if installing a font locally, OTF is the way to go if it's available?

I'm sorry but you are really completely missing the point. You are conflating how Smalltalk is implemented under the hood (using files) with how Smalltalk is used for programming (using the image). Under the hood, Smalltalk has to adapt to the host platform, whether that be Windows, macOS, or Linux. In the original Smalltalk implementation over four decades ago, Smalltalk was the host platform (or operating system), so there were no files for source code.

I'm really surprised to see so many on HN defending this behavior change, when it objectively violates traditional UI/UX principles and Apple's own HIG. The principle of least astonishment is there for a reason: as Apple itself says, iOS interfaces must "incorporate[] features and behaviors in ways people expect."

The toggle is too close to previous versions to have a different behavior. I'm not opposed to the behavior itself, necessarily, and it seems like some people might find it useful. But implementing it as a bait-and-switch was the wrong call.

However, the US continues to use cluster-style munitions in it's conflicts, which end up creating a veritable mine field of un-exploded ordinance.

To clarify, it appears we will stop using such ordinance which leaves >1% un-exploded as of next year. [0]

Considering such devices have hundreds of individual munitions, that is still not something I would consider "safe".

Ahh, I apologize. I misunderstood your original comment.

I'm still a confused off by your comment "I have no idea what they have ever written at all. Robert Martin, .. and so on." when you say that you've "seen FitNesse in the past". Did you not know that he is part of the project?

Have you looked to see what projects they've been on?

FWIW, I don't think Fitnesse is well-written. When I looked at it about 8 years back there were several security holes in it, including no protection against directory traversal attacks.

It was clear that the developers had no experience working in an untrusted environment. Which, to be fair, is the security model for a FitNesse deployment.

(FitNesse.org is served by FitNesse-v20160618, so that's not 100% true.)

I don't trust Martin's views. I think he's full of bluster, and makes assertions far beyond what is justifiable. For example, he did a Prime Numbers kata some years back where it was clear he was gaming the problem - unknowingly, I think - so that his cute but inefficient two-liner would be an acceptable answer, while poo-pooing those who immediately thought to use a sieve variant.

I believe the logic is that "the actual originator of information and actual reporters on the ground" have a much less direct monetary relationship with the customers.

Whether that's valid or not is a separate question, but it has more to do with how the money flows than who produces what.
Pretty cool to see Bloom and Lasp covered. Definitely a sign that they're serious about covering many aspects of the problem space.
Well-researched and comprehensive. The survey of distributed languages includes not just Erlang and Akka, but also E and Cloud Haskell. The overview of CAP is deep and rigorous while not wasting words. This will be a great book once it's finished.
Pretty much exactly this. You can't keep throwing tools at a job and expecting them to compensate for poor developers. You also need to keep with currently good developers to ensure that they don't become lazy, relying on the tooling instead of critical thinking.

The tech insiders who fear a smartphone dystopia
For the short term and mid term yes. However I do hope that in the long term the ideas from ATS, Liquid Haskell, Idris, F*, etc. will be iterated on in order to make them more accessible and usable. In the mean time we'll probably start to see Rust graft on more and more correctness tools like dependent types and SMT solvers, and it will begin to get a little ungainly, like dependently typed Haskell is. But there's only so many ideas you can try out in a new language, and Rust has made the right decisions on that front in the interests of getting into production this decade. :)
I used a GCE to test some image processing software I wrote a while ago (it runs on a very large dataset). I configured a 64 core machine with 128gb of memory. It ran perfectly, although it cost about $200 to run the test for a day.

Sure, it wasn't the highest performance per CPU, but I didn't have to buy the bare metal, I can scale up the number of cores if need be, and I can fire one up whenever I want one.
"doubled NASAs budget and chucked that 50% increase to private contractors like SpaceX"

I agree. If the US said they would tax Apple's cash pile @ 10% if Apple were willing to repatriate the money, that'd bring in enough to double NASA's budget. I'm not saying 10% is the right number, but just giving an example.

I think it's an issue with teaching. I am teaching a few people in my spare time and the way highschool (& sometimes university) teaches programming is not conducive to learning or understanding. I've still yet to meet a kid who wants to learn that can't learn it given reasonable time and proper explanation. Given the Internet likes explaining basic concepts in forty different ways, I think as time goes on learning CS only becomes easier.

With good fundamentals I think picking up new frameworks and different languages is fairly easy. With the exception of Rust and Haskell, which I'm interested in but never got around to using well, the other languages all seem to come fairly easy after a month or two. There will always be idioms you do not know or fail to remember but that's why there are linters, code reviews, and senior engineers.

It's definitely daunting to jump into poorly written products, and I feel every company has at least a section of their code base that is like this, but that's what good on-boarding and ramping up is for. These are all process issues and not fundamental issues with computer science.

Very few companies I've been at are good at one of these things let alone all of these things. A lot of the time you _are_ slogging at it alone and sometimes you go alone for too long because of ego or lack of confidence. These are all organizational and process issues. Some of it is individual issues too that one must overcome, but making it seem like only the passionate succeed in software engineering like everyone is the top 0.01% of their craft is harmful to the profession as a whole.

My solution to most of these problems is to find a mentor at your company. Anyone who knows what they're doing. I find most people are super nice when you ask questions as long as you are willing to learn and aren't just trying to get them to do something that seems annoying (i.e. asking ops people why your build fails...). I've never met an engineer who _doesn't_ want to talk about how something is designed, the pitfalls, and the hacky work arounds. People like being useful to other people. Let them be useful.

Caveat: I've met a few "legacy" engineers who were hired early and have a negative influence on the direction of the architecture. In companies like these? You can just leave. Everyone wants a good software engineer and as long as you're willing to relocate, you'll land somewhere fine.

Yes, don't really disagree with the general trust of that, particularly once you start considering the technical barriers to executing an attack.

My main point was that the threat model includes the manufacturer needing to maintain ownership of secrets more often than you'd expect. I'd suggest that your step 3 isn't as narrowing.

Whether meeting that model warrants building in resistance to classes of SCA is an almost independent question, and I would agree that it's not very likely in most cases. The consumer-facing industries in which you do see that (e.g. set-top box, printing) aren't really IoT ones, either.
Years ago, I started at Google, and was in Charlie's cafe, eating alone. I'm sitting there, and up walks Ken Thompson. He sits down, introduces himself as Ken, and asks me what I work on. We sat there for a good 40 minutes just chatting.

One of my coolest memories of working at Google was that time. He was so down to earth, never bothered to talk up about who he was (even though I knew). I really appreciated that.
The performance loss vs C is in that ballpark; arguably it's sometimes less, because of increased flexibility in refactoring. A bigger issue is memory overhead, that's often 100% larger, and it's harder to avoid. But memory is cheap.
Is German Rail Engineering No Longer Keeping Up To Standards?
I still deal with a line editor on a near daily basis working with some ancient piece of software. For editing records/data, it's very tolerable, and I wouldn't gain too much speed using a visual editor given the data format. For programming, laying it out on paper (or, more often these days, copy pasting the code from a visual editor after you're satisfied with it) is typical.

After a while of using it, you kind of do get used to the limitations and work in the system, but I can't say how efficient I'd actually be making a non trivial program with just a line editor. For instance, creating and maintaining consistent indentation is just plain awful because you can't use tab and there is no auto spacing (well, in this particular instance. Unix ed and most other line editors wouldn't have this issue). I bet if I had to use it entirely with no visual editor to back me up, I'd end up being much more in tune to catching my mistakes though.
We’ve moved away from an obsession with a small base container (which balloons the second you install anything useful on it) to a base-image that’s “warm” on most locations. This way the container only has to add a few layers. The downside is a cold host can take up to a minute to warm up. Easy solutions for that one.
Thanks!

I agree with this comment. OTOH it's very hard to have and enforce discipline in commercial SW development in the US anyway. Managers just want solutions hacked out as quick as possible, so no real time for properly crafting solutions in most cases. Scrum etc. also drives this type of mindset.
Actually, they're not unit. When you type "abcd", then (without exiting insert mode) move left twice and type "xx" (resulting in "abxxcd"), then undoing once will leave you at "abcd".

An observation about hermits...

If one skips sexual companionship, you get the 27-year total isolation like Christopher Knight.

However, if one allows that one activity of procreation, he can suddenly become a hermit hiding in plain sight that nobody calls a "hermit".

An example of that would be my friend's dad. Because my home life wasn't always the most joyful, I spent a lot of time at my friend's house. His dad was a doctor so they had a big enough house where we could play and make noises without bothering the parents. Anyway, I noticed that his dad never went out with his buddies for golf or have colleagues over for drinks. He shared a private practice with 3 other doctors but they never came over. His only outings were walking to a nearby creek to fish with one of his kids.

As another example, his dad would spend $100 for a pay-per-view boxing match but the only people watching was the 3 of us: his dad, my friend, and me. Many other guys that spend $$$ on a pay-per-view would use it as an event to invite all their friends to get maximum mileage out of it.

Growing up around him, the repeated description was "he's extremely reserved" -- as in "yeah, my dad is extremely reserved and private". Now that I'm a lot older and share many of the same traits of extreme introversion, I can look back and sum up his disposition as "hermit in plain sight". Having a family fooled a lot of people. Instead of "hermit", you get more society-approved labels such as "dedicated family man".

> Lets take for example ORMs and Hibernate in particular. I can't tell you how many times I've seen horrors related to ORMs / Hibernate ...

My teams don't use ORMs anymore. I've found that all of the time we "save" by not hand-writing SQL is instead lost fighting with the ORM, and problems with SQL are a lot easier to Google.

I've also found that the ability to swap databases quickly is almost totally unimportant. 100% of the time we're targeting SQLite and PostgreSQL. I don't need a few extra thousand lines of code so I can theoretically support SQL Server running on a toaster in some kid's dorm somewhere.
LabGopher: Great server deals on eBay

I would appreciate hearing more about what it would take to satisfy your privacy concerns. DNS providers do gain a 99.9%+ complete overview (and VPN providers get complete metadata) into the browsing habits of their users, and it is more than reasonable to request a public commitment documenting how this information is handled.

In general there is an entire category of the majority of users who don't care enough about their privacy, and then a second group who want to know that it's been considered but appreciate the convenience of relying on a third party. (I think the Signal app is good example of a tool attempting to cater to these first two categories.)

A slightly overlapping but mostly separate third group is not going to be satisfied by just about anything a third party claims to do (often in part due to nation-state level considerations) and typically doesn't use off-premises tools like this one. It is hard to justify attempting to meet the needs of this small but vocal group of users since it reduces the level of convenience (and thus mass-market appeal) that can be offered to the other groups.

It is, however, very much worth documenting where the line is drawn because doing so can alleviate legitimate concerns of the privacy-conscious but busy second group and avoid public outcry (caused by speculation/proof of incompetence and/or indifference) being picked up by the majority of potential users.

but what's the alternative? Stable companies also kill

The alternative is products which, considered in isolation and with all costs taken into account, produce more revenue than they cost to maintain.

Nobody shuts down a project that costs $500,000 per annum and brings in $1,000,000 per annum.

Of course, 'all costs' there doesn't just mean employee salary - it has to include difficult-to-measure costs like the opportunity costs of the attention it demands from executives, paying a portion of the support costs of any legacy systems it needs, and suchlike.
