This is amazing.

I ask a question, and the only "answer" is simply an excuse to segue into a weird, patronizing, passive-aggressive wall of text that has zero to do with what I actually posted, and is nothing but a personal attack dressed up as a lecture on politeness. Amazing.

I guess you don't reach 10k karma on a throwaway by not having a gallery to play to.

Actually, a main question is this: can npm modules read require.cache? If so, why? Can they require code outside of the npm modules folder. Again, why? Couldn't any npm module steal your credentials, and suffer from the same source minification/github custody stuff?

Take an npm module. It does setInterval and every minute, it checks require.cache for any file with 'config' in it, and sends it to the crook. Is this possible currently?

I would think npm modules should be require-sandboxed to their own directory. Even then, there is compiled code, etc. Oy vey.
He'd have to somehow make outbound requests from the server. IIRC, the default AWS VPC config would prevent this. Not sure about other cloud environments.

Where I work, outbound requests must be made through proxy servers which have a whitelisted set of allowed domains, which is only allowed after a security review.
I use uMatrix, this site just shows up as a white page until I allow it to load some JS from a third party. Once I allow the JS, I see a graph that gets built without any explanation of what that graph means.
If you're running a Windows machine, I've no idea how it handles the microcode updates.

For LINUX (and probably BSD/etc users):

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/microcode#Enabling_Inte...

Your distribution probably has a firmware package that has this bootloader stub. It applies the latest microcode updates just before your OS actually begins starting up (but for Linux after the Kernel has initialized things and is preparing to hand off to the initrd).

Yes, this is something that needs to happen at every boot; they don't get burned in to the CPU.

I run (many) jessie systems with 4.9 kernels (still haven't made a 4.14 configuration). No problem at all.
The derisive comment is really precious coming from you.
Have worked with ES...

If you want the out-of-the-box distributed experience, then you can't go wrong with Elasticsearch because of the built-in sharding mechanism. However, figuring out how many shards you need for each index, where should each shard sits, and how to balance out the cluster has always been a trial and error exercise. Indices continue to grow like there is infinite space, and performance will degrade. What I find useful in the end is to have multiple ES clusters, which seems obvious right? One of the most frequently asked questions is "how many nodes do I need", and the answer is always "it depends" which is true, but gives me a chill. With Cassandra, from my experience, adding more nodes (scale horizontally) so data spread more thinly, and revisit some data structure change, would be an acceptable answer.

The other thing is a lot of folks I have worked with just dump stuff into ES because ES feels like a dumping ground for "json"-like documents (reminds of me MongoDB). Please compress, understand mappings and different fields to make the document smaller...

I am still very convinced SQL databases are robust enough to take any lazy dumping.
There was a time when one of their blogs (one of the founders, I think) touted the fact that they had never lost an engineer to attrition. It seemed like a strange fact to use to promote the work environment because, even if true and impressive over any length of time, it would certainly have to be retracted sooner or later. I know at least one of the original Kiln engineers has moved on and Trello has been sold.

Anyway, I was always curious just how elite of a team they managed to maintain, so thanks for your comment.

Edit to add: whoever the devs were and are, hat tip for a remarkably stable system that does what it’s supposed to do. Since Kiln 2.2 or so landed way back when, the FogBugz/Kiln combo has done everything we need for support and development. Much to their sales team’s chagrin, it can be difficult to justify an upgrade, despite the allure of feature and performance updates.
I'd like to see some text explaining what I'm looking at.

Based on the title, it's something to do with cache latency, but that doesn't really help me. What exactly is it measuring? How does it perform this measurement? What are the limitations of this technique? What are the wider implications of this? What uses does it have, both potentially nefarious ones and potentially beneficial ones?
Is that a euphemism for "I think it’s wrong"?
You don't, because you're running on your own hardware, and there is no concept of cloud disks. There are some solutions like Ceph, but they're tough to setup.

Usually I just pin containers to hosts. This is fine on a small setup. In fact, many of my small setups are just a single host.

This is not inherent to conservatism; it's a perversity of Fox News in particular. Making a conservative news channel to compete with it would improve that situation considerably.
As others have said, the main thing is the lack of smartphones. The date is late enough that you're past obviously 80s hair styles etc. I'm guessing people are dressier than if you shot equivalent scenes today but it's Manhattan so people maybe being a bit more dressed up doesn't jump out at you.
You can abuse mushrooms if you take them in lower dosages. This keeps the antidepressant effect, but doesn't allow you to trip.

I had done this - nothing bad happened to me, but not suggesting to try this at home. The point still stands though: please don't misinform people around you since that just reinforces the negative agenda around theses substances.
The phrase "Docker for Mac" is super misleading. If we run Docker in a Linux VM on macOS, I don't think it counts as "Docker for Mac", IMHO.

Docker is primarily for running Linux applications on Linux (yes, I know there are things like Joyent SDC, Docker Engine on Windows etc).

i.e. all the *BSDs? Many Linux distros that ship with BusyBox only or FreeBSD/Linux type systems (AFAIK Debian and also maybe Gentoo allowed FreeBSD userlands)?

POSIX Sh is quite capable. I maintain even my bashrc POSIX compatible, in order to not have any problems when I want to run my config on some remote machine, or on some local BSD installation (and I did run FreeBSD for more than a year, quite feasible option for a workstation IMO).
> finding terrorists isn't a "political purpose" it's a matter of life and death

If you believe that these actions are necessary to meaningfully reduce harm from terrorists, then the government's claim about life and death holds up.

The concern is that these actions do not meet those conditions (necessary, meaningful reduction), and that the government is using the argument to cover for actions it wants to take for other reasons, including political ones.

Also, even those conditions are not sufficient to justify it. The actions must be lawful, of course, and the loss of liberty must be worth the gains in security; the U.S. (generally) has valued liberty very highly.

If you actually //need// bash ask for it, not sh.

This comes from more armature script authors not being precise enough with requirements, or not targeting the more common and portable spec.
You really assume too much about me. I'm one generation removed from 3rd world farmers.

You're convinced that anyone who has a problem with their standard of living in America has no perspective, when really you're the one who can't see the perspective of the lower class of someone living in one of the richest countries in the world. Seriously, you're making these arguments on the internet, on a forum where everyone is presumed to be working in technology and therefore not starving, how about you go volunteer at a shelter in your city like I do and tell those people "cheer up! I bet you wouldn't want to switch places with John Rockefeller!"

I know you won't though.
An interesting idea, my question is how high can you fly before temperatures lower the efficiency of the batteries? Let us assume a pressurized battery compartment to eliminate the air pressure issues, anyone familiar with the energy costs to keep cargo areas relatively stable? That might be equivalent for a battery compartment.
In theory it should be possible for a hyper visor to retrofit a fix into a guest, but it's messy and I doubt anyone will ever do it. Could be fun though.

Quick sketch: disable EPT and go back to shadow paging. Maintain a third page table with any kernel pages unmapped. Invisibly swap between on syscalls.
Addendum: The set of cuts would then include all points of the 2D-surface. So in principle, as the number of cuts approaches real infinity (pun intended; if you might call it that) the area left between the cuts approaches zero. That's certainly not infinite. But this cannot be done with only circle and straight edge - thus in no system of only two dimensions, pretty much by analogy - yikes - I mean the apparent isomorphism between Cartesian and polarized coordinate-systems is the only one I know in 2D.

Certainly, cutting is the arch example of proportional rationing, so the word alone implies rational numbers. Then, cutting is the act of removing a set of points from one set. So, the same construction over the real line but circled only a quarter around a midpoint is effectively removing two quandrants, half of the circle. So then you could say you have two infinite sets, but exactly because they don't touch (interact with) each other.
Well put it this way:

You can assume everyone has a modern bash, and make it the end users problem if they don't, or you can write portable shell scripts and know it will work.

Honestly the things you can't do in posix shell compared to bash border on "use a fully featured language" anyway.

To some degree, it absolutely is. At the very least, your reality needs to shift. That's the whole idea of healing depression... there are things in your reality that need shifting.

I'm also sure that psilocybin isn't the only molecule involved. And I'm also sure that if someone isn't ready to take active ownership of their mental health into taking psilocybin could be just as moot as any other substance.

Healing is a deeply embedded, embodied process. If you're experiencing depression, there's probably more than one switch that needs to get flipped on the switchboard, and a lot of dials that need to get retuned, along with habits, beliefs and perspectives that need questioning.

Depression is bred out of dehumanizing norms in belief and habit. You can't just continue to go about practicing the very same things that feed your depression, take a magic pill and suddenly feel well adapted. There's going to have to be profound realization.

That's exactly what a "trip" is. If you don't want to get jarred by your own realizations, you can microdose. You won't "trip" in a heavy sense, but you very well might uncover some painful things you've been neglecting for a very long time. Hopefully then you will do what you've been needing to do for a long time: grieve.
Um, what?
4.4.110 is available (and patched) right now from kernel.org . Compile it yourself and you'll be safe(r).
Interestingly I get:

dmesg -H | grep 'page tables isolation'
[ +0.000000] Kernel/User page tables isolation: enabled

grep cpu_insecure /proc/cpuinfo && echo "Patched" || echo "Unpatched!"
Unpatched!

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep pti
fpu_exception	: yes

uname -a
Linux host 4.9.0-5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.65-3+deb9u2 (2018-01-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux

So page tables isolation seems to be enabled but neither the pti flag nor the cpu_insecure bug is in cpuinfo.

EDIT: Maybe this is because it is Xen guest. Do I need pti on a XEN guest if the host is fully patched?
Rather unusual, especially when it comes to crossing the northern land border, and especially crossing that land border with more than one person in the vehicle.

It's fairly unusual for them to perform any search or inspection at the Canadian land border for Canadian or United States citizens or residents. I suspect that persons who are from nations which are considerably less diplomatically positive with the United States, and especially who have specific grounds for suspicion related to their identity or documents, would bear the brunt of searches in general and electronic device searches in particular.
Reading between the lines would be figuring out who at or around Intel profits from this chaos. There is certainly someone, but since everybody is just focussed on the technical issues, whoever it is will probably throw a party this weekend.
I have since gotten out of the habit, but when I was just starting out I gave myself CTS one Christmas doing a giant refactor with just vi to remove a disasterous idiom from the codebase that was O(n^2).

I knew a quite a few commands but I didn’t know the block indentation commands and that was about a third of my typing over that week.

After that, part of my regular “I’m tired or there’s nothing to work on” routine included reading the accelerator key documentation for my editor of choice. I found all sorts of good stuff and it really made me faster for quite some time. Now I do more analysis work and the accelerators that help there are less numerous. Fast code nav being a critical one.

But some of these tools make it pretty hard to find all their features, which is a shame.

I am in the same boat. I have a perfectly working Thinkpad 560E (Pentium) but no floppy or other adapter to really connect to it. I use it to play Doom but adding some other old games would be nice. Hm, come to think of it my old tablet has infrared, maybe i could send some files that way ...
The problem is most people don't want to consider themselves "serious bash scripters" but still think they can write bash, which always results in unstable and vulnerable scripts. Python on the other hand can be written by unserious python scripters and more often be at least accidentally correct. Another big issue is that the quoting, escaping and expansion rules in bash can be daunting even for serious bash scripters, with silent errors or completely different behaviour just because you forgot a : before (or was it after?) the $-

As a test, run shellcheck on any random shell-script written by these Coworkers from Christmas Past (or your own past) and it will spew serious warnings on almost every single line, run an equivalent analyzer on an equivalently unserious python file and you might in bad cases get 2 or 3 minor warnings per 100 lines.

The comparison is a bit unfair because just by getting these compiler errors and exceptions from a real language you force yourself into a more serious mental mode of programming instead of happy scripting, but that is just another argument in favor for not using bash IMO.
You're really not interested in defending your ideas to anyone who doesn't immediate agree with your absurd conclusion that everyone should want to trade places with John Rockefeller.
Your parent was talking about Meltdown; that's the one that breaks security features, specifically: memory safety of a higher privilege level from a lower one.
I see so many #!/bin/sh scripts with bashisms in them. These scripts are broken and will cause errors. /bin/sh is not always Bash even on Linux systems. It definitely is not on BSDs. There is no reason to use Bash for shell scripts when you can do the same thing portably.

My own rather limited opinion is that accessing the Video Card via any technology involves using the facilities created by the video card itself, and that making it easier to use has been sidelined in favor of adding features for video game developers to allow much of the modern games to be created. There is probably a happy-medium between super simple API/engine for throwing polygons at the screen and having to build an entire 3D engine pipeline every time you want to use WebGL, but I'm not entirely sure we are there yet. In the mean time, some people use libraries to abstract away some of the uglier parts of WebGL so they can make things more quickly, my favorite is https://threejs.org/
Why not just run ElasticSearch on a single instance then ?

That way you're not having to completely redo your search infrastructure at some point in time.

You can seamlessly scale from 1 document to billions without any change to your code, backup approach, monitoring etc.

Microcode updates can be applied on boot through the BIOS/EFI firmware, but also by the operating system. Linux (I don't know about Windows) has facilities to update the microcode on boot:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/microcode

https://wiki.debian.org/Microcode

Also, directly from Intel:

While the regular approach to getting this microcode update is via a BIOS update, Intel realizes that this can be an administrative hassle. The Linux operating system has a mechanism to update the microcode after booting. For example, this file will be used by the operating system mechanism if the file is placed in the /etc/firmware directory of the Linux system.

Apple probably delivers them through EFI updates, but of course, getting updated EFI firmware from Apple was never a problem.

> For example, putting the same dataset in Postgres or ES wouldn't make one deliver more relevant results given equal configurations.

This is not the case.

The OOTB search capabilities in ElasticSearch (even by default) far, far exceed what you get in PostgreSQL FTS.

Also you're completely contradicting yourself. You say you don't advocate reimplmenting something provided by the tool but then suggest doing exactly that.
You won't even defend the quote you posted from it's most obvious criticism?
> Why not just run ElasticSearch on a single instance then ?

Sorry, I am not sure why you brought up a single instance. If you run on a single instance, you lose half of the benefits of ES which is trying to be highly available.

If we have an index which does not need any backups, single instance is fine, but for most people single instance is not an option. Furthermore, if one is already struggling with 3-4 nodes, how helpful is single instance?
