>Some of them are templates which also need to be in the repositories.

Letting people who are editing templates use git seems perfectly fine to me. Using git to version constantly changing data is what I think isn't maintainable.

I think at some point that polluting the commit logs with data changes, dealing with merging issues, and training everyone who wants to change data on git imposes a hard limit on scaleability for this approach.

You may never hit that limit, but I don't think this would work for very large teams, and I suspect that if you git to the point that it stops working, it will be very difficult to sort it out.
The FCC Is Preparing to Weaken the Definition of Broadband
I should at first point out that I am by no definition an expert on CPU design, operating systems, or infosec.

But I just remembered that years ago the FreeBSD developers discovered a vulnerability in Intel's Hyperthreading that could allow a malicious process to read other processes' memory.[1]

To the degree that I understand what is going on here, that sounds very similar to the way the current vulnerabilities work.

For a while, back then, I was naive enough to think this would be the end of SMT on Intel CPUs, but I was very wrong about that.

So I am wondering - is this just a funny coincidence, or could people have seen this coming back then?

Not that you should have to, but buying on GDAX usually solves any of these problems. Also no transaction fee that way if you don't take the market offers and make your own.

I agree, and would go a step further: inadequate parking is a feature, not a bug, because it creates incentives that benefit all of the people living in the area regardless of socioeconomic status.
I like to think of a lot of vulnerability discovery and research as solving a puzzle. In the sense that this puzzle has so many far reaching implications makes it totally compelling to me. tqbf says "glorious", and I couldn't disagree.

[Edit] Or, how far down does the rabbit hole go?

Additionally, it is quite fascinating to me to compare the complexity of modern CPRUs with, say, a compiler.

But the currency is not required for banks to actually use the system? I'd be all over this, but it seems banks are only interested in the Ripple tech, and don't require (a lot of) XRP to operate the Ripple tech.
I can't tell you how much I would love a Linux laptop, so much has been solved around power consumption and battery life, wifi stability, and so on. The one show stopper continues to be spotty HiDPI support for essential apps like The GIMP — the menu and fonts stubbornly stayed at 1x resolution and the icons were teeny. Ugh. Had a 9360 for a short time before reluctantly returning it.

So for me it's a Samsung Pro Chromebook as a daily driver and a 2015 Macbook Pro for development and graphics work.

Video itself is not enough information. We need a cryptographic way to capture and archive corroborating signals at the time video is recorded. Perhaps there is a verifiable means of determining the geographic location, background radiation and orientation of the cameras taking the video which would be nigh impossible to spoof.
Windows touch devices are a device type we target.

Typically testing using Chrome on Windows using a touch screen gives you a reasonable frame of reference for how iOS and Android behave since all are WebKit-like (at least until fine tuning, when you're of course testing on real devices).

Almost all search warrants are fishing expeditions in one way or another. If they knew for a fact that whatever the search is for is at the location, such as visual identification, then most likely probable cause would cover it.

Doesn't have to be thousands of hotels, just the hotels commonly identified as popular with illegals. Once that well dries up you find a new one.

Would it happen? Probably not, but would depend on the local situation.
> I am curious how hard / time consuming is to reimplement the existing languages in Truffle.

We focus on getting really high performance from our Truffle languages, so we often forget to emphasise this point: Truffle is the easy way to create languages, as well as the high performance way. Truffle uses the AST pattern, which is how an undergraduate would implement an interpreter after one compilers course. And you can get 90% of the high performance from a simple interpreter, and then work on it a bit more to get the remaining 10% when you find you need it.
You're right, that's speculative issue rather than speculative execution. I was being sloppy in my terminology when I called it that. It is speculation, however.

There isn't any depth to the ripple price. If I created 1 trillion digital yakitori coins and I got my father to buy 1 yakitori coin for $10, I am theoretically worth about $10 trillion. "Theoretically". Will journalist at cnbc do an article on that?

Is it me or are the media pushing out a ridiculous amount of clickbait lately? Or am I just more aware of it because of HN.

What's crazy is this isn't journalism. The article comes off more as a paid advertisement for ripple than an article.
He's specifically asking in the context of the recent Intel CPU bugs.
It's a good point, though I don't recall seeing many posts that have been flagged where I think they should be resuscitated.

In this case, I think the correct action probably would be to unflag it, and change the title.

Maybe the mod's wouldn't do that because it goes against the "community led moderation" they have been trying to introduce more and more of, but this is a case where I think it is warranted.

The bigger issue is how to allow the community to say "this title is terribly misleading/clickbait" with the intent to fix the title rather than just hiding the article.
From the article:

One problem with hashed passwords is if two users have the same hash, then you know they have the same password. A solution (invented in Unix) is to hash some random bytes (called salt) along with the password to yield the stored hash. Since different users will have different salt, the hashes will be different even if the passwords are the same. (Of course you need to store the salt along with the hash in order to check passwords.) Like Unix, the Alto used salted and hashed passwords.
These technologies were created at a time when it seemed to be very difficult/near impossible to exploit them for the purposes were seeing today. Of course Intel should have changed course when processor speed and newer technologies were introduced. Rather, they decided not to worry about this.

I have the prior version and the trackpad is terrible compared to my MBP. Like devastatingly bad. It feels so odd coming back to that computer being forced to use a mouse. Using it longer than a minute with that trackpad makes me loose patience.

Reviews i read before buying it said the trackpad is great. And since they've said similar things for all Windows laptops i've had in the past--and the trackpads have always been bad, i wouldn't count on this one being good.
Speculative execution definitely does provide meaningful performance benefits, but like many things it only really shows itself clearly in a few algorithms. Branch prediction failure is a fairly well known source of performance issues.

You can, but spectre only affects your own process, and if you can compile/run your program, it's unlikely that exploiting anything to read the memory of your own process is any danger.
People who think that rejuvenation therapies are only for the rich are not paying attention.

Look at first generation senolytic drug candidates that clear ~25% of senescent cells in mice, varying by tissue type. These vary from $100 per dose, for things like dasatinib plus quercetin, to a few thousand dollars per dose where you need a biotech company to one-off synthesize it for you, such as foxo4-dri. One dose is needed every few years - more than that won't help further.

The story will be the same for glucosepane cross-link breakers.

The trend in this type of technology is towards engineered small molecule / enzyme / peptide / etc that will cost next to nothing a decade after it is introduced, and can in any case be manufactured to order in China and shipped in if the patent holder decides to try charging monopoly rates. Alternatively, gene and cell therapies that can be mass produced, all the complexity baked into that manufacture, and then administered by a bored clinician. The cost will be similar to present day biologics, which are largely in the $1-10k/dose range. Again all of these treatments will be once-every-few-years, not any more frequently. That is the point of damage repair as a strategy - you only need to do it as often as the damage builds up. There is no point in doing it any more often.

But like a Fourier transform is able to take something complex and express using simpler mathematical language.

I would assume we could take something extremely abstract and explain it using simpler abstractions that more people could understand; similar to a Fourier transform.
I've been seeing a lot of news about Ripple taking over my feed, and I'd never heard of it before this week. I'm suspecting this is just a very successful viral marketing campaign applied to the cryptocurrency system as an elaborate pump-and-dump scam.

You shouldn't expect not to be the bag holder; statistically, you will. Most people are simply not going to be able to cash out at anything other than a massive loss, and this is important and worth saying.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I'm failing to see what's unclear about this ...

> so basically, just like any asset?

The difference being that if you buy all of a stock, you've bought a company, an enterprise that exists. Also, non-penny-stocks tend to have rather fatter order books than any crypto (even Bitcoin).

Think of it like this: what was the market cap of Beanie Babies in July 1999? Let's keep it to "investment grade" Beanies, per the jargon Beanie speculators were using. Where did all that value go?? Answer: nowhere, it was illusory.
Do you have a blog?
Sure, but you've made the choice to live in a place with low enough density that you have a lot of indoor and outdoor space and enough distance from neighbors that you get a lot of quiet.

I live in a place where you don't get any of that that (unless you have $2M+ to spend on a house and land, which still doesn't fix the noise problem), and yet people still object to modest density increases and investment in public transit.

And in this case, I'd expect an increase in density to mean prices will drop, therefore enabling people to own more space at a lower price. This does mean more vertical building, so you lose private outdoor space, but that's really the only downside vs. the status quo.
If Apple started carrying them in stores I'm sure it would be a huge boost. They are still selling Airport routes.
I work for a large games publisher and we still do that in fact! I've recently been on a trip to our customer service centre, and the guys and girls there have access to early builds of nearly all of our games so that when the game comes out they can provide advice on day one. And yes, I too was surprised to find out that they do provide actual gameplay advice if someone calls with a question - every desk had several massive game guides for our games just in case.
What are you even arguing here?

If I observe fact X which is "bleeding obvious", then it's not my responsibility to tell the world about X.

Of course this stuff isn't "bleeding obvious", but I'm going to assume that the AMD engineers thought that it was "obvious enough" to not explicitly to tell the world about it.

Besides... do you have any idea what kind of NDAs those engineers are going to have to sign?

See pre-emptible as something that should only run jobs that can be re-schedule. You don't save what you're doing; you close all that can be closed and mark all tasks that have to be re-done. If you are 3 minutes in a task that takes 5 minutes, then stop it and put it back on your global queue; The gain of running on preempt will compensate for the loss of rerunning a few tasks twice.

Beautiful machine. Whilst my primary is now a 6 core/32gb desktop, my laptop is the OG X1 Carbon from 2011. I was waiting for the initial release and might have been the first to order it in Australia. It is still looking great today (chassis looks as if it could be just a few weeks old, true I've looked after it but it's also just that solid/high quality panels), although the new is of course hugely improved.

Their i7 only had 4GB of memory, so I got the i5 version with 8. Unfortunately - or actually, fortunately - there was a bulge in the chassis that tech couldn't get out so ended up returning the unit, and by that time the i7/8/256 was just around the corner so arranged for that to be the replacement.

Unit still works today, and I'm very glad I got the i7 CPU now. Much snappier than the i5, even though battery life took a big hit. On top of that, battery is worn out. I am probably going to look for another replacement battery soon, and am keen on a 2018 upgrade, but anyway for short development stints including Docker it is great. Keyboard is top of the class, so is the track pointer (which I love).

The upcoming 2018 version (8th Gen Intels) is expected to have 4/8c which will be fantastic. Sadly only 16gb memory, but Docker has kind of shifted my requirements there vs Virtualbox. (Perhaps I'll wait for a version where Intel has sorted their Meltdown issue.)
That's mostly because HLS support is still not where it should be.
Hasn't it been established that most chips have backdoors? I remember reading an article about that HN a while back. That's why china, russia, etc are trying to develop their native cpus. Also, isn't this why sensitive US agencies don't allow chinese made hardware?
Certainly an interesting approach

>While this is a much quicker solution in the short term, an engineer will have to context switch out of their work, watch the release go out and make sure nothing goes wrong—that all hurts productivity.

Do you think this has caused a productivity increase? I would guess the additional overhead (unit tests for data files, training sessions for git, engineers doing code reviews, documentation, etc.) would cause more of a time suck.

I do like the idea of letting the stakeholder take care of it themselves on their schedule though without having to code up a GUI. The initial time investment for a GUI usually isn't that bad for us but the added maintenance is a huge PITA.
Would you rather have performance or security?
As far as I understand they hacker will need to know what they are looking for to exploit the Intel bug. Or am I missing the something. Is this bit security really worth the performance?
Does this tool work with some embroidery machine? In other words, can we think of "shareable" designs that people can exchange and embroider their own clothes from a local machine, only by using Inkscape?
On GIMP you'd probably be waiting for them to port to GTK3 for it to work well... and I wouldn't hold your breath. The party line there is still that they may just target GTK4 instead, given the likely timescale.

I do believe the unstable 2.9 series introduced an easy way to increase icon sizes, though, so that should be in 2.10 at... some point.

Could always go for the mere "full HD" screen where such things aren't as necessary.
Yeah, basically all BIOS have that. Some simply need a FAT usb key inserted with a specifically-named file that the BIOS looks for instead of a "true" bootable media.
Fantastic. There aren’t many programs, they tend to be Windows only, and they’re VERY expensive.

> ... It's a state power-grab for supply side controls -- planned economy thinking -- justified by Adam Smith rhetoric, because some folks in San Francisco have decided that they know what's wrong with the local planning of every other city in the state.

How is this planned economy thinking? It seems to loosen regulation in local markets to allow developers to more readily meet demand.

Quite to the contrary the current city zoning rules seem like planned economy thinking, because it makes a zoning plan that is rarely changed over even a decade-long timeline to match housing supply with the current demand.

> people choose not to live in Brisbane because it's inconvenient to everywhere, not because Brisbane has zoning restrictions.

Your argument seem to assume that the state will force developers to build where there is no demand. This law says nothing about that and the state has no such power, and this law to the contrary seek to ease regulation where there is demand for developers to build.

Contrary to what you say Brisbane is served by public transit by both Muni and Caltrain. There is also a developer that wants to build a lot of new housing in Brisbane, so the market clearly think there is demand for new housing in Brisbane. The largest obstacle for the market to meet this demand is local zoning and the planning process in Brisbane.

I've been waiting for the 9370 announcement and today I bought a 9360 :)

The bigger battery is nice, USB-A is nice. The weight is the same. Don't care about placement or camera. And the slower RAM doesn't bother me.

I got the updated version with an 8th gen that has win10 pre-installed, since the 9360 with 8th gen is pnly with win10. That's OK, was planning on setting up dual boot anyway.
I'm extremely happy with my Thinkpad X1 Carbon 4th gen. That's my second ThinkPad, absolutely perfect for development, great no-nonsense laptop, works flawlessly with Ubuntu. Highly recommend it.
...and that's where Emacs starter kits come into the picture. Especially when compared to VS, Emacs based solutions always seem superior to me because they don't require me to use the mouse for every. little. effing. thing. I want to achieve.

That, and they are usually much more designed around a more UNIX-focused toolset than most IDEs, which means less interdependent blobs of cruft like Intellisense and the like.
Sure, but both the article and my comment are both about the US, where there are no consequences for no-shows. I'm not sure our government(s) here are the best places to regulate that sort of thing.

It used to not be paywalled:

> Measureable: 8-12% - Highly cached random memory, with buffered I/O, OLTP database workloads, and benchmarks with high kernel-to-user space transitions are impacted between 8-12%. Examples include Oracle OLTP (tpm), MariaBD (sysbench), Postgres(pgbench), netperf (< 256 byte), fio (random IO to NvME).

> Modest: 3-7% - Database analytics, Decision Support System (DSS), and Java VMs are impacted less than the “Measureable” category. These applications may have significant sequential disk or network traffic, but kernel/device drivers are able to aggregate requests to moderate level of kernel-to-user transitions. Examples include SPECjbb2005 w/ucode and SQLserver, and MongoDB.
