>If you have an account and you're participating in a project in any way through github.com, you're part of its social network.

What part of GitHub does this person have a problem with? It's entirely unclear what they mean by social network. Is that like, showing the commits you make on your profile? Having a page that shows what you've worked on at all? This seems like good ways to be difficult to work with in open source projects for zero benefit.
Intel (like any other who wants to run a monopoly) has been trying to evade any responsibilities in wrong-doings either within (FOOF, the 2 new vulns) or without ("inappropriate" practices against competition a couple of decades ago).

This time they got caught with THEIR poop on OUR lunch-box.

They will deny wrong-doing, they will downplay it. I wonder if these vulns are exploitable, who had prior knowledge (e.g. NSA had 20 years of abuse for MS SME), and if they patch them, what new backdoor they now got (because conspiracy nuts apart, no one burns a card unless they got a better one and they just lost control of the previous one).
You shouldn't be comparing plain text passwords anyway. You should be using a secure password hash, such as bcrypt, sure, you should use constant time comparison, but in this specific case, it won't really make you vulnerable to use normal comparison.
I get that, but at the same time, there's a ton of reasons why a developer might not want their name attached to a bunch of code.

As a maintainer myself, I can respect that. If the PR is important enough, I'm more than happy to merge it without knowing the author (with some additional tweaking if necessary).
This is not true at all. This is just a pessimistic exaggeration.
I like this, but it does make it difficult to discuss the PR. Perhaps you could issue a private key or token in response to the POST and then add comments with that key/token?
To be absolutely safe, you just need a processor that is simple enough not to use any of these performance enhancing techniques (ie out-of-order execution, speculation, branch prediction, caching.) Of course it might be much slower than you are used to but if security is your primary concern it makes sense.
Can I also suggest making this opt-in per repo? I don't want this in my repos at all.

Oddly enough, just last week I got in a row with someone else with exactly the same idea: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/7kp73c/anonymo...
I doubt we can even find a contemporary software company with that kind of market share to begin with, let alone the severity of bugs. Windows in the 90s perhaps?
One of my former supervisors informed me to this reality. He laments having to travel through Singapore because the experience of an Indian over there is more troubling as he is in the minority being well todo and educated while the bulk of Indians in Singapore are lower class/uneducated and treated differently. He said something to that extent, and I realized that yes the ones who managed to make the big trip here had in fact passed through a filtering process, while more local regions about India can receive those with lesser means and do.
The biggest one being Marrionette but yeah, that’s likely a factor.
Sharing Economy: Is it dying or just starting to take off?
Indeed, you could plug extra RAM in the back of the CPC, and even stack these.
[Disclaimer: I work for Okta]

Sorry about the confusing product and pricing page.There are typically two different scenarios for pricing: Users can be employees, consultants, contractors etc. or Users can be consumers, customers etc. Depending on the context, the pricing differs.

Not only can you remove the user/employee from the centralized service (Okta) but you can also hook-up to various HR systems (if you so desire) like AD, Workday, Ultipro, BambooHR etc. and have them act authoritatively to determine if an employee is employed, on-leave or has terminated their employment.

It all depends how you define lower castes. I’m not talking about farmer vs merchant vs priest, but about the castes that are toiling in the farms and untouchables or others who can’t even read, surely they are considered to have a lack of resources.
If you're creating multiple sockpuppets, then you're violating the GitHub TOS. If you're using a single sockpuppet with the intention of busting up the ability to link your activity, you're limited to a single repo, and possibly a single commit.

Not to play devil's advocate here but there's no harm in labeling oneself as a troll unless his actions meet the criteria. I certainly don't believe he's trolling in this instance nor do his previous comments suggest past behavior of such. Anyways, just wanted to point out that this is a straw man argument.
haha I can understand that. Thanks for the support.
I'd say if you have a basic understanding of calculus (derivatives and integrals), you could get though Griffiths' books with another companion book, like what my college used: https://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Methods-Physical-Science...

I'm still upset that my copies of Griffiths' texts were stolen my senior year of college...
Hey there's a typo on the website: "Bitcoin is fairly mainstream now, but it's inventor is still a mystery."

Interesting project but I didn't see any information regarding data collection and retention on your site. Granted that's unlikely to come up but in theory I would imagine someone could subpoena your for information regarding who that person was that created the PR, no?

Also curious how this does with, say, updating a PR.
Please stop overriding my browser's/OS's scrolling behavior. I know best how I want to view your content. Thank you.

That's good to hear. It seems intuitive that it should be impractical to usefully influence randomness; if I can predict anything after a whitening step, isn't that whitening step horribly broken? But I've learned to squelch my intuition when it comes to cryptography.

(Now would be a great time to plug Matasano...)
What initially reminded me of him is the way he uses internet. That seems more and more appealing from this perspective.
Eh, you'd be surprised.

Big projects? no.

But I sometimes submit patches to small projects that I've integrated into personal projects, and pretty much every patch I've ever submitted has been accepted without comment.

I set my git username and email to "<>" at the global level, which completely breaks githubs UI, and people /still/ accept the pull requests.

> Why is being a woman so important it is part of the title?

Because programming is a stereotypically male field, and Glamour is a publication targetting a female audience, and the headline has a key job of communicating to the target audience (including, as necessary, overcoming common biases that they are likely to hold) that the article is relevant to them and worth reading.

> Do women have a harder time learning? Is it a bigger accomplishment when a woman does it? Are people more fascinated by the fact that a _woman_ was able to code

It's not a news article headlined “Woman learns to code”, which would justify those interpretations. It's an article titled (emphasis added) “Learning to code as a woman changed my life”. That how an experience changes your life is in part a function of the prior situation in your life, and that gender is (whether or not it ideally ought to be) a factor that significantly affects one situation in life are not particularly controversial observations.

> If I was a young girl and I saw articles like 'I'm a woman, and I learned to program!' I'd probably feel

The headline here wasn't like that, and from your phrasing you aren't a young girl which suggest your claim about what you would feel if you were reflects more the biases of your actual life situation as something other than a young girl than what anyone who is a young girl would actually think.

Beyond being focussed on a headline unlike the actual article headline, and being dubious speculation about what young girls might think about that straw man headline, this comment is also misplaced in pretending that an article in a woman's magazine that goes out of its way to point to coding as a pursuit that can be entered at any stage in life is focussed on an audience of “young girls” in the first place.
"the trickle-down effect to cases like those of Garrison Keillor, Jonathan Schwartz, Ryan Lizza and Al Franken, in which the accusations are scattered, anonymous or, as far as the public knows, very vague and unspecific, has been troubling."

This is a hot take, especially when Al Franken was literally photographed with his hands on a woman's chest. Sexual assault is bad, using your position to enable that should get you fired. Yes even if you are a democrat.

"What about the women who are the predators?" the author claims, though the #metoo was fundamentally about sexual assault, not specifically men assaulting women. I mean literally one of the heinous examples she provided was a man assaulting a man. This article is concerning, and I'm curious what their ulterior motive is.

Just to announce my bias, I'm a leftist, and I have a suspicion this is a democrat trying to gloss over the unacceptable behavior of Al Franken, who for the record I personally supported until I learned about the sexual assault.
Yay, so my AVR and 8051 "usermode" code can't read kernel data. Phew!

That's what they used in the US when I was a kid. There are some legitimate-sounding reasons to switch to GDP instead, but I think the real reason was GNP turned negative.
I mean, GDP shouldn't account for debt. GDP is a measure of how much we produce. If people within our borders spend a year building $1tn worth of tanks, then we have produced $1tn of GDP that year. In terms of measuring what we produce, it's irrelevant how much we promised to pay China in the future. (Though of course in terms of predicting our future wellbeing, our promises to China do of course matter.)
Yes, it is literally analogous to choosing points from the set of intersections of lines of integral latitude and longitude, which is not what you want.

That’s true to some extent, but it’s not like open source software is free from security issues. Open source might make it easier to find and fix issues, but it can’t avoid them entirely.

Any diver, snorkeler, or spear fishermen can tell you reef ecosystems are in serious trouble.

And it's certainly not just warming temperatures, it's also acidification, overfishing, destructive fishing with dynamite and cyanide, and overwhelming volumes of plastic and trash in the ocean. It's fairly rare to find a reef that doesn't have garbage embedded in it today.
That article is out of date. As of September 2017, FB has re-licensed React under the MIT open source license and dropped the patent stuff.

I don't think you contradicted anything I said. I would say special camera apps, multi-threading etc. are not needed that often.

As for slower build times, that is the beauty of RN. Building is not needed most of the time just an initial build and a rebuild every time some of the base configurations change or you are creating code outside of RN.
Sweet project, thanks for making it :D
Lobbying Group for Tech Giants Will Intervene in Net Neutrality Lawsuit
For reasons like this I built my own NAS from scratch using a server and ZFS (admittedly using Western Digital red drives). I don’t believe consumer NAS vendors have the capability to properly patch and secure web interfaces and I’d extend this to Synology and QNAP as well.

Additionally NFS and SMB are very complex protocols and difficult to setup correctly. NFS without Kerberos provides only very basic whitelisting security. Adding Kerberos means you need active directory or something like FreeIPA and a scary amount of configuration (DNS server requirements, client side Kerberos config etc). I went down the whole Kerberos route and at the end decided mounting via ssh was far simpler and probably more secure. I would only trust a very technically competent vendor to do this well and don’t know if one exists.
If it is ok to eat less intelligent things then if you know for certain that a particular human doesn't meet the criteria (infants, for instance), why are they exempt? No testing need be performed. We know that the category of "infant humans" is going to have an IQ under your stated limit.

You are not making rational logical arguments. You have started with your preferred conclusion and are employing rationalization to justify it. Every time I show you that your philosophy allows for things you find uncomfortable, you move the goalposts.

Case in point:

>Also, discussing whether or not I would eat a human is silly because I can't go to the supermarket and buy human flesh. So, let's keep this discussion away from meaningless hypotheticals.

This is a copout that means "I am afraid of what my philosophy actually means, so let's just ignore it". You could easily acquire and consume an infant if you wanted. There'd be severe consequences for doing so, of course, but that doesn't mean you can't do it. People do do it. None of that is relevant to the question of whether or not it is morally permissible to do so, now is it?

But you, you're not interested in making sense. You're uncomfortable, so you rationalize. Oh, it's not ok to eat infants even though they're well below my IQ threshold, even though it's completely possible, because they aren't sold in the grocery store!

Please.
They seem to do the following according to their FAQ[1]:

- "We utilize the latest encryption technologies, including a feature known as Perfect Forward Secrecy which goes a step further than traditional SSL by using a unique public key for each individual session"

- "Even server logs are disabled to ensure that any identifiable information your browser may be broadcasting" with requests are never read or stored on our servers.

- "On top of all that we utilize an extra layer of query encryption at the client side in order to ensure that your history remains private from other users who may access your computer"

Yeah, who uses those?

Isn't the knowledge of potential for timing attacks using cache/memory fairly old? I am pretty sure I heard of the concept long ago.
It may be that the only true solution is to replace / re-engineer CPUs with these vulnerabilities expressly in mind, and guarded against.

Until then (and that will probably take a while obviously) it's probably going to be a cat and mouse game. I would expect a lot of patching. Future discoveries probably won't have the luxury of a 6 month coordinate / fixing window.

On top of that this is drawing a lot of attention to a particular area which will likely have a snowball effect as more and more exploits are found more and more will search for them.

Finally, If the mitigation strategy is 'don't let a javascript application be able to accurately know how much time something takes' and for 25 years that has not been a serious fundamental design consideration (quite the opposite to the point that a super accurate one was given freely in the form of `performance.now`). It seems like this is one big messy ball of yarn to untangle.
What is the most active access to the papers in question?

I mean if you solve access for all those the authors hold electronic copy of, are we functional?

I'm unassailable if I the author lend you a copy of my complete work.

Anything less is the removal of my property, being no longer able to dispose of it myself but at mercy another.

I find the last copy left, scan it, and quickly modify my torrent client to create a tracker that remaps either a key to the document or just a obfuscated essential part for reading, such that the file is not copyable in transit, and the tracker first seeks your input when you desire access, and how many people are you reading with, eg lecture reference etc. You control those viewers that read your file or the tracker pointers.

This only limits time, distribution and copying.

A infinite number of ways to artificially restrict reading can be imagined.

But if I lend to anyone obviously a valuable asset without ready replacement (this is making it ridiculous but..) of my life work, letting just you Alice and Bob read my work, I'm not going to be liable in any way whatsoever.

I really wish I could hide under a fold, the expansion of the occasional comment, because I have been in intimate contact with copyright issues, some of consequence, most prosaic, ALL MISUNDERSTOOD BY THE LITIGATION PARTIES

People not on the hard left have been saying this exact thing for years. I guess now that people like Franken are going down due to outrage, the NYT sees value in due process and treating women as responsible adults.

I don’t mean for that statement to be flame-bait, I think it’s the unvarnished truth and I’d be happy to hear opposing views.
I had the impression Apple was under pressure to announce products at their conferences because of their yearly cycle, and since they had not enough material to fill the two hours they announced what they plan to do. They also had to do some damage control and calm the professionals because they completely neglected this segment and had nothing to show.

Surely that’s abstraction rather than indirection?

Maybe you’re using it in a different context than I’m used to but I don’t see anything indirect about “call function that passes it’s result to another that updates the data”.

Sure it’s not “update state directly” but that would make every pattern “indirect” which makes little sense.

What you’re describing would make any MVP, pubsub, or observable system indirect. If so, well, fine - fair enough - but it still makes OPs complaint strange.

Intel didn't burn this card. They got burned. By at least three different groups and an individual all at once.

What to learn from it? One thing's for sure, Intel could cut the BS when faced with bad PR. It comes across as tone-deaf, defensive, and uninspiring.
Mostly hype. Yes, automating drug discovery to any extent is utterly hopeless, and as likely to impact the pharma business any time as autonomous killer robots overrunning the battlefield -- Not In My Lifetime.

But AI definitely has a near term future in addressing well formed questions like specific assays or searching for well-constrained targets, like ligand matches. The trick is for the AI contributor TO LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT THE DAMNED DOMAIN. Unless the chemist/biologist is intimately involved in the task, the AI provider is shooting blind. But with many wise eyes on the ball, even the hardest problems becomes a lot more assailable.

[I say this as someone who processes images and analyzes data within a big pharma, and has seen several grand IT plans fail (like systems biology disease modeling) and many small & specific scientist-assistance tasks succeed.]
I think unemployment is more politically significant. The followup question for anyone reporting a rising GDP is "sure, but what does this do for job growth?"

Flame-bait, because it calls into attention the fact that this feel-good piece is easily seen as applauding a man who deserves no such graces?

Introducing politics into a non-political story, even though a main actor in it is part of an unscrupulous political machine which shouldn't be ignored?

Questionable decisions by you, in my opinion.

No, he wasn't.
The iphone 6+ was not rigid enough to withstand bending during normal use.

The iphone 6s battery could not last more than 18 months of daily use. After that it would not provide a stable voltage, causing the phone to randomly shutdown. The "fix" was sneaking in a permanent throttle at 20, 40, 60% of normal performance to hide the problem.
