The utter powerlessness of not being able to rewind to 9 years ago to be there for my brother gets at me. As does my fear and uncertainty of the life my son will be subjected to.

Everything I know suggests to me these two things are profoundly interrelated and that if you can sort out how it is you did not see your brother's distress and/or did not understand that it had to come from somewhere, you will feel more comfortable as a father.

That isn't a personal attack. I was molested as a child and I knew how to protect my sons from the same. I did not live with the kind of fear as a parent that you describe.

I never seem to know how to say such things properly. When I try to comment on it, it is frequently taken as an accusation and that is not remotely my intent. My hope is to help you find a constructive path forward so you can make your peace with the past and make your way more confidently into the future as a parent.

Best.

I use perdu.com to test my connection and for captive portals.

The website is fast, light (to say the least), always up, the URL is short and there is no valid HTTPS version so no need to type http://.

Overall, I appreciate and respect your thoughts about the relationship between the aspirations of XP, your experiences with XP, and XP-as-a-written-document (c.f. the pointing hand vs the things pointed at). Thank you for sharing them. And so I apologize if the following distracts or detracts from that...

My understanding is that C3 was a failure in every respect (except in terms of the results on the careers of certain evangelists). So I'm curious what you mean when you say "a technical success".

Top 20 Graphic Design Software Solutions of 2018
I can't think of any benefits of this layout other than reducing the size of the landing field you'll need. And I guess less complexity on the part of the rotors, no tail rotor with associated dangers etc.

I can think of some significant downsides though.

1. This is fixed pitch, not collective pitch. That means any change in the attitude of the aircraft requires one or more sets of rotors to change their speed of rotation. This means that you need top notch electronic control systems, gyros etc. to mediate between pilot input and what the aircraft does. These electronic systems are sensitive and fragile and degrade with time. And when they let go, it's spectacular.

2. A loss of any one of the 8 motors is a Jesus Christ, yank the ballistic parachute moment. This is likely a hull-loss event as there will be all sorts of load-bearing parts with the job of absorbing the opening shock of the parachute. These will at minimum require inspection prior to the aircraft being certified airworthy again.

3. related to 2 above, this aircraft has no capacity for autorotation whatsoever. A traditional rotary-wing helicopter with collective pitch can autorotate safely in to a controlled landing in the event of an engine failure. If you lose an engine in this, and your ballistic chute tangles or doesn't deploy properly, you are proper fucked.

It's cool, and quad-copters are fantastic cargo and gp platforms. But I would never fly in one.
The benchmarks on the xxHash Github page were done on a 32-bit system using an old Visual C++ compiler. Of course you can beat hash functions that were explicitly designed for modern 64-bit architectures. The Core 2 lacks the CRC instruction introduced by the SSE 4.2 extension, which is the main reason Google wrote their hashes.
I think tools and toolmakers don't always get the credit they deserve. Tools are the other way of increasing the leverage of a team of developers (the first being increasing the level of the team through knowledge and upskilling). It's sometimes hard to get businesses to see the benefit of building tooling, though, because it seems like a yak-shaving exercise (and can be if it's not scoped correctly).

I think if you have people who are naturally inclined to be toolmakers, and they've got a problem which can be solved in two ways - repetitively, or with tooling - the deciding factor on whether they build a tool or not will be how much autonomy of decision-making they have. Tightly focused "agile" sprints will result in small packets of work, no one of which will be big enough to justify any tool building, so there won't be any space for introspection and planning, and it probably won't happen.

Tooling tends not to evolve from refactoring. It has a similar genesis - seeing repetitive work - but the approach requires a couple more clicks up the abstraction stack to plan out.

does this mean you can collide legitimate certificates on these hosting providers? like someone is hosting www.foo.com can I upload a www.foo.com certificate then it will choose which cert to use based on some random factors. or maybe it only works on names that haven't been uploaded so i can block someone from uploading certificates for a future domain they might want to use.
I'm really hoping that GDPR enforcement is done in a way that is consistent with the intent of the law, and that we don't end up with a repeat of the cookie regulation (the end result of which was merely training users to click through another popup with reading it at all, and no meaningful improvement in general public understanding of what cookies are, and how or why they are used).

The cookie thing was poorly drafted, as a result advice on complying with it was poor, and it became something to be worked around rather than a meaningful improvement on privacy and an understanding for the general public of how and why tracking works. I have higher hopes for the GDPR, although I still think it is too much of a compromise, and worry about what that means for accomplishing its intent.

The reality is: we can make an educated guess. Even though consciousness is not understood, it seems to require complex brain functions.

I think the important part here is making a clear distinction between reactions to noxious stimuli and the actual conscious experience of pain. That is where the discussion is.

The fact that something reacts to noxious stimuli (like amooebas sometimes do) is not a reason enough for moral consideration.

I wonder how the lack of human social interaction will impact the the well being of the ones taken care of.
Yes,I have three kids, and I'm rarely on Facebook because I find it a toxic place.

But I was recently at a wedding, and was prompted to post a few photos up (more to share the photos with the bride/groom in a way that can also be seen by their friends too). It surprised me the number of messages I got saying how people loved seeing pictures of the kids and how they'd grown etc etc.

I don't have time to keep up with a lot of these old friends (many live far away) so I count this as a positive interaction on facebook.
> (0) The obvious: Be sure your program won't attempt to read from or write to a close file.

I can do that in Scala with monadic regions, which only need existentials/rank-2 types.

> (1) Obtain an arbitrary integer `n`. Test once whether it is a valid array index. If the test succeeds, use `n` arbitrarily often as an array index, without any further bounds-checking.
> (2) Obtain three `foo.Index` values `a,b,c`. Test once whether the arrays `foo` and `bar` have the same length. Use `a,b,c` arbitrarily often as values of type `bar.Index`, without any further bounds-checking.

I see no reason these things wouldn't be possible to implement in the language, though one would have to pass around the (phantom) evidence that these things are true to the point where it's used, which is cumbersome and something newer languages fix.

I'm not saying any of this is as easy as it should be, I'm asking how "real" dependent types would be different from what Scala currently has.

> Are those casts safe without runtime checks?

No, we'd make the runtime check at the point of casting. What I mean is: the only way something I'd want to type as an array of length n could ever get into my program is (ultimately, once we flatten out all the arithmetic from e.g. concatenating arrays of length p and q), either a literal array of length n, or a manually checked cast of a dynamic-length array received at runtime.

> In any case, at some point using types for program verification offers diminishing returns. We have to accept the possibility that maybe it's us, not type checkers, who have to verify our programs.

My experience has been that types are more than good enough. My defect rate is much, much lower than it needs to be, lower than I can really justify putting any more work into, and I don't feel like I'm close to the limits of what's possible with types.

I read that in the sense that you don't need very many ("a bunch") of PhDs in a small company. That does not imply that one or a few people of that background might not be useful.

As I said before, thanks to container linux, that's 3 lines in a json config.

I've deployed a handful of servers automatically myself this way, and I'm still a student.

Saving about an order of magnitude in terms of costs, gaining flexibility, and the only additional work is so low that it costs a compsci student half an hour once (aka ~10€ in wages) — there's no reason not to do it.
> I also have much better visibility at junctions on the main road instead of on bicycle lanes that are closer to walls and hedges and have 3 or 4 meters less of buffer between me and incoming cars from the right. I'm also less visible to them.

More anecdata: I take the bike when I can, and I have had motorists run into me a few times.

Every single time has been on dedicated bike roads.

Don't get me wrong -- I have had many, many more near misses on regular roads, but regular roads are built in ways which make it easy to convert impending collisions into near misses. Bike roads tend to not have those margins.

Before dedicated bike roads can be considered a solution, they must be built in ways which make me feel safer when I choose them.

No, bicycles and small scooters (limited to 30kph, allowed on bike lanes) are allowed to overtake on the right.

Which is precisely why right-turning drivers should leave no gap between the car and the curb, to claim their space, as it were.
They should be using an issuing processor (a financial institution that works with Visa or MasterCard) to issue card numbers. Issuing processors can easily generate card numbers programmatically + on the fly.

Yes, the car must yield, which is why the best approach is to wait for a gap in the flow of cyclists, and then go all the way to the curb, leaving no gap.

Of course, bicyclists will just jump the curb, ride on the sidewalk or overtake on the left, because everyone wants to be in front.

>The poker monies was good.

Would you mind sharing round figures? I've always wondered how much pro poker players that don't have endorsements etc. actually manage to scrape away from the game after rake, travel expenses, leaks (pit games), etc.
The response is across the board. Some companies (B2B, larger enterprises) take it very seriously: form a compliance team, dedicate a budget for tools/consultants etc.

Others have a "fuck it" attitude, self-author a 1-page PDF declaring GDPR compliance and documenting the "process", and wait for how the enforcement will pan out in reality.

Most do the absolute bare minimum, hoping to claim "good faith" when (if) shit hits the fan [0].

The funny thing is, the larger enterprises have no idea what data they even have. Or where it is (never mind whether there's PII in it, or if it's compliant, or how to find out). They've acquired smaller companies left and right over the decades, each with their own databases, data shared in the cloud, forgotten backups, archives… A complete mess.

The "discovery cost" for doing things by the book there is significant.

We built some AI-enabled software to help with GDPR discovery (pii-tools.com), and the responses are varied, across the board. It's really interesting to watch the whole field progress and evolve through the imposed chaos.

[0] "Having larger fines is useful but I think fundamentally what I'm saying is it's scaremongering to suggest that we're going to be making early examples of organisations that breach the law or that fining a top whack is going to become the norm.

I'd say no, though it depends on the provider.

Afaict the vulnerability is simply "users can upload arbitrary certs and have the server use them based on SNI", which does have some legitimate use cases (private CA)
Sounds like an interesting story :-)

Have you written about it anywhere, or want to share it here, maybe?
Holy hell. So this is the dumb DNS crap Chrome is doing. I had occasional issues with Chrome suddenly not being able to load anything due to what looked like obvious DNS issues, except they didn't affect anything else and there was no way for me to do anything with it except wait it out. There were moments I thought I'm imagining things.
I haven't seen anything on our internal security mailing lists about this. If it does somehow involve Cloudflare I'd be happy to receive a report directly via HackerOne (https://hackerone.com/cloudflare). Happy to assist.
There are equivalent attacks on both the DNS and HTTP challenges as described in the Baseline Requirements and ACME, and those are expected to be mitigated (and are) by hosting providers. Let's Encrypt isn't bound by the Baseline Requirements to mitigate this for these hosting providers, but is doing so out of a esprit-de-corps while the web figures out how it wants to handle this.

Hosting providers haven't, previously, thought of TLS serving as an individual user service before (though the Baseline Requirements do) and are having to work out the kinks of that.
We sold to one of the mega tech companies a couple of years ago. I'm still at the company as an engineering manager. I haven't decided what I want to do next and there's still some time until my golden handcuffs expire.
There is definitely an issue with crossing over to overtake on the left, which is why the best thing to do is actually to stay behind the car, but leave some distance to the curb, to claim your position in the lane.

That way, there will be no cyclists blocking the car from turning safely, and the driver will only have to yield to pedestrians in the crossing. To put it bluntly, it's because they're idiots.

Sidewinder was certainly not the first AAM to employ CBDR / collision-course guidance.

It was experimented since the late 1940s and early variants of the US Navy's radar-guided Sparrow employed it from 1953 as did the USAF's Hughes Falcon c. 1955. In fact Hughes engineers provided input on the technique to the China Lake Sidewinder team!
> snowflake melts

Its this really nessessary? You could have easily made your point without escalating further...
I think you have the answer already and IANAL but just to add on, in most countries this a matter of PCI compliance that is enforced by the card networks. In most countries it's not a criminal offence to be PCI non-compliant (but you could be liable for civil suits and fines by the card schemes).

I imagine there's a clause in the PCI compliance rules that allows raw card numbers to be sent less securely if they are virtual + single use card numbers or maybe if the liability of fraud on those card numbers doesn't fall on the "original" card holders.

Advertisers don't want the attention of people that can't pay for things.

People rich enough to pay for things are essentially subsidizing everyone else in the ad model with an irritating ad middleman. Subsidizing is fine, but let's be explicit about it with a library instead and avoid these gross privacy invasions.
That is one of the things that annoy me most about new bike lanes. Why do they put them on the left side of left turn lanes!?? Look, we have had lanes for traffic like a century now. It shouldn't be hard. They just have ti do what they always did!

(Also the stupid unsafe cycling advice of staying to the left. Take the lane and take the correct lane, please.)
The featured image looks incredible.
Couldn't agree more.

Now people will have to start delivering value instead of clicks and content will be worth what it's worth rather than the advertising leverage.

This should remove a lot of pointless mind consuming junk as economically not viable.
No, the point is that there are all kinds of negative stimuli that are not actually painful.
No, need to apologize.

When you say "Seems like my guess was right, though!" are you saying that there is some way that Cloudflare is involved?
