And more effective. IIRC, while vitamin deficiencies have been shown to cause problems, vitamin supplements haven't been shown to "fix" that problem [0]. You can't eat food with no nutritional value and then add the vitamins back in...that doesn't work. You need to eat food that has the vitamins to begin with.

You've got good points and I admit I'm split on this issue.

In theory i would rather have everything handled by the package manager but container apps provide a few useful advantages:

- sandboxing/isolation out of the box
- being able to report bugs directly to upstream
- It's easier to distribute a small app to all distributions (for some value of all)*
- much easier to distribute proprietary applications (subjective advantage)
- much easier to install old versions of an application (sometimes needed)
- it's possible to record the bandwidth/ram/cpu usage; with a standard package that's quiet difficult

The performance boost is not about ignoring security, but about ignoring edge case of one particular security check on i386 which ended up being the only critical one for "modern" unix-derived (which for purposes of this discussion includes Windows NT) OSes.

In original x86 protected mode model (ie. real security flags on descriptor level and page protection bits only used for scheduling of paging) this would be non-issue.
That's interesting, I love Baxter's works and characters but finishing Ancillary's first book took me months and was painful. I liked the universe and the themes so I ended up reading the wikipedia summaries of the rest of the serie.
Spectre variant 2 is not fundamental to speculative execution. It can be fixed by tagging the indirect branch predictions with the full virtual address and the ASID, and flushing it together with the TLB.
How many people do you need to persuade to a particular point of view to actually put something like this into effect? If it were staged it would be interest of the state to hush it up rather than admit to a power struggle in the control room.
Probably to reduce exposure to security issues. The more code you ship, the more code you're responsible for keeping secure.

Looking briefly at the list at https://curl.haxx.se/docs/security.html I see issues for FTP (x2), IMAP, and TFTP in 2017 alone. These protocols which are outside of curl's core competency of http are likely to have less scrutiny and more bugs. While FTP shouldn't be removed from curl I don't think a protocol like TFTP or gopher is crucial, and I wouldn't mind too much if it got the axe in a distribution I used
Or war movies, where a round from a tank gun or small artillery piece completely wrecks a house. I have a handful of decommissioned 76mm tank destroyer rounds, probsbly from an M18 Hellcat - comparable to most WW2 tank guns. It's about the size of a one-liter soda bottle, and a significant portion of that is aerodynamic casing, propellant, and fuse.

It's interesting, too, to read historical accounts of sieges in the Napoleonic and earlier eras; it would take days or weeks of pounding by breaching batteries of heavy cannon to reduce masonry walls to effect a breach and allow an assault over the pile of broken rubble remaining, in a bloody, hand-to-hand melee. And often there would be so much time between firings that the defenders could rebuild new defenses in depth behind the breach. Unless a powder magazine was struck, massive damage was relatively rare.
Some problem spaces have boundaries and exceptions.

LBJ was a odd duck. I suggest that you read one of Robert Caro’s Biographies of him.

Erh... sorry.

This is a webpage about "orthomolecuar medicine". This isn't a real thing, it's a quack theory that vitamins are some wonder drug that help against everything. It's been largely discredited.

The evidence for vitamin supplements is extremely clear: Except for some rare circumstances (special deficiencies and illnesses) they are largely a waste of money.
> so can any party you trust

Yes, but the difference is that other parties I trust are subject to external verification and audit. If my bank steals my money, it will soon be discovered, either by me the next time I get my statement and it doesn't match my records, or by the bank auditors the next time they audit the books and discover that they don't balance. By way of contrast, if Apple sneaks a back door into a MacOS update it could easily go unnoticed for years.

Apple trustworthy? Apple initially claimed it was impossible for the company to aid in government data requests, which the press ate up. After the FBI showed that to be a lie, Apple quietly stopped making that claim. (The much ballyhooed phrase "not technically feasible" has magically disappeared from the privacy page.) I know of no other American tech company that has so brazenly lied to its customers without so much as a mea culpa after it was caught out.

I don't understand the premise. If your ISP is not implementing neutrality, then it can prioritize small traffic like pings above large-volume traffic such as downloads or streaming, so response to a ping says nothing about available throughput, just connection quality.

That's trickier than you'd think. You either have to send the warheads one well after the other, or you have to set them up so they detonate at precisely the same time, so as to avoid the first warhead to detonate destroying all the others. (This is why, at one time, missile silos were placed relatively close together. The enemy could presumably get one of them in a preemptive strike, but not all of them.)

At Korea's level of technology, for example, you'd probably just pick a secondary target in some other place entirely.
Its more telling the US PC sales had a decline of 8% in Q4. The PC has gotten 'less' personal and more of a household appliance where you have it next to the printer that everyone in the household can use for special purposes.

> Very few rich individuals pay taxes and file correct income tax return. Government is very much responsible for this as filling a simple itr form consist of many different sections and people avoid getting into official paperwork.

the complexity of the form is not the reason people avoid paying taxes - people don't pay taxes because they can get away with it.
We do a shitty job at educating people, so it’s hard to hire qualified people in many industries.

Try finding a master plumber or electrician. Or a mid level IT person. They don’t exist.

Some procedures are impossible for human beings to follow with high nines levels of accuracy. (Look at attention blindness, for example.) All that is done with harsh punishment in such cases is damage to morale. Or worse, it causes people to think they have "fixed" the problem when they have in fact done no such thing. The solution is to _change the process_ so that it can achieve the desired level of accuracy.

Same here. I live in San Francisco and to the best of my knowledge, Pu-erh seems to be called just that. “Red tea” is not often said, but I would assume it meant rooibos. (BTW — if you haven't tried rooibos, please do. It is delicious.)
I know and have known so many non-convicted people who turn angry, grumpy and sometimes violent when they are even 30 to 60 minutes late eating a meal. One person in particular sticks out. I could easily see how if his diet were suddenly cut of essential vitamins and nutrients he'd most certainly have the same effect without knowing why. In my head I'd equate the results of such a thing happening being even worse because of the compounding frustration and lack of understanding for why coupled with the feeling of not having eaten a proper, hunger satiating meal.
Prisons should be seen as training camps where convicts are re-shaped into good citizens.

I see no proof of this claim.

Some would call me a Protestant Christian. Jesus teaches rehabilitation, mercy, and love even for enemies. Prisons are not "scriptural" or even mentioned under Protestant and Catholic teaching.

Israel had dozens of "Cities of Refuge" in the Old Testament where people who had accentually done something wrong (like killed) someone could run and be protected by the city leaders.

God never commanded prisons or even jails anywhere in the Torah or New Testament.
No I'm not. Imagine the same mistake happening in New York at 9 in the morning on a workday (remind you of anything?), or during some large public event where there was the potential for a stampede - hardly uncommon. Just because you get away with something without serious consequences once doesn't mean it's not problematic.
I was always pretty sure "muscle memory" was a misnomer that actually referred to memory in the cerebellum. The headless chicken thing does put a damper on that theory, though.

On the other hand the PITA-ness probably isn't that much caused by the OS itself but by it's historical security track record and mentality of ops and security teams that is caused by that.
This is useful, but while trying out the bulk extinguisher I stumbled across what may be the one case where it could be undesirable: some sites I follow have switched domains without warning. This went unnoticed before now because the Feedburner URLs redirected to the new sites, but it's possible that had I been subscribed to the direct feed URLs they would have simply broken.
Looks pretty good, there were a few design things that bugged me.

1) Setting your text to evenly space the words across each line makes for a terrible reading experience. Reading on mobile the amount of space between some words was painful.

2) I think this would look better if you aligned your margins on everything. Basically have an overall margin for the page and have everything run up right against it.

3) Get rid of the margin around the grey header on your content boxes and have everything in your content boxes an equal distance from the edge.

4) In two-column mode I'm seeing the left column is much wider than the right column and the content boxes are of differing heights. I think this will look better if you make all the content boxes equally sized.

Actually, I just tested again and now (on my Galaxy S6's landscape mode) it is showing three equal columns that break the page. The header no longer reaches all the way across the screen and the third column abuts the edge of the screen.

6) Align your menu button to the right and your title to the left.

5) In your menu I think your selection outline and your search bar should be the same width with aligned edges.

Some indigenous nations here (Australia) used spearing in the leg as one form of sentence for serious crimes. This is popularly used as a stick with which to beat indigenous Australians for having been 'savage' (thus implicitly deserving of the 'civilising' process comprising land theft, exterminations, rapes, etc).

Yet truly belonging to a community is among the most fundamental of human needs, social beings that we are. And here's the rub: once speared, aboriginal offenders had paid for their crime, and were still fully part of their tribe, with all the requisite privileges and obligations. There were other technical mitigations of the apparent severity of the punishment (eg. the spear head used was specifically designed for the purpose, smooth and covered with antibiotic agents to reduce damage & infection), but more crucially: the punishment was executed within a context that said: "you'll pay for your crime, and it will be a painful price, but you're still one of us".

Employment, for better or worse, is a lynchpin fetish of our current social arrangements, central to full community membership. Denying it is tantamount to community expulsion: a truly savage punishment.

This isn't the 80s any 90s anymore, "technology influencers" have no impact on Apple's business. This is a common trope I see usually when "technology influencers" are mad about some product decision Apple makes. Apple gets more word of mouth from other laymen using iPhones than any "professional" using a Mac Pro.

A recent example of this is Macbook Pro sales rising despite the outcry in nerd circles. Another example was when FCP X dropped and there were countless hot takes about Apple dropping their professional customers and all of them switching to Adobe and Avid.

Or perhaps he is careless and should be not be trusted with such a critical duty.
Interesting article but the author seems trapped in an antiquated “compute time is more expensive than developer time” mindset. For most startups today the EC2 budget is negligible compared to the dev team budget. If you’re successful enough that the compute cost matters that’s a good thing and you can deal with it then.

Optimizing for problems you don’t yet have just keeps you from launching and getting successful enough to actually care about your compute costs.
I was not calling Using Apple stuff irrational. I use an iPhone myself. I was just saying that I still don't "trust" it because Apple can go rogue if they want to and I can't do anything about it. If it was an open source eco system, there would be more eyes on the product that even if I personally don't read the source code entirely, some non-apple person does and Apple would be wary of the public eye.

"Do you closely examine the safety of chemicals.."

No, but they need to list the ingredients, get it certified by authorities, and labs can freely test for the ingredients without the company's input. Software is just not the same as chemicals.

True, trusting FastMail is no different than trusting Apple. I didnt mean to say that FastMail was magically more secure. Just that they have no incentive to sell me out. I could've used any company for this. Just trying to not put all eggs in one basket. It is certainly a better choice than Google which creepily builds a profile of me to make money.

I'm just saying that Aaron in that quote is describing a very old civilizational anti-pattern. Obviously, things are a lot better than they were, especially after the invention of the printing press and the Internet.

> "The processor forwards the data to the Secure Enclave but can’t read it. It’s encrypted and authenticated with a session key that is negotiated using a shared key provisioned for each Touch ID sensor and its corresponding Secure Enclave at the factory."

If I understand this correctly, IF they're using Diffie Hellman key exchange to generate the shared session key for every chip, doesn't this mean Apple also owns the session key for every single iDevice out there and can crack into them if they wanted to?

Does this mean the "security" only protects users from men-in-the-middle, but not from Apple (or NSA if they come after them)?
