That's correct -- we at Joyent had no advanced disclosure. That we have our own operating system (SmartOS) that also serves as the hypervisor in our own public cloud (and that Intel knew and knows all of this) really did/does leave us in a uniquely terrible position. While we have made excellent progress on KIPT for SmartOS/illumos, it is also true that this is very delicate work in the core of the system; that we are forced to do this while vulnerable belies any notion that this was responsible disclosure.
In my experience, that "credit" is really just a promotion for some other service they're pushing. Now all the ones I could get are for prime pantry, which I'm never going to use.

Posted the link to the Bruce Schneier abstract instead of the actual paper [1] because it's behind a paywall. There are a couple of links to an older version of the same article and a similar article at the bottom of the linked post.

My source was mostly my lawyer consultations. I tried to find online sources, I think this link is good: https://www.tnvisabulletin.com/nafta-tn-visa-engineer

Under Nafta, programmer or coder is not an approved listed profession. Engineer is. It does not list the sub-category of Engineer, so Software Engineer is normally included. To qualify as an engineer you need to meet the accredited requirements, which are either an engineering license, an engineering degree or a minimum 3 year bachelor's degree. As stated in the linked article, the INS is sometimes more strict, and only accepts licensed engineers or engineering bachelors, even though that can be contested.

Now if you read this link: https://www.tnvisabulletin.com/nafta-tn-blog/2016/7/14/2016/...

You see it specifies that the USCBP considers a job role where the majority of the work involves coding does not qualify as a software engineering role. That would be a computer programmer role instead, which is not approved for TN work permits.

If you look at OOH, they distinguish between computer programmer and software developer. The latter role description is what Software Engineer role should also be like, I couldn't find a source, and OOH doesn't list software engineer, but it matches up with what I was told by lawyers.

Right, and also because modern RAM is essentially a block device. You just can’t access individual bytes anymore. E.g. on a typical modern PC with a dual-channel DDR, the block size is 128 bits = 16 bytes.

Just as an alternative point of view, they're debasing and ridiculing the term, whereas you're helping to inflate its importance by trying to keep it a taboo.

Common mistakes:

1. Over-focusing on technologies, rather than skills. (https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/01/18/worst-resume/)

2. Leaving out organizational context, project context. Why did you do that? Why should I care?

3. Leaving out outcomes. Don't just tell me what you did, tell me how awesome the results were!

So like "I wrote some software for the X project at company Y." Leaving out what company Y does, what the X project is, the fact that you worked alone on a really tight deadline and ended saving the company massive amounts of money.
I take issue with the basic premise. I don't think people are more creative than others at all; rather I believe that people exercise/express their creativity more than others. It's the difference between being dealt a card and choosing it for yourself.

More like "How Slack Thinks It Stays Secure..."

A sophisticated attack against Slack would be for the purpose of maintaining long-term access to chat data. There's no reason to believe Slack would ever be able to detect someone exfiltrating chat logs. They might catch some attacks but customers can not rightly expect that that their privacy is being maintained. Data being stolen is more likely than not.

Slack chat should be treated like semi-public communication, with the expectation that it will all end up in a torrent file at some point.

The idea that you can "secure" unencrypted text chats using a Security Team with Executive Leadership is pure theater. If Slack took security seriously it would utilize end-to-end encryption.
I just want to point out that, in my experience, "alternate theories of gravity" and especially those derived from a kinetic basis, tend to be a field that's extremely ripe with crackpots and pseudo-scientists. This is because what tends to happen is - people take some simple math, low-level enough that they can comprehend it, and apply it to this very intricate reality, hoping to strike gold somehow. The kinetic model is simple enough, and understood well enough that you could use math that's accessible even to those who are not actual scientists. Of course, it's never worked. It's a very, very common scenario.

Be careful.

Lulu supermarket may not be well known enough to enjoy that kind of protection.

Kölsch is actually a weird one. It's true that Kölsch is an ale and Kölsch yeast is a top-fermenting ale yeast, however the style also calls for lagering the beer at cooler temperatures at the end of fermentation, which is the same process that all true lagers undergo. This is why Kölsch has a clean lager-like taste, and is often mistaken or debated as a lager.

See also: California Common / Steam Beer, which is sort of the opposite case (lager yeast fermented at ale temps)
The last bullet point can be taken too far. Model UN, high school, sure. But e.g. if you had a different career before programming, many of those skills will translate. Probably want to highlight the ways in which that is the case, but omitting them can be leaving some of the ways in which you can be valuable even as a beginning programmer.
The install page says that `sudo configure.sh -install` is the install command. The command is actually `sudo ./configure.sh -install`. Further, it should probably be `sudo ./configure.sh --install` (with two hyphens), as is convention for named (edit: long-form) options on the command line.
Did I miss something? I thought from the title of the article mentioning WHERE the campus would be built would be a fairly important detail to include.
When the native firewall in Windows blocks something, doesn't the connection attempt fail immediately?

For example while the Little Snitch popup dialog is waiting for user input the affected application just sees an unusual latency spike and it will not complain immediately that internet access in not available. Afaik, this is not the case with the Windows Firewall: The connection will fail for the application while the frontend-app is still waiting for the user's decision.

Nix can already encompass stack/cabal, cargo, pip, gem, and npm in a single system. I never need to use 'npm install', 'cabal install' or virtualenv/pip anymore. Nix does it all for me. So if your concern is that you have too many package management systems already, take another look at Nix, as it can probably replace them all.

(Except for the App Store... no way to manage App Store apps with Nix.)

All jokes aside, Terry is writing to an audience where this is utterly elementary. The phrase "it is well known" is seldom misused. Yes, anyone who knows anything about the Fourier transform will know the Gaussian is a fixed point, or can easily verify it for themselves. It would actually look very amateurish if Terry provided a citation for that. In fact, it would look borderline cranky. Most of the cranky "proofs" of the RH begin by dedicating a whole section or two to elementary results, such as analytic continuation, followed by three or four sections of misunderstandings or utter gibberish.
> Some ideas were more creative than others. For the sock, one participant suggested using it to warm your feet—the common use for a sock—while another participant suggested using it as a water filtration system.

> We also ranked their ideas for originality: Common uses received lower scores (using a sock to warm your feet), while uncommon uses received higher scores (using a sock as a water filtration system).

> Overall, people with stronger connections came up with better ideas.

The only objective measure used here is the originality rank. Just because an idea is "original" doesn't mean it is "creative". At least not in a useful way. What if I suggested using a sock to wash your car? Probably an "original" idea. So maybe they ranked it as less creative, even though it is original?

Of course this is just a contrived example, but it seems to me like this is an area that could introduce bias pretty easily.
The idea that anyone could think of Slack as a "secure" communications platform is laughable. There's security and then there's security theatre.

Most mental jobs are like this? Programming is notoriously difficult for people without the right mindset, and the right mindset is difficult to teach. During my degree I've met many people who've worked really hard, much harder than I did, and some of them quite smart - but just couldn't learn to write good code. They've eventually switched degrees or dropped out, because there's only so long you can try something for when you obviously aren't achieving much.

Making "legitimate" purchases on Amazon gets more difficult every day. The obvious solution is to buy directly from brands, but I keep using Amazon because it's less risky than spreading personal and credit card details across many sites. There's also Amazon prime... Hopefully better e-commerce solutions can eventually take over this trust, and more brands choose to sell direct. This would really help with the growing counterfeit problem.

One-time-use credit card numbers also help. I used this feature all the time when Discover offered it, but unfortunately they stopped. Now companies like privacy.com now offer it as a service, but adoption is probably slowed down by needing to trade-off rewards for privacy.

It's yet another reason why I hope cryptocurrencies succeed. In the future I want to pay for anything without the seller having access to my personal information. Even if you trust the merchant, it's too tempting for thieves.

Maybe someday someone will also solve the issue around shipping details. Like a DNS for shipping addresses. That would be awesome.

If someone takes a pallet of hundreds sitting in the open on the back of the truck, and it doesn't belong to them, it still meets the legal definition of theft. It might not be the best idea to leave it there, but that doesn't magically absolve the thief of legal responsibility.

This example isn't even one of those murky ethical grey areas around property (see: copyright law extensions, squatters' rights, medieval concepts of hunting rights, privatization of public resources, farmers' rights to re-grow seeds, etc.) - it's out-and-out theft.

I believe by default incoming connections are "on hold" until they either timeout or the dialog is confirmed one way or the other. Note that most "real" firewalls have two different options for blocking: drop or reject. So long as the packet isn't rejected, drop and "drop unless this dialog is satisfied" aren't very different.

There's an analogy I like to use... you're baking bread. Bread is just flour, water, yeast, and salt, plus maybe decoration ingredients. You mix things in the correct proportions, let it rise, bake at the right temp/time, and you get bread. Easy, right? Then someone wants you to put in raisins. "It should be easy! It's just a handful of raisins, I don't see why you're telling me it can't be done!", they shout, five minutes before the oven timer goes off.

Scrum is, at heart, designed precisely to stop the behavior you're demanding - that is, the endless stream of "small" interruptions and constantly shifting priorities. The raisins.

Why are you trying to "shoe horn in work" for this iteration that you weren't aware was even an issue when the iteration planning happened? Is production down? Is it a hair-on-fire emergency that threatens the business? Or is it just "important". FUCK important. If it's so important, put it in the story backlog and have it done in the next iteration.

If it's important enough to disrupt the iteration, it's important enough to cancel the iteration, toss all that iteration's unfinished work onto the backlog, and start over. That's how Scrum is supposed to work, but never does, because someone wants raisins at the last minute and thinks it's not a big deal.
