Good idea, added it to the potential apps wiki page [0] (feel free to add more apps!).

The upcoming Matrix client for the open and recently funded Librem 5 phone[1] also looks promising. It will be one interface for doing both regular calls, and calls over the encrypted Matrix protocol over network. In theory we should be able to package that as well, since Librem 5 just runs on a Debian derivative.

This seems like a huge opportunity for Hulu or whatever service the 21Fox/Disney deal leads to. HBO has long proven that there is tremendous value in originals, but having a really broad base of legacy content seems like it could attract a ton of people who don't place the same value on new shows.
But it does resolve to a local address. The point of rbndr is that it switches between resolving to a remote address and to a local address, which is an entirely legitimate thing - https://owa.example.com for most companies will do exactly this when you move between the corporate network and the public internet.

Sasha's experience running Postgres under Kubernetes started before StatefulSets were a thing, back in the days of PetSets. At the time of his tech diligence the best option appeared to be pg/stolon https://github.com/sorintlab/stolon. The gist of the interview is that there are many more edge cases with HA Postgres + leader election than you can reasonably imagine at first glance.

Our experience building and running 24x7x365 HA Kubernetes clusters for clients is almost exclusively in air-gapped or on-premise environments where EBS (or even an IOPS QoS guarantee) does not exist. Most SaaS and managed service provider teams we encounter would much prefer to leverage a cloud provider's primitives than DIY.
I’m confused by your comment, because it doesn’t seem like we’re disagreeing. The end result of Grover’s algorithm is that a 2^N keyspace can be searched in a worst case of 2^N/2 steps instead of 2^N steps. So yes, it does halve the number of items to be searched.
How about caching a DNS result for the duration of a tab? Doesn't solve everything but probably good enough. I don't think it'd break many things (sure it may affect some round robin DNS things for long-open pages that are Ajax'ing back home frequently, but that should be minimal)
>How does consciousness emerge out of nerve cells? Well, it doesn’t. You’re not dealing with the brain alone.

I'm not sure that this gives any real insight. Perhaps some other types of cells in the body are also involved in creating consciousness, but then the question is "How does consciousness emerge out of cells?".

Saying the brain is "just a computer" understates the complexity of computers with arbitrary software. Just because the brain (and any other cells involved) isn't implemented as a simple Turing machine, it doesn't follow that it does anything that couldn't be alternatively implemented using a simple Turing machine.

Regarding case-insensitivity, I'm not referring to user picked names, I'm referring to the whole language.

Is it ForEach, Foreach, foreach, or ForEach-Object? Official documentation[1][2][3][4][5] has all four variations. Same for True/False, While, Write-Output, etc. Everything is case-insensitive and the docs can't decide which to use. Again, it kind of makes sense for a shell language when your users are used to case-insensitivity, but I much prefer stricter consistency in programming languages.

If you want to do that, just do a normal cryptographic signature thing - have the website sign requests with a private key that's kept by Blizzard, and have clients check that requests are signed.

(It sounds like that's not what's happening here because the patch checks for browser EXE names and refuses connections from them, but I'm not quite sure.)

See, I had a different thought here. If anything, mining new bitcoins reduces the value of current ones. Correct me if I'm wrong, but what's keeping the bubble from bursting is more dollars coming in - big miners aren't doing that, they don't buy their BTC.

Unlike a clueless average Joe at home, they're running huge businesses, as this article suggests, so they're probably smarter. Does anyone know what the math here is? I'm assuming a) they aren't cashing out too much/too regularly because they're huge and this would drop the price too much and b) they aren't stupid to make huge investments like this, just hoping all would be well.

Where am I wrong? Is the number of fresh "investors" still big enough for all of them to have a steady cashflow? Do they believe they can get out before everyone else? Are they just like all other believers, but with deeper pockets?
Thank you for explaining so clearly why I dislike people doing that. I feel the same way about correcting spelling mistakes too.
I like to look beyond to other languages, like Idris, ATS, Sixten, F*, Lean, Koka, etc. Rust has many clunky parts that become more obvious through use, even though it is still my goto language. I find often the most zealous folks are those who come from scripting language or Java/C#-ish backgrounds, and have not yet delved further into the possibilities of static types and higher order abstractions.

Tip for people buying on Coinbase: you can avoid their fee entirely by using GDAX. Deposit the money into your USD wallet first (no cost), then transfer the money to GDAX (no cost), and place a limit order (no cost). You may need to babysit your limit order for a couple minutes but this trick saves you $15 for every $1000 you buy.

I think there is little reason not to do this unless 1) you value your time very highly or 2) you can't be bothered. I honestly think most of Coinbase's revenue comes from people in the latter group.

We've never seen a new internet technology this big before, and no organization is powerful enough to put the ICO genie back in the bottle.

What we need is a framework for users so that they can make informed decisions about what to invest in. And we need laws that make it completely legal.

Wall Street is the 1%'s point of control over the 99% and it's going down hard. Their power seemed strong in the old world but is absolutely meaningless in the face of a large scale citizen uprising.

Except when you're not sure what the word is pronounced like. The more obscure word, the easier just to switch to the native pronounciation and hope that it's more comprehensible to the audience than the inevitably botched "correct" version.

This may apply to English more than other languages - in some languages it's pretty easy to guess how to pronounce complicated words after seeing them in writing.

I’d tend to agree, from a sort of “Prime Directive” direction. We’re not so good at guessing really global, long term consequences in unfamiliar systems. We would have to be so sure before introducing life on a distant world. What if there was already very simple life just getting started? We could reduce universal biodiversity with the best of intentions.

Agreed. Not that lost ago, there was a post about how a BitTorrent client had a similar issue. Just like in that case, the real vulnerability was in browsers. I wonder how many programs are going to be discovered to be “vulnerable” before people realize that they are missing the point.
Yes. This same thing can be used to attack web crawlers: you can cajole the crawler into making web requests to localhost or private networks.
Yes. In the 60s the United States Department of Defense bought most of the output of all semiconductor manufacture. I found a reference [1] that claims the DoD purchased 70% of the industry output in 1965.

I was flying once with the then-head of CNN in Russia who married a Russian woman.

She was from such a super cold region and they visited her family several times, also during winter. He mentioned that no matter the temperature, they always had boiling hot water in taps and that, looking at the state of the pulling and overall heating centrals, he never understood how they managed this.
This boiling hot water extravagance in these cold coats was something a Russian from Moscow also find le about, so it is probably a thing.
Nothing. This is all specialized silicon which is totally worthless for anything except mining Bitcoin. It's all going in the dumpster when the price crashes.

> I believe that it applies to all web browsers

It does not apply to late versions of Presto, where there was similar treatment of requests to various special-use addresses (after hostname resolution, if applicable) as to requests that result in TLS failures.

I believe, though it's been years since I dealt with this, that this caused various enterprise sites to stop working, many of which assumed they could access intranet hosts (which resolved to private IPs) from remotely hosted websites.
It depends on your goals, if you want a deep understandigyou must learn ho CLR works:

Anyway, if you have specific needs, the knowledge needed may vary.
For LOB applications (IMHO) very often performance issue have to be searched in I/O (RDMS / WebServices / RPC), these times in all depends a lot on query tuning, optimization of data transfer via specific binary protocols etc... so C# internals not come to an help (even if i think that knowing it may be really precious).

If you are facing applications with numerical analysis and/or greedy algorithm you could give a look at stackalloc/unsafe programming.

Most phones consist of similar chips, so as long as the Linux kernel has support for these, it is possible to run something like postmarketOS on closed devices as well.

It is harder, sometimes you need to hack the bootloader to get it done (or kexec-boot from the proprietary kernel like done on the PS4, get creative), but this has been done enough times for various devices. So with enough manpower and dedication at least booting a Linux-based OS is possible (not saying that you will be able to use all the hardware).

PowerShell was designed to provide a very wide dynamic range of capabilities from interactive actions to simple ad hoc scripts to more formal programming. The goal was to have a single tool that admins and programmers could share to create and manage systems where they could pick how formal they needed to be to solve the problem at hand and can simply modify (vs replace) it as the solution need to be by more people or more production scenarios.

Because the closure itself contains a reference either to the struct or to its fields. That's the second path, and it can be invalidated by the first path either a) freeing the struct or b) changing its "shape" in memory (resizing a `Vec`, changing enum variants, etc.)

You can alternatively move the struct or its fields into the closure, but then you lose the first path. I know you're not doing that because if you were you wouldn't be having lifetime problems (and you wouldn't be able to share the state across event handlers, so it's not a great solution anyway).

I think I'm just echoing rb808's comment, below, who is more informative than I can be, but I originally thought to comment only that my impression without any kubernetes experience is that the likelihood is, based upon my impressions of the article alone, is that in all probability this article is recording a attempt to coerce the inappropriate solution to deliver a much more difficult to achieve result than at least the scope of the article indicates is appreciated.

I could have just said that even knowing nothing much beyond cursory reading about kubernetes, the article comes across as a excercise in attaining disappointment thru hurried assumptions about what constitutes both a silver bullet and the daemon to be dispatched from unruliness.

The part that is disconcerting is the introduction to the article as a interview with the CTO, but it only takes a turn for the worse almost immediately by admitting to I'm production deployment of the solution, to which the subsequent admission to encountered difficulties is not compounding the sin do much as burying this entire excercise beneath condemnation, if I simply put down the impression conveyed. This has to be at the very least terrible PR. I'm increasingly concerned too, about the abundance of misapprehension of not only the capabilities of file systems but just fundamental design constraints, at s level of understanding that I would have expected to be fired for from a operations position in any of my customers. Have I missed the redeeming features in my haste to comment? It just feels so imbalanced and insecure to be so forthright about the level of accomplishment that's claimed.

The point about cyber attack is a good example - in the real world, it is decidely non-tech companies and government institutions that suffer the most harmful cyber attacks.
