I think when you're little, figuring this stuff out helps you figure out yourself. Affiliation helps you build out your identity. Most of us don't have an opinion about everything. The group identity can help you figure out what questions are worth asking and suggest answers.

As you grow, I think you need less and less of it. I still self-identify in ways that I don't actively practice. But more and more I think of my identity as an accident of circumstance populated by an accidental consciousness without much that makes it unique except my particular ordering of vices. I also don't see what making a big show of belonging would buy me now, in a world so completely ambiguous and shaded in grey that it feels like any positive statement can be twisted into some horror and our only refuge is a constant state of agreeable equivocation.

Maybe if enough of us see it this way, we can turn this perspective into a stylistic pre-designation and await an enriching conformity.
The paper says:

"Does this mean that Spanner is a CA system
as defined by CAP? The short answer is “no” technically, but “yes” in effect and its users can and do assume CA.

The purist answer is “no” because partitions can happen and in fact have happened at Google, and during (some) partitions, Spanner chooses C and forfeits A. It is technically a CP system."

which I believe is another way to word what I say in my post above.
Awesome Linux Software List
The article says that it was first posted on Reddit, but nobody noticed for a while. The Github copy is almost certainly a repost, by a different author than the original leak.

"This source code first surfaced last year, posted by a Reddit user called “apple_internals” on the Jailbreak subreddit. That post didn’t get much attention since the user was new and didn’t have enough Reddit karma; the post was quickly buried. Its new availability on GitHub..."
Look at it this way. Elon donated his Tesla to SpaceX the company so that they could make history together. They even lended their test flight to the Ark foundation in order to send a datadisk out into the cosmos much like they did on the Voyager space craft, another incredible moment in human history. They included a plaque with the names of all the people who had worked to make it possible, then they made some cool pop culture references,
and some extra marketing with the spacesuit. Also, it was an idea voted for by the internet. Elon was sitting backseat for the presentation, and let the whole team take the glory.

This was a monumental moment in space travel, and something that will forward the human race ever slightly forward. That is more important than a silly sports car.

Elon reinvested the money he makes each time into companies that will make the world a better place (EV, solar, space flight). Taking huge risks each time.

He isn't building himself a skyscraper in Dubai, he isn't boasting about which new Ferrari he bought on instagram. If you want to see egregious and vain uses of wealth, see a single red carpet show, or a popular music video. Some of those people have single pieces of jewelry worth more than that car.

The car was already made ages ago anyway. If you had an issue with Elon buying (note, partly funding and then building the company that built) a sports car, maybe you should have worried about it then.

PS, I am not a rich geek and I could not afford a car like that. I am just a regular geek.
You saved me the trouble of scrounging for the PDF link in the article, so thank you.

BTW, good job on your blog randomdrake!
The newest copyright on any file is 2015. The source code might be quite old.

(Yes, I realize that a copyright header doesn't actually stay in sync with patches. It's just the only indicator of date there is)
It probably is good enough for me, but I don't see how it's better than the Model 3. It's slower, shorter range, doesn't look as nice (although that's subjective), and more expensive.

I wouldn't turn one down though.

Why? Don't overreact.
I have used Vagrant for a few years and never had an issue. All of my source code is shared/synced on the system drive. I use Go, Python, and lots of Javascript frameworks which are all installed and compiled in Vagrant. It's really nice not having all of the frameworks and compilers installed on my work environment. If I need to run a web server or DB I will either apt-get install it in the current Vagrant VM or create a second VM and configure ports in the Vagrantfile to make sure they can talk. I recently started to use Docker to run those services so my Vagrant environment is quickly just becoming the area where I run the tools associated with code compiling.
How I setup a Network Interceptor using Mitmproxy
I would say it depends, its quite easy to unknowingly depend on non-standard behavior that can break like HashMap iteration order.

What often causes issues is that every release has a new byte code version and the ecosystem relies heavily on byte code libraries so these will have to be updated across the board (eg. you use middleware that uses a framework that uses a byte code library).

Things on the top of my head that can break with Java 9:

- new gc logging options and format

- rt.jar and tools.jar are gone

- new JDK layout

- Corba, XML and Annotation classes no longer visible by default

- application class loader is no longer and URL class loader

- a different hack is required to munmap files

It's not too bad in general.

Practically speaking, yes. But these drivers would never be merged into the mainline kernel as the source code was obtained illegally. Writing a Linux driver from scratch on the basis if this code would still mean huge legal problems for the Linux kernel.
We have been using tinc in our network appliance since 2012, but early 2015 we moved to zerotier because it's so much simpler and versatile.

I've heard that it's not uncommon for blue-water sailors with small machine shops on their boat. One story was about a guy making a new cylinder for the diesel engine on his lathe while being tossed around the cabin in a storm. That's a case where you need it right now and can't order it online :)
If you need to securely connect servers that only have public network, I suggest you give Weave Net a try. It's developed for Docker and also runs on Docker, but the private IPs can be exported to the host machine so you can also use it as a VPN between the hosts. It's super easy to setup and reasonably fast since it uses ESP packets, which are encrypted on the kernel level.
Does this have any real implication for iPhone hacking?
The answer is that it is simply a datum. Data can be results, but you would usually have it as the result of something, an experiment or an equation, etc.

The definition of what "science" is or means, is one of those "mirky" kind of definitions. It depends on who you are talking to and the context in which the discussion is taking place. I have yet to see a universally agreed upon and well defined definition.

People seem to act as though it is one of those "I know it when I see it" kind of things.

You could start with a Popper's definition, yet there are fields in which this definition is not excepted (various theoretical physics areas are some).

Astronomy is an interesting field. There is a whole lot of data that is collected and systematically so. Some of this data is used to support the various theories and models that have been developed over time. Yet, there are quite distinct disputes that have arisen as to what some of the various anomalous data means.

Questions that relate to red-shifts or galactic movements that are too fast, etc.

science has, I think, a number of possible features that data collection and analysis, hypothesis testing, theory and model development. The thing I see across a lot of fields is that there are specific ideas that are accepted by the majority but have difficulties with the various anomalous data points that are found.

How to solve this in the short or long term is not going to be easy, simply because all scientists are people and like all people have biases in what they believe is true. So you get various "experts" in their field having disputes with one another over the "truthieness" of their specific models and theories.

So collecting the data is essential but doesn't necessarily lead to any understanding.
I've discovered that modern appliances are repairable, thanks to the internet. There are people that have been making a business based on supplying parts (for example for made-in-China GE dishwashers) and videos on how to install them.

I think it's more accurate to say that first world labor costs are such that it's not usually worth it to pay someone to fix your devices these days, but it's becoming easier to DIY.

I also fixed an old laptop based on mail order parts and a youtube video. It really gave me a sense of accomplishment because I turned to programming computers very young partly out of ineptness with mechanical devices.

How to Know When a Child’s Flu Turns Serious
I just wanted to throw out for folks this - nest secure does not appear to support fire monitoring via the protect with a Mo tutoring service -

The Nest Protect Smoke & CO sensor does not qualify as a 24 hour monitored fire protection device. This is due to the requirement from Nest that the user must first verify that the Nest protect fire alarm signal is or could be real before the monitoring service will receive the fire alarm signal and dispatch the fire department

--

This was a deal breaker for me using the nest eco system for home security -and- fire protection. Other systems don't suffer from this. It's too bad as I like the tech but it's not bulletproof yet.

The fact that conversations with metal fans about metal are about as interesting as accounting night classes probably has more to do with this than some kind of visceral reaction to how "extreme" metal is or whatever. _Look What You Made Me Do_ is much more musically and artistically offensive than anything Metallica ever did, and I'm including _Reload_ in that.
Julio Nivelo was a convicted felon prior to this crime and deported four times. Four times! Obviously something is broken. Perhaps improving border security isn't such a bad idea?

Well the server was going to return an error anyways, instead of checking if the entity exists then trying to create it, you just go ahead and try to create it. This way if the entity doesn't exist then you've saved a trip to the database. Otherwise you return the same error. And given the server is a black box, how would you "interrupt execution"?
I'm afraid I don't agree, for the same reason that no one would read all that stuff out loud in a normal conversation.

This information is easy to get for anyone who wants it, particularly if someone has posted a link to it. There's no need to inline the content.
Provided that it's true, this could be stopped by just not giving the game access to the microphone (seriously, why would you?!) and removing the game from memory when you finish playing.
Simple PHP class to make Memcache integration a breeze for Google AppEngine apps
We've been able to run Linux on old iPhones for quite a while now, as can be noted from the defunct iDroid project, which managed to successfully port the Linux kernel and Android userspace to the iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, and 4 using OpeniBoot. However, this is quite a nice advancement for those of us in the emulation community.

Disclaimer: I'm working with some other team members on the revival of the iEmu iPhone emulator.

What’s up with the fixation on connecting to 12V? Don’t you need to DISconnect and not the 12V,but the high voltage one?

That’s not a difficult procedure: open the hood (forcefully if need be, latch is in the front), cut the wire in the place marked in bright orange and labeled accordingly - and immediately visible and accessible upon opening the hood.
Yep, this was the answer I was expecting. Basically, I really doubt that event sourcing magically solves this, which is what the above comment claimed [1].

Judgine from this thread, everyone.
The day I heard about Grammarly (saw a Youtube ad). Free to use, I thought to myself, this surely monetizes by analysing all my input in their servers, wherever they are.

It looks like a good product. If they offered a true offline version for desktop with 4+ updates a year, I could see myself paying for it.

The problem with Electron is that I already have a browser on my computer, actually three (FF, IE, Chrome), I don't need more.

Plus it doesn't add anything positive the UI/UX beyond a few devs wanting a .exe instead of an URL, and not having to deal with the quirks of each browser/OS.

I never liked MSHTML, Active Destkop, XUL, and I really don't see why Electron should be treated in any different way, just because learning how to use native APIS or writing an simple abstraction layer is "too complicated".

If devs want to do a web app, do a web app, deal with browser quirks, use web workers, just don't package a browser with it.

When the processor model varies for more recent generations of EC2 instances it is documented here: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/

Scroll down to get to the table that includes Physical Processor, Intel AVX, Intel AVX2, etc.

T2 instances do run on a number of different processor models, therefore it is listed as "Intel Xeon Family." M4 instances run on Intel Xeon E5-2676 v3 (Haswell) or Intel Xeon E5-2686 v4	(Broadwell), though m4.10xlarge only runs on Haswell and m4.16xlarge only runs on Broadwell. Pay close attention to the * in the table for those instances that run on either Haswell or Broadwell.

Generally you will find that the recent generations of EC2 instances for C and R have identical CPUs within a generation.

I have no knowledge about how accurate measurements of mercury are but from this and the article, it seems pretty conclusive that there is a lot of it with potentially very dangerous outcomes. I guess we can add another one to the list of dangers associated with climate change. Also how important funding is for projects.

I just recently read about iron fertilization as a potential tool to fight climate change, can't believe I'd never read about it before. Potential downsides but still very interesting, especially if economical.

I strayed far away from the research side of things back in school, but I wish we had more bold disrupters or shapers in the field.

I dont keep up with the field and Im sure this is extremely naive but just my thoughts.
