No, new features don't usually get backported to the stable branch.

It will ship with 1.13.9 (mainline) in 6 hours (at the time of writing).

For stable branch, you need to wait until the 1.13 milestone is completed, which according to their roadmap (https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/milestone/1.13) will be completed in 8 weeks.
To the dead comment ... ”audiophile, what does that even mean?”

(A) reviewer explains the calibrated mic and room EQ tooling, considerably more obsessively than a typical consumer review, followed by a shockingly flat response performance from the speaker, coupled with equally unusual room EQ and psychoacoustic loudness modeling, any one of which would generally be considered audiophile features, and (B) why is 2 x balanced XLR superior to lossless digital from a digital source when it supports FLAC for instance, also considered an audiophile feature?

The United States doesn't conscript soldiers and yet can find hundreds of thousands of infantry soldiers to wage war.

I don't think it's controversial to say that there's way more going on behind the effort to staff an army than threat of punishment from the government. Historically there are many examples of citizens eager to line up and fight for their country (whether for pragmatic or idealistic reasons). This isn't just patriotic rhetoric, it's a very powerful social force once set in motion.

If our species has any enduring trait then violent conflict through war must be pretty close to the top of the list.
I've recently spent more time using H2O over nginx, mainly because of its more complete support of HTTP 2 (push, cache-aware push, ..) but also out of the box support for brotli compression and mruby (think lua landscape for nginx). Even though nginx made it easier to build and ship third party modules separately, I feel like the module community (as well as distro maintainers/packagers) haven't followed suit. There's obviously pre-baked packages like openresty which has lua world, but then there's no brotli.
I've done it a few times, it's long enough for me that I usually stay in Brussels and get an early train out in the morning.

Some things I've learned about code quality in organizations where the quality is terrible:

1. The problem starts with culture. These organizations are run top-down by people who don't understand coding. Sometimes they are ex-engineers, but that's usually about as good as non-engineer.

2. These organizations are systemically incapable of determining good work from bad. Who on the team is performing and who isn't? They can't tell. They will usually default to seniority (meaning how long a developer has been with an org, not how good they are).

3. These organizations reward fires that are put out. They do not reward fires that were prevented from happening in the first place. Those "senior" developers will frequently be rewarded for putting out fires they caused.

4. If you do a lot of work that prevents fires and that means you weren't working on features or bugfixes, you are going to get punished, not rewarded because to the people above you it looked like you were doing nothing.

5. If you're going to do this kind of work, you need serious intrinsic motivation.

The politician pushing this is the Home Secretary Amber Rudd, who is notorious even among UK politicians for her shaky grasp of technical matters. Anyone unfamiliar with her previous work is advised to Google "Amber Rudd encryption".

Yeah, it's wrong to deny cryptocurrencies have utility. They do.

The real problem is the associated upkeep. If it were to get comparable in use with fiat, I believe Bitcoin would quite literally cook us all on this planet. The energy characteristics of crypto are unbounded from top, and this is seen as a feature - unlike normal financial systems, which try to minimize it.

I use Codility for code screening: https://www.codility.com/

In most of the Europe take home exams are common during the interview process, but your online test should be 1h (at most 2h). If you make it longer, very few ppl will invest that much time in competitive job market such as software engineering.

Take home tests are way harder in the hottest market such as San Francisco Bay Area. A lot of candidates will simply drop out of your pipeline if you send them. IMO there are good for fresh grads, junior candidates or candidates that would you otherwise reject in resume screening. There are hidden gems, often in underrepresented minority that simple don't have anything impressive on their resume yet. Being able to identify them can be your competitive advantage.

I love that. Chalmers himself (or maybe Searle?) once suggested this very thing about Dennett. Made me laugh out loud when I read it.

In all seriousness I wonder if Dennett hates consciousness (the “hard” kind) because it threatens his worldview. He seems like the sort of person who finds it impossible to say “I don’t know.”
If you take a look at word embeddings, image embeddings and other kinds of embeddings (such as those used for music recommendation) you will see how a rich space of nuanced meanings can emerge from what is basically a form of data compression. We're observing this higher order representation space - and right there is "what it's like to be" in that experience.

Qualia is an embedding of sensations into a "sensation space". Being aware of qualia is just evaluating sensations with report to future actions, goals and desires - basically adding emotion on top of perception. Emotion emerges from the utility of the current state of your experience, utility is related to rewards, rewards are controlled by genetics, and genetics have a single goal - replication. That's how qualia bootstraps into reality - it supports actions that protect self replication of genes, and genes support the development of a brain that can have qualia in the first place.
I'm Joseph Benguira, Founder & CTO of AppDrag Cloud CMS & Cloud Backend

I started to work on Splitter after a friend and bussiness partner, Maxime Seligman, challenged me to produce very quickly an A/B testing tool that he will be able to present to a big public webmarketing event : 12th Annual MEGAComm Conference on Feb 15 2018.

This was the perfect occasion to test real-time technologies like AWS IOT with MQTT and prototype all of that very quickly in AppDrag Cloud Backend.
I consider this as an experiment and a side project and a complementary tool for AppDrag users but also for anyone wanting to do A/B testing for free.

I intend to keep it free, active and maintained as a side project for AppDrag, so feel free to use it and to give us your feedback

Hm. Not sure I'm on boat with this one - I have to deal with pictures of rather... questionable quality every now and then, but I don't get the mental jump from "bad pictures are taken with smartphones" to "campaign against smartphones!".

I've seen very bad pictures taken with absolutely great DLSRs. For people like me, I'd guess the problem there are the differing standards of the person taking the picture and whoever then is supposed to use it (say, e.g. in a local sports club's website). You're not fixing bad photography with more pricy hardware.

This is why advice can still be useful, but you need to understand that every piece of advice only works for some kids, and not all. You still need to find what works for you, but it may help to have some idea of what the options are.
I can't agree more. This is an excellent observation.
Also, that last sentence. Bravo. I think this is the best allegory for conflict (or war) that I have ever seen.
funnily enough, sometimes the cardboard box is cheaper than buying the digital download.

I agree with the general point of the article: that getting in and out of most London airport terminals is becoming hellish enough that trains would be a preferable replacement up to 4-5hrs of journey time.

It doesn't have to be that way, though. And I'm not sure that would work for Frankfurt, for example. With only hand luggage it is still possible to arrive at Heathrow's T2 for Lufthansa within an hour of take-off time, and when arriving you can be on the tube within 20 mins of landing. The lower-priced Eurowings flights also use the same terminal. If all airports were as well run as T2 the trains wouldn't get a look in.

Alternatively, this technology will ban loads of things that aren't extremist material.

To be honest I actually think if you just look at metadata (IPs, locations, services, usernames, previous uploads, titles, etc.) you can probably get the percentages they are talking about, at least until people start marking up the extremist material in different ways. The article even says they don't want to say how the technology works which implies it'll be trivial to get around.
Spreadsheets Trend – Less Formulas, More On-Stage Analyzing
I must be missing something obvious here. Why can’t skype just hard code the locations and hashes of the dll files it needs to load? Why is Skype loading random DLLs from user accessible folders? I must be misunderstanding how Windows programs use DLLs and why it needs to just search for them.

Edit: @jwilk in the comments here pointed to a better article about the security vulnerability [1]. Based on the technical details, there seems to be no reason why Microsoft could not issue a very quick fix loading the DLL from the secure location.

Important quote in my eyes:

“The engineers provided me with an update on this case. They've reviewed the code and were able to reproduce the issue, but have determined that the fix will be implemented in a newer version of the product rather than a security update. The team is planning on shipping a newer version of the client, and this current version will slowly be deprecated. The installer would need a large code revision to prevent DLL injection, but all resources have been put toward development of the new client.”

In other words, it seems Microsoft/Skype doesn’t care about security at all. A couple of lines to fix the bug, in theory, but Microsoft is too busy to do it. Doesn’t make sense, unless a new version would have been released shortly, but it has been 4 months between that email and disclosure.

But no-one wants to take the risk, so we take the much bigger risk of leaving it in place.

Absolutely unethical.

1) Opining aside, you are agreeing with my point. He is not being charged with molesting/raping two women.

2) I have read the entire allegation and accordant police reports, på svenska, in the allegers own words. Våldtäkt directly and literally translates to rape, yes. Know of any examples where direct and literal translations don't work? ... You have not understood my point and answered another. His alleged behaviour is described as sexual misconduct for english speakers the world over. This point is brought up many times in this thread and whenever the case is discussed, it's equally disingenuous each time its wilfully conflated.

3-5) I have directly addressed the fallacious use of the word "conspiracy" in this context. I have shown explicit objective facts, including those detailed in this threads article, to articulated a highly unspeculative pattern of behaviour with deep historical precedent and blatant irregularities. You have dismissed that without addressing any of the content or fact and proffered a verifiably untrue assertion in return.

The law itself was written by someone unaware of that. A lot of interpretations:

1. The most extreme, go back to all of your backups and delete them too.

2. You don't need to do anything, if you do not touch the backups and truly treat them for disaster recovery.

3. Your backups need to have reasonable retention (e.g. two year) and way to apply post requests after recovery.

4. A lot of in between.

5. My personal interpretation is that in first year of GDPR there will be so many companies that are not even trying to be compliant. Any companies showing any reasonable efforts will be just left alone and at worst heard some recommendations. Of course ad-tracking companies might get screwed, but their business model seems to be incompatible with GDPR.

Also right to erasure can be tricky (e.g. what if you keep records for support/warranty purpose). What you should do if someone exercise their right to be forgotten and than ask you for refund.
I personally strongly recommend sending your kid to a daycare up to 3 days a week starting when they're about 6 months old. I've heard that before 6 months, it can be stressful, but after 6 months, they can get very attached to only the people they know, and not accept anyone else anymore, which can be a problem with babysitters, family, play dates, etc.

So get them used to meeting other kids at an early age. It's great for their social development. Of course individual kids may vary, but it's a good thing to keep in mind.
Low-Cost International Call Rates You Wouldn't Expect
This is not exhaustive but it is what comes to mind.

* Paper still required for most proof of identity/address etc. Particularly annoying almost all providers are pushing customers to move to online statements but then opening any new accounts still require paper

* Wet signatures still considered king/stronger than other forms of identification. This has caused me issues as I barely ever need to sign and hence my signature is never consistent!

* Took 5 weeks to open an everyday account upon arrival. Seems pretty standard for all ex pats I've talked to. If you are a UK local maybe you've never experienced this?

* Slow to list pending transactions although based on other posts here I may be an outlier in this experience. I assume the new digital banks (Monzo etc) have improved this significantly

* Having to specify that you want a contactless debit/credit card - do people really not want contactless cards? You can always just not use that function...

* All the banking apps I've seen over here are terrible, unfortunately didn't get to try out any of the new digital banks. I assume CBA is probably still the king for mobile banking capabilities

* When I first arrived there was no Android Pay or Apple Pay, but thankfully that did come in around mid to late 2016

EDIT: I also signed up to use PayM but never came across a single person that I needed to transfer money to/receive from that actually had PayM
The firms that HIPAA scares away aren't necessarily going to be the ones that have the most dubious security practices.

As the other commenter mentioned, the alt-right is to some extent an advocacy for white supremacy and white nationalism. It comfortably falls into the spectrum of the identity politics, as well supporting authoritarian strategies (nationalist border and trade policies).

Ben Shapiro is mostly a classical liberal with personal conservative beliefs. Anti-authoritarian, focus on individual identities and universal policy.
What if consciousness is just the evolution of our brain to reflect post-hoc at ultra high speed? Consider when it said to ‘lose our mind’, meaning an interruption to the high speed reflection? Procrastinating could also be thought of as conscious reflection in a loop. The desire is to arrive at a decision for optimal action.
Jóhann Jóhannsson Dies at 48
If you ever get to go to to the south-west of Belgium and visit Ypres, there is an absolutely fantastic exhibit on the Great War in the Cloth Hall. The first part of it describes the late 1800s extreme nationalism and build-up to the war with very harrowing finality and a sense that the ball that caused the war had started rolling decades before its outbreak and was unstoppable by the turn of the century. I had a genuine sense of helplessness in the face of that as I finished that stage of the exhibit and went into the part regarding the period of the war itself.

It is probably one of the most memorable (in the literal sense of the term) exhibits regarding the War that I've seen. I absolutely recommend it.
I like cars, and in particular I like GM's electric vehicle program and technology.

So it was strange to me that the Detroit Auto Show came and went I was blow away that GM (or Chrysler or Ford) didn't announce any new EVs or even promote their existing EVs there -- despite GM having stated recently they intend on launching at least a dozen new plugins before 2020. All the big 3 showed at the Detroit show were tacky muscle ICE cars and big boring trucks.

I imagine they will announce those cars or at least some concepts this spring, instead, at a different auto show. Which is a pretty sad statement about the Detroit show that the Detroit manufacturers don't even take it seriously as a venue for their future products.

It is known as "zen state" aka peak state. Being in the zone. Happens with all skilled actions that are so well trained, they become almost automatic.
