Abstract:

Blockchains primarily enable credible accounting of digital events, e.g., money transfers in cryptocurrencies. However, beyond this original purpose, blockchains also irrevocably record arbitrary data, ranging from short messages to pictures. This does not come without risk for users as each participant has to locally replicate the complete blockchain, particularly including potentially harmful content. We provide the first systematic analysis of the benefits and threats of arbitrary blockchain content. Our analysis shows that certain content, e.g., illegal pornography, can render the mere possession of a blockchain illegal. Based on these insights, we conduct a thorough quantitative and qualitative analysis of unintended content on Bitcoin’s blockchain. Although most data originates from benign extensions to Bitcoin’s protocol, our analysis reveals more than 1600 files on the blockchain, over 99 % of which are texts or images. Among these files there is clearly objectionable content such as links to child pornography, which is distributed to all Bitcoin participants. With our analysis, we thus highlight the importance for future blockchain designs to address the possibility of unintended data insertion and protect blockchain users accordingly.

This is very concerning. Ultimately, money provides such global power now that it has effectively escaped sovereign jurisdiction. There are barriers on where national power ends, but effectively none on where money can move or what it can do (comparatively). This article could have had the headline “How Today’s Mega Powerful Plan To Improve The World”. This relates to the idea of putting Central Banks outside the scope of most legislatures, it was supposed to insulate them from “greedy democracies”, but instead it created something worse.

All of this is the culmination of the migration of the State from governments to Financiers. A replacement of democratic justice with “market justice”.

NOTE: I still like Elon Musk. But he’s the exception, and it could be argued that NASA would have done all of this already if their budget hadn’t been frozen for the last 50 years. FYI the budget in 1967 for NASA was, even BEFORE being adjusted to inflation, greater than it was today. Astounding.
The author of this book launched a new open access journal called The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming last year. Professor Lopes serves as editor-in-chief. Much like the book, the journal focuses on the practice of programming and its styles.

The amount of vehicles a road can handle before becoming congested is dependent on the safe distance needed between cars at a particular speed, the reaction time of drivers, and the consistency and coordination of driving styles.

You won't see any improvements from AVs until human drivers are banned, after which the AVs can all drive at 100 mph and inches apart from each other. Traffic lights would also no longer be necessary.
The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment also published some results from their research on lead migrating from espresso machines into the used water (http://mobil.bfr.bund.de/cm/343/freisetzung-von-blei-aus-kaf... and http://www.bfr.bund.de/de/fragen_und_antworten_zur_freisetzu...). Based on that, there is a huge thread in a German coffee board (https://www.kaffee-netz.de/threads/bfr-studie-zu-blei-in-sie...) where you can find several test results for different machines.

Thanks, I love that sort of thing. Will see if I can find a copy :)
If all your work is to read/write data from DB and represent it in different ways, then yes, you can know absolutely nothing, use standard framework functions and be stackoverflow developer 8/5. But if you need to write something specific, something more complex, you can't just take two functions from your %framework_name% and make it beautiful and working. You should know how to do it and furthermore, you should know how to do it with existing tools. And here the majority begin to have problems.
Some interesting graffiti on the bitcoin blockchain: http://www.righto.com/2014/02/ascii-bernanke-wikileaks-photo...

I have always wondered this. What will a country do if someone embeds child pornography or a picture of Mohammed or something in the blockchain? Will it then be illegal to store the blockchain in that country? Is a link to such an image much different to an actual image? It seems hard to ever stop this happening with a public permissionless blockchain, pretty much by design.
Algorithms are not "what you learn in an algorithms course" and also not "what you are asked to do in a whiteboard interview". Writing an algorithm is what you do when you specify a way to mechanically obtain a solution to a problem, whether you do that in a declarative language or an imperative one or even in a language whose only interpreter is your own head.

> Easy-to-use synchronous API (faster than an asynchronous API... yes, you read that correctly)

Isn't that entirely unsurprising?

The point of async is not that it's faster, it's that other shit can run while you do your IO. Of course your sequence of operations is faster when you never yield to other tasks.
There's various methods to put SSH keys in LDAP. LDAP is an extensible database, so you can add a schema to attach SSH keys to a user (various schemas exist) - and the AuthorizedKeysCommand in your sshd_config can be hooked up to any program which can retrieve keys for a given user from anywhere (again, various programs exist).

As an example already put together: https://github.com/jirutka/ssh-ldap-pubkey

They assume that an average ultra-high definition video requires 25 megabit per second. Their max theoretical capacity is 144Tbps so the math is: 144Tbps/25Mbits = 5760000 (5.76 million simultanious video streams). Their wording might be confusing but their math is correct.
Sure, that's perfectly fine. I interpreted your original post as a public warning or complaint to other users. You've updated the Gist since then with a big disclaimer, so perhaps I wasn't the only one.

More broadly, I often see developers stay on the cutting edge when they don't have a security or feature need to, then complain about it.

It's not viable in cities, but large parts of commutes and congestion are on freeways where they are banned anyway.
We don't even want cars driving 100 mph in cities because of noise and pollution (for gasoline cars).

And if we went fully AV, we could still do away with traffic lights for cars in cities, as long as pedestrians and cyclists have their own safe passages and/or AVs are smart enough to deal with them just crossing at will.
Thank you for the clarification.

Do I understand you right that Sweden is not an extremely liberal country, and that it won't be extremely liberal until it becomes communist?

What I still don't see is how "forced upon a society" (or "authoritarianism") is something which only holds for extreme positions.

We see that the US does good job of delivering up human suffering (high prison rates, effective wage slavery such that people start their careers deeply in debt just to get the required education, many ongoing military bombing campaigns, etc.).

But the US is neither fascist nor communist.

In Sweden (to use the earlier example), companies are not allowed to discriminate on sex, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, etc. This is something forced on society, yes?

There are 13 countries where atheists potentially face the death penalty. They are not fascist countries.

I can't think of any country where some laws, based on the beliefs of lawmakers, aren't forced upon a society. Including laws that a majority of the population do not want.

So while I agree that what you say is true, it doesn't seem to be diagnostic. "The tallest people and the shortest people breath" is true, but that's because all people breath.

>"they should not be required to hand everything away so that people like you, who play doom and complain on the internet, can buy a new iPad with the proceeds of the redistributed wealth"

Please point out exactly where I have even come close to advocating this idea, which seems to only exist in the heads of conservative tax dodgers.

>"Once social mobility, educational opportunity, access to similar healthcare, and basic human rights are preserved, rich people don't owe you crap despite what you think."

They don't owe me anything personally, but they do owe society as a whole a hell of a lot.

>"there is nothing stopping a hungry and intelligent kid in the US whose parents feed him and shelter him from becoming a multi-millionaire in this country or even president."

Really? How about cultural stigma, institutional racism, old boys networks, country club nepotism, access to prestigious higher education, and a whole host of other factors?

Firstly, there are a lot of kids whose parents can barely feed and shelter them (hungry and well fed, can you make up your mind?), either despite their best efforts, or because they spend everything on booze or drugs. Secondly, even if they are adequately fed and sheltered, there is still massive societal pressure to not "rise beyond your station", both from above and below.

US society seems tailor made to keep the rich rich and the poor poor, by constantly putting obstacles in the way of progress, all because rich white old men are terrified they'll lose even a small part of their mountains of money.

No one (apart from hardcore old-school concrete commies) are advocating for 100% equal distribution of wealth. I believe that if someone puts their neck on the line and makes it big, good for them. But they should also pay their goddamn taxes and contribute back to society, and not with some excuse along the lines of "I'm investing the money in my own pet causes, so I shouldn't have to pay taxes". That's what's happening currently, the super rich don't feel any connection or responsibility towards keeping society running. They need a good strong lesson in humility.

I'm sure everything seems possible from your ivory tower, but that's not reality.
I would argue that OP isn't mediocre if they accept their faults. I also search on SO a lot ("how to check for string prefix in PHP" or my favorite "php variable reference").

A good programmer is someone who can see the architecture of a program when given a high-level description of the problem. Someone who I can realistically tell "write me a program to backup my files" and will end up writing a reasonable backup system. Someone who I can task with coming up with an application protocol with certain constraints. In short, someone who can be an artist, engineer or scientist depending on what is needed.

Good practices are largely irrelevant to being a good developer, you can be a good dev writing spaghetti code and a bad dev using TDD and OOP.

And you shouldn't care about noise anymore. When there's a constant stream of self-driving cars at 100 mph on the streets every single place in the city will sound like living next to a major highway.

And no, electric engines won't solve this problem, at speeds above 30 mph the engine is no longer the major source of noise, it's the tires and the aerodynamic noise.
Seems like only helpful for testing methods that can't capture any correlations the original method didn't.
You describe advantages of transportation and location around the building, not advantages of the building itself. Because crammed building like this usually also means smaller living space, problem with sound from/to neighbors and the street, if you live on a high floor - you need to go up and down (and hope that there's no problem with elevator). You say that nature is too far, but if you have nice garden you can have nature one step away (also, there should be more parks, regardless of if it's suburbia or a city, but it's cheaper to have a park in suburbia). I think best solution is combination of individual homes and apartment buildings (just not giant ones), so we could increase population density and there could be some shops and cafes in walk/bike ride distance. You don't need to always go to walmart to get a load of bread, for that you can occasionally ride there. And self driving cars will only help here.
$32 instead of $1. OK.
That's what I saw. The unnecessary capitalization is what I'm talking about. To be fair, this is far from the worst case.

There are titles where it doesn't make a difference, some are so-so, and some are really bad. But I'm fairly certain there is no case where it makes it better (easier to read).
I think they are complaining about the capitalization.
Error handling on signals are such and easy thing to put off and "do later." Even though the signals often will tell you something about how to error correct.

In one way I feel like the title for the paper is not correct, in the conclusion, they state that testing all these signals is not straight forward. But in my experience, a lot of critical failures could be prevented with very simple automated testing.
The fact that transactions are scripts is one of the ways that a miner can embed arbitrary data in the blockchain (eg via https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/OP_RETURN ), which is what the paper is about.

I don't know why the links for agents are relevant.
Snapshot testing in React
How to Install Apache on Fedora 21
We have explored GitLab in the past and a lot of our CI/CD is heavily inspired from GitLab.

They seem to be consistently taking right decisions at the micro level. Their CI/CD design and execution is way more usable and reliable than <name suppressed> pipelines (still no manual stages, still no re-triggering, etc). Their design and integration with Kubernetes is also a great choice.

So on the micro picture, things are quite good. On the macro picture, they are building a universe. On the Issues front, they're trying to be like Trello (and in some places, reminds of Jira). They're trying to tie Issues with customer support, getting slightly in the way of Zendesk/Freshdesk. They're building deployment. Then monitoring - they support Prometheus. Now post-deployment/post-monitoring. And of course, they are competing on core git hosting as well.

Of course, they'll do a great job. Heck, if they get into the messenger domain, they'll pick a nice strategy and just integrate deeply with Slack maybe.

But the core of the problem is: None of these are instrumentable/hookable. Want to enforce some of your own organization policies before deployment? Want to use everything _except_ with your own monitoring tool? Sorry. If you use GitLab, you use their universe and everything that comes with it. There is no graceful integration with a broader set of tools.

Maybe for a small startup, just "doing things the GitLab way" and subscribing to all their micro choices (which are good) make sense. But organizations grow, and they'll outgrow these micro choices sooner than later. Then the lack of extensibility, hooks, etc. will bubble up.

All this is assuming GitLab continues to build out a perfect application platform with all the right choices (and all the version and time matrices of those choices). Hugely laudable work so far though!

Not much you can do about it anyway.
For me, with my current background and skills, it would be a huge amount of work to provide something that others could sensibly use. I have, amongst my colleagues, the reputation of writing "user-hostile software" and "impenetrable interfaces."

But I also felt that if this had a market - so to speak - then there would have been people saying "Oh, I'd use that!". But yours is the only reply, so I suspect it's really not worth the time and effort I would have to expend, given that I don't already have any of the necessary skills to take it beyond a quick command-line lash-up that works on my specific setup.
But the coordination and submitting of the patches and their discussion then, is mostly done online and open.
Depends on how many of them there are. If there is infinite, there is no MUID, if it's finite and below 2^64 then a traditional UUID should be enough to assign a UUID per universe and then assing a UUID for objects within.

Dying with M.E. as a software developer (2014)
I think about 5% of all developers out there nowadays are actually good developers. IME, most would have no idea what to do if you took away stackoverflow or their abstractions that make their day manageable.

I'm a bit twiddler from way back - my first love was 65C02 assembly language in the mid 80s and my 2nd love as a professional was C for 12 years - but until I stopped considering myself as just someone concerned about code and learning how to efficiently deliver business value, my career suffered.

I take advantage of as many third party libraries and abstractions as possible. I try to use cloud solutions as much as possible (Lambda, RDS, SQS, etc.). In the market where I live, React/Angular + NodeJS jobs are a lot more plentiful and pay more than C jobs. Also, being able to leverage "abstractions" like AWS/Azure functionality is a lot more marketable than knowing how to setup everything yourself.

I'm the type of person that likes to learn deeply about my chosen platforms (C#, JavaScript, AWS,Mongo, SQL Server) just because I'm a geek, but the money comes from knowing high level architectural concepts.

I've had 5 jobs since 2012 and only once did I have a coding test (pair programming on a computer).

If the database changes are substantial enough to break the applications, I would have a new schema setup to have enough time to test carefully and then when ready, point the application to the new schema.

For small changes, we use scripts 'INSTALL_[SCHEMA].sql' and 'ROLLBACK_[SCHEMA].sql' which do everything needed including backups / restores of any tables needed.

This is tested in the DEV/QA environments as needed then run in Prod right before deploying the application changes.

We haven't had high availability requirements and can get away with a scheduled 3 minute outage but this works for us.

The beauty is that if something goes wrong, the rollback script gets us out of trouble.
I think the concept is the same as Socrates's "The first step towards wisdom is recognizing your own ignorance".

5. What's a comparison open-source tool to this ? Only I can think about is snappydata.
