To me that's the slippery slope argument.

Sure, someone else could have done it already, or could be doing it right now. But SINTEF is supposed to be reputable research organization, and I think it's more than acceptable to expect them to properly handle any data they gather.

Grindr faces significant hurdles in improving security and complying with GDPR, and we do need to hold them to account, but that does not absolve SINTEF of their responsibilities either.
Like the overall idea. One important feedback - needs the ability to specify a 'departure' city not just airport. E.g. London has 5 main airports, and most people would be able to fly from any of these. An umbrella search that is "London" and aggregates across all the airports for the city is key.

exactly. it's funny that the same people that don't like communism where these things don't happen get very mad about how capitalism works and how some people become rich without skills/effort (although it's just random variance I am not saying that skills are not rewarded).
For C# there's .NET Core nowadays, which iirc is a crossplatform JVM / JDK-like thing, runs on linux and everything too.
Definitely. I really don't understand this sudden obsession with every website wanting to show notifications.
"But there’s no reason to freak out about it."

Thank you vice for telling me how to think.
Seeing this picture for one of the European capitals is funny: https://d19wm5yhteu8df.cloudfront.net/destination/images/att... . Slovaks will find it less amusing I think.

Also, when I click the picture (it's for Bratislava), I see mismatched cities:

Looks like there's still some QA to do.
"wiki" usually means "wikipedia". A 20s DuckDuckGo search leads to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science

> Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge")[2][3]:58 is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.[a]

Incidentally, the "wiki" as a system separates "scholarship" from "authoring". "scholarship" is done collaboratively post factum, given substance "authored" by various overlapping sources.

Sure, where do I get review papers without having an affiliation with an academic institution?
macOS Forge shut down in 2016. All those links are to the new homes of the projects.
The usual non-technical word that would get picked here is "hijacking". If I get on a bus home, and some nutjob with a gun to the driver's head insists it goes to Springfield instead, the bus wasn't stolen, but it was hijacked and now I don't get where I was headed.

Hijacking can occur in several places in Internet infrastructure, but hijacking IP addresses is arguably the worst since there's almost nothing we can do about it. Cloudflare might have (perhaps even purposefully) struck the one thing you can do if you want to, which is put a popular but optional service on the address, and then let ordinary users scream blue murder because it doesn't work.

[ Other examples of hijacking: Web browsers will fetch the path /favicon.ico from your site. Why? Because Internet Explorer did that to add "favourite icons" for web sites, so now that's all you can use it for; administrator@example.com can't just be the email address for somebody who fancied the handle "administrator". Why? Because Certificate Authorities decided that if somebody receives email sent to administrator@example.com that person must be authorised to have certificates for any name in example.com. No existing rules told them this was safe, but they did it anyway, so now you have to allow for that ]
I disagree.

They’re not about targeting a particular demographic, but they prowl reddit to find comments - some appropriately quoted, some taken entirely out of context - with the express purpose of producing something that will get the mob howling and spitting in fury. Bonus points if they’re angry enough to go to the source post and rain vitriol on the original commenter.

It’s a sub dedicated to chasing people with torches and pitchforks, protected from their garbage behavior because, if you take them at face value, they’re chasing bigots of various types.
Indeed the really important question that is slowly being dug in (too slowly in my books) is how a quite strictly testable thing as nutrition science has failed to produce truly actionable results. With at least decently described applicability.

Maybe it is because of outside influence, maybe it is due to much to broadly asked question and/or premature generalization. Or following leads without actually testing their veracity, which probably has another cause.

Maybe partly ethics preventing us from experimenting on ourselves as a species in a rational way. (Unlike the random uncontrolled irrational experiments we run every second of our life.)

Glory, finding or requirement to prescribe action even if we do not know what should be done. Also known as leadership in some circles...

Both are irrelevant in practice, but DNSSEC is de facto standard; it's what the root servers implement.
> Nothing frustrates me more than when software thinks it knows better than me.

Would it be fair to rephrase that as "... and fails"?

Because that's what we're really talking about, right? Those times when the smart system failed to correctly predict user intent, but lacked a fallback method for the user to clarify?

I'm sure there's an uncanny-valley-esque term out there for the difficulty "99% correct" smart systems have when users hit that 1% of incorrectness.

Time waste alert! When I applied, I got a programming task that took me about 4 hours to complete. Never heard from them again after submitting my solution.
For those considering iPad for work, I would recommend also testing Macbook. Before switching to Windows I was traveling with Macbook and found it pretty convenient. No need to play with SSH or alternatives as you can run the actual tools. Depending on stuff you do, syncing via Dropbox may make it possible to easily work on a more powerful computer when at home/office.

Not perfect of course. In some cases, it would be nice to have the tablet mode, for example reading docs in plane (no need to stash away for takeoff/landing). With Macbook touchpad I did not really miss touch screen. Can't remember how it was with battery life in real life.

Note: The interesting part is not the vulnerability itself, that is relatively minor. The interesting part is where the tox developers explain that they don't really understand their code.

Come say hi! :-)
I don't want my salary to be transparent. There is something called privacy. My salary is a private matter. I really don't believe I'm any kind of expert in negotiation.
ok, not a native speaker, thought "on a budget" refers to cheap/saving money/low in price.
I actually do this for my personal servers (I'm not your Dad btw).

Two decades ago when I only had a handful of servers it seemed a great idea to name them after Greek Gods (on the Zeus family line). I actually stole the concept from the DEC VAXcluster I was working with at the time. Fast forward to present day and everything being virtualised, it's trivial to boot up a new server from a template, and naming each new one has become a massive pain. As I apply a no-reuse rule, I find myself delving deeper and deeper into Greek mythology. I also try to match the name with the purpose, so the God of Messaging (Hermes) is my Mail Server, Zeus is the Hyper-V host for all his offspring etc.

It all made sense at conception, but now I've got ~40 servers doing various things, and half the time I can't remember which is which. :(

However...

In a professional environment[1] I have lost SO many hours in pointless 'naming convention' arguments. Everyone has a different view as to how it should be done. My view is to pick the defining characteristics of the servers; Is location important? Are they single role servers? Are they lab or production? Do they belong to specific part of the business?

For example: 'LDNTCADSP001' breaks down into {location}{datacentre}{role}{lab/prod}{unit-number}

* Don't use wasted character like dashes as depending on your systems you've only got X characters to play with.

* Sysadmins should always be able to identify at a glance what the server does, and where it is without having to fire up a CMDB.

[1] I've held senior roles in several major global Banks, where my teams managed several hundred servers on average. So this is a real-world viewpoint.
And I would also like to see the code LON for all airports around London. If I am to take a GBP 5k trip to Fiji, I don't really mind if it starts from Heathrow or City of Gatwick :)
I'm not entirely sure why I accept being hit by a drunk driver but not by an AI driver. I suspect that first of all, my reasoning can not be backed up by pure reasoning and numbers, so any attempt to say that "look, our AI is safer than humans we should allow it" is probably doomed to fail (I mean I'm a bloody programmer by trade and even I refuse to accept simple statistical arguments in this case! - what will then "regular" people think?)

But perhaps the most convincing argument is that even the drunk, sleepy or sloppy driver at least takes a reciprocal risk in traffic. The one thing that makes me believe that people try their best to avoid hitting me is that we will both be in the accident.

Simply put: we are sort of fine with being put at risk by human behavior. That's part of of the risks we have already accepted. This is a new risk and even if it reduces another risk (fewer human drivers) we classify it as a "new risk" and we are risk averse.
You'd think something like a simple downvote button that lowers the probability of the post being seen would kinda work.
>MIT has a long history of celebrating students who transgress boundaries and go where it is unexpected[1]

Only when it's conservative enough and doesn't break the law too much. And not officially. In fact the very wikipedia link says:

"Although the practice is unsanctioned by the university, and students have sometimes been arraigned on trespassing charges for hacking, hacks have substantial significance to MIT's history and student culture".

>If a good friend of mine sees my house has the door ajar, and the walls are "covered in graffiti" it would be perfectly reasonable for him to check inside.

Not really. Especially if they know they're not welcomed if found inside, and they have no business there.
With all these downsides to keyboard input on the platform and wanting to use Emacs, I'm just curious what do you actually like about working on the iPad over something like a Macbook, Surface or the small MBP?

This is still an incorrect approach looking at incorrect metrics. According to the government document:

>The gender pay gap is the difference between the average earnings of men and women, expressed relative to men’s earnings. For example, ‘women earn 15% less than men per hour’.

But this is not what should be measured. If there's a mining company that employs 90% men working down in the mine and 10% women doing accountancy, then of course the average wages of men are going to be different than those of women, but that tells us nothing about equal and fair treatment of men and women at this company.

All the metadata stuff is good, but I'm not in academia. I can't make use of it if it's not available. That's why I'm worried about the information being available first and foremost.
I think and hope that Apple will merge osx and ios and thus only needs to maintain one software and hardware architecture.
Agreed, that's exactly what I've been felt is missing. I'm not sure about flights+hotels, but for flights alone the tools already existed (Adioso, Google Flights).

Alas, I still haven't found any that let me do the same for trains and buses. GoEuro already lets you search, but you have to choose a specific destination.
It is a function problem, though. The reddit mobile "upgrade" is a huge regression in usability over just viewing the desktop site on my mobile devices, which I have done for over 6 years without complaint.

There is no upside to using this new mobile site. It loads more slowly, has obtrusive banner every time, has fewer features, is more confusing to use, and well, just sucks.

I looked up flights from Windhoek, Namibia to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and there were 34 people currently looking at that route.

So, the site is just posting inaccurate information in an attempt to increase sales. I don't understand how a person or a business can think this is acceptable behavior, and they lost all my trust in a matter of minutes.
You are probably right. I myself however am curious why they would need linux kernel devs.

It seems to me that people are actually more likely to take unreasonable risks when they have to make these calls on the spot. We often overestimate our ability to handle difficult situations and are prone to valuing "getting there in time" more than playing it safe.

NASA is known to define a set of strict and absolute mission rules before the beginning of a mission for just this reason. See for example the rules defined for various Apollo missions [1]. Note how those rules define all sorts of limits and abort triggering conditions. This is done because there is always a desire accomplish the mission even when something has gone wrong.

PE of tech companies would be a great place to start
The reddit mobile site actually just stopped loading for me at all a few months ago; I assume it was a redesign at their end paired with an update I ignored at my end - I just get a blank screen. Since I minimise the number of apps I install, it basically removed reddit from my mobile browsing. Now you've gone and taught me i.reddit.com which still works! (Actually, thanks.)
