Yeah. It's not as severe as the article makes it seem. It's just a bypass in a very insignificant component for which you need 2-3 other vulns to exploit.

I presume the editor just wanted to put an article out with Microsoft and Project Zero in the title, rather than analyze the actual flaw in the context of its severity.

The right to freedom of speech means Google can say what they want when they want about the vulnerability, giving them the right to set a deadline.

There are certainly companies doing much worse than setting 90 day deadlines. For example VUPEN, Hacking Team, and GrayKey selling undisclosed vulnerabilities to "good" governments, and other companies servicing the shadier governments[1].

You are assuming that mining for crypto is a useful thing to begin with. Not everyone agrees with you. And many here in Iceland are not enamoured with the idea that we should build more damns and loose more waterfalls so some people can get rich off speculation. Even if it is more eco friendly than people getting rich off speculation in China.
Letting random people take ownership of various chunks is—in all practical respects—identical to destroying them. This stuff is expensive and complicated to archive long term.
The only "dick move" involved here is the fact that zdnet wrote this article. Minor security issue lapses standard disclosure deadline? Who cares. Instead we get this attempt to sensationalize this into some kind of big Google vs. Microsoft rivalry.

It is tragic that the world standardized on Javascript. They are just now discovering some of the module issues that Prof. Wirth solved in his great Modula-2 langauge in 1974. His system allowed separate compilation, and a way to detect when the interface API changed so that it could be cross-checked. I used Modula-2 to great effect on very large projects, and am greatly relieved that the Modula-2 module system has more or less made it into JavaScript.

How to win any fight easily, naturally and automatically using one simple secret
Cool!
I had a similar topic for my master thesis where I predict GNSS Shadowing and HDOP Maps to plan HDOP optimal routes.

Here is a working implementation to do GNSS shadowing with GPS, Galileo, and Glonass using OpenstreetMap 3D Export of buildings and terraing.

https://github.com/xaedes/GNSS-Shadowing

It is written in C++ and has a working python binding.
But the interface is extremely polished. The ideas behind it are simple though:
Satellite trajectories are computed using SGP4 from publicly available TLE files. The current ones will be downloaded from cmake.
Some coordinate system transformations later a simple software shadow rasterization (in layered 2D map) algorithm is performed with 3D data pulled in from .obj files that are generated from OpenStreetMap. Dilution of Precision values are calculated from visible satellites for each rasterization point.
The shadow information can also be used to do shadow matching.

Maybe someone has a use for this^^

You're right, the 68000 shipped before the 68008. Still, the 6809 instruction set only resembles the 68000 set in a superficial way, the registers are completely different and even though they are technically of the same family they'd have to start all over again. Somewhere along the line they must have decided they needed more memory (and accessible faster than bankswitching could provide) so they ditched the 6809 in favor of the 68000 family.

So, it went 6809->68000->PowerPc->x86.

It's stranger still because the development of the Lisa started around that time as well and that did have a 68000.
As a general best bet: local credit union.
Sciter is awesome.

I found it too hard to start writing something with TIScript, maybe if there was some step-by-step tutorial it could be easier.

> So "yes", mini-electron is feasible and exists already I would say.

I believe you could became big player in "web to desktop" market if only sciter had JS & DOM support. That would give you access to existing code and make sciter almost drop in replacement for nw.js or electron.

> Why is this a bad thing?

Because it shows the language could be a lot better. A common, basic task shouldn't be so much easier outside the language (via reflection) than inside it.

> How is this different from, say, using Template Haskell?

It's the same thing. To the extent that people feel the need to use Template Haskell to do basic and common things, something is very wrong with Haskell.

> I have never found the existence of tests using mocks being a hindrance to refactoring in Java. Can you provide a more specific example?

I mean you can't refactor the test itself. Just basic things like: if you do expect(methodOne(matches("someComplexRegex"))) ; expect(methodTwo(matches("someComplexRegex"))), if you try to pull matches("someComplexRegex") out as a variable you'll break your test (you have to make it a function instead). You can't move an expect() above or below another method call without checking to see whether that was the method it was testing. Individually these things are trivial, but they add up to a chilling effect where people don't dare to improve mock-based tests a little as they work on them, so they end up as repetitive code with subtle variations, just like main code would if you never refactored it.

What is the current stable version of CakePHP?
Don’t worry, they’ll discover types eventually.
The macro expansion is more tightly tied to Scala itself, as are things like showing implicit parameters. To a certain extent the things you mention are generic things, but Scala pushes type inference further than other languages that that IDE supports and makes more use of static types in general, so the IDE might well not have bothered with the type hints without Scala. Likewise Scala makes fuller use of named parameters than many languages (in Java parameters have names but you can't pass them with name=value syntax).

There is a lockdown mode which restricted which COM objects could be instantiated from .net code to a short whitelist.

The whitelist is based on GUID. The lookup of GUID to actual binary is done through the registry.

COM hosting implementations should check that the object they got is the one they asked for. Net doesn't. So if you can write to the registry you can escape the sandbox.

CakePHP: Find where field is not null?
After 1 year using Elm, we've had a lot of great and not-so-great experiences. For a large app I still think choosing Elm was overall a better choice than javascript, but it's not without downsides.

Recently a new dev joined the front-end team. He had js background and no previous functional programming experience. In less than one month he was already shipping production code with confidence on our ~40kloc app. That goes to say that 1) I don't think lack of Elm programmers is a problem if the company is willing to train its employees and 2) I'm sure the front-end lead and the new dev would have a much harder time if we were using javascript.

Surely this is our experience. YMMV.

I understand your point of view. I, as well, believe that a good interviewer should be able to ask the right questions. This way, he gets to know what the abilities of the person sitting in front of him are. This is part of the problem I've described. The interviewer did not ask me anything significant about my experience with any of the technologies.

I think you know why Microsoft won't do that. They do the same kind of tracking in Windows 10.

They had an opportunity to actually hurt Google by blocking tracking scripts long ago with their "Do Not Track" feature enabled by default in its browser. And they wasted it by simply asking advertisers like Google nicely if they'd like to stop tracking users or not (you'll never guess what happened next!).

Microsoft has already been found violating previous and less strict EU privacy laws recently. I think Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon - they'll all end-up paying big fines in the EU within 18 months after the GDPR passes, because neither take it seriously enough and they still think they can use "angles" to trick the regulators as well as users into getting that data without real consent. They can't, and they'll learn it the hard way.

Oh, and the Privacy Shield will likely fall by the end of the year, too. So brace yourselves, it's going to be a wild ride for these privacy violators.

During your waking day, when you think about a problem you start tackling it with a specific strategy and accumulate thoughts (assumptions) regarding those strategies. Even if you discard them over the course of your day, you are still biased/focused towards that train of thought.

A good night's sleep which takes your mind out of conscious thought then resets/defocuses your mind again and you are more receptible to new ways of tackling the problem.

(All of the above is just vague anecdotal evidence, and I have no idea if there is any scientific basis for any of it.)
For the original UMTS 2100 auction in Sweden, instead of having an auction, the regulator gave away the spectrum for free to the bidder who could show a plan for the best coverage in the shortest rollout time in a "beauty contest". This left the operators with more money to build the actual networks in a sparse country with a low population. Of course everyone totally failed to achieve the plans they submitted, and one carrier that one dropped out completely (Orange) because they thought a buildout would still be too expensive. But Sweden still ended up with some of the best mobile networks (speed/coverage) in Europe at the time.

I tend to stay away from generalizing: a bad experience in a place does not necessarily mean that that place is terrible. But I do get skeptical when this happens repeatedly. I could, as you suggested, apply in a bunch of other places and learn the "how to" of interviews. Do you really think I should just get over this interview and find another place?
I think you didn't address his point. It doesn't matter how low the bar for entry is if you are working two jobs just to scrape together some ramen. The cognitive load of stress makes it extremely hard to tackle these kinds of personal growth tasks even if you can find a sliver of time to do it.

Their point I think was that without a helping hand, for example a way to not have to work two jobs but perhaps just the one, then you have the time and cognitive capacity to explore personal growth.

Also they seemed to be speaking directly about America, so while poverty in Africa is an issue, saying "man look how bad Africa is" is just avoiding addressing the issue at hand.

Explain what is AMI?
The keyboards on this new range of Apple laptops are a single unit with the logic board, very costly (to replace). They're extremely fragile and essentially booby trapped so that if you try to replace keys yourself, you may end up breaking the keyboard and thus the logic board as particular keys such as the spacebar are replaced differently. From a usability standpoint, the keys are so shallow that the tips of your fingers hurt after extended usage as if you've been pressing them into cement.
HackerRank is hiring a Solution Engineer
HackerRank is looking to hire a Solution Engineer (SE) who can work closely with our customers to implement the product in the right way. The term implementation refers to two things:

(a) Helping answer technical queries by customers both pre-sale & post-sale. For eg: how do you ensure that a Python code is given the same CPU resources as a C++ code to ensure fairness in evaluation since Python is a slower (interpreted) language than C++ (compiled)?

(b) Ensuring the tests are implemented right. For every (job role, seniority) we have a set of challenges that are appropriate. The SE needs to ensure that any question that a customer creates or we create follows the framework, monitor the performance of the test (how many people clear the challenge and what % get offers?) and provide the right recommendations to tweak the test, to increase the onsite -> offer ratio.

Our hiring process:

[1] Solve this coding challenge: http://hr.gs/se-challenge-2017 Once you qualify the coding challenge, you will have the next set of interviews.

[2] Invite you on-site where you will meet your team, VP, and CEO. Consider this as a mix of an interview as well as getting to know the team, the good parts & things that need to be fixed. We believe it's very important for both of us to get along really well.

[3] The discussions will check both your ability to communicate clearly as well as your understanding of Fundamentals of Computer science (data structures & basic algorithms like sorting)

Qualifications: Love for the job & alignment with our mission of Matching every developer to the right job

Good communication skills: Ability to articulate an idea or a thought in a way that the audience understands.
My confirmation bias is telling me that this is definately true.
Just stop being a frontend developer. Read some books about object-oriented software. Everything will come naturally.

Lol. And you post this on Hacker News where every paywall article has some variation of “how can I get around the paywall?”

We have a significant number of people on here that think it’s perfectly ok to steal movies, music, books, bypass paywalls yet, somehow lament the loss of “good journalism” while complaining about being tracked, i.e. “being the product,” all while devising ways to steal content, use stuff for “free” or otherwise do everything possible to avoid giving a single cent to a content creator.

The HN community is just a tiny slice of humanity, but damnit, you/we are supposed to be the vanguard, yet we actually allow “how do I bypass the paywall” to be allowed. Now imagine the rest of the world bypassing the paywalls. And here we are.

If we had comments asking people “how can I more easily shoplift video game consoles?” — would we allow that?

Calling it “timeless and unchanging” is as incorrect as calling it “x-axis-less and dζ/dx is always exactly zero for all possible variables ζ“.

>> Am I the only person who is getting annoyed at these increasingly hysterical articles shrieking about Facebook’s supposedly deceptive practices?

I don't know about that, but a few years back, when joining Facebook was all the rage, I, personally, was getting very annoyed at every other article in the press reporting what happened on Facebook and having everyone I met asking me, first for my facebook, then why I don't have one, then looking at me as if I was an alien when I explained I didn't want to hand over my personal data to some internet company.

From my point of view, this is not hysteria, it's a backlash brought on by the adoption of a fad by people who never considered the consequences of their actions and who only now start to wake up to them.

And I fervently hope that the current fad, of dissing facebook, will keep for at least as long as the fad of joining it has kept on.
