It'd be neat to instead so this with the latest 8th gen i7 mobile chips that have 6 cores or the Ryzen 2700. Those 6 cores will make a huge impact for most software development people. Maybe 32GB is possible if you can change it yourself unless it's unsupported.

You should receive a call if successful, and an email if you're not (unless things have changed, this has been standard in the past)
interesting. This was the main reason I sent back my XPS 15. I had this problem especially in hjkl keys since I use emacs devil mode and my cursor was just jumping all over the place all of a sudden. This problem and the coil whine, but when I returned they didn't mention others have the same problem.

I don't really see how this is an issue engineers need to be particularly wary of?

Firstly, your typical load balancer doesn't work this way anyway. It will just keep feeding requests to the application hosts on a round robin or random basis. Most don't keep track of how busy each instance is.

Secondly, any decent (HTTP/layer 7) load balancer will notice if an instance is returning exclusively 5xx errors and will stop routing requests to it. Would fail even the most basic of health checks.
I also do this in MacTerm (with the option to join the text to a single line, keep as-is or cancel).

Though there is still lots of trickery that can sneak into text, e.g. zero-width characters, and I’m trying to come up with better filters.
I apologise for using 'soul' where I should have used 'sole' in this reply. I promise I know the difference but I was clearly tired when I wrote this.
no, they are not in the same world. one of my colleagues has it and compared to my previous machine 2013 MacBook pro it doesn't compare but even with my Thinkpad x1 5th gen, I think mac still has a better touchpad. Mostly it is because of libinput probably. Never tried mac touchpad on Linux.

The original Drupalgeddon vulnerability was seriously problematic in the speed of exploitation. The automated exploits were developed only hours after the announcement, and ~7h later as far as I remembered widespread enough to consider all unpatched installations compromised.

This exploit was far more lenient in timing, there was an advance notice of a serious vulnerability, and the automated exploits were weeks later this time.

There are certainly many people running a CMS themselves that don't have the capabilities to keep them reasonably secure. But it's not that hard if you have a reasonably small attack surface, e.g. few plugins and no user-generated content/accounts. And of course you need to subscribe to the relevant security mailing list.
An alternative pattern is to have a super light moderately powerful laptop, then SSH into a more powerful box when you need it.

This way your lap doesn't get hot and your battery doesn't drain. Plus, you don't have to carry around a paving slab.
Turning off messenger notifications seems drastic and unnecessary (it's real people contacting you). It's like turning off sms notifications of call notifications, I do it whenever I need to concentrate , but not by default.

The problem are apps that notifies us about useless or non direct communication stuff.

A good thing would be to see the graph up to today - am I right that the article only shows the graph from 20 years ago and then some affirmation of the validity of that artefact? If so does anyone have a link to the picture up to 2018?
Well I'd guess many readers such as I have worked for schools, churches and other institutions that needed a website, it's a very common type of customer. The hard problem is, you can't usually really help them with this level of problem with their level of budget for it when choosing the common CMS Solutions.
1/3 of heart surgeons violate medical ethics. That shows how flimsy and easily corrupted doctors are. That they don't really care about doing what's best for their patients' health as soon as an incentive makes that inconvenient. I hope some more data will reveal who has statistical anomalies in who they're turning away so the frauds can be identified.
Neither I have receive any call nor any email. What should i do now? Should i contact YCombinator for application status ?
Light hearted introductions to work related stuff you might encounter is always a crowd pleaser. It makes for great lightning talk ideas too.

However, it might be prudent to point out that these things will feature in the first chapter of any book on load balancing, as an example of the pros and cons of different load balancing methods: least connections, least load, round robin etc.

(Sometimes I suspect picking up a book is becoming a lost art in this day of devops and breaking things fast. Learning from mistakes is all well and good, but there are other ways too.)
IPs are naive and too broad. Force users to authenticate to see your content. Unauthenticated viewers get to see only a scrambled version. Now you can track usage by username.

Establish a baseline as to what constitutes "normal" browsing.

Any user exceeding a threshold of page requests gets rate limited/banned.

Stopping people from recording public information is unrealistic, but you can certainly make it more of a pain in the ass.
Is anyone else in the strange position of never using Facebook, and not really knowing anyone else who uses it?

Neither my dad nor my mom use it, nor the rest of my family. I've never used it. I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one so thoroughly insulated from Facebook addiction.

The method of updating has to be considered.

If your auto-update system also means a single RCE vulnerability can then embed malicious content into the program itself, that is worse than non automatic updates.
Same too. The odd thing for me is that the client address (from the original text) was an AWS address. Only two appeared in the main inbox. More were sent straight to spam.

They appeared just after I turned on my AWS instance briefly. So I thought it was related.

You're specifically talking about a relational database which are the most flexible data systems available with decades of development. You can model pretty much every other datastore on top of a relational database, including Redis.

But Redis is designed for a different use-case It's far simpler to install and operate, and much faster to run by being completely in-memory. It has optional persistence when you need it, easy replication, and a simple single-threaded architecture with primitive access to data structures. So yes, you won't get the flexibility of a relational database, but you get performance and simplicity and there are a great many uses for that.

If you can't think of a reason to use it, then that's a good sign that you just don't have a need for it.

WordPress at least automatically updates itself. There's been a few times when auto updates broke but, overall, it has been a tremendous help in reducing the number of exploited web servers out there.

It's really low value compared to the most of the rest of the front page stuff. Interesting in a way but there is a lot of interesting stuff around that does not hug the front page.
I'm surprised that people call this a weak laptop. Clicking through to the article I thought it would have 2-4GB RAM and a weak CPU. It has 16G of ram and a very recent 3.10GHz Intel CPU. What are you doing on your laptops? This is a deeecent laptop and it is 13". The software you use is crappy if you can choke this machine w/o running a bunch of VMs concurrently.

In my experience, it has been neither. My friends effortlessly filter what I need to hear into iMessages, e-mails, phone calls and face-to-face shares.

Human communication is as easy to hack as it is fluid and resilient.
That's a rather naive view. If you come to their attention and provide a useful, low-friction solution to achieving their metrics then all those statements become invalid.
I wouldn't say i'm insulated, but some of my friends and i dont have a facebook account.
Sometimes there are funny reactions when you apply for a new Job and they cant find a single piece of my private information online. when i meet new people some react as if i wouldn't exist without a facebook account. makes for some funny conversations :D
I would disagree. The problem is the unnatural, ever expanding range of concern for the entire human population as it increases and as things globalise. We in general get no additional happiness from remote billions of people and only added risks and concerns. It is hardly surprising that the natural empathy capacity is being exceeded.

Worse the limited amount we do have is manipulated. As remote concerns are selectively beamed into our consciousness via the media.

Videogames are also very repetitive and limited in their possibilities. Limitation and how the player masters them is the major point of most games.

Board games have some advantages over videogames. They have shorter gaming-sessions, a healthier multiplaying and a far stronger flexibility for game-execution and rules-modifications. Boardgames are played with the family and friends on a table and it's up to the players how they handle things.
About 2 years ago I unfollowed all my friends. When I login there's nothing to see now. I feel that I've switched it from a push to a pull service and am much happier using it.

With exception of few large projects, you can be fairly sure no one will look at your code. And in a work, people you do know are pretty much guaranteed to look at your code, one way or the other.

This might however be argument for code review.

Everyone just acted like this was a huge scandal. One guy on roids beat all the other guys on roids. Plain and simple.

He just had to be made an example of, by people he had pissed off. And he was brought down by his own disgruntled teammates. Not by a + test.

It's widely known that athletes at the highest level have encountered people who use roids. If you just don't inject yourself to the gills with it and cycle out, you stand a good chance of passing the test.

You can use it and compete with the rest, or you can choose to not use it and watch the others run past you in a pace you thought was supernatural.

Bikers used to drink alcohol and climb the hills in the Tour all the time. Is alcohol not performance enhancing when it dulls the throbbing pain in your legs?

Bring those cyclists down too. Then you'll have everyone's support.

Make a league for people who want to use roids, and for the ones who don't. It'll multiply your revenue 2x, organisers.
Complex services are hard to manage, even at scale with billions of investment. We've had plenty of instances where managed services had issues but VMs (being relatively simple tech) were just fine and we would've been better off running it ourselves. Also there's the cost ratio where high performance becomes exponential more expensive for many services.

Perhaps the biggest reason though is that software is easier than ever to operate now with the rise of containers and Kubernetes. In fact, you can use Kubernetes as the single managed service to get that taken care of by the cloud, and then do the rest yourself for a great balance of cost, performance, flexibility and reliability.

We need an API to interact with Facebook, so that other tools can shield us from it and help us migrate away.

Facebook will never build this API, but perhaps someone can use DOM traversing as the underlying mechanism for an open source service that provides the API.

I don’t understand. Can someone please dumb it down one setting on the dial? What makes this obviously superbiologically capable?
Yeah I agree with this, my Lenovo has the same CPU and 8GB of ram (the maximum) and I'm happy with the performance.
Back in the day, there was a 386. And also a 387 coprocessor to have the tougher math bits.

Then came a 486 and it got integrated again.

But during that time, the GPU split off. Companies like ATI and S3 began to dominate, and anyone wanting a computer with decent graphics had one of these chips in their computer.

Fast forward several years, and Intel again would bring specialized circuitry back into their main chips, although this time for video.

Now we are just seeing the same thing again, but this time it’s an offshoot of the GPU instead of the CPU. Seems like the early 1990’s again, but the acronyms are different.

Should be fun to watch.
Wow, really? I've got a five-year-old W530 that has had 32 GB since the day I got it.

Vaping is very popular here, so that may supplant it. You can often see teenagers using it, and even in low income neighborhoods, it's rare to see cigarette smokers outside in the daytime.
The laptop looks nice enough, but the lack of dedicated PgUp/PgDown/Home/End keys is a deal-breaker to me. I'm also on a 13.3" (Lenovo E31-70, previously a HP ProBook) and fitting these keys really isn't a problem.
7 Things Your Audience Won’t Forgive You For
Every week of the American War of Independence
my opinion is that you were downvoted cos people really want to use Facebook for whatever reason and when you say they don’t need it they start shaking... so yes, it is an addiction.

and also, i see internet as public space, YOU are responsible what you leave behind, if someone comes up to you in a real world and ask you your birthday how would you react? yet you do it on the internet and people will give that and their CC card number without problems and then complain... So, yeah this is not just Facebook fault...
Sure I could run a CMS reasonably secure Drupal Site. But I'm at a successful startup, have had years of experience hardening Websites and know my it-sec hygiene. This also makes me not the target audience for CMSes like Drupal. Most of us agree that having static site generators are a much better solution for most use-cases. The people needing WordPress and Drupal don't know what Usecases they need, they are exploring the possibilities often times.
Do you see new programming paradigms emerging from this?
Can't you use a service like Panopticlick to 'tune' the browser fingerprint to a majority percentile? Particularly if running in clean VM images.
Especially if you're popular and want to scale.

Turning that CMS into a distributed publishing platform is tricky, but scaling static content is easy-mode from top to bottom.
In the mid-1990s, a respectable CS program would certainly have all of its graduates familiar with TCP/IP. They would know a little about routing and have built a few toy programs that implemented socket-based communication. Hot topics included "firewalls" and the race to build a gigabit-speed router. (But packet filtering at gigabit speed was quite a ways off in the future.)

The point of a technology degree had better be to teach you how to learn about new technology and experiment with it, or else a 2014 degree will be worthless in 2034.
Everybody was doping. The speed of the tour climbed until 2005 [1] and the related scandals and then dropped and is now hovering around 40kph.

Talking to competitive cyclists in the US at the time, everybody knew everyone was doping because it had become physically impossible to do that speed without doping. The top 10 racers were within 0.3% of Armstrong’s time in the 2005 race. They were all doping and several have had their results stricken.

Armstrong was the fall guy and object lesson for a general cleanup of the sport because nobody liked him. The rest was hypocrisy.

I am curious what do you think about Coursera certificates. For example Coursera (Deep learning specialization)doesn't allow you to complete assignments and projects of the course without subscription. Also it just feels good to have a token of your weeks of effort.

I asked about electric uni not for speed btw. I've seen a few and people were faster than traffic even at moderate speed (in city of course), looked relaxed as fk, the device was small.

So you are arguing that in the information age the only way to communicate for some people is facebook? why can’t phone, sms or email work?

on the othe hand, how hard is to tap someones land phone and listen in to their conversations, yet people still used it a lot before so i think expectations of privacy in public space is just a fantasy... If you really cares about privacy you wouls not use facebook, and you would look for encrypted communication channels, most people don’t care however...

FuseSoC: package manager and build tools for FPGA/ASIC development
I may have took the title differently. I thought it was a casual thing for people to move. If you have the skater mindset, it will probably be ok, but I still think it's suicide to float at 50km/h unprotected.
IMO it certainly takes some learning curve to get up to speed with the keybindings and concepts. In the beginning anybody would struggle but after the learning efforts you'd find it to be much more productive than the other editors.

It really doesn't matter, the actual RF baseband inside the chip is still closed source. Atheros never released it for any model. The firmware interface to the OS driver, yes, but not what's going on under the hood.
> I don't get where this whole "expressions vs values" thing is coming from. Why are you making this distinction? I don't get it.

What's your definition of what makes a language static verus dynamic?

> If I have every primitive type in Python correspond to a type in mypy, I don't get how that isn't a basis of a static type system.

Being able to describe and annotate types doesn't make a static type system. A static type system is a way of associating with each valid program a proof that there will be no runtime type errors (or at least that certain entire classes of runtime errors will not occur). That's the entire premise of type theory.

The fact that you can assert types and determine the types of some expressions in mypy doesn't make it static (just like it doesn't make Julia static). You can prove that `2 + 2` is an integer in any language. Being able to do that does not make a language static or the term "static" is vacuous.

> Pretty sure it's just the simple, type-theory way of defining it, and I don't see why we would define types in a way that isn't consistent with type theory.

When a definition isn't useful, you don't just throw up your hands and say "oh well, guess we can't do anything about this"—you use a definition that is useful for the problem at hand. The fact that type theory's entire conclusion about dynamic languages is "they only have one type" is about as clear evidence as possible that, despite the name, "type theory" is not a useful tool for understanding types in dynamic languages. Yet systems like Julia and mypy are clear evidence that interesting things can be said about "types" even in systems that traditional type theory would call unityped.
