There is no issue as to wether this is an actual problem. MagSafe has been a problem for many years.

What is of compelling interest is "Why has this problem persisted? What does this tell us about Apple?"
mpv + youtube-dl plugin are also a nice combination, especially for live streams.

Being uncompromising in your politics and values is hardly authoritarian. RMS runs the ship and these people knew it when they started working on a GNU project, especially since it's well known RMS has shot down things he didn't like before.
That's a really big "only" even if we accept all those assumptions.
You should practice what you preach, because your statement doesn't make me feel very welcome or safe right now. You seem to make a lot of assumptions about me and the world I live in.

I just said I agree with RMS on this, and you straight up attacked me personally.

DevOps Security at Scale Part 6: Technology Adoption
Eh, it’s instant on in my car (a Citroen) but I suspect they start booting the electronics when I unlock the car. In the 3 months I have had the car it have never crashed but twice CarPlay refused to find the phone and required a reboot of the phone.
I wrote a longer comment here, but decided it wasn't helping.

So, I'm just going to go with: no, if you're really building an application and care about application security, no, you shouldn't waste time setting up a WAF tool designed to help 10,000 employee insurance companies make sure their Wordpress marketing site isn't exposing some vulnerability from 3 years ago.

Not wasting time with dumb stuff like this isn't "terrible security"; every dumb thing you do exacts a cost from good things you could be doing instead.
OK, perhaps LA is doing something about it. But LA courts were harassing homeless with ridiculous fines. I suspect that $35 would be a major budget item for a homeless person. Let alone additional tickets for failure to appear and pay. The article notes that arrests of homeless accounted for over 10% of total arrests in 2011, and almost 17% in 2016.

Officers can be respectful while ticketing and arresting the homeless. And perhaps Santa Monica isn't targeting homeless as much as LA generally.
You’re proposing we fix energy production instead of fixing Bitcoin AFAIU. However, until we know how to do that OR until we have strong use cases for Bitcoin, why not put tight controls on proof-of-work mining to reduce electricity consumption?

The “let the market find equilibrium” philosophy is reckless when we’re talking about global environmental concerns IMO.
I'm sure being a psychopath feels good, but if we all behave that way (Kant, categorical imperative) the result is lousy.

Fractional reserve banking doesn't work with Bitcoin, unless you somehow trust a centralized party to always honor your withdrawal, or the coins never leave that internal system. Many exchanges could theoretically be running fractional reserve operations. But they are just risking themselves because once a rumour gets out, a bank run will occur and they will be exposed. Once you withdraw your coins from this trusted system, it is accounted for on the blockchain.
> It's not ascribing ill will at all. They've stumbled on a canary or a "brown M&M," where regardless of how good they think they are, they've transgressed a boundary of the implicit agreement of who has final say.

I dunno, is it fair to call it an "agreement" if one side doesn't think they agreed to it?

zwol says:

> I don't think I did anything wrong procedurally. RMS may be the project leader, but he is not a glibc maintainer. His wishes regarding glibc are perhaps to be given _some_ more weight than those of any other individual, particularly when he is also the author of text under dispute, but we have never, to my knowledge, treated them as mandates.

Seems pretty clear he isn't party to this agreement, implicit or otherwise.
Ask HN: Which language with an APL-style interface is *best*?
Re: APL-style languages-
The best options seem to be:
(in order of preference, from most popular first to least popular last)

-J

-Kona

-Klong

All three are open source, which is a requirement.

J seems to be the best choice, but it does bother me that it's described as a synthesis of APL "and the FP and FL function-level languages".[0]

Kona, a clone of the closed-source language K, is described as the synthesis of APL and Lisp[1],
of which two languages Prof. Perlis refers to, while praising APL in "In Praise of APL"[1], suggesting that APL is on an axis, which Lisp is also on, opposite APL, and that the two languages complement each other.

I'm asking as a student, not considering code portability or comprehensibility.

I'm OK with a write-only language.

I want something that will integrate snugly with a unix system, and something that is performant and scales well (I've heard that the K interpreter fits in the CPU cache).

A language whose interpreter/compiler deals with threading.

Thanks,
Richard

Users don't care if the database behind instagram is mysql or couchdb. Users don't care if a site uses php or node.

So why are we telling users they are using blockchain tech? And forcing them to hold their private keys?

Blockchain should be implemented behind the scenes to increase user experience, in a way that improves the overall technology. Until this occurs, we won't see mass adoption of blockchain.
I think the real advantage of k8s is the ease to scale bare metal. This just isn't that important for the next 5 years or so. On the other hand, azure and gke make k8s easy enough if you are already using docker. Containers on the hand, the developer experience is still very mixed. OSX still doesn't have great container support and I honestly can only guess how well windows can handle my docker-compose workflow.

One great k8s tool I like is kompose. It allows our devs a very similar interface around secrets, networks, volumes, etc.

In that time Twitter has:

It was actually the lwn post (which is basically a summary of the mailing list) that made me think that nftables was doomed.

https://lwn.net/Articles/747551/

seems that BPF is taking the nftables API, which seemed to be the core value-add (reimagined iptables API), and actually delivering on the performance benefits as well.

I hold people that work on the kernel in pretty high regard, and I expect them to be pragmatic about it (the whole "strong opinions loosely held" thing), and if BPF doesn't introduce too many possible security vulnerabilities (that's about the only issue with it I can see), it might represent the best of both worlds -- new api + improved performance.

Not sure how common in the rest of the world it is, but in New Zealand it's quite common to have screws that are a combo-bit, and accept Phillips/pozi drive and also Robertson drive. The construction industry is a bit split between Pozi and Robertson, or at least it was a few years ago.

Robertson drive is an amazing drive for construction work. The screws stick nicely onto magnetised drivers, so that you can screw them into awkward locations, and they're really resistant to stripping the head. In this day and age, you can set the maximum torque on most electric screwdrivers/drills, so there's no need for a drive that intrinsically limits the torque like Phillips drives.

“Block-chain needs service design to succeed”... isn’t the whole point of service design that you enter a project without fully knowing what you’re trying to solve and then figure it out a long the way?

I work digitization, so we digitize things, typically. There is a town in Denmark with a design school called Kolding, they did a digitization project with service design, that ended up with a cardboard sheet for citizens to keep track of their case history and a less noisy waiting room because service designed showed them that was what their citizens needed if the goal was to reduce stress in the case working of long term sickness. They didn’t go into this project expecting to do a non digital solution, like expecting something to save blockchain, but that’s what they ended up with through service design. It’s since improved their case working and citizen recovery immensely by the way.

Anyway, I find it interesting that people keep pushing for block chain. The largest municipality in Denmark has run some POCs on it, and even though we’re the public sector where it makes sense to have public records, blockchain aren’t the most efficient way to do it because we need to control the network. We can’t risk a mining farm taking over 51% of the workload and we certainly can’t defend even having a proof of work in a world that’s destroying the climate.

So we’d need to control the nodes anyway, and then it just doesn’t make that much sense. It may make sense for a company like Maersk who can share nodes with partners, but despite sitting on a sector which has a lot of public databases, like the land registry or ownership records, there just isn’t that much of a use for blockchain tech.

In terms of personal respect, sure.

In terms of attention given to an argument, maybe, but that's also how you end up with a narrow bubble.

FWIW, to be honest I had autism spectrum disorders in mind, though I certainly don't equate autism with handicapped general intelligence. I intentionally avoided using the term autism (even though some of the best examples I had in mind come from studies on autism spectrum disorders) as it's such a very broad label with different etiologies and different constellations of traits. An autistic child with fragile X syndrome is likely to have many objectively identifiable and severe disabilities, whereas some other child with autism might have few or no disabilities, especially in a more diverse and accommodating society that isn't organized to punish people who don't easily fit into a mold. I wanted to point out that some seemingly desirable trait can actual reflect other, categorically undesirable traits. Such value judgments are especially tricky when label like autism are thrown into the mix, and in any event I wasn't keen to attempt to identify anything in particular as negative.

Back to my original point: there are many more ways for things to go wrong than for things to go right. Similarly, abnormal faculties often coincide with abnormal deficiencies--were it otherwise genetic evolution dictates it wouldn't be abnormal. That basic calculus means that when abnormalities emerge, all things being equal and long before we can know anything about how things will play out individually, it's not rational to be envious or given to feelings of inadequacy, which is precisely what we're doing, intentionally or unintentionally, when we're drawn to stories about precocious behavior.

It was eye opening to come to learn how my spouse as well as other people I've spoken with who have studied various aspects of child development have a very different perspective on abnormal and out-of-order milestone development. At the same time, these are the people least likely to construe debilitating abnormalities in the same negative light as wider society. But they understand 1) the cold, hard calculus and 2) that any abnormality, whether widely construed as positive or negative in society, comes with a real, additional cost in time and attention, particularly for attentive parents who wish to ease their child's transition to independence given the harsh realities of the world. Simply recognizing and internalizing differences so as to avoid confusion later on in life is a real burden on everybody involved.

> I’m much more concerned about him playing the “childbirth is far more traumatic than having an abortion” card in the discussion about the patch. Until this moment, I wasn’t even aware that was a card. It’s difficult to fathom the logic that would arrive at that statement making sense to someone typing it, particularly a person who will never experience the situations upon which he’s speaking conclusively.

It's a standard talking point in the pro-abortion (I am solidly pro-choice and I use pro-abortion deliberately here) crowd who feel the need not merely to negate but to invert everything the anti-abortion right argues.
Of course airlines optimize it, but still, boarding alone takes a significant portion of the total time needed for a long-haul flight.

If I look at the latest long-haul flight I took, the flight time was 11 hours, turn-around time at airport 4 hours, for a total of 15 hours. If you'd drop the flight time to half, and manage to do accelerate boarding, cleaning, re-fueling etc in 3 hours, you'd come up with 8.5 hours. Much better, but not even close to be able to deliver twice as many flights per day. It'd be more like a 50 % improvement.
A blockchain is an immutable distributed ledger. That's all. If you have a problem for which an immutable distributed ledger is useful, and there's no one you can trust, then a blockchain may help. So far, there are not many of those.

As for programmable applications on a blockchain, see this list of successful "dApps".[1] They're mostly gambling. The top Etherium application is CryptoKitties. The big problem is that any application which relates to the real world needs reliable info from the real world, like "did it get delivered". That means trusting some data source. In which case a blockchain doesn't help much.

Most blockchain applications involve empowering something illegal somewhere. First it was drugs, then it was getting money out of China. The binary options crowd had an ICO, but the system never came up. There's proposed "blockchain FOREX". All gambling, really.

So I'm not surprised to see RMS push back on the change. I am surprised that he isn't effective at it.

glibc seems to be something that causes non-technical disputes every few years. I'm sure that's because it's central to almost everything but the kernel.

The Ridiculous Saga of Lance Armstrong
A WAF will also add an attack surface, just like anti-virus software before them.

Company X, a content publisher, has a wordpress site with a bunch of plugins. They hear that the security record of such a setup is less than ideal. They buy a WAF solution to protect them.

Company Y, also a content publisher in the same space, realizes that they don't need dynamically generated content. They don't need tons of JS. They start publishing static content and what little dynamic functionality they have is well-compartmentalized, with interactions to the outside world carefully audited.

Company Y could also get a WAF, but why? It increases the attack surface, Company Y probably don't have the time/expertise to audit it, it is not clear what benefits it will have.

I've driven in Palo Alto near 280, and from the distance, in broad daylight, I saw a buck run across an entire field at full speed and straight across the road about 3-4 cars in front of me, and get hit by the car.
