I work in infosec as well. I think you are conflating two very different things, even if both technically involve monitoring/filtering/logging/etc.

The SOC at some company will use monitoring to combat threats, and will not have interest in any sort of micromanaging or other business-related monitoring.

This topic is about use of monitoring for the purpose of micromanaging, not security.

Not really. It has rules for function naming and loops. I would set my rule as "never define a function or a loop". Once you get past a totally linear, stateless and deterministic script, stop writing bash. Roast me if you want, but my default language for this kind of stuff is Perl.

>> I’m excited about the possibilities that NNs bring in terms of new techniques and reduction of labor.

Reduction of labour is nice. Elimination of labour is problematic. To photoshop something someone has to actually photoshop it. We don't set our cameras to automatically photoshop things as we take them. The techniques in the OP are dangerous because they could be employed in situations where the photographer doesn't realize. A camera/robot trying to edit something automatically fabricating a false reality in the eyes of humans. Imagine a camera used to capture evidence of crime. You don't want such a thing filling in details on its own.

As a 20 year bash veteran: powershell is the first OS default shell that outputs structured data, and looking at objects and selecting the properties you want is a massive improvement than combining bash with sed/grep/awk to scrape text.

Someone bizarrely responds that cmd still exists on Windows for compatibility purposes (though even Win+X starts powershell now) doesn't change this at all.

The README for my powershell profile (which is written from a *nix PoV) has a little more info comparing the two: https://github.com/mikemaccana/powershell-profile

Nearly every AI scare story (Musk, Bostrom, etc) talks about the threat of thinking-AI while ignoring the increasing and immediate impact of "dumb-AI" as an extension of the blind data driven logic of today.

I wonder if it's misleading to use the term "brain" here. It's certainly interesting that RNA can modulate the synaptic activity involved in the gill siphon withdrawal reflex, but the system is pretty far from a brain.
Accountability is the reason I use platforms. I know that I could get thrown under the bus, but when everything works as it should, it's not a problem. I am not satisfied with sometimes the high commissions and cut throat competition, but there is at least the safety that I will get my payments. They are in charge in managing the legitimacy of the other user and myself. It seems that the problem arises from the "reputation" points and I think that the best way to solve that is coming up with a new system than an arbitrary 5 star review system

Very little. He did some work on what would now be called mutational "recovery" of frame shift insertion/deletion variants in phages, for about a year on sabbatical. Which at the time would have been enough for him to have predicted several aspects about the genetic code, such as DNA triplets forming codons. Which was funnily enough anticipated by George Gamow around the same time looking at the number of naturally occurring amino acids and the number of nucleobases.
I'm sure it would have been different, yes. I don't know if they expected to be invited to every WWDC, but I remember the developer saying he had good access at Apple because they loved his app so much.

When he announced his Android version, Apple kinda stopped returning his calls and engineers would not give him as much time for questions and help. He went from VIP to nobody.
Slow? Maybe. Ugly? I find it rather elegant.
Back when I used to manage libraries that were required and required other libraries, I only ever really "knew" when particular version of a dependency didn't work. Do you ever really know that something works? No, there may always be a bug, some way things interact poorly. From a maintainer's point of view there are things like:

1. Probably this dependency version works, because I have no reason to believe otherwise

2. This dependency existed at the time I released a version of my library

3. This dependency existed, and I used it during testing and development

4. This dependency is co-maintained, so future versions of the dependency are likely to be compatible per semantic versioning

5. My library means nothing to this dependency, and they may or may not break it based on their whims

6. We don't really talk, but if there's an issue whoever you tell first may well fix it

7. I will release dot-releases to make sure future versions of the dependency are supported

8. I have specifically confirmed certain versions of my library and the dependency are incompatible

Most of these assertions are social and incomplete. Assuming a version, once released, is never changed or retracted, then one of the few firm guarantees you can declare is incompatibility. Declaring compatibility doesn't make it so, it only indicates a desire (and it's not even clear whose desire).

On top of that, compatibility should really be more like metadata, not included in the package. Compatibility and incompatibility is a discovery process (along with security).

In practice it's fine though, because it's ultimately the integrator (the person making some actual application) who has the responsibility to ensure everything works together.
>software should not be updated to accomodate for broken systems.

Its not. The software was written, and maintains, backwards compatibility with systems that predate or partially predate the spec. The spec was written to be backwards compatible with those systems. Using the backwards compatibility option is correct if you wish to maintain backwards compatibility. Consider that Arch also technically violates Pep 394,

> for the time being, all distributions should ensure that python, if installed, refers to the same target as python2

We shouldn't update the shebangs in all of our software ever to accommodate a misbehaving, spec-non-compliant distro, should we?

Could you give a citation for that "love for the ancient and medievals was akin to the word passion"? My understanding of that love-to-passion link is by way of Christianity, i.e. love as the motivation for the suffering (of Jesus). Otherwise, etymology doesn't show/suggest that sort of change in the meaning of "love" (e.g. http://www.oed.com/viewdictionaryentry/Entry/110566). If anything, there's been a change in the meaning of "passion" (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/passion).

I often think about this Bruce Sterling quote on The WELL from 2004:

``I'll believe in people settling Mars at about the same time I see people settling the Gobi Desert. The Gobi Desert is about a thousand times as hospitable as Mars and five hundred times cheaper and easier to reach. Nobody ever writes "Gobi Desert Opera" because, well, it's just kind of plonkingly obvious that there's no good reason to go there and live. It's ugly, it's inhospitable and there's no way to make it pay. Mars is just the same, really. We just romanticize it because it's so hard to reach.``

> Bash doesn't scale.

Thanks mate, I had a good laugh.

I wouldn't expect bash to scale anyway. That's not what it's meant for. It's meant for system administration task automation.

On a more serious note ...

In many occasions, the performance you get depends on how you tackle the problem you have, though. Even using bash and the tools from the unix toolbox, sometimes you can gain significant improvements on how you manage your data.

Anecdotal: I cannot remember the details, but I remember that rearranging the order of sorting and searching and removing duplicates (sort, sort -u, grep, uniq mainly) I saw a significant speedup.

Anecdotal (2): I cut the execution time of a night-running job from hours to minutes (tens of minutes, to be honest - but still less than an hour) just by slicing the size of a problem into smaller parts and by handling each slice in parallel (the machine had 48 cpus, but the problem was being solved "sequentially" on one cpu alone). I wrote some 30-50 lines of python, just to implement parallelism control: the rest of the problem was still handled with bash script. Partial results were reassembled at the end. Bash has coprocesses, so I might have handled that in bash as well, but python was more handy at the time (meh, i just wanted to optimize that problem).

What I am trying to say is that sometimes the "scaling" you get is justified by the size of the problem, sometimes it's not.
Unsubscribe from r/politics and subscribe to r/writingprompts instead. You get free short stories, a good way to read a little something before bed. Just implement a limit of some sort on yourself. "I'll only read 2 stories per night" or something like that. I keep my reddit super positive: DIY, programming, fitness, wholesomememes, finance. That's the beauty of it, you can control that content.

I try to keep HN as my only news source. I still know about the big stuff but I don't get super weighed down. I donate to a charity I know is doing good and focus on what I can do to improve things. I can't fix all the madness in the world but if I focus on a narrow strip of life that I can reach I can have more positive impact than I would sitting around stressed and sad.
Not really. Snowden caused a lot of people to think that everything ever leaked out of the NSA and all changes in perception of the NSA were caused by Snowden. But that is a somewhat different thing.
The Tesla website is basically one huge marketing platform/advertisement, so that's one thing. Every time there's an open house at one of their stores where they have talks by some celebrity is a marketing event. They often host events where you can come test drive their cars (they did a lot of these when "ludicrous mode" came out, and you could go test it out on a big empty racetrack) is a marketing event. Every press conference where they announce a new feature/product is a marketing event. This [1] is a marketing event. Another large part of any company's marketing is building relationships with media outlets to feed them information and build up hype. They also have a social media team as part of their marketing department, so there's a decent chance that some of the comments you see on reddit or HN or elsewhere are Tesla employees astroturfing.

Ironically, the entire myth that Tesla has a "$0 marketing budget" is the result of, you guessed it, good work from Tesla's marketing department. Marketing/advertising is much, much more than just commercials and billboards.

The mentioned "file transfer shell-program" somehow was so important that it has to run on AIX and Linux and every other OS under the sun, yet it was somehow not important enough to be written in non-sh.

And I feel the same with targeting POSIX sh.

Unless you have a really good business niche - like the aforementioned ftp script, use a proper language.

Yes, sysadmins were opposed to installing Bash. But if your core product depends on Bash and only on Bash, maybe I'd be opposed to everything about that deployment too.

And at the same time, I understand that there are IT tasks well suited to be solved with a script. But those don't seem to be the ones that require uber-portability.

If I need to setup something on a fleet of VMS-es, I'll use whatever I can get away with (including a lot of controlled substances to handle the dread of handling VMS), and won't think about what happens if we port this to HP-UX in the year 2525.

That's why I use Windows. It's got better file and window management than Mac, more software, more hardware and more hooks to let me do what I want.

After I read this I immediately installed Firefox for the first time in 15 years. I used to use it exclusively then moved to Chrome and others when the app was getting bloated long time ago. I thought, after reading this, now is the time to switch!

I installed it and even on a 1-year-old Macbook Pro, holy cow it's acting like I'm doing machine learning training -- the computer fan goes into overdrive with every little thing I do in this browser!

This is on a raw install with no browser extensions other than this FB container mentioned in the article (which comes with the installation).

It appears this is a many-months-long known issue about the new Firefox. Disappointing.

Back to Chrome....

Flying a VIP (semi-private) airline avoids all of this, and surely anyone that would take a rocket is already flying a fully private airline.

Using this as an example because I make this trip often: I can fly Cincinnati, OH to Charlotte, NC on a VIP airline for $500 round trip. I drive my car right up to the plane, and there is a rental car waiting for me at the plane exit on the other side. The entire plane is first class only. There is no baggage check, no TSA, no nothing. I can walk on to the plane 5 minutes before takeoff.

ML-style Pattern Matching in C# (2009)
The quote you provide shows a breakdown in process, not software. Wherever this human being is, they do not have access to the information provided beforehand (lack of communication between human software and phone software), did not look/can't find it (lack of training), or they have to go through a checklist of processes regardless of information provided (managers don't trust the phone system to do the job right).

Either way, I do not understand your correlation between that quote and how your lines of code disappear - as with all things, when a company does, sometimes so do the products they offer - there is nothing different here.
It was in fact the justification for the first commercial airplane travel in general. Initially only well off people traveled by commercial passenger plane. It was extremely dangerous and very uncomfortable.

Fortunately we didn't stop our pursuit of progress due to such challenges. Now 3.5 billion or so passengers take extraordinarily safe, comfortable flights every year.
60 minutes is reasonable. IIRC my mixed colors setting (what I use except for bedding or towels) takes 45 min. I don't have an eco mode. Since we don't have a water heater in the washing machine itself, the only thing that would really save any electricity would be to turn off the spin cycle, but I like dry clothes so that's not gonna happen ;)

It seems you grossly misunderstand ethics by portraying it as some kind of arbitrary system (or "framework" per your word choice, a word I've come to despise) imposed on people, or some kind of code voluntarily adopted but ultimately without ground. People may disagree about what is good, or what the correct moral principles are, but that does not mean there isn't a proper object of study and that that object is objective and universal. Cultures can be wrong. People can be wrong. People can be ignorant. Their moral intuitions and their ethical judgments can be deformed and at odds with the truth.

In any case, moral skepticism and moral relativism are not only worthless, but incoherent and untenable and nothing anyone of any philosophical sophistication holds to. It is the quintessential freshman philosophy student's position, a position born out of ignorance and teenage rebelliousness rather than the careful exercise of reason.
As you can see from the data[0] the city itself raises tax through a variety of channels. The largest being property, business, and retail taxes. As you can imagine, when the city grows all those enumerated taxes grow accordingly. As you can see in data[1] the tax receipts for the years 2000 is roughly $600ish million. For the 17-18 fiscal years, according to data[0] Seattle had receipts of $1.1-1.2 billion.

So tax revenues for the city are close to 100% increase. If you see the Census for the year 2000, the population of Seattle is at 564k. For the year 2016, the population is at 750k or so. So a 100% tax revenue increase and a 50% population increase. I'd dare say the city council is just belligerent with other people's money.

Also, there is a legitimate far left socialist on the board. You should watch the Shapiro debate against the Seattle $15 min wage. She's full of ideas with no substance to back it up.

If Ford switched from selling cars, to only leasing cars... and there was any sort of lock-in to a Ford ecosystem, you would have something pretty similar.

If Apple wants to claim it leases MacOS with the sale of a Mac, that's fine but it's horrible anti-consumer and If they ever attempted to enforce it, i'd expect legislation to knock it back. It's probably already unenforceable in much of the world.

If it's truly a lease, it should also have a time limit when it reverts ownership back to Apple... surely otherwise it's just a one-off payment for permanent rights to use MacOS.

I don’t understand all the hate for bash or python in this thread.

These are programming languages. Like all programming languages one must understand how to deploy them and use them properly. Yes bash has faults absolutely. It can be very arcane and esoteric and I think this due to the fact that it’s creators are very much of the old 1970s and 1980s Unix mindset and largely bash tools still feel like they work the way they did back then

Python is also a tool. I have written scripts in python to manage processes do forking etc and it too has some warts. It is also used by companies tohat deploy thousands of lines of code or more. Yes it isn’t statically typed and yes you can get into a box but guys no single language is objectively superior to another.

So learn them like you would any other tool and move on.

It seems like a good book, but I think this is fair criticism. It skips some of the basic FP concepts that you mentioned, and is surprisingly heavy on more advanced topics (e.g. category theory, which I personally enjoy).

Most of the book isn't really a beginner's guide. A more accurate title might be "JavaScript for Haskell Programmers".
