This seems like an extension of the very old antidebugging/antitracing trick of checking the timestamp counter --- the question then becomes, are the HPCs read-only and how are they read? Because a rootkit might just as easily feed the "nominal" values to whatever application is reading them.

You mean without a close()? You probably shouldn’t try to get around that. It’s not always great but you could set SO_REUSEADDR to let the stack let you open a new socket on the same port after you close the first.

The latter, because it doesn't scale. Google is just a middleman that with the help of tracking sells lots of badly targetted ads cheaply. Google doesn't care for stuff that cannot be automated to a large degree.

Now without tracking you have to actually understand the audience and the product, this research will make advertising more expensive but also in many cases have better success.

And suddenly there is no reason to rely on google.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a lack of proper regulation for organic food products? The USDA fine is "only" $11,000 -- that's nothing for major distributors. I've always heard that it's impossible for the Certified Organic label to be regulated properly due to sheer volume, and most people don't know the difference between that and just buying something labeled "organic" (which has absolutely no regulation).
To answer my own question, it's a bit redundant but I need both.

uBlock also handles network stuff, but the difference is that uBlock can also block specific elements on the page, eg, divs by id or class.

What's a good affordable router well supported by Tomato/OpenWRT, these days? (put differently: 2018's version of the Linksys WRT54G :)

From what I understand, alternative firmwares like Tomato & OpenWRT are not inherently safe from VPNFilter, but it seems to me the rate at which they are maintained make them less easy targets (?). So this new flaw made me think now is a good time to replace my crappy router and its unmaintained vendor firmware with something more solid running Tomato/OpenWRT. Disagreements?

Does anyone know if this affects routers flashed with LEDE/DD-WRT?
Their equation is cute, but this really isn't remotely surprising and the implications aren't as significant as they imply. The result relies heavily on the fact that their theta parameter has infinite precision. You can encode as much information as you want in a single real number with infinite precision. Think of it this way: a single precision float requires 4 bytes to store while a double requires 8. If all you need is single precision, then you can store two floats inside of one double variable with each occupying 4 of the 8 bytes. Now replace the double with an infinite precision number that takes infinite bytes to represent. Once you have an infinite number of bytes to work with, you can pack in as many floats of finite precision in there as you want. That's basically what they're doing here, they just have a simple closed form expression for decoding it.

The reason that the implications are a bit overblown is that their model is tremendously and chaotically dependent on the value of theta. The plots that they include in the paper require hundreds of thousands of digits of precision in the model parameter. Nobody evaluates a model based simply on how well it fits the data and its number of parameters; you also look at how well the model parameters are constrained and what the uncertainty bands on the fit are. With this model, theta would be completely unconstrained and their uncertainty bands would cover the entire range of the data that they're fitting. It simply doesn't matter how many parameters you have when that's the case, it means that your fit is useless.
> Very cross-platform out of the box. Not “sort-of cross-platform as long as it’s unix” like C/C++

Wut? Firstly, no it's not. I have to drop into MinGW just to interface with native libs statically. Many languages don't do this. Secondly, C++ is very at home on Windows. Not a very good FFI story for something that is very cross-platform that it only binds w/ C libs with only one Unix compiler (gcc). It's like you got the phrasing exactly backwards and need to switch Go and C/C++.

> Go feels under-engineered because it only solves real problems.

Until I list the ones it doesn't. Or are they not "real"?

You know what? I'm not reading these things anymore. We know the type...supposedly senior devs writing a bunch of words about one language over another, cherry picking specific things for both to fit the narrative. I feel like this is how Michael Moore would write blog posts comparing languages. Sorry to hop on this article like this, saw it a couple of days ago with the Java/Kotlin blog post too and I'm seeing it every so often. And I like Go and Java. I'm afraid I just don't see these language opinions as that valuable anymore since I write in them all myself and know better.

Edit: In retrospect, probably a bit harsh. But I'd prefer the journalistic lang X does this but not this approach over the op-ed.

It sounds like you are either looking for a front end designer, or a front end engineer who happens to also be a front end designer. The designer role itself also gets split up into different parts like graphic designer, UX designer, etc. but sometimes multiple hats are worn, of course.

In the meantime, before finding one of these people, you could read up on a few very basic design principles and apply those. Or find some canned design templates to use.

Let's start that AIC is misused here as it is valid only when you have a likelihood function for the data. The mentioned scatter plots do not have any (or have something assumed) for prior. Likewise BIC.

The posterior likelihood function has very interesting values for this logistic map fit.

This is on the level of "gotcha". Usually the AIC and BIC are supposed to be negative for a correct model and the for is supposed to have a quantifiable information loss.

My objection to GMOs is not the gene modifications; it is that in practice they're modified to allow an increased use of pesticides/herbicides such as glysophate. I'd rather not have glysophate in my food. However, this is difficult to quantify, and often disputed by industry groups.

Ideally, the use of pesticides/herbicides would be tracked throughout the entire supply chain, so that consumers could have an accurate accounting of the use of pesticides on the food they're consuming. Sadly, the odds of this happening are nil, so we're left with the choice of buying organic and hoping the pesticides/herbicides they used aren't too bad for us. Of course, we can also buy directly from farmers, but that is not practical for most of us, and certainly not for all of our foods.

I just want to be able to choose my poison ;)
The profit motive, when it gets into a fighting stance against something with a very different agenda, will usually come out ahead. The original purpose of the 'media', or journalism and the digital and print press which is its media, is to disseminate information.

The direction/bias of the authors can be one of many things:
- state actors attempting to disseminate ideas of the state and influence readers in its favor
- state actors with a directive to attempt to be a place for different voices to be heard
- private actors attempting to promote the spread of their ideas
- private actors attempting to promote the spread of unique / diverse ideas
.. skipping further down the muckraking hole
- private actors attempting to promote eyes on their ideas, no matter what they are, because pairs of eyes have become more profitable thanks to programmatic advertising and the brokering of digital space next to the ideas.

The word journalism conjures up the image of a flak-jacket-donning hero risking life to get to the truth to dissemminate it to the masses. That's how the word journalist is understood in the context of an article like this Slate article. But journalism also has one writer who actually writes the article, and someone(s) who write numerous headlines and tests them out programmatically in order to get the most clicks, and selects that headline for the article in question. It's all done very quickly. Thus, clickbait.

Thus, the profit motive.

Does TV Media suffer from that? Of course - it's been well documented how uncomfortable stories on the lines of CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and such can lead to advertisers pulling revenue.

But one major difference is that in the by now old days of TV media journalism, YOU go TO the information (by flipping to the channel). Today, stuff goes FROM the Internet TO you because they know you better than you know yourself. Facebook news feeds, personalized news search results, programmatic 'click here' type imagery in our periphery -- all of that seriously questions what journalism has become. Or perhaps, how it's packaged.

On Go-the-language, I agree. It takes a few things from PL design that have widely been shown to be helpful and packages them up in a simple language that C/Java programmers can use to be productive in an hour or so.

The implementation is a different story. It was really goofy to implement a new compiler backend, garbage collector, scheduler, calling conventions, and hey, why not make have the standard library make syscalls directly, what could possibly go wrong? The result has been the last several years has largely been spent reimplementing solved problems (basic compiler optimizations, a GC which is competitive with JVMs from 15 years ago, etc) rather than actually evolving the language.

In short, I wish they'd stuck with their "just do a few things well" philosophy in both language design and implementation.

Nothing at all. His point is just that there's cognitive burden associated with making those kinds of decisions in Swift, and there isn't in Go, because you don't have those options. All things considered, he prefers Swift. But he's productive in Go as well.

I've had similar experiences. I find that for some problems --- not all of them --- I can drill in quicker in Go, because the problem is all I can really think about; there isn't enough elbow room in the language to really spread out and work on the task of making things elegant.

At my last company, I found that writing an emulator in Go was super straightforward, and I think Go made that task easier than a "better" language like Clojure or Swift would have. But in addition to an emulator, we also wrote a compiler, and writing a compiler and SSA optimizer in Go was fairly unpleasant. Not prohibitively so, but enough that I noticed it.
Most of these devices are insecure not because the attackers are hyper-sophisticated, but because the software is rushed and a second-thought to the hardware. There is no one (in power) at these companies that cares about crafting quality software. They just care about crafting the bare minimum to make their devices work.

I wager that "security" is something fairly far from their mind when they craft this software, which I consider especially negligent for any company that is dealing in networked devices.

redhat couldn't engineer an operating system to save their life: systemd is a Windows-like system, they constantly break backwards compatibility, their compiler is purposely castrated to only produce 64-bit code, memory overcommit is still a thing and ships out of the box turned on, they can't get NFS to work correctly and haven't been able to for decades, they can't get fiberchannel to work correctly, they resisted and sabotaged XFS for decades only to now make it a default after having made their customers to suffer with ext2, 3, and 4 for twenty years, they resist ZFS, they've allowed netstat to be deprecated in favor of ss, both GFS and GFS 2 are disasters which they could never get to work correctly, Puppet is a disaster, Saltstack is a disaster, Cobbler is a disaster, Satellite / Spacewalk is a disaster... seriously, what can redhat do correctly?

They spend more time arguing with paying customers on bugzilla.redhat.com than fixing their code because it's easier to argue than to find out where the problem is, or to solve the problem properly.

The captain preferred a graphic representation, even
