A few things you can do: 1) place Nginx in front of the webhooks service (it will allow you to filter traffic by IP, request headers, etc - a bit less efficient than a proper firewall IP filter). 2) listen for webhooks on a port other than 443 (GitHub allows this). 3) use a unique URL for webhooks, with a unique/random/long token as part of the URL (this way only someone who knows the exact URL will be able to reach it). 4) of course, use a valid TLS certificate 5) validate all headers sent by GitHub (user-agent, x-github-delivery, etc). 5) provide a unique/random/long shared "secret", different from the URL token, for validating the sha1 signature of the request. 6) only accept a valid JSON payload and application/json content-type. 7) only accept specific events from the x-github-event header (ex: push, ping). 8) reject EVERYTHING ELSE with a 404. 9) validate the actual content of the JSON payload (does it contain the proper key/value pairs you need? discard the rest). 10) enable audit-logging of requests, so you can see any attempts at people trying to "hack" your webhooks service.

I recommend running the webhooks (external service) as an entirely different application from your internal services. If it's a nodejs app, and your main internal app is nodejs, then you'll need to run 2 nodejs processes (and not as root).

Also if you can, try running the webhooks service on an entirely different machine (vm?) - and have it talk to Jenkins through the network (ex: as others have suggested with a message queue or API call).

If you're filtering by IP (might be troublesome if GitHub's IP range changes), most of the above will be overkill.

Edit: to answer your last question: security is a process, whether it's full-time or not depends on how much you care.

I don't know if it is large organizations in general, more specifically it seems to be the N.Y.C. media. They are so stuck in their hidebound style guides and rules that they apply them even when they are wrong.

N.Y.C. itself is another of their rules: put the dots in anything that seems like it might be an acronym or initialism, even when when the rest of the world stopped using the dots decades ago. When was the last time you saw NYC spelled as N.Y.C. anywhere, except for the N.Y.C. media?

These organizations will always write I.B.M., F.B.I., C.I.A., H.P., and so forth, even when those companies and organizations themselves do not use the dots in their official names.

What I can't answer, though, is your question: why do they insist on this even when it contradicts the correct usage?
Interesting, thank you for the explanation! I am indeed seeing a lot of Tj's and BT/ET's, but not any TJ's.

Immediately preceding the Tj's are a lot of non-text characters that don't look like anything human-readable. Immediately following them are other other commands (Td, Tf, rg, k, etc.) which are preceded by numbers. There are no CustomEncodings. So I guess this means I can't really grep anything?

Yeah, a leaking pipe is essentially full pressure, just a low flow rate. It will only last until the void fills with water and then it will pressurize to the line's pressure.
Most of the things that are "curious" about DNS I think comes from its lack of a version.

DNS has no version, so it has no obvious way to extend itself by allowing for graceful upgrades. So you can't just change behavior and have clients support a particular version. Everything has to be backwards compatible with something written in 1984.

The only serious attempt at extending DNS died because the specs and DNS admins allowed the extension mechanism to be optional. Now, most networks break the extension, and the DNS just limps along because nobody is willing to implement a sane upgrade path.
I totally agree with your point! It doesn't necessary to provide a perfect sensor or an expensive VR experience. All we need is developing the production not so mature but containing all the cheap and good enough utilities. With the success of switch, I believe that the higher performance or experience of switch will be released to the market in the future.
Pioneers are willing to take risks, sometimes even with their lives and many with their reputations.

Followers are more risk averse, they prefer to follow a trail that was blazed before them.

I think the distinction is true in the original sense of the people who pushed ahead into the Wild West as well as for less physically demanding and risky adventures, like hacking into corporate computer systems.

To distribute or not to distribute? Why licensing bugs matter
Oh wow I totally disagree. I have always found the computer science usage of "orthogonal" to be very analogous to orthogonal sets in linear algebra. It is only in two dimensions that it boils down to right angles; That's the uninteresting case! The more general concept is one of independence, of something being broken down into its constituent parts, such that each part is pulling its weight in some way that even all the other parts combined could not. Which is exactly how I see it being used here. I still remember the moment my programming languages professor introduced the concept of orthogonality in that field; I intuitively grasped the meaning and was awed by that power of analogy.
Being alone in the galaxy and being alone in the universe seem to be casually equated but are vastly different in every possible way (except perhaps any practical consequences).
Two other factors that play a big role in not detecting life in the universe is:

1) it's a really big place. It's likely we can't see that far yet.

2) Will we be here a million years from now? Two million? Other civilizations could have come and gone dozens of times in our galaxy alone before we were here. And dozens may come and go after we're gone.
>> we can say with greater confidence – based on what we know

CAs bet the farm on the idea that doing two separate DNS queries instead of one will keep them safe. This is a ridiculous assumption. Sophisticated attackers can often successfully attack multiple targets at once.

They can use a secondary challenge, but this being optional completely defeats the purpose. A MITM attack will allow an attacker to pretend to be the target during creation of a new cert, tricking a random CA into giving them a valid cert. You do not need to use the CA that the site owners use, so their use of an extra challenge is irrelevant.

You write: "Every time there is a hurricane, it seems that it catches everyone unaware .. most people don't have any contingency plan or emergency supplies."

I don't think it's quite that pessimistic. I was raised in FL, and know that many people do prepare. To give some concrete numbers:

"An AAA survey released Monday -- the first day of the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season -- finds that 42 percent of Florida and Georgia residents do not make advanced preparations for tropical weather." - https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/aaa-survey-42-dont-prepa...

"AAA released a survey on Thursday finding 81 percent of Floridians are already making preparations for hurricanes, up from 58 percent in 2016." - http://spacecoastdaily.com/2018/06/aaa-report-most-floridian... .

Why the improvement? According to the last link: “Major hurricanes like Harvey and Irma seem to be making residents more aware of the dangers of hurricane season and the need to make advanced preparations,” Futch said.

That said, I haven't found the published survey results and I don't know what "preparations" means. I suspect many are underprepared. Then again, underprepared is different from "don't have any."
1. Space is very, very large.
2. Traveling between stars takes a very long time.
3. Other than a desire for exploration there is no need. Resources and planets are plentiful.
4. It now appears there is only an extremely brief window during which a technological species broadcasts in a detectable way.

#4 is probably the biggest problem. Digital compressed broadcasts would be difficult to detect, and by the time you have that technology you can build much more sensitive receivers and don't waste energy dumping millions of watts into space.

There could be 1000 intelligent species in the Milky Way right now and it is still unlikely any would visit our solar system within the past 10,000 years, nor in the next 10,000 and we would not be able to detect their faint compressed, encrypted broadcasts.

> Thus, the real information is still strongly dominated by beliefs about the width and centering of the distributions, which we still don't know, and as long as enough of the parameters have high uncertainty with some potentially having near-zero values, the result will always tend towards zero.

You state this like it is a problem. I think it's more like a feature?

My take on the main point of the paper: it is commonplace to derive probabilities for being alone in the universe by plugging in point estimates into Drake Equation, but one should take into account that, in fact, we have lots uncertainty in our estimates for the parameters, and without quantifying that uncertainty, the Drake's Equation indeed will produce biased estimates. And if we quantify the uncertainty, we end up with wide distributions (that have some of their mass near zero).

edit. Your point about N = 1 is interesting, though.

edit2. Concerning N = 1: They don't elaborate on it in writing, but if I'm reading the sec 4.0.2 correctly, they do account for our existence in their spatial Poisson update: P(no detection | N, d) = 1 - exp(-(4/3) pi d^3 lambda) = 1 - P("number of civilizations in sphere of radius d when rate is lambda" = 0) = P("number of civilizations in sphere ..." > 0).

edit3. wait, that does not make sense, does it. shouldn't P( no detection | N, d) be P("number of civilizations in sphere when rate is lambda" = 1) = (4/3) pi d^3 lambda exp(-(4/3) pi d^3 lambda), as per spatial Poisson process P(K = 1). now I'm just confused.

You just missed the point again. That's not the implication at all. The implication is not that they did the same thing, it's that they did a different thing, which is simpler, but is still a good solution for the metric they are optimizing: fun.

a) the kind of ship required to travel interstellar at a reasonable pace, such as a nuclear termal rocket or antimatter rocket or the like, is pretty well understood in theory. It will glow like a galactic beacon and would be visible from vastly further away than 100 light years. Unless we're somehow technologically ahead of all other existing civs in our light window, should see somewhere, anywhere, anywhen, a single ship. But we don't. There just ain't ships out there.

(b) I agree. We have all reasons to believe it is not possible to accelerate something with mass to 'c'. We know this with astronomical levels of certainty. Anything that changes location without acceleration is either pure energy or pure fantasy.

(c) I agree. Even Dyson spheres don't have the raw energy capture to move an Earth of resources out of the sun's gravity well. Perhaps an Earth has rare and valuable resources that are quickly expended, with high value per kilogram. But there's no reason to believe an Earth would be special. The only real reason aliens have to contact us are the same reasons they'd try to immediately genocide us to get us out of their way anyway.

(d) this is an entire field of xenospeculation, but high energy rockets are really bright and very probably the only way to get to a different place in space. You pretty much have to talk microbe scale to go unnoticed in space.

[Edit, misread point b]

There are things like WAL and snapshots. Having your dataset in RAM and querying directly doesn't exclude persisting it to disk. Read Stonebraker's "The End of an Architectural Era"[0]. Basically the OP is right in that SQL DBs were designed assuming that RAM was scarce and that asumption is no longer valid. They are innefficient for every common use case. By at least an order of magnitude.

#1 is a lot crazier, and more like: "we can only look at specific places, our detectors can only detect things which degrade as distance increases, and we might not be listening at the right frequency. So even if there were a civilization in this tiny, tiny region of the universe we are looking at, if they are too far away/obscured by debris/gas clouds, using wavelengths we aren't actively monitoring, we don't see them.

Why is this even still a question... every single time you boil a pot of water convection rolls form. According to equilibrium thermodynamics it is vanishingly improbable that Avogrado's numbers worth of molecules will conspire together to act in a coordinated fashion to form those rolls... yet it happens every time.

The convection rolls win out over diffusion because they dissipate heat faster and there is only so much heat. Life is no different. A structured low entropy process that dissipates energy faster than diffusion - there's no paradox or anything about emergent complexity.

The fundamental concepts here are pretty simple and any discussion concerning P(life) need to start by understanding what life is in the first place and how it can arise.

Point being: life isn't a rare thing or a mystery, anywhere in the universe you find energy gradients you'll find life.

There just isn't a conversation to have here. If we're alone it's because we're first. But we are almost certainly not alone. The universe is just really fucking big.
I think it's important to consider observations in the context in which they were made. PG made those observations back in 2008. Things have evolved substantially since then. SF (and other coastal cities) are much different today than they were 10 years ago, as are rust belt cities and those in the south, heartland etc.
I agree. Just because there might be a large number of stars without a habitable planet does not decrease the number of alien civilizations; it only reduces the likelihood that a given solar system would have such a civilization. Or to put it in other words, just because the haystack is large doesn't mean there is no needle present.

I think there is definitely an existential crisis in the West. I can’t think of a time when society was this pessimistic, this focused on individual improvement and this divided financially, and I was an adult in the 80’ies.

I recently hired for a temporary junior position and the applicants blew me away. It’s the first time I’ve truest vitnessed the product of the competitive state, these 22-24 year olds were spending all of their time trying to prepare for the job market, not because they seemed to want to, but because they didn’t want to fall behind their peers, as one of them said bluntly when I asked why she never seemed to take time off.

I can’t imagine how terrible that constant performance pressure must be. Especially if you’re not in the top 80%.

Ironically I can’t really think of a time where things were really better than they are now. So I’m not entirely sure where this pessimism and performance anxiety comes from. Rising inequality is a problem though, if left unchecked it almost always leads to violent instability.

Yes, the Drake equation seems quite pointless because multiplying many unknowns by one another doesn't reduce uncertainty, it increases it. I don’t know anything about the history of the Drake equation, but it looks possible it was devised to demonstrate the unknownability of the result, rather than a tool to help find it.

Also, the article seems to use "our galaxy" and "the universe" as interchangeable terms, which of course they are not.

I don’t see how the Fermi paradox is a paradox: given the distances involved and what we know about the speed of light, an alien civilization would have had to develop a very long time ago in order to send signals that we would be able to detect today. Just because, maybe, no civilization was able to do that a billion years ago doesn’t mean nothing happened since (as you say, at least we happened).

We just don’t know.
