I've read that some hospitals have standard procedure to change out of the work clothing before leaving the facility. Certainly a smart move for high risk situations and areas/patients with contact procedures in place.

No official support, but you can easily access the content read/write in multiple ways. I've used such a few years ago with a FUSE module, written in OCaml. The only complicated, annoying thing was getting authentication to work.

I'd be very interested to see numbers on the success rates of lookalike phishing sites once people get used to AMP and stop checking URLs to see if they're in a valid location. I wonder if you could somehow track this with google trends over the next year or so?
I'm also curious about your source on the last category being most common.

If by "most common" you mean "affecting most voters worldwide", it's possible a number of high-population countries with flagrant corruption in elections may bias this figure, but overall—particularly in, say, West Virginia (which I guess is what inspired this comic)—I would imagine the 3rd category would be the least prevalent, particularly as it's the easiest to detect.
ARTISTRY IN THE INFORMATION AGE (A PRIMER)
rsync.net seems to get mentioned around here every now and again. I haven't used them though personally, so not sure of good/bad/etc.

Unlike what their name (rsync) suggests, they do seem to support Windows clients and aren't *nix only:

Another important difference is computer systems themselves are inherently general purpose [0], unlike a physical machine - An airplane cannot be subverted to calculate the GDP of the United States, but all Turing machines are created equal. Another difference is computer systems are generally open to unpredictable external inputs [0], unlike a physical machine - An airplane is not needed to be designed under the assumption that an adversary would use weather modification to destroy it.

[0] Unless specialized designs are used explicitly in hardware and software, similar to those which are found in embedded industrial control systems, which removes these uncertainties to a large extent. But they are rarely used in practice because of its difficulties and cost.

As Bruce Schneier written in Cryptography Engineering,

One of the biggest differences between security systems and almost any other type of engineering is the adversarial setting. Most engineers have to contend with problems like storms, heat, and wear and tear. All of these factors affect designs, but their effect is fairly predictable to an experienced engineer. Not so in security systems. Our opponents are intelligent, clever, malicious, and devious; they’ll do things nobody had ever thought of before. They don’t play by the rules, and they are completely unpredictable. That is a much harder environment to work in.

Many of us remember the film in which the Tacoma Narrows suspension bridge wobbles and twists in a steady wind until it breaks and falls into the water [1]. It is a famous piece of film, and the collapse taught bridge engineers a valuable lesson. Slender suspension bridges can have a resonance mode in which a steady wind can cause the whole structure to oscillate, and finally break. How do they prevent the same thing from happening with newer bridges? Making the bridge significantly stronger to resist the oscillations would be too expensive. The most common technique used is to change the aerodynamics of the bridge. The deck is made thicker, which makes it much harder for the wind to push up and down on the deck. Sometimes railings are used as spoilers to make the bridge deck behave less like a wing that lifts up in the wind. This works because wind is fairly predictable, and does not change its behavior in an active attempt to destroy the bridge.

A security engineer has to take a malicious wind into account. What if the wind blows up and down instead of just from the side, and what if it changes directions at the right frequency for the bridge to resonate? Bridge engineers will dismiss this kind of talk out of hand: ‘‘Don’t be silly, the wind doesn’t blow that way.’’ That certainly makes the bridge engineers’ jobs much easier. Cryptographers don’t have that luxury. Security systems are attacked by clever and malicious attackers. We have to consider all types of attack.

Most of the blog seems to be about the difference between copyleft and permissive without saying so. Even so, permissively licenced software was necessary to get the ball rolling. Copyleft may have not caught on in the same way (in products rather than used to host) but you can't separate out the engagement of the software from the licence.
I thought this a while ago, but there are some people whose entire online identity revolves around sharing and propagating outrage. Which is to say I think that even if the things people get outraged about were to reduce, I think that people would in turn get outraged about smaller things.
Possibly, but my partner finds the work extremely enriching. I'd hate to upset that balance as well.

Powerful Affirmations for Self-Love
There is Romanian satirical website that has the fact that it is satirical next to it's logo. When they published a joke about the french troops, the "news" were discussed seriously on french TV.
In that case it might have been helpful if you stated that you were shifting the context away from FTP; as was the context in the GPs comment. ;)

NFS and AFS (from what limited I know of it) are more designed for local networks thus to leverage NFS over a WAN you'd then need to tunnel your connection (eg via SSH or VPN). So while there is obviously overlap between them and Dropbox I wouldn't really say the two are all that comparable.

However to answer your point, I don't think anyone would disagree with the specific part of your point regarding how simplicity is often better than something arguably more powerful. However just because something is simple it doesn't mean it isn't also good. "Good" is just a question of whether it meets requirements. If your requirement is that it can be installed and operated by layman then Dropbox is a far better solution than any other the other proposals you've mentioned.
That's how Reddit's "The Donald" was born. It was basically satire that attracted the real followers and eventually got overrun by them.

>Many ignore the fact there's a car behind them and force me to overtake dangerously rather than going to single-file. //

FWIW cyclists are allowed to ride 2 abreast in the UK (occupying the full lane), the correct procedure as with any slow moving traffic in front of you is to be patient and wait for a safe place to pass.

A cyclist riding close to the kerb increases danger, you invite cars to pass at higher speed and you leave no margin for error then - one wiggle and you're toast.
For those interested in open source alternatives, syncthing, NextCloud (fork of ownCloud), and Seafile are some of the big names in this space, as others have mentioned. Personally I'm on syncthing. It's one of the best pieces of software I've ever used. My only complaint is it's not really instantaneous for me. In theory it works with inotify, but I've never quite been able to get it to work. I'm confident it will eventually, though. It's a fairly new feature if I'm not mistaken. For now, if I really just need to get a file from point A to point B right now, I used File Pizza.

Oh I very much agree with you - there has been a fundamental change in as little as one generation as to what 'life' is for men, with traditional roles thrown out the window. Combine this with difficult economic times for young men and it's a recipe for this kind of thing.

For those who can't forge their own path they'll find someone that accepts them - sometimes good sometimes bad. Often these extremists offer belonging and self worth to those who have been unable to build it themselves.
Show HN: Ultralight – Lightweight, Pure-GPU HTML UI Renderer for C++
There are three goals in interviewing: for the interviewer to gather enough evidence to prove that the candidate is going to succeed in the role, evidence that they will grow in the long term, and to sell the candidate on the position.

A whiteboard interview isn't a good growth indicator, but it's great at leveling a candidate. Moreover, it signals to a candidate that their peers will be at a similar level.

So I'd vote yay. If you pay attention, you can determine someone's proficiency at coding on the whiteboard in about 15 minutes. This is particularly important when you have people who are changing careers or junior or otherwise don't fit the mold.

I'm honestly shocked at the arguments against whiteboarding as many of them seem entirely reactionary.

"But I'm never going to work that way."

Didn't we all do the better part of two decades of formal schooling? We test people like that for a reason: you can carefully focus on the specific markers of mastery of a subject.

I understand why people make this argument: it's a reaction to some of the weird puzzles companies used to ask. But it's never substantiated that this will help the interviewer and candidate make a better decision, so it has the same problem the puzzles did.

"But at work I have Google and StackOverflow."

This is a good point, the questions you ask in a whiteboard question should be based on the fundamentals rather than trivia. But it's a terrible point because it accepts that the interview is just a ritual you go through and this argument is that we should make it fair.

Whether a candidate knows "the answer" is not the point, it's more that they're able to talk about what's going on, have good instincts, etc. If you're an experienced engineer, you've seen lots of people write code, you know what looks like "junior" or "senior" and "guy who thinks anyone can just pick up coding."

"But if I work on a computer I can compile and see the edge cases."

Are you interviewing the candidate or the compiler? Again, this is the ritualistic view of interviewing.

"But at work I have plenty of time to work on things."

Everyone has this problem, so everyone is less able to perform, and the interviewer can simply adjust expectations.

"All of these interviewing "tools" (or tricks) attempt to be time/cost efficient proxies for doing the damn job..."

That's very much the ritualistic view. Other industries have had notions of apprenticeships and so forth for thousands of years, and our problem is that we view recruiting, professional development, etc. as things someone else does, rather than something we take ownership of. Interviewing is a critical business function, it can produce value and thus is not a waste of time. If you treat it as a useless ritual, though, it will be.

Just search "food capitalism", eg https://www.popmatters.com/foodies-guide-to-capitalism-inter... or https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/11/a-public-option-for-f...

"Food is actually the perfect example of a system in which the presence of a profit motive is having incredibly destructive human consequences. That’s because it introduces a terrible incentive: to sell people the products they’ll get addicted to rather than the products that are good for them. Americans live on junk food; they have terrible diets, with too much sodium, too many calories, too much sugar, and too few fruits and vegetables. "
Firstly inflation is still over the 2% target and shows no sign of coming down - an entirely self-inflicted own goal caused by the post-Brexit drop in Sterling.

Secondly, the UK is primarily a service economy, and Brexit will devastate large swathes of the service industries.

Third, this is a standard talking point, and is unsupported by facts - one reason (there are others) being that increased import costs for physical goods from tariffs and a declining currency balance out any possible gain from extra income.

Fourth - I don't think trying to turn tax avoidance into the UK's primary economic activity is a terribly good idea. You may disagree, of course.

Scotland will indeed walk away. Ireland will... change. Gibraltar will turn into even more of a mess than it is now.

And so on.

There is in reality absolutely no upside to Brexit. Except for traders shorting the pound, there are no non-imaginary opportunities - only massive costs and disruptions.

And propaganda and PR won't change that. There's certainly been an uptick in British flag waving in the UK, but it takes more than that to run a modern economy.

The irony being that Brexit will destroy the industries the UK is a world-class player in - financial services, law, tech research, engineering, science research, and the arts.
We have quite a few of those in Boston. I'm often hesitant to use them as intended because I'm pretty sure it'll just piss some ignoramus off. It's just not worth the chance. And in other cases, the lead car is already stopped on it (and also encroaching into the crosswalk as well).

One change I'd really love to see implemented is moving the traffic light pole to the near corner (as opposed to the far corner or suspended in the middle). This encourages drivers not to creep into the intersections because they wouldn't be able to see the light.
As a developer I understand that each supported filesystem adds development workload and potential for bugs and at some point you need to weigh this cost against the benefit. The problem with this is that the people who use these filesystem are more likely to be opinion makers for other people in the choice of file syncing solution. Dropbox is big enough so they think they do not have to worry about it. But there is a real possibility that they will alienate just enough influential people, that this will erode their user base more than they realize.
Hi, French here but I don't know much about the Paris scene, more the Lyon scene but they're probably close.

Regarding the French language: you don't need to be good at it. Just learn enough of it so you can show the locals you tried, and soon they'll be ok speaking to you in English. All coding languages are English-based so everybody knows enough to work efficiently with non French-speaking people.

Like the other users said, Station F is the flagship startup trend in Paris but there are many startups that don't go there and just operate in Paris itself, it's up to you to find them using meetups (there are plenty) to network.

Coding language wise, it's difficult to say but from my experience a lot of people are into Node.js and Ruby.

Hope this can help, enjoy your time there
Well, obviously it's your fault if you get fat.

It looks like this might be a myth. I'd never heard this claim before so decided to do some googling. However, I am surprised to learn that broccoli has a substantial amount of protein, regardless of whether or not it's "more than beef".

As much as I like tarsnap, comparing it Dropbox makes no sense at all. They do completely different things.
There isn't anything in the article about the "product-market fit" of California's speed rail, which I'm not familiar with: who and what are the use cases for the rail?

In Spain, with 2000 miles worth and another 1200 under construction (making it second only to China in total length[1]), a few of the lines goals were to enable high speed daily commutes from way outside the city limits. It works, at least to some extent, with people from cities up to 150 miles from Madrid commuting in and out daily in 30 - 50 min. Same happens in Japan, afaik. This really opens up densely populated cities with scarce/expensive housing, reducing inflationary pressures that often threaten to damage the local economy.

To me improving the effective housing radius of large metro areas is the crucial ROI any government should be pursuing, be it with rail, hyperloop...

> i.e. that its easier to make a “dumb” tool popular,

If this was your intent, then using the tired "worse is better" trope and claiming an issue from 7 years ago, that no one else has claimed to have seen is seems a far cry from it.

Dropbox became popular because it was easy, it worked, and did exactly what it said it did. That might be "dumb" in that it's not feature packed, but you use a lot of negative connotations when none are required.
XFS is well-known for its extremely good xattrs support, so that does not add up.

My /home is XFS on my Arch system and I received the same popup from the Dropbox client. I can confirm that this does apply to XFS as well.

I spent 3.5 years debugging and maintaining Perl code. For a living. I have formal education in programming applications in Perl.

And I stand by what I wrote about shell + AWK, especially AWK, any day of the week.

By the by, I can do unlimited number of things in a shell program, things no other programming language can do, because I can call any other program from it. Apart from assembler, shell is the second most powerful tool because of that characteristic.

> For which the instruction set is not documented.

Why does it matter?

This alternate instruction set is intended for testing, debug, and special application usage. Accordingly, it is not documented for general usage. If you have a justified need for access to these instructions, contact your VIA representative.

> For which the x86 access instruction ("bound eax") is not documented.

The instruction is documented to be LEA (which I presume is correct for this particular processor) and:

While all VIA C3 processor processors contain this alternate instruction feature, the invocation details (e.g., the 0x8D8400 “prefix”) may be different between processors. Check the appropriate processor data sheet for details.

> For which the capabilities are not documented.

It's documented that you can do pretty much anything:

For example, in the alternate instruction set, privileged functions can be used from any protection level, memory descriptor checking can be bypassed, and many x86 exceptions such as alignment check can be bypassed.
