Given that technical debt is quite hard for non-technical people to quantify, why wouldn't we expect that most startups would tend to accrue technical debt?
Instead, what they ought to do is go through the top 10,000 domains and test to make sure that:

1. www.* doesn't end up as a 404 or DNS resolution error

2. www.example.com matches the content from example.com

3. www.example.com -> example.com is a valid permanent redirect

and then finally

4. Publicly shame them. Don't hide it from people because you run into all sorts of UX issues.

I really hate www. for a multitude of reasons, but the biggest one is just thinking about the amount of time spent saying it out loud. Nothing aggrivates me more than turning on the radio and hearing "go to our website DOUBLE YEW DOUBLE YEW DOUBLE YEW DOT <some long name like nelsonfurnishingandrepair dot com>". That's like two seconds of air time they could recover.
I’m not sure if it’s worse to have the same vulnerability across two versions, or to have two distinct vulnerabilities.
While I generally agree that functional programming does help immensely to make secure software, in this case, the function wasn't pure. It was meant to return data that didn't exist from a database, but the error was silenced. Also, the reason why the servers were "burning" was because this somehow resulted in a memory leak that consumed all the memory available to the system, which is why they also had trouble pushing fixes. Even in a pure function in Haskell, memory leaks are possible and the same scenario could've resulted.
​Hollywood goes open source
That's why Chrome is moving away from showing the padlock to displaying "Not secure" for sites that aren't secure. The padlock will be going away entirely; secure is the default state.
krita is much bigger than paint.net though, isn't it? as I understand it, it competes with gimp/photoshop on complexity.

one of the nice things about paint/paint.net is at least partially how limited it is: everything is easy to find, menus are small, actions are limited but quickly understood, etc. It's probably the pinnacle of an 80% product
You can still click and see the whole URL. This is just making it easier for the average user to see the most important thing to them, which is the domain name.

It's not like they're just changing stuff randomly. The TLS padlock change has been going on for a while now, and not without reason. As we get to a point where almost everything is served over TLS it doesn't make sense to tell the user every time. It makes more sense to only notify them of the exceptional situation where we're on an insecure connection.

The certificate authority system is terrible, but it's what we have for now. There's been some advances to help make it better though. CT for example, ensures that if anyone starts making fake certs we can all see it at least.

I suspect (and hope) that browsers will slowly transition to using trusted spotters to verify certificates in addition to (and eventually instead of) authorities. If you remember a few years back when moxie marlinspike made that promising, but underspecified cert verification system that relied on the user supplying a list of trusted verifiers and the browser basically goes to each of them asking "I see cert 88:A4:etc" for domain "google.com", do you see the same thing? The idea was to make it really hard to MITM someone since you'd also have to MITM every verifier the browser asked. Not impossible, but probably harder than getting a fake cert under our current system.
You mean the Messenger Lectures of 1964? I don't think they were originally a podcast.
I find your viewpoint shortsighted and praising authoritarianism.

Although I personally voted against him, I believe Donald Trump was elected by the American voters and those American voters have a right to have their policy preferences implemented by the person they’ve elected to do so. If any person with integrity can not carry out their democratically elected leaders orders to the best of their ability, the only recourse they have is to resign and give a full accounting of why they can’t to the American people, if they feel so strongly about it.

What I’ll NEVER support is a secret, unaccountable cabal of plotters who have decided their opinions are more important than American democracy and rule the country according to their personal whims.

To be perfectly blunt, I don’t see what the difference is between that op-ed writers actions and a coup.
Yeah, I'm about considering tossing food in water. If it floats, witch (burn it!), and if it sinks, its not a witch.

> A just legal code forbids only what the vast majority would consider wrong regardless of the law.

I don't think that's entirely true; legal codes often specify things on which there is a strong preference for uniformity (or benefits which can only be gained by uniformity) but where the details of the uniform rules are not themselves a near-universal consensus independent of the law. I don't think this makes them bad legal codes. (Prohibiting driving on the left-hand side of a public roadway in the direction of travel, for instance.)
> the Islamic empire lasted for north of 13 centuries

I mean if you count the Ottomans, Abbassids, Fatimids, Seljuks, Umayyads, and Rashiduns as one single entity, sure. By that measure you'd also have to consider the Romans and Byzantines (and maybe even the HRE) to be a single contiguous entity as well.
After reading the introduction, I thought that the author was going to use a story of software failure as an example of why you should write unit tests, or at least why you shouldn't deploy untested software.

However, the moral of the story was essentially: "software is so complicated that it is bound it break, so you have to be good at fixing it". While that is certainly true, I think that developers have a responsibility to use whatever tools they can to write high-quality software.
In fact Debian ships Apache with a decent default setup which also allows further Debian packages to seamlessly hook into the configuration (with directories likes /etc/apache2/conf.available and /etc/apache2/conf.enabled and softlinks inbetween). Apache itself does not have any "default" configuration at all, it most likely also starts fine with an empty configuration file.

Of course "fixing" security problems at the level of the web server feels like adding a firewall to your server instead of avoiding daemons listening on public ports. It feels wrong. But it can be seen as another layer of security.
So basically, it's dangerous in the same way that laptops, cell phones, tablets, video game consoles, security cameras, ebook readers, and printers are all dangerous?
FYI she still adamantly has the view that it was correct not to have been awarded the Nobel prize; not because the award wasnt sexist etc. but on the original grounds of being a research student.

It was somewhat sad that the bbc interview this morning was insistent on making the story about balancing the scales over not being awarded the nobel.

She was pretty passionate about pushing the story toward her latter point about the benefits of diversity in any field. Her clarity of vision on this was wonderful.

I feel the media have rather got lost/muddled on her point, which is a shame.
Lest anyone think that Chrome is being innovative here, this is Safari's default behavior for when the URL bar isn't focused. When you click on the URL bar, the subdomain, protocol, and path all appear.
It's been like this on mobiles for a couple of years right?
> Joins should be indented to the other side of the river and grouped with a new line where necessary

Don't agree here. Having all tables down the left makes it very easy to quickly scan all the tables that are being joined. With indents following the joined table, you can then quickly see and map in your head how all the tables are joining as well. This is how I would format the code in the Joins section:

SELECT r.last_name
FROM riders AS r
INNER JOIN bikes AS b
ON r.bike_vin_num = b.vin_num
AND b.engine_tally > 2
INNER JOIN crew AS c
ON r.crew_chief_last_name = c.last_name
AND c.chief = 'Y';
Problem with this calculation it it assumes that exactly one person/group undertakes the buy-every-ticket strategy. As soon as there are two or more groups the chances of splitting the pot goes to 100%.

Maybe the GitHub people would do it independently?

There's also just a question of which way the winds are blowing. I know the TIOBE index needs to be taken with a dose of salt, but it is interesting to see that Python is entering the top 3 at the same time that Ruby is falling behind Object Pascal.
An answer for Subversion would be: Because "svn update" (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.ref.svn.c.update.html) runs faster then "svn export" (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svn.c.export.html).

For git there is not even an "export" option anymore (cf. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/160608/do-a-git-export-l...), but nevertheless "git pull/push" is an easy way to keep the production server code synced. It is certainly not the best.

Presumably your question is for the Chrome team, and I'm gonna assume the answer is: yes, of course they did research. They did research for the padlock, etc too.
The best way I personally have found to consciously ensure I am intaking the information I am reading, and not just skimming it as you said varies between nonfiction, and fiction.

Fiction:
For fiction the best way I found is to either at the end of each chapter, or pages (before you turn the page) is to stop for a bit and think back as to what happened. This allows me to retain what I am reading. I also find this is very interesting method to help your logic skills. I tend to find as I do this I will be either thinking of what is going on and trying to think ahead, or I would try to imagine what I would do instead. Do this practice has allowed me to vividly remember a book I read years ago.

Nonfiction:
For nonfiction I use two techniques that go hand in hand. The first is the same as for fiction, the only difference is that I will stop a bit more often. The second skill is to try to explain what I just read to myself, as if explaining to someone else. This is a way for me to test if I really took in the information I just read, if I find that I can't I will go back and read until I can.

Summary:
I believe that if you make an effort to do this, one; you will find the books WAY more interesting, and two; you will find you brain actually mulling over what you are reading and focusing on it instead of just quickly reading and moving on.
A much saner behavior is to hide the URL entirely until focused, not to show a secretly mangled version.
Chrome 69 has been a joke so far, in UX, design and bugs (on Mac). It's good, because it will push more people to Firefox.

>> I'm also a little curious why the cables were wrapped in concrete. Exposed steel cables are common on bridges. stability side to side? Concrete is not great in tension (steel is very good in tension). As the article indicates, it was potentially hiding some of the cable corrosion, making the situation worse.

the concrete was meant to be a protective sheath to stop cable corrosion. poor materials engineering at the time sounds like the issue

>> He believed using the system would reduce the sway of the bridge. Structural engineers seemed to agree.

But Mr. Morandi also believed that the concrete coating would protect the steel cables inside from the wear and tear of the elements.

“Concrete structures seemed to be eternal,” Mr. Majowiecki said. “This was the mentality.”

In that hope, he added, Mr. Morandi was greatly mistaken.

The concrete of the day turned out to be highly vulnerable to degradation, worsened perhaps by salty air from the Mediterranean Sea and the harsh fumes from nearby factories.

Cracks in the concrete shell let water in, and the steel began corroding almost as soon as the bridge was opened for traffic in 1967. But unlike bare cables, any corrosion was hidden deep inside, making it hard to detect."
For the prudent, form follows function. Doing things because you can, because it's "neat" is courting folly. There is an analogy here for coding.

I'm 34 and have just recently pulled myself out of a 10-year phase of minor depression. Rational control is great and is something I often make use of to control the stress and reduce toxicity in my life, but wresting control of your emotional state and fueling your motivation is arguably far more important.

Like you, I've started to take exercise more seriously and also watching my diet a bit more than usual. This seems to help immensely. If you're anything like me, I tend to overthink too many things and I've found that to be a huge obstacle in trying to ward away depression, so I've put some focus on improving various aspects of my life rather than ruminating over random thoughts in my head.

Meeting new people and expanding your circle of friends seems to be a good way to keep your mental health in check as the human interaction doubles as an emotional support system.

Job or no job.

Clicking doesn't reveal the URL. You have to click and use the left arrow key, at which point the protocol and www prefix appear.

Just like when Chrome hid the protocol part of the URL, you can even click in the URL bar and copy it without seeing the protocol (or, now, www prefix) at all. I think it results in a confusing experience when you paste it. (Ordinary users will say: "I copied example.com but I pasted https://www.example.com … why??)

Well of course results vary from paper to paper. I'm sure we all know that science progresses as general consensus. It's important to follow larger trends, not the day to day experiments.
A similar concept related to elliptical constants and proportional areas, is the curve formed by the cycloid [1] of a circle, which is the curve formed by tracing a point on the circumference of a circle as it rolls across a surface from point A to point B.

For example, the fastest distance between two points is not a straight line, it's the cycloid, specifically the Brachistochrone curve [2]. This is the path light follows.

One common misconception of the cycloid is related to its arc-length. At first glance many assume the arc-length of the cycloid is equal to circumference of the circle, but this is not the case. The line-of-sight distance between the cycloid starting point A and ending point B is equal to 2πr, the circumference of the circle -- however the arc-length of the cycloid curve is 8r, which is an integer value given an integer radius. The cycloid curve is full of interesting properties, many yet to be discovered and all its implications are not yet fully understood.

Another interesting aspect of the cycloid is not only is it the fastest path, but no matter where two objects begin on the curve, they'll both traverse the curve at maximal/optimal speed and both will arrive at the bottom of the curve at the same time, regardless of the delta between their starting positions. This aspect of the cycloid is referred to as the Tautochrone curve [3].

So if you're looking for ways to distribute partitions or encode invariants in your models, data or otherwise, the geometrical aspects of elliptical and cycloidal curves are a good place to explore.

Grant did a 3Blue1Brown video with with Steven Strogatz on the Brachistochrone a few years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cld0p3a43fU

And Vsauce did one with Adam Savage on the Brachistochrone where they build a mechanical model of one that shows it's the fastest/optimal path among different curves, and their experiment also shows the cycloid Tautochrone invariant property where objects begin up the curve at different distances apart and yet all arrive together simultaneously in constant time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skvnj67YGmw

NB: Consider this, two seperate impulses of light beginning at different distances away from the observer, both impulses of light traveling along the optimal path at the optimal speed, and both arriving at the observer simultaneously, without bending time. And as shown above, on a cycloidal curve, this phenomenon is not unique to light.
