Not sure what you mean by "at the core level", exactly. Prosody is quite modular, and everything is implemented as a module with access to the same APIs. Modules do not have performance limitations. I know ejabberd's architecture less well though.

Our internal XMPP pubsub (XEP-0060) support has a native code API designed for use by internal modules, so there is no need to marshal everything from MQTT into the appropriate XMPP stanzas for example, it's a direct mapping from MQTT to our internal API.
All of those "technologies" you mentioned are schemes for a small elite to accumulate wealth.
Only one chip was ever used in Ryzen.

AMD has 2 dies one which is used for Ryzen, TR and EPYC and one which is used for RavenRidge the RR has a GPU and only 4MB of cache per CCX and only one CCX per die the standard zeppelin die used for the rest has 8MB cache per CCX with two of them per die and no GPU on die.

The certificate in question (for baways.com) is this one:

https://crt.sh/?id=649459815

I'm going to generously assume your experience with 4 weeks and two professionals charging you fees was for an Extended Validation certificate, which as the name suggests involves a bunch more paperwork that the ordinary DV cert the article is talking about. But even for EV you've had a bunch of your time wasted by people either being incompetent or deliberately inflating the costs. For an existing organisation in a jurisdiction like the UK or most US states, with online company databases and functioning infrastructure you ought to be talking hours rather than days and there's no reason it should involve accountants.
Both this link, and the technical one posted by @iicc seem really light on how the infected modernizr got onto their CMS in the first place...
> There are three people across three different parts of the world who corroborate the report - CTO of a global technology group, a security based analyst and a professor of Computer Science. I wonder how this is "sensationalist".

Put out the patch in public domain or at least provide some technical information on the vulnerability itself (by making the said report public).

Every time a story of this sort comes out it inevitably ends in a lot of hand waving and sensationalism: how a reporter got access to a secret WhatsApp group that sells a patch in exchange for 2500 rupees and it allows access to the UIDAI system.

What makes it worse is that we are supposed to just accept whatever this CTO and his two other researcher friends have to say without any way to validate it ourselves. I don't see this happening with any other vulnerability disclosure: be it Spectre, Meltdown or plethora of other exploits which have detailed explanation of the exploit itself. Considering that it affects a billion plus people and as claimed by the article that Aadhaar is "compromised" and "cannot be fixed without requiring a fundamental change in the system" there is no reason now to hold back on technical details.

"This is pretty feasible, and looks like something that would be possible to engineer"

On the one hand you say the patch which can be bought for 2500 rupees already does this and at the same time you use words like "possible to engineer" and "feel pretty comfortable". Since when have feelings and possibilities gotten more prominence than technical explanations?

I'm not saying that the system is foolproof. On the other hand I am waiting for that one article that goes into technical details of the exploit than just sensationalism.
Yes, that’s what I read, too. IMO in humans there’s mostly idolizing and low self worth going on, causing feelings of inferiority/superiority towards others. „I am worth more/less than this person because XY“ is a very common thought pattern that we better do away with. Using a common denominator can be useful to realize that everybody is equal - like the fact that we all die, or that nobody has perfect knowledge of the world.

I think it's fairly safe to say, the conspiracy that created the collapse amounted to financial terrorism, and then (to fix things) extortion.

We have the laws. What we lack if the will and the power to apply them.

Economist had calculated a significant number of deaths (worldwide) resulted from the 2007 / 2008 crisis. I believe the number was approx 30,000 (but it may be higher).

I'm in Denmark. Recently there had been a crack down on VAT dodging on purchases from outside the eu (read China).

If your package gets picked, there is a ~$20 administrative fee charged ontop of the 25% VAT. Most people are pretty ok paying VAT, but the implementation in this case is ridiculous.

As to CEOs being irreplaceable sure, but they're also very focused on not going to jail. Personal liability for top execs which might actually result in jail time is a powerful incentive for those execs to ensure their companies don't engage in that kind of behaviour.

After using Elixir I love that 90.1% (according to github) of the language is written in Elixir and the excellent macros system is a major reason for this.

I actually think baking in the ability to add language constructs with macros is exceptionally useful and allows concepts to be expressed very clearly. A great example of this is Ecto which allows you to generate SQL directly from within the language.

Nads, missed the edit deadline. I meant to say "the promise of future employment". I think just being employed for having written some law is okay, as long as there was no arrangement, or understanding that they'd be employed because they wrote that law.

It's tricky stuff to detect and enforce but it seems to infringe considerable freedoms to lock it down too.
I started my programming career at an actuarial consultancy. My favourite was "There was once an actuary who was so boring, all the other actuaries noticed".

Actually I found the partners to be great people. I think some went out of their way to be unlike the image. I also think their particular skills can be applied more widely than the profession normally encompasses. A lot of the actuaries I met backed horses and I'm sure they had an unfair advantage!

One thing that made this less of a "pain" was that Sweden also has a really great price comparison site - prisjakt.nu, which actually has a far better UI for finding and comparing products than Amazon does. The only pain is signing up for accounts on new vendor sites. When I lived in Sweden shipping was fast, even from vendors up north. Typically the post was next-day, but vendors would take a day to pack and send so 2-day was the norm (at the default shipping cost).

I've found the same thing here in Japan. I do have Amazon Prime, but kakaku.com is actually a better way to find products, and more often than not Amazon is not the cheapest vendor.
Interesting, that instinct to Google for the answer is actually one of the 'culture fits' that we look for.

Interesting, because many candidates would (rightly and safely) assume that you're asking if they already know the answer - not if (duh) they could just google it. And accordingly, to respond with "just google it" would mark them as a plodding, uninspired programmer - and definitely cost them points (or even outright sink the interview).

There are a surprising number of candidates & engineers that simply give up when they encounter a hard problem.

It sure is easy (and gratifying) to feel categorically superior to a significant portion of the people who walked in through that door with the idea of landing a job.

But Occam's Razor suggest that, rather than being a bunch of gutless dolts - they were (perhaps as a result of being bludgeoned by one soul-crushing interview experience too many) simply assuming a more conservative acceptance level to your question than you thought they were.
Indeed. Amongst other issues this scheme appears to encourage making a large volume of moderately-useful changes to a lot of repositories, rather than a smaller number of difficult but essential changes.
> I also believe that some of what occurred should, in hindsight, have been illegal.

That is the main issue. Nothing you can do against individuals that acted legally.

However hindsight happened very quickly, almost from day 1. There is no excuse that the bailouts didn't come with extremely punitive string attached only loosened after the law had been updated.

That did not happen. There is no moral to the story, no happy ending. Worse, hindsight works both ways. Maybe the current generation of financial company executives have learned their lesson, but the next one will have no such reserve.
Some would probably settle for blood.

However, plenty of others aren't interested in that. What they seek is simply what we are told the republic promises us and the rest of the world.

That is, justice.

For a long time in many places, living in grinding poverty was and is "normal" and "natural" for most people. Living with all sorts of insecurity - food, physical safety, shelter - all normal. Evolution only selected for those of us who manage to reproduce individually and societally, not for those who tend to live to a ripe old age with a minimum of misery. I really don't get this formulation of "x miserable condition is perfectly natural!" when "natural" so often == "miserable".
> On the other hand, the cost of maintaining extra self-checkout machines costs very little. So in practice, they tend to be available to handle spurts of activity

If only! At the (UK) Tesco metro near my workplace, the staff have this insane habit of keeping half or fewer of the available self-checkout machines in operation. The rest of them have a big symbol like a stop-sign and are unusable.

Only if a big queue builds up will the single attending staff member go round and laboriously make the other machines available, whilst simultaneously having to attend to the frequent weighing issues caused by the machines. By the time they're done with this the lunchtime rush is practically over.

I mentioned this to a work colleague who suggested the reason is that they want to reduce the amount of time counting cash out of the machines at the end of the day, so having fewer machines in operation is preferable.
Okay. Name one that's decent. A single one. And let's look up what they've done ... I mean perhaps the really tiny ones are better, but that's really more for lack of options, not lack of will to commit atrocities.

Recently there was -yet another- mental health (for children no less) scandal in the Netherlands. Yes, the government that supposedly fairly hosts the international court can't even respect basic human rights in it's own country. Which brings the question if either of these things is really their goal (where for instance mental health "care" is often accused to be about locking people out of sight, at any cost (to those mental patients), and the international court is about international politics, not justice (for instance the Jugoslavia tribunal only ever convicted people from one side of the conflict)).

>> you're left defending a claim that virtually every banker and most companies

I don't need to defend that claim: most companies didn't care and neither they had enough resources to do their own, full due diligence into the state of America at the point of time. That's the job of the banks.

The fact that Russian companies held their debt in dollars has nothing to do with CDOs but rather their (false) belief in the stability of American economy.

Looks cool, but I noticed that a lot of videos have both "major key tonality" and "minor key tonality" in the tags. Maybe you guys need to have a higher confidence score for a tag to be real / less tags? Seems to be a bit of a mixed bag at the moment.

That last bit seems like you may be extrapolating from a very small sample size. Hating on some of the Agile culture, sure, but are there really that many people wanting more stress? Most of the Agile reaction I’ve seen seems like the opposite direction with people wanting to improve work-life balance, or drop the parts of consultant-driven Agile which are just adding ceremony without benefit.

Are you sure about that? From the but of history I know, monarchs had extremely busy schedules and high demands on their "free" time, and I don't expect that all of that was particularly fun.
Emacs is a very important ecosystem that effectively uses macros. The danger of macro overcomplication is real, and emacs' conventions are the primary way they avoid introducing problems.

For example, macros and functions are nearly the same thing: one runs at compile time, the other at runtime. But they both have documentation, and you can jump to a macro's definition the same way you would for a function. You can also compose them together and generate new ones on the fly, etc.

Basically, a lot of the problems with macros in other languages is that macros are considered this special type of not-really-a-function. It's either templating sugarcoat, or restricted turing-noncomplete layer. But if you treat macros as literally functions that just happen to run at compile time, the problems are reduced. And if you treat them with discipline and document what they do, and show examples, and add test cases, then you never have to worry -- just like normal software.

One helpful rule of thumb: If you copy some functionality more than twice, it's probably time to make it a function. If you define a set of functions repeatedly -- like test cases -- or find yourself writing the same pattern over and over, or if you can generate most of your structure automatically based on e.g. "I know this is a React component", it might be time to write a macro.

If this concept sounds intriguing to anyone, I highly encourage you to check out Lumen: https://github.com/sctb/lumen

It's a Lisp that's literally javascript:

Compiled code: https://github.com/sctb/lumen/blob/master/bin/reader.js

Original code: https://github.com/sctb/lumen/blob/master/reader.l

So if you understand Javascript, then there's not much to learn. And you can use it in your own projects right away.

Most of Lumen's brevity is thanks to macros.

(One hack for quickly understanding Lumen: read the tests. Every language feature is meticulously demo'd: https://github.com/sctb/lumen/blob/master/test.l)
In those cases, you generally don’t have the standard library, and packages made for these cases tend to care more about binary size.

If WAPO gets only sporadic traffic from your particular IP, there aren't any other readers behind that NAT and hence your access can be limited.

After years of watching actual users, my first guesses as to why the crooks went with a "paid certificate from Comodo" would be:

1. They genuinely didn't know about Let's Encrypt

2. Learning some new stuff to get a free cert didn't seem worth it because they're not paying anyway (at corps this is often because they have a bulk deal, or there will just be a Purchase Order so it's not their personal credit card bill, for crooks it's probably someone else's money anyway)

3. Some minor technical inconvenience made doing the ACME proof of control validations tricky. For example their DNS provider doesn't implement a sane API for changing TXT records.

>Then while we (working class) were dealing with the fallout

On the ground, parts of the financial services and the "working class" were responsible.

This story that it was simply a bunch of innocent people trying to fulfill the American Dream of owning a home is hogwash. People were knowingly buying property beyond what they could afford because prices would "always go up" and they could flip it to a greater fool. Greed, pure and simple, and both parties were complicit.

Don't believe me? Go watch one of the multitude of flipping shows from the era.

>Much to the contrary, they went on enjoying the same mind-boggling luxurious elite lifestyle they always did.

Let me guess, you don't work in the financial industry? Would it surprise you to learn that not everyone in it (and responsible) is a CEO? The industry was gutted, and many in it paid the price with their jobs. Why do you desire a pound of flesh?

I would consider "misconceptions" which are irrelevant to the point being made to be the exact definition of pedantry. It detracts from the point being discussed, often is centered around some or other strict definition of a word, and is all-in-all about as constructive as being a grammar nazi. Yes, there is a gravitational field in LEO, but LEO is so negligibly close to an actual inertial frame of reference that for all intents and purposes we could (and do) call it one. The people and materials in LEO are in fact experiencing "zero gravity".

Calling it zero gravity is only technically wrong in Newtonian physics, but Newtonian physics are more than just technically wrong when it comes to the reality of general relativity.

All you have to do is get out of one subway car and move to the next one at the next station. Avoiding public transport because you (allegedly) have to do this 1 time in 100 makes no sense.
Alan Perlis has a thoughtful way of expressing this: “a programming language is low level when its programs require attention to the irrelevant.”
