There was a 0-day winbox bug this year that was being actively exploited in the wild. They definitely have their share of security issues, and more are likely to come since they write their own versions of httpd, sshd, smbd, etc instead of using well tested open source versions.

As long as you aren't exposing the device itself to the internet, you should be safe from most exploits if your LAN is semi-trusted.
The premise is a really strange one to set up. I think he tries to motivate it somewhat later on in the article:

> You can see it in stark, comic terms. What are Bezos and Musk doing? Trying to flee to Mars. What’s Gates doing? Recommending you books to read, and trying to save the world with charity. LOL — how ironic. These are different forms of freedom from capitalism

I would argue, that especially in case of Musk and Bezos capitalism is serving it's purpose. Some of us think space exploration makes sense, others would rather buy a yacht, help the third world, or just put it in a bank.

Musk or Bezos are not 'fleeing', they are diverting their own resources and that of shareholders into the goal of reaching, and colonizing Mars.

Something a government might never bother with.
Oculus Go runs a Snapdragon 821, Oculus Quest has a Snapdragon 835 [1]. Android Central calls it 27% faster at 40% less energy [2]. GPU in the 835 goes from an Adreno 530 to Adreno 540, which looks like a good step up but nothing monumental.

In terms of large scenes with high res textures and detailed models, probably not going to do much better than the Go. It's really all about the resolution increase and 6dof tracking, more than trying to get anywhere near the Rift's visuals.

I would rate personal anecdote higher.

Pop-sci often adopts sensationalism at the expense of rigour in order to shift volumes.

At least personal, lived experience can be taken at face value, if accepted in good faith as a truthful account, and can be cross-examined.
One possible solution is in the article - nothing prevents you from using:

<div class="profile-card m-5 p-5 text-gray-light bg-gray-darker border border-gray-light">

with "profile-card" being use just for identifying the component.

Other than that, I rarely go through HTML without Dev Tools, which shows me exactly what a certain div is for.

Duterte was democratically elected. He will be stepping down in 2022 and has already been voicing his support for Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

>"Strongmen often enjoy broad popular support."

"Strongman" is not even a real political term its a media term invented in the US media and first applied to General Noriega of Panama. The term doesn't even necessarily apply to official the head of state as was the case with Noriega.

>"Mussolini made the trains run on time."

No this is not actually true. See:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/loco-motive/

And my question was regarding authoritarian regimes of the 21st century. The rise of Mussolini was very much tied the consequences of World War 1 on Italy.
How is this any different from saying "don't write functions, just repeat the same 10 lines the function would have in each place you'd use the function"?

The real kicker:

> "I don't want to have to repeat the same 20 classes on every single button." That's understandable. I will say that there's a chance that repeating those 20 classes can actually be somewhat valuable, because when you get into a situation where one of the buttons needs to have slightly more margin-top than the others, then it's easy to fix.

That's just... bizarre, sorry.

It's infinitely better programming practice to use a "button" CSS class, because then every time you want to tweak all buttons on the site, you tweak it in one place. With 100 buttons in different places, can you imagine the maintenance nightmare?

The author suggests creating button HTML templates instead... but why? That's what CSS already does. And when one button needs more margin or whatever other unique tweak... you just add an additional class so it becomes e.g. class="button button-extra-spaced".

For the life of me I can't see any advantages to the "functional CSS" described here at all -- it looks like a nightmare programming practice.
I don't know, I find a lot of engineers to actually be really sensitive. Confident and nice people can hold their ground and maintain civility in a disagreement without devolving into name-calling, questioning someone's character, or question someone's abilities because they don't agree on how to implement a process (be it in software, hardware, or something more mechanical).

Adding a large ego onto being sensitive makes for a very unpleasant and volatile combination. It causes them to take disagreement personally and then it becomes a religious discussion along the lines of vim vs emacs (obviously vim is superior and if you think otherwise, go back to sociology you moron). I think Linus is just like that.

That's my two bits.
It's really just a thinly veiled attack on Electron.
> The only difference is that one has the Oracle name on it and if you buy it, has long term commercial support.

And that you need to pay for it if you want to deploy the "Oracle" version. It's not optional paid support.

I am aware Oracle produce both, and that the OpenJDK build is every bit as 'official', I have no problem with this.

Please don't call me confused, my original statement is still true - Oracle branded JVMs will no longer be free for production use.
Very true. That makes the mail kind of redundant.
>I do have concerns about the CoC being used for political purposes

I can sort-of understand this stance if we were talking about FreeBSD for instance (which suffered a similar controversy not long ago) but we're talking about a GPL-licensed codebase here. The GPL is far more political than this CoC we're talking about. You can disagree with it of course, but the mere fact that it's political shouldn't be a problem on its own.

Also I remind the people browsing this thread that a downvote is not a "I disagree" button, I see plenty of "greyed" comments (like the one I'm replying to currently) that IMO do not warrant downvoting.
Heh, yeah. It is traditional. And ineffective (of course).

Read about this in a book recently, not sure which.. Parents who abandon/do not care about their child, will raise a child which believes no one values them. This causes them to believe they are not worth much, thus they will be afraid of going out and getting their voice heard as an adult - because deep inside, they believe their voice to be worthless. This person will avoid risk, avoid being heard as it may be "punished", according to previous experience..
No, but it's just that controversial claims require more rigor in how they are substantiated.
what's more, as was pointed-out on a recent episode of the EconTalk podcast, although our society as a whole is capitalist, internally almost all corporations are run as communist dictatorships
Indirectly GDPR does this. All data collection must be either opt in, or necessary to provide the service.
This has become a waste of my time.
I still have the question: what about the 'stone'? Do antibiotics cure that somehow? Or is that the reason that 30% of those treated with antibiotics ultimately have the surgery?

So it's even worse than I expected. First I thought that, obviously, GDPR can increase government censorship, but this example shows that it can be exploited by simple scammers. It's been since forever that new political regulations come out raw and need to be fixed many times before becoming something solid. Makes one wonder if politics can for once release a product of high quality.

Sure, but you could use the Oracle-branded JVM in production, AFAICT, for free before.
"If you don't love me at my worst, you can't have me at my best" is a load of nonsense in any context, and doubly so in politics.

And those people were complaining about too much political correctness too, and in the process just making my public stance look bad.

So the obnoxious Manosphere who are the most (only?) vocal critics of the new CoC forced his hand in the first place. How fittingly ironic.
You can communicate directly without also being insulting. You don't need to literally feel what other people are feeling (empathy) to not go out of your way to make people feel bad about themselves. I don't think there's a concern with 'Linus didn't wish everyone a good morning/didn't compliment so-and-so's code while suggesting changes' but with 'Linus insulted people to their face'. The former is cuddly, the latter is politeness.
In my opinion, I think you may be over-generalising the observer-effect.

I mean when the seller receives payment. And I concede that there are banks that are releasing funds on a tighter timeline. But that decision is still backed by a credit requirement at some level and at the whim of a centralized bank. What they deign to grant to us they can also take away from us.

The current system is familiar and comforting but it is not the stable panacea we like to think it is in comparison to a scary blockchain. The stability is manufactured at the cost of the occasional blow-up - which we conveniently forget about as the market rebound to new and loftier heights.

Marcus Hirt comments on changes to Oracle JDK licensing
No, I'm _implying_ that I don't believe it took 30 minutes to get down. Based on the abstract I would say you're going to find out it came back down in under 30 minutes, and then "oops" they let the CVR be re-used, overwriting the recording anyway.

The text from the linked abstract says: "Cockpit voice recorder (CVR) information was not available for this incident because the data were overwritten before senior Air Canada officials became aware of the severity of this incident"

One of the nice things about working in the Web PKI is that this crap doesn't get you anywhere since keeping records is one of the requirements, and any time the options are "This issuer might be crooked or they might be incompetent" both are disqualifiying anyway, no need to figure out which it is to make a determination.

It lets me sleep easier, were people at Symantec reckless, or were they so greedy that they actively tolerated fraud? Don't care, not my problem now, let their shareholders worry about it.

Information and data is the modern day 'gold'. There's much more value to tying an account to something that with negligible doubt identifies them than just selling it to advertisers. It lets you create sophisticated models and track and model users' behavior across services, and even outside the digital domain.

There are also extrinsic benefits outside advertising. Apple, for instance, is also a member of PRISM and one can only imagine how many other surveillance programs across the world that remain classified. Companies are undoubtedly 'compensated' for their involvement in these programs, and the more information they have and can gain - the more valuable their participation would be seen as.

This conflict of interest is why I think we will never see any sort of significant guarantee of privacy at the federal level in the US. The more information companies obtain, the more information the government has access to.
So my assumption then since you've said "many on the left" fly to outrage too easily, is that you don't know many people in real life who are on the left. Is that accurate?
Most marketing companies don’t share raw email addresses (rather md5/sha1/sha256 hashes of the emails). In that scenario, linking the common domain name is very difficult to near impossible to do currently.
Article says sick leave on antibiotics was 11 days compared to 22 with the invasive surgery.

The non invasive surgery only has you taking it easy for 7 days with no lifting anything over 10 pounds for a bit after that. They send you home from the hospital after 2 days. Most people resume work during the initial week.
I don't need my computer tools to define my political/spiritual beliefs. In fact, I think Torvalds adopting something like this in relation to Linux is a deep betrayal of a hacker ethos.

I will be keeping my eyes peeled for alternatives that understand the division between spiritual beliefs and "forced agreement with an assertion by participation" that uses religious terminology that has quite a different meaning to me. So far, hurd and is promising.
I'd say the opposite, because pop-science books at least represent an effort to collate multiple examples in support of some thesis and do not exclusively rely on the experiences of one individual. Of course we can see this used maliciously all the time (I think people are finally starting to turn on Malcolm Gladwell), but to me that just suggests both are fairly low-quality sources.
I'd rather say that (for at least some of) the capitalists' the goal is control/dominate the market not escape it.

Anyway, the whole article is full of wrong/weird premises, ie. talking to Alexa = talking to capitalism; mission to Mars = escape from the capitalism, not apotheosis of it etc.

I wish people would stop being so concerned about what other people think. If treating people well is the right thing to do, then do it. If people are nasty when they try to make you treat people well, ignore them.

When people say that they wanted to do the right thing but got pushed away because the advocates were jerks, that just sounds like an excuse.

That’s not to say that it’s ok to be a jerk just because you’re telling people to do the right thing. I’m just tired of this line people like to pull out of, it’s not my fault I’m hurting the vulnerable, those SJW jerks made me do it.

It's a big problem in the US that other countries only get acknowledged as in relation to the US. In a way this myopia serves the country pretty well and it's big enough to do most things themselves. But sometimes interesting things that happen in other countries get overlooked and nothing is learned.
I've been kinda thinking this for more than a decade after working at one of the big pharmas. I witnessed several trials with subpar results that would not go on to be published. I think all studies should undergo a simple national pre-registration and require a summary at the end of each study. One of the things that makes humans special is our ability to store information and pass it to further generations and just throwing away unwanted results is not helping anyone.
>I don't need my computer tools to define my political/spiritual beliefs. In fact, I think Torvalds adopting something like this in relation to Linux is a deep betrayal of a hacker ethos.

A "hacker ethos" is a political belief.
For GPU compute, does WebGL 2 fill WebGL 1 gaps?
That's a fair point. My comment is mainly in reference to my viewpoint that to be a good communicator, you need to both convey information, and convey a socially acceptable tone to allow people to ingest your view with ease. It's what make heated conversations (ie, politics, sensitive subjects, etc) hard to communicate about - the tone becomes aggressive and communication is less effective.

You are very correct, he is very good at conveying information. I think he's poor at placating people and handling people in ways that ease tension, lesson aggressive tones, etc. Great communicators need to do both if they want the information to be conveyed as effectively as possible - even though it stinks to have to placate/etc people, sometimes.
Something I don't think he has internalized yet is that it's not about "politeness" or "cursing." It's about abuse, which is still possible while being polite and without cursing.
No. Its recognition of the fact that "meritocracy" is a satirical myth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_of_the_Meritocracy
The goal of capitalism isn't freedom from capitalism, the goal of capitalism is monopoly and monopsony?
Anything that seeks to organize a group of humans is fundamentally political. A code of conduct that seeks to govern or guide how people interact is political. The de-facto emergent norms of how people interact _without_ a code of conduct in place are political. The way people organize and structure power and influence without rules is political. The way people organize and structure power and influence with rules is political.

Putting your hands over your eyes and ears and trying to be "non-political" just means you're accepting the de-facto politics that emerge. It probably also means they're working pretty well, for you.

Of course, none of that means that heavy-handed, oppressive politicking used as a weapon to increase power is good. There are at least two opposites of doing something badly: not doing it at all, or doing it well. I'd argue that you can't _not_ do politics, so you should try to do it well.

There will always be garbage people in "your camp", whatever that camp might be. Hell, for some people in "your camp" you'll be the nasty one.

The big problem with the internet and modern social networks is that they suck at filtering the noise and getting the interesting bits. In the end if we're not careful we only hear those who shout the loudest and most provocative things. A well researched essay on gender studies will have a hard time getting traction, however a single "I drink white male tears" tweet is sure to get a ton of attention from people on either of the fence even though it's effectively void of meaning.

Everything old is new again (sort of). There was a similar paradigm being promoted several years back that was dubbed "Object-Oriented CSS (OOCSS)": https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/12/an-introduction-to-...

It's a little unfortunate that the use of the terms "functional" and "object-oriented" were chosen in these cases as they can easily be confused with functional vs. OO programming, when in reality CSS or any paradigm of writing CSS has nothing to do with this distinction.
