Aha, you are correct - this is only JVM related.

In theory, the changes should really be minimal but to be sure we would need to have a very strong CI and stress testing platform to be sure about upgrading.

All good projects should have this in place anyways.
The verdict was delivered by a 4:1 majority. The supporting judges stated that 97% cannot be denied the benefits of Aadhaar for the exclusion of a "minimal" 3%. The dissenting judge termed Aadhaar as unconstitutional.
Speed runner come up with different "categories" for runs.

The most common is "Any %," also the most basic, it means finish the game, usually anything goes, glitch away.

You can also have no glitches category, 100% complete, no warps, no powerups, all <game item>s, etc. Sky's the limit. The community creates the categories.
I have ADD and video has its place, just not in this case.

A technical article such as this one is ideally disseminated using a regular web page. Pictures, text, code all in easy view and scrolled conveniently at will.

Compare that to a video which in essence is an auto-scrolling page that can only be paused or slightly slowed down. You wind up pausing, rewinding and skipping parts. Annoying.
Not everybody reads warnings. Many will go to that page and just go straight to the download. In addition, the warning doesn't say "not for commercial use" - you have to click through and read a long legalese to find it. Oracle could still choose to make it clearer...
Then don't do it and wait for taboola or google ads serve you a drive by rootkit?
The deathbed perspective is highly effective at sorting out what really matters. I've struggled with health issues for a few years now, and I ask myself regularly, "If I were to die in 6 months, would I be satisfied with having spent the last 6 months of my life doing this work?"

Often the answer is yes. A job is a good thing. Currently, I work for a company doing meaningful work, with a decent team, and a product that is heading the right direction. I get a decent paycheck to support my family and let us have some fun, and go home and see my family earlier than most.

On the flip side, if the organization changes, the answer can flip to no and it becomes time to leave. Sticking with a place that used to be a "Yes" after it turns to "No" is a painful experience, and people frequently stick around too long because of how things used to be. This is where the emotional detachment matters -- It is critical to your well-being to recognize when that answer flips.

> Oracle seriously needs to be fought in court about this and their other actions.

The problem is that very few companies have the desire or resources to do this. The community certainly doesn't have the resources. We'd need tens of millions of dollars of legal resources to fight their terrible behaviour.
> you might find they have a very specific idea of what "don't be an asshole" means that maybe doesn't quite match what you'd expect.

I think that's a compelling reason to be skeptical of CoC's but I can't come up with an example where I would be surprised at what "don't be an asshole" actually means to the anyone that wrote the CoC's that seem rather common.
I work at a nonprofit (thankfully not for peanuts), and I know that many of them take advantage of this. They use the "passion" of the employees as an excuse to pay way less than market rates, even if they've actually got the money.

One friend of mine is a developer at a nonprofit, and I know he's earning in the 25th percentile for his skills and experience in this region. I am certain his passion for the cause helped lead to this. Ironically, this situation has, over time, eroded his passion for the cause!

Nonprofits lose a lot of good people doing this, but they don't seem to care. Maybe because they've always got fresh meat ready to take someone's place? Maybe because donors always pressure for low overhead costs? Hard to say, but it's foolish. Only harms everyone involved.
I think the business model for ad-supported podcasts is tough -- people can only buy so much underwear and so many stamps.com subscriptions. That is probably bad news for podcasts with high production values that are part of major for-profit organizations (like the Slate one), unless they're primarily prestige projects (which is how I perceive some of the New York Times ones). However, the medium will still have podcasts based on radio shows (including from stations like NPR or Sputnik which are government-supported and not run for profit, and so will continue doing it even if they're not making money) and smaller, independent podcasts whose more devoted fanbases support them directly through means like Patreon.
My question is why is that not on by default? Why would it ever be acceptable for Google to have unencrypted copies of your bank password for example?
I think the sad truth is that most people learn this the hard way. You care too much until you feel badly betrayed by the company or get totally burned out. Then you realize one of the major causes was the emotional attachment and you need to let it go.
The majority of people don't download the JDK via this method (eg. a package manager) and will miss that big box about a license change.

Edit: Plus even if they aren't you still have the general mindset of "next next install close" where people are so normalized to getting something like that, to test or deploy it would be very easy to miss - given the license of the previous versions it would be an expectation that you would also be able to use the next version for commercial use also.

Although Oracle are perfectly within their rights to change the license, that doesn't mean it's not a dick move and a scummy thing to do.

Historically the US-Dollar became dominant in the 50/60ties when the oil exporting countries were partially forced, partially by their own preference staring factoring their oil bills in USD. One reason among others was that only the USD market was big enough to provide enough liquidity for the oil market. Other exporters then started billing their export goods in USD Dollars so they could pay their oil bill with the Dollars earned.

Ever since this becoming more a self sustainable system by which more goods were billed in USD because more exporters wanted to buy imports billed in USD. The US itself as only country as extraordinary privilege in the world could just print the currency at will, while others had to sell products to earn the currency.

The other side of the deal was, that Europe an Japan were using their economic capacities producing civilian goods, whereas the U.S. could buy these goods with printed money and could use the capacities to build up an otherwise unsustainable large military sector to protect their allies.

As another effect, USD trades are ultimately settled buy the U.S. Fed, so the U.S. can effectively get countries or companies out of the market as long the settlement is done in USD.

Fast forward today: The Euro is as big as USD. With EUR or CNY you can buy all products you want to have. When Russia, Venezuela and Iran decide to sell Oil or Gas there is little technical need to stick for USD. Further Trump cutting the U.S. side of the deal. Why should Europe other further grant the extraordinary privilege to the U.S? And why it would put it's own countries and companies a the risk of Feds goodwill to perform the settlement? Given Trumps apparent will to use the USD as a weapon, it is a question of national security for Europe, UK, Japan, Iran and the BRICS to change to a different regime.

My personal expectation is that settlement in EUR will be only transitional before SDRs issued by the BIS will become the final currency of choice. These will resemble the "Bancor" proposed by Keyenes before the Bretton Woods system was implemented

I don't see podcasts as an alternative to radio, but just the new radio. Like how Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu are just the new tv. Perhaps this is because I have always listened to a lot of NPR podcasts, such as This American Life, which are also broadcast on NPR radio stations. Of course, I also listen to a lot of other podcasts, some by people who mainly do podcasts, and quite a few others affiliated with some publication.
This was a hard lesson to learn for me as well. It is something I strive for now though even running my own business. I maintain boundaries like strict work hours and try to keep my work away from my life outside of work.

I think license changes are common enough that the reaction to such a thing is often "yeah, whatever." Most of the time, these sorts of things are not actually that substantial
I see pi-hole as the first line of defense.

With Pi-hole you can disable an adblocker when something doesn't work and still enjoy a fast web.

But Pi-Hole still blocks the majority of ads, so it is possible to use it exclusively if you just want to make the web usable again.

It's also great at home for family members who just want to surf faster and more private and secure but don't mind a couple of ads here and there. Especially when it comes to mobile Apps.

I also want to highlight that most domains that are blocked are usually tracking services which makes Apps and Websites incredibly slow and increase traffic to a large extent. I think blocking those "services" is the true beauty of Pi-Hole. Ad-Tech is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to commercialised tracking.

You can replace PoW by a simple signatures, or a quorum of signatures. This is quite centralized, but still write-once.

How does this compare to tools like Charles and BurpSuite?

I've used Charles extensively in the past for this sort of testing, and particularly on mobile apps (it's not clear if/how mobile apps are supported with this).

Edit: Ah, "Now you just need to replace the original endpoint with interceptor’s URL inside the app." – so it sounds like this is basically a proxy at the HTTP level in the target app, rather than a network traffic interceptor at the network level on the system.
"Testing" is pretty vague. I'm testing in production.

(Actually, I'm sticking with JDK 8 for now.)

As a clickbait business bubble. Possibly its more a side effect of the overall clickbait bubble, not specifically spoken word podcast vs written text.

I would not think clickbait journalism would be a natural fit for podcasts in that the barrier to entry is much higher than clicking on a ribald hyperlink.

> finally, ECC is a bit useless if your whole drive or device fails, which is a much more common failure mode.

I'm not sure that this is true. Almost all the platter based drives I've had fail gave some amount of warning signs before they became completely inaccessible. (The exception that I can remember was the one I damaged the circuit board of with a wrong type screw). My personal experience is just anecdotes, but we had a couple thousand disks at work that I managed, and we ended up swapping about one disk a week. SMART defect counts were very predictive of future disk failures, although even then the disks would usually be partially readable.

SSDs on the other hand, the failure rate was much lower, but the failure mode was always disk disappears from the bus. We could never figure out a way to predict that (our write volumes aren't very high). Occasionally we'd see a large increase in defect count and slowdown in access for a while as a drive would reallocate a large block, but if we waited for it to settle, everything would be fine after.
This is the crux of the problem. Is there an agenda that leads to a concrete result and is it the right set of participants? Too often, people turn a 10 minute meeting into an hour by just socializing or talking about things that only 2 people in the 10 care about or need to know. This is what annoys me about Slack's "we remove all meetings and email" approach. You can have no full meetings using Slack, instead you invite everyone to a channel and have 100 micro-meetings of a minute all day long that constantly interrupt your flow and could be solved easily with one short 15 minute meeting.

The problem is lack of good communication skills. Whether it is inability to write concise emails that have clear actionable tasks or resolution or having agenda for meetings and someone who will force the meeting forward. The other thing that drives this is managers (project, product, technical) who feel they must know everything about everything related to the project. Lack of clear roles and job descriptions exacerbates this issue and you end up with a lot of people only interested in job preservation.
A lot of my favorite podcasts are moving to premium content on patreon. Which is a little disappointing to me.

There is no reason for a blockchain here. A database would suffice just fine. It's not even decentralized so what's the point?
Minor correction. Government funding is a pretty small part of NPR revenues. (Corporation for Public Broadcasting is about 2% although there are additional government funding sources.)

I agree with your broader point though. Podcasting that isn't just a hobby or a side endeavor that supports the businesses that actually bring in the money is a tough business model. Not saying that there aren't popular/quality (not necessarily the same thing) ones that can pull it off well enough to eek out a continued existence, but it's tough and isn't going to get any easier.

Ask HN: Privacy aware anti-theft phone apps?
Recently a friend lost their phone. They did not enable the phone tracking software that came with the phone due to privacy and data security concerns.

Are there any app's that track the phone and before sending to server encrypt the data in a manner only the user can later decrypt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encryption)?
Why the "not too much"? IIRC Adblock was "compromised" in a way because it was more profitable for them to make deals with advertisers. If they made more money off of donations they wouldn't need to sell out.
It's interesting to consider why pixel art is still around. Obviously it's not just retro nostalgia. One reason is that self-imposed constraints (both resolution and palette) are known to boost creativity and result in more consistent art. Another reason is that some gamers actually want low-resolution graphics, they can use imagination to fill in the details.

Personally I consider pixel art a very bad return-of-investment from artist time. This product tries to solve it, but given examples are very hand picked. I'd like to see how more complex situations are handled, like scaling of eye and touching/overlapping assets. Also, most of editor features would be better to have in runtime so that assets can respond to changes in lightning.

> could pass through the barrel shifter at no extra cost

There was always a cost. You had to spend those bits in the instruction encoding that could have been used for more registes, more instructions, more operands, or (the x86 choice) the ability to fit more (smaller) instructions in the instruction cache. The existence of this extra thing in the instruction data path meant you needed an extra cycle or two in the execute pipeline for every instruction, not just the ones with shifts. You also had to have the single-cycle barrel shifter implemented in hardware (this is something that smaller microcontrollers used to skip).

In fact that weird ARM shift field is broadly held to have been a mistake. Note that A64 skips it.

But it's, in a sense, a lot more open. There are a lot of people who couldn't get radio shows out there making podcasts (Chapo Trap House is an obvious example of something that's a phenomenon but probably wouldn't be put on broadcast radio) or else smaller radio stations getting far bigger reach.
Started off strong, but I think he's got more to work through. I'm glad he wrote it, though---counterintuitively, showing this sort of anger is a pretty vulnerable thing.
No it isn't. Nobody says "one blockchain, two blockchain, oh hey look I found a bunch of new blockchain".

Blockchain is here being used in reference to the technology itself, not the collection of its manifestations. Just like you might say "how the internal combustion engine works" or "how insertion sort works"

I am happy with uMatrix, too, but FWIW, I could not recommend it to non-technical or impatient people. For many pages, I require multiple iterations of stepwise refining of what is and is not allowed before a site works for me.

I do not mind, but I can imagine it easily gets annoying for many people rather quickly. (OTOH, those people would not care to set up Pi-hole, either.)
