Actually its:

SCINET -- Secret Compartmented Information Net (if you don't know what
compartmented means, you don't need to ask)
DODIIS -- DoD Intelligence Information Net

The other stuff I think is right, at least without me looking things
up. I probably shouldn't have brought this subject of the secure part
of the DDN up. People like being low key about such things...

Erik, all the BBN gateways on MILNET and ARPANET currently comprise
the core, not just mailbridges. Some are used as site gateways, others
as EGP neighbors, etc... And just because you are dual homed doesn't mean
you get a mailbridge. And the IETF doesn't deal with low level stuff
like that; DCA does all that. In fact, the reason we are getting an
ARPANET PSN is because when DCA came out to do a site survey, they
liked our site so much they asked if they could put one here! It's
amazing how many sites have tried to get ARPANET PSN's the right
way and have had to wait much longer than us... BTW, since we are
dual homed (probably a gateway with 2 1822 interfaces in it), we
are taking steps to be sure that people on ARPANET or MILNET can't
use our gateway to bypass the mailbridges. The code will be hacked
to drop all packets that aren't going to a locally reachable network.
BARRNet, even though its locally reachable, will be excluded
from this however, since the current procedural limitations call for
not allowing any BARRNet traffic to flow out of BARRNet to MILNET
and the reverse. NASA traffic of course can traffic through BARRNet,
and even use ARPANET that way (though that's not a big deal when
we get our own ARPANET PSN). That's because only NASA is authorized
to directly connect to MILNET, not UCB or Stanford, etc...

DCA must have the ability to partition the ARPANET and MILNET in
case of an "emergency", and having non-DCA controlled paths between
the nets prevents that. There was talk some time ago about putting
explosive bolts in the mailbridges that would be triggered by
destruct packets... That idea didn't get far though...

The DDN only includes MILNET,ARPANET,SCINET,etc... Not the attached
networks. If it did, you'd need to file a TSR to add a PC to your
local cable. A TSR is a monstrous piece of paperwork that needs to
be done anytime anything is changed on the DDN... Rick knows all
about them don't you Rick?

The whole network game is filled with acronyms! I gave up trying
to write documents with full explainations in terms long ago...
I have yet to see a short and concise (and correct) way of describing
DDN X.25 Standard Service for example... That's probably one of the
harder things about getting into networking these days. We won't
even talk about Etherbunnies and Martians and other Millspeak...

Interesting thread. There is a real need for medical specialists to faster share information and have high quality discussions. Increase the speed of feedback loops on ideas and research. Similar to what we do in HN. The software is the easy part, but it needs to be lead by individuals with high convening power in the field.
Thanks for clarifying; I completely misunderstood that. If only journalists were half as good as you at reporting information...

No, it means you shouldn't create a startup if you're not qualified to handle the data correctly. Way too many bootcamps grads running around saving unencrypted PIA in databases and with root AWS keys because of the "move fast and break things" mentality.

"GamerGate" was "a thing" because of disgusting, and deeply held, misogyny within the gaming community. The reason why every legitimate press outlet covered "GamerGate" from the standpoint of a harassment campaign against women is because that is precisely what it was.

> I continue to be completely mystified with the concept of outrage about video games.

People are always going to be upset when something they're passionate about gets ruined. Being continuously attacked by the game press also sets up the whole conversation to be very hostile.

The internet is great for consumer rights. Consumers hold all of the cards and corporations are there to serve them. I don't think anyone should be feeling sorry for companies will multi billion dollar marketcaps or mainstream press. They are not ever going to be the victim.
Not everyone is even grateful for having the kids, and feel coerced into it by society, family, and spouse.
This is all fine, but I help demystify the problem here. They marketed the new game to a completely detached audience as the highlight of the event. And when real questions came in, like "maybe a PC version comes later?" The reaction is: "You guys not have phones?"[1] I can see people snapping to rage mode.

And then the gaming 'media' calls theys guys out as assholes, which really shows how strings are really pulled behind the curtains.

Considering Gates was referring to "content clubs" as akin to "record clubs" and the Wired interviewers were instead bringing up the cable companies and Disney, I would say the Wired team had a good read on the future. Although other commenters here bring up a good point that Gates may have been downplaying the potential market for content creation/delivery on the internet. Also his dismissal of internet advertising is likely the gap Google needed.

If management asks you to cut corners to ship the app, ask them to put it in writing.

There's nothing wrong with iterating quickly, but developers are responsible for making sure their systems are secure and resisting shipping applications that aren't. It is a developer's responsibility to push back on shipping broken software. If they're forced to, they need to make sure there's a paper trail that shows that. Otherwise it's indistinguishable from a developer just having done a bad job of their own accord.
The game journalists defending Blizzard seem to be missing the issue here. The issue isn't the mobile game. The issue is where it was announced and to which audience.

Let me paint a picture. You buy tickets to see Rage Again the Machine perform, and RATM come out, and instead of performing their set, the do a mime act and that's it. They are done.

You'd be pissed. Now, let's realize for a second, they performed for you, and they're performance might be something some people are interested in. Just not the audience that paid to see them. So yeah, people are going to be insulted.

People don't care that Blizzard is making a mobile game. What they are upset with is that the audience they are presenting to, the fans they are reaching out to that still play Diablo, that were literally present, were completely ignored.

Finally, let's not ignore the fact that this is really just a cash grab at a Chinese market. That's fine if that's what they want to do, but it's being driven by that market (this is clear because they are adopting patterns popular in China and not the West). Just don't pretend that another audience is going to cheer for the fact that they are being ignored.
Exactly.

Instead of saying "don't you have phones?" they should have said "We are working on a new Diablo PC title but we aren't ready to talk about it yet".

Would have been a very different reaction.
I agree with it sounding naïve. The thing is, we’ve tried a lot more things that attempt to pragmatic and reasonable with limited success: innocent people get hurt, while bad actors weasel out. I know the standard is supposed to be to allow a hundred guilty people go free rather than allow one innocent person be imprisoned, but given how many people are in prison, there might be more innocent people in there than we’d like to admit.
People should be treated with respect, even if they're not a good fit for the job. This is disgusting behavior on Amazon's part.
I'd be A-ok if it had been impossible for Google, Facebook, etc to build advertising empires.

It seems strange to me that
`(map extract-name justice-league)`
isn't listed under "idiomatic improvements." Supposing you already had `extract-name` defined for some reason, it's cleaner and simpler to just map that unary function than wrap that function in an anonymous function - whether that wrapping is done with the `#(...)` reader syntax or explicitly constructed with `fn`.
Recently I had such a bad experience with a Google recruiter who was looking for an Engineering Manager. He set up an initial call but canceled 8 minutes before due to another meeting he had at the same time.

So we rescheduled for two days later. I had the video chat link and was waiting for him to appear. As he didn't appear, of course, I sent an email asking if anything was wrong. This was 3 months ago and I never received any feedback or another reply.
To make matters worse, this is not Diablo at all. It is little more than a reskin of NetEase's Crusaders of Light. I'd say the outrage is justified.

Blizzard's claims that this thing is built from scratch from the ground up are laughable.
Yep.

IIRC fans paid $200 tickets and I imagine even some traveled to go to the conf because there was so much hype around a new Diablo game.
Yeah but no, there are many languages where recursion is not the default solution and recursive versus iterative loops is indeed an often mentioned weirdness, for lack of a better word, at least for beginners, which is the perspective I can speak to. That counts for functional programming, too, where the exact same syntax is used -- so it seems to have its appeal.

Also, I want to note, although you didn't say otherwise, that the recursion may be hidden behind layers of indirection.

The GP writes as if proper testing and code review was unheared of so the issue would be the same in any language, in principle (safe for testing facilities, which weren't the point however).
Given that most (all?) public Wi-Fi's primary function is to collect data & stalk people for advertising, it's not a big loss.
"The project that eventually became the .NET Framework was originally called COM3. I quickly realized this was a bad idea because of this bug. We then renamed it to COR (Common Object Runtime)."

Wow that was... Extremely weird. Is this supposed to be some kind of tribute?
Would love to hear more of your point of view.
Putz literally means penis but is commonly used to as a pejorative for a foolish man. Then again "git" is British slang with similar usage and we all use that product.
What's interesting about these practices is that the _best_ candidates will have no patience for this and say "no thankyou" so they're not getting the cream of the crop. Everyone, even an obvious bad fit, should be treated respectfully and the interviewee's time and schedule should be honored.
So while I agree the Twitter post about toxic masculinity is both a HUGELY weird leap and a further sign of the times, Kotaku's take on the situation seems (at least the quoted bit, I didn't read the whole article) a perfectly reasonable and even the "proper" take on the situation. Perhaps barring the "video game culture enables entitlement" bit.

It's a shame watching the quite literal rage that has come about from a company announcing a product decision that wasn't the one that some portion, however large, of the community wanted. Assuming Kotaku is correct and there is still a new Diablo separate from this in the works, then it's a societal disgrace to watch grown adults raging out over a mobile game being announced ESPECIALLY in the context of the game that they actually want is ALSO in the works.

I find it odd that you demand some sort of standard from the game journalism community but find no need to expect a reasonable standard from the gamer community.
It was a massive gaffe by Blizzard almost perfectly designed to cause an outrage which the gaming press can then use to bash gamers.

Compare this to Fallout Shelter. No-one minded as it was not made to be the prime of a show, especially one not focused on mobile gaming.

Even announcing it before wc3 remastered would have produced way less outrage.

It’s like having a classical music festival suddenly change into heavy rock and then whining about how the audience is entitled. There is nothing wrong with either music style. It’s just the sudden switch from what the audience expected that’s jarring.
The venue is just weird, why would they even announce a Diablo mobile game at BlizzCon? The people who care enough about Blizzards games to attend or follow BlizzCon DO NOT CARE about mobile games, at all.

The people handling marketing and products at Blizzard, and EA, and Bethesda aren't in touch with their most loyal fans. I can only imagine how much money there must be in in-game transactions, given that all three companies continue to upset fans that don't mind paying $60 for a new release.

The issue is that normally a user has to enter their password in Chrome or, if you want their cookies, you need to modify the chrome binary itself to steal them. The problem with headless chrome is that any application can now steal these cookies. Before if you wanted to do that with local malware you needed to do something much more noisy (create a fake chrome window, etc). You couldn't just do a File.read("chrome/cookies.txt").

Now you can, and that is stupid. To enable headless mode should require root.

I've written about this before (https://www.bitquabit.com/post/zombie-operating-systems-and-... ); we had to work around this on Kiln back in ~2010, because it meant that Unix users couldn't even access files named things like "aux.h" that were stored in their Mercurial repositories.

That said, I had an error in that original post which this weirdly replicates: CP/M doesn't actually have quite this same error, because these names show up through the PIP command, IIRC. I really want to link to the correction, but I can't find someone telling me what the actual correction is from the last time that got posted.

The problem is Blizz didn't have anything else to announce at Blizzcon. So people pay a good amount of money to be there, and the only thing that's announced is an outsourced/reskinned mobile game. Not even a true Blizzard title.

So naturally the anger gets directed towards the game. Had they announced anything else with it such as D4 news, D3 dlc, D2 remaster...literally anything else, it would have been fine.

Also remember Blizzard is not Blizzard/Activision and many of the old guard has left. Mike Morhaime and Chris Metzen departures were huge. I wonder if the writing is on the wall.
You are correct. For this system, we didn't go that route because of the amount of data involved, and the rate at which data are ingested, are both large enough to make maintaining our own fleet of database servers operationally challenging.

We have a small, experienced team with a lot of operational experience, so we know how we could build this with other technologies and how to maintain it (And how much time it would take). All of that would be time away from actually building the product, and it would also change some of the character of what is expected for the job.

We have worked at some of the larger bay area companies, and there are some really nice aspects of those jobs. One of them is having a strong enough operational base so that you can concentrate on planning and building a thing, instead of always being caught in a reactionary loop.

Postgres is always going to have a special place in my heart, and we do use it as well, we are just careful to use it in operational ways that won't ruin our weekends. If this feature were the one core thing that made Streak special, we likely would have built it with Postgres and Citus, but it is just one of many features, and going with Spanner let's us treat it that way.
I don't bother with any recruiting or hiring processes anymore. If I can't phone and speak directly with my candidate boss about the specifics of my hire, I tell them to go find some other manipulable smuck. I just give them bad attitude, and guess what? They want me immediately. No one talks to me unless they need a serious, problem solving developer. Recruiters that fish me get an earful. I've found being nice is a failure strategy, and having a nasty attitude turns heads; I get hired.
Funny part, I am the most easy going guy around. I just can not tolerate shitheads, and the corporate recruiting process is all shitheads.

The party in power is not expected to lie, cheat, and steal to maintain their position. You're claiming that as if that is the righteous goal of any party. I would argue that's exactly what the founding fathers didn't want. There's a trust but verify attitude in the Constitution which is why there are checks and balances. Also, in America there is only 1 party that continually seems to be doing all of those things and ramping it up massively as of late. The opposition party, when in power, has generally not had to do any of those things because it usually does things that the people of the country want so they don't need to do those dirty things to stay in power.

Also, claiming that if you had a genie that could make your candidates win it would be silly to refuse is kind of not great. I think for a lot of people that it would be downright disturbing to use that and they would instead realize that if their candidate lost then that is the will of the people and that's democracy and what we all supposedly should want. Trying to make it anything but is basically cheating, which you are admitting if you had the opportunity you would gladly do. I'm not sure I would claim that as happily as you have.

You're almost arguing that corruption is the norm and that it really can be great if it works in your favor. This is a pretty disgusting argument.
Counterpoint: "Memories of Feynman's lectures" at http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_90.html

Every time this topic comes up, someone says they heard nth-hand that the lectures didn't work. I suspect it's folklore that grew out of Feynman's disappointment expressed in his preface. I studied them together with the official text in my undergrad courses, and found them helpful, FWIW.
Good observations. Personally though, I think this is kind of the "proper" usage of a passenger car: getting out of the city/town, but not going to another. There's no viable mass alternative to getting out to the woods -- this is the proverbial last-mile transport, even though in reality it's a lot of miles. And if you're driving a gasoline car, the cleanest way to do it is at a consistent high speed. Hybrids, of course, are even better. It's not really viable yet, as far as I know, to use a full electric for a weekend camping trip. Charging isn't widespread enough and takes too long. (I'd love to be corrected on this, though!)

It's also worth noting that some amount of infrastructure in these areas is necessary for caretakers: rangers/foresters and firefighters need roads. Resource extraction (logging) too. Except for the real high-volume locations like Yellowstone, I'd venture a guess that most of the roads in conservation areas were not built particularly for visitors.

Regardless of their intended purpose, in a world of costly cell phone data plans, the widespread availability of public wifi has been fantastic when you need it. Would be a real bummer to lose that if nothing takes its place.
The problem with that is the devil is in the details and it fails to account for changes properly in technology and excludes far better alternatives.

Say for instance there is a requirement that there must be DES encryption of passwords. That would be a downright terrible law on several levels - first of which is that the best way to secure passwords is not keeping them in the first place but a hash. The encryption standard is as laughable now as requiring banks lock their vaults with a simple warded lock - the kind where skeleton keys work because shaving the teeth from the key means it no longer has anything to catch on while it turns the lock.
