Considering I can hardly run iTunes on a new iMac, I can't wait to watch my Samsung "smart" tv burst into flames trying to open it.
That's a great piece of animation. I don't know if the content-less opening and ending are there to be true to an original film reel or something along those lines, but for those who haven't visited the link it's about seven minutes of animation.
By iTunes I believe they are referring to the ability to watch movies from the Apple iTunes Store which is available on Mac, iPhones, iPods, and AppleTvs. Not referring to the iTunes Mac/Windows software, though yes, still very popular.
TL;DR

In summary, the three questions I’d definitely ask before deciding to learn something new are:

*Future — is this learning oriented towards my future?*
*Fit — Am I the best person to learn/do said activity?*
*Timing — Is it most effective to learn it now, or could there be a time when it’s more relevant?*

The best time to learn something is when you're interested to do so, not when you're no longer interested.

The fit point is silly. I would never tell anyone not to learn something if they show an interest. When a child is interested in music, we don't know that it's for their future, just that they're interested and enjoy it. Similarly, you don't always know what's in your future. The more you're exposed to and interested in the more possibilities your future will hold.
I used to work with a healthcare company and dealt the 837 file format and FTP batches and wrote a pretty neat-o parser for it, the reason is simple- inertia. And it's not like people aren't trying because there's been a huge push to get REST-like APIs in place, but when you have close to 40 years of software infrastructure in place it's non-trivial to explain to the boss why you need to spend money on something that gets everyone paid either way.

I think it would be truly revolutionary if we could change the format, but what I think would be almost a better step is to write open source parsers that can accurately translate X12 into something sane and keep the interchange the same so that everything can be balanced out like a checkbook. Check out the 835 format for this part as it's supposed to be a data stream of transactions. Too bad the dozens of flavors of X12 are locked behind licensing and thousands of dollars of books for the rules :/

I am. I bought a bunch of music on it before Spotify was around, and I still have an “ownership” mindset with respect to content that I think I really like. I still have buyer’s remorse on certain albums and tracks, but that’s just the nature of things for me.
Every MRI scan is primed with information. "grandma is forgetful", "billy fell off the roof"

But if MRIs were that subjective, they would not have the success rate they do.

It is more reasonable to assume something happen to the embassy staff than that MRIs are as bogus as lie detectors.

There is no reason to fire that employee. After such an event, they will likely be one of the most attentive employees in your company.
Same way you don't fire an ops/dev employee after deleting a database. You look for solutions that will prevent it, like in the article, have training in place, run simulations, etc
Why do you feel the need to work on a "Big Problem"? Do you feel the need to leave a legacy, or do you really want to make things better by working on paridgm changing enabling technology?

I think there is a problem with trying to target your attention on world changing technology, in that it is very rare for the world to be changed in a big way by direct effort towards change. I think this is related to both the difficulty in identifying what will really provide benefit and also the difficulty in actually achieving anything beyond incremental change to mature technology. Ideas that really make a difference tend to come out of left field and are almost completely unexpected.

If you are looking for something to do that you will look back from your death bed and say "I did that", then you need to select something that you can actually achieve. This will not be the thing that everybody else is working on, because unless you are truely remarkable your effort will be lost in the noise of what everybody else is doing. You need to find something that your both enjoy, and after honest evaluation you have the ability to excel in and take to the next level.

If you were living in the early 1900's I would suggest working on the field effect produced when electricity is passed through centain types of silicon. No one will know your name, but transistors certainly changed the world. How in 2019 do you identify what will have a similar impact? Simply put, you can't. All you can do is pick something interesting and work at it. If you try to solve the big problem you will almost certainly get drowned in the problem, you need to work on something small that can be leveraged to make the big thing.

Sorry I ramble.

History is full of people who made big changes to the world. Those who made a positive contribution seem to mostly have emerged from obsecurity after spending years labouring at improving something small and succeeding in a remarkable way.

It lets you interactively encode a message in your moves when playing against a player who is not in cahoots with you :)

(Disclosure: I made this).

And yeah, sorry about the lack of error-checking. If pretty much anything goes wrong it (maybe) writes an error to the console, and just does nothing.

I'd be interested to see if anybody can produce a short message which can't be encoded because it results in a state where the only legal moves are checkmate.

That makes sense, thanks!

For microbenchmarks, I try to remove any overheads during runtime by precomputing. That means fully populating the map (only hits) and generating the distribution of keys. Then the threads start at a random index and increment for the key on each operation. This is a good example in Java,
https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine/blob/master/caffeine/s...

I would expect ~15-30ns per integer key lookup on a decent hashtable, w/o concurrency, at a modest size (few collisions). Using a concurrent map that supports lock-free reads doesn't have to be significantly different. Since hashtable design make such a big difference, it sounds like you've narrowed it down to that as a reasonable bottleneck. Thanks for investigating.

There was an article (I believe on Noahpinion?) a while ago about how they don’t need to build cheap housing, if they built enough expensive housing to soak up all the tech workers, the price of everything else would drop enough that poor people would have plenty of places to live.

I don’t know if that would work, but it’s a theory...
Been witnessing this a lot in my city. Developers talking a big game about deregulation and additional supply being the only way to drive prices down, then building only "luxury" condos that are snapped up by speculators and prices everyone else out.
I don’t get what this accomplishes. You can either put the secrets in the environment variables, or put all the information required to decrypt the environment variables in the environment variables.

What does the latter give you?
It just lets you pick a username in addition to the phone number. The phone number is still required. (Granted it is a plus that you can give your username to someone and they supposedly will not find out your phone number, but still.)

The non-border parks aren't suffering much unusual damage. That is alarmist nonsense. Toilets may overflow, and piles of trash will form around the trash cans, but this is pretty easy to fix.

The bit in the article about walking off of trails is particularly silly. People will do that or not, unaffected by the shutdown. Nothing will change. Meanwhile, that is actually a serious problem for the border parks. There we have all sorts of unauthorized trails crudely carved through fragile ecosystems.

It is perfectly legitimate to point out hypocrisy and insane priorities, and slapping a silly label like "whataboutism" on it does nothing to change that. I swear, there is something like Godwin's law for "whataboutism".
You should probably take it up with regulators then who, especially in the financial services industry, recommend or require it. e.g. https://www.fdic.gov/news/news/financial/1995/fil9552.html

Short answer: hospitals, insurance companies, governments

Long answer: It's not like people don't understand that the current situation is suboptimal. It's that any kind of change implemented unilaterally will leave you unable to communicate with your counterparties. The severe consequences of this (not getting paid, being out of compliance with HIPAA) means that any kind of change to health-care IT at a system-wide level requires an absolutely massive amount of politicking and often fails to improve the situation.

The problem is that health care institutions are so interlinked that driving any kind of global change is a process best measured in decades. Combine this with the fact that the culture in health care is very conservative, and people tend to be hostile towards change by default and you have a situation where it's often easier to leave the industry and save your sanity than to remain and continue bashing your head into a brick wall over and over again.

> ""How do you scare a Bellhead?" he begins. "First, show them something like RealAudio or IPhone. Then tell them that right now performance is bandwidth-limited, but that additional infrastructure is being deployed." Then "once they realize their precious voice is becoming just a simple application on data networks," point out "that the Internet is also witnessing explosive growth combined with 45 percent returns on investment, compared to 5 percent growth and only 12 percent or so returns for voice." In short," says Doran, make Bellheads realize they are witnessing their extinction."

That was definitely the real fight going on - control over calls and other services, with the ability to do differentiated quasi-monopoly pricing. Ultimately:

> "IP is hard to charge for? That's not a bug, that's a feature!"

This is the defining feature of the internet: you don't have to go through the billing system.

(If you want to see a telco-designed internet protocol that's in wide use, try SIP: the separation of control and data planes is absolutely characteristic.)
53 (48 payload + 5 header) was an efficient size for voice. There’s no fixed size that’s great for data — you always need fragmentation, so it doesn’t matter much what the exact cell size is. So although it seemed like an odd number, if you have to pick a fixed size it’s a good choice.
In Canada we have a good parks system and yet I must admit that the US park system is phenomenally well run and contains so much diversity. I suspect that us visitors take for granted how much work is involved in maintaining the cleanliness and illusion of untouched solitude. We are so fortunate to be able to enjoy it and I hope any shutdown damages are minimal.
So, damaging 57 other national parks to save 1. It doesn't seem to me a sound/common-sense trade-off even if your claims are true.
@NovaX it's worth noting that swapping out the underlying hash map that evmap uses is really easy, which is one of the advantages of the design as far as I'm concerned! For example, here's the diff for moving to someone else's custom hash map implementation: https://github.com/jonhoo/rust-evmap/compare/hashbrown. A better benchmarking harness is a good idea, though I'd like to see something that is somewhat disconnected from evmap! Pre-generating the randomness is something I've done in the past, but it does have the downside that you end up not actually exercising the distribution well (unless you generate vast amounts of keys)...
Change a PAGE_READONLY mapping to a PAGE_WRITECOPY one. The commit charge is billed at VirtualProtect time, and the protection can fail if you run out of commit. The kernel doesn't have to commit anything for a PAGE_READONLY mapping because all pages in such a mapping are guaranteed to be clean and trivially evictable. Not so once you introduce the possibility of COW faults. Reserving a big range of address space and committing it a little bit at a time is a very common pattern.

Another thing: create a 1GB section. Map it, and fill it up. Unmap it. Map it again. What you wrote is still there. Between the map and remap, you have commit without corresponding address space.

Idea is, if someone gets access to your CI environment but not the repo - they don't have the data to decrypt. E.g. if your CircleCI password is leaked, but GitHub is safe. In my experience, most CI websites don't allow to browse the source code.

That's not ideal - IIRC, CircleCI in particular has a feature to run the build with SSH, so a sufficiently aware attacker still has a way to get the decrypted data. Still, an extra obstacle. Just that security's not binary.

Also, this way you can manage the secrets in your repo. No need to log in to CI and use their web UI to edit the passwords. I think that's convenient.

Sops is a better idea, because you can't extract keys from the KMS.
Wrk2 is not fast enough and will thus give spurious results since the bottleneck is the client.

I do care about off trail hiking in all national parks because of the obvious damage that causes. I also care about preventing littering everywhere. Including national parks. My concern for these topics is unrelated to my stance on a border wall.

I don’t appreciate your unfounded implication that my concern for national parks is somehow politically motivated or excludes specific parks.

I also don’t appreciate your attempts to drag this conversation off topic. The article is about lasting damage to national parks due to a government shutdown. The article is not about a wall or the border.
How do you handle old files, if you don't mind me asking? My document directory has the year at the root level, i.e. ~/Documents/2018/billing/projectname which is nice in so far that you don't have to scan through files and folders that stopped being relevant.

I believe in the theory that building "luxury" housing for high income workers frees up rental space for those with lower incomes.

This is anecdotal but personally I know a lot of millennials who place a lot of weight on living downtown (I'm one of them). A few years ago -- prior to the completion of a variety of luxury apartments, these folks were renting out rooms in homes, or staying in more moderately priced apartments.

Once more rooms opened up that a had a gym, a nice rooftop area, close access to Whole Foods, and other amenities, they moved. I even know of a very wealthy couple that lived in a relatively poor neighborhood while they waited for their condo complex to finish completion so that they could move in. This couple could easily pay the monthly rent with half of one persons paycheck.

TFA clearly explains the ways in which parks are experiencing lasting damage due to the shutdown. This is happening regardless of their location relative to the border.

Please refute the claims in the article directly instead of dismissing them out of hand.

> The spec is public

That’s good…

> there's code in GitHub that you can compile and run a working client

No, not really. The code pushed to GitHub doesn’t really compile and the author of the project is quite unhelpful in resolving these issues.

> Whether updates are being dropped in a timely fashion or not does not change anything.

It does: the project is licensed under the GPL, and in a sense “benefits” from having the name of the license associated with their product. But they are not compliant with software licenses, they’re basically source-available maybe possibly if you beg them enough, except also the sources they publish cannot be verified to and likely do not correspond to what they are currently shipping. For a project who’s entire goal should be increasing trust in their product’s security, keeping the development process opaque and violating open source licenses (in addition to their adoption of custom crypto, which I will ignore for this because I cannot comment on it) does not inspire trust at all. Plus it’s just plain annoying.
Do you think the Protestant work ethic can be beneficial to an individual ? Or does it work only on a larger scale ?

Shifting the supply curve is the only way to drive the price down if the demand curve cannot be shifted. If prices are not falling, that simply means the supply curve hasn't shifted far enough yet, hence more supply is needed.

Edit: At the heart of the issue is whether or not society believes if the place someone lives should be distributed via supply and demand. Historically, the overarching theme has been might makes right, either via brute force or some proxy such as money, with a few localized instances of seniority or luck dictating the right, such as with rent controls and housing lotteries.
