Not all crypto is based on mining, so not all crypto contributes to climate change. Suggesting all crypto is bad because bitcoin uses energy is silly.
Memory is a difficult one, especially in garbage-collected languages which have a habit of filling up the heap even when it's not used, so it's not always obvious how much memory is actually being used without having language/runtime specific signals. The mitigation in Cloud Run is both concurrency, and that you're only billed while a request is active.

>Upon investigation, researchers found a driver containing components that run with ring-0 privileges in the kernel.

>"We traced the anomalous behaviour to a device management driver developed by Huawei," researchers said in the post. "Digging deeper, we found a lapse in the design that led to a vulnerability that could allow local privilege escalation."

>Researchers who reported the vulnerability to Huawei said the company responded and cooperated quickly and professionally. A patch was released earlier this year on 19 January.

A rather clickbait-y title for what actually happened. Of course though, rehashed old news is great for harvesting karma when it's the right bogeyman.
Those use cases exist, but probably don't require an office on every other block.

I think increasing GINI might be correlated with GDP growth in most countries (including, Europe, but much let so).

So increasing GINI would correlate with increasing happiness, until you hit the GDP per capita ceiling, and then it becomes anti-correlated.
I've had awful support. They reached out to me after I had an issue two months ago and CC'd 6 engineers but then stopped responding to my emails when it time to actually schedule time to "discuss my architecture". I tweeted about this, @GoogleCloud responded instantly, promised they would poke their support people. That was a week ago and I have heard nothing since. I've sent three follow-up emails.
Is "coding as a hobby" intended to be mutually exclusive with "coding professionally"? If not, I don't think I'd be that surprised by the 80% number even if it came from a source that everyone agreed was statistically significant.
This is why I love functional programming as a whole. I feel like my code is really terse, without little/no sacrifices in expressivity, and usually no substantial sacrifice in performance.
Can you provide some information about when you might be adding support for IPv6? It's a deal-breaker for our particular use cases.
You know, I get the uproar about this, but I'd like to put one thought into your heads before you respond:

Imagine, as complicated as tax forms are, and as obtuse as the IRS instructions are compared to TurboTax.

Now imagine the government puts up a website for you to file your taxes.

Do you really want to use that? Do you think it will be as easy to use? Do you think you'll have a nice wizard to walk you through it? Will it be faster than TurboTax?

Now, a year or two after their site has come out, and TurboTax has seen a huge drop in revenue (they don't know it, but it's only temporary), they decide to shut it down because they can't compete with both free and "government guaranteed" even if the site sucks.

Will you be happy then?

Seriously - I get the frustration of the current situation, but if you've ever done it on paper and have anything other than the 1040EZ form, this should give you pause.
2. The anti-tax lobby cynically (and correctly) understands that in order to keep taxes unpopular, making them painful is useful.

If that's an example of their swift thinking, I'll be sure to vote against anyone that carries even a whiff of their ilk. Because if such a candidate could not see a distinction between taxes and the process of paying them, we're probably not going to get along intellectually, let alone politically.
AFAIK Github.io does nothing for the build process...it just hosts static files, which means you need to build them somewhere first (locally first).

Netlify is focused on delivering your frontend and has some light backend features added on (form submission, lambda functions, auth). But you can't run a dynamic application on just netlify, because there is no database. But you might not need a database, which I think is netlify's proposition.

AWS Amplify is focused on providing you a backend (with GraphQL) powered by AWS services (dynamoDB, lambda). You can run an entire dynamic application with just AWS amplify. They also provide frontend hosting now, but that part I haven't used (oops that was your core question sorry). It seems that the CLI tool just configures S3 and CloudFront for you. This is probably much less polished then using netlify.

> The classic approach is to have three sensors

Which can also fail:

In 2008, on a customer-acceptance flight of an Airbus A320, two of the angle-of-attack sensors froze and those two sensors then outvoted the third. When the pilots went to demonstrate the stall-prevention system, they were not aware of the malfunctioning sensors. The plane crashed, killing the seven people on board.

The same problem arose again on a 2014 Airbus A321 Lufthansa flight leaving Spain. Eight minutes after takeoff, two of the angle-of-attack sensors froze at the same pitch. This time, after a drop in altitude, the pilots were able to regain control and complete the flight. [1]

I don't think the fundamental problem with MCAS was the number of sensors, but that it was too difficult for the pilots to override MCAS when it faulted.

The article seems to be focused on converting gamers to linux distro. GPU issues usually make them shy of screwing up an install that "works" trying to convert.

Most conversions i see involve people being locked out of thier system,
and financially unable to repurchase OS , Hardware or both.

These people may need a windows-ized setup to the UI so it isnt unfamiliar, but generally the sentiment is:

"this linux thing always has everything i need, where i want it to be and no interruptions or goose chases for something you are required to have."

So in my experience non-tech people can use linux, with quick adaptation, and they love it.
This is true - it's indeed much harder to do that, but the geometry should not take the blame: the station markers are a lot less proeminent in his version, vs the clear white pills for every station in the original.

Many people don't view public sector (government) workers as legitimate professions, teachers included. They are part of the bureaucratic machine, and their experiences don't replicate what the rest of society encounters.

At a certain point, you start fervently hoping it's "I must've made a mistake/misunderstood something", because then you can fix it. But good luck waiting for the OS/compiler/interpreter to be fixed, or digging into an unfamiliar open source code base to fix it yourself.

The April 2019 Security Update Review
> The positive with an imperfect socialized system is that it's under democratic control. In other words society decides what to prioritize.

You understand that democracy means "majority rule", right? Who are the majority? The sick? The doctors? The healthcare workers earning terrible wages? The people who are actually affected by the decisions made by the majority?

No, it's the average citizens who are fairly healthy. And they want to pay as little as possible or have everyone else to pay for them. So they get what they asked for, which is worse healthcare. The difference is, they force that healthcare on everyone (except the high-earners and the self-employed).
This article leaves out air traffic control, which is a major issue. In the US, ATC is a very manual process, and planes get slotted into routes that are more a factor of what the ATC personnel can deal with than anything else.

In most cases, aircraft get lined up in the sky in lanes. If your plane is nice and new and can move efficiently at a higher speed, it doesn't matter because it will get stuck behind an old crappy plane that cannot.
But it blurs the distinction and it normalizes thinking about the Chinese people and the Chinese gov't in similar ways. Honestly I think it's irresponsible and naive - let's not pretend there isn't a rising undercurrent of anti-Chinese sentiment in the West.

The past few articles i've read about Huawei - (The British Code review article from the Register and this) make it sound like the US is dressing what is actually incompetence as malicious intent because

a) Trade war

b) Chinese boogeyman makes US companies look better?

The double-think of the rhetoric against Huawei is staggering considering US programs like Prism were state-mandated data collection at a massive scale against private citizens and a secret courts program to access private sector companies data on those same citizens.

This is part of why I love llvm's IR so much.
That was my takeaway as well. It’s also somewhat ambiguous; who are you comparing yourself to? All coworkers, everyone in your graduating class, people the same age as you?

I’m sure that we’re seeing at least a bit of everyone thinking they’re more skilled than they are, but it’s more slight than that caption would lead you to believe.
Off topic, but besides being a really cool API for playing games - and heaps of games support it - I used this in a talk to control my "slides" via an xbox controller: https://mrspeaker.github.io/emacs_talk/ - moving around topics, triggering slides forward/back, starting/stopping videos, and changing slide opacity using the d-pad, analog sticks, and triggers.

As someone who’s reasonably technical, but hates server deployments, etc., I love Nanobox. I’ve been using it since it was PagodaBox.

Customers (including me) on their Slack were getting pretty worried about the lack of announcements from them. I hope this means it’s going to get even better, although I know many are worried that they’ll now drop support for platforms which aren’t DigitalOcean.
I mean off the top of my head: More and more states are passing $15+ minimum wage laws and they'll need to compete, because saying you pay people more without context (like how many people will be laid off or converted to contractors) can be good PR, because you realized you were already paying all of these people approximately that rate so you can just streamline your hiring negotiations and save money.

There's plenty of reasonable possibilities here.
There can be a lot of factors involved in that, though. The amount of aircraft in the sky is really high, and accordingly flight paths are often fairly indirect with inefficient corners involved to make the most highly de-conflicted flight paths possible.

When your plane is extremely delayed, to the point that you're the last flight taking off from your airport (and thus likely a large set of local airports), this makes the likelihood that a huge amount of airspace is more clear around your flight path now than it was for the originally scheduled flight. The updated flight path might be massively more efficient, hit favorable wind conditions, open up different speed options along the way, etc.

Since flight times are dependent on a large amount of conditions that are pretty volatile with respect to time, the original estimate was probably true, but with changing conditions and flexible scheduling, they managed to get you where you were going on time.

So, sure, maybe the 'flight time' isn't true, but it's a pretty clear indication the arrival time is.
I'm sorry, I was mistaken. That was incredibly rude of me.

I mistakenly assumed based on the title of the original post "About V, the language Volt is written in" that the post was about V, but as you pointed out, based on the parent comment it was actually about Volt.

It's hard to tell without referring to external sources. It could be either GeV or TeV.

This is far from a complete answer, but consider Psychological Warfare [1]. With vast amounts of "boring" data about people's preferences in movies, music, friends, choice of words in messages, an actor can construct psychological profiles of individuals and populations and use those to manipulate people.

This is exactly what the Cambridge Analytica "scandal" is about. Individually, you may have nothing to hide, but in aggregate, the data is rather powerful.

I think Python is trending up because it’s a general purpose language that’s easy to learn.

Django basically does what Ruby on Rails does, not exactly but close enough. Flask does what Node.JS does, to the extend that we’re talking about building quick prototypes, not running Netflix. So you have most of your web-based needs covered. Python also does data though, and is to ML and BI what NPM is to web-development, and lastly Python does systems scripting. Basically Python does most things, well enough. By comparison, ifyou’re a .NET house like we have been, you’ll use C#, Microsoft SSIS/SSRS, Powershell and probably Python to do what you could do with all Python.

So I think that’s a big part of it. The other big factor is that Python has replaced JAVA in most of Academia. JAVA was great and all, but being something a very high percentages of CS majors learned surely helped it.

> Let “has fiat currency” be A, and “has a large army” be B. You’re asserting “If A then B; therefore if not A then not B”.

those are incorrect presumptions and therefore incorrect conclusion. A is "has fiat currency", B is "needs an army or other means to maintain fiat value".

of course army is not the only thing, but it's one of the things in many of the countries. whatever other things other countries have to assert fiat value - those too consume some energy-equivalent of resources. army is just the most obvious and easy to understand example.

and yes, there are also feedback loops, there is no strict causal relationship between the components of this system, which is yet another reason why you can't make these energy consumption comparisons without being intellectually dishonest.
So how exactly is China supposed to go about spying on people using a LPE backdoor?
Slight difference in that the Chinese government routinely disappears political dissidents while in the U.S. we give them talk shows.
Their free tier has a 100GB/month bandwidth cap — surely the most trafficked websites in the world would very quickly hit that limit, no?

Your point stands nonetheless — they could certainly be losing money on certain large users of their free tier. Serving relatively static content has gotten extremely cheap across the board, though, and like the parent said, they might be benefiting from the pricing by more indirect means.
False equivalence. China is the country that imprisons the most journalists, and routinely emprisons or kills people as it wishes.

My favorite feature is the one-click deployments. Through the power of SSH keys, the site is deployed with a simple `make rsync_upload`. No Chef scripts, no AWS CodeDeploy pipeline, just plain ol' rsync over SSH.
Alternative possibility (that I just made up on the spot): the people who get to choose what language to work in, ignoring the popularity of the language (and therefore how easy they are to replace) are already in very senior positions. More junior people do not get the opportunity to work in functional languages.
Good luck coming up with a legally-watertight definition of "backdoors" as distinct from "bugs", and proving which category any given flaw belongs to.

Or do you want civil liability with substantial damages for every bug that might ever be exploited?

Hosting on GitHub personally worries me because it isn't their core business.

Hosting on S3 is cheap and I know there are tools to help me, but it's complicated to set up.

Netlify hits the sweet spot by being integrated with git, so you still have to be somewhat technical, but taking care of of a bunch of devopsy stuff. Things that their customers either don't know to do or don't want to. For example I thought about setting up let's encrypt for my personal site, but netlify has that figured out.
ALEC works because interstate/international corporations with telco-level budgets fund the model legislation, fund the lobbying effort, and fund the post-political careers of the politicians who push through the model legislation.

The US government spies on you to prevent the next 9/11 so it goes. China spies on you to steal your IP to give to its native businesses. You should probably care about the later far more than the former.
You can build a complete pwn exploit by chaining several seemingly innocuous (more or less) vulnerabilities together just so. This vuln provides the escalation, another provides the remote execution...

Then when someone says: "Huawei pwns us", they can just claim ignorance and stupidity because a small mistake here and there provides better deniability than some whitehat finding out that Huawei provides the Chinese government with the whole set of keys to the kingdom.
My alternative suspicion is that SALT harms smaller and poorer states, since they can't lower local taxes to attract large businesses without also raising those businesses' federal taxes.
Same exact thing for the HIPAA regulations; they're written by a 3rd party who owns the copyright to them.

It's maddening that the government can simply wholesale adopt a code and not make it public. The feds, or at least the states individually, should hire experts to write the codes that are used by the public. Anything else is a travesty.

That being said, there is value in a LPE as a part of a bigger exploit chain. There's all sorts of exploits that'll give you relatively unprivileged code execution, and you'd want to silently elevate in order to make yourself persistent for instance.
