Well... yes and no.
Not everyone could afford the newspaper on a regular basis, let alone a subscription (Which, where I lived, cost more than it did at the gas station). Regular newspapers were a luxury. You might have been lucky enough to read it at work, though. But you might be stuck with a local newspaper, which varies greatly in quality. One local newspaper was once a week, had no national or state-level news, was fraught with editorial mistakes, but was worth it if you wanted school news or yard sales. Many mid-level papers glossed over national and world news, were heavier on ads, and so on. You really needed to buy a major-city newspaper to stay informed. For me, what you could often find was the Indianapolis paper. Less commonly, the New York Times or even less commonly, the Chicago Tribune.

Much more commonly, however, was local news on television. Televisions are one-time purchases after all and weren't that difficult to get with a tax refund check. The local news, if you had it, was definitely paid for by ads. And honestly, you only really got this news if you were able to watch it at the times it was on. Sure, they had 3 times a day with news, all of which coordinated with bankers hours.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_Ameri... says that a 17 year old is not a "standard adult" when it comes to sex.

> I do know that I (and everyone I know) was having sex at 17.

Quoting the link:

"There is however a close-in-age exemption that allows minors 16 and 17 years old to consent with someone no more than five years older than themselves and minors 13 to 15 years old to consent with one another, but not with anyone 16 or over"

> Stallman's point is that calling this "rape" merely because of the jurisdiction in which it happened serves to trivialize the word "rape"

The relevant crime is "rape in the second degree", so the term "rape" is the correct description.

Now, Stallman disagrees with that categorization. But without knowing what Stallman's definition of "rape" - and knowing that his description of "sexual assault" doesn't reflect an understanding of the legal definition - it comes across like he is minimizing what "rape" means by rejecting some of its definitions.
Because it's called "Finder" so it'd be weird if you were already in the right place.

But seriously? You're right. Modern software is rushed out the door according to a marketing deadline. These kinds of details never get priority. Nobody gets promoted at Apple for these kinds of things.
That attitude is why plenty of graphical developers rather adopt platform APIs instead, because we get the full package for anything graphics related, instead of learning to make fire with sticks.

I did my graduation thesis in OpenGL, hunting for libraries that kind of work together, and doing from scratch what every other OpenGL beginner has to go through, is no fun.

Every Vulkan book does the same, first set of chapters are tips about which libraries to hunt for.

The dark side allows for a better gratification on time to pixel, instead of rites of passage.

Something that Khronos has failed to learn with OpenGL and their Vulkan SDK proves that they didn't actually learn their lesson.

If Vulkan SDK was actually at the same level as DirectXTK, Metal Kit, 3DS SDK, PhyreEngine,GX2... maybe it would get more love from those us that rather embrace the dark side.
Interleaving can boost your learning
I am not sure I buy into this narrative so much anymore. The game is old and the original userbase has moved on. I am not convinced that WoW could ever have kept catching new players and retaining the old ones however they chose to proceed. The burst of excitement for Classic will last a while and then fade too. I think, at least.
On BSD, jail() is used as an extension to chroot() specifically to improve the security for externally accessible services. Breaking into ftpd (jail() has been around that long) would only give an attacker access to the configured subdirectory, and not /etc/passwd and shadow.

The reason chroot() isn't a security feature is because Linux only half copied/re-implemented that feature. Properly implemented, it's a decent idea.
Intel Processor Trace: Better Profiling Experience
Given the presumably-larger number of hours I figure you put into football vs. into intro sociology, that hardly seems surprising.
There are several more ways you can escape chroot(2) through VFS attacks (nd->root protections are very minimal).

However, the more important point should be that there is a similar syscall which doesn't have the same flaws as chroot(2) because the protection is based on mount namespaces -- pivot_root(2). The problem with chroot(2) is that the mountpoints above "/" are still accessible by the VFS internally. pivot_root(2) gets rid of the mounts and so VFS won't reach them anymore.
His definition of "sexual assault" doesn't match with the legal definition. Not by a long shot.

It is not a reasonable debate about the terminology to throw away all current definitions and create new ones, without at least explaining why the current one is wrong.

Tactics like BLUF are the sad sign of times. We put too much emphasis on hacks, efficiency, and tactics instead of learning and practicing age old rules for good writing or whatever else we need to master.
Then you just spoof those too.
I'd argue that everyone has an agenda, and so everyone's political. Us tech people were for the longest time arrogant enough to think we can "get around" the normal political system, e.g. hack it, disrupt it, change it from without.

Facebook is political. Uber is political, Airbnb is political, Google, ...

Hopefully there's going to be some mind shifts. We need to work with the "other side", not around them.

The same that keep writing security critical code in C, without any kind of static analysers and code fuzzing as part of their build.
This is scary attack.
I think the traditional concepts of CAs has showed again and again that it does not work. Yet cryptography is worthless if you can't validate who you are talking with. I would propose a system where multiple parties could sign the SSL-certificate and these would be shown as badges in the browser. The more badges the more trustworthy.

Say for example that you have an online store. Then the local tax-office could sign your certificate if you are a registered company in that country. If you have a contract with VISA, they could sign your certificate. The authority for your top-domain could also sign the certificate to prove you own the domain and so on.

And for a customer buying from this store, seeing these badges in the browser would let them decide how trustworthy the website is. I actually think with this solution getting the users to understand would be the least problem. The big problem would be to get developers to authenticate the certificates while doing back-end calls. I mean how many developers even does this today?
I am waiting to purchase this : Nokia 2720 Flip [1]. I think it would be a great replacement because it has 4G support, Google Assistant, Maps, and Whatsapp. Pretty simple but also, suffices basic needs.

This is the more correct escape (EDIT: and works today):

fd = open(".", O_PATH);
chroot("foo");
fchdir(fd); // escaped to "." and chroot no longer blocks ".." past "/"
chdir("../../../../"); // go to real "/"
chroot("."); // broken out

The "chdir .." trick used to work a long time ago. The man page probably hasn't been updated in ~20 years.
Not a war, yet still a pretty big happening, a paradigm shift that can be very traumatic too - East Germany from socialism into capitalism and unification. How you hide that? A good and funny movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Bye,_Lenin! :

"The story follows a family in East Germany; the mother (Saß) is dedicated to the socialist cause and falls into a coma in October 1989, shortly before the November revolution. When she awakens eight months later in June 1990, her son (Brühl) attempts to protect her from a fatal shock by concealing the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of communism. "
Isn't that more a function of competition than necessity, though? Players who don't put in that time will be benched or cut from the team.

Regardless, I wouldn't exactly call that a virtue. The team members are dumping intense amounts of time into something (while risking literal brain damage) for a tiny chance at a place on an NFL team. Most of those players will leave the university and spend the rest of their lives not making a cent from their sport.

Not saying it's unreasonable to devote time to your passion, without expectation of monetary reward, and if football happens to be it, that's cool. But a university is a place to educate oneself, and it seems a bit sad to me to spend the majority of one's time there not actually doing that, especially when the actual use of time is unlikely to help much for their future outside of school.

I've learned a bunch of things on the job:

- Picked up Finance on the go as it was required for the job.
- Learned a lot about concurrency, java, python3, modern C++, React as I needed them to get my projects to completions.
- Another thing which was completely orthogonal was political philosophy and it's interplay with economics, and to extend it further, behavioural economics.
- Then there are soft skills like writing concise emails, presentation skills and general witty banter which I picked up as well
You can easily find this yourself. One major issue is that we're pricing people out of neighborhoods their families have lived in for years.

Failure to thrive is an ill-defined term that strikes me as a tad histrionic in this title. The article indicates worms lost 3% of their weight in contaminated soil versus a control group that gained 5%. It's not the dramatic figure I was expecting from the title.

Clinical assessment for FTT is recommended for babies who lose more than 10% of their birth weight or do not return to their birth weight after three weeks.

Saudi Arabia oil facilities ablaze after drone strikes
I don't even follow the internal logic of that message. It's a reply to somebody applying a legal term and pointing out alleged specifics that seem to match with it's definition. And his rebuttal is an outright refusal of two of the main criteria in the legal sense (IANAL but victim's age and location of the alleged crime seem to be pretty relevant), mixed with a switch to a "dispute" about the definition of another term that a bygone generation takes issue with.
Btw, I know that anything involving golden mean smells like crank science. Note that Wolfgang Klimesch is field topping in EEG research citations...

Is there an "observatory" that monitors drone warfare - I have heard of drones dropping grenades down tank hatches, and lots of requests from western air forces for anti drone measures but this is the first "big" target I have heard of.

Plus, worryingly, this does seem a fairly automatable attack. The limiting factor for the attackers must be the supply of drones plus any concerns about wiping their geo fencing / remote self destructs built in. As someone who would get his drones from the local curry's I presume the attackers have some other supply channel ?

What you don't think happens on its own and what you think also happens on its own. The illusion is that thinking is you, identification with thinking. Once that is seen as an illusion you can observe yourself talking, thinking and verify all this happens on its own.
Number of badges is not going to help if you can’t trust any given badge — no matter what the details are, given how automated attacks are, it is reasonable to presume that as soon as you’ve worked out how to circumvent one, you’ve probably figured out how to circumvent more of them than will fit in a browser bar at once.
"Quickly" modifies the verb, "a good boy" is a noun phrase.

"You are smart" is a better analogue, clearly active voice. "You are hit" is another analogue, clearly passive.

I still believe that we can read the original sentence in the latter way - with "entitled" a verb used passively. I remain unsure as to whether we can read it the other way - with "entitled" as adjective.

A number of companies like D-Wave, Rigetti, IBM, Intel, and Google already have processors working on quantum principals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_quantum_processors). There are also examples of quantum algorithms that are demonstrated to work. The main question is weather quantum computers will be able to do anything that classical computers can't do (or do it cheaper/faster). There is still a number of obstacles that need to be overcome to make quantum computing reality—a so called DiVincenzo's criteria:

- physical scalability of qubits;
- qubits initialization
- dealing with quaantum decoherence
- universal gate set;
- reliable reading of qubit states

> Exercise can absolutely contribute to weight loss

That's not what the evidence says.
The man page is out-dated (and Michael Kerrisk has posted on LKML that he plans to rewrite it). You don't need to do chroot("/") -- that operation makes no sense because there is no semantic difference between chroot("/") and doing nothing (even the kernel can't distinguish the two cases).

What you need to do is the following:

mkdir newroot/oldroot
mount --rbind newroot newroot # if newroot isn't a mountpoint
pivot_root newroot oldroot
cd /
# and now get rid of the old root's mounts
mount --make-rslave oldroot
umount -lR oldroot

At least, approximately. There is a more clever way to do it by doing "pivot_root . ."[1] but posting that here just makes it more confusing. As a complete aside, this is what container runtimes do when switching to the container rootfs -- and is the main reason why --no-pivot-root is incredibly insecure (because it uses chroot).

Ask HN: Is the Open-Source Google Voice Builder *Really* Tied to GCE?
I'm just checking out this project: https://github.com/google/voice-builder

And I reason that if this really is an open source (though unofficial) product then it probably isn't using the GCE functionality for Text-to-Speech. ( https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/ )

The code uses Firebase (etc) though.

Can anyone confirm? If the engine is any good it'd be good to know that it isn't hard tied to any specific cloud vendor ...

Otherwise I've just tried MaryTTS (which worked really nice).

Can you recommend any other good Free, OSS solutions? eSpeak really sounded terrible, IMO. ( http://espeak.sourceforge.net/samples/raven.ogg )

> ... and student loans

With so many students exiting college with crippling debt, I'm not sure this is still a sustainable way of paying your way. Work study can certainly help, but the pay of even a fairly skilled job will fall far, far short of the cost of tuition, room and board, textbooks, etc.
I think also that any competitive game over time will optimize for the experts or be optimized by experts. Fighting games is another example, and a lot of rhythm games are. MMOs that focus on PvP too.

I think some people on reddit argued that this happened with fortnite, and was part of why Apex Legends got so popular; the casuals that liked to pvp got driven out by the experts and tried to start again in a new game.

> That's far less exciting, and probably also kind of obvious to most knowledge workers.

I think his point was that, obvious or not, many knowledge workers organize their work that way and this will actively cause psychological harm.

I wasn't fond of his technology metaphors either, but I think the point he wanted to make was a valid one.

Though, using the metaphors as a tool of argumentation might also make sense because do use terms like "multitasking" a lot when describing situations where you have to switch around between different activities a lot (and implicitly justifying it because the activity is also seen as simple and basic - because computers do it all the time)

So it might be useful to drill down on those metaphors and show how incorrect they actually are.

(If you want to nitpick on the metaphors, I think he had threads in computers come off too easily: As probably every kernel developer can tell you, OS context switch absolutely do involve a complicated machinery of instructions - and as every application developer knows, having multiple threads can absolutely lead to chaos if you have no strategy how to manage them)
Oh, post some bloody evidence will you. Whenever drugs get raised someone comes along and makes unbacked blanket statements like this that don't help.

> Using chroot is no safer than not using a chroot.

This is terrible advice. Software should drop privileges early, and chroot is as important as it has ever been. Other useful things include seccomp-bpf and pledge.

OpenSSH and Postfix is absolutely safer because they drop privileges after reading configuration and binding ports.

From my experience at corporate projects, you don't get to hire other contractor, rather management two levels above you get a nice lunch with the management level from the other side, and few things get sorted out among a couple of polite disagreements, and you need to be happy with whatever was delivered or go look for something else.

Does the manufacturer of cars that they provide for the border patrol contribute to the "increase of suffering"? This technology is directly related to apprehending more migrants, in fact those cars are used on the ground to do that exact thing. Some of those cars are used to separate children from families by driving them away. To clarify, my point is if you see such technology as directly related, then cars would also be directly related?

I know that "DevOps" is one of those terms that can mean whatever the user wants it to mean (like "agile" and "REST" and so on), but at least with DevOps, I've mostly only seen 2 types of common definitions:

1) "DevOps teams" are just rebranded operations teams

2) "DevOps teams" are teams that are responsible for both development and operations for their app

I think the first one is the one you're frustrated with, and I agree it's a completely useless label when used like that, but it's not definitely not the only way it's used.
Actually 'niksen' in the way we dutch use it can be used negatively. I think it's most commonly used that way 'ben je weer aan het niksen?' (parent/boss tells child/employee to go do something useful). Although sometimes people might say they are 'even lekker aan het niksen' (the pretext here is they are normally busy, so they are taking just a little while to relax while they can).
