I think the git log is an interesting place to document this kind of thing. Also, there should never be redundant comments. I do think though that lots of folks put things in the git log that _should_ be a code comment. For myself (as most of the people I can think of that I work with), we don't reference git commits unless we are actively investigating a previous change. You should not hide reasons for code being the way it is in the git commit; it should be exposed for direct observation to someone who might edit the code. Ex: '// the following delete call is required to remove the item from the DNS cache to ensure the test validates non cached dns items'. That should be in the code.
Sound audible from that distance to the audience area for this thing would require a lot of power.

Of course. Even subgroups within the Christian church itself have been guilty of such atrocities at various points in history. But to say that all organized persecution of Christians ended with Constantine is just historically wrong.
Cracking hashes stored using a known insecure hashing method, of which a vast majority (if not all) have been cracked years ago, and making it look like something fantastic and new using some clickbait title.

Also, why use Python - just use hashcat/jtr. Makes no sense writing your own code that won't perform as well as compiled password cracking tools.

Now do it again but with a more modern password storage method, such as bcrypt, and see how far you get.

I kind of do it like this. Others use subjects that complete the sentence "This commit...", so their subjects will start with "adds", "fixes", etc. Though that adds one or two extra characters!
The detour it too far. Remember the earth not flat: the shortest line is curved not straight. The most direct route typically goes too far north. A stop in Russia or China would make more sense, but even than the detour is a bit too much.

Bach is my favorite artist & composer. There are times when I listen to a cantata of his and I feel as if I am in possession of a total understanding of life that departs me as soon as the music ends. It's a mystical and intellectual pleasure that has been among the chief joys of my adult life.

Show HN: Rapsberry Pi “Magic Spellbook” Home-Control Kiosk
Double ovenized crystal oscillators have lower phase noise (short term variations) than rubidium standard oscillators. Atomic oscillators are ridiculously cool and it's quite surprising to me that they perform worse in phase noise than a mechanical system that is thousands of times larger. The best explanation I've heard is that the signal that comes out of the physics package is a weakly modulated light source that has a (relatively) low SNR. This isn't a big deal because that signal is used to discipline a series of other oscillators. If each of those disciplined oscillators were very low phase noise you'd probably have a very nice rubidium standard, though you'd be paying many thousand dollars.

In my last days at a test lab I examined the effect of an external reference clock on jitter noise floor measurements. It was a new BERT (1 year old) and an equivalent time oscilloscope that had not been serviced in 4 years. The external clock was a NIST TMAS rubidium standard. The measured jitter was lowest when using the instrument internal oscillators, implying the instruments have pretty excellent oscillators (no surprise) and that the effect of aging/lack of calibration had not been a serious issue. There is also the possibility that the external clock training circuits were not as nice as the internal clock training circuits.
Yesterday, on the anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, they tested out an early warning system hooked up to the system that drives Amber alerts. This will deliver warning of an impending earthquake, tens of seconds before an earthquake hits (in supported areas, like SF) due to the propagation speed differences between an earthquake's P-wave and S-waves.

(Japan has had such a system in place since the 90's, and will stop bullet trains and surgeries just before the earthquake hits.)
This title is a little misleading. The original title of the post is "Search Engine add-ons to be removed from addons.mozilla.org", which implies that a special class of addons will be removed from the online store and merged with regular extensions. Firefox has never supported OpenSearch in the same way Chrome has, where you can type in "yout" + tab and search YouTube immediately.

Opensearch engines could be added to firefox from this page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search-tools/ .This in practice was just an extension but a different schema. They probably just want to consolidate and maintain only one schema for all extensions.

Now, it is still truly surprising to me that it's easier to use third-party search in Chrome than in Firefox, given all of Mozilla's talk about the Google monopoly. In Chrome, adding a search engine is as simple as going to chrome://settings/searchEngines and adding a string like "bing.com?q=%s" while in Firefox the only way I can find out so far is packaging an extension and loading it up.
How to get fired as a software developer

If you look at the chart, you are ordinarily exposed to "natural background radiation", which is 0.01 mSv.

1,000 chest X-rays per year would be 60 mSv -- which is over the 50 limit for nuclear employees. A chest x-ray isn't really comparable to an hour spent on a commercial flight: it's sixty times as much radiation.
Does this mean that they're also removing the search field?

The context OP was speaking to is factory farm conditions relative to animal welfare on the "traditional" 100 herd farm. Fields, grass, no hormones or unnecessary antibiotics.

Singer argues that these conditions aren't good enough, agriculture inevitably leads to stuff he can't live with. That's a reasonable thing to argue. I disagree. It's not reasonable to argue that these conditions are a practical impossibility. That either prices skyrocket or cows can't fields. It's not true. It is possible, and common.
Goodness, that heat with humidity, I can’t imagine how bad it must be.
These things are not all-or-nothing.

I have one compute device, the GPU, that I program with its language (eg GLSL, OpenCL).

I have another compute device, the CPU, that I program with its language (eg C, C++).

I have code to control these devices, that mostly handles scheduling and waiting on the results of these computations (as well as network traffic and user input), and I program that in a language that supports functional style (eg C#, TypeScript).

I'm sure you know because you're Steve Klabnik, but for other readers: you can enforce documentation for public items in a crate by adding `#![deny(missing_docs)]` to the `lib.rs` file.

Then it just takes some self-control and gold code reviews to make sure you're writing good documentation rather than just short stubs to silence the error.

I hope this is as easy as someone writing an extension that restores the functionality. Maybe this can spur some innovation for Firefox users via extensions.

Oh please... Yes, Micro-Focus is mentioned, and for all I know a Micro-Focus employee might have written the piece. But they're only mentioned in passing, and the bulk of the article is a solid coverage of the history of COBOL, which is interesting in its own right. If MF get a little extra attention as a result of people reading this, I - for one - am not going to begrudge them that.
Don't know about these drones specifically, but off the top of my head there are a variety of different navigation systems you could use to supplement GPS for extra precision.

1. Inertial Navigation: basically taking measurements of your speed and direction of travel and using that information to update your position. This is not very accurate, and the longer you go without some other guidance system the less accurate it will get, so I'm not sure how useful it would be here. But it's fairly easy to implement, you just need to give each drone the ability to measure its speed and direction, and you would probably want that to correct for wind anyway.

2. Terrestrial guidance, where you used some fixed landmark or set of landmarks and look at your position relative to it, which can be done with cameras or radar or lidar. Probably too expensive to use radar or lidar, and I'd worry about interference between drones.

3. Command-based guidance. Rather than having each drone try to figure out where it is, you have a separate system on the ground that looks at the drones and tells them where they are. Since you only need one of these command units, it wouldn't be too expensive to use radar or lidar, and no worries about interference.

4. Real-time kinematic GPS: kind of a mix of 3 and 4. You basically have some radio stations broadcasting, and the drones triangulate their position based on that.

Not sure what kind of drones these are, but if they are the Intel Falcon 8+, they have GPS + intertial built in, and they are meant for survey work, so they might have the Real-time kinematic thing also.

> it's also understandable if a user wouldn't want to be tracked by 3rd parties, at all.

For what it's worth, the author claims that Simple Analytics respects the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting, so that user would be able to have it his way without needing to install EasyList. But of course that is something that requires a degree of trust, and DNT seems to be a failure for the most part, because of all the other parties that do not respect it.
It’s also good marketing to invoke Swiss privacy voodoo as a market differentiator. “Your email securely stored in France,” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
The atoms in the distant stars are the same as the atoms here, but they are being shaken around relative to where we are - that is an explanation in terms of space. It relies on the motion of the atoms in the distant star being faster than the speed of light relative to us.

The atoms in the distant stars are the same as the atoms here, but they are emitting light at a different time relative to where we are - that is an explanation in terms of time. It relies on destructive interference between the light we emit and the light the distant star emits.

The two explanations are geometrically equivalent.

They are consistent with the worldview of people like Maxwell, Bjerknes and Hertz. They looked up at the sky and saw stars in jiggling jello. It isn't a bad heuristic. It just went out of fashion.
In the article it’s mentioned that
“ Qatar, which is the largest per-capita emitter country of greenhouse gases, according to the World Bank — nearly three times as much as America and almost six times as much as China – uses about 60 percent of its electricity for cooling.”

“ Air conditioning accounts for less than 10 per cent of China’s or India’s electricity use.”
This article is not about Amazon.com sellers or competitors; it’s about about software vendors that offer hosting solutions for their software, and then find AWS also offering hosting solutions for their software (or something compatible.)

If, as you suggest, AWS is Amazon’s profit-center and Amazon.com is their loss-leader, that’s another point in the OP’s favour arguing that AWS isn’t killing your AWS-competitor business. (Because AWS would have to make money, if it were to be used to prop up Amazon.com; so they would not be unfairly dumping AWS prices to outcompete your AWS-adjacent business.)

Good info - yes my employer MITM's certs, but this is the only site I've run into with this. If I visit a site which violates policy, there's an error page that specifies which policy has been violated, it's not an obtuse cert error.
If it's doing TCP then there's a whole network stack to attack. I bet there's a big range of embedded systems that can be crashed because they have a simplistic cut-down, non-hardened TCP/IP/Ethernet implementation that can be abused. You've got a chance of breaking it through sending malformed packets to cause a panic, or just exhausting its memory - which might cause it to reboot (maybe lots of fragmented packets?)

The lack of listening ports might shrink the attack surface, but a malicious endpoint that it connects to might be able to confuse it. (or perhaps some evil MITM attacker)

Most jobs need less prior training than you might expect. A lot can be learned in a short period of time when you are on the job.

I haven't seen any statistics, but it looks like only a few well known mods are leaving. So, almost all mods are remaining.

There are a little over 600 total moods on StackExchange. Over 20 mods on the StackOverflow part of StackExchange. The announced departures from StackExchange are in the tens.

For better or for worse, SO will be able to scrape by with the remaining mods.

The only real problem for SO is the lack of trust. I've lost trust in the employees of SO. With every post from a SO employee, it gets worse and worse.

Who are the direct competitors of SO, if any? I would like to use a different site, if possible.

On this page which is updated daily,
https://stackexchange.com/about/moderators
I count 629 moderators across 173 sites.

For example, the Wayback machine shows that on December 9, 2018, the moderators on the StackOverflow part of StackExchange were these 26:

Michael Myers, Robert Harvey, BoltClock, George Stocker, Brad Larson, ThiefMaster, ChrisF, Flexo, Ry-, Bohemian, meagar, Martijn Pieters, Jon Clements, josliber, Madara Uchiha, TheLostMind, Undo, deceze, Aaron Hall, Bhargav Rao, Andy, Cody Gray, Yvette Colomb, Samuel Liew, Rob, Ed Cottrell

Today, I see these 23. If you remove George Stocker, 22:

Michael Myers, BoltClock, George Stocker, Brad Larson, ChrisF, Flexo, Ry-, Bohemian, meagar, Martijn Pieters, Jon Clements, josliber, Madara Uchiha, Undo, deceze, Aaron Hall, Bhargav Rao, Andy, Cody Gray, Rob, Baum mit Augen, Jean-François Fabre, Samuel Liew

Yes. That's a significant drop, but not enough for the users of StackOverflow to notice a difference.
That seems really ass-backward, and not just because I use the search feature a lot.

If I'm reading that right, they're deprecating support for discoverable browser-independant markup for searches; and replacing it with the requirement that each site actively develop (and maintain!) a software plugin for every browser their users might want to use.

The whole point of a "user agent" was to go out and do things for me on the web; and the idealistic goal was that each person could choose an agent suited for them, which then had tools to programmatically discover and interact with the web in a common manner (reducing engineering load on the webdevs).

And I don't want to try and use a separate search tool (with new flashing graphics and ads!!!!) for every site I go to... I want a single search tool, like FF offers right now. (Aside: not to mention chrome's "auto-discovery of opensearch when you tab after typing a domain" is actually MORE useful than FF's manual mode!).

Taking a step back and removing support for a declarative api seems to me like the really wrong direction for an open web. Instead of sites supporting a single declarative browser-independent markup; they now have to deal with a long tail of (2-3 + who knows how many) browsers; and users with a niche browser have to spend effort convincing every site to support their browser.

Why not try to improve the opensearch markup instead?
Can you give an example of where they are just selling open source packages without any infrastructure behind them? The selling point of aws is the infrastructure they provide.
You used to be able to make an XML file with the search query and base64 encoded icon and put it in the search engines folder in your profile. It wasn't the easiest way for non technical users, but once you knew how it wasn't bad. It made it easy to backup, together with bookmarks.html.
No, I’m asking sincerely. They’re claiming knowledge of internal conversations at Amazon about these issues and then questioning whether the grandparent had supported warehouse workers in a protest action.

I don’t think it’s “flaming” to inquire more or less the same thing they did of the original poster, especially since they stake out public support around these issues as some kind of litmus test.

Bad documentation covers obvious things very well, and doesn't cover tricky parts at all. This is especially what you get if the writer of the documentation is paid by the amount of written text: there is no incentive to spend time investigating the hard parts, but a lot of incentive to explain the easy parts in too much detail.

With reference docs, I really value the examples.

Describing the syntax, in a formal way is necessary sure. But I often skip down to the examples and that way I get a feel for it quickly.

Bonus points if the examples are thoughtful in the way they start with simple cases and move up to more complex ones while remaining practical and thus easy to imagine their usefulness.

For the Middle East it's the biggest issue though, because the others could be solved, or at least alleviated, with money. But Middle Eastern economies heavily rely on oil (90% of Saudi exports, 94% of Iraqi exports, 72% of Iranian exports, etc). Take that money out and this entire house of cards comes down.
also in the 80s, when I served in the secure communications group we had a Burroughs computer that was the first generation to have not used tubes, it was the main computer for this application. Could boot by switches or paper tape.

not that the base computer for personnel and other records was much more modern, cards were still used till 89 for many applications; this was on a Sperry 1100/70 ? I remember my first turbo pascal program was used to replace a Sperry program used to upload card images to the system; we still had paper cards for some departments.
