I want to vehemently disagree, stating that Zuckerberg deserves the spoils of Facebook's success more than any of the interchangeable programmers and businesspeople that worked for him.

...but I'm having a hard time making the same argument for all those who came before Zuckerberg, inventing TCP and GIF and even Geocities and MySpace.

With all those parts existing, wasn't it just a matter of time until someone would come up with something like FB, or better? Doesn't that make Zuck just as interchangeable as his database administrators and trademark lawyers?
It's shorter in Python:

sum(int(n) for n in input().split())

I'd argue it's an awful lot clearer, too.

Edit: A more functional version is shorter still, but I think not worth the readability cost:

sum(map(int, input().split()))
Most (low cost) airlines I flew used one, or two at most, of the door. It would work even better if you could use doors on both sides of the plane.

The problem is that usually, in most airports, this requires more than a single jet bridge per plane or walking on the tarmac

This does not apply automatically, but it is true that such restrictions are possible, and that there has been criticism that they are applied in too many cases and for too long times.
Nothing is ever that simple, and I'm saying this as a game developer working for a large studio.

To me, the most obvious issue wasn't the bundling or not bundling of kinect with every xbox - it was the fact that having it active was actively taking up processing power of the xbox, which was already more limited than that of the rival PS4. If it had been "free" to use from computational standpoint, then more games would have integrated it I am sure. But if using kinect in your game meant producing an inferior product for that platform(from performance/visual point of view) then kinect support was the first thing to drop. Kinect was dead for that reason even before Microsoft decided to sell kinect-less Xbox One.
You would get lynched by everybody! But we have to realize that anything we do to solve climate change is going to make our living conditions worse here and now, because we have spent the last century making every aspect of society dependent on fossil fuels.

I think it is also ridiculous to not do something, because we know what the outcome is going to be, and it is almost certainly going to be more unpleasant than an economic recession and a bunch of pissed off taxi drivers.

Edit: Also, note that I do not want to increase the price of gas through a policy affecting only gas for cars, e.g. via taxation. That will never work, because it is a local policy that will be a short-term loss for the first country to implement it. I want to limit the extraction of fossil fuels globally, causing the short-term losses to be distributed to every nation in the world which depends on fossil fuels. This will, as a consequence, cause gas prices to increase.

The difference here, though, is that NTFS does not have BTRFS's reserved area at the start of the volume. The BTRFS converter has to relocate foreign data structures out of that reserved area, meaning that the volume is not simultaneously both the old and new formats. Ironically, given what I mentioned, this conflicts most heavily with FAT.

Whereas the only fixed-position data structure in NTFS is the BPB in the Volume Boot Record, which it can even mostly share with FAT. In the FAT to NTFS conversion there is a point where (BPB aside) the two sets of filesystem structures are simultaneously valid.
Actually, I have experience here.

The problem is that anything you do that's potentially destructive in service of getting the system to be more sustainable is going to be met with heavy criticism. So you must be careful, the company has accepted the risk that they're in and you'll have to contend with that most likely.

First thing is first: is it a VM or a Physical machine? Things get a little easier if it's a VM because there might be vMotion or some kind of live-migration in place meaning hardware failure might not actually bring the service down.

Next thing is you absolutely have to plan for failure because the one thing that I learn as I learn more about computers is that they're basically working "by accident", so much error correction goes into systems that it absolutely boggles my mind and failures still get through. So, it's certainly not a question of "if" but "when" and plan for it being soon.

Now, the obvious technical things are:

* Dump the memory
* Grab any files it has open from its file-descriptors (/proc/<pid>/fd/) Your config file might be there... but somehow I doubt it.
Attach a debugger and dump as much state as possible

Be sure to cleanly detatch : https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/gdb/html_node/gdb_22.htm...

Don't use breakpoints! They will obviously halt execution.

If it was my service I would also capture packet's and see what kind of traffic it receives most commonly; and I would make some kind of stub component to replace it before working on the machine. Just in case I break it and it causes everything to go down that depends on it.

But, this is a horrible situation, reverse engineering this thing is going to be a pain. Good Luck.
Wow, that story did so well a week ago, I guess I didn't catch it.
I'm currently reading the Engines of Light trilogy by Ken MacLeod. In that universe, there is no FTL travel nor communication, but starships can travel literally at the speed of light. There are "spheres of influence" spanning some tens of lightyears, and the information delay between worlds is indeed a plot element.

> There is no reason why Facebook couldn't be HQ in Texas, Amazon in Utah, Apple in Nashville

I have one reason - access to employees, and a pipeline for more. The industry in Austin will always be just as big as the employee base + qualified college grad rate will supply, and not much larger.

Why can't they be remote? Every company has huge struggles with communication as they get larger, and start to spread out further and further. Until there ends up being a company that grows and sets an "example" for remote at actual "unicorn" scale. Then I think it could and probably will happen, probably in the next 10 years even. But not right at the current moment. Still, you have to consider where the executives + founders want to live, an oft underappreciated reason for companies doggedly sticking to the bay area.

Nah bro. I did my graduate studies and work in the field of environmental policy. You are speaking for yourself when you say humanity is incapable because that requires individual change.

According to these estimates:

https://appleinsider.com/articles/18/04/16/researcher-estima...

4 digit = less than 15 minutes
6 digit = less than 24 hours
8 digit = less than 92 days

Besides those estimates, other sources talk of
4 digit = a couple of hours
6 digit = some three days

even if those could be "lucky" events.

The "clever" bit, according to reports is that the procedure "frees the device", i.e.:

1) you connect the iPhone to the Graykey

2) Graykey does something in a few minutes

3) you disconnect the iPhone and it is the phone itself that in due time unlocks itself

Which plainly means that several devices can be processed per hour (and then kept on a shelf, connected to a power supply as long as it is needed).

So you are replacing state benevolence with the advertising industry's benevolence :).

If the news/media organizations cannot survive and profit without either help, then shouldn't they be allowed to wither ? Instead of imposing this garbage on everyone, young ones included. Or do we consider them an essential industry now ?

BTW, that news is important is also a "need" created by advertising, so that, .... they can show more ads :).

Although, this still fails to explain the mechanism via which such Cryptographic Service Provider would land on your computer (assuming this is still supposed to be a backdoor).
I think a good example is that average normal body temperature is 98.6 F (37 C) degrees, but if you have a high-grade fever which is around 103 F (39 C) degrees, you're feeling very ill, even though it's just a small raise in temperature.
Well, no wonder you don't get it, you have a pretty typical height. 10 or 15 cm make a huge difference in terms of seat legroom, especially taking into account that it's a well-known fact that tall people have a larger leg to torso ratio, i.e., most of the difference between an average and a tall individual is in leg length.

I'm 197 cm (between 6'5" and 6'6") and not only it's totally impossible for me to stretch my legs under the front seat, but in some airlines there is just no position for me in standard economy seats that won't physically hurt. When I fly for leisure, I pay to get more legroom, or just don't go. But since when I fly for work some silly regulations prevent me from paying for extra legroom, the first day after a longish flight I typically walk around limping.
I think people don't fully realize the magnitude of such a task. We're not talking about something like consoles where the attack has to meet a higher bar to be viable (be persistent across reboots and upgrades, work over the internet against the provider's infrastructure, etc.). And as usual, the attacker only needs to get it right once and they can afford to wait for months or years to find the exploit on the particular device they have seized.

A cross-platform title already would be very unlikely to use Kinect. For those games this hardware would just be dead weight. However, (as I was thinking of in my other reply), a killer app based around Kinect might have driven support for getting Microsoft hardware rather than Sony hardware.
Didn't know about about this project but I read more in the past hour and it seems reachable. Too bad it already has a destination. Hope I live to see the message it comes back from this.
```So, yeah I no longer call police for anything, they won't do anything and if you keep calling they consider you a nuisance caller and can create problems for you. It would be better to stop public funding of police all together and replace it with either private security contractors hired on a neighborhood by neighborhood basis, or citizen's patrols like the Guardian Angels, Black Panthers, or a version of Neighborhood Watch. ```

Alternatively look at places where police does function properly and consider what's different.

Because what you can describe like your police compared to the police in some African hellhole or the police where I live can vary between unaccountable mercenaries perpetuating class imbalances, ghettoisation, etc or a well functioning local guardperson or a mob offering "protection"
What do you mean? Just Dance 2020 for Xbox One still supports Kinect if you have one, and the PS4 version supports dancing with the PS Camera. You don't have to use the Move controllers or dance with your smartphone if you don't want to.

I think anything looking to serve China should at least avoid hosting on github pages until encrypted SNI is widely available. When someone visits the online documentation at trojan-gfw.github.io, the FQDN is sent plaintext as part of HTTPS.

If the data is plainly on github.com (like the wiki), it would at least require an MITM to see what you are reading. Of course an MITM might be likely in China regardless.

+1 to The Maker's Muse that was mentioned, but also I think it's best to learn by doing, so I encourage you to grab some of the simpler STL files on https://thingiverse.com and try printing them. It soon becomes clear what how long different types of print take, what kind of designs are easy or difficult, and reading the comments from others throws up further insights, such as the effect of different materials, etc.
In my opinion the problem with Kinect was that it was necessarily a 1-1 mapping between your performance and the character on-screen. The Wii, in comparison, could only sense broad gestures. The direct mapping of kinect requires a great performance by the player to make a great performance in-game. This isn’t what gamers are used to - they’re used to a kind of ability amplification through the controller, where they press a few buttons or waggle the Wii remote and Spiderman does a sweet backflip.

Playing Kinect games was either frustrating because the game would not recognise your gestures, overly complicated because there were too many possible gestures and no obvious affordances to the user other than ‘move your whole body somehow’, or simply too physically difficult for some players to perform.

It’s ironic that such a high fidelity input device actually limits the kind of games you can design for it. Some of the best Kinect games were those that used the input data for purely cosmetic purposes.
I don't think they are incapable, they are actively hiding information. Ben Krasnow had to reverse engineer a screen to figure out how to better refresh it.

Eink could have changed the world, yet the only eink display I and many people have it our kindle.
My point basically boils down to this, we obviously don't want to continue this trend for the next 100 years. But you could also make the argument that if we could make the planet hotter by a few a degrees and put a cap on the increase in heat, the rest of the planet should naturally become more amazonian/african habitat. Which I don't see how that is necessarily a bad thing considering that is essentially how nature is designed to balance itself out.

To understand the consequences of global warming to the fullest its worth pointing out that we need to understand how ice ages can occur and dissipate in the first place. In that phenomena we see that there is a natural balance that is occurring where nature has a way to modulate exorbitant CO2 output of animals in relation to the plant life. When trees grow in abundance and there isn't enough animals to breath o2 and produce co2 obviously the planet eventually over thousands of years grows so cold that plantlife gets concentrated to the equator. And then with evolution animals get bigger and more plentiful and therefore starts breathing more of the o2, producing more co2, the point being there has to an inequality where animals per mass consume more O2 molecules as a biological function than a plant consumes CO2. (which kinda makes sense if you think about the whole "circle of life" of cellular biology.)

That is the only way such climate changes could occur when the planet's orbit never changes in distance from the sun.

These climate changes occur reeeeeeally slow and of course that means its in an intricate balance with the slow process of evolution... but still with that being said we assume climate change is going to be a calamity only to us, but that doesn't mean its going to necessarily be something that the earth isn't already very well prepared to resolve on its own after were gone. And if it can save it self, that means we can just make sure we save ourselves by burying fallout esque vaults under ground, or going to Mars.
I was thinking more along the lines of a single power input like your home desktop PC. That you would need to splice into this power cable while it’s still hot.

For servers I expect that they would have redundant inputs, that you can easily hot swap it.

The second link had a video on how to do that. With multiple ways to achieve a power re-route, including a tool to easily splice into the wire. The easiest technique was to just use a sheath to touch the metal prongs on the cable.

But the surprise for me was the power strip technique, where he plugged in his battery source into one of the 6 outlets, thereby simulating a power input. I didn’t even know that was possible.
I used an Kobo Aura HD (~2013 E-ink tech), with linux and is was almost fast enough to keep up with aafire. Using vim on a arm mx507 wasn't that fast anyway, so that the screen wasn't really a problem. It would have been a useful system for when you only stay in the console, switching over to firefox was a full screen refresh that needed a sec, so I tended to avoid it. Sadly I didn't get the USB controller to accept my external keyboard in its OTG mode, which was a hack in of itself, so I dropped that project again, but I still look from some time to time for a way to do it again.

Greyscale works as syntax highlighting, you do can get used to it after time. But what greyscale does to you is that isn't that interesting to you anymore to look at the screen, so you do start get "bored" from it and the eye starts to wander around looking for something else perhaps pretty to look at. Nice if you want to look often enough out of the window, but annoying if you have work to do.

For at dark at night coding it isn't that bad. But having an AMOLED with the right colourscheme and low lightness setting is more pleasing I found.

I'm not so sure about that. Two thoughts: The main reason me and my SO don't have kids is a deep concern about there not being any sure way to absolutely guarantee that a new person brought to this world will live a happy and fulfilling life and that the ethical thing to do is to when able (SO finishing education) adopt a child in need to improve their lives.

This of course means that I'm currently pretty sure that most _parents_ don't get it and that the commitment is lost on _them_.

But I'm also sure that they aren't doing anything wrong by having kids, it's just that it aligns with a value we share to not, ever, be a problem for other people. This trickles down into as fine-grain things as walking efficiently in public so that others aren't bothered and running into you and spending countless hours helping people out with without any reciprocation. So when you do encounter a whirlwind-family in public where the parents do not care about affecting others negatively it's unfortunately easy to become judgmental.
It's... ugly? I started with PHP, like many. And the documentation was excellent, as were deployment options. But even though familiarity tends to breed sympathy, it took me only five minutes of seeing Ruby to question why I ever put up with PHP. Just the need to prefix $variables alone is off-putting, and so were the inconsistancies in style. There were camelCase() functions, but also under_score(). Sometimes it was search_all(), then find_all(), next all_matching(). Some counting method might actually return 0, others nil (for zero matches). And I seem to remember one even returned the string "0".

(not actual examples–I have luckily forgotten)
