While this is certainly makes the request's intent more clear, I suspect there isn't much gained here over simply POSTing the patch content. Other request methods can be implemented by the HTTP server itself in terms of the filesystem (e.g. PUT "simply" writes the content stream to a local file), but PATCH would require the server itself to have specific knowledge of the patch format and how to apply it in order to be useful. This could be farmed out a plugin or external program, but such a thing could just as easily live as a POST processor in [insert favourite language here] without needing to make any changes to the HTTP server or standards.

It's a similar tactic to the one often employed by banks and insurances in germany. They pretend that they are not liable, and every time someone sues and things start looking bad, they settle out of court to prevent a lost case. Keeps the stats clean.

We really need an act to forbid this kind of laws. That's the only way we are going to end this ridiculous cycle of "propose absurd and overreaching law"=>"protest"=>"law rejected"=>"propose another silly law". Otherwise one of these will pass eventually (like CISPA) and that's really what we are trying to avoid.
If I plot two lines on a graph for you:

y1 = 0.02x + 1

y2 = 0.10x + 0.5

Regardless of the fact that y2 started at 0.5, fully half of what y1 started at, at some point y2 overtakes y1. It's impotent to whine endlessly that a language used to be bad.

So PHP 5 years ago was terrible. PHP today is 'nearly as good' as Python (I'd argue it's better). In 5 years PHP is going to blow Python out of the water.

These languages that are 'better than PHP' have no appreciable market share, and it's not a vast conspiracy and it's not because PHP caters to the lowest common denominator. It's because they suck, fundamentally, at getting things done. WordPress doesn't exist in Python. Symfony doesn't exist in Python. Doctrine does, but PHP has more database drivers than Python so Doctrine is better.

You can be terse, elegant, and beautiful in Python. That's great, but no one I know has ever cared about what the code they're paying for looks like. They care about stability, agility, and testability - things you've been able to get in PHP since 2005.
But given the overwhelming landslide-class majority by which the measure was rejected I think he'd need to be a grade-A asshat to try it again any time soon.

I am not sure that your proposal will work for anything with a concert-like structure -- much less, Burning Man.

The problem is precisely the one that anyone faces: irrationality. You're asking people to state their price of indifference several days from now. Many people will systematically under-report that, few will systematically over-report it. Scalpers can exploit this. There is also a systematic problem of forgetfulness; there will be some people who simply aren't part of the initial bid but want the product -- and scalpers can make money selling to them. Scalpers themselves are a sort of free-market force and free markets will not eliminate them.

We've already got a system which the scalpers found a way around: the normal economic voodoo which we use is, "sell tickets at the door, then scalpers can't sell at a profit any more." That works incredibly well for most events. It could perhaps be extended to arbitrary events if overselling were common practise, but I don't know how you'd soak up the hate of the people who Couldn't Get In The Door.

I personally found it terrible. It didn't completely fit in the small window I opened it in at first (the "scroll down" text was not visible), and when I made it full screen, most of the screen was just white (and the flying elements weren't even hidden outside the actual view area). If you scroll it with the mouse wheel, or spacebar, it just looks ugly. It didn't even advice you to scroll in the right way.
It's almost like sometimes it would have handy to do

case ch <- defer foo():

and only have foo() be evaluated if ch is ready for writing and also chosen amongst the cases. As the (fixed) code stands either the Sprintf() and Sum() or Count() is wasted on each iteration. I suppose in some cases you can calculate the initial values before the for-loop and then replenish them in the case: when they're used.

The 'bar' needs competition. It has a monopoly on who is allowed to practice. If there were multiple bars then there would be competitive pressure for them to clean themselves up.

The Math 101 'proof':

Assume it can be proven that 2 + 2 = 5.

Then 2 + 2 = 5.

It can be proven that 2 + 2 = 4.

The closure axiom of addition states that the expression 2 + 2 is a unique number.

4 != 5.

Therefore it can't be proven that 2 + 2 = 5.

I'm sure it can't be that simple, but logically I can't see a reason why not.
Just as educated programmers can introduce bugs and it’s impossible to find a programmer that will write bug-free code, it’s also impossible to find one that will write vulnerability free code. Therefore educating programmers is not the solution; it’s part of the solution. And automated scanning is also not the solution, but it’s a big part of that solution.

> Automated scans are useless for finding all but the most trivial of vulnerabilities

I’m really curious about how you can make that claim. Automated scanning can find many very important vulnerabilities in a very accurate manner. We regularly receive user comments like this one:

“We have external scan performed by third party that found some vulnerabilities of our sites. Using Netsparker we were able to validate them and work on fixing them. More than this we found few others not reported by them that we had to patch.”

This proves that even a highly-paid security consultant can miss vulnerabilities that can be found by automated scanners. Not to mention that lots of security consultants also use automated scanners to speed up their task.

Finally, there are so many other issues to learn about that you can’t expect your developers to keep up-to-date with all of them: new attack techniques, new vulnerabilities that affect a framework, etc. So, even when your developers are educated about writing secure code, you can still create vulnerabilities in your application. Or when your code is secure in your staging environment, it can be not-so-secure on the production environment because certain settings are different etc.

> merely pokes around for a few well known vulnerabilities.

Modern web app scanners don't really work around the concept of testing well known vulnerabilities, there are classes of vulnerabilities such as LFI, SQLI, XSS etc. and scanners are intelligently (similar to an actual attacker / penetration tester) test these out.

You might be thinking about old school tools such as Nikto (also referred as CGI Scanners). Today, even those tools are doing a little bit more than just looking for well known vulnerabilities.

Interestingly, because of significant changes in the way we manufacture cars, I'd imagine there will be far fewer classic cars around in 26 years.

A car today uses a few very large stamped steel components coupled with intricate plastic pieces. Maintaining a car for significant periods of time is far more of an issue than it was with much simpler cars of the past. When a small component in a modern car fails, you need to replace significantly more of the car with a significantly harder to manufacture piece to get it working again.

Perhaps 3D printing will provide us with a way to produce bespoke complicated pieces, but there's a long way for that technology to go before it's usable for steel car components.

Essentially, modern cars are considerably more reliable in the short term, but very, very hard to maintain in the long term. Classic cars in 26 years will primarily be very high end or unusual cars today (I can imagine kit cars, Rolls Royces, Ariel Atoms and other largely custom cars sticking around) and cars that we consider classics today. A car that's made it 30, 40 or 50 years today is likely to make it another 50.

Sites like those generally in the business of seal-selling or doing very light security checks.

Many of them will only report out of date vulnerabilities (quick & easy to check) or very simple issues limited issues. Still a legit business obviously. Though the benefits are limited. Best way to check this, get a scan request and watch your logs. Most of them won't even do a POST request. How can you really check for vulnerabilities unless you test all the functionality in a web application?

I guess we should explain this in our website to distinguish ourselves from that pack.
This is absolutely true.

BUT, there are charlatans armed with little more than nmap and a cursory understanding of the output that sell themselves as penetration testers, for a whole lot more than I assume this service will cost.

This, at least, is normalized, repeated, reported consistently, and history is kept. That's worth something.

It's incomplete, but I assume at the price point, it will be more cost efficient and trustworthy than the other options -- the most popular of which is doing nothing.

Now annoyingly the ELB on AWS just bounces PATCH requests with a 405 Method Not Allowed. Our services are affected by this and I noticed there is a bug open over at Heroku regarding the same issue. It's something Amazon don't document though so you only find out through testing after you already created your planned stack...
The major point the came out for me from the article is how destructing ranking people "against a curve" is.

"Every current and former Microsoft employee I interviewed—every one—cited stack ranking as the most destructive process inside of Microsoft, something that drove out untold numbers of employees"

This was originally popularized by GE and borrowed by dozens of companies as a HR best practice. Now every major corporation tries to rank their employees along a bell curve as 1's, 2's, 3's and 4's and inevitably, they lose the 1's who quit in disgust rather than put up with this.

My hope is at least a few HR decision makers read this article, look at what is happening in their own companies and come up with a better way to motivate and get the best of employees. Quickly before this cancerous policy eats up the best talent in in the organization.
Equally worse is giving points to your team based on the budget you have to increase salaries. A system I currently live under. the result is stack ranking stuck at the 70% part... Death to motivation if you ask me.
