What do you do about the 20% who haven't been 'trained'? What next? Computer licences? How long will that take, and again, how many people will ignore it?

Then why are normal airbags so popular? I understand that most people value their own life above that of others, but obviously people don't believe that they will not be in an accident (whether through their own fault or the fault of others). Therefore this:

Can only be true if you value the lives of others very low. There are plenty of people who do not value the lives of others very low, so there is most likely a market for this. Besides, even if you are purely selfish there are good reasons why you don't want to kill somebody in an accident.

You're a lecturer with 200 people in your class. That's 2 days. Does the lecturer have to leave their computer all the time? Is their email programme going to handle this sort of delay? What do you do if the lecturer wants to send an email about updated homework due in a few days? Some students will have a 2 day head start, is that fair? Do you have to give them extra time/marks?

You're the first year faculty advisor. There are 1,000 people in that year. That's 1 week. Same questions as above.

(And in case you think "Well let the lecturers send more", what makes you think the lecturers aren't the problem in the first place?)
I treat SO like a technically superior colleague - if I'm stuck with something and have exhausted my other options (documentation, examples, research, SO search), then I'll phrase my question clearly, showing my progress and what I'm stuck on. This makes me look good to my colleague, and enables him to understand where I'm coming from. A lot of the time by writing out the question in full I'll be able to solve it myself by getting my thoughts organised.

Yep, with novels.

I've read many SF/F novels and got to the point where they were pretty predictable and only bought one or two a year for a while.

After a break of a few years, I've been enjoying a higher fraction again.

For me, I think, it's an ability to enjoy the suspension of disbelief. If I've been reading a lot, it's harder to do so.
They won't know until they process this first step into a working device with conductors and all the essential elements of a real storage device.

Hello. I'm an assembly programmer. I used a compiler to generate the majority of code, and can hand-craft any assembly that comes out of it. I understand how compilers auto-generate SIMD instructions can be more easily compiler-generated if I make a "struct of arrays" instead of "an array of structs".

TLDR: Real performance programmers need to understand the assembly a compiler generates if they hope to tune the compiler to generate optimal assembly. Also, GCC -O3 is prone to removing too much code and reordering it, causing memory barrier issues and the like. All multi-threaded programmers need to understand how the compiler generates assembly (ie: by reordering your code), and how it can generate new bugs if you don't use the right compiler flags.
This answer purports a myth that compilers are magical black boxes, the sum of millions of hours of intense academic research that "you will never understand".

Replace "compiler" with "computer". Doesn't that make you angry? Answers like these do nothing but prevent people from learning about them.

If you are interested in compilers, here's Edinburgh University's notes from the course "Compiling Techniques", probably a good place to start. Don't let internet tough-guys stop you from learning.

Sounds to me like the bigger issue is with the people taking the classes. I've taken a few online classes, and it was hard because it requires that you be on top of the work; otherwise the whole class can quickly slip away to a point where you can't catch up and have any expectation of decent results in knowledge gained or grades earned.

Not every class should be taught online, not every professor should teach online, and not every student should take online classes. That doesn't mean online classes are inherently bad; they're just different and require different people/circumstances to provide a successful experience.

Good bye HN thanks for the constant CENSORSHIP
It seems like a different sort of a thing. The trouble with drunk driving is that someone is doing something dangerous that could cause someone to get hurt unintentionally. The trouble with guns is that bad people intentionally use them to do bad things.

Stopping the drunk on the seventeenth instance of driving drunk makes good sense, because it stops someone getting hurt on the ninety fourth instance.

Stopping someone intent on committing murder on the seventeenth instance is too little too late. You have to stop them the first time, or make it so that they don't find murder to be an acceptable course of conduct regardless of the legality of the tools.

>There is nothing wrong with having gun control laws.

There is something seriously wrong with having laws you can't enforce. It erodes respect for the law in general and it promotes demagoguery and a dangerous trend of expansion in police powers as the law inevitably proves to be unenforceable, law enforcement demands dangerous powers that still don't allow the law to be enforced, and the new powers fail to resolve the issue that the law is unenforceable generating a renewed call for more new and dangerous police powers.
There are already laws against doing anything bad with guns, akin to laws banning drunk driving.

Gun control laws go beyond that. They seek to ban peaceful activities on the basis that it might stymie a few violent criminals... maybe.

Your analogy fails.

(e.g., Hotmail dropping all emails coming from Oxford)

This can be a problem for universities in specific ways. Students get emailed some change to course work, all students using hotmail don't get the email, students then have a case to appeal the (possibly) worse mark they received.
The problem is that there is no community behind it. The vast majority of C# programmers are do-the-bare-minimum-contractors who hang up their keyboard at the end of the day and go home to their Top Chef and NFL on TV. Those people don't contribute to anything in any community, let alone the open source community.

Your problem is that you're not aware of "the community", not that there isn't one.
>So ye, for users and 99% of companies in the world it is indeed as simple as doing an apt-get install postfix and follow some simple tutorial in configuring grey listing, black listing subscription and adding a dns entry.

Hopefully the tutorial mentions how to make sure relay is off. And it explains how to configure those magic auto-updates. And it covers amavisd and/or other anti-spam features. Also, I hope it at least mentions some basic security for the system.

My point is and stands: it is not easy to properly run an email server. Simply running apt-get install postfix does not a properly configured email server make - no matter how easy it is. This fact makes hosted solutions, run by people dedicated to running that type of stuff, compelling. Especially for those "99%".

I think the main problem is that Nathan incorporated the ConvertKit landing page versions INTO the article. Because the width is the same and the design of the blog and product page are somewhat similar, it's difficult to see while scanning, where the article stops and the example begins.

Nathan, you might be better off taking the landing pages out of the main article(lightboxes, new windows, something) to differentiate the article content from the subject of the article.

Cyber Warfare is going to Save Lives
I don't think predicting that the hero will win is necessarily indicative of intelligence.
My point isn't that it's a simple job. My point is that it's legal today, and that you /can/ do it. A beginner with a 20 ton press and some other simple tools could probably bend an AK blank and have a rifle in a week or so. I don't know what's involved in making the blank (probably a way to cut sheet steel and a jig for drilling accurate holes). Fiddly bits (springs and such) are available in kits; these are tough to make yourself, but people do.

There's a video of gun shops in Pakistan making perfectly servicable rifles under extremely primitive conditions. Of course, the folks doing this have a lot of experience.

Sure, printing would make it easier. No, the current 3D printer materials will not work. On the other hand, the AK is designed so that the receiver doesn't need to be uber strong, and we might not be /that/ far from the required material strength for everything except the barrel.

The linked post never proclaimed no one "will ever understand" compilers. That's just what you're reading into it. You try to get upset at it, so you do. It merely proclaims that compilers are incredibly complex, which is the nice thing about them. If compilers were stupid they'd be a lot less useful.

100Gbps and beyond: What lies ahead in the world of networking
I've had 4 emails in the past month providing information about the phishing emails from my department, JCR and IT services, and despite that a number of accounts still got compromised.

Couldn't agree more about education never actually fixing the problem.
I'm guessing this list as the same pitfall as food labels and is showing quantities based on the amount of energy (calories) in the raw material rather than using the amount of energy the human digestive system can actually exploit. For example while you might get nearly 200 calories of from 200 of white bread, you would only actually get 150 calories from 200 calories of many meats. I think that if nutrition labels changed to estimated "exploitable calories" that a lot of the magic diet nonsense would evaporate.
I'd also mention that it's in Leeds - even if I'd known the event was in the UK, I'd have assumed it was in London. Great to see this kind of thing in the North, keep up the good work.
What about airbags protecting the driver? It'd be cheaper to just drive slower and not use any airbags whatsoever? Yet driver and passenger airbags have proliferated.

Our Desperate Egos
I would rather not get into "X is better than Y", but this is not quite accurate.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I see a distilled Puppet syntax there, where Ansible (http://ansible.cc) is more about modeling both resource states and ordered processes across machines.

Ansible actually uses SSH by default but there's a 0mq accelerator if you want to use it. We don't just execute individual SSH commands, modules are remote resources that model idempotent state -- but don't stay resident. The 0mq accelerator came later. There's also a pull mode, and a local mode in Ansible. Using SSH is nice because you don't have the additional PKI, and all that comes with having to maintain that. (No needs of accurate NTP and DNS either, and working with Kerberized SSH and using your OS credentials is possible). Need to do non-root things? You can do things (if you have permissions) entirely as non-root.

Furthermore, Ansible does not have a dedicated daemon on the client. It's daemonless, and consumes no resources when not running. When running with 0mq, the daemon is ephemeral, stopping after a set period of time, to not consume resources.

It also requires no bootstrapping, so if you have blank cloud images with nothing on them, or brownfield systems in the field, you can just start managing them immediately. cloud-init and so on are great for this, all cloud tools can inject keys. For this reason (no agents), it's starting to look very appealing on embedded devices and network hardware as well.

While implemented in Python you can write modules in any language. Finally, Ansible's core focus is around making multi-tier orchestration easy (somewhat of a niche case), so that leads it to look a lot different at the language/resource level. But if you have just one tier, you can use it too.

It's frequently used to deal with rolling updates involving N-tier applications with monitoring servers and load balancers all in play, though you can definitely use Ansible just for classical config management.

I think part of the reason Salt may look similar to Ansible is Salt is clearly inspired by Func, especially the minion/overlord terminology, globbing, minion-to-minion, etc, and I was one of the original authors of Func at Red Hat. We were toying around with a message bus Func at the time and decided not to do it.

So, yeah, lots of tools in this space.

In Ruby config land, there's also Sprinkle, Rexify, etc! So many options!

I also assume that the USGS collects imagery from localities, but I think they are simply aggregating anything of sufficient quality that would be available under a FOIA request (or so, basically, cooperating with anyone that cooperates).

edit: USGS would be pulling in local data because it was more recent.

I've written lots of code that either GCC has autovectorized into SIMD instructions, or that I've represented using GCC's vector types which produce SIMD instructions. While it is true that a poor choice of data structure will preclude SIMD optimizations, use of a compiler does not preclude the same.

What happens when RSpec runs, or, what I think about testing with blocks
Driver and passenger airbags directly protect the purchaser, or the family of the purchaser. The purchaser cares specifically about these people and will be more likely to pay to increase their safety. In a sense, it's an easy sell.

This system doesn't increase the safety of someone dear to the purchaser and therefore seems to be less attractive, unless there is some other compensation, e.g reduced insurance rates.
yes, normal people don't care about the tech details and don't want/need to be experts to handle technology. but it is responsibility of the tech experts to make that possibility.

that's the hardest nut and that's the income comes. blocking some sources is simply easy. " We found Google Docs brings more and more phishing, OK let's just block it and sorry and apologize to our users." " We found again zoho brings more and more phishing, Ok let's block it too." Well, we will find more like this situation.

Oh, it's scary! Let's just block the internet and turn on our TV...
Didn't Salt build upon Func? And didn't the author of Func go on to write Ansible? My experience between Salt, Rundeck, Ansible, and Fabric was that Salt/Rundeck were too heavyweight and that between Ansible and Fabric, Ansible mopped the floor with Fabric. Just my $.02.
Compared to a lot of consultancy firms which simply have dry PR content in their blog, this is awesome, definitely proves the company knows it's stuff.
I half agree. C++ directly exposes the underlying computer architecture's memory model. Java abstracts it reasonably well and essentially results in a different model with different advantages and disadvantages (e.g. garbage collection and garbage collection :))

CMIIW, the project you mentioned is not really usable for customized bootstrap, it's all-or-nothing.

Since I want to include (customized) Bootstrap into Compass but don't use fancy stuff (variables etc), I simply rename bootstrap.css to bootstrap.scss and be done with it.
Let's be clear here - this is a rip off for you. I understand where you're coming from as someone who has seen people try to sell info-products on things I'm an expert in and know I could get for free however it's easy to forget the kind of mindset someone who would buy this has. In fact, I'd say many of us used to be the ideal customer for this type of product but as we've grown these formerly complex ideas are now almost just common sense to us.

This just isn't for you but I can see it having tremendous value. I work as a sole developer in a marketing department where I need to be an expert in web development and marketing. I have a lot of experience with landing pages (I usually create like 3 a day at least) but I'm still interested in the product and here's why:

The valuable thing about this is that it's a product that's been thoughtfully organized and crafted by someone with a good reputation that I trust and who has proven to most of us I think that he's definitely credible on the subject. I could find the free stuff if I wanted to but having it all organized, curated, and formatted for me plus the actual product he'll be launching saves me tons of time and effort. I could spend the equivalent of $300 worth of my time to get the information myself or I can send Nathan my $300, save that time, and become an even more effective marketer faster, which then gives me time to not only make back what I spent but turn a profit too.

Edit: Grammar.
We're using salt and while it's incredible buggy still it's the most impressive system we've used so far. It's faster than anything else because it does not go through the process of signing in through ssh and creating a unix session.

That might sound like a boring detail but it opens up many possibilities by doing things like asking all machines for their system time and then doing something with it.

Are pumper nickel bagels much better? That's what I've been telling myself ...
to get enough protein if you're even moderately active, you have to eat A LOT - eggs, milk, meat, tuna

Any time someone specifies "A LOT" as a nutritional guide I get a little skeptical. Keep in mind when you're eating these foods the whole nutritional profile to determine if you're over-eating something (or filling yourself with LDLs). Try to balance the eggs, milk and meat with alternatives like quinoa, spirulina, lentils, bulgar, etc.

If you are going to go big on animal protein, naturally fed varieties generally have more vitamins and good fats. And of course, always drink whole milk vs the skim stuff (more vitamins + good fats - and it tastes better!!).
