> it can lead to a very dangerous fatalism. If you think it's in God's hands whether you survive a crash, why wear a seatbelt?

This seems like a red herring. I'm not a religious person, but the notion that it's possible for a divine power to influence human affairs doesn't necessarily imply the absence of free will.

Do you have evidence of this dangerous fatalism? Other than the tiny percentage of fanatics who want to be martyrs, I don't consider religious folks to be an especially reckless bunch.

With a retail broker it's moot - they charge you a flat $8/trade regardless of whether you add or remove liquidity. You never collect rebates or pay to take liquidity.

You can still choose not to cross the spread with a retail broker. Just place limit orders on the right side of the spread.

I'm an avid civil rights supporter, and unlike the ACLU, for me, that includes the second amendment. I've studied the second amendment extensively, and you're completely right. Gun control has primarily been a tool for oppression, in this country and before.

Maybe (being neither Democrat nor Republican) I just don't think in terms of left vs. right, but I definitely see your point. Having been involved with both left and right-wing protests though, at least a part of it is how the officers are treated. I've been at fourth amendment rallies and had pleasant conversation with cops, despite being there for a 'left-wing' purpose, and without giving any secret Republican handshakes or anything.

Many of the best venture capitalists and entrepreneurs have psycopath-like tendencies.

Think about the similarities. A good entrepreneur/venture capitalist should be:

-Ruthless, selfish, unsympathetic

-Capable of manipulating, good at acting, great at selling a concept and convincing others to drink the kool-aid

-Unfazed by negative outcomes

-Unaware of (or at least, unfazed by) social norms and the status quo

-Creative, capable of thinking radically differently than everyone else

I've seen this comparison a few times, and now I can't seem to find any of the articles that I have read.
I am alarmed by anyone who believes C code is easier to build and debug than a modern memory-safe language. C does indeed make it pleasant to build programs that are fast and seem resilient. But the best secure C programmers in the world still routinely manage to get things wrong. qmail, for instance, had an LP64 overflow.

Agreed. It seems at best that they're simply reformalizing RDBMSs in a different way, and at worst they're losing something (depending on how inheritance and linkSets work). Not all joins are analogous to single inheritance, and multiple inheritance is intrinsically complex in pretty much the same way JOINs can be, so where's the win?
well, if you are strictly interested in matching with the fewest characters, regardless of the apparent pattern:

That really depends. Error checking gets suddenly even more complicated if you also need some way to handle the case where the source string isn't a string.

If you don't know what your source is, how can you pass its length to the function? On the other hand, if you know its length, then you should know that it is NUL-terminated (i.e. it is a string), or you should be able to NUL-terminate it.

Perhaps there is some scenario where a helper function could also be used to force NUL-termination on a fixed-size source buffer (say, after fetching input with read()). But I cannot think of one that makes a lot of sense. For instance, having to forcibly NUL-terminate a bufferful of data from read() would imply data loss: you've read too much and now one byte was replaced with a zero. How would your safe function signal this error condition, and how would you react? In the end you'd have to fix the broken code so it leaves one space for the NUL.

By contrast, strcat/cpy generally speaking do not catch broken-code errors (that is difficult anyway); they only implement some correct code.

Also, reading past the end of the input buffer is much less likely to lead to an exploitable hole (unless you count DoS, but then how would your "safe" function react anyway?).

EDIT: One of the goals in OBSD helper functions is simplicity. The rationale being that if doing the right thing is too complicated, the right thing won't be done (lazy programmers!). And, of course, all complications make human error more likely. This is why strlcat and strlcpy are not the solution to any and all string handling ever; sometimes you need something smarter, e.g. for performance. But these functions are great when they're good enough (which is plenty often, if you trust any of the code that actually uses these!).
His commentary is very reminiscent of a lot of the Bitcoin doubters right now, short-sighted and ignoring the possibilities for innovation and improvement upon the current framework.

Actually, it would be kind of nice to have both... is there some law of nature which prevents them co-occurring?
Totally agree: cringe inducing article. The paragraph that really got me was the following: "Why does this matter? For one thing it means that for years, trading volume in Apple was being misreported -- a situation that can lead to a stock being mis-priced. The system also advantaged one kind of trader over another."

This is wrong on so many levels. Trading volume was not "misreported" it was simply under reported. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And it certainly would not lead to any mis-pricings. There is absolutely no way this could advantage one trader over another... none.

>psychopaths hate weakness they will attempt to conceal anything that might present as a vulnerability [...] ability to rapidly find weaknesses in others, and to exploit it

There seems to be confusion about what constitutes 'strength' and what constitutes 'weakness' in regard to human personalities (or 'hard' vs 'soft')

For example, compulsively manipulating other people is more properly regarded as a weakness, I think. Whereas getting up on a stage and being open and vulnerable in front of a crowd, that's strength. It can inspire people and produce lasting change.

People with heavy streaks of psychopathy, or narcissism, or whatnot, are on a different path to the rest of us. It's better to avoid them where possible, tempting though it is to hope they will eventually acknowledge their faults and apologise. However, not having access to various feelings is going to create straightforward problems in their lives which can in principle lead to private acknowledgement and progress being sought. So I refuse to regard them as incurable cases

Working for a start-up is a career opportunity, no matter how short the duration.

Most people who join start-up companies, have long term goals to start something later on in life, and the experience you get from working on almost all aspects of the business, and take part in critical decision making is highly invaluable in this regard.

Some people just like the excitement that comes with the uncertainty, and if all things fail, you can always get another job or start something if you are adventurous.

This post appears to come from a Sales (or businessy) person who tend to prefer a stable environment as against risk and excitement imo.

Actually, now that I think about it the foundation of the OP's case against the naming could be flawed.

From my perspective a career is made up of a number of jobs done through the life of that type of work. For a marketer it would be a few or many marketing jobs.

The perception for a potential future employee that a new job/gig/etc. with a start-up or a larger company is a good addition to building this foundation and progress in their career as a marketer/writer/programmer/etc. is an important image.

And hence start-ups should definitely continue calling it a career page.

The only exception is if the start-up believes that it is going to hurt the recruits career.

Also, I have never heard the word security associated with career as in "Career Security"; Job Security on the other is thrown around all the time.
But, would you not agree that it would be really nice to have separate strict vs. lazy types? It would bloat the syntax a little bit (e.g., Coq needs separate Inductive vs. CoInductive, Fixpoint vs. CoFixpoint keywords) but the benefits in terms of not having to find space leaks via debugging and profiling would be enormous.
Pornography is defined by intention of the producer or by the action of the viewer/consumer. Page 3 is porn because it's designed to be sexually titillating. A picture which was taken showing someone's feet, say, may have been taken without any desire to be sexual but nonetheless can be used as pornography.

Nuts and Zoo and what have you have photos which are intended to be sexually enticing, ergo they're [soft] porn.

Generally the demos can control [via the government, to an extent] the production of works intended to be pornographic but not the private use of pornography.

The *Santa* Brand Book
I get the point(s) - I think, but. . .careers don't have to be within one company. And these days, they rarely are. Also, once you're a few years out from your multiple start-up jobs, you may see how some hard or soft skill you acquired has contributed/is contributing to your career progression. Several years ago, I looked around at my peers in my current job and thought. . .I really was on a career path (though it was not particarly planned and it spanned a number of organizations and industries); I really do have more breadth and depth of knowledge and experience than I thought; even though I feel that my talents are often wasted, I really am viewed as more senior than I thought (salary ranges here are an open secret, if you know how/where to look). . .

Historically, soldiers have generally been reluctant to use their weapons. During WWII, around 20% of soldiers actually fired their weapons in combat. Even fewer shot to kill often aiming over the heads of the enemy. This is a form of posturing both to the enemy and their comrades. Through extensive use of conditioning, that rate and lethality of fire was raised during Vietnam and subsequent wars.

Even among tribal societies, warfare is highly ritualized in a manner that does not optimize for maximum lethality. Richard Gabriel, in studies on tribal societies in New Guinea have noted that hunts occurred with accurate feathered. Tellingly, tribal warfare employed featherless arrows. Similarly "counting coup" among American Indians involves touching rather than killing the enemy.

Cold blooded killers have their uses for society, especially in warfare. An excellent book on this subject is On Killing.
Chuck Moore is definitely one of the great computing heroes, especially if you're an idealist.

The problems with the GreenArrays product seem to be that it's too separated from the rest of the world, and in order to successfully interface peripherals (even SRAM, as covered in this video) to it requires completely grokking this alternate way of doing things, in addition to understanding the low level details of absolutely every interface.

Maybe I'm in the wrong circles, but right now if you can't shoot UDP packets out of something it doesn't really meet the minimum baseline for connectivity. If you're going to head off on your own (and certainly for energy purposes there would be good reason to do so) you need to have a simple bridge back to more standard land.
Yup. Twenty-five years ago I could walk out of a job and into another within hours. Things change.

I've done the meetup thing. I'll say that most tech meetups have been a total waste of time. "I have an idea for <x>. Could you be my tech co-founder and build it for nothing?". Please.

The other aspect of meetups is that a lot of them are loud drinking parties. I don't drink. No, not some prudish thing. I just don't drink. The stuff doesn't attract me at all. And, of course, if I my intent is to meet people I kinda want to be able to hear them. So driving to a meetup an hour away, at a bar, with loud music and booze isn't my idea of something productive. Could be wrong.

Scripts to automate Git and Rails workflow
I find myself typing over and over the same commands in the CLI to accomodate my workflow with Git and Rails so I made a collection a few bash scripts. They are in no way groundbreaking (I'm not a bash coder, to start with) but they save me quite some time. For example, instead of typing:

git add -A .
git commit -m "some comment"
git checkout master
git merge dev
git branch -d dev
git push origin master

...I can just type:

git_p

The same goes with Rails apps. I start many new ones and after creating a new rvm gemset, installing Rails, overriding the Gemfile with some common gems, creating a Users and Permissions model, etc... for the 6'772 times, I made a script that lets you select few things and then generates the new app with:

rails_create

I added them (with a tutorial) to Github here: https://github.com/nicoschuele/nscripts. There are others too (to drop, migrate and seed a DB, to destroy an app, etc). Maybe some of you find them useful.

From the article:

"Q: How did the breach occur?

A: Target isn't saying how it happened. Industry experts note that companies such as Target spend millions of dollars each year on credit card security, making a theft of this magnitude particularly alarming."

The article starts out by stating, "The stolen data includes customer names, credit and debit card numbers, card expiration dates and the three-digit security codes located on the backs of cards."

I guess, then, that the 'millions' spent budget didn't include basic compliance measures. Next time, Target might as well take out an ad in the NYT with all this info, though....It'd be less effective than what's already happened to them.
