I created a simple browser extension that said "Hey! Don't do this." if I went past the first page on Reddit. I could have circumvented it at any point, but that amount of effort is enough of a deterrent.

I recently disabled the extension, but I still never go past the first page of Reddit now!
"Obamacare, for better or for worse, is being launched on a NoSQL database system" - silver bullet did not help (along with HTML5 etc. whatever).
Nice explanation. I'm surprised that no one so far mentioned a cool trick for getting around this using a different way to define mappend as function composition, to make sure ++ is applied in the right order, since it's from LYAH (scroll to end of the linked chapter):

Unsurprisingly, the words "targeting" and "collecting" were used interchangeably when convenient.

In similar fashion, "metadata" was again used as a red herring.

All domestic communications within the United States are currently intercepted and stored for at least 5 years, including content. Perhaps that wasn't a desirable talking point.
Is HTTPS not secure channel for communication between client-server? What is the reason behind using an entirely different protocol for client-server communication[0] over HTTP?

Agreed.

The 1:30 solve for a rubix cube is a bunk time too. I think I got mine down to 45 seconds which I referred to as "faster than anyone who can't solve a rubix cube" since it sounds impressive, but most guys who are amazing at it can do it in less than 15.
This is rough luck, but getting specific servers hacked is more commonplace. In the AWS billing console [0] there is an "alert" option. It walks you through setting up the various types of alarms.

If you're hacked the most likely problem you'll get is a spike in data transfer costs. You can up the alarms to, for example, email you if the bandwidth usage goes above x (cost) over y time period.

I had a perl DOS bot get into a server, took about 2 hours to trigger the alarm. Shame I was fast asleep at the time, but the idea was there...

Reading this reminded me of a post by Yossi Kreinin, the author of the C++ FQA (http://www.yosefk.com/blog/low-level-is-easy.html ). It's a good read and it will show you the whole thing from a different perspective.
That's actually quite a smart idea. I was first thinking of just /etc/hosts'ing everything to localhost,though that might be a bit harsh.
I agree that the "curator" role you're describing will be important, but I doubt it'll come in the form of user-programmed home servers.

Sure the techie types will always want to get into the nitty-gritty, but my mom can't even set up a router, let-alone program it.

I think the future is cloud-based (ugh, buzzwords, but true) services like IFTTT (https://ifttt.com/) that let non-technical users manipulate content/events without touching code.
From their FAQ:

>Q: How secure is Telegram?

>Very secure. We are based on a new protocol, MTProto, built by our own specialists from scratch, with security in mind. At this moment, the biggest security threat to your Telegram messages is your mother reading over your shoulder. We took care of the rest.

Oh good, a bunch of randoms have rolled their own crypto. I stopped reading at this point.
I've never heard anything like that, odd they don't mention it in the article. Got any intro-level references? How does it work?
And didnt the BIOS virus require admin interaction to activate the attack? An admin would have to OK a firmware update. So, its not like this would ripple through entire systems. An admin might approve the first update, see the hardware just got bricked and stop. Virus or not, if an update bricked my computer, I'm not going to try it again on the thousands of machines that I manage.

They made it seem like this exploit could have knocked out every computer in the nation. What was the real risk here?
LOL. NSA is spying on all H1B employees, foreign students and rest of the world. If they have that capability I am not sure how exactly they would filter out US persons.

Secondly, these people have the history of lying to Congress itself. I am not sure if they give any shit about media and general public.

As a non-american one thing is absolutely clear to me. Given two equal services always choose a non-american one.
Hey what's up, bro? I have unsolicited suggestions both personal and professional.

Professional: Your thing needs to be more specific. List more concrete crap that admission officers want to see, particularly meaningless statistics that these people would get off on, since this is B-school, emphasize on BS skills: e.g., improved user conversion on X project from 10% to 25%. led X project with Y developers using X PM methodology and delivered to customers Z months ahead; just throw in one tech skill for good measure.

Personal: You seem to be very 1) implicitly smug about your accomplishments and 2) vague about your goals except that you are fixated on prestige and the Asian immigrant story, such as listing your wife "being a doctor" and your very endeavor of applying to "b-school" and your family's "started from the bottom now we here"; no one cares, bro.

First, you have to learn how to toot your own horn without blowing your cover. Stroke other people's egos like applying to b-school, figure out the crap that those people care about, e.g., "innovation" and pretend that you buy into their system, I used "big data to analyze which African village is in the most need for water and went out and tried to get grants." Have to brag yourself and give a reach-around to the powers-to-be without appearing to brag yourself.

Second, you have to learn how to have a real concrete goal. Don't care about your family, don't care about what awkward nice things people have to say when you solicit rec's from them. Say something real, like "I want to be the next Korean superstar and take over the world!!" means more to me than "Data Scientist". I may not like "Korean superstars" but at least I'll have respect for someone who knows what they want and won't take crap from anyone.
Replacing SMS I can see, since whatsApp/GroupMe/iMessages/whatsoever is already doing so, but replacing e-mail? Why would it replace e-mail in your opinion? I think IM/chats have a completely different purpose compared to e-mail, which unfortunately is often times used wrongly imho.
> One argument for the 40 hour work week is that we've simply built a complex global society around it.

Which I passionately hate. Banks around here strictly adhere to the 40-hour work week, which obviously results in banks only being open when, you know, everyone is at work. Consequently, if you need to interact with a human at the bank, the only option you have is to skip lunch break.
Too Different, Not Different Enough: Why Instagram Direct May Fail
Sure, it's called most any support/operations team in large IT shops. Since most IT places staff ops and helpdesk for coverage, they get more creative and flexible with shifts. Developers are seen as task-oriented so they get the business hours when the boss is in the office. A 4x10 shift is what keeps me in my current role, by and large (also because I work a "shift," I can completely cut off from work when I'm not at work because other people are paid to work the other hours). Our current shifts run 10 hours days, 10 hours swings, and 10 hours nights with each "side" of the week working four days. Each shift on the same side of the week overlaps with the preceding and following shift by two hours and all shifts overlap at some point on Wednesday.
I get no significant difference with -Ofast for either icc or gcc. My code is still untested and quite possibly buggy, but I put it up here: http://pastebin.com/qB0DfkXN
IS is aimed at business in the sense that it is aimed at semi-technical or non-technical roles. Which means it's watered down.

CS is significantly more respected when it comes to engineering jobs. It is also more respected for product management, project management, and the like. Google, for example (extremely selective, obviously), targets CS majors for entry level product management roles.

> Are there any non-self employed developers/engineers here that are still being "forced" to work 9-to-5 or similar?

I used to work at such place. The "office hours" were 9-6 and people were expected to adhere to that. I was an architect on a project and engaged in highly creative work so I tried to make my hours slightly more flexible, because honestly, my output was very high and I didn't think it mattered whether I was there 9-6, 10-7 or whatever. Soon enough I got called into a meeting with the company president and an HR person and was sternly told that if I didn't start showing up at 9am straight that I would be let go. I tried to argue that the hours don't really matter for creative work and was told "Don't try to make this company into something it's not".

Some places are completely fucked up and beyond toxic. It also just so happens they're run by idiots.

Looks like we have come far away from standard federated XMPP. This is really depressing.
You just miss the point. "Retard" "evolved" by being used as an insult, because mentally handicapped people were looked down upon. Because being likened to was an insult (just like "bitch" [1]). For those affected, and those who caring more for them than for those who can't be arsed to expand their vocabulary into other directions, it still means "mentally retarded", and it being used to mean something else, something derogatory, is still hurtful and thoughtless. Exactly like saying "being a girl" when meaning being squeamish etc. Whoever downvoted that either didn't get the sarcasm or the point.

Well, for one thing, if congress itself or it's members are attacked, they are very likely to declare war with an unspecified enemy. Such a declaration would immediately transfer full authority of the armed forces to the president (to be used freely outside of and inside U.S. territory), and this until a peace treaty is signed. Furthermore, if an attack is in progress, this declaration does not require a majority vote, the president merely needs to find (what he reasonably believes to be) the highest ranking member.

So one (probable) difference would have been that president Bush would not have asked Congress what to do if Congress was directly attacked. He would have simply decided what to do and done it, after having received the declaration from Nancy Pelosi.

This would have lead to the combination of having a single deciding vote of what to do with the armed forces at the command of a single politician, making for easy and quick decisions and the entire country clamoring for revenge.

I'm not saying it would necessarily have lead to immediate counterattack, but it certainly wouldn't have lowered the odds of that happening.
There's a lot of terminology that the vast majority of people understand poorly. By itself, that hardly seems a good reason for a (supposedly) scientific magazine, particularly when using 'sex' exclusively would understood by everyone.
Huh? 1tb hdd was released in 2007, 2tb in 2009 and 4tb in 2011. Looks exactly like Moore's law to me though we've been set back by Thai floods of 2011.
Another factor was health care. Without a job that provides healthcare for you, you have a hard time moving to another state. You couldn't take a leap of faith and move to a new state based on your savings alone. If you had a preexisiting condition, you couldn't get healthcare so you were less likely to move.
Transferring Data Through Human Body
I also don't get this. If we stopped trusting HTTPS, how are we supposed to make sure that we get an unmodified app from the play store, or the original source code from GitHub in the first place? Am I missing something?
No politician ever shut down J. Edgar Hoover, and not for lack of wanting or trying. Hell, they have a hard enough time with relatively innocent bureaucracies. Do you really think No Such Agency lacks defenses from political interference?
Did you use restrict?

I made a simple test
void nsum(float v, float acc, int n, int vc )
{
int j, i;
for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
for(j = 0; j < vc; j++)
acc[i] += v[j][i]v[j][i];
}

And then I tested the same function with a different declaration
void nsum(float * restrict * v, float * restrict acc, int n, int vc )

The version without restrict qualifier had 1.01s runtime. Version with restrict had 0.45s runtime. Both were compiled with identical flags (just -O3) using the ancient gcc 4.4.5. (vectorizer is enabled by default at O3 even in this version).

That's 2x speedup with a simple pointer definition.
So what you're saying is, this blog post is a... puts shades on request for comments?

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Totally agree that article is talking about creative workers. But the factory example is concrete and great for a basic discussion on the question of "why the hell are we working so much when productivity has increased".

And completely agree stuff is negotiable. But as mentioned, if not here then above, I think being your own boss has the highest possibility for that.

For example, the ONLY people working <40 hours at my job are all independent contractors. They come in, do exactly what is asked, and GTFO. My company doesn't want them to "take on this as well" because every hour costs a pretty penny :).
I would wager pretty strongly that the 1 MB limit will be raised (or removed) in the not-to-distant future.

The difference between 'dist-upgrade' and 'upgrade' is that 'dist-upgrade' will install new dependencies (additional methods) if necessary, while 'upgrade' holds back new versions of packages that add new dependencies.

Between point releases, there really shouldn't be new dependencies. Maybe if some library is found to be totally broken from a security point of view it is replaced by another, but that happens very rarely.

So usually, the two commands do exactly the same thing for point release upgrades.
Yea, definitely agree way to go is managing by tasks not time.

But then do you find games emerge? For example, do devs sandbag their time estimates so they only get 2 tasks instead of 3 tasks?

And what happened when you needed 50 tasks done, but the time estimates from your team, combined with the cap of 48 hours per week, fell short of 50 tasks?
Like Threema, they use the PGP model, instead of OTR...

$ is a way of controlling precedence in Haskell

But much more importantly, is `apply`.
Until I read this article, I never realised where the term "endianness" came from:

"...computer scientists got their inspiration for the term 'endianness' from Jonathan Swift's 1726 epic Gulliver’s Travels. In the fictional kingdom of Lilliput people have to open their soft-boiled eggs at the small end (it's a royal decree). While in Blefuscu, eggs are cracked from the other end. Lilliputians are small-endians while Blefuscudians are big-endians."
Came here to say this. I also don't understand why "secret chats" can't be kept in the cloud. Why can't they store encrypted messages and give them to me to decrypt when I want to?

sorry someone stole my laptop, post on this computer is a pain. One last thing.

DO NOT walk away with the notion that

With Integrity = Good

With Out Integrity = Bad

Consider that Integrity is just there or not, and when it is there it provide a foundation for workability that's all.

"It ain't no big deal."

In this case, one organization is just out of it. :-) It is like a statement "the moon is round". Either good or bad.
Slangs in Perl6
When I'm arranging my photographs in folders, I prefer yyyy-mm-dd. That way it stays in chronological order.

However for casual reference, when year is not needed, I find dd-mm more intuitive. I guess it has something to do with reading from left to right... at a glance, it's just easier to comprehend.

I've always found mm-dd a bit odd to use.
Yeah, it's weird that people try to justify being completely backwards by pointing at someone who's half-backwards. YYYY-MM-DD is the only way that makes any real sense.
Kerala Government To Distribute 10,000 Raspberry Pi Computers In Schools
too bad the iOS application design is just a Whatsapp ripoff.
They're not called salespeople because they're not salespeople.
Some hardware (such as the raspberry pi) has its network speed limited by the usb network adaptor.
So many dubious claims on just the front page:

* 'delivers messages faster than any other application' - any application? Hmmm. They must be using magic.

* 'messages are heavily encrypted and can self-destruct' - but like every system, the self-destruction is not assured since it's impossible to enforce.

* 'keeps your messages safe from hacker attacks' - a bold claim. Maybe they do some stuff to protect messages, but it's not the perfect safety that this statement implies.
Worse, possibly.

Your profile looks like you're an objectivist. But as others pointed out, you can't just dismiss anarchism off-hand.

The solution to that where I live(Lebanon), is that banks have 40hr weeks but instead of 8x5 they are 7x5 + 1*5. That is, they work 8am=>3pm on weekdays and 8am=>1pm on Saturdays. It's definitely less than ideal but at least if you need to interact with an actual human at a bank and it's not extremely urgent, you just go there on Saturday.
Looking at [1], it has several red flags.

The replay protection is overly complicated and doesn't kick in after the message is decrypted. This makes it possible to DoS the server with forged messages.

Key derivation uses a custom scheme. Typically there's no reason NOT to piggy-back on existing schemes and there's plenty to choose from - from TLS to IKE.

Also, as already mentioned, there's again NO reason not to use TLS in Anonymous DH mode with an app-level authentication of the session handshake.

Designing your own crypto protocols is a very interesting challenge, but for practical purposes you just have to recycle existing designs. There's really no other way about it. A custom crypto doesn't make any difference for those who doesn't know/care about it, but it certainly will not make you any friends between those who does. Unless, of course, you can explain and prove why your design is better than those that exist already, and these guys don't do this.

I had to cold email a lot of blogs and websites for a long-tail ad network, and I must admit, after some tweaking and spinning, I was able to get a response in some 10% of the emails sent (of course, the first filter you turn on is WHO to cold email). And the concept behind has to be: let's start a dialogue.
But to give some perspective, my intention was to pay them for their inventory, and if you intention is to get their money, then I believe the response may be way, way lower.
