Yes! A former coworker dug up my old O2 running a 6.5 variant, installed cmake and built BRL-CAD ( http://brlcad.org/ ) with it. Supposedly, it worked quite well (but took a very long time, I believe it was a low end cpu, I want to say 183mhz). Given that I rewrote the build system in 2003 for BRL-CAD to use automake instead of cake, I'm very impressed by cmake.
It's a good word irregardless.

Self-signed certificates are perfectly useful. Weaker security is still better than no security at all. For example, even unauthenticated, SSL protects you from log analysis after the fact. MITM is not the only threat model.

If it's a personal page (say, a public-facing login to your NAS) you can always check the SSL fingerprint too. You don't have to remember the whole thing, just remember a few characters and check that they're right.
Security is really hard, you need everything perfect all the time. It's easy over look something, or just say "eh, no one will ever find it". It's hard to make sure a million or even 1,000 lines of code are 100% safe. Writing totally secure code takes much longer, much more skill.

That's my perspective on it. I first took calculus as a junior in high school, and the majority of it boiled down to memorizing what the derivative of `x` type of function is and what the integral of `y` type of function is.

When the AP test rolled around I was really struck. The problems were about the flow rate of water descending into a tank and what happens when you put a drain here with this rate of flow, etc. Completely different from our earlier problems which could be solved by rote memorization. And from my perspective - one of a student who knew a bunch of calculus "rules" but lacked understanding of how calculus really worked - this was incredibly difficult.

I got a 3, which is passing, but opted to take beginner-level engineer's calculus when I got to college anyway. Even if you "learn" calculus in high school, it does not teach the level of mathematical maturity required to understand the higher level manipulations. This kind of thought is the foundation for any good engineer, and I have no regrets about retaking the course.
This is exactly what I've been waiting for, once the multiple repos feature has been added.

ISPs voluntarily (yes, voluntarily) agreed to ask new customers if they want to block certain categories of content (gambling, violence, adult material, etc.).

This is not censorship. At first I could understand some people being ignorant of the situation and assuming it was some Firewall of China for porn, but now it's taking the piss.
Actually, I suspect the waterproofing makes it safe.

The fear with electronics immersed in water would be some toxic substance or another leeching into the water. But the point of the waterproofing is to protect the electronics from the water, which should also protect the water from the electronics. If they do it right, it should just be aluminum, glass, plastic and rubber contacting the water. If they used a food safe rubber or plastic it's good to go.
Yes. Like Martin Luther King and Gandhi. If you don't see what they did as open revolt, I don't know what you're seeing. If you don't see their protests as violent (even though the violence was done to them), I don't know what you were looking at.

These people risked their lives every day for their causes, and lost them. That is not comparable to banner ads.

On a recent BBC Horizon, two identical twins went for a month on two separate diets. One of the twins ate a high carb low fat diet, the other did the reverse.

By the end of the experiment the one with the worse metabolical and biological outcomes was the twin on the high fat low carb diet. In fact the doctors told him to stop as he was becoming pre-diabetic.

This is not the way to look at it.

In short reddit IAMAs are basically free marketing exercises masquerading behind some kind of idea of "we did it, reddit" - that the audience has some kind of power. It doesn't, it's basically a false idea.

#4 seems to be generating a lot of controversy, because the reverse also leads to burnout.

First, if you expect every job to last 5+ years, you'll often make suboptimal choices when it comes to balancing your own needs vs. the stated corporate objectives. Mistakes #1 (single-project myopia) and #5 (long hours, to the detriment of the rest of one's life) occur when people lose the ability to look outside their own jobs. If you have it in your mind that you absolutely must stay with a company for the next 10 years, you're much more likely to make those sorts of mistakes.

It's ideal that you get a good job and it lasts 5+ years, but you have to go to work with the understanding that the world might change on you in an instant.

What you need to do is focus always on your career. Try to kick out as much of your work to the open-source world as you can. Network before you need it. You need to play so that if you lose your job tomorrow, you'll be OK. Because you just might. It can happen to anyone at any time. If you plan your career properly, though, the next job will be a step up. It's when you're constantly moving around with no progress-- spending 6 months out of each year "on-boarding" into parochial corporate knowledge instead of career-advancing general knowledge-- that you'll burn out.

Leaving a job stupidly is a mistake. If you're learning a lot and something mildly annoys you, quitting in a huff is the wrong way to go. When you get something good, hold on to it for as long as it lasts. But don't throw good time after bad, either, because that will lead to burnout just as quickly.

The truth on all of these is that there are tradeoffs. Is it a good idea to work long hours? If a month-long burst of 80-hour effort will buy you career advancement that'd otherwise take 2 years, then suck it up and work. If it's just going to get you more grunt work (which is usually the case) then blow it off. Similarly, with job tenure, I think the poker player's maxim-- be very selective, and very aggressive-- applies. Fold losing hands early, but when you have cards (i.e. a job that's doing a lot for your career) then play it hard.
Grizzly answer for obesity
I have never understood the 'love of money". You need money to live comfortably, but I don't understand Trump,

make their "bundle" in their mating years. I have further
noticed a more than a fair amount of obtuse, fugly, mean
men have a need to make too much money. I sometimes think
it has evolutionary roots? As to Allen Watts; he was
a success for what he valued. A lot of people ask why he
drank so much vodka if he was so happy and enlightened. I personally think it was a different time, and alcoholism
just crept up on him and no one really told him to stop.
Even twenty years alcoholism was not concerned the killer
it is today. As the the money worshipers of this generation--I can't relate. I see the fitly Lookers everywhere--and you are ugly. I always felt the most beautiful women in the world are Amish. I have always felt
this way--and it's more than just good Midwestern genes.

One of the things that ruined full fat milk for me in the UK was the introduction of homogenised milk. It ruined my morning porridge where my dad and I would pour off the cream that settled at the top as a breakfast treat. Homogenisation spoiled that for us.

Full fat homogenised milk also created a greasy slick on top of any hot drink you added it to.

Since then I've only consumed semi-skimmed milk. It's a shame we mess about with perfectly good natural products such as milk.

Who says they messed up? IBM sold their server business and Lenovo didn't want all the employees. IBM made money off the sale, IBM saves money not employing everyone anymore, profits and shareholder value.

Well, the vast majority of active community members didn't even get to opine on the matter so it's hard to say. Also I'm not sure the encyclopaedia can be called an organisation, and the WMF weren't involved, save JW opening the discussion.

As an aside the people that wrote the open letter (https://thedaywefightback.org/letter-to-wikipedia/) could have instead opened an RfC on-wiki (no account required). It would just take a few minutes to figure out the MediaWiki markup and read the relevant submitting an RfC help page.

Science Finally Figures Out How Pruney Fingers Work
I dont think the person you replied to meant a crash, but rather an implosion. i.e. a massive failure in the bitcoin protocol that renders it useless. This is the only way in which no one will want to buy coins. In that situation your best bet is sending your coins to an exchange and selling them into the listed buy orders which have not been removed because the person who listed them is either asleep or unaware of the news.

However this is incredibly unlikely, bitcoin went though a fork last year that caused some problems but was quickly rectified, this current maleability issue is also being worked on to get a resolution. These sort of network wide problems are problems with the fundamentals of bitcoin and should, by right, affect the price of bitcoin much more than say government regulations in China or India, that they dont is because most holders of bitcoin understand that these problems can be resolved with some dev time and BTC has some great and comitted devs working on it.

Namecoin (NMC) had a similar issue where it meant that web addresses linked to NMC were not secure, that caused a crahs but no where near going to zero and that is a coin with minimal developer support.

434 THOUSAND workers is incredible.

What you could you possibly do with so many people!
If you want reasons other than negligence.

The biggest reason is likely universities: I was there not too long ago (6-7 years), I wrote code that was secure against SQL injection - which lost me marks. They teach you to write insecure code and so help you God if you don't stick to what they have taught you.

Secondly is human error - that's to do with buffer overflows etc. You might say that we have static analysis, but...

Thirdly is that our static analysis tools simply are not "there" yet. They will catch the vast majority of vulnerabilities (especially when coupled together with contracts) but there are those corner cases that only a very creative security analyst will find.

Honestly though, if I was ever in a fire/hire position bringing SQL-injectable-code to a code review would be grounds for being fired on the spot.
I'd strongly disagree with your statement that psychoanalysis doesn't work, just from personal experience. In the aggregate it may not work for everyone (and there's the minor issue that saying "psychoanalysis" is a bit like saying "programming" - there are a lot of schools of therapy and a wide range of abilities within those schools), but it's certainly helped me a great deal.
That's true, so I think the "omg big brother" people should calm down a bit. That having been said, this is the first step to softening people up so they'll accept more stringent/imposed censorship down the line, so it's still something we should argue against (but misrepresenting the issue does us no favors, I agree).

I'm unsure what you're hoping to accomplish by releasing this?

Also, you (or whoever 'DaRkReD' is, referenced in the script comments), released this on 01-22-2014 to hackforums.com. Personally, I find arming the script kiddies to be inexcusable behavior.

From the hackforums post:

> NTP has a feature called monlist which lists recent clients. Asking for the monlist takes about 90 bytes, the monlist is about 1640 bytes and since NTP is UDP we can spoof the IP origin and those 1640 bytes will go to your target of choice. As a result we have an 18x amplification attack so for every 1 byte you get sent you get 18 bytes sent to the target your home internet can now DOS 18x faster!

I agree, I can live with these minor behavioural infractions by both products because they let me get far more stuff done than by not having them.
Calories in v calories out is absolute in terms of weight loss/gain, but that's just a quantitative measure, not a qualitative one. For instance, the famed "Twinkies at a Caloric Deficit" diet will cause you to lose weight, but not in any sort of good way, and will do all sorts of terrible things to your health, not the least of which is deprivation of important micro and macro nutrients.

Sugar isn't inherently "bad", but the way most people consume it is. High sugar foods, in essence, have very poor bang for your caloric buck.
From TFA:

'Kroes said: “Some are calling for the International Telecommunications Union to take control of key Internet functions. I agree that governments have a crucial role to play, but top-down approaches are not the right answer. We must strengthen the multi-stakeholder model to preserve the Internet as a fast engine for innovation.”'

And the concrete actions they propose have more to do with 'Establishment of a clear timeline for the globalisation of ICANN and the “IANA functions”' and finding ways to resolve conflicts between the laws of different countries.

This does not look like government control, just change over the ICANN (a private US non-profit) and the formation of a global advisory group. Can it deviate into government control? Sure. But that doesn't seem to be what is being proposed.
Any pediatrician that recommends skim milk is a fucking idiot, plain and simple. Get a new doctor.

I'm not super impressed with the average doctor in the USA these days, but most decent pediatricians tell parents to give kids whole milk. If they are remotely educated on nutrition beyond decades old medical school knowledge, they are aware that current guidelines state that the additional fat soluble nutrients in whole milk are great for kids.

My son's pediatrician told us (when he was 2), "don't even waste your time with anything other than whole milk. Otherwise you get all of the sugar with little of the vitamins"
Statistically Significant Failures: Failing the right way
The difference is not that great. The biggest difference is in the antibodies; most of the cow antibodies aren't going to help you since you can't catch the disease they protect against anyway.

The only adults who should specifically avoid milk are the ones without the lactase mutation, since they cannot digest the lactose in it. This applies to human milk as well.
In this particular instance, the command is saving you a total of two keystrokes. "You could probably get by in a pinch."
Gonna have to call you up on the cell phones I'm afraid. It has been pretty conclusively proven that there is no link between cell phone radiation and cancer [1]. Unless you call a study of 420,000 people over 20 years insignificant...

And as for a mechanical explanation why cell phone radiation doesn't cause cancer: It's because the radiation type used is non-ionising! As for thermal effects, it's orders of magnitude less than standing in direct sunlight. It's basic physics. (Well perhaps not the ionising radiation part, Einstein got a Nobel for the photoelectric effect...)

This myth has been debunked as pure fear-mongering time and time again. The only slight recommendations that are issued are for longer term studies - simply because cell phones haven't really been in heavy usage for more than 20 years. Pure fear of the unknown, despite study after study showing no effect.

Note that this is indeed almost always, rather than actually always. My mail server is configured to refuse to send to Google (and a few other hand-picked sites) unless protected by SSL. The converse is, unfortunately, not yet true.

DANE[0] should allow me to put DNSSEC secured records in place to tell Google (et al) that they should always use SSL to talk to me too, but I don't have DNSSEC support for my domains yet and my version of Postfix isn't new enough to be able to use it for outgoing mail either.

More frustratingly, many popular email providers (for example, BT) don't support SSL at all. That lowers the bar for eavesdropping from active MITM to passive listening.

"Government control of the internet, by any government, will inevitably lead to censorship."

You may be right about that specific point. So what's the alternative? Corporate control? UN?

If the net is governed by some form of institution, then that institution will need widespread legitimacy. I'm not saying that the current controllers have that, but a transfer of governance won't happen without it.

A good thing though is the programming methodology is shifting its stance. As framework-based programming becomes mainstream, which it almost has, for any half-decent setup- the programmer will create loop-holes because of his _stupidity_ and not because of his inexperience in the programming environment.

As fixes come to the base of the infrastructure, the benefits would evaporate throughout the stack on top of it. Ideally, a developer should focus on features, priorities and deadlines. It sure as hell may be geeky, but it is not cool to force-everyone to-know-everything.
Let's face it, the internet is centralized (hierarchical), not distributed. ICANN has taken giant steps to being a "global" organization, but in the end it's still a californian non-profit.

These reforms seem to just aim to make ICANN a more globally managed organization, and increase transparency in top-level decisionmaking. I can't see anywhere where it says it wants to increase governments' ability to block cat videos.
