The severity of this bug depends on the privileges and the setup of whatever user ran that service then.
And if someone has nothing better to do, may I suggest to watch anything by Sean Parent. Some old adobe talks might be in low-res, but they were still very interesting, on the abstraction side of things.
So far for me there's a single big use-case for twitter, and it's the reason I went from a zero-tweeter to a "gee I should look like a normal, respectable upstanding Twitizen(?)[1]" user. For some very large companies, Twitter is apparently the best/only medium one can use to communicate with them about issues (regardless of how important they are).

I've found that when I don't want a response I can file a bug report or send an email. When I do I can publicly whine on twitter and @-someone.

It sorta feels bad to do but it really does work.

The use case I'd like to use twitter for is trying out some jokes/"deep thoughts", but I don't have enough followers so I just tweet them to the wind and I'll never how just how unfunny I really am. I can definitely understand why most people would use it as a follow-only service - it's somewhat depressing to knowingly broadcast to (almost) nobody.

[1] Wow that's been a word for at least five years. I guess that's not too surprising...
Counterfeiting of chips is such a big problem that the US DARPA has a major program to develop tiny cryptographic chips that can be embedded inside chip packages to prove their authenticity. It's called the SHIELD program (solicitation number DARPA-BAA-14-16 if you want to ask for money).
Maybe I should add another attribute to my original three - language complexity. :)
Shouldn't they be at the top of the address space then overruns would never hit them as they'd start below or does it not work like that.
Usually, yes. What is the wrong reason you are speaking of? None was given in the article itself.
When employers hire workers, the birthplace of the worker is irrelevant. For people with the same qualification and experience, why would you discriminate between someone from Ireland, UK, India or China. For you it should be the same, and it is illegal to consider otherwise.
Now, why doesn't this extend when converting them to a permanent visa?
Decent optical microscope is more than adequate for photos like that; electron microscope is for gate-level.

Zac Brown and Adam Laurie are doing awesome stuff (with cheap equipment, relatively) in chip teardowns; basically the stuff Chris Tarnovsky (flylogic, now ioactive) does with $5mm stuff, they do 90% with $5-10k.
I agree. I think Stoustrup got many things right, particularly RAII. It's not a consistent language, but its a very practical one.
Am I wrong to be turned off by the fact it uses MD5? Still far more secure than anything I could do in my head I suppose.
First of all, kudos, Varnish is an amazing piece of kit and hat's off to you sir.

However, I've been where you are and know how you feel, what you've said makes perfect logical sense to you, in your mind these are clear instructions on what should be done, but they still mean very little to someone who's completely new to this (even though they've been using Varnish for a good while now).

I'm a WordPress dev (I know, but it pays the bills), but I have been put between a rock and a hard place, so now I'm also responsible for setting up DO droplets for standalone websites. The reason I use Varnish is simplicity: apt-get install, wget on a WordPress vcl file, change a port and we're saving ram and can serve to 6x-10x concurrent users than before on straight nginx.

Thing is, I'm not alone in this use case, I know several people, who adore the magic and ease of use of Varnish. None of us know the insides, but we're can copy-paste and change a few things.

We respect and understand the need for dropping backwards compatibility, but all believe that the upgrade docs desperately need some examples.

I know it's the language of the devil, but the docs and the examples are definitely very usable to complete newbies:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Your docs are great for someone who has the time to read them all and learn all about Varnish, like a book, but (with no disrespect) borderline useless to someone who's got deadlines and a ton of work and simply has no time to learn this system that he's been relying on for a while.
It was already possible in the 70's with PL/I, Mesa and Modula-2, but alas they though it would be better not to offer bounds checking in the language, instead of a way to disable them if required, like the other languages.
This is what the Affero GPL was designed to combat:

From the AGPL preamble: (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html)

The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to provide the source code of the modified version running there to the users of that server.

How Heartbleed Broke the Internet – And Why It Can Happen Again
From my memories, a devil would be interpreted as a demon so they might be able to give you limited abilities if they happened to be particularly powerful. But not the full abilities a god could provide.

I was more into Dragonlance so things might be a tad different for you.

Plus, as you say, whatever the DM decides if there's no specific rule defining the outcome.
Analog circuits are fairly big, this is taken with a regular microscope. You can see that the chip is a few millimeters square.

Besides, electron microscope pictures are monochromatic.
How To Mitigate The Cybercrime Threat
I was thinking more from the perspective of how to train hires who are unaware of SEO to a serviceable level as quickly and efficiently as possible. Throwing the beginner's guide at them is efficient. Same goes with clients.

Cutts speaks directly to professionals who have marinated in SEO, often for years. Newbs will not understand most of it, and they have to get the basics first before they can make use of the issues that he helps to trouble shoot.
exactly. We use them e.g. for amplifying signals where low noise matters. Never compared against the AD device but did compare them once against your standard 741 and the difference is obvious, eben simply by looking at the signal on an oscilloscope.

Your Competitors Don't Know What They Are Doing
The problems you mentioned are all easily bypassed by design guidelines.

1) (At least at the X's point) Don't build designs that rely on X behavior or could result in X behavior. Where I work, X's are completely unacceptable and a sign that something is broken. In general, if writing Verilog to model hardware, don't write non-synthesizeable constructs.

2) Signed datatypes don't make any sense when designing hardware. Verilog treats everything as bit vectors. While 2's complement can implement signed behavior, hardware doesn't know or care about signed types. Again, if modeling hardware, write code that models hardware.

3) This is annoying, but another issue that is stepped around with design practices and not a major problem.

Overall, when talking about Verilog, you have to keep in mind its a language built to model hardware. Most features of modern languages don't make much sense in that context.
I like Massachusetts trade off, if you are going to allow an influx of H1-B's and immigrants, do away with the non-compete.

All it does is allow skim some cream of the top and control labor through myriad of shell companies and outsourcers. The real value if the initial hook up of the labor to the organization. There is no reason to behold a "contractor" to a company.

I grew up in middle class, suburban Kansas. But, did not experience any of this hysteria. I guess I'm lucky. I've been playing RPGs for 30 years.

Lots of people play today. I strongly encourage anyone even slightly interested to visit local game shops, look for meetup.com rpg meetup and try it out. If you happen to be in austin http://www.meetup.com/dnd-823/

I'm happy to answer any questions about that meetup (which I organize), finding / starting a game, or RPGs in general. Here or email njharman@gmail.com
That is exactly what I'm proposing :) but I'm also proposing that it's helpful to always have this list top of mind so if you meet someone IRL and they say "let me know how I can help" you can give them some specific ways they can help.

I find it really works for serendipity!
I'm still regularly amazed at the diversity of people who read and post on HN. There are artists, doctors, triathletes, cartoonists, real estate agents, veterans, vagabonds, marketers, ... And you may never know they're reading unless there's some catalyst to make the connection.

A monthly HMO post can be that catalyst.

And this can be the first. Just don't use this opportunity to purely pitch your product.
Yep, and it was also delivered via radio like the parent describes in the 80s
$833/month mortgage gets (I think) about $150k for a 25 year fixed rate loan.

This is vintage Theo. It has the virtue of sounding correct, but, because OpenBSD ships threaded libraries, it probably lacks the virtue of being correct.

I had a similar experience (note, though: I have a history with Theo, who I know/knew personally).

When I was at Arbor Networks, we shipped appliances that monitored ISP backbones that were based on OpenBSD. An analysis process that happened to allocate a lot of memory would occasionally lose a giant chunk of memory. I was able to produce a reduction of the bug and narrow down where in the VM subsystem the bug was happening, but I wasn't able to recommend a fix. Theo's response, to what was clearly a serious bug in OpenBSD, was "I'm not going to look at UVM; it's just Chuck Cranor's thesis project".

I lobbied for a switch to FreeBSD, but the monkey.org people that ran the place were dyed-in-the-wool for OpenBSD. :)
To add to that, I've seen a fair number of short usernames with few or no followers/following that were created early on. When I couldn't find the ones I wanted, I gave up and used my own name.

I think a lot of those accounts were mopped up by folks who then lost interest or forgot their credentials/lost email addresses etc...
It wasn't the case of any individual feature of iTunes or the iPod, it was that iTunes and the iPod were the killer feature. If you were to have looked at the landscape at that time for MP3 players, there was nothing even remotely like the iTunes+iPod experience. Even the tagline of the very first commercial was ridiculous at the time: "iPod, a thousand songs, in your pocket." That was equivalent to Google giving people 1GB of storage with their GMail account.

It doesn't seem like a big deal now, but in 2001 it was a very big deal.
It's called severance package. It's hard to find dissatisfied workers but easy to find non-performers.

I do not understand why this item is in shareholders' update. I feel sorry for Amazon's shareholders.
Should we just go "AT AT AT" or something instead? Or perhaps adapt from Mandarin speakers, who literally call the @ sign "the little mouse" ;)

Spam remains an issue if for whatever reason you're still using rulesets/blacklists/greylisting and the like, instead of Bayesian filtering.
Except that it's only one component of many in a system. I doubt there would be a measurable performance difference between a standard formula 1 car, and one which has had it's carbon fiber steering wheel swapped out for an aluminum one. But making a lot of small, nearly immeasurable changes can result in noticeable differences.

Certainly, in the case of racecars if two components differ only in weight, we can infer in what ways this should affect the performance. With audio it's not quite as clear (to me). Is there a measurable difference in the signal between using copper and silver wire? I don't know. But if we know that one component has measurably higher noise, that seems like it has the potential to result in a "cleaner" signal.

However, without going too far down the rabbit hole, I generally agree that in the end the important question is, "does system A sound better than system B".
Well, G.I. Joe was an older propaganda tool from the 60s, but it was substantially rebooted in the 80s as a high tech international global police force of sorts. I think this re-envisioning of the toy line fell in line with the kind of moralistic, American technology will give us the edge because we're smarter and better people than the also sophisticated but not as quite godless "bad guy" -- who happened to be a kind of blend of authoritarianism, terrorism and other enemies of the free and democratic peoples of the world (protected by the very American G.I. Joes).

Transformers are an interesting robot spin on the same theme. Let's be honest, the Autobots were stationed out of America and were largely defending America from the Decepticons. They were super high tech robots and fit nicely into the Star Wars (defense) theme of the Reagan administration.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApTnYwh5KvE - Reagan Star Wars speech (I actually remember some of the graphics from this speech)

I agree with the good vs evil spin on those shows. But I think that the actors who filled the good and evil roles were largely filled with American and Soviet/Nazi/Terrorist idealized stereotypes.

I'd add that in the cartoons the motivation of the evil archetype was always nonsensical and unclear. The Decepticons for example were always after energy resources and converting them to energon cubes. Yet the Autobots never seemed to have energy procurement problems. I think this was fed by the larger propaganda of the communists as being nonsensical, vague "bad guys" who were acting as constant aggressors.

MASK, Inspector Gadget, He Man, Danger Mouse, to some point Thundercats, Gobots, etc. all kind of fit this mold. Cartoons from the 70s and 90s largely don't really reflect this kind of good organization vs. nonsensical evil organization zeitgeist of the time.
There's a separate category specifically designed to diversify the source nation of incoming immigrants -- the DV (lottery) green cards. It has a quota of 50,000 visa per year, as compared to around 77,000 for all of EB-2 & EB-3. The purpose of those visas is supposed to be bringing qualified workers into the United States, additional restrictions just hurt that goal.

Furthermore, it doesn't make any sense to treat each country as if it were equal size. The per country employment based limit is not much less than Tuvalu's entire population.
> There are artists, doctors, triathletes, cartoonists, real estate agents, veterans, vagabonds, marketers...

There's even computer programmers on here too.
This is an incoherent response. Privilege separation is orthogonal to async designs. It's just as easy to privsep a synchronous program. Meanwhile, while I happen to appreciate async designs, it's far from settled as to whether they're long-term sounder than thread. What I know from experience is that it's easier to make async designs performant. Nothing I've seen suggests that they're that much safer.
The same reason we have diversity in work places and that American workplaces are not all filled with straight, white men.

You can't comprise of 90% of any population and whine about discrimination. That is not how society works.
Very true; although they did ramp it up significantly after the Ukraine conflict.

I agree though that you could also turn it around and say that it was only temporarily toned down a bit for the Olympics.
This (http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2011/9/122797-the-most-expensi...) should work.

Where do you see that? If that is the case then it helps only those who applied for permanent residency late in their 6 year H1-B term hence they don't have EAD for their spouse through green card application but can extend their H1-B status indefinitely.

I have a paper sheet full of complicated passwords on the wall near my computer. The access to my flat is protected by a very good physical key.
I use Twitter feverishly (probably too much) - I probably annoy a lot of my followers with non-sequitur commentary and the random news article.

But what I REALLY derive value in, is it's my always streaming news source. Follow a dozen or so news sites (both local, world, and niche-focused, such as tech and marketing) and I'm always up to date on what's going on.

A well curated Twitter account is going to beat out almost any individual news source.

While I do know Twitter botting is a huge issue, I also (anecdotally) know a lot of people who only use Twitter for consumption who have never tweeted anything themselves.
> Articles like Tom's which include specific requests are probably the best format for such things. We don't want any information overload, right?

But most people's articles will never make the homepage. By having one posts (like the jobs threads), you keep all the information in one place and it gets better visibility. It's the opposite of overload; it's consolidation.

Also, those posts request a specific format (eg, starting with "LOOKING FOR WORK / Location") which helps others easily scan through the list and find what's relevant to them. The same can be done with HMO lists.
Born in December and striving for a career in sports? Bad luck for you.
There are plenty of developers/programmers who do not ace tests with rigid constraints, but are quite competent in a more relaxed setting.

That is they are not the 1% that the all hirers, but they are maybe top 20% and that is actually what most jobs require no matter the delusions of hiring managers.

Granted this particular job might be an exception but I doubt it.
Sarcasm saves a lot of time. Look at how long your second response was without actually getting the point.
> Information which is a crime by itself.

Which includes gay propaganda, i.e. anything that mentions homosexuality in a positive or accepting context.
Not knowing what a latch is or why it is bad seems like more a failure of the class than an inherent problem with Verilog. There are times when a latch is useful and desired (though most often not and most often a normal flop structure is better).

With hardware design, you have to keep in mind that you are modeling hardware. A language that did it all for you might be nice, but you still have to know what framework you are working in. The simulation/synthesis disconnect is inherent to that. You can think of a ton of structures that seem fine at a code level but just don't have a workable analog in silicon. Synthesis in that sense is just another debug tool.
Ya, I mostly agree with you. The devil is in the details though. Why is it fading at the rate it is? Why did it drop to ~350 but then bump back up to ~425? It's seemingly pretty random (at least to me).
Do you add relevant hashtags to your jokes/deep thoughts? That would help them to be discovered by others.
A major issue was over looked - twitter @username squatting.

For example, I registered www.ameristartup.com a few weeks back. At the exact time I was creating the Facebook page someone else created the @ameristartup twitter account. To date the twitter account has remained inactive (no followers, no following, no tweets, no profile pic, ect...). I naively notified Twitter thinking they would have interest in curbing this type of behavior, but I received the form corporate response of f-off.
3rd Circuit vacates Weev's conviction [pdf]
I wonder should there be a "Monthly non-Programmers chat" thread? Something where the conversation is by people/hackers who don't self-identify as programmers/sysadmins/techies to talk about things they are doing.

It could give us programmers new insights.
Yes, most of us share a common area of interest (hacking, programming, and often startups). I meant to say there are programmers here who are also artists, doctors, ...
There is no "per country employment based limit". It doesn't matter if you were born in France or Tuvalu, everyone gets an equal shot at the H1B. The "per country limit" is for a more permanent status. I see no problem in the country deciding that it doesn't want to become a homogenous society dominated by one ethnicity. This is completely different from employment based equality.
I don't know the GS case at all, and IANAL, but as I understand it, if the modified code is included in a client, then surely the users must be accorded the copyleft rights, even if those users are all GS staff.

However, if it is strictly server-based, then those protections wouldn't hold under GPL anyway, only AGPL.
Or you can put in a memory area with unmapped sections on both sides if you are paranoid.
I'll provide a counter argument.

The foreign workers aren't actually that high skilled and their education is questionable.

So upon their first paycheck they are displacing local workers who could also do the job, putting extra pressure on local economies that they didn't "pay into", and giving more power to employers based on the restrictive nature of these foreign worker visas.
Thanks dude! I'll reach out to them. Not sure if they'd look at us as competitors but I'll try and make an intro
And it's deprecated. It's there for older applications that depend on it.
-smaller +different.
That looks like a good start, but can we drop even more? DES? Camellia? IDEA? MD5?
The bug is reading 64k from x -> x+64k. You'd want the key as low as possible in memory so the chance of the heap implementation allocating a request below it (thus allowing the +64k to overlap into the key) is next to nil.
Since private marketplaces over the internet seem to spread everywhere and do have some monopolistic power ,i wonder, is there a more open strategy that works against such markets ?

Don't forget to switch when next framework arrives. You don't want to be one of those unpopular geek losers, right?
When you say "local" I assume you mean local to Brooklyn, NY. Might have been wise to mention that.

Framing does seem to be a dark art in the creative world. Framing local to where I am in the UK is expensive and there isn't anything [anymore] between the expensive, custom, wait-a-few-days, framing and IKEA.

Perhaps I should try and make a robot-controlled cross-cutting mitre saw and start a new business.
When I got into Dungeons and Dragons, I remember my mother getting worried about something she heard on the news about kids going and playing D&D-inspired make believe in sewers, and lecturing me at length about how I should never ever that.

We lived really far out in the country at the time. Nothing but wells and septic systems for 20 miles in any direction.
