As I said, on a technical level think Dwarf Fortress - but with a bit less detail and a much larger world (potentially distributed across multiple servers). I'd like to be able to truly simulate a medieval/fantasy RPG world, so a player can see logical consequences from their actions.

The same underlying simulation could conceivably be used for a peaceful economic sim, or a highly strategic military game, or just an RPG with a ton of depth.
This looks like its easier to setup right?
Hah, I don't have any data either. This was a debate at the last startup I worked.
Thanks for your feedback, but please re-read my example more carefully.

In my example, I talked about organizations distancing themselves from RSA (the company), not the NSA (the US govt agency).

And as far as I know, no formal, independent investigation has found RSA guilty of allegations that they knowingly weakened their encryption after the NSA paid them to do so. So it doesn't meet the criteria you just mentioned.

Just configure your DHCP server to always hand them the same adress (static lease). Do you use the built in dhcp of your wifi router? Most of them offer an option to enter a mac address for which you want to assign always the same IP.

Sonos really does not like if components get different IPs after you had them powerless for some time while other components stayed active. I had the same issues you describe until I configured static leases for my sonos components and the smartphones we use to control them.

Mitochondrial diseases are also very rare -- so that particular domain may not be the lowest-hanging of fruits to go for initially.
IIRC, Google doesn't mine information from paid-for accounts, so this encryption could be a feature for accounts where the user is paying Google for the service. That's a pretty small number of accounts though, I would think.
I would say looking for work with a specific programming language is premature optimization which everybody knows is the root of all evil ;-)

Seriously the language is a detail. Your boss, coworkers and work location will have more impact on your quality of life than the tech you're using ... or you're not normal ...
I'm not quite there yet, so take this with a heaping spoonful of salt, but as another programmer who wanted to do pixel art for their games: Forget about pixel art for now and learn how to draw first. Pixel art is not an easy shortcut. It's just another form of art, and a surprisingly difficult one to do well. Trying to do pixel art without knowing how to draw sounds kinda like the people asking "how I make game without programming?" Answer: By stumbling around in the dark a lot and wasting your time.

I recommend the Ctrl+Paint video series, if you're interested, which starts off with simple exercises done with pencil and paper, and builds up from there:

Going from knowing your way around one field to being at the level of a small child in another is a frustrating but profoundly humbling experience that I sincerely recommend to anyone that's built up a bit of arrogance from being "good at computers" for as long as they can remember. I can honestly say it was a turning point in my life. It's also a very time consuming process, however, that often leaves me thinking that I'm wasting my time starting from scratch instead of focusing on my strengths. Alas, not everyone has connections or artistically talented friends, and most pixel artists I've talked to would rather work on their own games if you aren't paying them up front.

Give it a shot anyways, there's a lot more logic to the drawing process than most people assume. If you find it's not for you, ASCII art or one of the various CC-licensed game art collections is probably a better use of your time:

Yes, I'm surprised Amazon could pay HBO enough. My assumption was that Netflix couldn't afford HBO content, but that apparently wasn't true, as Amazon doesn't charge more than Netflix and has hefty delivery costs.

There is a difference between mistakes and errors of judgment and "gender-based harassment or discrimination". Someone may be harassed for a different reason than their gender. For example a personal vendetta or abuse of power vs. systemic discrimination against women (or men or other).
Hell, the same can be true of postdocs. Or grad students. I know I've gotten at least one paper thanks to cheap computational resources for unfunded musings.

As for @danieltillett's comment, "What you need to do for tenure" does indeed promote some conservative and safe thinking, but:

1. Post-tenure you have a great deal more freedom.
2. I'm not convinced it's more conservative research generating than "We need to keep the VCs/Shareholders/etc." happy.
3. A big, splashy, innovative paper that makes it into Science/Nature/Cell/etc. is a high risk but high reward play.
Like boardgames (ones on boardgamegeek.com, not Monopoly)? It's a great hobby that requires interaction. It's great for ice-breaking imo. Most men need ice broken to make a connection, alcohol helps too. Some shared common thread like kids in the same school helps a lot. Joining a sports league is good too if that's your cup of tea, I've met a number of people that way. It's a good no-pressure way of interacting with your teammates.

I keep hearing "IBM is opening POWER", but I still don't see any obvious route to dial up Asus or Tyan and order a cheap ATX motherboard that I can slap a POWER processor on, and build a machine to play with. Until that day comes, it's hard for me to get excited about POWER, as much as I might otherwise want to.
Or alternatively, view the rat race as a fun game to participate in. It's all about your attitude. What's the alternative anyways? Being a hermit or a person who does nothing all day? Seems really boring.

Great! This is why I went back to school to get my biochem degree. I was a data scientist working with hadoop + mahout at a startup and I said "this is going to revolutionize medicine." When I get my masters in biomedical engineering in a few years I have a dream to help found a company that applies big data and machine learning to problems with clinical significance. Elizabeth, you may end up hearing from me :P
It is not just that the library can only contain those specific approved ciphers and hashing algorithms, they also have to be certified through a lab, then that lab has to sign off on it (this costs thousands of dollars). You have to build in a self-test system that verifies the integrity of the FIPS components using known answer tests, and the FIPS module itself has to be able to self-check itself against a known hash, so your linker has to be nice enough to put the FIPS module at a known location (making exploitation simpler).

The whole FIPS canister thing in OpenSSL is a HUGE pain in the behind when you are building a library/product using it, and overall doesn't increase security one single bit. Yes your crypto is now FIPS 140 certified, big whoop.

[Note: I am going off the OpenSSL FIPS canister implementation details here...]
Uncleftish Beholding (1989) is a short text written by Poul Anderson.

That's the part people seem to forget. Software can be expensive because they are paying for several licenses (and for the hardware too) as well us paying several devs, managers, etc. to produce the software that runs on the phone.
It's weird that they include Chromecast to that comparison chart. Sure, they offer some of the same features, mainly streaming video to the TV, but that's where the similarities end. Chromecast is not a set-top box, it's a second screen device. It's up to the apps and other services to extend functionality to this second screen. In the comparison chart, for example, it says Chromecast doesn't have voice search, well, you can voice search youtube and have it play on Chromecast so that single point is incorrect.

Breaking Down European Stereotypes
Not really. As a small nonprofit, Ada initiative probably doesn't have the resources to deal with controversy and so it's better to cut ties than to put itself into a charged political situation which would threaten its mission.
US Govt or contractors can apply for a waiver that you can perpetually renew that will allow you to use non FIPS-140 certified cryptography in a product...
Seems like a strange decision unless they know more than said in this blog post to end a relationship that could benefit both sides.

That said I'm fiercely opposed to organisation's like the Ada Initiative since they are inherently discriminatory in nature, I'm in favor of Egalitarianism.

If you don't think they are discriminatory imagine -

Are you asking if the timeout changed?

No, the timeout was clearly different for that particular post! It was well under two minutes, if it was nonzero at all. I never got to edit the post even once, and I normally catch grammatical errors and edit 2 or 3 times just after the first post. I'm wondering if there was some sort of "secret flagging" that happened. Also note my karma. I've been around here for quite awhile. I know what is normal behavior for the HN editing functionality and what is divergent.

EDIT: I too can generally edit comments, clearly. That is not what I was saying.
I don't think that the first statement is correct. OpenBSD is not nearly so visible as RSA, Norton, Verisign, et. al., and those brands are heavily invested in the theatrical aspects of security to the point of emphasizing appearances over actual security.

The part of the industry that is visible to the general public, and even probably most of the technical community are brands such as those, and you can't trust them. What BSD is doing here is saying, "You know that thing that all of those brands told you [and industry, and the government] is important? It doesn't improve security at all, and so we're going to ridicule the practice so that maybe it will get a stink that travels beyond our tiny realm of influence."

That's more valuable than politeness, because politeness doesn't create a stink, and OpenBSD is not well enough known to effect change without making a stink.

Addendum: To summarize my view of the situation, I think that the reason that a lot of the people that we think of as "good" security people are abrasive is that it's sooo much easier and more profitable to promise security than it is to deliver it. This means that the security industry is overflowing with bullshit and bad information. Since there's so much bullshit, the "good" security people have to be very quick, curt, and categorical about labeling the bullshit since most of us are almost completely incapable of distinguishing bullshit from delicious, nutritious food, and so are all too willing to lap it up. [sorry for the grossness, but I think that this must be what the situation feels like to "good" security people]

Off-topic to OP, but relevant to your story:

As a child, I was a very competitive soccer player. The only league available for me to play in was the local rec league, where everyone got roughly equal playing time and many referees, coaches and parents had a very indifferent "it's just kids playing a game" attitude.

I was constantly frustrated and frequently felt insulted that something I cared so much about (winning, and playing the game properly) was being held out of reach by the adults in charge. I wanted to play the game right and let the rightful team win, but was forced to lose games by well-meaning parents who apparently didn't believe 9 year olds had the same hopes, dreams and aspirations as everyone else.

So you may regret that the two weakest players on your team didn't get to play as much one game. But somewhere out there is a 10 year old who got to experience playing the game right, and even though his team lost the final 9-1, it was probably the best game of the year to him.

Line folding doesn't really help manually interact or craft messages. Nor do comments. There's no real value in being able to do:

Foo: ValueBegin (this is a comment)
ValueEnds

Versus requiring Foo: ValueBegin ValueEnds

As far as performance, I must say you're incorrect. Review the nginx HTTP parser and you'll see all sorts of bitwise hacks in order to improve performance. This aligns with my own experience writing a packet capture system for a similar protocol.

Having open syntax, comments and line folding being part of the problem, incredibly complicates the parser. Other moronic things are the completely arbitrary handling of header fields. Some header fields allow their value to be split over multiple lines but must treat it as if it was one line. Others use multiple headers to provide some multi-line value. There's no simple parsing, it all must be sensitive to the context. This is just stupid, yet free-text protocol authors revel in it. SIP even publishes a "torture test" RFC where they're just oh-so-pleased with the edge cases their moronic spec allows. They even suggest a parser should guess as to the message sender's intent.

I'd also note that in some cases the parser is most of the stack (simple proxy scenarios, frontend security). Regardless, the fact that the rest of the stack may be complicated is not in any way an excuse for making the parser worse. This is not a programming language.

depression is chronic and not necessarily tied to real expectations of real things. Burnout is acute, most people with burnout snap back, although it might take a while.
Because tech companies have never followed any significant rules regarding employment, most tech companies are de facto hostile work environments, even if they try not to, because of the behavior of individuals toward each other. There's a culture that is changing, if slowly, but this is basically always the case.

IMO what it means is that people should work extra hard not to contribute to a hostile work environment, or expect to be perceived as contributing to a hostile work environment at randomly unpredictable points in their lifetime.
In that case you should probably avoid the Open Compute Project, too.

What language are you writing your project(s) in?

If you are using Node you should use Mongoose and then you may see why some people love Mongo. Complex queries and joins (not technically called joins I guess) are incredibly easy to accomplish with that module[1]. Personally, I have migrated back to MySQL since I was unable to convince my colleagues that Mongo would last long-term and frankly I am not 100% confident either for the kind of business applications that we need[2].

SME (Sun MicroElectronics) did exactly this in the 1990s. You could buy a standard ATX motherboard with an UltraSPARC II and PC DIMM slots on it. It was called the Ultra AXmp.

Unfortunately, the internal cost structure was such that the Ultra AXmp cost only a few percent less than a "proprietary" workstation/server from the parent company.

The moral of the story: sticking a high-margin, low-volume chip in a commodity board doesn't put it on a commodity cost basis.
