To make it easier for him (and others who agree with him), here's a simple question. Name the modules (packages, whatever) that implement password-reset functionality in:

1. Python + Django
2. Node.js + whatever
3. PHP + CakePHP/CodeIgniter/Yii

I'm not aware of any.

By "password-reset" I mean user clicks "Forgot password" and goes through some process like asking a secret question, doing catpcha test, sending a password reset link via e-mail, handling the click on the link, asking for a new password and resetting it.

P.S. Pick different frameworks if you wish.
Indeed. I get worried when I see people deploying new embedded ARM systems these days to replace systems that are 30 years old when there is only 24 years to 2038...
Maybe a Typesafe consulting partner? I work at SoftwareMill, a Scala software house, we're remote & distributed and quite used to the type of work you need. As for our experience, I think the most relevant bit would be moving yap.tv, a Ruby-based TV startup to Scala.
Bad move. A URL is a mental 'place' on the internet, you are somewhere and when you click a link you 'go' somewhere else. That feeling has been ingrained in the heads of the millions of users. Removing this will cause people to literally feel lost. The page does not currently tell you where you are, you already have that information and it is rightly 'out of band', there are matters of trust involved as well here.

"explicitly choosing a file and mapping that into the memory space of the program means it can persist across crashes"

It's not that your program crashes, it's that your memory becomes corrupt and that causes the crash.

Restarting program is essentially redoing all the memory. If you persist your memory your program will crash on run.
Sorry, I should have clarified. I meant this: "arguing parasitically that how the content creators make money is none of their business"

I was just wondering your thought process here. It seems that you think piracy is a bad thing, when I see it as a good thing. Who cares about the industry? We have more and higher quality music, software, movies, and TV than ever because of piracy. And for free! Shouldn't that be celebrated? We can now focus on spending our money on more pressing things like food, shelter and health care.

Sure, some people can't make money off of direct sales of copies but markets change. We can adapt. Just look at Chance the Rapper, he gave both albums out for free (never charged a dime) and he's rolling in dough because of features and concerts. Also I'm pretty sure he's not at the mercy of a record company, either.

the most headache inducing issues by far are going to be file formats and network protocols that integrate 32bit unix timestamps, which are numerous.

NTP is one such example.

This is a much worse and much more fundamental issue than the y2k bug was, I hope people aren't writing off the severity, the time to start dealing with it is now.

The goal of a movie theatre is leisure experience. If you know a movie is 90+ minutes, and there's a significant likelihood of you or your devices causing a disruption to the other 100 people in the audience in 90+ minutes...

On a different note, me and my friend and his wife went to see Roger Waters perform The Wall a couple years back. The tickets said "No photography", but the band was very careful to say "When you take photos, please make sure the flash on your cameras is off. There are effects during our production that camera flashes will disrupt." I'm paraphrasing, but they were projecting video on the bricks that were assembled onstage as part of the performance. Sure enough, not minutes into the first set, flash flash flash flash flash.

My friends were taking photos. I made sure not to look over at them.
It kinda depends on the Chrome team's goals and whether those are absolute / which ones take precedence; I'd say in this case it's a compromise between usability / user-friendliness / not chasing away their users, and subtly increasing usage of google's search services.

Google has avoided being obvious about Chrome giving them more revenue up until now, as far as I'm concerned. Whether this will also swing in their favor or not, I can't be sure at the moment.

And with Safari on iOS 7 only showing the domain name, there is some precedence with the approach described in the article.
I don't know man, an elevator, escalator, and moving walkway, all have the same purpose of getting you from one place to another - a car is infinitely more capable than all of these and does a whole lot of other manoeuvring and functions (storage, transportation, etc), to the point of requiring actual education and in fact literal adulthood just to drive. To say nothing of all the other functions in a car from radio to full electrical system, towing, etc.

You can call the function of a car "simple" and a computer infinite in scope, but a twelve year old is allowed to use the latter but not the former. This implies the scope (for mischief) is in some sense far narrower with the computer...

I do get what you're saying of course. But I feel like in the past decade or so we've moved past the car analogy :)
OOO OOOO I know the answer to this, is it erm... Stop using a shitty browser?
This is a terrible idea. I understand from a product standpoint that anything technical is a hindrance on the user experience, but the web is nothing if not URLs.

It'd be like taking the street addresses off houses and mailboxes simply because we had GPS now. Bad. Bad.

And I don't even want to start down the evil empire road, but I have to bring up the fact that getting rid of URLs just continues to solidify Google's desire to control user behavior. Click/speak a search phrase, see a list, and go to where we tell you. The internet is just a series of back rooms to Google's front door.

Don't do this, guys. I'm already half out the door with Chrome already. This would push me the rest of the way out and start making me actively tell people that Google is not looking out for their interests. I'm sure many other technical folks feel the same way.
No the third option is neither. Css vs js vs neither. Your web page is faster if you don't use animations. Most efficient way to add web page fluff is a non sequitur
Well yes (even if HN cuts those off), but you should also consider that all of the example pages you listed have the title and intent of the page clearly listed right on the page themselves.

Legible URLs are important when you need to decide to follow the link; once you're on the page, it's less important because there's bigger and more legible cues about the content right on the pages themselves then.

I'm really excited by Julia. We use Matlab heavily in my team (as in, we probably have 300-600 Matlab instances running at any given time not counting the ones on personal workstations) and I'd love to use a language with similar support for numerical programming and linear algebra, but with better typing and functional programming support.

Do you have any suggestions for slowly introducing Julia to the team?

Oh stop. If your entire reason we should listen to someone is based on the signal-quality of whom he associates with, you have no grounds to tell someone else they're "just [tribally] signalling (sic)". What bloody tribe is he going to belong to that he would signal so, the We Hate Making Money tribe?

>I've not read Antifragile yet, but it at least gives some probably needed context to the modern fixation on normally-distributed data as evidenced by the simplistic quantification of so many things (e.g., the Freakonomics podcast).

If you want a man of dogma who's going to criticize the overuse of normal distributions to generate illusorily "informative" statistics, I think you'd be better off with E.T. Jaynes.

Welcome to the internet, all of the things you read here may or may not be true.

What is one to do in these treacherous times? The same thing you do with every other interaction you have with people. Weight the information provided with credibility factors based on context, delivery, bias, historical data about the source etc etc.

Either Mister Cutts has built up credibility for you over his many contributions, or he has not. That's your call.
> In the end, it's going to be better for you. Facebook now has control over the way apps, and content within apps, talk to each other

Those two sentences are mutually exclusive.
It seems bit odd that they are so proud of 64-bit time_t that they even made their release song about that, with this sentence in the description:

> In the same way, the road is paved for the 64-bit time_t transition. Other operating systems can now make this jump

Haven't Linux and FreeBSD been on 64bit time_t for like 10 years now?
> It's fine if you want to turn over your vehicle every three years.

more like eight years, which is not a bad deal.
I use 'cat list | while read -r addr; cat text | mail $addr; done', which pretty clearly extends to filling in a template by using sed instead of cat and reading multiple variables from the file instead of just addr (IFS=, and it becomes a csv).
"If we were to judge news websites using the same metrics as he's using (users in the marketplace) Yahoo! News, HuffingtonPost, and CNN are the epitome of news reporting, which we should all aspire to and emulate."

This is a straw man.

The author never argues for popularity; he argues that design should be using its seat at the table to produce better outcomes for users and for businesses. Other than users deciding to use a product, what other metric is there for whether you have built something people want.

re Facebook Paper: "But I think its unfair to judge it entirely by monetary success or numbers of downloads - if that is your sole criteria for success, then you may as well give up on good design, good content, because the majority of people don't want quality"

If we were talking about an app being launched by an indie dev in his garage, maybe you'd be right - maybe. We're talking about an app launched by Facebook.... they have essentially unlimited resources. They have some of the stickiest content on the planet, coupled with an unlimited marketing budget, a big launch, etc. and yet Paper was a flop.

They didn't design something for their users, they didn't solve a problem; instead, they did a neato experiment that didn't create a valuable outcome.

"We all" who? Not everyone. Doctors have carried pagers since pagers were invented. Some people do actually have a legitimate reason to be on call 24/7. Not everyone, sure, and most people are too connected to their work these days. But don't pretend as though being disconnected is a virtue for everyone. For some people in some professions being disconnected can cost lives or can cost thousands or millions of dollars per minute in losses.

Different types of crashes and different memory. You can crash because you program did not handle a network error well, etc. Also, you do not need to use mmap'ed memory for everything. You can still use the stack and the heap for temporary structures, but store permanent data in the mmap'ed segments. Think about persistent data vs running queries in a database server.
I had a similar experience on Wikipedia some years ago. I did some research for a couple of articles, but unfortunately it all got deleted, at which point I thought that further engagement wasn't worth the effort.

They might've changed it with the new comments system, but I know that links of any sort were completely disallowed not long ago. Nevertheless, I still see the posting of bare video IDs in many recent comments.

(I've basically never participated in YT comment discussions. There's definitely a lot of idiocy, but it's also interesting to just observe and see the sometimes surprising positive things like this that can occur.)
From the description of it: I already fucking hate the feature.

Moreso, I also hate the morons that make sites so heavily embedded in crappy javascript that you can't just copy the link and paste it in another window (or to someone else). Seriously? You're incompetent! Stop making websites like that!

I can't imagine using a graphical browser without an address bar. Regarding the possible benefits, I think phishing would become a lot easier, if users don't see the URL any more, anyone can still link to phishing pages.
The user interface with cars is more complex than it used to be. Not just gears, pedals, and a wheel. You now have an entertainment centre, adjustable seats, reversing camera, so on and so forth. Driving is more complicated with more road rules, longer commutes, and a larger culture to absorb. So if the public can deal with an increasing complexity in vehicles, why can't they deal with staying at the same complexity with software, given your analogy?

Not knowing the innards of such a car has nothing to do with the UI - just the same as the people complaining about the change in UI don't need to know the innards of the browser: the source code.

And no, your preschooler isn't in need of understanding the difference between http/s, but sticking with your analogy, your preschooler also isn't driving. Maybe playing with a toy car instead, but not the full monty.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I can't wait until movie theaters pop up that advertise walls covered with metallic paint to block cellular RF. As someone who dislikes push notifications and refuses to work in any profession with the concept of being "on call," I will go to those almost all the time. And when my surgeon isn't on call, he'll be even more relaxed!

Thing is, I just can't think of a single scenario where the rights of the many to enjoy uninterrupted entertainment in every theater outweigh the rights of everyone else to be in constant communication with whomever they chose to, for whatever reason they chose to. Regardless if they are a surgeon, parent, or just a loud douchebag in a movie theater.

So until these faraday cage theaters start popping up, if you want the movie theater without the rest of civilization, you'll just have to take a generator and projector to a National Park or start it yourself.
My issue with semantics is not that you're generalizing the notion, but rather specializing it. The "tamper" part of use-tamper-use in Evil Maid refers to the entire system, whereas you insist on tampering with only the ciphertext.

I'm still skeptical about code modification. The access the attacker gets is not really an oracle as in your byte-at-a-time scenario (I take it you're referring to the one from your crypto challenges), they can only observe the decryption output in a very indirect fashion. The number of potentially useful "needle" configurations is also hard to tell, you'd need to get alignment right and produce valid opcodes throughout the block etc. And also how many tries would the attacker get in reality? The executable would need to be reloaded for each one of his tries.

But more fundamentally, I find the whole scenario unlikely. To get there in the first place would require the user to sync their system partition with Dropbox. I think it's fair to say that will almost never happen. And if we're talking about a physical repeated-tamper attacker, well the Evil Maid (the original (TM)) is a much easier option for him.
It's pretty obvious that is the implication... How about rather than condescension you make your counter point?
If you install a 32-bit Linux, then time_t is still 32-bit, only on 64-bit Linux you get 64-bit time_t.

not on 32 bit systems, which is what that part of the release announcement is about.

All unix 64bit systems have a 64bit time_t, only OpenBSD and NetBSD at this point have 64bit time_t on 32 bit systems.

This cannot be changed on Linux without breaking userland ABI/API compatibility, something which the maintainers refuse to do.

My brother works as an IT project manager consultant for big old companies that will remain nameless. Daily rate something like £450-500, so call it $750.

Under utilisation is true enough, but you also have to take into account the tax efficiencies you can put in place as a freelancer (in the UK at least), which means he's still well enough off to have a Porsche 911 and a flat in the Swiss Alps.

Nice work if you can get it.
That's a really nice touch!

Is it possible you're getting the cause and effect the wrong way round and it's just that your current search method rarely finds a candidate that isn't a few degrees away from you? It would be interesting to have a follow up if you find your new hiring practices find more candidates that you couldn't have found via the social graph.

Embedded devices are likely to be 32-bit for a very long time yet. I'd consider 100+ years to be a reasonable number!

64-bit devices are much more complicated (bus size, peripherals, part count) and therefore more expensive. If your entire task fits in a 32-bit space there is little motivation to use a 64-bit core.

Strange, because i remember reading that in the US you actually own the airspace above your property to a certain height (i think 500ft), and the law just requires you allow unrestricted airspace access to any vehicle under the jurisdiction of the FAA, the US military, or the US government.

I've been using it since 2.4 as well but the progress is remarkable considering the team size and funding. Progress for me is the replacement of non-BSD licensed parts and top notch re-engineering of the old rusty bits as well as hardware support which is pretty damn solid and reliable.

What's the deal with the lack of conditionals in comprehensions? Is there a good reason that the Julia devs didn't include that, or is it just something that's not been implemented yet?

Edit: after a little searching, I found this.
