Wow, based on how pioneering a lot of this work has been over the last decade, you'd almost expect OpenBSD was the most frequently targeted OS.

Maybe they compensate for infrequent targeting by having a lot of really smart people on the project.

that we trigger to retrieve all children processes memory sections…

That's not making sense to me. I really thought that, and correct me if I'm wrong here, parents never had access to child process memory and that you had to go out of your way to do even limited memory sharing between processes.

The design is nice, but I still don't find the results relevant (from the small sample size that I tested). For example, I searched for 'alternatives to minimum wage' because of a recent debate, and got Yahoo Answers as the first result, with a bunch of unknown sites after. On the other hand, Google returned the Washington Post, Bloomberg View and other credible organisations.

The design is certainly much nicer on the eyes, without the blue links and with the little 'read' tick marks, but perhaps the focus should be on better search algorithms first?
New Chinese Supercomputer Goes Beta: Tianhe 2
Phages look real promising in this respect but a few problems:
- How do you get a sample to target? And then deliver the treatment?
- Cost for tailor-made treatments?
- Will it arrive in time (before antibiotics run out)?
- Evolving to attack human cells too?

In unrelated news, getting any needed surgeries done in the next few years might not be a bad idea.
The design principles between SBE & Cap'N Proto are very similar, so in that some part the lessons are already learned.

I haven't bench marked either of those 2 against each other but would not be surprised if they were very close to each other in the C++ implementations. That said, SBE does provide a non-JNI java implementation which as far as I know is not available for Capnproto yet. SBE also provides a C# implementation which Cap'n proto doesn't. That in and of itself may be enough for many people (Cap'N seems to have a lot of languages under development that SBE doesn't fwiw).
Sanity check: This post attributes 19.1% of all deaths to smoking, but this is greater than the total number of smokers (18.1% according to http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/adult... which was the first search result I got). Since the author used that statistic and didn't immediately launch into a justification of how it's not completely crazy, I can't trust this article enough to read further.

China became a technological leader of the world during its imperialism. Granted there weren't that many democracies around the world at the time, so we have no point of comparison. The few period where there existed a democracy in the world (ancient Roman, for example), it's quite hard to compare the two, and what worked in the past might not work in the present.

But my point is that it's just not simply a clear cut issue of "democracy", "democracy" like everyone in the West like to chant whenever they talk about China (and to certain extend, East Asia as a whole). Look at Japan, one party (Liberal Democratic Party) has been in control of the goverment since 1955 - and not because of corrupted election or anything like that. The social and cultural situation in East Asia is much difference than the West.
That source is very old and lacks the animation scripts that have made ep famous, as I described in the README. (In fact, there have been a number of different animation scripts over the years; I've been in contact with the author of the software you linked, and he was nice enough to provide some, though I haven't yet tried them in the version I decompiled.)

Compounding is much more effective when you start early. I recall a personal finance article where someone did the math out and found that a person who contributes $X monthly from the ages of 20-35 and then never contributes a dime to their retirement account will retire with more than someone who contributes nothing from ages 20-35 and then $X monthly for 30 years until they retire at 65. (I just plugged the numbers into CNN's retirement calculator [1] and verified that's correct...it's actually more like 32 for the cutoff point.)

I do agree that upskilling is important, but many jobs that help you gain skills quickly also pay well. And the most crucial part is to keep your burn rate low in your 20s. This is the time when all your friends are living like grad students, because many of them are grad students, and it will never again be easier to live cheaply. Then work at a highly-paid professional job and pocket the difference. Your bank account will thank you when you retire.

Great collection, I especially like the machine learning/data science notebooks.
>Disclosure: I'm a privileged white male.

Part of the article explains that women and men communicate differently, I wouldn't enjoy being counseled in that tone.

No one is right or wrong. Just different.
Sorry, the last line was the novel part. The "what about people of differing levels of privilege" bit is standard and well answered.

No advantage is absolute, and all generalizations describe tendencies. That there is also white privilege or tall privilege doesn't negate that their is male privilege, or prevent people from thinking about it. So as a white guy, there are many circumstances where I get boosts from one, the other, or both that non-white, non-guy people may not get. There are some circumstances where being a fat person costs me, but that doesn't erase the advantages from being male.

Some sorts of feminism focus purely on the male-female issues. That's often fine; the problems, evidence, and solutions are often specific, and there's plenty to deal with. Others view various sorts of prejudice as part of a connected system. You can read about intersectional feminism for more: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Intersectionality

I didn't imply otherwise.

I just didn't explicitly mention global variables because that will always remain a possibility that lurks over everything. Technically, we can never rule them out because it's possible that all the universe and all the events of universe were preordained by one massive global variable, without any particular rhyme or reason for rules and laws for mechanics of local behavior.
If you check the talk page of the student, you will see it's filled with 5+ "warnings" from the Wikipedian. I could see how that could be considered bullying.
The one box can be nice but takes up too much room so I have it set to off. It would be better if you gave me a simple click to view one box (I can often guess the small number of cases where viewing it would be useful - such as thinking a map will show up or in the case I wanted the wiki summary).

Off the top of my head just having a link after the products link that said 0-click box (or something) if it was settings had it off would be useful.

Interesting. Last year, he had another employee, one that coded. Hasn't worked out, it seems. That's a shame. Not only would he get more work done, I do think another dev person could shift the priorization a little more towards fixing long standing issues. Maybe.

I'm glad you like it! I'm sorry that it's Windows-only; I would like to make it available for more OSes, but the pointer size issue is a real impediment, and Windows is least likely to be throwing away 32-bit support any time soon, so...

A WebGL or GLES version would be great, but I actually don't know much at all about graphics!

By the way, as far as I can tell, I don't think you broke anything in your port. The disassembly of the OpenGL version's drawing routines looks like a pretty direct translation of the routines from the ep source that comes with IGL. The random seed initialization is the same in both, too:

Yes, the sample program is an infinite loop, and therefore impractical. I'd add that copying the Ruby syntax, based around Latin script, for programming in another script isn't practical. Programming language grammars tend to evolved from the lexical tokens used by them.

> "A world where everyone speaks one language would be boring as fuck"

Diversity is great, but a world in which everyone can fluently converse with everyone else would be the exact opposite of boring. In fact, I would say that this sort of universal communication would be great because diversity is great; it would allow all of those different cultures to share their cultures with others, with greater ease.

Of course the best of both worlds is a world where everyone is multilingual, with everyone sharing at least one language with every other person. I think this is more likely than a world in which Arabic is the universal language. I think that the increasing coverage and accuracy of machine translation will create a synthetic/"soft" version of the universally multilingual scenario. Right now machine translation is still fairly shit (although still serviceable!), but I don't think that will be the case in 50 years.
Using words related to the target domain is one of the tactics most beloved by attackers, as that's where they'll be starting their dictionary attack. Hitting a bank? There are a few hundred bank-specific words, let's start with those, plus all the "cute" leetspeak substitutions and with prefixes/suffixes tacked on.
I like to think of it as an engineering hack pad. Use it to prototype and interate over scripts like you would with the CLI version of IPython, but with a GUI instead. I had an immense amount of fun learning OpenCV with it, shunting data to my phone over Tornado, and building interfaces to various data systems (each thing I knew nothing about from the start, but could explore). It can do all the stuff Python does, but with quite a lot of cleverness built into it.

I suppose it's really an IDE, but I certainly don't use it as one. It really lends itself to being a solid, robust, napkin programming interface. Alternately: it's the turn-based tactics to LightTable's realtime strategy.

If the parent process were deliberately sharing memory pages with the child it might be possible to get those pages (or, if the child process executes code from them, to do pretty much anything with it). These seem like pretty novice mistakes for the openssh team to make, though.

A more important issue is that the window in which your connection is actually being managed by the parent process of all sshd instances must be vanishingly small. More likely you'd be looking to access memory while the ssh process was still privileged. I'm still not sure what that'd get you, though.

Maybe because their goal is to steadily build a car system that can read the environment and adapt speed and direction based on the actual situation? a map is not the territory.

The latest models also detect pedestrians, bikes, and even animals -- and the car sets off an alarm and brakes so that we don't run over them. High beams are politely turned off when meeting another car, as well as when passing near pedestrians. The software also performs lane detection, shows you where you're heading when moving in reverse, signals to the driver when another vehicle is close by to the left or right, even if you can't seen them in the rearview mirrors.

Volvo has a goal of preventing or mitigating accidents to such an extent that by 2020 nobody will die in a Volvo when there is a car accident. Their commitment to the safety of car passengers was such that they let everyone freely use their patented seat-belt system when they improved it. They've been running a team in Sweden for decades that travels to every single car accident involving a Volvo, so that they can understand the causes and consequences of the accident, sometimes even repeat the event in lab conditions -- and they can improve the cars accordingly.

Yes, we own a (new) Volvo -- we picked it up at the factory in Sweden, drove around Europe for a few weeks, and returned it for them to ship it over to our US address.

It would use both it's own location based database and OCR for any local changes such as road works and variable speed limits.
So:

1) this is probably bullshit. cf. http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q2/247

2) from the memory dump, it looks like it is post-authentication so the impact would be quite limited (stealing the password hash of an account one already has access to)

3) we're (OpenSSH) going to check it out anyway
Yes, I used the wrong word for that. When I say meritocratic model, I mean a model where content rules based on its merit, not a statelike structure where individual people rule.

I'm talking about introducing a way to measure this merit. So I apologize for the misnomer that confused you. However, I'm hesitant to call such a system democratic either, though that might be a closer match.

Ideally, I'd like to decouple ego and personality from the act of content creation as much as possible - to the extend that is possible while still motivating people to work on it. So you see why I might describe this as having democratic or meritocratic traits, without actually being a *ocracy.

I'm also open to the idea of such a system being distributed, which would solve another problem Wikipedia has. If that's feasible, you might even be tempted to use terms such as adhocracy or federation. My beef with all these phrases is they're describing forms of government, whereas what I'm looking for is more a mode of content curation.

But let's talk about actual substance instead of nomenclature. I don't claim it's a silver bullet, but I think those are some ideas that may be worth experimenting with.
I'm not sure if you're arguing that the line between computer and personal memory will not get blurrier (implied by "not really"), or that mandatory memory erasure sounds perfectly reasonable.

I worked somewhere where we did this, though there they even could search the Internet. It has the benefits you describe, but the one downside is that if someone gets onto a wrong track (solving the wrong problem, getting hung up on some immaterial detail, etc) then no one is there to help them along (most candidates, despite urging, seem not to ask), so you have to be more careful with the 'test' materials or you won't get a lot of signal variation for differing skill levels. Before one overhaul we had a very bimodal (got it easily or didn't get it at all) distribution.

It's a bit of an art to come up with tasks that let you accurately rank candidates.
If you enjoy programming in it, and you can create great code then what's the problem?
This is basically the startup business model - get a bunch of guys together, split equity, write something cool, get aquihired for a few million apiece.

The reason it has to be done with equity instead of salary is because there's a principal-agent problem with salary. People collect their salary regardless of whether their contributions actually are worth a few million. And so they have every incentive to sit on their butt - or at least, not take any risks and just do what got them the initial salary grant - in the meantime.
I'm sorry but I'm sick of f@#$wit teachers thinking Wikipedia is a fun project for their students.

It is supposed to be the repository of human knowledge.

Not the quality such that a student 'learning' about a subject can do an assignment of editing it.

When this student has long gone, it's the Wikipedians who have to clean up the mess.

What real Wikipedians do is clean up vandalism, correct spelling and grammar, arbitrate differences of opinion.

They don't just sit around creating content then leave.

If you really want to help Wiki, work on teaching students the politics and how to do the real work that's needed to make it so great.

Garry, If we're going to talk about expectations, I expect more from YC than the miserable record of admission to YC for women and minorities to date. The stats shown at the women's founders' conference were a perfect example. See the link below for deets if you haven't already.

Until YC admits that the possibility of bias exists (I am charitably suggesting it's totally unconscious by the way)it will never be able to correct this problem.

The modern language of mathematics is composed of lexicons from several different written languages:

Greek, Roman, Arabic, Hebrew and possibly a few others.

There is one point often overlooked regarding comparisons of programming and human languages - I think that programming languages should be much simpler than human languages, since the target is a dumb computer as opposed to an articulate human.
