Swisscom FTTH is available in my building (Biel/Bienne), but at the moment the price is too steep plus you need to have the Vivo XL package to be eligible [1]. That brings the whole TV + Phone + 1Gbps/100Mbps internet at 169 + 80 = 249 CHF / month. I like fast Internet but not THAT much !

What would you want to do with seccomp-bpf that can't be expressed with BPF? Or did I misunderstand the comment?

You want to allow or deny calls based on syscall args, which seems to fit the BPF model. Perhaps string matching is where it breaks down, since syscall args have strings and network packets don't? I suppose a stripped down regex like Lua's might be useful for matching arguments that are file system paths, and that is firmly outside BPF as far as I understand.

I would guess that they wanted to reuse a VM already in the kernel, and that had a fast JIT implementation, but I'm just speculating.

The biggest problem with the ad model is that it effectively kills off most chances of a paid ad-free product to exist. If you had the option to pay to not have ads, many of the better off would pay for that privilege, most of which are the very people more advertisers are trying to reach. A market that includes everyone is going to be far more valuable per set of eyeballs than one that only includes people with not much money to spend.

Some of this sounds pretty good, but a lot of it sounds like it's geared towards a Glengarry Glen Ross or Boiler Room style environment, and towards selling low-value, high volume commodity products.

What I mean is, there doesn't seem to be anything about diagnosing customer needs, researching the customer, creating a tailored value hypothesis, and/or helping the customer understand the value you'll be delivering. There are the kinds of things I've been taught to do in terms of selling complex, high-value B2B solutions.

Maybe the "have a script, make the script perfect, and call enough people" approach is right in some environments, but I wouldn't expect it to be universally applicable.

Indeed, my wife and I both are pretty much equals when it comes to our careers, we both find them fulfilling and enjoyable, but they are completely different focuses. If one of us were to get a job offer that required us to move, we would have to be certain the other could get a job of equal value there as well or the job offered would have to be about twice as good as the current. So it made the decision to buy much easier and it hardens us against jumping from job to job simply because the grass may look greener.

Speaking as someone who has ADHD and benefits from
Adderall, I don't experience it as "crack". Nor have I
found it remotely addictive. Certainly it's less
addictive than caffeine.

Similar experiences. Adderall is definitely not pleasurable in the sense that something like cocaine or meth (I don't have experiences with them) seems to be pleasurable.

I find Adderall addictive in the sense that I'm severely "lagged" and sleepy if I discontinue it cold turkey. But, if I taper the dose to zero over 3-4 days, there is no problem.

Actually, I'd say regulating on commercial vs. noncommercial rather than traffic or even, as a fairly blunt tool, a straight server ban is actually more of a violation of the "any legal software" rule (rather, its equally a violation of that rule, and its no longer even superficially about network management, the potential basis for exception to the rule, but instead is pure market segregation.)

A few of my friends had a Danger device. My second hand observation (and you have to remember this was many years ago now) was that they were somewhat fragile.

One friend was on his 5th hiptop in 18 months, and another was on his 3rd in about the same amount of time.

If you drop an iPhone on concrete, it survives just fine so long as you don't shatter the glass. As for a wood floor or carpet, my various iPhones have survived several falls this way without any issues.

As for Danger, the devices would break frequently, even minor drops would result in the screen cosmetically undamaged, but something got loose internally and the device would stop working entirely.

I wanted a Sidekick / hiptop, but the perceived fragility was too much to overcome.

If anyone reading this worked at Danger, was my perceived fragility of the phone more anecdotal than real?
Perhaps I am looking at this wrong, but I don't see why you would use a Markdown parser written in PHP if you're looking for speed. Case in point the parsedown system is fast because it has heavy use of regular expressions, which parse faster and run faster than the host language-- it already relies on a language other than PHP to essentially emulate parts of a well-written lexer.

As debaserab2 says[1], if you are looking for speed, consider PHP extensions.

In my opinion, writing a system like this is a misappropriation of PHP, which evolved from and works best as a hybrid templating/scripting language. It becomes a powerful development platform when its extensive library of C functions is used to do most heavy lifting.

(And "Too much traffic" isn't a valid answer here: if I have a client, I can use as much bandwidth as I like — respecting the other sections of the ToS, which are outside the scope of this discussion.)

I don't see how that's any different than what I wrote. Companies outside of the software industry don't think patent trolls are a problem because their industries aren't beleaguered with patent trolls. They don't have the problem so they don't care about fixing it.

Notice the absence of criticism of the proposed reforms. They're not providing any reasoned critique of the proposed solution or suggesting any alternative way of dealing with patent trolls, they're just denying the existence of the problem because they don't experience it.
"Fun with no limits" is a stick and a paper hat. Sometimes I wonder what other people's childhoods were like.

After reading their site and watching their video my chief question was whether this thing exists, or if you can preorder it and they'll start thinking about whether it's feasible or not, like many kickstarter-type things.
It tells me that it has something to do with puzzles and augmented reality. But that's a pretty broad category, and the page doesn't narrow it down for me at all. It certainly doesn't tell me how it manages to make it so that "fun knows no limits."

If it's so clear to you, perhaps you could explain it instead of just making implicit insults?
I think it depends on different factors. My wife has the same experience as you - never had less than 3 weeks of vacation time. She's a policy analyst in the non-profit sector. I've been in IT as a software developer for 20+ years and have been with 8 different employers across different industrial sectors and ranging from startup to Fortune 500. Most employer changes set me back to 2 weeks.

I know people who feel pressure to work on vacation. The pressure is very real and isn't always related to ambition on the part of those people. Usually they're being exploited by an ambitious manager who has a "hold" of some kind, e.g. exploited person has a child with 2 years left of college and can't afford to lose his/her job.

The markdown parser should be able to do it in an ideal world. Htmlpurifier is very slow.

edit:

To whoever downvoted me, I'm sorry, was I wrong? The markdown parser has to look at every input byte, obviously it's better to do the HTML sanitation at this level because the HTML parser must also look at every input byte, so, combine them into one pass...

Running HTMLPurifier on the output of the markdown parser is inefficient - it's sanitizing known good elements not just the potentially bad ones, so you're giving it more work to do.
There is nowhere that I particularly want to live that I could possibly afford to buy in, though.

Straight Answers About Downloading From Usenet
House Votes to Limit N.S.A.’s Collection of Phone Data
You're a brilliant hacker, you lurk on security and blackhat forums, you know exploits inside and out. One day, you decide to check the security of some big consumer websites, and you find a security hole. What do you do (choose your adventure style)?

* You're a white-hat honest hacker, and all you want is for the internet to be a safer place. You decide to report the vulnerability to the company. Unfortunately, after you sent the email to their engineering team, they told you that the security hole you found isn't critical and refuse to award you a bounty. The rest of the emails go unanswered. You try sending emails to some other departments, including customer support, sales, and legal. No response. 2 months after that, when you're taking a dump on the toilet, federal agents burst into your apartment, knock you down and arrest you without even giving you the chance to wipe your ass. You're charged with industrial espionage, breach of security, and conspiracy to defraud. It turns out that someone did read your emails, checked out the logs, found traces of you researching the security hole. Your defense that you were trying to help is summarily dismissed and you rot in jail.

* You think most people are too serious and need to relax. You decide to have some fun. You download tons of embarrassing data from the company website, write them an untraceable email demanding 1000 BTC and public disclosure of your skills. You're pretty sure they will refuse your request, which they soon do. You troll the company by disclosing that they were hacked, and decide to sell the security hole to the highest bidder. You also sell chinks of data to random hackers and credit card scammers. You retire to a tropical island, drink martini and surf all day.

My understanding is that the real threat from EMP is physical destruction of the circuits by inducing voltages beyond what the wiring can handle. Any bit flips would be transient, since the EMP doesn't last very long (thus the P part).

Trying to use software to protect your chips from being fried by hundreds or thousands of volts being shoved through parts that weren't designed to handle it is clearly not viable.
