I am not ignoring the reality: public or semi-public posts (facebook) are not going anywhere and should be considered public information.

Reading my previous post you can surely infer that I disagree with the mass spying but not that I am (or not) gay.
This is not a coincidence: I don't hide this political view and accept to be vocal about it publically because I believe discussing it helps protecting the democracy I live in today. If I am to be accused of having that opinion later on, then so be it because that was an accepted risk.

On the other hand I don't accept that my privacy can be used against me, be it related to my sexuality or the opinions I chose to keep for myself or only share with close friends privately.

Overall I am not denying that the information can be found elsewhere or that the Nazis used past associations (I have no opinion about that) but the key point is that you should be able to dissociate between your public life and your private life.

I am well aware of the public traces I leave on forums and "social media" but I don't know to which extend my private conversations are infiltrated and I am much less careful when I write them. So I am not sure what extreme (or not so extreme) opinion I once formulated and was stored somewhere. That could be used against me by the next fascist government. There are two ways to avoid that: the first is that it is never stored in the first place, the second is that I never formulate such an opinion. I want the option that is compatible with a democracy.

My guess is that, they are full time employee. There should be hierarchical overseeing managers and performance review, for it to be this much effective.
Slightly off topic, your site design is awesome. Would you share what libraries/frameworks/skills/time-resources are needed for something like this. Just curious. For me, the graphics & layout are far more interesting.
Sambuca's an eighty proof, anise-flavored liquor that's often used to make "caffè corretto." It's kind of a traditional Italian thing among some guys, although better made with espresso. Worth trying if you've never had it.

I doubt he was being dosed with anything more exotic than that. (not to trivialize it: I wouldn't want to handle a gun after drinking that kind of alcohol) What your grandfather described, starting to not care about the suffering surrounding him, is a very natural and human thing.
That is actually currently being contested by React and .jsx.

That said, I've seen multiline abused for writing SQL queries as well, which would have been better off being written in a separate .SQL file and `fs.read` into a string with a descriptive var name. (Ignoring that massive SQL strings is a code smell imo).
How does he show initiative? A couple of reasons people work on side projects are to gain experience and show initiative. While I'd agree that 1, 2, and 3 are good things....I would also say that side projects are a way to achieve #2.

A lot depends on your situation:

- Do you live in an area with many opportunities?

- Are you willing to relocate?

- How well-regarded is your school / department?

- How have you applied to the jobs you've applied to?

- What kind of work are you particularly interested in and prepared for?

- Does your school provide any placement help?
I think by "single division of labor" he means that there's one global labor supply which gets stratisfied across countries, "trans-national" labor supply. So some countries have most of their workers performing so-called "high-skill" capital-intensive production (first-world "core" countries, eg Hershey's imports cocoa, then processes it in the US to produce chocolate). Other countries develop a more blue-collar labor-intensive job supply, for the extraction of raw materials (cocao farmers in the Ivory Coast producing raw exports).

"Multiple divisions of labor" would mean that each nation maintains its own, sovereign hierarchy of labor. It describes economies prior to globalization, when nation-states tended to do most of their trade internally, rather than across huge geographic distances and political lines.

Even bounded rationality is totally wrong. Human behaviour isnt (economically) rational "except for limitations".

The very source of the value we place upon institutions, people, goals, etc. is entirely a product of the interaction between culture and basic psychological drives.

People do not have "preferences" in the strong propositional sense required for modelling. They have drives, ideals, etc. These can be systematized by asking them to rank states of affairs but even here things are delicate (which is why polling on issues is generally useless).

Any kind of "rationality" talk is extremely prescriptive in practice: failing to actually look at the world and describe it, libertarians et al. go around theorizing in an ahistorical vacuum with pseudo-computer human stand-ins. And criticise actions in the real world that dont conform.

There are several ways you can implement this, but unless you wait occasional double spends are fairly easy to pull off. To put it simply unconfirmed transactions take a while to propegate and don't instantly decrement your wallet. True a single small transaction might not seem like much, but it's anonymous and even a small chance of success chance is going to be with it to some people.

PS: A 51% attack is only needed to counter confirmed transactions unconfirmed transactions have little protection and take a while to get confirmed.

This is great. Now if only I could use an app to make sure that a piece of produce labeled as organic was truly organic.

The higher prices associated with organic produce seem like they could be a big temptation for bait-and-switchers. I know there are stringent certifications, but the incentive is there.

Thanks for the link. Definitely looks interesting.

So what would be the process here? I build up a portfolio of 2-3 projects, and then I link them on my resume. Would HR and recruiters bother to look through them? I guess I'm wondering what a company like Google would do considering they probably get 20,000 applications a week. Would their recruiter even take the time to click through my apps even though I have no industry experience?
I thought the libressl devs thought it was a mistake to even try to fall back -- the code should use OS-provided random numbers, and if they're not there, give up. If so, I'm a little surprised to hear libressl is trying harder than openssl.

While your comment about drug tolerance rings true, I think you're indulging in logic at the cost of common sense. I know many people -- myself and my wife included -- that are "one cup a day" types. I've had just one mug of coffee every morning for most of the last 10 years.

>They are arrogant and dismissive,

I think they've earned that right, and this attitude may be necessary to scare away the kind of developers who might (with perfectly good intentions) end up making the job of the OpenBSD developers a lot harder.

OpenBSD is amazing software. By far the best OS I've ever used in my life. If the cost of that is a bad attitude, so be it. Whatever they're doing, it's working.
I suppose I am showing my ignorance of history, but I was rather surprised to see Netherlands listed as the hegemon antecedent to the UK. Not to dismiss the many achievements the Dutch had in finance and trade in the 16-17th centuries, but I suppose my US-centric education just never focused on them as a world-wide economic center to the same extent as the British Empire, current US, etc. Interesting.

I actually find the theory, and its focus on production networks vs. trade networks to be rather intriguing. Wallerstein's 1974 publication "The Rise and Future Demise of the World Capitalist System"[1] definitely seems to use the World-Systems viewpoint to predict (in a loose sense of the word) the economic shifts ongoing since that time, but I'd have to do more reading to have any idea as to whether he was merely stating the obvious to back up his outlook.

The "Iron Dome" will not change the current situation in a way that, say, political negotiation will. It's really frustrating to watch the same process play itself out. Throw a few more bombs in, stir the ashes (so to say) and repeat in 2 years. Is the ongoing plan to degrade the operational capacity of Hamas _just so_ that they cannot seriously threaten? Does the Iron Dome entail perpetual open warfare?

It's clear that Israel is doubling down on automation and military technology so that the war can grind on from an increasingly safe distance. They have the tiger by the tail and they cannot let go! So, lock it in the closet, behind domes and fences, etc.

I would hate being stuck in Gaza right now. Can you imagine? What a shit-show. There is no "dome" there, naturally. The bombs come flying in with ease. And it seems like 50/50 that there will be a ground invasion. Supposedly Egypt has the tunnels to Gaza sealed. Maybe Israel thinks this is the time to completely smash Hamas. All this is something to think about while you sit in a basement, for days.

I think he's more literal: did Anand really just stay inside at the hotel that much?
With OpenSSL, if you know you're going be chrooting, you can explicitly seed the internal PRNG with a call to RAND_poll() before you chroot, avoiding the need to open /dev/urandom once you've chrooted. (Similarly, you're supposed to call RAND_poll() to re-seed after forking because there's no safe way to detect that you've forked. Of course, if you fork while in a chroot you're screwed.)

I really think that LibreSSL's RAND_poll() should have similar behavior to ensure maximum compatibility with OpenSSL and to provide a means to use chroot() safely without the risk of falling back to the "bobo" code. (Also, a means of safely reseeding after a fork on systems without minherit(MAP_INHERIT_ZERO)).

(Incidentally, libsodium has a similar API: you can explicitly call randombytes_stir() to cause the library to open (and keep open) a file descriptor to /dev/urandom, so subsequent calls to the PRNG work in a chroot.)
"Muddy the waters"? I think lines, not water, are blurred :)

Hope you find it at least partly valuable. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any specific questions.
In my experience, companies tend to look for what you have done rather than what you simply know from a degree. Couple of suggestions maybe -

- To start with, identify any specific individual or team projects from your courses and highlight them on your CV, instead of just listing the classes.

- Look for small coding projects - talk to friends, family and neighbors, see if they know someone who might need help. It could be something as simple as helping a local club or mom & pop store to set up their first web page - start from there.

- While searching, on the side pick an area of technology and get familiar with it. For example - if you are not hands-on familiar with various databases: download MongoDB, see if you can configure it, get it running, and build a sample project with it. Then maybe download MySQL, get it running as well and figure out the difference. You could look into web servers, CMS, AWS, mobile apps, and all kind of things.

All these little bits you learnt and did will come in handy on your CV and, more so, if you do land an interview.
Yes, which is to not redact text. As you have already found, it is an exceedingly complex problem to do it correctly. But more importantly, when it is done incorrectly, or redactions are made from political motivations (as we've seen excessive evidence of), they are practically impossible to challenge.
Double spends would be hard enough that it is not worth it for low-value transactions. The operator of Ghash would have a 30% chance of pulling it off, but that problem would be solved if hashpower/pool concentration gets solved.

That link points to a bunch of data sources, not how the site was designed, unless I missed something. A little sleuthing says the site is more about the launch of a CSS animations framework rather than a health tracker. Somewhere maybe there's d3.
I think the Iron Dome is helping to effectively neutralize Hamas and reduce the number of weapons Hamas has, which may help defuse the situation, making it perhaps more possible that Hamas/Fatah coalition will see their best option is in a negotiated solution.

That said, I really hope they don't launch a ground invasion - thanks to the Iron Dome it is even more asymmetrical/unnecessary than it usually is and would only serve to push Hamas back towards more radical tactics, like suicide bombings, and other more radical groups will form in Hamas' wake if Hamas is destroyed.

Hopefully cooler heads prevail. But we're talking about Bibi here.
> sshd will fork() and chroot() into /var/empty. After the fork(), you can't use the entropy you have because it's shared with the parent (i.e., it's not "entropic").

What's wrong with generating some random numbers using the parent's entropy pool before fork and using that as the child's entropy pool?
I think he's bothered by the vaguely sinister use of "anonymous". It's a true adjective, of course, but not really worth including in the title unless you're trying to imply something bad (and get page views).
There's a Twitter feed of wikipedia edits that originate from the US Congress - https://twitter.com/congressedits

I honestly didn't pick up on any hostility in the tone of this article. There was no insulting, for instance. It was a simple one-by-one listing of (seemingly minor) mistakes along with corrections for those mistakes.

I think, in order to find hostility in that, you'd have to be looking for it.
It would be hard to land a dev job if you have nothing to suggest you can be productive on day one.

I'll suggest you start looking at other IT jobs where training is available. Tech support type jobs are a great way to break into the industry while getting your dev skills to a marketable level.

A 2-3 months goal is not a healthy way to approach it; you wouldn't ask "what can I do to be a competent doctor or lawyer in the next 2-3 months", the same goes for any profession. Software development isn't a magic bag of tricks, it is a skill set that you build up over time.
If anybody is using dd to rescue a failing drive, I can very much recommend using the spectactular ddrescue instead.

I had a 2TB drive turn up five figure error rates (Raw Read Error rate ended up at 90k - when I started, it was already no longer possible to mount it, but it did show up in /dev) and thought I had lost an entire year of family pictures (mea culpa on not having a backup, of course). It took four months, 24/7 of meticulous work, but it ended up giving me a near perfect copy to an identical drive (save for ~20kb of truly dead sectors).

Amongst many other features, it has a logfile where it keeps track of the overall process - so that it can be killed or paused and restarted later.

That is silly, if someone is "averse to the violence" they aren't going to be recruited by an argument that essentially boils down to "No.. don't worry about it.. now only 10% of our missiles make it through.."
This scenario, were the population in control has nearly magical technology compared to the nearly useless technology available to those under occupation, reads to me like a dystopian future that is usually written about in science fiction.

I wish the scenario playing out here was a blip in history one rather than one that festers for decade, after decade, after decade without significant positive change.
Studies re: antioxidants show that large doses of isolated compounds are not so good for you. The famous vitamin E study is an example of this. Scientists decided to study vitamin E, though, because people whose diets were high in naturally-occurring vitamin E had improved mortality -- in particular, these diets were cardioprotective. A similar paradox is being seen, to a lesser degree, in comparing diets high in fish and diets that include fish oil supplements or omega-3 supplements.

The combination of studies shows not that "antioxidants are bad" but that we don't understand how to isolate their benefits. Diets high in antioxidants from whole foods (dead plants and animals), rather than nutraceuticals or supplements, are consistently linked with health. Apparently it's not so simple as isolating one compound -- we need a balance of chemical compounds coming in, working in concert.

(It's like we evolved to thrive on real food instead of pills! Weird!)
The data is accurate. Probably mostly sleeping, working or eating. There is a bit of a bias towards those being the most noticeable places since you spend a lot of time there, while other stuff you do may only be for 10-15 minutes and relatively is very little. You may be surprised by how much actual time you spend at home or a hotel even though it feels like you've gone out and done a lot of stuff during the day — by percentage of total time in a day it may not be that much.

Also many places have a lot of nice facilities that might still count as being at the location like restaurants, bars, rooftops, pools, beaches, gym, etc.

> Anyway, the best way is to enable as many warnings as you can, and have the discipline to fix the ones you see, without forcing yourself or anyone with -Werror.

Seeing as how easy it is to zap the -Werror from the configure script, I don't think that anyone is being forced to use it. However, making it the default helps avoid the opposite scenario where a growing amount of warnings (some potentially critical!) whizz past and nobody gives a shit.

So, the fact that warnings are enabled, they break built for some people, these people fix the issue and/or shout about it on the Internet (preferrably bugs@), it all is exactly what needs to happen. The problems get noticed and fixed this way. They don't just pile up. Yes it can be annoying, yes there are some stupid warnings -- ideally there'd be a flag -Wuseful-warnings. Yes people are free to zap the -Werror if they don't care about these warnings. Hopefully they know what they are doing because it really is possible that a bug in LibreSSL or in their system headers for example is calling for attention.

Consider how much discussion there was around goto fail and the like -- about the fact that static analysis (or smart compilers) would've caught these things. Why didn't they listen to the compiler?! So passing -Werror is one way towards making sure people look at the issues.

But most pages in Chinese won't be showing all 10k+ glyphs on the same page. Small pages won't have very many characters at all, a few paragraphs would only be a few hundred different characters, so a minimal font file would be on the order of kilobytes. 3k+ characters covers 98% of the text in a common newspaper, that font file is on the order of a megabyte.

I've used FontForge to export much smaller font files containing only particular characters. But there are also ways to store char fonts in json using libs like typeface.js and cufon.
