A .htaccess (hypertext access) is a file on the web server that allows to create a global configuration for web server. They are generally placed inside the root folder and has various functions such as redirecting url, adding prefix to a url, prevent hotlinking, restricting access, redirecting to error pages, compressing a website to make it more faster, cache control etc.

A .htaccess file can be created on your computer or on the server. The main function of .htaccess is to give instructions to the server. The permission parameters set for a .htaccess file is 644. You can create .htaccess file by creating new file and naming it as .htaccess

The language isn't "a bit exaggerated." It's an offensive dismissal of anyone who criticizes socialized medicine, in particular, and all other social welfare programs in general. His "analysis" is a blanket ad hominem attack. Years ago, if you criticized social programs, you could be summarily dismissed as an apologist for the rich. That kind of slander is bad enough. But now a certain segment of people who no doubt consider themselves enlightened members of polite society have devolved to jumping right to the immediate slander of branding anyone and everyone who disagrees with them as "racist."

You know what? That's social pathology, and the individual I'm responding to is obviously in the grip of it. I stand by what I've said. He should seek help.

On a narrow view why have Dr Morrow's concerns been rejected if because his studies include lots of species but not humans. If, as the article says, there has been "a lack of funding" to do studies on the children who have survived following cytoplasmic transfer?

Isn't this an important enough issue to do a study?

Why would you say "there have been problems with all species undergoing this procedure who have been studied" and "humans having this procedure haven't been studied [in depth]" and conclude that the procedure was "not unsafe"?

Who gains from pushing this through??

Population in Africa is barely sustainable, but they aren't getting mitochondria implants there, not even diag.

> Now, I'm sure if I were in the situation of this enabling me to have a biological family then I'd want it [...]

Personally, I wouldn't be so sure. Having kids is a leap of faith and involves risks no matter what you do, of course, but if I had a problem which a) prevented me from having kids without assistance and b) may result in unknown complications later for my child, I'm not sure I'd do it. At that point being a loving, generous, responsible parent may mean not being a parent at all (or adopting).

I'd have to know what the odds and severity of any potential problems would be in order to compare that to other (normal) genetic risks, though.
"The technical winners (Panels, complex ODBC, entity fields…) were the opposite of what we were rooting for. I’d rather configure my apps with code rather than layers of complex and limitating UI."

I'm not sure what you mean by "complex ODBC" since ODBC is not used in Drupal. The opposite of what you were rooting for is for the end-user to have less power and the coder more power. Get this, Drupal is not taking that power away from you, it is giving some of it to the end-user. It is 2014 and there are still products out there that you have to modify using in-line code in order to get a simple feature such as hiding the author of a post. This is where Drupal gets it right, by letting the end user have more power, they get the site they want, not the site that a coder hands them. Don't like the way posts are displayed on the home page, then create a new view in a UI, not in a php while loop.

There are some beautiful things in Drupal and Drupal 8 is going to be even better. Drupal is an excellent example of software getting better by rebuilding, using best practices rather than just keeping cruft from 10 years ago.

"I know I would be pissed just because I am getting pulled over because I resemble a suspect the cops are looking for"

The thing is, when white people are looking for a white suspect of a crime, they identify (for example) a heavyset 30-ish white male with short cropped brown hair, wearing a red tshirt and blue jeans. When they are looking for a black suspect, it's "a black male".

This attitude is reflected by your own (probably well-intentioned) statement that people who live in a majority-black neighborhood all resemble each other. Take it from a (white) guy who has lived in some -- they don't.

It says The HFEA's scientific reviews dismissed Morrow's findings as not relevant to humans because they were done on inbred animals.

I think that the animals were inbred was probably important to that decision.

There's also a paragraph where another scientist says:

"Whereas the original techniques were used with only [experiments from] mice, rabbits, lab animals... the big difference here is we also have issue of human embryos and this work has been tested in macaque monkeys in primates. All those were very useful, reassuring… hence why we came to the conclusion that this is not unsafe."

So "there have been problems with all species" is not a fair representation of the information given in the article.
It's astonishing that he fails to even mention Nix (and various other distributions like Bedrock) in the section on existing solutions and his previous post on reproducible software and rollbacks. It's almost like, he hasn't heard of it from inside the Red Hat bubble - or perhaps because it's not "Certified cgroup container systemd trending cloud Enterprise Linux (TM)", he isn't interested.

The way he presents this post is almost like he thinks he has discovered some problems nobody else has encountered before too. Nix solves the majority of the problems he mentions, and it still has plenty of room for improvement to fill the gaps where it doesn't. It should really send flags waving about the mentality behind this project and what their intentions really are. They probably want an "integrated solution" (read: tightly coupled to Red Hat components), so that they continue to be in the driving seat.

> We want our images to be trustable (i.e. signed).

Signing images does not make anything trustworthy at all - you still need to trust the signer. It's shocking to hear him mention "post-Snowden" world, yet completely fail to recognize that on should absolutely consider Red Hat to be the potential malicious party in this - especially considering their dubious customer base and large contracts with US government bodies.

On the other hand, Nix, Guix and Debian are trying to create an actual solution to the trust problem - by developing a system where one can perform bit-identical reproductions from the same source code, such that several independent parties can build the same software and you can opt-in to trust a consensus of parties, rather than a single one (and if you don't trust that, you can rebuild packages yourself from source). This is how to create trust in the post-Snowden world - you decentralize it.

> We want ...

We want a lot of things; but Mr Poettering, you have not told us why you want to NIH solutions to every problem you identify, rather than developing upon the existing solutions to (mostly) the same problems. How about some justification as to why Nix should not be considered as the framework to build on, or why say, Bedrock is inadequate for running packages from different distributions on the same OS. Must we really throw away 7 years of effort by the Nix community to support your next toy?

Unifying models of data flow (2011) [pdf]
The last time I tried Btrfs (which was about a year ago on ArchLinux) I found Btrfs snapshots to work very differently to ZFS. At least superficially as most of the guides I could find advocated using rsync to restore snapshots - which even now I find it hard to believe there isn't a cleaner solution.

Aside all of the positive things already mentioned about ZFS, one of the biggest selling points for me is just how easy it is to administrate. The zfs and zpool command line utilities are child's play to use where as btrfs felt a little less intuitive (to me at least).

I really wanted to like Btrfs as it would have been nice to have a native Linux solution that would work on root partitions (my theory being that Btrfs snapshots could provide restore points before running system updates on ArchLinux) but sadly it proved to be more hassle than benefit for me.

Two questions:

In general, I would agree, but wouldn't you be using the slow public key crypto only once to encrypt a symmetric key you've previously generated to destroy the files?

I would assume that symmetric encryption still is more than fast enough to be scary, especially with current CPUs and native AES support.

I would think this is more laziness/incompetence of the developer than an optimisation (even more so as in the OP's article, the file were properly(-ish - I would have used AES over RC4) encrypted, but the symmetric key was attached to the file).

"The end of fun, Apple have just patched"
He doesn't have a problem with the GPLv2 allowing later versions, that's completely reasonable. His problem was that with the GPLv3 they changed the spirit of the license. He thinks a license "upgrade" shouldn't have done that, they should have just released a new license instead.

I.e. previously the agreement was "here's my code, if you change it send me the changes", now in addition to that it includes clauses about what you can do with the hardware you run it on.

I also don't want a future where all you can buy are locked-down devices, but is the GPL really the right venue to fight that battle? If companies want locked-down hardware they're just going to do lock it down anyway, and just use e.g. FreeBSD instead of Linux and contribute none of their code changes back.

Isn't it better that they release locked-down hardware but contribute their code changes, so that if someone wants to make competing open hardware they can start with all the same driver & feature support in Linux?
It's fast (the whole toolchain, not just the runtime after a warmup), not overly verbose, and, as you say, unsurprising.

The article is completely by side the point. He's basically ranting about how they can't test systemd on all distros, because every distro does things differently. How to fix it? Virtualize distros, yay. That may fix your problem, but no one else's.

The real point is that, due to distro fragmentation, Linux gives the casual user an inconvenient shared library linkage experience. At the same time the distros are really good as packaging software, which gives us the "one-click install" experience we're so use to. But they do so, at the price of compatibility, so we have the current distro lock-in situation.

Anyway, as an upstream software developer, I see the medal from the side of library linkage: when my program starts, the dynamic linker resolves this big list of symbols that my program contains and finds me matching libraries. You can extend this paradigm to icons, locale, and other support files as well.

So who tells the dynamic linker which symbols to match? Well, the contents of the shared libraries, and these already contain versioned symbols (e.g. this memcpy@1.0 does this, memcpy@1.1 doesnt do that anymore). The easiest solution to the matching problem is static linking. But that's not what we really want, because we may actually want to replace symbols with better versions (due to security fixes, faster implementations, super-set of features, etc).

And who versions symbols? Well, usually the upstream developers of the important libraries do. And they do that somewhat remarkably well already, but it could be better. If your program uses an upstream that doesnt version things, well, bad choice, static linking is probably the best solution here.

So what I would propose, is to move the problem down to a linkage problem, with better consensus between binary creators and upstream authors on how to version symbols. And if my system currently doesnt have a matching symbol installed? Just download it from the distro's well-versioned repositories, maybe not the whole gtk+ library, but a diff of it to another version.

We would then in the end not have a package installer, but a fetcher-of-missing-versioned-symbols-for-a-binary installer. But this model is pretty far fetched, since the current method of compiling code into monolithic shared libraries is much simpler. On the other hand, the linux dynamic linker is already very intelligent, maybe it's time for the large distros to cooperate on this level.

For example, it does not matter if I work more than 8 hours a day, I will be paid the same. So if I hire somebody to wash the dishes in the evening, it is costing me money. The value I get out of it is quality of life and is difficult to quantify.

Even for people running their own business on the side. Times and times again we see article on HN how IT guys can't really be more productive than a few hours a day. Also, to get back to my dish washing example - I ( and other on HN too ) noticed that that sort of repetitive work is a lot better for reflection. Replacing it with a 1 hour session playing games, working or other activities may actually be overall detrimental to your side business.

What is actually useful though is to use your hourly salary to evaluate the cost of the services you buy. Like why would I expect a professional with more than 10 years experience in his field, coming to my place in the evening to work for less than 10$ a hour ?
