Agreed! Where I work, GitHub graphs make it look like I'm doing 5 times more work than everyone else. But I'm really just pushing commits more often.
I suppose with a limited controller, you need a way to get to less used functions (such as logout) without accidentally triggering it. It's not that annoying of a sequence, compared to something you don't want regularly popping up.
It could be a simple one-line script that wraps the real command, setting memory limits and the like first. (I used a similar trick to prevent Skype using up all my memory in the past.)

I had to turn iMessage off and back on again in order for Apple to re-register my number... until then I was unable to send to any existing contacts.
I suspect the 'standards glue' is an important aspect of all this. With loosely coupled modules and standardised glue you can update components separately on different time scales and be reasonably confident that they will still integrate with other components.

Tighter coupling with rapid integration in functions and therefore changes in glue makes it harder to work piecemeal. Distributions have very different time lines. Pity the packager stuck trying to back port patches to an earlier version of the system when the upstream project(s) is(are) pushing out security updates based on the current versions and their current glue/api.

Of course it will work and work well. Redhat are betting their major product on this set of modules. The problem will be the load on other projects working around this.

Related anecdote, I was trying to explain covert channels to a new engineer as a means of sending a message through something which wasn't really designed to send messages (my goto example was using screen dimming to send code data) but they immediately came back with "Oh like the secret moved on Street Fighter!"

A lot of HFT shops (if not most), don't "manage" any money in the conventional sense. They close the books at night and don't hold any positions when there isn't active trading.

What Buffet does and what HFT do are completely different. The reason why Buffet has to change how he trades is because of HFT. If Buffet puts in an order for 100,000 shares of Coke (KO) while it's at $40 a share, he would not stand a chance. HFT bots would swarm in and scoop every last share of KO that's available and then sell it back for incrementally more. All within a fraction of fraction of a fraction of a second.

It depends what sort of film you want to make. For documentaries, that model can work quite well. If you want to make a narrative feature it's a great deal trickier. That's why the most successful Kickstarter projects in this area have been tied to existing franchises, eg the Veronica Mars film.

But suppose you have an original concept that's not a film version of a graphic novel and doesn't have a built-in fanbase: that's an awful lot harder to get interest for, and the methods you can use to get interest (eg sharing the script or key art or storyboards) can also limit your upside, ie the more you reveal to potential backers the less suspense you can create in the work itself.

It's doable and crowdfunding is definitely going to become an increasingly important business model, but it's still very far from an ideal approach. When I look at narrative projects on Kickstarter I can tell a lot just from the tagline, picture, and budget they're seeking. And for 90% of people trying to do a feature the prognosis is negative - either the quality is going to be dreadful, or the producers clearly don't know what they're doing, or everyone in front of and behind the camera is going to be working for free (with a correspondingly higher risk of non-completion). Unfortunately, the most competent ones (in terms of demonstrable ability to deliver a marketable film) are less likely to get funded, because of the amount of money they need to raise.
I hate marketers because they flood my mailbox with so much useless shit and paper that I miss mail from people I want to hear from. They've succeeded at making every form of communication that they touch useless, and I'm glad that it's illegal for them to call cell phones.

An Atari ST was the first computer I ever owned.

I sent my father to the shops to buy a C64 and he was convinced by a salesman that what I really wanted was an ST.

Atari shortly after pulled out of Australia and I found myself paying $15 a month for copies of ST Format from England.

It's surprising to me that those would even differ in the first place. You'd think that you'd have a single deliverable which is delivered and signed, and the installer does the same thing regardless of where it gets the package. What makes OTA different from iTunes?
If I understand correctly, black holes do not play a large role in our model of the origins of the universe. So this doesn't (directly) lead to "rethinking the origins of the universe". Does this work call the big bang into question (or even our current models of the big bang)? Or is it just details like galaxy formation that it makes us rethink?

Another question: Something very massive and very small is at the center of our galaxy. At least, we sure think so. Does this make us question that? Or does this just make us question whether that massive thing is in fact a black hole?
There have been cases where arxiv has been used as a venue of final publication, but the general intent is that stuff submitted there will eventually find a home in the peer-reviewed literature. There are sometimes exchanges of arguments there that never make it to prime-time, but that's not the dominant use-case.

The reality is, though, that people working in a given field are much more likely to use the arxiv version as the basis for further work, simply because it is available so much earlier. It is not uncommon to reach the point of publication and then run around to try and find out where all the arxiv submissions you used were published, which can sometimes be challenging.
As a disclaimer, this falls under the "Back then" section of the talk which is an overview of how things used to work. We no longer do things this way.

Publishing a page is running content from a CMS through a templating system. However, the time spent executing templates isn't the only factor in the duration of the "publish". The slides refer to a compilation step (which actually also included a preprocessor step), and includes delegating to a service to copy the resulting page to disk and ensure the write succeeds for all data centers. For data consistency and system monitoring, we essentially treat that entire process as an atomic action and wait for all parts to finish. Additionally, since "publishing" is a core process for us, we avoid doing massive publishes that might risk the systems involved in the successful publishing of current articles. So increasing the number of these for the sake of pushing code is considered too risky. Yes, there are ways of mitigating that risk, but dealing with this legacy problem once and for all is a better path forward than scaling up this solution.

My Father has suffered with full body RSD/CRPS like the patient in this article. Even the slightest breeze can cause him excruciating pain. He has a morphine pump in his abdomen that provides a constant drip of dilaudid on his spine, its the only thing that lets him manage his pain.

There is some hope. Last year some scientists in Italy discovered a break through treatment that has had good success...though only tested on patients that have recently developed CRPS. The FDA is currently evaluating it for treatment in the US. (http://www.rsdhope.org/neridronate---new-medication-for-crps...)

The latter. It's extremely irritating because they expect us to write the system tests for everything from the HDDs to RAM to Fusion I/O cards to network interfaces, and all we have to start from are the standard stuff ... so when they change things and don't provide tests, it is unpleasant.

" A dark shadow falls over me when I think about all the hours of work spent by Atari ST engineers to build something almost lost to oblivion."

Sigh. There are sooooooooo many things people have built which are sitting there in "oblivion" now. One of the most awesome things of playing with turn of the century computers (like PDP 11's or VAXen) is that you can see the stuff they did, in the contraints they had, and really understand how amazingly inefficient/overpowered OSes are today. When you have only one font, its fixed width and size, and it comes out of a ROM you don't worry about typography for example.

AFAIK the issue only affected OTA updates. I suspect that the vast majority of testing occurred without using OTA. I wouldn't be surprised if they are a bit more aggressive about testing OTA updates too after this.
This is exactly why I'm only interested in crowdfunding a single, early stage, experiment.
For some reason I can't replay to your other comment. Weird.

I build modern async web apps for a living and it's not that hard. I ran eCommerce for a medium-size software company (as a part of my duties) for several years. If you find an ecommerce application difficult to maintain, it is probably a result of poor design.
For those interested, it looks like programming examples are in JAVA. Probably a good read for those who never quite get classes.
In today's world of common exploits, sadly that is not good advice. Almost every update contains security patches, making them "necessary".
>> There is nothing wrong with eating milk, fruit, and toast for a meal.

Of course you can. But you can build bonds around preparing food, sitting down and having a large meal that you can't standing around eating an apple. Pass down traditions and recipes.
Haha I couldn't agree more!

A better solution I saw in Japan was a button that has the waiters come in a couple of minutes.

Why American restaurants don't implement something like this reminds me why some places in San Jose are cash only.
Put pasta in a pan, fill it with water, put it on the stove on high heat. Put pasta sauce in a pot, put it on the stove on low-medium heat. Take out some ground meat and throw it in a second pan, put it on the stove on high heat. Put salt and pepper in the meat pan and stir it around with a wooden stick. When the meat is cooked, put it in the pot. When the pasta water boils, drain it and put the pasta in the sauce pot. Stir. Done.

You can replace ingredients in dishes like that for variety, like tofu for meat, cream of mushroom soup for tomato sauce, rice for pasta ('Minute' rice cooks in 5). But like you say, it's not about recipes, as you can find thousands of these online.

Time is an excuse. You have the time. Everybody has the time. Everybody has 10 minutes they can spend to make some food to eat. I don't care how many responsibilities you have, how long you work, how little you sleep, what you do with your free time, none of that. You have 10 minutes. Cook something.

I don't think the weapons analogy is a good one. For the developer of the software the purchase of the "weapon" is also essentially makes all other instances of that weapon useless forever (assuming customers patch promptly).

Perhaps restricting the analogy to nuclear weapons would make sense. Only nation states (software companies) and terrorists (malicious hackers... and perhaps intelligence agencies) would be interested in purchasing such weapons.
This is a brilliant application. I wish I could trust it to hold my brain dump, but this seems to be registered and hosted in the United States, which is no longer a secure place to store my data. I'm unable to determine how this is to be monetized, or if at all, so would it be possible to free the source of this application, so that it can be hosted in a trusted location, such as Seychelles?
I agree, carriers might be the likely candidate. As for a smoke test, I'm seeing reports from users on US carriers. If it were "phones break on some obscure carrier in China", okay, fine. But when it appears to be breaking on carriers that are available to the testing labs right there in Cupertino, meh, it's got to be at least one other thing.

As another commenter said, I'd love to see a post morteum strictly in the interests of "don't let this happen to you". Sadly, we're unlikely to ever see it.

In FreeBSD, it is tcsh in sh mode. Bash does the same too when invoked as sh[0]. It's POSIX compliant with extensions. There's still all the shell's code there, it's just that some of it is switched off by default, or its behaviour modified, to be compliant.

Exactly. To compound the issue, older content may not fit into our current schema, so there are other data issues that need to be solved. Adding hand-coded HTML to pages was quite common 10 years ago, so parsing that into the structures we work with today isn't always straightforward and difficult to automate.

"In 1974, Stephen Hawking used quantum mechanics to show that black holes emit radiation. Since then, scientists have detected fingerprints in the cosmos that are consistent with this radiation, identifying an ever-increasing list of the universe’s black holes."

Er, what? I don't think this is true, or Hawking would have his Nobel prize by now. Maybe consistent in the sense that the predictions are that Hawking radiation is undetectably low for stellar mass black holes. Also, analogue systems don't count.

As a foreigner, how does the insurance industry deal with illnesses like this? Bedridden for 9 years, with loads of heavy sedatives a day + whatever else there might be of tests and whatnot... From the article, it seems the family is entirely alone with this (apart from some potential community support).
One problem is that it isn't clear what category workers are in.
It says it doesn't support their stickers because they are intended to be placed on moveable objects. That sounds like it is a hardware limitation, otherwise why would they be restricting their developer community? Still very excited about this.
I'm working on something that's very similar. It's early in development, and lacks many features. But if you private host it, it's already very usable.

I believe it's safe to use in the sense of being stable. I don't believe they've had a full security audit yet, though.
To be fair, with all the various ways how shell scripts (not only in bash) interpolate, evaluate, substitute etc., the typical shell language is much, much harder to keep safe against code injection than say Python (or even PHP). After all, code injection/evaluation is actually what you want in a shell script, half of the time.
So true. When you have a small account you can be much more agile and make some good returns simply by being able to trade without moving prices...
I went to http://healthcare.gov, filled out some online forms and picked a plan. It's like Amazon.com for healthcare -- sort by brand/price/features, add to cart, check out. The only difference is that whatever insurer you sign up with sends out their own bill afterwards rather than paying the website.

I've been buying my own insurance since reaching adulthood. Before the federal exchange, I typically found personal plans through http://eHealthInsurance.com, though they have less selection now than before the exchange. I think some insurers in states with an exchange pulled out of the private comparison sites like this.

The attack surface of this bug may very well be the largest attack surface of any bug in history. Update bash. Just update bash. Everywhere. On everything you have it on. Don't think about whether, just think about how.

(Note I'm not claiming this is the "worst bug ever"... there's stiff competition for that claim. But most of the rest of the "worst bug ever"s I can think of are some point that failed, some particular thing you could do for full root access or something. I can't think of anything else with this sheer staggering surface area.)
