I suffer from chronic pain (pain 24/7, or at least when awake, varying degrees from bad to terrible terrible pain) and have done for 10 years now.

To answer your question: no. I do know that my tolerance for pain is significantly higher than most people. I still feel the constant pain from when I wake up to when I fall asleep. Its a horrible thing. It affects my mind when I am trying to write code just like it would your mind.

I have had all the best medical treatment possible. There is nothing they can do, so I am voluntarily now off all opioids and other analgesics. I would rather be in pain and have as clear a mind as possible that be high and in less pain ... also the cycle of taking opioids -> tolerating them -> needing them but not getting much benefit -> going off them -> withdrawal -> going back on them ... is not pleasant.

The only way to "win" is to ignore it. To go on with life as if I was not in so much agony. The moment people stop and give up, they are destined for a life of being bed ridden, unemployment, hooked on drugs and even more pain (less exercise, less social contact etc. leads to more pain).

Ignoring it takes an incredible amount of mental discipline.

Plenty of people with chronic pain end up bed ridden, unemployed and sometimes suicide.

I have considered an electronic implant after my docs suggested it. For my specific case its very much experimental. It would cost me a fortune with no guarantee of success ... and always a chance of something bad happening. I don't want to pay for the privilege of being the lab rat so the surgeon can write a paper about me in a medical journal. I will wait and see how this tech develops. When there is a 75% chance of it working I will go ahead. Until then I would rather not have to sell my house.

I wouldn't dream of carrying my phone in my pocket...I wear jeans most of the time and it's just plain uncomfortable. I've always carried my iPhones in a vertical, open-ended belt holster (the Sena Elega), which allows me to quickly reach down and retrieve the phone or hit the power button to silence an alarm/call. (Obviously the new position of the power button will prevent me from the latter.)
I agree with drepper on this; it's a solution in search of a problem. You should either know WTF you can accept or use a higher level construct that can resize. Silent truncation seems bad - truncation attacks are a real attack vector that SSL, for example, tries to prevent.

In contrast to many of the others, I think the industrial design of this thing is beautiful. Of greater potential interest around here is they relatively quietly added the Amazon App Store to it.

Still, it amazes me that they don't do something fairly obvious like team up with Bloomberg on becoming the mobile Bloomberg terminals, complete with the chat and coloured keys.

We just updated our scanner and included this CVE. You can run Detectify to see if your setup is vulnerable. We offer a recurring service that runs continuously and alerts you if you are exposed to new emerging vulnerabilities. This removes some of the complexity of always being on top of security alerts.
I have always thought exactly that to.

On a side note when I have been in major pain at some time I am have atleast been partialy capeble of consiusly ignoring the pain, it still hurts but i just try not to care. Obviously the pain that I have been able to do that with is no were near the pain we are talking about here.
For sure - and like I said to tptacek, it depends a bit how easy the kits are to obtain relative to groceries. If they magically appear on my doorstep the same day when I otherwise don't have time to run to the store and cook, that's worlds different than if I have to plan for them as much as any other meal.

If I make an assumption of why using checks is still common in the US, it's for a few reasons stated here.

1. NO FEES. There are no fees associated with checks, unless you post your mail with a stamp. Otherwise, it's the most cost effective way even if it's classical.

2. Credit card transactions means landlord loses ~2.9% on every transaction. This adds up over time and rent prices go up.

3. Auto bill pay means getting someone's bank account number, which requires complete trust. Yes, contracts can be signed and such but so many people do not use contracts if they live with roommates. In California, my experience of signing a legitimate contract just to live with other roommates (usually plural) is basically zero. The ones who require it are large corporations, apartment complex owners who do background checks (again, which I've never had) and stingy landlords.

4. Many owners still use legacy systems which are not automated to keep track of transactions, thus having physical and tangible check or cash makes it easier for them to keep track of this. We don't have common, online repository set up for these small-time complex owners to move to. They're used to the way they do things and won't change.

Overall, it's more cost-effective to collect checks, continue using legacy system and avoid transaction fees by using checks or even cash.

I think it is in Plato's Phaedo where Socrates considers joy impossible without pain. I always thought that this ancient idea of harmony, dating back to the earliest philosophical records and pertaining also to the philosophy of the East, made sense also as a principle of consciousness. So in this respect, the notion of absolute pain (or joy) is disconcerting. Because, where does it reside? What processes constitute pain? Nerve signals, sure, and chemicals. But what is the essence to that? Can the dynamic be abstracted and generalized? Perhaps these questions are the frontier and the real question of the Cartesian ego. Finally, if we don't have answers to this, who is to say then, really, even that there isn't a Hell and eternal pain after death?

You seem to be knowledgeable, so is there a plausible bridge between the impossibility of this kind of collapse and complete impossibility of black holes?

Maybe the bash is invoked on some other request path, not just / which you are scanning.

I have a Galaxy Gear (1st generation). When I got it I thought the dialer and speakerphone would be more useful, but they aren't in reality. The most useful feature is getting notifications from the phone without having to reach into my pocket. My wife uses her Galaxy Gear to take lots of pictures (especially when pictures or videos aren't allowed).
The title is nonsensical. The company's clients have 50 billion in revenue so that makes opengov a 50 billion dollar company? By that logic the food caterer to Apple is a 100 (?) billion dollar company.

Prior to reading the article I thought the main purpose of opengov was to help local governments facilitate open access to their data. When I have come across a government that uses opengov it is in reality more of a gate keeper. Adding another level of control to government data rather than letting citizens have direct access to the raw data.

The change in focus to internal use by governments could indicate a lack of money being spent for the original purpose.

The trick is to keep up with the updates, do pacman -Syu every two weeks or so, and not wait months.
We have a team of data engineers in data science and PhD's measuring all the signals we receive from the beacons and performing algorithms (e.g. trilateration, least squared etc) and combining this with positioning signals we can process based on positioning of the device. The trick is to account for different devices, different antenna placement on models etc. So over time we build a database that improves accuracy based on usage. Regarding people being present, we can account for that if we predict that signals are reflecting differently based on estimated density. These are super challenging problems so we have a team dedicated to it, and iterate quickly.

I _did_ read your post. But it was still my understanding that not everyone can get an account as easily as you describe. If you show up to the UK (as I did >10yrs ago) from the US with NO credit history, no lease (b/c of company rental), only US financial info, etc, it's NOT quite so straightforward to even get those "basic" accounts. I always assumed this was because of the specifics of the anti-money-laundering laws that are on the books in the UK.

(I've been working with a startup here in the UK that's trying to solve this and some other similar problems, which is why I even brought it up.) Not entirely sure why I got downvoted for my original comment, but c'est la vie.
I don't ever make galantines, but I do bone out a couple chickens every week, and he's right: when you get the knack, you can bone out a chicken in a little under a minute without trying.
systemd's modules are interdependent and all require systemd to be PID1 in order to function. You cannot, e.g. strip out logind only and use it as a ConsoleKit replacement. Contrast this with a toolkit based approach like s6, which can run as init, process supervisor or both, and can have its tools that operate on process state be used independently.

Another criteria is whether you can swap out one component without breaking the whole. You can't do this for journald, for example. You're forced to keep it by reducing it to a sink that redirects to your syslogd of choice. On the other hand, replacing parts of the GNU coreutils with those of 9base or sbase, for instance, won't break the rest (though it will break programs that depend on the GNU coreutils' extended options, of course).
I think eccentric and idiosyncratic people are on average likely to be even worse at making crowdfunding videos and social media management than they are at writing grant applications. Mountebanks, on the other hand are usually brilliant at fundraising from the common man.

Blackberry, ditch the OS...it's holding you back.

I loved my Moto Droid Pro back in the day. I got a decent ecosystem, compact portrait qwerty package, and serviceable screen.

Whenever I use OSS and run into a bug, I try to fix it. If I can't, I open an issue and try to be as helpful as I can in reproducing it.
I've tried:

* HuBoard (https://huboard.com/)

* Waffle.io (https://waffle.io/)

* SweepBoard (http://sweepboard.com/)

* ZenHub.io (https://www.zenhub.io/)

but I'm not using any of them. There was one more, but can't recall it. I will add it here when I remember what it was.

Edit: Found it, although it's a Chrome Extension.

Edit 2: I missed:

* TaskTub (http://tasktub.com/)

and just found:

* Blossom.io (https://www.blossom.io/)

* Gitban (http://www.gitban.com/) - looks good, but like a work-in-progress demo/MVP
I'm also disappointed that cheat codes don't seem to make it into release builds any more. (Or do they? I haven't seriously played anything modern for a while now - I'd love to be proved wrong.)
I had the same issue. 50 billion is used interchangeably in the most nonsensical ways. (Hey! its a 50 Billion dollar industry! we capture 5% of that and we have $2.5 Billion in Revenues!)

2. $50 billion customer list (whatever that means)

3. Customers with $50B in Revenue

4. Customers with $50B in spending budgets.

This requires you to wait for the whole batch to complete, instead of starting a new process as soon as one finishes.

For these cases, I started using GNU parallel instead of plain shell. It does the heavy concurrency lifting for you, and even allow almost seamless parallelization across different machines.

For example, your final code could be written as such:

parallel ./settings.sh python bin/migrate_media.py {} $LIMIT ::: $(seq 0 $LIMIT $NUMPLAYLISTS)

This looks great. I have recently started a simple physics-based rope swinging game in Elm. It's a lovely language to use, but I have found the workflow quite frustrating. I love the "try elm" editor on the website for the quick feedback loop, however the text editor itself is basic. For this reason I find myself writing larger blocks of code in emacs, and then copying and pasting between the browser for debugging. Not ideal.

I will try this program later, and even if it's not currently quite there feature wise, it definitely looks like it has a lot of potential facilitate a great development experience.
That could be the reason. I have renamed /bin/bash version 3.2 to /bin/bash3 and copied /usr/local/bin/bash that I build myself to /bin/bash making effectively bash version 4.3 the default login and system shell.

I started bash 3.2 from bash 4.3 so that could be the reason why it is not vulnerable as child process.
I'm not sure I agree with Amos' argument, but the fact is that he does address this in the article.

In case people find it interesting, this is very similar to how one efficiently builds a search engine for high QPS and update rate (lockless realtime document index), though that example is slightly more involved than a hash map.

The basic premise is that the entry point to your data structure (or internal pointers) can change over time. You don't dismantle older entry points/pointers until all older readers release, though you don't have to wait for all concurrent readers to exit.

UITableView lays out cells from the top. If there aren't enough cells to fill the screen, there will be an empty area in the bottom part of the table view, between the last cell and the bottom of the table view (as you would expect).

Unfortunately, there isn't a standard way to invert a UITableView, and have cells laid out from the bottom.

So, the easiest solution for us was to set the table's transform to CGAffineTransformMake(1, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0) (flip the whole table upside down) and then give the cells the same transform (to cancel out the table view's transform).

A bit hacky, and causes indexPaths to be inverted as well (0,0 is now at the bottom), but worked for us.

Seen a few other people take this approach as well:

You might as well ask the same question about anything the U.S. does, given that the U.S. undisputedly has "more important" and unresolved domestic problems.

In the words of Carl Sagan: "Just now, there a great many matters that are pressing in on us that compete for the money it takes to send people to other worlds. Should we solve those problems first, or are they a reason for going? "
