Fair point, even though:

- At this point sysdig is estimated to have tens of thousands of users, and we haven't gotten a kernel bug in a while, with people (us included) regularly using it a lot in production. Of course, I see the irony of mentioning this in a "shellshock" thread

- the dkms packaging should completely hide all the complexities required in maintaining a kernel module

- Part of the kernel code, if you look at the contributors, has been written/reviewed by gregkh, so we like to think the quality is "high enough"

- There might be plans at some point to try and propose a merge of the code to mainline
I am not an Emacs user so I can't answer your question there, but I thought you might want to know that I experienced the same issues with MacVim and speed. However, Vim from the terminal works a lot faster for me. Using it from the terminal also removes a lot of your crutches, and forces you to do things the Vim way rather than the GUI way.
My early 90s HP InkJet was a workhorse, as was the NEC laser printer I had (though it had driver issues). My computers stopped coming with a parallel port.
This looks great! I can use Emacs again!! Thanks!
I completely agree with your sentiment. Could it be that in the UK, there is more ingrained sense of collective duty? Or that the prestige of working for the BBC is such that it attracts higher than average talent and work ethic?

Among serious Christian circles it would be phrased as "learning that first century Jewish culture was different from ours and didn't react the same to certain concepts". They didn't see it as at all weird to identify Jesus with wisdom -- not because they were idiots or missed a blatant contradiction, but simply because they didn't have the same specific hangups we do. Likewise, Jesus identifying as a "hen gathering her chicks" in Matthew 23 wasn't a gender faux-pas.
Haven't actually tried it, but I've come across https://github.com/abingham/emacs-ycmd before and it looks decent? I also use autocomplete-mode which has a bunch of hooks for pretty much every language under the sun. I have it set up with jedi for python and clang for C/C++/Obj-C.
Backblaze Employee here - this is correct. Pods get powered up, then pummeled with customer data until full. Then they stay spinning forever, but the rate of writes drops to "churn" rates for the rest of the drive's life. This use pattern is all we have experience with, so if your application is different (maybe a database that gets heavy load forever) then your outcomes may vary.

> I think the bigger problem with LED bulbs is that they are so much cheaper to manufacture

Huh? Cheaper compared to what?

Look at this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I0YiXE-gtk It's amazing to me that LED bulbs are priced so inexpensively, considering how complex they are.
And without a government, i.e. without some entity with a monopoly on force, what happens then? Do I have to do battle on the streets every time I buy groceries or go to work?

I guess in the end, democracy or not, you get the government you deserve. Australians voted these guys in, they tolerate their actions, and many Australians will applaud them. If it all goes well, great. If not, I won't have much sympathy for them.

This is not an attitude I like to have, mind you, because I find that wherever I see tyranny in the world, I believe that to some degree - sometimes a lot, sometimes only a little - the victims of that oppression had it coming.
I tried getting into this game early on. One option for players was to submit local landmarks as locations of note for the game. I would photograph and submit whatever landmarks nearby I could find. While waiting some weeks for them to be approved, I noticed one day that a bunch of Zipcar parking spots had suddenly become Ingress hotspots. I was so put off by the obvious advertising ploy that I stopped playing right then, and never touched it again.
No, in SF and other urban areas transit lanes are exclusively for taxis and buses.
Laws can change and will likely have to to cope with the new reality. This is how it starts.

The specifics of the implementation aren't really relevant to anyone but lawyers at this time. The How is less important than the Why.

How questions: Does Netflix have licenses for all possible content? Do they pay it out at per-view level?

Netflix and other online streaming options are replacing traditional broadcasters who were legislated to ensure the continued survival of Canadian content.
Could you elaborate on this in a future lecture? Perhaps a 2x2 of younger vs older founders?

I think the original argument would have stood if the numbers were 20 to 50 years, and anything less than $1/yr or so.
What other choice can religious people make and still remain religious? It can't be the Word of God if it can be disproven, but of course the goalposts of interpretation can always be moved.

I mean, it's no longer dogma that the universe is written on crystal spheres surrounding the perfect sphere of Earth, because it can't be... but Genesis is still vague enough that it can be handwaved to justify anything else science comes up with (until that has to be conceded to as well.)
"It’s the syntactic sugar that makes the syntax modern, not the feature set within Swift itself. A cleaner ObjC could have done the same thing."

I remember when Webb's story came out and the L.A. Times, my hometown paper, scrutinized the story. This was back in 1996 when the LAT had a big investigative staff and was winning prizes at the same rate as the NYT.

The LAT's take on Webb's story was important because South Central LA was an epicenter of the crack wars, and some of the characters in Webb's story were LA dealers.

They basically shot the story down. The recollection of one of the lead LAT reporters rings true:

“As an L.A. Times reporter, we saw this series in the San Jose Mercury News and ... kind of put it under a microscope. And we did it in a way that most of us who were involved in it, I think, would look back on that and say it was overkill. We had this huge team of people at the L.A. Times and kind of piled on to one lone muckraker up in Northern California.”

This reaction to a new story is reminiscent of pg's idea of a "middlebrow dismissal" -- spending much energy poking holes in something new, but not really trying to pursue what's interesting about the new idea.

Edited to add: An excellent summary of this story by veteran LA reporter Marc Cooper, on the occasion of Webb's death: http://www.laweekly.com/2004-12-16/news/gary-webb-rip/
> "Where does the Bible say the Sun was created on the fourth day?"

Genesis 1:14-18.

Of particular interest, the text doesn't actually name "Sun" and "Moon". In stark contrast to the mythologies of many surrounding cultures, they're not treated as though they have any personality or volition. They're just lights; their only significance is that they're bright, and are the most prominent bright objects in the day and the night.

(That may be the most scientifically revolutionary/remarkable thing about Genesis 1 -- it treats the entire physical universe as physical objects. This is also the most theologically revolutionary/remarkable things about Genesis 1 -- it doesn't merely say Elohim is better than the gods of other cultures, it says those gods are actually just plain ol' objects that do what they do because God designed them that way.)
That's a great question, especially in light of the fact that these laws have unanimous support from Labor. My best guess is that intelligence officials are pushing for the laws to make their jobs easier, and the politicians are afraid of ignoring their advice.

While KDB+ is infinitely better for TS data, hiring people who know what they're doing, and buying the physical hardware you need to make it fly isn't what most modern firms are interested in.
If you want to run on the EC2, Redshift is super great. Time/date range queries though, holy shit those suck.
If you want to verify the identity of an individual you know, independent of the control of the state or corporations, then the best option you have today is to use self-signed certificates and exchange their public keys in-person.

I've done this for sharing information between close friends, and the worst part is that browsers react quite badly to self-signed certificates (the problem is really getting worse - they are essentially telling you who to trust to vouch for the identity of others: faceless and essentially state-controlled entities.)

Are there any good pointers to where the amendments have actually expanded surveillance capabilities? I've been going through the amendments and comparing them to the original bill, but so far I'm finding a lot of rewording.

For instance, the definition of computer[1] that is being suggested to allow monitoring of the entire internet is:

computer means all or part of:
(a) one or more computers; or
(b) one or more computer systems; or
(c) one or more computer networks;
(d) any combination of the above.

Whereas the old definition[2] was:

computer means a computer, a computer system or part of a computer system.

Both of these seem equivalent in my eyes. If so, the horse seems to have already bolted years ago.

Frankly I have no idea where to go from here. How does one talk to your local MP when the details of the proposed legislation are so muddy?

Theoretically, couldn't a decentralized ride-sharing system be made sybil attack-proof (or at least robust to it) with a feedback mechanism built on transitive trust?
And to really drive the problem home, distributing binary packages for Linux is a complete nightmare. Linus Torvalds just laid out a whole bunch of the problems at DebConf14.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PmHRSeA2c8

Go watch it. But some of the highlights:

- .deb vs .rpm misses the whole point. The problem is application writers just want to ship an application binary for "Linux", but it is a nightmare.

- Except for the kernel which strives for ABI stability, everything else in the Linux distros constantly break binary compatibility, including the most important library, glibc.

- Package maintainers are forced to use shared libraries for everything, even packages that are unstable and not well used which means apps will break

- You can't install packages under these systems as non-root

- He ships binaries for his SCUBA diving app for Windows and OS X. He only ships source for Linux. That's sad.

As somebody who has to ship binaries for multiple platforms, including Linux, I agree it is sad, and I often have to do the rough equivalent of static linking. (I dynamically link and ship copies of the libraries.) This also allows my users to install without root access. But whenever I'm asked to look at using a native packager, I made to cry trying to figure out all the idiosyncrasies of each packaging system, and then all the variations between each distro release. (Fedora vs Debian vs Ubuntu, and 12.04 LTS is different than 13.10 and 14.04.)

As far as Apple development tools go. Heard of clang and llvm? A lot of Linux users have.
As someone interested in science, I was really excited to read the headline and see the HN discussion. As a Christian I was surprised and kind of creeped out to see the "so much for the Bible" talk. I feel like a Japanese person must feel when an American tries to get them to laugh at jokes. But I guess in a way it's nice though that nobody ever brings up the sort of beyond-Religion-101 topics that actually challenge my faith.

Edit: Why all the downvotes? I'm saying I'd prefer we let science be science, without the didactic religion talk, pro or con.

CentOS announces second patch for bash security issue CVE-2014-7169
"The truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense."

Don't forget to update any Docker instances of OS's. My brother just challenged me and I'd assumed my Docker Ubuntu instances would be updated automatically by updating the main Ubuntu OS but that was not the case. In my defense I'm still new to Docker.

I also used this to list my containers:

docker ps -la -n=100

And removed them all, then listed images:

docker images

And removed them and then ran this to get the latest ubuntu installed from docker:

docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash

Then when inside the container ran:

env X="() { :;} ; echo busted" `which bash` -c "echo completed"

The new docker image of ubuntu is still vulnerable.

Edit: Updating the container then committing it (Docker terminology) should ensure that container stays updated, though any new runs creating new containers would continue to be vulnerable I suspect until Docker patches them or whomever would be responsible to do so.
Does anyone know how widespread and available the ability is to disable vehicles via OnStar? I heard today that a woman in Missouri had her 2005 Dodge disabled (by a lending institution) for allegedly being 1 day overdue on a car payment. Like, does it go on in all parts of north America, and would it be available for just charter banks, or any joe schmoe money lender? Would anyone also know if there are systems other than OnStar, that will allow tracking/disabling of a given vehicle?

Serious servers use ECC RAM so bit-flips in memory are not an issue. CRC32 is also pretty robust against single-bit errors. If you think about it, you can't really make any guarantees for non-ECC systems. Flip the wrong bit, and the kernel will delete all your data. There is an if statement somewhere waiting to make this happen, and if the program code can randomly change, eventually it will.

Typical disk corruption patterns are a whole sector of zeroes being read, or reading data that belonged somewhere else. If you want to prove that ZFS's checksum is better, you need to prove that it's better against the patterns of corruption that actually occur.
As for patent grants, you are thinking of the GPLv3. The GPLv2 does not provide any patent grant.

It's not setting arbitrary environment variables, it's setting specific ones. Bash is basically calling eval on the list of envvars without re-escaping the values.

The people who wrote the CGI spec didn't expect that to happen at startup.

csh and zsh don't do it, and I can't think of any reason why someone would want that.

CGI was always a kludge, and envvars weren't a great choice, but they were presumed to be safe for arbitrary data.
As someone who lives in Shanghai, this is an interesting look at how it works. However, as an expat who can't speak Chinese yet, this website is one of the larger sources of my frustration.

Need something simple and don't know where to get it? If you ask anybody, the only answer you ever get is "TaoBao."

The issue is the way their page is coded, it's immune to machine translation. Images have critical text that isn't translated and often the page loads elements after translation has finished, leaving just enough Chinese to prevent a foreigner from using the page. I've set aside an hour before to make an account but I could not complete the task.

I wonder how much effort it would be to keep their site the way it is, but smooth out the experience just enough to allow machine translation.

AFAIK, Google are not selling advertising in ingress like that, so I think you're making bad assumptions. That doesn't leave out people spamming/gaming the system just like blackhat SEOs try to game Google search. I don't think the Ingress people really have the resources to curate all portal submissions.

It also could be to bootstrap the system, they just points of interest or business entries from Google Map's database. Otherwise, the game would be boring for most people with no portals nearby to play with.

Actually, the naming/anthropomorphized nature of the sun and the noon--among many other abstract concepts--is still a topic of rich debate. While the English disambiguates this, the original text may not. Many things that are translated in the bible as abstract concepts actually make more sense when translated as the name of a god (with the same name in an ancient Semitic landside add the concept). Check out Robert Wright's Evolution of God for better examples
