> Aren't NASA-level standards historically slow and inefficient?

I've seen nothing that tells me that this reputation is anything more than 1) the bureaucracy inherent to any large organization, 2) requirements of very complex, cutting edge engineering and science, 3) requirements of engineering systems that must work perfectly the first time (unlike Facebook, NASA can't 'move fast and break things'), and perhaps most of all 4) the public's habit of attributing characteristics to 'the old established thing' (NASA) and to the 'new shiny thing' (SpaceX, etc.)

Name every place in the solar system where NASA missions currently are located. Outside the solar system? Where they have gone historically? Their achievements are staggering; history-making events are routine; they are by far the greatest explorers in the history of humanity. Certainly they aren't perfect and every organization can improve, but they do pretty well.

> I was of the impression that private parties streamlining that process and coming up with a cheaper program is what led to NASA (or congress by proxy, whatever) abandoning manned spaceflight to the private sector.

Manned spaceflight hasn't been delegated to the private sector, only flying to Earth orbit (or only low-Earth orbit?). NASA has been doing it for 50 years; the technology is mature enough that private companies can do it and NASA can invest its resources in bigger challenges, including a manned mission to Mars (in the long term).

Absolutely true. The time lapse is only to allow the user to inspect the drive before it is allowed to execute arbitrarily. That may not actually be possible now that I think about it, so the idea is bunked anyway.
It still surprises me that US government hasn't gone the same way as Canada and the UK and opened the lines up to competition. By forcing ISPs to offer up their "last mile" lines to competitors at reasonable prices, I've seen prices and plans get a lot better where I live over the last few years.

Well, that's the thing - they are not providing packet traces even though they were doing a forensic investigation, putting their methodology into doubt. Also, there are no logs indicating that they were successful in what they were trying to do. Even if they were successful, they said that "headers of some of the packets"..." as the source" contained the ip of the server. If it was coming from the TOR network, that would not be the case. Furthermore, since HTTP is a request and response protocol, a request would first have to have been made to the host. A reply would not come without first making the request. That being said, supposedly it was the captcha box. However, that server was only setup to reply to 127.0.0.1 and the backend server. There's no way they would have gotten access to it from the regular web without going through tor, by the methods they describe. You can see the last date the files were modified, and since the "investigator" told what time they accessed the server, we can see that the server was configured not to allow access except through tor. Since he had made a log of ip leaks, I'm pretty sure the guy was on top of security issues, as this is not something he'd overlook.

If your namespaces are more than three segments deep then I believe you may be doing it wrong. This is nothing implicit to the way namespaces work in PHP, it's just bad design. Most Composer packages i've seen only go as deep as vendor\package\whatever anyway. That's not difficult.

Hey! I'm Nate, one of the founders of Lever and our CTO. Sourcing is a word that companies and recruiters use to mean going out and finding candidates that aren't looking for a job (passive), but that have a really high relevance to what the company is looking for.

As hiring has gotten increasingly competitive, companies have been finding that the best candidates usually come from a personal connection. The best candidates usually come via a referral from someone's personal network or via sourcing efforts, where the company goes out and finds people that are a really strong fit based on their interests and experience.

Lever has a number of features that specifically make sourcing easier: https://lever.co/features.html. The best is our Chrome Extension for easily creating candidates in Lever from a web profile. We also have really great 2-way email sync that uses IMAP to sync Gmail threads in realtime, so that your company can follow along on what is happening with candidates and make sure that you don't drop the ball.

in the access logs showing the date and time of law enforcement access to the .49 server.

Unless I missed something, this is the only point in the document where the defense suggests that they couldn't find the log lines provided by the FBI. It seems like a weak claim, since they could have said "could not locate" or "could not find", and suggests that there could have been multiple non-.onion or non-frontend accesses to the frontend and backend servers respectively. Surely the expert would know to 'grep -v', and that should make it easy to determine any access that came from other than the prescribed addresses. This suggests that the logs contradict the claims of inaccessibility.
I was thinking along these lines as well. I suppose the difference is that these are QR codes that "broadcast" themselves to whoever wants to listen?

You could just make it an HTML meta tag which specifies trusted keys. And add an attribute to the script tag which contains the signature.

Might need to disable inline JavaScript, though. And double-check that meta tags are only meaningful when located in their proper place in the head tag.

I don't like the HTTP header idea, 'cause it precludes static content unless you modify the web server. And I don't like external files which are automatically read by the browser because then you run into namespace problems. Keeping everything in the HTML document provides tidy isolation.

That is a clarification [1] to the standard, to make it legal to avoid or fuse memory allocations if the compiler can prove it's OK. For example,

int f() {
int * x = new int(0);
return *x;
}

does not really need to allocate memory, and so that `new` is now explicitly allowed not to. Similarly,

int f() {
int * x = new int(0);
int * y = new int(1);
return *x + *y;
}

Here the standard allows not only to elide both allocations, but also to fuse them into a single (faster) allocation.

I've not been following this closely, so the following question is based just on the above. How do we know that the configuration files that we have now (the ones that would make it impossible to show the login screen to an ordinary browser) were the ones in place at the time Tarbell claims to have seen the login screen via an ordinary browser?

Opinion: Anyone who pays attention to international affairs knows that the US has been seeking a rapprochement with India

Unconvincing evidence: The President met with the President of India. Mr. Obama also met with the mayor of Gary, Indiana yesterday.

It is easy to acquire incomplete current affairs knowledge.

You are attributing the United States motivation to counter China to claims to the South China sea. I can think of dozens of other sources of friction between these countries that also contribute: human rights, intellectual property protection, hacking of US government computers, hacking of US corporation computers, influence in SE Asia, influence in Africa, claims in the East China sea, support of North Korea, support of Iran, support of Assad, climate policy, trade imbalance, nuclear proliferation, etc.

But, some claims in the South East China sea are the reason the US is partnering with India on the space program? Not supported by facts.

Technology has historically confined us to communications = telecom, but really telecom is just a branch of comms, and a branch that is best for a very specific set of use cases.

WebRTC enables communications as a feature - a very different set of use cases. Use cases that are directly embedded in other applications and workflows.

Also, by publishing the APIs, and baking much of the technology into the browsers (regardless if it is WebRTC, ORTC, etc.), WebRTC helps democratize communications service development by lowering the barrier to entry and the cost of development. This will help lead to comms apps we haven't even thought of yet, or don't yet have a reason to exist.

OpenWrt “BarrierBreaker” 14.07 Released
Thanks donall! Yes, these are not cheap frames or Ikea offerings. They are what you would get from a high-end custom frame shop. I'm able to bring the prices down by going direct, removing the need to handle the artwork (you do that part, but it's not hard) and eliminating the retail overhead.
I only skimmed it, but I didn't see anyone in there who took years. They were all on the order of months. Entirely possible I missed it.

That said, adding networked multiplayer to a game is very difficult. But designing a game around networked multiplayer is not nearly as hard. Single player or local only multiplayer games can get away with lots of assumptions that completely break multiplayer, and detangling all of those assumptions is the most time consuming part of converting a game. If you do it "right" from the start, you don't ever allow yourself to make any of those assumptions and everything just works. If you know you're going to build a multiplayer game, then write it as a client server architecture from day one even if you know you're not going to play with other people for the first several months of development. Future you will thank present you.

It's very important to realize that declarations are almost always written by an attorney, even if they purport to be written by an expert.

I have been thinking about creating an active "USB Condom" for a while, and this might be the right time to work on it. It would be pretty straight forward to make a device that sits between a PC and a USB device and monitors the traffic. It could allow only certain device classes, or it could ask you to press a button for each file moved. My original thought was to stop the spread of viruses that are designed to move between computers over USB drives (my last job had a lot of trouble with these), but preventing it from showing up as a HID would also be useful in this case.

One option would be to build this into the chassis of a PC so that you know anything plugged into the green USB port will only work as a drive.

Not necessarily. Would you properly fund EverPix or TextSecure, or would you worry about them sticking to their principles too much and avoiding potential profit opportunities?
For hobby projects and MVPs, it's certainly fast to get running.

Managing replication and scaling can be time-consuming and expensive compared to other NoSQL stores like Redis and Couch.

So for production on serious projects, I would choose another DB before migration becomes expensive.
> There is nothing modern about the new features of C++11/14

There's nothing modern about any feature that's been introduced into a popular programming language in years. They're all rediscoveries or minor iterations on things invented decades ago.

It's usually not the features that are described as being "modern," though. It's the style that's described that way, and there is a marked difference between the style of, well, modern C++ code and the style of C++ code written in the '90s.
Best of luck with your business, but I believe you've been misled about that "only needing one database server" bit. MongoDB makes replication easy (though not necessarily reliable), but its structure all but ensures that you will need to take advantage of that replication far earlier than you would have had you gone with a traditional database.

For example, my employer's production stack requires three Mongo servers. Stack Overflow, which has a much greater volume of data and gets far more traffic, uses MSSQL and consequently only needs one server.
Unplug the broken one first, so that when you plug the new one in the OS knows that it doesn't make sense to display a prompt because there's no keyboard to confirm it with? You'd probably want to do that anyway if you'd spilt coffee on it.

> "We had to sweat every byte ... 28.8 baud modem."

Yeah, that stuff really mattered in that era. Nowadays we've eliminated a lot of the compression and upped the packet rate -- a modern "bad" connection can handle 8 players at 10 pps without compression, and the accuracy is necessary with pilots who dodge as well as some of the modern masters.

> "if the 'master' dropped out the game another player would become the master"

We'd love to reimplement that. It was such a great feature! It was removed when one of the previous coders overhauled the networking code.

Yeah. It was a fun game in its own right, but it really shifts the emphasis from dodging to aiming. It didn't play as well in a 1v1 setting, but had some really compelling team modes. I played CTF every night from about 2004 to when my son was born in 2009.

Here's my theory on MongoDB, having spent a lot of time thinking about it:

There is going to be some huge number of new developers every year for the foreseeable future, and Mongo is the lowest barrier to entry database available. These people don't know SQL and don't care that "Postgres is better". Mongo does a few useful things really well, and everything else (like sharding) is a moat around that core value proposition, which is why Mongo gets away with being bad at a lot of stuff.

Mongo is good at:

* Starting up (when you download it, you literally just get a mongod binary).

* Inserting JSON documents.

* Indexing those JSON documents.

* Composing queries programmatically (because they're JSON documents).

* Replication (oddly).

Mongo is bad at:

* Analytical queries. I've literally written a book about Mongo and still can't remember most query syntax.

* Efficient data storage - documents take a huge amount of space.

* Scaling.

* Sharding - this feature has always been half-baked.

* A lot of other stuff.

Your immediate inclination is probably to say something like "but look at (Couchbase|MySQL|Cassandra|Rethink|Postgres), its so much better written and it does (document storage|relational querying|scaling|sharding|json documents now in version 9.4!!!!!) so much better". Again, thats not the point, the lesson here is that MongoDB is a thing because barrier to entry is a better feature for many users.
I apologize for that comment, it was unnecessarily brusque and actually uninformed. I think it's fine to depend on "use strict"; in Chrome.

Great feedback. Right now you can contact me directly with that (I try to mention it in the FAQ and tool tips), but have not built the feature to directly specify. Thought it would be easiest for most customers to measure their prints/posters and supply that one set of dimensions. Would love the opportunity to frame something for you!
