We've also had some reboots in our server fleet. Problem is their e-mail is send in such a short notice we cannot anticipate the problem.

We've had servers in LInode without any issue for almost a yer, but this hardware related reboots have started to become a real problem for us in the last frew weeks.

This is for me a clear no-no regarding choosing Linode as a production platform for some of our clients. They better get their act together, as one can envision a lot of users migrating to the likes of AWS or Digital Ocean.
No abort options were available while the solid rocket boosters were burning, as they were in Challenger's case. (I agree, though, that a failure during SRB firing doesn't really count as "cleanly" avoiding demonstrating RTLS.)
To contrast with what the OP said, I found Angular pretty cool at the beginning but got more and more annoyed as I progressed. If you're okay with interacting with a black box, go for it otherwise choose react.

Not entirely unrelated. Exhaust catalysts are easily "poisoned," by lead among other things. Leaded gasoline would do it, so modern catalysts would never have been fitted to cars permitted to run leaded gasoline (very relevant during the time when both leaded and unleaded were available). Or put another way, the "unleaded only" signs you see on some older cars was not because the cars wouldn't run, but because running leaded gasoline would quickly degrade the emissions control equipment (oxygen sensors and catalysts primarily)
You can do that with Bluetooth. And since Android 4.0, you can use NFC to automatically pair two phones, and then share between them through Bluetooth. It's called "Android Beam". Samsung modified this technology to work with Wi-Fi, too, and I think you could already do that before with "Wi-Fi Direct", you just had to pair them manually.

I haven't looked into 3rd party apps, but I imagine they could use the same protocols as Firechat for file sharing. But I think on Android it would only work through Bluetooth anyway. Google needs to mandate all OEMs to use Wi-Fi Direct otherwise.
Tee blurry image is nice teaser :)
Just as a point of interest: in these cases, (0, ..) would also work, where .. means “any number of elements”.
To be clear, I don't believe this currently outbreak of Ebola is going to infect everyone, and I do believe it will pass. I'm just saying that there could very well be a pandemic some time in the future that does take a massive toll on the human population. The reason I say that is because it has happened many times in the past, even within the 20th century.
...and then it takes Berlin?

Yes, though I expect it's 3% by mass, so for 1kg of soil you get 30g of lead (30000ppm).

For reference, uncontaminated natural soil averages 10ppm.
There is a massive number of trackers besides TPB, including ones related to open source projects or other software distribution.

For that matter, even Twitter adapted torrent technology to distribute binaries to servers at a datacenter.
`..` doesn't work with tuples (yet?).
That is direct contact. Their fluid, under any circumstances, on a surface or not, be it their skin shaking hands, a Door handle after with viral load from their sweat, or them coughing up or sneezing out blood droplets . These are all "direct contact with bodily fluids"

Please note, that last example is not the same as sneezing spreading the flu. The flu will remain "airborne" for a period while the droplets of blood don't remain airborne, sure sneeze droplets can get some impressive travel but it's not the same issue, the virus is in the fluid. Medical rules for the appropriate protective gear boil down to "cover all skin" and either "filter breathing intake" or "closed circuit air if possible" ... None of these require a full airtight, spacesuit style seal around the body which is what is needed to protect from a truly airborne disease.

The flu gets a lot of its infectious capability from infecting our respiratory tract. Ebola... Not so much, sure it's damn infectious, but picture a "zone of infectious reach" the flu might get to you at 50 feet, Ebola will get you at 10 only in the worst cases, it's usually more like 5 or less.
I see that several suggestions involve using the Bitcoin blockchain to provide a fixed time delay. (Since blocks are given a varying difficulty so that only 'x' coins are produced an hour.)

However, IMO a much more interesting idea is the reverse of this: use time-lock encryption in bitcoin itself. If we can decide upon a non cpu-bound mechanism (and non memory-bound) then suddenly bitcoin can be billions of times more efficient. We wouldn't need thousands of miners constantly hashing the blockchain to solve an arbitrarily complex problem. Instead, the time lock can be used to ensure only 'n' Bitcoin are mined per hour, just like now.

This would save all the wasted CPU time (and considerable power costs) that Bitcoin currently relies upon.
The real answer is that size is a trade off. If you make entities too big you get all the problems of a monopoly, single point of failure, monoculture, etc. If you make entities too small you start having problems coordinating and knowing who to trust.

What you want is something in the middle. Email is a good example.
Whoops! I mean: that it's not cut and dried.
One of the best pieces of advice I know of regarding diet, involves simply never bringing unhealthy foods into the home. Stop buying it, stop keeping it available in your space. That change significantly increases the effort required to eat unhealthy. Persistent environmental temptation is just setting yourself up for eventual failure, it's an absurd form of self-sabotage.
Which is also why, I think, the F1 games that are out there are severely lacking.

Especially all the circus around the race seems to be an afterthought at best.
What I want to be able to experience in such a game/simulation is not just the race itself, but also the things that go on besides the track.

I want to be able to drive out of the box, through the pit, minding the speedlimit and then enter the track to set a time. Simply seeing my car be driven onto the track or even worse just flat out starting on the track takes away the immersion.

Also, after the race on the podium, I'd love be able to experience this as well but the games nowadays deem it enough to simply show the end result, maybe a shot of the people of the podium and that's it.

I think simulations like this one mentioned in the article is an important part if you want to personally immerse yourself in racing, but a lot of the entertainment for the user also comes from the surrounding circus.

I'd love to see a game incorporate all of this. Especially seeing as non of this is too far out or technically not possible. It is just a matter of having or not having it in the game.
Standard JVM, slightly smaller, much faster. This is comparing to Java 1.2 before JIT/Hotspot and a decade of performance work. (Also I doubt anyone had 7.7 years of experience with Java in 2000, so that would be general)

If we consider JavaCard or Java ME a java dialect then yes, it has gotten a lot smaller! I think neither of these where available in 2000.

Running Java also does not need a JVM. There are AOT compilers for JAVA. Like Lisp there are a lot of different implementations with lots of differing trade offs.

In any case a very flawed comparison, like all programming languages comparison of this kind as it is so hard/expensive to do it correct.

But an interesting read anyway.

I think of languages as equivalent (they are all turing complete right) so something buildable in one must be buildable in the other. The question is what tradeoffs do the languages make for the humans in the loop.

Lisp and Java make different tradeoffs there, and C makes yet another set of tradeoffs. And which languages we use is more often dependant on historical accidents than technical excellence (like most human languages) see JS as an example.

I believe dynamic languages are better for small teams and short project life times. I believe automatic memory management by default languages are better for the vast majority of projects than manual memory management options.
I think a written language like Traditional Chinese (Java) is better for running an empire than one like Latin (Lisp). But a more modern idea like Hangul (Clojure?) might do even better.

In the end to get the best CPU performance one needs to know the CPU and architecture as well as an ability to think in bits. And like in human language one can write poetry in all of them, its just a bit more difficult than the office memo's we tend to write and read in our jobs ;)

> I don't know about you, but I personally am not in the habit of exchanging bodily fluids with random strangers in crowded places

Are you sure? What about touching the same doorknobs or handles in trains as other person? Are you always wearing sterile gloves and always wash your hands (with a foot-operated faucet) before scratching your face when it itches?

If not, you are exchanging bodily fluids with random strangers much more often than you think.
It doesn't work without a token (apparently it did some time ago http://blog.makensi.es/post/3679713636/fingerprinting-your-v... )

You can get a token from Linkedin itself.
nice one indeed !!!
You get sent an OTP that expires after half an hour. So in order to attack someone, you need to gain access to your victim's e-mail account beforehand. Which is quite hard if if the victim has MFA activated.

If you gain access to your victim's e-mail account, even if you find any passwords in there, you cannot use any of them because they are not working anymore.

So it's not only a stronger, non-recycled password. It's:

1. an OTP

2. that expires very soon

3. that cannot be recycled

4. in a place that's likely to be well-protected

EDIT: 5. that place (#4) is in widespread use

This is beyond a "password manager" which barely covers #3 (it incentivizes not to recycle) – and maybe #4, if you're careful.
Bear in mind that Rust's APIs still have a lot of work remaining in their ergonomics, and this is likely what slows down the daily grind the most.
I agree that the current Formula E pit stops look absolutely silly; however, considering that refueling has been allowed in some F1 seasons, would you accept a battery-swap style pit stop?
They have chosen ignorance
Incorrect. It has an incubation period of 8-10 days, and as little as 2 and up to 21 days. There is about a 1 week window to identify anyone they might have exchanged bodily fluids with. Bodily fluids include sweat in this case, as well as tear drops, urine, etc. Any clothing or bedsheets, for example, that came in contact with these bodily fluids can also transmit the disease.

And as to the quarantine protocol, you have missed my point. My point is people with symptoms will be scared to be admitted into a hospital because they don't want to be quarantined next to someone who has Ebola, single patient room be damned. Instead they'll take all this nonsense about how it's hard to get Ebola and rationalize to themselves that they don't actually have it, so why bother getting locked up with people who actually have it.

But well, not on Tiobe top slot.
If I had a spare billion bucks laying around when the shuttle program ended, I thought it would been fun to actually try out an RTLS. Tie up the necessary loose ends on the autopilot, stack up an empty shuttle, invite a lot of people, and let it go. No real use to it, but it would have been a great "Hey y'all, watch this" moment.
Ditto. If JVM is good enough for, say, Twitter, it's sure that performance of Java programs got better and that "Run time" and "Final image size" from Figure 1 in OP pdf would look different. OTOH I'm not in the Lisp land but I guess there was probably some improvement there too.
They aren't connected.

For example, car systems use real-time micro kernel and systems only talk via the network with something like CAN bus.

This already provides some isolation.

Then you have MISRA for C and C++ code, High Integrity C++, Ada and Ada SPARK, and code generation based on formal methods. This coupled with static code analysis and rigorous certification processes that all of these systems are being used as they should.

You can get an idea of these issues are discussed from the
High Integrity Software conference programme.

You got a point. However, calling somebody's creation a "piece of crap" is not very forthcoming, specially when you are not even sure about your own point : "It even PROBABLY has SQL..."

You seem to have just created this account to put this unsolicited comment (23 hours ago, really?).

I'm curious why some people think that something like this would even be possible in principle.

My first intuition was that this is impossible (at least not with math alone). I have no (proper) proof however.

Ultimately anything could be infinitely parallelized, by brute-forcing the answer itself. If we put the answer safely out of reach for brue forcing, then all that remains is a number of methods of actually calculating it. Those methods can either be arduous but applicable by everyone or fast but requiring some pre-known secret.

For a puzzle that could be solvable by more than one ardous method, it is to be expected that ultimately everyone would be using the fastest one of those - i.e. the author and the public alike, since the methods would be applicable by everyone.

For a puzzle that would be solvable by a fast method requiring some secret, the solution would always be brute-forcable on that secret, and thus have a wide timesrange in which it could be solved, depending on the level of parallelism.

The only way out I see here is to construct a puzzle with more than one arduous method - one of them obviously faster than the other, but only publish one of the methods and use the other one yourself to calculate the time-locked data. This may or may not be possible - but I don't think it's something that can be automated, since it requires creative input, considering how a new kind of puzzle would need to be created for every new piece (or at least every new author) of time-locked data, since otherwise the less-arduous methods would become public knowledge too.
(And of course there's always the risk of there being other smart people searching for and eventually discorvering that other less-arduous method, before the desired timespan has elapsed.)

I think that special symbol syntax is nice, since it has additional semantic meaning in the form of "this data type here is used to represent a flag, not a piece of text".

Granted, Ruby's use of symbols is not as pretty as other languages...
Point-to-point 1Gbit microwave equipment from Ubiquiti is within the price range of an avid consumer - about the same cost as a nice, but hobbyist grade 3D printer.

It's likely that anyone who wanted to operate a major server would be tied in to the network by one or two 1+gbps links, and probably colocating with other servers, allowing them to share the overhead of this, and have several connections operating to the network in parallel, lowering the stress on any one route.

Similarly, a lot of traffic is aggressively cached now to mitigate the need to hit the server with an identical request. There's no reason to think that certain kinds of content wouldn't be cached at various points in the mesh, making the total traffic to any particular server lower still.

A realistic scenario for a datacenter is that 50-100 people split the cost of having 10 1+gbps links to the network, hitting it at multiple points well spread in the network. The inside of the data center would do some routing to handle the load balancing. I expect the total cost of that would be about $35k to set up, but splitting it between that many people, each person is paying (on average, for 50 to 100 people) between $350 and $700 - well within a reasonable amount for a coop to set up a datacenter. Further, $35k is a small enough price tag that it would be acceptable for a business (or a couple businesses) to share such a datacenter themselves, if there were a particular incentive for them to operate as part of a community mesh, rather than with the current internet.

Fellow scannercam hobbyist checking in! Did you also discover the trick of taking "HDR" photographs by setting the software to do a "colour" scan with every colour channel set to a different exposure?

Anyway, in my case the hobby led me down the rabbit hole of slitscanning and other spacetime-warping artworks, such as Bill Spinhoven's "It's About Time" (who was one of my tutors in art school, and AFAIK was the first artist to do this in a real-time installation)

These day's it's quite easy to do with software. Here's a test of one of my own prototypes made with Processing:

> The european union (EU) banned lead gasoline in 2000 (~ 2005 "lead free"), USA already in 1978.

These dates are to completely different events.

The US started phasing out leaded gas in the mid-70s (the EPA announced its first regs in 1975, effective 1978) but didn't complete the phaseout until 1996.

The EU did start and complete its phaseout later (starting in 1981, in part because of the resistance of some members e.g. France) but a few member states did so much earlier (Germany started phasing out leaded in 1972 and had completed its phaseout by 1988).

Yes.

C, Ada, Modula-2, Oberon, Forth, Basic, UCSD Pascal, Smalltalk, Mesa/Cedar all had their own full stack.

C just got luckier.
Beyond the sibling comments about the flux being the nasty part of solder, and the part in solder fumes that are hard to avoid breathing at least a bit of when soldering, eutectic leaded solder is soo much nicer to use than the lead-free stuff. It melts at a lower temperature, and melts/hardens all at once, making it dramatically easier to avoid bad solder joints. In particular, lead-free solder will really make you despise a cheap soldering iron.

But yeah, be careful and don’t eat solder flakes, and wash hands after soldering.

Many of the sites that used to get posted there were doing so in a last desperate effort to gain clients and become profitable.

That meant sites would get listed, get clients, then fold.

If price is your sole concern, and you can (re)deploy quickly, easily, and have good monitoring in place, then it was a reasonable place to go. If not you'd be better picking a reliable brand with history.
You can write Ruby in this fashion as well.

def fizzbuzz x
case [x % 3 == 0, x % 5 == 0]
when [true, false] then puts "fizz"
when [false, true] then puts "buzz"
when [true, true] then puts "fizzbuzz"
else puts x
end
end

The one and only time I was asked FizzBuzz in an interview, I wrote it this way, so it's not all that contrived (in my opinion, anyway!)
