But autotools/autoconf solve a whole set of different cross-platform problems to "make runs and does things". The make syntax doesn't change across platforms; nor does the sh syntax. What you execute might change, but I'm not sure that's too much of a problem for the usual web pipeline use case.

For all of the issues I have been facing, most of them were actually triggered by virtualbox. Those issues can be quite annoying but can be solved quite easily if you don't have other VB VMs. Usually, resetting the vbox subnets (I had major issues with those) does the job. On the other side, Vagrant has got some minor issues but let's face it: doing what Vagrant does manually is huge and I prefer composing with those issues than being on my own. When VB works well and don't cause any problem, you can do quite complex setups with Vagrant. I already created a swarm of 5 VMs on my machine to test my deployments locally: Vagrant may not be imperatively useful for developers but I think it's essential for everyone working on deployment and having the devs using it too can greatly improve the life of those deploying the apps. One last point: Vagrant is not made for production and I think Hashicorp has been pretty clear on that. I never tested packer/terraform or consul so I won't say anything on the production-side of what they're doing but I won't judge it until I actually used it. Vagrant may have evolved since the last time you used it, you should give it another chance !
Downvoted for saying "vast majority" instead of ALL? Sigh.

For ALL the listeners in this specific test? Yes, almost certainly. Naturally, just randomly picking a song, even one that subjectively sounds really good, and listening to 16-bit or 24-bit versions of it at moderate volume in a typical room will absolutely prevent anyone from choosing correctly with any statistical significance. The OP's test was doomed to fail from the outset.

That doesn't mean it's impossible to detect any difference under any circumstances.

Yes. It sounds very much like you want to checkout Acme (and Plan 9). You can test Acme on other operating systems to get an idea. On Linux (or Mac I think), you can even mount the file system using fuse, or access it using a special program called 9p.

First of all, not all are terrorists, including by the torturers' own admission.

Second, the idea that terrorists (especially as arbitrarily defined, without trial and due process, for years on end) should be tortured is still problematic.

Third, yes they are out of whack. The decent human priorities would be to have the same sympathies for all victims, and the same demand for human rights to be applied in both cases.

> speakers, they also vary on those audible frequencies, but after you are past $150 per speaker you are only dealing with quality after very loud volumes.

This is simply not true, and you could determine that for yourself easily if you wanted to. There are many, many factors that affect how a loudspeaker sounds besides how loudly it's playing. $150 speakers are much better today than they were say 30 or 40 years ago, but they're still full of design compromises.

Any number of things can out you as a fake. Whether or not the request's Accept-Encoding has sdch, can help you figure out if something's Chrome.

You can also abuse parsing quirks to figure out which rendering engine's being used, or just try to use request-generating features that shouldn't be present in whatever browser you're saying you are (<svg>, <video>, styling on engine-specific psuedoelements, etc.)

Here's an example[1] using just HTML+CSS that will request a different image depending on whether you use a webkit or gecko derivative. If you use neither, no image will be requested. Someone who says they're Chrome but requests Firefox's image is immediately outed as a liar.

Same thing given something like `<img src="jar:http://example.com/ewwww_jar_uri!/baz">`. Gecko will make a request to http://example.com/ewwww_jar_uri while other browsers won't since they don't support the jar URI.

I believe Mario Heiderich also posted some stuff using webkit's styleable scrollbars that could be used for fingerprinting screen sizes and how large certain elements are when rendered.

The list goes on, but my point is that fingerprinting at the rendering / layout engine level is trivial, so you're better off being legitimately ordinary if you're worried about fingerprinting.

'Small, non-representive samples'? Maybe, (I am in position to judge) but looking through some of the published scholarly papers relating to this subject and from what you've said, it looks as if the peer-review folk who've approved a fair number of scholarly papers providing substance for Watson's ill-advised comments have done a lousy job in not pointing this out. Certainly for whatever reason be it environmental, genetic or simply a matter of inappropriate tests, the data indicates a consistent pattern. According to you, this is poor science. Please provide the evidence and note that I am not saying it does not exist! You may be right for all I know.

Interesting first comment.
Well, you can say that "the prosecutor said this and the defendant counsel said this", but at the end of the day we know that the four operators of the site were convicted by Stockholm district court on 17 April 2009 and sentenced to one year in jail each and a total of 30 million Swedish kronor (approximately US$3.5 million, €2.7 million) in fines and damages.

So I guess the court believed the prosecutor.
Well that isn't necessarily true. If you're deploying new code then you need to update the web server to point a new directory then that process needs restarting (or at least soft-restarting).

If you're redeploying into the same directory then you should be at the very least clearing the opcache so that old code lingering around in memory isn't served up.
I'd gamble it's because they're less into bragging about how much money they spent on audio equipment / dick measuring. But that's just my cynical point of view. I'm sure the distribution between men and women that can appreciate good music (and good music equipment) is much less skewed than men/women in tech; it's just the public part where they're not represented as much.
hey, I am the author of the 90MB archive.

I had to do it manually, it was in no way done by TPB, it took a looong time because their anti-DDoS systems were blocking me, and it was in no way open source. (it was endorsed by TPB though, in the way they told me they like it)

And I stopped updating it in early 2013.

I thought about updating it regularly and putting it somewhere, but that stroke me as slightly more illegal than what I did before, plus I had other priorities (mainly finishing the damn school).

I wished TPB did something like wikipedia (daily XML archives), but they don't.

>Keeping in mind that we disagree as to how many, if any, of the detainees were "totally innocent" (as opposed to procedurally innocent), are you really going to compare our treatment of terrorists to the Germans' treatment of jewish civilians?

Absolutely. Abduction, held without trial, dehumanizing conditions, torture, etc.

Does your outrage about the jewish civilians only begin at the point were they burned them too?

Second, there are three levels of evil here, even if you disagree about "how many were totally innocent".

1) Some of them being totally innocent without dispute (for example those that were even released as such - in one case I read about after 7 years (!), and others for which they admitted they knew it for the start but used them as leverage, etc).

2) Even for the guilty, there should be no inprisoment without due process and fair trial.

3) Even for proven guilty, there should be no torture.

I don't consider anyone who does not agree on (2) and (3), basic tennets of human rights in the civilized world, anything more progressed than a KKK member lynching blacks back in the day...
Interesting. How does it work?

He even said in the prior sentence "This is about one company thinking it's above the law". Again, implying that Lyft are following the spirit of the law as well as the letter, and Uber are following the letter and not the spirit (and thus working as many loopholes...

By definition, the codified will of the people is the letter of the law. The "spirit of the law" is what politicians kind of want to happen, but never actually passed a law for.

Btw, can someone explain to me how they can have ads?

I mean, if US is willing to go far enough that they seem to have obvious influence on other countries and these countries punish these individuals, when normally they don't(or so I think), surely they very interested in taking down TPB or finding out who runs it?

And they had ads when there were no bitcoin etc.

So what I'm wondering is that, if I were interested in putting my ads on TPB, I would have to put/give money to somewhere/someone.

So if I'm working at NSA, why I don't just go to tpb, look at what companies they advertise on tpb, then look at where that companies sent their money. Surely we are not talking about $10-15 here, at some point they should see "yeaah, you guys seem to give these guys $xxxx(more x?) each month" or "$xxxxx once, why?"

To transfer that amount of money I can send via my bank, or transfer it via my personal account. I can use several layers inbetween, and use other people also. Maybe I won't even take money from company but do it personally. I can make it incredibly hard to be found.

But looking at how TOR services seem to go down and the lengths they go to make sure they don't stay alive, surely if NSA actually wanted they could track them down? Surely NSA doesn't lack the power to see our transactions and surely they don't lack the power to personally track basically everyone related with whoever gave the ads. Or maybe they do, but they still know what companies TPB advertises.

Anyway, if they are not very careful, I could find who currently runs TPB. and if they are, I still might have a shot.

Or maybe I'm not interested in finding out who runs TPB, just taking or down/making it harder. Why I(government) don't go to these porn sites and say "well, if we keep seeing your ads there we will have to do something". They did threaten yahoo and others without legal basis(or so I think), why stop now?

Then considering they can't easily find new companies to take ads from considering what happened to the first 3 companies that gave ads, no one sane would want to work with tpb, and they couldn't buy or maintain servers, then finally in current form they would go down.

Of course some methods to keep it alive(fake ads, donations etc.) will be found, and of course someone else will just create a new one but they seem to be interested in making tpb very hard to maintain, take it down even if it is only for days and make sure no one in their right mind would want to create a torrent site.

Now, why I'm wrong and why they don't do just what I said?

I want to add to what Kevin said here (and disclaim that he is a HashiCorp employee) by saying that in a few months all of these steps will be possible via the web UI and without a command line interface or any knowledge of our open source at all. That is the direction we're heading.

The current form of Atlas requires usage of our open source and is a tech preview showing what is coming and the direction we're heading. It is very much functional but we're going to make it a very slick system that does all of this for you without a CLI. For example, Atlas currently already runs Packer for you on our servers. We're going to extend that to everything.
>So I guess the court believed the prosecutor.

How do you figure? Their fine was not based on their advertising revenue was it?
>Actually, there is a difference between hosting the files and just linking to them, and is by no means a "minor technical difference".

From the technical side of showing the torrent/magnet links on the TPB page, it's indeed a minor difference.

No, you get the why by knowing Assembly and how computers work.

Any system programming language since FORTRAN exposes the same set of issues.

We never teached C at our university (during the 90's), first year students had Pascal followed by straight C++.

If they ever need to use C, it was based on what they learned from C++. There were no C lectures, nor teaching what is C or C++.

I never saw anyone speaking about learning BCPL to use K&R C, or having to learn Pascal to use Ada or Modula-2.

Great to see the Hashicorp vision coming together across the individual tools! We are huge fans of Vagrant (https://github.com/snowplow/dev-environment) and Packer at Snowplow. Just starting to experiment with Serf and potentially Consul. The "Hashicorp way" of devops has really helped us too.

The only real weakness I see in the stack is Terraform. The elephant in the room is CloudFormation, and being built in Golang, Terraform is bounded by the functionality of Hashicorp's own AWS client lib (https://github.com/mitchellh/goamz), which hugely (and inevitably, given it's not a blessed 3rd-party library like boto) lags the official AWS clients (compare to e.g. https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java). It's going to take something radical for Terraform to be relevant to sophisticated AWS users.
Yes, absolutely. I could suspend my disbelief up until I saw the ordinary cruiser.
We've been using Terraform extensively for our production deployment (a typical AWS setup with public/private subnets, load balancers, autoscaling groups, the works), and it works for the most part. There's still a hefty amount of bugs and many things will not function the way you expect, though usually you can work around them. Also the configuration language (HCL) is rough around the edges and the variable interpolation gotchas can be very frustrating.
The Oberon OS works that way as well.

EDIT, answering my own question: "font-sizes and spacial relationships can be responsively sized based on a single <html> font-size property".

So how does this work? Do you just set html font-size 62.5% for "normal" font-sizes and then change that with media queries in order to increase size for mobile etc? Is this best practice for font-sizes nowadays?

What about em? When are you supposed to use that?
It doesn't make sense that it is unmastered. We want to test the difference of a properly made 24 bit output downsampled to 16 bit and the original.

There is difference between 16, 24, and 32 bit recordings, but it just so happens that 16 bits are enough to give an effective 120dB dynamic range, if you use proper dithering. If you do not want to use dithering "because it's not pure", you still have 96dB of dynamic range. So with dithering 16 bit allow you to represent a mosquito and a jackhammer in the same room. And even without (and that isn't a good idea, as the noise now consist of harmonic distortion which is a lot easier to hear than dithered noise) I really doubt anyone can tell the difference, 96dB is still quite a bit.
Didn't find compilation particularly hard on Windows, might be because I know the tools very well though.

On the latency: do you (or anyone reading this) happen to knwo what's the current state of low latency audio (say <5mSec) on linux? A couple of years ago we did an application for human auditory system research which required stable (as in, not ever dropping any buffers) low latency. Original idea was to do it for both windows and linux, the gui would be Qt anyway so that got the cross-platform part coverd already. We were using an RME Multiface and on windows we'd just hook it up and select e.g. 48kHz 128samples buffersize, full duplex and it just worked without any problems with the standard ASIO samples. On linux we initially hardly managed to get anything out at all. And once that was fixed, it was impossible to get down to the required latencies without dropping buffers. Even with the semi-realtime kernel patches or whatever it's called.

Anyway, we gave up back then but I still wonder: was it just our lack of knowledge, or was linux back then (about 7 years ago) really not up to the task, or was it a driver problem? And what is the state today?
No, that's a proxy. Searches don't actually work because the main site is down.
Well, for one, that the fines and damages were n has no bearing on what profit the site made, if any.

IMO: I don't really care about the media issues on Uber, what I'm concerned is that I do love the service and I don't want to see it close.
I don't necessarily agree that the "spirit of the law" is quite so nebulous. If a law is like a computer program, the "spirit of the law" is the program that you are trying to write, and the "letter of the law" is the program that you have written. If you've written a calculator and dividing 2 by 2 produces negative infinity, nobody will argue that this is a bug and not what the programmer intended.

The spirit of the law is the programmer's intention, the design document, the thing the customer wants you...to...build.....

Right, okay, I've changed my mind. That's nebulous.
