The whole baked-in type system also adds a lot of complexity. On top of that you get the complexity that is xml it self (namespaces, while theoretically a good idea, are pure insanity).
One additional bit of search foo to add to this if "non-standard" doesn't work well is the last and first few words of abutting sentences, like "a workaround for this.

Even the "safety first" argument, from the summary I read of the report, doesn't hold, since the value of intelligence gained by torture is clearly debatable. So it's both cruel and inefficient.
Why is this Hacker News? Is there some debate that we're going to have for or against torture? It sounds like we're just reporting major news that's already covered by CNN and the NYT.
It's an interesting question. Generally speaking (if one can really do that in legal areas) if the photograph features another work but is not transformative (loosely: doesn't add any new artistic content) then the photo doesn't have a separate copyright [or at least not one that's useful for anything].

In short, slavish reproduction is copying, not creation of original works.

Exceptions have been made under "sweat of the brow" arguments when museums, for example, make extremely high quality reproductions (or UV images or similar where there is a lot of technical effort involved). I don't really buy the argument, but it doesn't stand here as we're talking relatively low grade copies for small screens.

Character doesn't really interest me. People can be extremely inconsistent. It's to the point where it's a standard joke that the neighbors of serial killers describe them as being nice people. So I personally see no inconsistency with either the supposed nice kid going bonkers or the supposed good cop turning murderous.

To me, the interesting questions are your second one plus the question of why the officer started shooting instead of leaving the scene, potentially returning with backup, since he was still in his car.
Not a company page, a company entity as part of the facebook audience network, in order to get paid. It's on app details for the app you're trying to get into FAN.
The impression that I get is that people with weak technical hiring skills use these lists as a proxy metric. It would be impossible to validate any claim that an applicant can demonstrate proficiency with all the skills in the list and equally unimportant. These people just want someone to walk up to them and lie. If they can't evaluate the quality of the people they hire, they've already hired shitty engineers and I don't want to work with them.

I expect people will try different things with SW, but that the pattern for offline will end up being basically what appcache implemented.

That's because there's really only one way to do it: you split your app into a client/server model, where the client (the ui resources) are updated transactionally in the background and swapped into place when they are ready, and there's a local datastore that serves as a cache of the truth and a queue of pending changes.

ServiceWorker is more flexible and powerful than appcache, and you can do other (non-offline related) things with it. That's great. But the fundamental model for building an offline-capable applications is well-understood and unlikely to change. It's the model that all mobile applications frameworks use, what desktop apps used before, and what appcache implemented.
Heroku for dummies
Your stack, globals, and local heap were all allocated out of the same 64KB segment. Any locals in WinMain are effectively allocated for the entire lifetime of your app, and took up some of that limited space.

Normally, you'd save the stack space by putting the structure definition in a separate function, and you'd regain the space on return from the function. But for these Hello World apps, you're over-simplifying to death, trying to reduce the number of functions. I suspect the LocalAlloc here is vestigal, from an earlier hello app where the HelloInit function was inline.
Those are called "parallax" themes.
We had a lot of fun with a recent hiring effort here. Our ad headline was "We do not want ninjas or rock stars, just good programmers." It seemed to resonate with our target audience more than a generic headline.
This is not copyright infringement. The original "work" is much to small and fact based to be enforceable copyrightable material and the visual style is a default theme. This is inspiration and a bit of copying but certainly not breaking federal law.

I started on my current project 10 months ago, and using gitinspector [1], I can see I've averaged 10k lines a month, but after deletions and refactors, about 40% of that remains. This is working on a green field project and never exceeding 40 hours a week. It's also 'losing' coding time to research (I'm a junior dev) and managing / training other team members. So I could see a much higher number of lines than this being feasible.

Sure wish Obama could just grow a pair already.
There is no one dictating where levels of abstraction have to get drawn, just that once they're there, they tend to stick. The layers of abstraction between C out-of-the-box and the interfaces you would want to use when developing for the web can be written, but as far as I know don't exist. The path of least resistance to development is adopting languages and tools where the niceties already exist.

The biggest influence of why the lines get drawn where they are is simply evolution. Whatever tools and problem domains are hot at the same time get married. The two both influence each-other and continue evolving on their own. Which is why the interfaces on a fantastic framework still might not be as nice in C. Once your database schema is autogenerated from introspection, do you want to go back?

The stickiness of what tools are right for which jobs means that people developing in C++ tend not to make the most of everything available to them. (It's not C, but better for my example where...) On the other side, when I build things in C++ and take advantage of everything at my fingertips, people still assume I'm rubbing two pointers together to create fire.

By the way, the CIA contracted people to teach and operate the torture. They paid them $80 MILLION. Truly the "american way"

https://www.google.com/search?q=cia+$80+million

The CIA has already won when the press is still using the phrase "enhanced interrogation" instead of what it was: torture.

And sometime in the next decade the torture will start again despite all the useless outrage, just like the NSA continues on with the public shrugging.

Remember the CIA actively lied to congress, ignoring any objections and even as this report was being gathered, they were hacking into the committee's computers to delete content. These are not good people but we are stuck with them because no-one is willing to do anything about it.

"Your father's laptop. This is the weapon of a hacker. Not as clumsy or random as a tablet; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age."
Best job description I ever wrote. This was while I was a Microsoft building a new team.

Are you a lazy program manager who could care less
about PCs, devices, networking, and other technologies
in the home? Have you always dreaded working on a
product that you would LOVE to use? Do you yearn to
work in a huge, lumbering, group working on the same
old stuff forever? If so, have we got a job for you!

We are looking for a newbie program manager to hinder
us in building the next version of Windows Home Server.
Our team is ginormous, moves excruciatingly slowly and
indecisively, and we are thoroughly hating life. And we
need more PMs to suffer along with us! Interested?

You will be a non-player helping to design and build
the 42nd version of a product that has been around
since before you were born. We are still in startup
mode, and as part of a startup, you’ll have to do one
task repeatedly over and over. You need to be ready and
willing to do whatever I say when I say it even if it
makes no sense whether that means screwing up features,
angering partners, ignoring the community, creating
bugs, and maybe even stealing a little code and hacking
into a bank. We are in need of Program Managers with
weak design skills; goof-offs who can take ownership of
a user scenario area, ignore requirements, design a
useless technology for technologies sake (forgetting
about the user experience), and work with dev, test,
UA, usability, etc… to cause them all to quit. And then
do it again.

Candidates should have poor consumer empathy, a deep
dislike of cutting edge technology in the home, and the
ability to cause political issues in small team where
everything is already figured out and there’s nothing
really left to do.

Candidates must have less than 4 days experience as a
program manager working on shipping products.
Experience doing customer research and designing
consumer UIs will immediately disqualify you. The less
technical knowledge you have of networking, storage,
and Windows server technologies the better. Candidates
should have a B.A. in Basket Weaving or equivalent and
should have been fired from their previous two jobs.
Fair use is a defense for infringement, it doesn't mean that infringement didn't happen. It more like a get-out-of-jail-free sort of thing--you did the deed, but you don't do the time.
As a 10 year long Ubuntu user for servers, desktop, cloud etc I agree with both your comments. Ubuntu/canonical over announces and under delivers recently to the level of appearing not believable. I m still waiting for my Ubuntu phone, Ubuntu for Android etc, and had to delete my Ubuntu one.

What's left unannounced? Ubuntu VR. Ubuntu watch. Ubuntu Glass. Ubuntu Play. Ubuntu Search . Ubuntu taxi? Ubuntu bnb? Ubuntu drive (again), Ubuntu Robot? Ubuntu drone? Ubuntu.js?

Edit: As a power Ubuntu user, I wish Ubuntu gets more concentrated on certain products rather than lose energy on multiple fronts.
This is great research, and confirms to me that readers are not put off by long pages, and are actively looking to scroll for information.
Software is content. eBooks loaded on the phone with Kindle or iTunes DRM: content. Custom for-pay navigation crapware from carrier: "content".

The way the DMCA is written, it doesn't matter what is being "protected", it only matters that there is software that attempts to lock something down. Circumventing it, even if the locked "container" is empty, is illegal. And yes, it is breathtakingly draconian in its anti-consumer stance.
Just like murdering jews was called a "resettlement operation." To sanitize the language.
I spent some time checking into things, and here's what appears to be happening:

1. I do get an IPv6 address from Time-Warner... and it appears to be legit. (It's not the link-local address; it starts with 2605:e000, which is in the Time-Warner block)

2. But... it appears to be non-routable from the general internet. I think this is Time-Warner's fault. But maybe it's my router. I am not sure. Traceroute from http://4or6.com/traceroute?l=en gives me this. (I attempted to obfuscate my real address with XXXX)

3. Since a recent firmware upgrade, my router detects this problem, and sometimes (but not always) decides to set up a 6to4 tunnel. I am not sure how this works, exactly.

4a. If the router does set up the 6to4 tunnel, I do have IPv6, but as organsnyder says, since 6to4 tunnels suck, the OS prefers to use ipv4.

4b. If the router does not set up the 6to4 tunnel, I have a completely non-functional IPv6.

Oh well, maybe next year.
George Orwell's essay "Politics and the English Language" covers this subject well.

"In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of the political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness. Defenseless villages are bombarded from the air, the inhabitants driven out into the countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: this is called pacification. Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no more than they can carry: this is called transfer of population or rectification of frontiers. People are imprisoned for years without trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination of unreliable elements. Such phraseology is needed if one wants to name things without calling up mental pictures of them."

Since he's mocking and snarking at each snippet, I think adding pointers to the sources would make it come off as an incitement to make fun of the authors, and rather more mean than he intended. An alternative would be to add direct citations but tone down the snark. I think Ted wanted to focus on the code examples themselves, and to make an overarching point about how "rand" is actually used in practice.

That said, if you want to figure it out, he did say they were "selected examples" from this list of projects: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=141776286105814&w=2 Also, you may be able to google for exact text matches with the code. (You might find other projects that have the exact same problem--but that is likely good enough.)
I start to like this way of looking for false positives or false negatives more and more.

It would be interesting to introduce some kind of aspects known from the human brain and see if the misclassified items "move" in some conceptually understandable direction.

* Introduce time. Humans are not just image classifiers; humans are able to recognize objects in visual streams of images. Such streams can be seen as latent variables that introduce correlations over time as well as space. What constitutes spatial noise might very well be influenced in our brains by the temporal correlations we see as well.

* Introduce saccades. A computer is only able to see a picture from one viewpoint. Our eyes undergo saccades and microsaccades. That's an unfair advantage for us, being able to see a picture multiple times from different directions!

* Introduce the body. We can move around an object. This again introduces correlations that 1.) are available to us, and 2.) might define priors even when we are not able to move around the picture. In other words, we can (unconsciously) rotate things in our head.
Rock stars are statistically more likely to end up dead in a hotel bathtub.

Ninjas spend 99% of their time practicing, but when they do work, you never see them. And you know them by their trail of bodies.

Neither of these sound like successful software developer case studies.
I was afraid this would be one of those pieces that the morbidly obese would cite to say that "preventive medicine" in the form of exercise or just weight loss in general is dangerous, but it's actually a fairly good piece. The statin screening especially hit home for me as I've been threatened with being put on statins myself. I just love how the screening calculator was most likely written by the drug companies (no conflict of interest there) and didn't take into account physical activity level, diet, or even weight! Like the article's author, I would steadfastly refuse to be put on a medication that did very little to decrease my susceptibility to a disease, while hampering more natural ways to prevent the disease (ie, less exercise due to muscle pain from statins).
Why do you say so?

My devices restart for system updates and that's pretty much it.

> Your sensitive information including brokerage account login credentials are always kept encrypted using 256-bit level complexity.

You need a lot more cryptographic detail if you want this product to be treated as secure.
> You're being disingenuous here. It's like the difference between a police officer shooting an armed criminal on the street (which may be a matter of necessity, though recent examples highlight just how problematic such a standard can be) and beating them up in jail when they're already in a custodial situation and thus present no threat to the public.

In war, we justify things a lot more morally ambiguous than a police officer shooting an armed criminal that's an imminent threat. Workers at a munitions factory who are just carting things around? Those folks get killed in war in airstrikes that are totally consistent with international conventions. Is waterboarding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed worse than blowing up some sap who just showed up to work on the wrong day? I just find it ridiculous to play that line drawing exercise.

I agree 100% with the rest of your analysis, though. Whatever the moral case may be, we shouldn't engage in enhanced interrogation because it yields low-value or even misleading information at the cost of tremendous political capital.

I just looked at the Jobs page on the site of an actual employer - not a job board post - where they had photos of them all getting drunk.

I have had some experiences with alcoholics I do not wish to repeat.

A recent employer was a raging alcoholic, I mean to the point that there were hundreds of beer bottles in the recycling bin, one-liter bottles of expensive hard liquor presented on display in the break room. The only room in the whole office that wasn't totally trashed, held a pool table that no one ever actually used, that had several of the kinds of mirrors that liquor distributors give to bars.

I didn't clue in to this right away. However the guy bet the farm on a technology without looking into whether that technology actually worked. When I had not gotten it working after just two hours, he started raging at me about how it was all my fault that it didn't work. This for a technology I'd never heard of, and would not touch with a hot rock now that I have experience with it.

I finally packed up my stuff, broadcast a terse, angry letter of resignation to the entire company, to the effect that I don't work for alcoholics, then walked out with no advance notice at all.

In fact, Lenticrypt has the theoretical property that, under reasonable assumptions, there is always a near 100% probability that there exists an key in the public domain that will decrypt a given ciphertext to any desired plaintext, even if that key is not known.

This can't be true; there are more possible plaintexts than there are keys in the public domain.
[disclaimer juju dev]

juju isn't really config management.. its orchestration, and its been around since before that was cool (4yrs). thankfully orchestration is in revival mode as the hot thing in devops is containers which obviate a good portion of the install side of config management, and leaving discovery, provisioning, resource management, etc around.

maas is standalone.. and is pretty cool imo, as a an api for controlling baremetal machines (ipmi, libvirt, pxe, etc) with cross os support and used on everything from super computers to intel nucs.
