It's pretty clear that normal foals are far ahead of normal human infants in musculoskeletal terms, but they're about even in terms of breathing, nursing, digestion, etc. (And human infants are far more effective at vocalization.) The sort of comparison you make reminds of the flawed concept of "dog years": there are no linear relations here. Anyway, the most troublesome symptom of a "dummy" foal is that it doesn't nurse properly. I haven't heard that about autistic children.
I would agree. I work in a large organization that shoves all websites into drupal, and provides our non-technical clients with solutions they don't like using.

The Drupal pumpers I always feel are just highly opinionated techno-files, and somewhat insufferable to debate with. I think most are scared of learning new technologies, and none of their opinions are based on developing solutions and workflows that easy to use for their clients or how people surf the web (google it).

All the drupal modules are 5 years old, have 30,000 installs, and don't actually do anything nicely that you want them to do. Go find a drupal module that is similar to Yoast SEO. Go find a great responsive template to base your sites design on for that matter. Setup a author-editor-publish workflow that someone who only knows how to use facebook and gmail can work with. Drupal is terrible for clients to manage.

Depends on whether it’s tarpitted or not (i.e. do subsequent attempts to unlock the device have a progressively longer cool down time before another unlock request can be made). Also, Apple for example will wipe the device after, I believe, 10 failed attempts? It’s possible to defeat 4-digit keys in 10 attempts but it’s not likely.
This is really cool. The AST transformation stuff here is neat, but relatively well-trodden ground.

The more impressive new science here is the lazy_function decorator, which is implemented as a bytecode transformer on the code object that lives inside the decorated function. The author built his own library for the bytecode stuff, which lives here: https://github.com/llllllllll/codetransformer.

I think it is an embarrassment, but they didn't ask me.
ZFS device removal is on its way but not quite in illumos yet. From Alex's blog post: "We’ll publish the code when we ship our next release, probably in March [2015], [and we will] integrate into Illumos once we address all the future work issues."
Yes, free(NULL) is a questionable statement. The source code comment (not the analyzer) just irritated me.
Holy crap! I'd never seen that before! For its time, that's masterful! It also makes the sci-fi facet of the screenplay much more intelligent. (Of course the Colonial Marines are going to use lots of automated weapons!)
Also from the comments, ARMv8 requires AES instructions, so having the drivers around won't be a problem in the future. This appears true from the ARMv8-A docs, but can someone more knowledgeable confirm this?

Supposedly this is why the Nexus 9 (which is ARMv8-A) does have default encryption and suffers no performance hit.

By the time it got to teenaged me (mid-1990s), much of the (non-incindiery) information was quaint and outdated, but I always found the whole thing fascinating, even if it didn't appeal to my nature.

I can understand wanting it out of print, but it also gained prominence during an age of information diaspora that brought with it interesting, iterative retellings and modifications of the information. It served as a rolling early Wikipedia for shenanigans (or worse) through he age of the BBS, into the early commercial Internet. I can't remember how many modified versions I encountered on places like FidoNet.

There is a near-universal, primal teenage boy attraction to this kind of stuff, sometimes with real, awful intent but more often as a sort of maturation fantasy mechanism. That it was expressed in some sort of compendium shouldn't be a source of lifetime regret.

The answer is vim. Don't be scared of it, just dive in and you'll never want anything else again.
We've met a few times, but I learned this when I was escorting him around the Bay Area for a day during his book tour.
I don't think either engine is well suited for an MMO to be honest. You are probably better off looking at something like the HeroEngine.

Unreal Engine's built in networking systems are suitable for 64 players, maybe 128 tops. It's replaceable, but I wouldn't recommend delving into that.

I will say this though, if you have 1 C++ programmer with UE4, they can create functionality not builtin to the engine and expose it via Blueprint (the visual scripting language) for non-programmers to use. Blueprint is a fantastic and very easy to use tool. Take a look at the forums to see the incredible things people have built with ZERO programming knowledge.
"Honestly, if your clients don’t understand difference between your work and cheap crap, you have a problem selling value."

The problem is probably more selling to the wrong folks; there's certain folks that will never care about anything other than price.

And there's another (larger?) segment of potential customers that won't understand the difference in quality (in the software arena) until they're hit with a few malware issues, or a few days of downtime, or a massive cleanup bill. I've found once people go through that once or twice, they start to understand why the "$80 website" really is 'too good to be true'.
If you're working at a startup, I hope there aren't people relying on you to negotiate an exit down the road.
Right, but that's relying on the OS to lock the attacker out, and you can do that without encryption -- the point of encryption is that even if someone bypasses the operating system and reads the disk directly, they can't read your files. If someone has a full image of your phone's flash storage, they can try PINs as fast as they want.
> You can't really push that sort of responsibility up. You own it.

That is pretty unrealistic. I agree with you about ignoring intent, but I also recognize the fact that at present this sort of philosophy would not work in a world dominated by states.

> ... the only people that would end up pushing for a fight would be the politicians ...

Or defense contractors. In a world where the majority of people believe in ghosts, it is not likely that things will work out in the way you think they would. I'm pretty confident that the US would start exercising its legal authority in drafting military aged males. I can already hear you saying "But they'd refuse!", but that would require you to ignore history.

> I'm not sure if we lived in the same world at the time but from a legal perspective...

I'm guessing not, because you seem to have forgotten all the games played with UN weapons inspectors and violation of no fly zones.

> That's not entirely true either. Flag worshipping...

Actually, the same logic that dismantles the moral authority of the state's power to wage war, dismantles the moral authority of every other state power. So obviously this sort of moral analysis is not occurring regularly, because the world is full of states. I have no doubt that there are a lot of countries full of people who are less predisposed to military expeditions than Americans, but my point is that it isn't due to deep moral reflection.

> That made all the difference in getting him re-elected in the first place, critical thinking does not enter into it.

And yet you are expecting widespread moral reflection from the very same people.

> I've decided that the buck stops with me.

That is great and all, but not every effective in terms of systemic change. If you really want war to go away, then you need to get rid of the state. That is the reason I got involved with development in the bitcoin ecosystem several years ago, popularization would likely deal a killing stroke to the state.
Have you managed to get group chats working on Pidgin? That's the part I've been unable to get working since the Hangouts migration.
This promises to be incredible for all of the use cases where folks currently remote-control tmux windows, etc.
When considering things like debugger integration, this cracks the door to some features previously owned well only by GUI IDEs.

I think the killer feature here is not just terminal-in-vim, but the full emulation aspect. When I used to use Emacs extensively, I could never really get into eshell because it ignored terminal emulation. It was OK for some things, but mostly just threw a wrench in my normal shell workflows.
Oh, I think we can agree that the situation is far from ideal. But this is to note that nothing has actually changed recently, as opposed to what has been written last week. With the exception of Voice over the old GTalk network, that is. And, of course, to highlight again that Google had the best way to describe why it is important to have choice, and then removed that choice.
So, a Manhattan project over Manhattan?
In a sense, it already is. The link-based ranking system is a measure of popularity.

Seems weak to me. I doubt the cipher latency is noticeable even if done in well-optimised software. How much I/O to flash does a phone, once booted, really do anyway? There may be a battery life argument...but pfft, most of the battery consumption isn't CPU

Antirez listens to venetian snares :D

Have you ever seen him live? It's quite something. I've never seen CDJs subjected to such abuse!

EDIT: snares that is, not Salvatore. I'm sure he takes great care of his CD players.
100% agreed. I've sat down with a few family members and friends who want to understand "investments" and it takes many conversations just to drill into their head that for most average people, boring is good. There are certainly complex, fast moving financial instruments that are exciting, but these should be steered clear of. It takes quite awhile to wash away the preconceived notions about what "investing" is. Investing shouldn't be like playing poker - it might be fun to have "action" and "excitement", but save that for the trips to Vegas.
As the author of that article, thank you. And, I agree it would be sad if you had to think about exactly how many drives are in a RAID-Z group. The entire point of my blog post is that you do not have to think about it.

"TL;DR: Choose a RAID-Z stripe width based on your IOPS needs and the amount of space you are willing to devote to parity information. Trying to optimize your RAID-Z stripe width based on exact numbers is irrelevant in nearly all cases."
Removing most of the business complexity around licensing an engine is a big deal for small developers. This is good news.
Agreed. With how much is disconnected between Hangouts and XMPP federation, I don't think you can call XMPP at Google "alive".
It's mind blowing and tragic at the same time. We'll only ever get tiny and blurred glimpses of the stories of those people and tribes that walked the earth for all those millennia. It's so easy then to forget that they had hopes and dreams just like us.

Contrast that to people born in this century whose every move from the day they were born is documented online.
hahahahaha yeah....
Ok, you have a good point that version numbers do have a security implication.

However, I'm now going to say something a bit different and claim that it is what I meant the whole time. ;-)

Hardening applications, like any development, is a matter of focus, and I would argue that hiding version numbers should be pretty far down the list of priorities.

In your update example, the real problem is that the software stored sensitive data unsecured in the web root. Solving the problem would mean patching the software so that the sensitive data is properly secured. Once that's done, it no longer matters that you know the version number.

So: I agree with you that version obscurity can help, but I think it's only a little. I think most teams can find more productive ways to spend their security time.
That could potentially be done at the hardware level, which would make it much harder to bypass.
> Is it strange that people defend Mayer so much? I find it a little strange.

One possible reason is that she is a woman. This, seemingly irrelevant fact, has a couple of potential implications.

First, criticism towards one of the few female tech CEOs could be viewed as misogynistic. Most people would shy away from such controversy.

Second, as a woman in tech she is the underdog, and people love to root for the underdog.

Just a theory, I could be way off of course.

Efficiency at its finest.
The graphic of the comparison page is a bit unfortunate from Unreal's POV. I get that they want the arrows to indicate "move to" as in move from Unity to Unreal. Can't help but interpret it as Unity >>> Unreal though which is probably not what they intended.

I really like this easy 5% above X model. Seems fair enough.

You can set your device encryption and screen unlock code separately already. Android also uses scrypt as a PBKDF.
So it is not the end of XMPP - XMPP is just broken for the mainstream clients.

OT, but why? what did you switch to, if anything?
Exactly. When there's money why not scale their service?
With free labor that sounds pretty trivial.

We're talking about a use case where spending $500 to ten-tuple a users peak computational ability is too much of a capital investment and/or labor is too cheap to bother, so just hire more bodies and work slower.
Sounds this will tie in with their plan to build a phone carrier service.
Exciting!

I don't see any clear reason to believe your first claim. Humans can and do create things that are far too complex for any one human to be able to conceive of or comprehend. Most large engineering projects are good examples of this, but also even larger systems like governments and markets. You can certainly argue that even these large systems are less complex than human intelligence, but even if a human can only understand things 1% as complex as his own intelligence, I see no compelling reason to believe that thousands of humans can't develop something more complex than one human's intelligence.

As for your second claim, well, I suppose it is subjective, though I would prefer the term "speculative."
> However, since the Google Talk Service does not support server-to-server encryption via TLS (something that was required by RFC 3920 in 2004), a number of servers (including jabber.org) refuse to establish a connection since May 2014.

Yeah, that's the deadly deal breaker. Practically all servers make it mandatory now. Since Google blatantly refuse to support server to server encryption (I wonder why), all my contacts that use Google Talk are basically cut off. Goodbye Google, you became evil as soon as you decided not to open Hangouts protocol for everyone and broke XMPP federation for Google Talk.

Server to server encryption problem was reported to Google multiple times, but they used their usual stonewalling response to address it.
You mean applying for positions that might not exist? I understand that it might be easy if you have an impressive CV and apply to a company with "exceptional applicants welcome at all times" attitude, but it doesn't seem realistic for someone in my position to do that.

As an active member of styleforum and an all around clothing snob, I can't say that I approve of this trend.
Only to a very specific, and small, group of people does the term free mean something besides it's commonly accepted meaning. You are attaching additional meaning to a word that already has meaning, and then complaining that people are creating ambiguity? Reminder this isn't Slashdot.

I have started switching our customer service staff to Chromeboxes (specifically, the Asus model below). However, we've found that 2 GB does not provide acceptable performance once you open more than half a dozen tabs. We've been upgrading all machines to 4 GB and have found that performance is significantly snappier than the low end Windows boxes we were using.

And, of course, we love not having to worry about upgrades, anti-virus, backups. etc. Even the Symple would require us to manually upgrade the Ubuntu OS eventually.

50 Things I Did AND GOT ACQUIRED
For photos, you need a story for how to do something that's equivalent to "share publicly" without the implications that that usually comes with on a social network.

There are photos on G+ that I'd like to show my family. This is "public" from G+'s point of view, because I'm not going to make them log into G+.

Nothing goes wrong if other people see these photos too; however, I don't want people who have me in their G+ circles to get notified that I'm now "sharing" these photos that they have no interest in, and I don't want some boring photos to represent me on my "feed".

This use case worked on Picasa, but G+ broke it.

Right now I find the extremely concealed download link and e-mail them. This is not how a photo product should work.
