you're projecting a whole lot here. there is no reason for snowden to have the documents and it would make much more sense for him to leave them with the journalists, if you accept his stated motivations. again, granting him asylum costs them nothing and acts as an symbol they can hold up to highlight US spying and hypocrisy. they benefit in PR from hosting him and you seem to have this bizarre idea that russians just execute everyone that isn't producing value or something. it's exactly those stereotypes that russia is holding up a mirror to by hosting him, people act like they're all ruthless barbarians but the US is the country trying to crucify this guy for leaking invasive spy programs to the public. they get to call out that hypocrisy
Actually, I wasn't the first reply. TBH I was expecting this to be buried since I was so late to the party.

But regardless, my criticism is that slow speed in the hardware is rarely a problem these days. Almost every "slow computer" problem I've diagnosed in recent times (that hasn't been due to McAffee) has in fact just been a slow internet connection or a misconfigured router. When you're not a computer expert, it's hard to know why your Youtube video stutters.

So yes, they will probably get a lot of sign ups with a mantra of "faster", but IMO this isn't solving the actual problem that users tend to have with computer "slowness". In fact, it will only exacerbate it, although that might be good for pushing towards greater bandwidth.

I'm also not too keen on putting even more of my data on someone else's system.
I believe you can deploy on iOS and Android for no extra cost.
What exactly was bought? The gitorious employees? Looks like the gitorious code is gonna get scrapped.

Edit: I mean, what was the purpose of buying gitorious? The employees? Enticing the gitorious customers and users to use gitlab?
Deleted - I was confused. Thought it was GitHub buying gitlab to extinguish the competition.
Sounds like a strange design to me. On most of the train-based public transit I've seen (and even some of the "rapid" buses), the floor of the car is aligned with the floor of the boarding area, such that ramps are unnecessary.
One of the most notable things about this isn't even mentioned - and that is that, perhaps, this is the start of Google rolling out their Material Design principles to their existing properties.

Inbox uses MD heavily, but it was brand new and built from the ground up using it. As far as I know, Contacts is the first piece of the website puzzle to implement it after the fact.

EDIT: I completely forgot about Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, Account Settings, Alerts and probably others all going Material too.

UE4 is a complex beast that will take a long time to master. It takes a team of specialists to truly leverage its power. UE4's market is high-end PC and console titles. UE4 is pretty.

Unity targets small shops and indie devs. It has quick iteration times for rapid prototyping of gameplay mechanics. It takes more work to make things pretty in Unity.

It will be easier for Unity to ramp-up its visual fidelity than it will be for UE4 to revamp fundamental workflow. We're already beginning to see these changes, like new GI (global illumination) system and physically-based materials in Unity 5. Perhaps Unity v6 or v7 will have graphics on par with UE4.
Alibaba’s Fake Orders Problem
Chelsea Manning's case was complicated by the fact that he was enlisted when he got caught. Daniel Ellsberg only ended up serving 2 years because his case was dismissed for prosecutorial misconduct. Something of this nature is unlikely to happen in Snowden's case, but mounting public pressure could force some sympathy. To clarify, I think they'll try to give him 200 years in prison but I don't think it'll stick.

"Watch it get ignored"

"Submit a patch" is open source's way of telling you to fuck off.

The Github business of creating a whole publicly visible fork just to submit a patch is a bit much. I have some obsolete forks on GitHub which I need to kill off so someone doesn't try to use them.
After a few days please review that comment of yours. Could anybody in an internet conversation really know all details of your constraints?

Maybe, maybe(!) there is an argument were you would need to version huge binaries which you could generate out of the same already versioned sources, but even if there is, there are methods to backup huge blobs, and git is simply not one of them.

If such a suite was enabled, how would the plethora of SSL testing sites out there have graded it? I assume a passing grade would not have allowed insecure suites such as these to be allowed. Insecure cipher is insecure; that would not typically be worthy of a CVE? It sounds more like even if the suite was not on your accepted list, a MITM could cause the server to downgrade?

This is all OpenSSL has to say about it;

RSA silently downgrades to EXPORT_RSA [Client] (CVE-2015-0204)
==============================================================

Severity: Low

An OpenSSL client will accept the use of an RSA temporary key in a non-
export RSA key exchange ciphersuite. A server could present a weak
temporary key and downgrade the security of the session.

This issue affects all current OpenSSL versions: 1.0.1, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8.

OpenSSL 1.0.1 users should upgrade to 1.0.1k.
OpenSSL 1.0.0 users should upgrade to 1.0.0p.
OpenSSL 0.9.8 users should upgrade to 0.9.8zd.

This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 22nd October 2014 by Karthikeyan
Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA. The fix was developed by Stephen
Henson of the OpenSSL core team.

I find these notes are usually too curt to really understand what's going on...

Also, that CVE is from Jan 8, 2015, while this is claiming to be a new issue disclosed today. I've seen no mention on the oss-security list of "FREAK", so something is borked with this disclosure if it is a new vulnerability...

> We've had instances where secrets were committed to local repositories by accident.

That's laudable, but countless examples show that not everyone is that diligent. I'd love if I could lock down some parts of some repos so that they're only accessible by people that I have an elevated level of trust in. (and where I can enforce a certain security level on the laptop).
I have to agree here. You only need a startpoint. In essence a commit is a diff on that startpoint. So "cloning" a single commit should be enough to create a new one and push it.
Yeah, that really disturbed me.

Honestly, Silicon Valley just creeps me out, and this is one of the reasons why. I much prefer the tech startup scene in North Texas, which is far saner.
We are updating the site to be more clear, so thanks for the feedback!

And you are correct. We provide you a desktop OS that we deliver directly to a web browser. Unlike traditional remote desktop protocols (i.e. maybe you have VPNed into your work computer from home, for example) we are developing a high-performance streaming protocol that makes this machine feel like its right in front of you.
Bryce,
This seems very interesting. I have been working on a Neural Network SaaS startup for awhile now, and I think my plans could align with this program. I just wanted to say thanks to you and OATV for trying this experiment. I think traditional VC's miss out on lots of opportunities where there is some consulting revenue early on in the company lifecycle to help build the business. I have high hopes that INDIC.vc and programs like it could help those sorts of businesses get going.
Thank you for the explanation. The guide just said "Play with them ...", so it was not obvious (at least to me teraflop) what was different about them.

Neither of those people were intentionally killed. Certainly we can argue about larger strategy and when the cost of collateral damage is worth military action but that discussion is orthogonal to one about a loss of due process.
Fun fact, some of those (obviously false) statements regarding nuclear energy may in fact be true depending on interpretation of their original meaning. We still have yet to harness mass-energy-equivalence for power. Modern nuclear energy, both fission and fusion, are more accurately nuclear potential energy (like a hydro electric plant and water).

From Wikipedia[1]:

E = mc2 has frequently been invoked as an explanation for the origin of energy
in nuclear processes specifically, but such processes can be understood as
converting nuclear potential energy in a manner precisely analogous to the
way that chemical processes convert electrical potential energy.

I don't know, but it seems reasonable to me to conclude that when Einstein stated the following, he may have been referring to mass-energy-equivalence rather than nuclear potential energy, which in fact continues to hold true for the foreseeable future:

There is not the slightest indication that [nuclear energy] will ever be
obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.

And how, precisely, do you expect someone to become well-versed in something while trying not to comment on it?
Because you're actively killing a living thing.

In the same way I think it's not productive to call an animal that will killed "cold cuts", I don't think it's productive to refer to a living animal as a "renewable resource".

Also implying that you can kill and waste as many of them as you like simply because you paid for it is not productive either.

In all honesty, it's disappointing to see people refer to living creatures this way.

What are you going on about? They didn't understand the material: either they were intelligent enough to understand it, but had been insufficiently educated, or they were unintelligent enough to understand it, and no amount of education would have helped. Regardless, they had no business being there.

> I've found that it's almost always lack of education and/or lack of opportunity creating the environment you've described.

Sure, but that's irrelevant: they should never have been admitted to the programme. They slowed down the rest of the class; they took places which could have been taken by others; they had a miserable time and hated the experience. Others were worse off; they were worse off. It was a lose-lose situation for everyone.

> See the thing is, for every white male/female that this happened to it happens disproportionately more to women, people of color , and women of color increasingly in that order.

So? The only fair thing is to do one's best to take everyone on his own merits. Those poor students should have been taken on their own merits, and not admitted; the students who were unfairly rejected should have been taken on their merits, and admitted.

Only an idiot would give me a slot on a professional football team in order to make up for my lack of sports privilege; only an idiot would admit an unqualified student to make up for his lack of privilege.
They had to. Even their forums exploded with people asking about this. And honestly, I'm very glad they did it. Now I have two game engines to mess around with.

You're probably right she didn't have code reviews in mind. Perhaps I was just worried that someone takes this as an example and will do some crazy unnecessary tricks in software.

Also, I don't have any experience of such absurd situations despite my experience working with dozens of teams. Maybe that's because I'm from Northern Europe where professionals don't take such bullshit from anyone. Oops... perhaps slightly strong wording. Well, I guess you get the point.

For the record, when I see in people in love I think "Hey, that's wonderful, the world needs more of that, that's fantastic". I rarely think of the chemistry involved because it is irrelevant to that context.

But it is there (and would be entirely relevant were I studying the mechanisms involved, was I interested in the neuropsychology, etc.).

To deny its presence, though, to argue otherwise, is either to be mystical or irrational.

Or in your case, angry. And rude.

I have an AZ S-Corp (very similar). I have a bunch of additional filings I have to stay on top of. I strongly recommend using a service like ZenPayroll to do it all for you automatically. I'm an army of 1, and its well worth the monthly fee not to miss a single filing and have to pay the IRS a penalty equal to 30% of your withholdings.

There are a bunch of taxes I have to pay in AZ, including withholding taxes (federal and state), unemployment taxes, federal corp taxes. Its a mess. Be very good at Quickbooks (or equivalent). I've made just about every mistake possible. I regret not taking some courses on it.

Lawyers are probably not necessary early on, but definitely a good bookkeeper or quickbooks training is very valuable.
I and my teams used Darcs in two startups around 2005-2007, back just before and after 2.0.

When it worked, it was pretty good. Darcs' UI was close to ideal. The interactive record prompt, for example (which git got after a while with the "-p" flag), was great. The way Darcs was able to infer dependencies between commits automatically and treat it more as a "sea of patches" rather than a linear history meant that it was very easy to work with branches.

The problem was that as our codebase grew, it increasingly did not work. The infamous exponential conflict problem was just one of several bugs and performance issues that ended up costing us a lot of money in lost productivity. The problem was that when something went wrong, you probably couldn't fix it yourself. The only people who actually understood the internal database — not just the files on disk, but how it all fit together, including the "patch theory" — were the Darcs developers themselves, and not many people except David Roundy actually understood it from top to bottom. The fact that it was written in Haskell (which, at the time, was a lot more obscure than it is today) just made things worse.

After a while we also found that the lack of a linear history had major downsides. Patch dependencies meant it was harder to cherry-pick; when you wanted to pick just one commit, it was often impossibly to understand why Darcs wanted to also pick a bunch of unrelated commits along with it, and from there on it got messy (and you increasingly risked bumping into the exponential merge bug). Git's history-rewriting tools cause more conflicts, but are ultimately simpler and easier to understand.

Darcs' tragedy is probably that its performance problems burned so many people that they gave up and left it for Git or Mercurial, never to come back. We might have stuck with it longer, if it hadn't been for the aforementioned issues. On the bright side, even if Darcs hadn't had these issues, we probably would never have had a Darcshub.com, and Git would still have beaten the competition.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are still more repos with >100 maintainers who mostly receive mail patches. Just because you haven't grown up learning them doesn't mean they are not bigger than all you know, right?

> HATEOAS only lets you discover something by going there, so to speak; it doesn't give you a complete index like a WSDL.

HATEOAS doesn't inherently require that you "go" anywhere to get a hypertext document describing an API, and can be as complete as you want. But, since its really designed for web-scale decentralized interlinked APIs, no, its not primarily intended to have one document that gives you every possible linked endpoint.

> Automated HATEOAS clients are at this point purely theoretical

Googlebot is an example of an automated HATEOAS client that handles a wide array of content types. It is decidedly not purely theoretical.

Actually the original idea for a pull-request is an email send from your local (but accessible via internet) repo to the original repo maintainers that asks them to fetch changes from your repo and merge them.
