So what? The attitude should be to aim for zero death by suicide. That's acheivable for places like MIT.

It's fucking scandalous that MIT tolerates such a high level of death by suicide.

The question of whether LibreSSL has fixes for OpenSSL issues comes up frequently enough that it made sense to note it directly.

Fixes and improvements have certainly been shared between the Boring, Open and LibreSSL teams, and we look forward to further cooperation. It is obviously beneficial.

LibreSSL has in the past mitigated issues that later became known in OpenSSL through security updates. Sometimes, it has been still vulnerable to OpenSSL issues as well. Hopefully we'll fall into the former camp this time around.

To the security researchers and developers who have reached out, we are very grateful.

Old VI-3 geezer from the late 70s, early 80s here - the time when the EECS faculty tried to handle their over-subscription problem by (unsuccessfully) imposing their own, separate admission requirements and flunking out a significant fraction of EECS wannabes into other majors. Had an advisor who tried to get me to join the Armed forces instead of stay in school. Watched the Dept deny tenure to the only EECS prof to actually teach us and treat us as human beings.

Certainly makes those calls/emails from the MIT full-time alumni fundraisers feel, well, surreal.

While large companies have their weaknesses, there's also a lot that can be learned working at one for a couple of years out of school before jumping into a startup. Even if the actual role isn't as "fulfilling," there is a lot more access to experience and wisdom that can be a lot harder to come by in a startup environment.
I personally found the slideshow having a rather inconvenient format. Good slides though. Very informative.

The content was good as well, great introduction. I am a ~20 second solver myself both with CFOP and Roux, ~30 secs with ZZ. I find Roux to be more fun as it allows for more creativity imo. I know full PLL (21 algs) and around half the OLLs.

Casting has similar entertaining issues with shrinkage and voids and embedded stresses. The thin parts and edges will cool much quicker than the edges.

You could anneal a block, and EDM the whole thing. Probably cheaper than the powder processes at this time and certainly the end result will either be lighter or stronger.

What does work w/ 3d printing and casting is printing your model in PLA or whatever, then sand casting around it, at least if its small. If its big you still win on time (and probably cost) using traditional woodworking to make the model.
It's quite PA when you know what the Friday disclosure is about and can see the LibreSSL hasn't (accidentally) fixed it.

When chocolate ice cream kills over 30,000 innocent people a year in the US, and about half a million around the world, every single year, that will become a valid argument.

MIT alum from 1980s here (and former nightline staffer). I am disappointed to hear that NL shut down. We did get non-MIT callers, but the fact that we had dormline (probably doesn't exist any more either -- student-run internal phone system) and no mobile phones limited its reach. There were some horrible suicides back then too, and pretty much everyone had at least one all nighter per week. If I remember the Institute had pretty good mental health services for its time, though I doubt it had free, indefinite length psychotherapy or everyone would have been on it.

But despite the grind I had a really really good time. Perhaps it was because I was (AFAICT) in the bottom half of my (tiny) high school so showed up never worrying about how I was doing compared to other students.

The Institute, at least back then, was impersonal and basically uninterested in undergraduates (not anti-, just didn't care). For me that was liberating: I could take classes in pretty much any department, and if my transcript was a mix of 5.0 and 3.0 that was OK since I was learning a shitload every day. As an undergrad I got to take a lot of graduate seminars and I got to spend a LOT of time in the lab (a majority of my last two years).
And besides that, it selects for a population subset of high achieving teens who have been pressured their entire lives by overbearing parents to have passion for math & science/engineering. They may absolutely have no interest whatsoever, but their "tiger parents" helped them achieve to get in and now they're in deep water with no life boat.

I am also from the training/teaching area too, and I must say that the people who denigrate other methods usually seem to be the worst trainers. Great trainers/teachers know exactly what you are talking about - what is the best way to teach this to these people? It depends...
Great work, it's apparent a lot of thought went into the presentation and teachings.

yep - signal your intentions as specifically to the compiler as possible, so that it can generate as optimized output as possible.

Array access is more specific and intentional than pointer arithmetic.
Actually part flex during the build process is much more of a problem with milling and sometimes turning. There simply is a set of "forbidden" geometries where the tool would destroy the part, so nobody does them. The difference, as OP states in their article, is experience and craftsmanship.
Way to cherry pick of a cherry picking. Theo meant he has no time to join yet another mailing list where OpenSSL security issues are very likely way less an 1% of the messages. Also, it's a Linux mailing list and he maintains a BSD distro, not much in common. I remember back in 98 he said he processed about 2500 emails a day (using a custom set of emacs macros). "I'm more an email processing system than a developer, sigh" (paraphrasing)

Why can't OpenSSL have an simple early warning list like most other major software packages. It's only adding one CC field.

I don't think it's insecurity. You get community status and improved job offers by creating and managing a high-profile project.

So the field is a firehose of high-profile projects, whether or not they're needed.

It's possible a very large and complex generalisation of Conway's Law, between groups that barely communicate:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law

Then you get aggressive opinionation about the projects, but really that's a secondary phenomenon.

One problem is there are no objective metrics for framework or language quality. I don't think anyone knows if objective metrics are even possible, never mind how they would work.

So you pretty much just make a choice that works for you and stay with it until something obviously much better comes along.

And if it doesn't - if it's obviously much different, but not so obviously better - you can still be getting useful work done.

The seductive promise is that Framework X will make the job take half as long and produce half the bugs.

I doubt that's ever true in practice, for general values of X, especially when you consider learning/retooling time.

Also, how can we run Lua in the browser? And how does it compare to "native" javascript in terms of performance?
Well, I would be surprised if it would be allowed. NFL uses headsets right now with strict rules.

One interesting question is if there was any benefit of this compared to headsets. I think there could be several:

- Potentially less latency in perception of the desired information.

- One independent communication channel next to the headset.

On the other hand the one pixel display is really a one-bit wide channel and it interferes with the view of the player. It could be distracting. Also there could be other alternatives to one-bit wide channels. One could be a "touch" channel somewhere on the neck. This could have comparable latency (if not faster) to the contact lens, also it seems much cheaper. I don't think it would fit well into sports though.
Sam is obviously not a disinterested party here. Don't join a big company- start a new investment for him to participate in or join one of his existing investments and help to make it a success. But in my experience nothing opens doors for you like having solid experience at a well known and well respected company. If you put in 5 years at Google, Apple, etc. you will find it to be much easier to start (or to get hired at) a start-up than if you had joined a start-up right away.
I should have been clearer. If you are a F500 consumer products company (includes pharmas), you likely have several-to-many thousand CRM users. If you are an F500 services company, you may only have a few hundred CRM users. Even being an F500 company, you don't get the time of day. This is unsettling for large corporations used to dictating the rules of engagement with vendors.

In these kinds of situations, it often works out a lot better to deal with a middleman, like Blue Wolf (in the case of Salesforce) or Cloud Sherpas/Appirio in the case of Google Apps, etc).
OpenBSD's scorched earth policy regarding OpenSSL is so anti-community it's ridiculous. OpenSSL served the entire internet for years. I'm happy that it's been forked - nice that could even happen at all - and some of the cruft responsible for the recent flood of exploits will be fixed/removed, but the hate just seems petty.
Magic Leap CEO Rony Abovitz Just Canceled Its TED Conference. Why?
Since I can't see the forest from the trees here, care to provide an example or two?

I've had cases where I want to only allow certain values (most often int) into certain functions (usually __construct, when looking at a primary key in a database), but in these cases I prefer to cast values. (int)$foo hasn't failed me yet, and I've internalized it as much
as I've internalized running application output through htmlentities.

I can see this being extremely useful if you plan on using PHP as a general purpose language, but I never have. I'd rather jump to Java/C++/Rust if I had to do numeric calculations (things like images, real time calculations, etc.)
That's because they patch within a couple of days and don't want their systems unpatched for long (30 to 60 days!) when there is a known issue out in the wild. The flaws tend to get leaked, the temptation is big because there are huge money incentives.

I bet if the embargo were for 5 days they would reconsider. But good luck with that with members like Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, which a terrible reputation of postponing things the maximum possible.
Perhaps I am wrong, but this seems like horrible advice. For example, while working for a big co, you could come across a problem that you want to solve with a startup. If you are a kid just out of college, you probably don't have enough experience to work on anything but a consumer facing startup - and those have very low odds of success, despite a few big unicorns we all know about
I don't see the point of it. The time of browser based "operating systems" about ten years ago has long gone. And even back then the whole idea was quickly scrapped again.
They strike me as interview discussion questions not simple memorization.

Take the numerous distance calculations. Great circle? Theoretical tunnel thru the earth? Traditional maritime shipping routes or aircraft navigation routes which take into account prevailing winds and international boundaries etc? Oh so you produced a number which happens to be correct, here is a slide rule and the geographic coordinates I used, you can demonstrate spherical geometry to me now.

Perhaps some ageism was involved although hard to tell if it was enforced to eliminate old people or young people, such as "deepest depth of the ocean". Data points that have stabilized in recent decades were not stable a century ago. How deep you think the ocean is depends a lot on when you learned how deep the ocean is, at least back then.

It would be nice if he'd said that, rather than "Well, they just don't." which completely misrepresents the situation. AFAIK, he has never requested such a thing, anyway. The only requests I see come from third party apologists, not from him.

He just complains that they don't give him access, when in fact they offered him access.

Is it really that hard to filter for /openssl/i/?
I must be missing something, because I don't understand what's so difficult about filtering out the irrelevant emails.
I don't agree that programming expertise is fragile. There is a kernel of knowledge that transcends language and syntax, and that is by far the bigger part of "programming knowledge", much more important than knowing specific syntax and how to use certain tools. For more, see [1].

This doesn't mean you aren't correct. People may still be reacting negatively to change, because it does require work to learn new libraries, frameworks and languages. But that is not the same as saying that programming expertise is fragile.

> I'm appalled at how schools like Harvard and Princeton [1] (my alma mater) treat students with psychological challenges (effectively kicking them out)

I'm currently at MIT now as a grad student. The notion that MIT is kicking out students who have mental health problems is a common refrain I hear from undergrads; the thought process being that MIT is trying to limit the on campus suicide rate by driving people out. I have even heard people say they suspect that medical shares psych records with the administration without their permission, which is completely untrue and illegal. I can't speak to whether MIT actually kicks people out for mental health issues (I doubt it) but the fact that this is even a commonly held belief is deeply troubling and counter productive.

I love MIT, but they need to get their shit together and be more transparent about their process in dealing with people who have mental health issues.

Yup - also, the business experience I gained at a multi-national was invaluable when it came to running my own company - both for some "how the world works" basic understanding (IANAL but can grok B2B contracts like a champ) and a solid grasp of what bad practices don't really hurt a giant corporation with mass and momentum, but could sink a young company very quickly.

Russell’s Paradox and Frege’s Mistake (2006) [pdf]
Facts are only facts if they're actually factual.

There are numerous known exceptions to simplistic supply/demand arguments, including Giffen goods, Veblen status, lack of insight on either side, information arbitrage, and so on.

It's not impossible some of them apply to city housing markets.

What annoys me about arguments about housing is that housing is clearly a systems problem, not a one-or-two-variable optimisation problem.

Availability and rental prices depend on a complex network of interacting drivers, not all of which are purely economic, and some of which aren't even local.

Supply and demand storytelling doesn't even begin to come close to providing a useful model of that network.

I wish more developers thought like that. As someone who usually uses hardware that is several years old, I'm always annoyed that my system seems to get worse and worse with every software "update" I do.
Do the gray wires mean anything special? There are a lot going to the north pole.

If that is true and is adopted by app-developers in a non-spammy and non-annoying way I might actually start using it.

So far Google Now has only been Google using up my battery to tell me that my way home, will still take me 20 minutes by car, despite me having exclusively used the subway since before I signed up for Google apps. The one thing it does, it does wrong. That's a 100% failure-rate.

I don't know how much it has cost Google, but so far I would definitely rate it not worth it.
Are business customers able to turn on Google Now for their domain hosted email yet?

I remain without a Gmail account, all of my email passes through several Google Apps accounts. Google Now has been a tease for years... it appears to offer the features I desire, but none of them are available to me.

Email scanning for flight information, appointments, etc... just doesn't happen.

I keep Google Now enabled, but pretty much all it can tell me is where I am, and what the weather is like. But this isn't that useful. I want the rest.
What makes this particularly bad for iOS users is the fact that you cannot delete a wifi connection if you're not there. The interface just doesn't show all your previously authenticated networks.

So imagine that you travel, go to a few hotels and use their wifi networks. Once you're back home, the fact that you used these networks is still broadcast everywhere, and there is no way in the interface to turn that off.
I think saying it's a 'sad state' is a bit dramatic. An 'imperfect state' would be a better description.
