I see the purpose of this as more preventative. I can create a contstraint for (Exception == "x1") { throw Exception when (x1 == "<filepath>")} Now I can understand why'd you'd be alerted of this however this would cause parallel processing latency when it comes to the concurrnt evaluation of when expecptions can occur instead of code exceution itself. So instead why not run the code and create log block that for (Exceptions == true) { while (i = 0, i < y.length, i++) then y= x.length x= write.push(<sys.path>), result = println(x.trace) }

I believe this will be more effiencient than an excess of concurrent filters.

Cheers, indeed. (Sorry about the edit . . . it's the way I think). Happy we're in agreement.

Part of my problem with Agile is that my bad experiences have made me cynical and somewhat allergic to it. I react badly to being micro-managed and gamed by managers who are fundamentally out of touch with the reality of writing software, and who are interested in making the deck hands row ever faster so they can look good.
My comments on third party vendors are only applicable to websites.

In the 70's and early 80's economical small Japanese cars were bought in droves. Replacing the giant US gas gusslers of the 60's and 70's.

90's, 2000's oil got cheap again (or was in supply at least) and what was the hottest car model?, gigantic gas gussling SUV's?

We move away from high prices. That is all.

And what the government has been moving away from since the 70's is dependence on foreign oil. A small part of which is renewables and efficiency. But larger part has been domestic production nukes and natural gas (which US has lots of).

Terminal Snapshots: Immutable Deployments
What I'd probably do would be to have the JS in the button capture some user driven events such as mouse positions and click characteristics. If they had great foresight, they could have already been doing this for the previous 700k clicks.

With a reasonably sized observation pool, they could compare subsequent clicks and detect outliers.

I think it would be hard to circumvent since people attempting to reverse engineer wouldn't have the observation pool to know what signals Reddit admins were modeling. The biggest downside I can think of is that there would be some delay before calling out a cheater depending on the reliability of the model.

The client side JS could detect the lack of an event capture payload and warn legitimate users after they unlock but before they click so they wouldn't be flagged due to browser incompatibility or JS restrictions from a security policy or privacy extension.
He's a good resource for beginner's advice.
Actually, I think a related but better question is, what would technology look like without the assumption of a stable base-load of electricity on the grid? What if your power availability simply went up and down depending on the wind, or cloud cover, or the tides.

There's a kind of poetry I think, a kind of awareness, that your devices may spin up and down with the seasons instead of marching incessantly and unstoppably onward.

I don't know, I'm always amazed out how much comp sci was already pioneered in the 50s and 60s. This demo blew my mind, particularly considering the tools they had to work with and invent.. I would have preferred an article exploring the significance of the tech on display though rather than the surface treatment and coverage of the "reenactment".

I think WFH is great for individual contributors (especially software engineers) that are a fraction of a team that has some people who go into the office every day. It can be a really easy way to let those people focus and be productive without arbitrary hours.

However I have seen what happens at a company that is all-remote and it can be a disaster. My girlfriend worked remote for Cisco for 2 years and almost nothing got done. The latency on all-email communication was too high and you never knew what was going on because nobody had a full picture of the state of the project. It was a total mess.
Why not wood? You can easily build wood fires hot enough to work refined aluminum (all those cans, good for something!), copper (rip out the plumbing and wires en masse, it won't be pure but it'll be close enough), tin, and zinc; with copper, tin, and zinc those you can create bronze and brass. Iron would be out of the question with simply a wood fire, but--assuming other knowledge was intact, of course--you could build a forced-draft charcoal burner which can easily get hot enough to melt down some forms of iron.

When I started thinking about this problem I was expecting it to be a tough one, but I think it's achievable.
Meditation has been an invaluable tool for me in fighting distraction. Investing a small amount of time practicing everyday yields huge returns in the long run. As the forces competing for your attention become stronger in the coming years, the ability to maintain focus will become more valuable. I see programs that block websites as only treating the symptoms of lack of focus, whereas meditation is a way to directly develop the skills to overcome it.
This is great advice - thank you for it! I'll add the "about" page to give the project context, a differentiating feature list, and a "preview" page that is a duplicate of what the conversation page looks like in the application.

Thanks for your input!
It's worth noting that, in a lot of companies without an established work-from-home culture, you need to over-communicate in order to compensate for the lack of physical presence in the office. As the saying goes, when you're out of sight, you tend to be out of mind. Therefore you always have to remind people that you're in front of your computer or on the phone busting your ass, instead of watching TV or taking a nap, which is what people assume you're doing by default because that's what they would be doing if they were at home.
It was partially funded by the US too, until everyone realized what a monster it was.
I think they watermark a corner to clue the person receiving it in on the fact that it is watermarked.
I've had a job where I can work from home whenever I'd like for about a year and a half now. This has also been my experience. I feel socially deprived when I work from home for more than two days in a row. After two days I want to go back to the office. There are just 3 of us here in the office, so we don't always say much, but still. Putting on real pants, walking up the block for some lunch, etc. works wonders.

I read that line as the opposite, that only Marco Rubio's site requires SNI support to access (hence the red checkmark on his, and the green Xs on the others, suggesting that requiring SNI is bad). Although I admit that line confused me at first.

The footnote is also suggestive that this is the correct interpretation.

At the risk of feeding a troll, re-read SquareWheel's comment because I don't think that your criticism applies at all.
I looked into stenography for a client who had a problem with audio being leaked by the users of his service. Even though there is a lot less signal in audio, it was trivial to encode a 32-bit pattern throughout the audio track in such a way that it was not discernible to his well-trained ears, and yet it would survive being encoded as a 64kbps MP3. We also checked pushing it through an analog loop, since that was most likely how his tracks were being pirated.

The pattern would repeat throughout the song (I think once per minute) such that only a small sample was necessary to recover the pattern. It also had enough check bits that it was impossible to get the wrong code; either you'd get back the right code or nothing. This was all done with COTS software (a command-line executable) that could be licensed for a few hundred dollars.

My client ultimately decided not to add stenography. He believed that his users would be upset with the possibility that there was some quality loss due to the process, as they were paying a lot of money to have high-definition tracks. He thought the losses from the discovery that he was applying stenography would exceed the ongoing loss from piracy.
Countries still block websockets from other countries. We don't use pure websockets because AJAX polling still works even when firewalls and other hardware stop websockets.
> the boost dependency is an immediate "oh hell no"

Can you expand on that?
Does all the math littering this post add anything? "Add a few ms variation to each each scene" seems extremely self-explanatory, and so does the concept that only a few bits per scene are needed to produce a meaningful number of variations.
Keep in mind you don't know what the features and directions of your product should be until you talk to your customers and understand what roadmap will fit their needs. For every DropBox there are hundreds of failures that didn't get it right about whom we never heard about.

Let's say your consulting pays for the time of one engineer while your investors pay for another one. If you stop your consultancy, your workforce will have to be slashed by 50%. Unless the custom development job is focusing on features that add no value to the product for other customers, this is insanity.

True - and then what? The leaked episodes may have been stolen or can be claimed to have been stolen.

Anyway, the horses have bolted and the damage is done.
See my reply to your comment in a sibling thread. A wood fire can hit 1050C. There's plenty of easily-available metal in that range, and building a forced-draft charcoal burner will get you to 1350C. Iron melting points start around 1150C; steel is probably out of the question, but that doesn't mean much.

I have a question. For those working from home, how did you get your job? I'd love a job where I could work free from the distractions of an office. But I'm not a programmer. I'm a copywriter / marketer. And all my remote work has come from freelance gigs. I'd love full time employment with a remote company, but most jobs I see are for programmers. So how did you find remote work?

This is an extremely cynical comment. First, hard-line profit/cost center thinking is falling out of fashion at top MBA schools like Harvard and has been for years. But also, a reasonable MBA would be able to recognize when the tech team is actually creating value vs. when they are dead weight that could be outsourced. And, it's really myopic (and the kind of thing that people make fun of engineers for) to believe that tech is the only ones adding value. Value (perceived, communicated) is potentially created all up and down the chain.
People will often listen to the ones with higher perceived status often regardless of the facts.

Beginnings are, pretty much by definition, largely mysterious and chaotic, intimate, and disorganized. I have a tremendous respect for those qualities - without them we'd not have computers or even ourselves to talk to. We wouldn't exist.

Overall, in my view, the feminine represents the creative process - the ability to discover and establish new directions. It's the way to achieve any kind of change. Is there anything more valuable?

The idea though is that by making the beginning of a computing experience more closely align with where we actually are as individuals, the ramp-up is much less steep than it is now. I say it's steep because of my observations of people who are not long-time techies - just regular folk who are afraid of computers and abhor detail. People taking classes and using command lines are already well along their journey.

Exactly.

My company is 100% virtual, and we've been WFH for about 4 years. I remember taking an official day off with my family, where we met up with another family for a fun outing. The other dad (who worked for a non-WFH company) was "working from home" while we were out enjoying ourselves.

A few thoughts dredged up:

- Coldly, the US citizens and companies broadly views the internet as a way to make cash, and generally will pursue that.

- Free speech concerns and the decentralized power of the internet are of interest to "damn fool idealists", as Kenobi might say. Not your major business powers. Google's play is very revealing here...

- China is extremely interested in their own sovereignty and control of the China-sphere, with soft power exercised elsewhere.

The obvious easy way forward is for companies to capitulate to Beijing and let the cash flow. This is likely the most common occurrence today. Some companies will take the higher road, particularly the more idealistic ones with fat cash bags.

The argument that the State department should be involved is probably the correct one, but one wonders exactly what leverage can be applied, since China has spent decades building local apps and infrastructure.

I would be extremely interested in tokenadult's take on this, as he is very familiar with China.
Individuals in Saudia Arabia who are against the monarchy. Not the Saudi government per se. Although the lines are certainly blurred when you consider that both the US and Saudis funded 'moderate' rebels in Syria, many of whom weren't so moderate and joined ISIS. And then of course Qatar and Turkey have also funded and assisted various rebel groups in Syria, many of whom are now ISIS as well.
Things like this are what I point to when people talk about JVM-style optimization as being the be-all and end-all.

Because things just work... Until they don't. And then good luck figuring out what's happening, and attempts to bandaid patch over it will just make things worse later.

This is happened anyway, and they are capturing none of this possible revenue. Even if only one person purchased the early access and leaked it to everyone else they'd still be one sale better off than they currently are.
> I see right away one Agile defect: It prefers near-term "user story success" over long-term investments like creating debuggable architecture.

Neither the Agile Manifesto nor even the far more specific Scrum Guide even refers to user stories.

A particular organization using Scrum may decide that architecture-related concerns are not important in the definition of "done" for items in their product backlog, and focus only on "user story success", but, to the extent that that's a problem, that's not a Scrum (and much less, Agile) problem, its an organization problem.

Agile is about what concerns you favor in figuring out how to get work done, Scrum is about how a team gets work done and defines the work it is to do within the framework provided by the wider organization, but the specific definition of quality standards for work is not directly addresses by either.

> Why spend time now making things easier for the rest of the cycle if it's not a priority in this iteration?

Why wouldn't an organization have maintaining (or improving) the overall architectural standards of the work a priority for every iteration -- in Scrum terms, part of the Sprint Goal -- unless there is a conscious decision to take on technical debt to meet some other goal? Agile, or even Scrum, doesn't tell you what goals to set, and you shouldn't blame them for you choosing to set the wrong goals.

> Can someone help me understand the negative impact of this leak?

The best way to deal with piracy is by offering a better experience to customers than to pirates. Here, that would be HD + not having to look for a torrent server that isn't currently blocked in your country. Just as people rarely try to evade paying their train/tube tickets unless they're broke: their time and convenience isn't worth that sort of hassle.

Had it been a leak of one episode hours before it aired, it wouldn't have been detrimental to HBO. But 4 episodes at once mean pirates can get one month worth of binge watching, which is _the_ thing people want and TV channels can't offer. That means many paying HBO customers will watch the pirated version and ask themselves why they keep paying their subscription. Even those who choose not to watch the leaked versions, will no doubt experience some amount of frustration due to having to make that choice. And their are other minor inconveniences, such as having to avoid spoilers on forums.

Your point would have been completely valid, had GoT been produced by a binge-friendly media such as Netflix, though.

Well, 2/3rds of the people in a Scrum team were essentially dead weight, in my experience. They made work.

In one org, the devs were excluded from the planning meetings, which is pretty much all you need to know about how badly Scrum went off the rails.

"Okay, you're signed up for X, Y and Z, it'll take you two weeks, and tell us every morning about your progress."

"So, you're late. Is that what you're saying?"
