I'm agree that there's a passion among developers for such contests in Moscow, too. But my point is that this is not something "prestigious" and as a consequence a reason why many people "spending a lot of time" for it.

I mean you will not get any major benefits for investing in this, or something. It's interesting but not must-have for a professional developer. And that's why I not see a lot of people around coding contest-like tasks instead of, for example, contibuting to open source or doing freelance job, etc.

I can't seem to get started with this. Their seed repo does not allow me to clone it with the git command. And when using the init functionality as displayed on the front page there is no way to actually setup the damn webserver.

Unfortunately, I am very displeased by the first experience. Chances are that this is also my last experince.

Interesting article. This is good, but for chat applications, I feel Lambda is exactly the technology to be not used unless you have deep pockets. The number of S3 PUT requests for caching chat messages will eventually grow high as the chat app scales.

What the world can learn from Denmark's failed fat tax (2012)
Since you can call target process functions from GDB, it would be interesting to have some form of "emergency dump" function you could call, to get out the data even though the process as a whole has hung.

This would have the benefit by being implemented in the target process itself, so it could of course have full knowledge of the data structures and so on. It could potentially be way better than a raw (manual) memory-level inspection.

That would of course be quite hard to implement in a general (and large) server-type process, but it might be useful even if less than perfect.

I/O might become a problem, so perhaps just format the data in RAM, then let the debugger read it out. The RAM itself might be pre-allocated to ensure that it exists at the point of failure (when heap allocations likely won't work very well).

Has anyone done this?

EDIT: On second thought, I guess it becomes unwieldy for real-world use cases due to the volume of data. I wouldn't want to pre-allocate multiple GBs of RAM to use an export buffer for some database server, of course. Paging ... Hm.

I think confirmation count isn't so useful when one person or pool owns something close to 50% of the hashing power. Everyone gets complacent because they can't launch a 51% attack, but it's possible for someone with 40% of the power to effectively pull off the exact same attack for a span of six blocks. It is improbable, but not that improbable.
I like the article BUT it doesn't articulate one important and pragmatic variable: price and how to move from your product price perspective to the enterprise price one. The same product you sell by unit for $ X can be sold for more than $ 20 * X (including support and etceteras) in the enterprise.

That is not so obvious for a product oriented person unexperienced in enterprise selling. For example, you should now that your one-click installation and easy configuration demands a lot of resources on a company.

Another variable not articulated is your cost of selling to these enterprises: salesman + pre-sales engineer + engineers working on the PoC, etc.
I didn't explain my point very well. What I was trying to say was how can "laptop manufacturers that refuse to offer the 16GB RAM upgrade option" (as izacus put it) be considered market segmentation (as AceJohnny2 said in his reply to izacus). It's not a segment to those that don't sell anything to them, and because they don't sell to them, they have no (first-hand) data on how big that segment might be if they were to sell to it.

Burglarizing MIT was the right thing to do. This is true, regardless of whether or not you find it inelegant.
I'm not sure I'm looking at the example you're looking at, but generally: a Flexbox layout will defer to the content, where when you're laying out on a grid, you want the content to defer to the grid. By giving an explicit width, you tell the browser that, in this case, the specified width is what's most important for the layout.

After re-assessing our analytics a couple of weeks ago, we decided it was safe to drop support for IE9 and below. Since then, we found ourselves using more and more Flexbox for layout. Just a simple thing like vertical centering becomes much easier with Flexbox. The sticky footer technique from the website (https://philipwalton.github.io/solved-by-flexbox/demos/stick...) is also something that we use on the Hstry application.
I think we are in massive agreement here. Sleep can be used as crutch inappropriately, but when you have a broken leg a crutch is exactly what you need.

I'm not aware of much specific risks from anodised aluminium cookware compared to plastics or other metals. The biggest risks of dissolution are acidic foods and wet food sitting in the pan, neither of which is an issue with coffee capsules.

Furthermore, the WHO estimates that one can safely ingest up to 50mg of aluminium per day and the FDA hasn't even bothered setting an upper limit, cooking a whole meal in aluminium pans may leach 1~2mg of aluminium in the food.

There are health risks to breathing aluminium dust, but most people aren't going to snort their coffee capsules.
I get what you're saying, although while I personally am far from a coffee aficionado I certainly can tell the difference w/ a lot of their tomfoolery. The same can not be said w/ the audiophile stuff, not at all.

I dabble with fancy coffee now that I've got a few solid shops on my commute to work (the rest of the times I'm stopping at Dunkin Donuts, lest you think I'm more of a snob than I think) and my own personal policy is that for whatever variable X is involved that I'll only continue with X as long as I can tell a noticeable & pleasant difference. So for instance, I'll only get pourovers at places where I notice a difference between that and the standard (which implies quality of technique, according to the coffeenistas), or whatever beans they're using for a pourover if my reaction is "meh" I'll not get it again but other times I'll get it multiple times a day until they run out.

Agreed that this is all anecdotal and not double blind, and agreed that short of nuking things from orbit that double blind is the only way to be sure. However, as someone with very little skin in this game other than sometimes I want something better than Dunks, I can tell you that some variables matter to me and some don't.

Mozilla failed really badly here and honestly I'm not sure if they can ever win back my trust after this. Even though I've read through the tech docs released and I know it's not like they are sending your history all over, it's the way they decided to do this that undermined all their efforts so far.

"you don't home brew because it's cheap or convenient or even better than store bought."

I agree w/ your general premise about it being for the hobby (that's 90% of why I homebrew) but disagree with the above statement. I've known homebrewers who absolutely brew because it's cheap - I'm sure you've encountered them as well. These are the people who calculate the price per ounce and then proudly talk about how their Great Homebrew is cheaper than Crappy Macrolager. I know many people who do it because it's better than store bought, although that's becoming harder to justify as craft beer becomes better & more ubiquitous it's exceeding the capabilities of many homebrewers.

Another factor you left out, and what originally led me to homebrewing, is homebrewing because not all styles are easy to come by at the store. I started brewing because it was the only way I could taste certain things without traveling to their homelands.

If your algorithm is really better at predicting outcomes than bookmakers are (which it must be, if you are winning money from bookmakers), then you should be selling this to bookmakers instead of punters. I suspect you would be able to make a lot more money that way.

The problem is that it is a black box. Intel has added the ability to seed the generator (rdseed), but it does not really reduce the issue of trust.

If you can seed it then it is not a true random number generator but a pseudo random number generator.

Also the rdseed instruction does not allow you to seed the generator but instead allows you to generate seeds for other (pseudo random) generators.
Former Pornhub Lead dev here, the media industry experts are right. There are no more occurrences of DB leaks than in mainstream.

But there are many more companies out there than pornhub and quite a few of those have serious security issues.

Maybe this is because quite a few porn companies still operate on software that is rather long in the tooth.

Solved by Flexbox creator here. I wanted to add that if you're using flexbox today, you should also check out this other repo of mine:

> Many technologies these days are sold directly to the LoB, and IT's only involvement is a security audit, data recovery strategy, and integrating the new app into SSO.

Don't forget "trying to deal with the fallout a businessperson buys something without consulting IT". Classic facepalm situation.

It's a good idea to make sure that all the stakeholders (including IT) are involved at an early stage, to make sure that any obstacles to deployment can be avoided (or, at least, spotted in advance). An engaged, friendly IT department can help grease the skids for an enterprise sale; a hostile one can scupper it.

> ..these organizations are less mature when it comes to understanding "roadmap vision" - they're a lot more aligned to, "What can I do now?" and "What will I be able to do in six months?"

I think this is partly down to a certain amount of skepticism regarding salespeople's promises.

> Those same processes also created jobs where the sole purpose was to justify their existence and increased overall complexity.

I think that's a little bit harsh (but not necessarily untrue!). Any organisation that grows above a certain size is going to have bureaucracy and red tape. For organisations of a certain age, the legacy IT infrastructure (and particulrly the extent to which business processes rely on it) presents a challenge to change (including deploying new products).

That is both sad and very interesting. I have a similar problem with finding people to go running with me around where I live. Meetup groups around here are spread over a 50 mile radius or so, so that's no help. Perhaps I can try the opposite approach and post "hey, looking for a running buddy" on Match.com, OkCupid, AFF, etc.
That's interesting, but none of the complaints the poster you're responding to brought up had to do with matrix multiplication or garbage collection.
Hard disks are simple enough that recovery might be practical. Ditto for optical media, assuming the materials are intact.

SSDs on the other hand won't last 6 months without power, let alone 2000 years.
This sort of attitude also seems to lead to a culture of doing lots of relatively large rewrites all the time which seems like one of the more wasteful and dangerous aspects of software development.

Also, since people swoop in and make their change then leave it is very hard to maintain a culture of constant improvement of the code/design. So eventually everything falls apart under the weight of tech debt and no one is even around to learn from it.
