I think maybe I've touched a nerve here, and I'm sorry for that (I'm trying to do that less often on HN in particular) -- all I'm trying to say is that I don't think Sourceforce wants to hurt its users, and that, to me, a guy who works in the computer security industry, is a standard for "malware".

It just seems to me that the term "malware" is being used here intentionally to antagonize, rather than to accurately classify the software being installed by Sourceforge.

Please understand that I am casting no judgement or assessment whatsoever of what Sourceforge is doing -- personally I think they're a dying website that's trying to do whatever they can to make money and stay relevant.

It just intuitively feels wrong to classify China in the same category as Sourceforge.

That was always a fun time. At my college, ttys were globally writable by default for some reason. Once when a professor was demoing something in front of class on his terminal, a few of the haxx0rs slipped out to the computer lab to bomb his tty with ascii art. Good times.
I don't have a photographic memory. If "learning the language" means rote memorization of an inconsistent set of rules for how the fucking code is parsed, then you're goddamn right I'd rather mindlessly insert a character that obviates that.

Thank you. For some inexplicable reason the most obvious solution honestly never occurred to me!

> Yes, we should all armor up before leaving the house. Or maybe just get rid of the thousand-pound blocks of steel and plastic hurtling around, barely controlled, in close vicinity to our mushy bodies.

I would love a world where we—well, maybe not got rid of cars, but at least changed our cities so that they were not the dominant and motivating force; but between accomplishing that, and wearing as much protection as possible, I know that there's only one that I can do today (or, I suspect, in my lifetime).

In Polish, letters ó and u sound exactly the same. There isn't a single case where using ó instead of u would cause a word to be pronounced differently. It's something that apparently used to make a difference centuries ago,but it doesn't anymore, and nowadays even experts in linguistics don't know how exactly it used to sound. And it's exactly the same with "rz" and "ż" - both pronounced in exactly same way.
GitHub has paid plans for private repositories and it can add up to a fair bit of MRR for enterprise organizations. https://github.com/pricing

They also make money off of their job board ($450 a listing) and could probably monetize a lot more here without angering too many users. https://jobs.github.com/
We used this and discovered that our "authenticated" Mailchimp campaigns were actually failing to be validated properly, and some email systems (especially corporate systems with spam filtering appliances like Barracuda) were not delivering our email. DMARC didn't help tell us that our mail wasn't being delivered, per se, but once we made a change (our own spf/dkim records, along with other DNS-related changes) and stopped using Mailchimp's authentication, our following campaigns have seen a higher deliver rate (evidenced by more opens, clicks, and OOF responses for campaigns that aren't fundamentally different).

I'd also recommend, in addition to Postmark's tool (not in place of), checking out https://dmarcian.com. You can use both at once for DMARC aggregate reports, and additionally forward the forensic DMARC reports to dmarcian for analysis.

It's been said before, but email deliverability is hard. Thank goodness tools like this are around to help us mere mortals understand more of it, and protect the repute to of our domains in the process.
I just saw this the other day while researching card ui concepts for an idea I was formulating. On the one hand, I'm very excited about how easy it will be to make a card ui with this. On the other hand, I was kind of sad that I'm coming into card ui so late that it's about to be the next big overused thing.

Hmm, why do you think this makes IBM the technology's "owner"? What do you mean by owner exactly?
Because adding surveillance placards to one of the few remaining untracked modes of transportation is a fantastic idea.

This "make cyclists stop" red herring persists because some drivers have developed stockholm syndrome with the large quantity of unnecessary traffic control devices that have been deployed by committee (most stop signs could be yields, most red arrows could not exist, and at least a third of stop lights could be simply eliminated).

Cyclists are much more in touch with the life and death reality of public roads, because even when following all traffic laws they can easily be killed. Competent cyclists treat red lights and stop signs as yields because there is no downside for anyone - just like drivers who do rolling stops.

And yes, incompetent cyclists exist just like incompetent drivers exist - if you want to defend yourself from being wrongly blamed for an accident with a self-endangering moron in any vehicle, get a dashcam.

And, really, how do we know they are not? Unless we're checking the hash of the download with that provided on Firefox's on website, who even knows what we are installing?

From a company with a history of stuffing adware down our throats.

Edit:

% md5 firefox-*
MD5 (firefox-genuine.dmg) = 71c3d44cd5a612489a70e0f2ef825ba9
MD5 (firefox-sourceforge.dmg) = 71c3d44cd5a612489a70e0f2ef825ba9

So they are the same binary. All we need to do is create a Chrome extension that downloads the binary from both places and checks the hash then tells you if it's safe to download the SF one. Simple!

Note that it took 8 times as long to download the binary from Sourceforge compared to Firefox's own site.

Yes. But the version I have posted is not particularly useful. It only targets OSX and there are probably not many OSX machines running Redis that are directly accessible on the internet. A lot of the code in the patcher is dedicated to parsing the Macho binary so there is a bit of effort in parsing ELF instead if you wanted to port it to Linux. Also, on Linux there are some protections (https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/PointerEncryption) around the longjump buffer that you need to break as well if you want a patcher that won't also kill the Redis instance.
Managers? They don't stop bad code that still solves the problem but they do stop refactoring and other improvements that aren't directly tied to a customer's issue.

Don't forget the track record to get people interested in your ideas. If just about anybody besides Elon Musk had proposed hyperloop, nobody would have paid attention, but when it's a guy who runs a company that routinely puts stuff into space on their own rockets, and runs another company that went from zero to "best car in the world" (in the opinion of many serious car folks) in under a decade, people naturally pay more attention.
Median income is not standard of living. The reason income inequality is trumpeted so much around here is because it is one the few remaining metrics that still work for the worn out everything is getting worse trope. Standard of living is the entire scope not your cherry picked datapoints.
I look at code as biology. It competes in its environment. As it becomes more complex it can fight off all competitors.

Code grows toward irreplaceability. That's why we are surrounded by code that is hard/impossible to replace.

We shouldn't be surprised if code feels like Kudzu after it has been around for 10+ years.
I agree SpaceX recusing itself from winning its own competition is the right thing, but the bit I found interesting was just that they were building a pod as well as the track, putting even more skin in the metaphorical game.

I've had projects before where I came up with an interesting idea but dismissed it as too costly (in time or money or what have you), but it stuck in my head. So then, well maybe I'll just do a quick proof of concept... And then, well, maybe I can hack something a bit more complete together. Eventually, despite myself, it makes it to being a fully formed thing just because it was so interesting I couldn't ignore it.

I'm wondering if the Hyperloop is going to be that sort of thing for Elon et al.
I think this is not so much a "law" as a failure mode. It up to the programmers, objectives, time constraints and economic considerations whether a concerted effort is made to increase code quality or to go for the "quick fix" at the expense of long-term maintainability.
Not to be too flip, but that problem has been solved for centuries. Negotiate better.
It's a pretty crappy analogy.

Well, but Stack Overflow itself is not profitable (AFAIK they have not repaid the $70M). Also, look at the scummy things that Q&A sites like Quora end up doing after they find it difficult to stay afloat. Certainly, I trust Jeff & Joel to be much more ethical, but the new owners might not be.
No, you should buy something that does log analytics for you without shafting your viewers. The existence of deceptive-but-gratis services like GA means there is almost no market for proper analysis software, which is a scandal.
Domain Name Front Running (DNFR) – Dynadot
Well, you have two kinds of progress. One is native speed, which has been heavily sacrificed for the other option: features.

All those new features require processor time, and do more to advance computing then 'faster' does.

No more than anything else. If you're gonna be a dick, then there's a cost to that.

Speculative real estate option, at least until 2007-ish, "real estate only goes up". A lot of approval processes etc are based on $/sqft so obviously if real estate always goes up 10%/yr then you'll make much more money off a 4000 sq ft house than a 1600 sq ft house. So always buy the largest most expensive house the subprime lender will approve to maximize future return. Which works really well as a strategy until prices stop going up, or drop.

There is also a cultural trend aside from any financial issues where big and bland beats small. See SUVs and trucks, or rather stark looking big box CRE architecture.

Factual small scale observations can be made off TV size/resolution vs sofa position. You need a very large living room indeed to handle the angular viewing dimensions of an 80 inch TV. You need a large living room, certainly over 20x20, to pull off 4 player kinect video games (or suffer lots of impact). Empty space is easy to build and cheap (free) to furnish.

There are of course all sorts of ways that a public API can become an entrenched standard (x86, Windows, PHP, JavaScript, C++, HTML, Java). Collectively we call it "lock in".

The thing is, the software wouldn't have been adopted in the first place if it didn't fulfill some need. Evolutionarily speaking, it's better for the cost of removing to be high and the benefit of keeping it to also be high. The most evolutionarily fit would be software that's essential, yet complicated, obscure, and unsexy, so it doesn't attract attention of idealists who will put in sufficient resources into rewriting it.

Even better if it attracts passionate advocates who will fight removal.

Same. I wish we could get a Safari version of uBlock Origin since it does seem like in time it will be the clearly superior version.

Not to knock anyone working on mainline uBlock, but the frustrations of the original developer (justifiable or not) have led him to discontinue contributing code to mainline uBlock.

That's a serious blow to its development . . .

FYI, I would just use Chrome if it didn't just kill battery life on OS X. Don't think I use Safari by choice here . . .

Carlos Slim can't solve anything in Cuba. The problem with Cuba's connectivity is not the economic embargo nor is it technology (Chinese companies can supply everything needed for that). The problem is entirely political and cultural. The regime is already on thin ice, as over 2 million Cubans have access to the state-controlled internet (like clubs or through cafes) or a cell phone.

"The settlement bars Mr Chevalier from misrepresenting any crowdfunding campaign he is involved with and from withholding refunds. It also imposes a repayment order of $111,793.71 that has been suspended because Mr Chevalier does not have enough money to repay it."

So basically, no punishment whatsoever. (I doubt there's any pending criminal charges)
The next sentence should lose the comma as well.

Laser would end up hitting a driver in the eye and causing a wreck.
How what begins?
Fwiw, in Germany in car vs anything squishier incidents the fault is assumed by default to be on the car driver, and only small percentages can be shifted to the other person.

Regardless of whatever obligations the other participants have, the car driver as the operator of the most powerful thing has the supreme obligation to pay attention.
Actually, if you paid for content or made a purchase driven by an ad, this makes you a "high value" lead for advertisers based on their estimation of your disposable income and therefore you are more likely to be targeted with more ads from them to make even more big-ticket purchases.

You can't really escape those pesky advertisers.
Why should they pass you? Or rather, why would it be any different than a slow driver?
What's the point of this comment? I wasn't trying to make a point I was answering the GP's question (which was a good question). The lead hypothesis is common and was examined in the article in more detail. The main reason I added the second link (which included the lead hypothesis) was because it contained the most data I could find - it went back to 1876. The fact it was graphed with lead exposure wasn't at all important, the murder rate data going back to the 1800s was the important part and it answered the question.

uBlock has a lot of external lists as default. I don't think uBlock team maintains the lists, and it just makes sense to include lists created by others. If you made such extension how would you be sure the lists included by default works as intended if you are not going to maintain the lists?

I have today installed uBlock and it didn't block the whole page by default.
Working remotely from anywhere can be great, you just have to research the setup before you go and be prepared.

I've worked remotely from Oregon, Seattle, Singapore, Tokyo and Manila (where I am now). None of the cities except Manila caused any problems once you get around the time zone issue. The Internet in the Philippines is generally slow (averaging 1 mbps) and expensive. I'm not sure if this is due to infrastructure or a monopoly or something, but it's tough to work with a slow, expensive connection especially when you're a web developer.

I manage it by working late at night or early in the morning, when the connection seems to be faster (less people are awake and online). I also keep two different connections handy--one is my mobile data, which I can hotspot and use on my computer, and the other is a portable broadband device. That way, even if one of them loses connection (did I mention in addition to it being slow and expensive, the Internet is unreliable???) I can still work using the other one.

Even with the awful Internet I still get things done in Manila, and if it's possible here it's possible anywhere.

I've preached this for years, and its my ongoing pet project, but patronage really is the endgame for information content.

Pretty much any freelance animator online is already using patreon. Writers, artists, and comedians are using it. I'm surprised its taken this long for news companies to start trying it.

Fundamentally, the information created is not scarce. It is knowledge. It deserves to be free. But the work to create the information is scarce. Valuable. Some might even say worthy of compensation.

There are so many ways you can present patronage to your audience. Hell, advertising honestly is a kind of patronage - your viewership translates into third parties valuing your work enough to pay you for it, so their ads can go along for the ride. But on the other extreme, you could be a writer or animator or comic artist who says "next episode costs $XXXX, when I get that much money I'll produce it / release it". And there is an entire range of other options in between those two, and its really stifling how content creators are still so limited in their options.
Very cool announcement.

It strikes me that this is a pretty good insurance policy against a poor implementation of Hyperloop being used as an argument against its feasibility. SpaceX/Musk gets to put out a proof of concept track and pod without committing to building the full thing themselves.
