Well, with updates to LibreSSL (2.1.7, 2.2.0) getting released today it looks like this has already been addressed. I can't find a decent link at the moment but according to an email I received a bit ago from owner-announce at openbsd.org 1788 is fixed in the above mentioned releases.

Fixes for the following issues are integrated into LibreSSL 2.1.7
and LibreSSL 2.2.0:
- CVE-2015-1788 - Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
- CVE-2015-1789 - Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
- CVE-2015-1792 - CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
(this code is not enabled by default)

Edit - The updates included are mentioned here: https://github.com/libressl-portable/portable/blob/master/Ch...
We will be starting work on a new storage engine or an optimized version of what we have now that will add compression. Tentatively, that will start in the 0.9.3 release cycle.

Doesn't change the fact that you inserted your radical politics into a technical event that you were not planning to attend. You are the fascist here, Steve.
I'd go further and say they need to do the same thing with their vehicles, like in Europe. Police officers and their cars are for public safety, and should be highly visible.

Here's a typical Swedish police car: http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/autopia/images/2008/12/15/...

I think the intention in the US is that cop cars have to be less visible so that they can catch people committing "crimes" in order to fill quotas. The policy should be shifted to prevent or deter people from acting badly, and you can do that be just being more visible.
The Key About Hiring for Startups
Brilliant post, thanks for the information. I had no idea that Mou was so sketchy! As it turns out, I've stopped using Mou because some of the functionality is quite buggy (e.g. it appears that the "save" function executes in the control thread and uses a blocking save operation - because the application freezes for several seconds when saving).

On your advice, I've now switched to MacDown and I'm really very pleased with it indeed.

Thanks again!
> how do you do community policing in the low-income black neighborhoods of Baltimore? How do you rebuild trust?

Time.

Unfortunately trust is earned, and once it is lost it takes twice as long to win back. Baltimore might have issues between the police and community for tens of years to come, but if they start working closely with the community, and actually making changes based on community feedback you may see it turn around slowly.

It may also help to recruit from within the community, more black officers, and more locals in general. That will help sew the bonds of trust between the police and the community (rather than it feeling like us Vs. them).

In general the police need a much better attitude from the top upon down.
Oh, indeed, this makes sense. Well, if that makes you feel better, most EU countries seem to be on the same nefarious track when it comes to global surveillance, and I don't see this kind of cooperation change in the future, whether or not there is a Brexit.
There is a company out of Oregon that did that with geodesic domes (suitable for homes or offices). You poured a concrete slab or basement to their specs before they showed up, and they would unload a semi and setup the dome in one day with an electrician and plumber hooking up the utilities. I know a place that bought two and was amazed at how quick it went and how well they held up to the winter / summer of the northern plains.

Buying, renting, or “Airbnbing” a house. Find if the neighborhood is right
Gave it a quick trial for iOS... doesn't seem great. It doesn't run at all when giving it a whole project (no response, no CPU usage, not even when you feed it BS arguments), it gives a "Starting Analysis" and nothing else for other (simple) files, it doesn't understand the newish 'nullable' keyword, and it will quit with a fatal error if it can't resolve an import (like UIKit), so pretty unusable on single files. I'm not convinced by the bug types it checks for either - doesn't xcode / the Clang analyser do those same checks itself and then some?

Just opened the example in xcode, the analyzer itself already highglights a lot of issues, like the nil dereferencing: http://i.imgur.com/CdiYRYX.png. If it's written in more modern objective-C and supports the nullable/nonnull type, the compiler will also warn / fail to build when trying to assign nil to a nonnull type.

The other part is the excessive hero worship, also driven by the War on Terror. The "support the troops" conversation stopper has extended to law enforcement and any other public-facing service job, to the point where it's impossible to have a civil debate about the military, police, teachers, or anyone, without offending someone just for bringing up the topic.
I also like the subdued flag patch and ACUPAT trousers. Really sells the hipster "Ramadi 2006" vintage look.

You say this as if people are looking for an excuse to riot. No one wants a riot, it's bad for the participants, the police, the community, and the local economy. The only winners are looters.
Sorry, but this trend seems to have started with changes in the War on Drugs in the '70s, and the popularization of SWAT teams. It was certainly very strong before 9/11.

The irony is that the only way to have had a shot at making the Afghan and Iraq campaigns successful would have been to use the old-fashioned beat-cop tactics: de-escalation, peace-keeping and what is now called "community outreach" (which used to just be "knowing folks").

If you mean using frameworks to display data, then yes. For anything substantial I'd use ramda over lodash.
When you attack the hypothetical like that, you're generally missing the point. Assume a more inconvenient hypothetical - say, a CS degree from MIT.
That has happened in the past, when the P2SH proposal was batted around, pools voted, and people did switch based on their politics.

More often though, miners will have a main pool and backup pools based on uptime.

In the scrypt mining world, pool hopping happened (happens?) for economic reasons; hash -> litecoin variant -> USD (or BTC)-denominated return is continually optimized. This caused some wild swings in mining difficulty for some scrypt-based coins as their exchange rates changed.
what setup do you use?
Yes. Also, installing the command line tools on a pristine system is easy and does not require downloading Xcode. Typing cc in Terminal will pop up a dialog box that will offer to install the CLT.
How sad to see such a thoughtless outburst, with fabricated facts, unsubstantiated assertions, and avoiding the real questions.

For people curious where the clustering support stands:

"From the InfluxDB clustering design doc we’ve implemented the write path to replicate data to other nodes. We’ve implemented the per write request consistency levels and hinted handoff, ensuring that server reboots and short outages are quickly recovered from and consistency is restored.

What’s missing are anti-entropy, distributed queries, joining new servers to a cluster, and tools for replacing servers in a cluster. We’ll start development on some of these features in the 0.9.1 release cycle and more in the 0.9.2 cycle. They will be merged into releases once they’re stable and tested."

My belief is that it's primarily about access to one resource. Wombs. Everything else is ancillary.

What makes a racist more irate than anything? Seeing one of "Them" with one of "Our" women.

Denying good housing, education and employment to the "other" group will make them less able to compete for females from "our" group.

There are versions of this on display in the animal kingdom as well. Male lions are known to kill cubs sired by other males so that they can replace them with their own offspring. In the Gombe Chimpanzee War, females were kidnapped, raped and killed as a method of destroying the "other" group.

I also agree, humanity has come a long way and is getting better.
"Everything done is the U.S. takes more time and costs a lot more money."

We have one of the best cargo rail networks in the world. That is what we chose to build. If high-speed rail was going to be profitable as cargo, it would be built (check Texas for an attempt).

On the other subject, China doesn't care what its citizens think beyond keeping them from revolting. They are dictating a policy.

The value of the feature to the alleged monopolist is irrelevant to the FTC/DOJ, solely the impact on competition. If the primary way consumers consume information is shifting to mobile, and the premier mobile platform inhibits mobile advertising except their its own built-in advertising system, then the FTC/DOJ can use that as the start of the investigation.

Given the speed DOJ and FTC move for monopoly investigations I doubt anything will happen before the market is already significantly changed and/or damaged.
Police are murderous thugs. Their pensions should be cut and department budgets gutted.

US police kill about three people a day, and shoot and harrass many more and all with hardly any consequences. They even openly operate 'blacksites' where people are detained without rights and tortured, sometimes even killed.

These are not the hallmarks of a free society, it is the symptoms of fascist military rule.

If their goal is hiring from industry, as opposed to from schools, I think I could credibly defend an argument that they don't.

(I think what they do now makes sense if they want the top of their funnel to be comprised mostly of recent CS grads, and I think that industry people with really high profiles, or that internal people really want, get to skip a lot of this evaluation.)

I have a lot of respect for Google (how could you not). That doesn't mean they can't be a bit clownshoes with recruiting.

And law enforcement weren't "heroes" before 9/11???

Now, I'm probably older than you, old enough to have watched the first run of hagiographic Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. F.B.I. TV series that ran until 1974, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_F.B.I._(TV_series) ), but I assure this is nothing new. E.g. I can remember more than a few debates I had with co-workers in the '90s on the War on Drugs, I said we could have that, or a free nation, but they were so petrified by the prospect of their children doing drugs that they preferred they'd live in an eventual police state.

EDITED: added eventual, since this was in the context of where we were going, still a confirmed trend two decades later.

well its likely that interest in smart watches might lead people to getting into "archaic" watches as many as much art as function.

it is a problem to those involved in the collecting, selling, and trading, of watches. the issue here is that you may not see it as worthwhile market but there those who do and considering the sums involve niche markets like this could very well be profitable.

the surest way to not succeed is to close doors before you go through them. there are many areas where small markets exist that are just waiting to be served. establish a model that works at this size and expand outward. everyone's first hit cannot be facebook sized and some never will have such a hit but you can create success and personal satisfaction if you set goals and reach them, just don't set goals where your comparing yourself to others achievements.

He's saying the community solved it, and the Go Team is using the best ideas from the community to start implementing a solution built into the Go tools.

This has been their policy from the start. The Go team knows that Google tends to handle dependency management differently from your standard project, so they left it to the community to help build and decide which tools and ideas work best for dependency management. Several have arisen, and the Go team has started implementing some of those ideas.

Aha, figured it out. When you switch away from the tab, Chrome reduces the play speed, which is why it sounded different and like slowly banged out minor chords.
I believe you showed in one of your demonstrations (or someone else showing ramda), a very simple elegant example:

> sum = reduce(add, 0)
> sum([1,10,20])

With something like trine, composition can only happen really happen at usage-time, while with Ramda it allows you to reason about the operations separate from the data. I suppose trine could achieve the same by further complicating with some sort of dummy data:

sum = __placeholder__.reduce(add, 0);
[1,10,20].::sum()

But this gets difficult because __placeholder__.reduce itself needs to return something that can be chained (certainly doable to return a function that is also a dummy object I suppose?). But anyways, to me this starts looking more and more complex, and making it harder to reason about constructing (composing) NEW functions from existing ones.
Sadly every time I have ended up at a project that uses Indiegogo it seemed to be projects whom kickstarter wouldn't touch. Are their rules that much different? The most well known one I found there was that solar roadways group.

Perhaps Photos is retrieving data which has an embedded signature, making SSL irrelevant? Or the data isn't security-critical anyway (e.g, it's checking for a news splashscreen or something). The point is, simply using unencrypted communications doesn't necessarily mean the application is insecure.

Personally, I think having everything be a single expression is actually a really great idea, I call this language "terrible" mostly because I can easily come up with ways to improve it, such as making a stdlib and allowing you to index into dictionaries with expressions and not just string constants, but doing so would take too much time away from other, more practical, projects.

My secondary reason for calling it terrible is the dynamic scoping, which I personally believe makes it hard to debug, allows for bugs to be introduced from far away, and makes life hell for optimizing compilers.

I'm not sure what the difference between every block returning an expression and having access to it is; can you clarify?

Good documentation is really something that's been beaten into me by getting a full-time job as a software engineer. Partly through coworkers giving a hard time during code reviews to poorly documented code, partly through trying to maintain decade old spaghetti code and realizing how much it sucks when there's no documentation, and partly through realizing how much of the job is about good communication.

Our code review process:

- starts as a pull request (we use git-flow strategy)

- Pull request is announced in our team slack channel via integration

- 2 devs must sign off before merge; 3 if branch is from our outsourced team in India.

- Github project wiki contains an outline of the type of criteria to keep an eye out for, mostly syntax & patterns not caught by our linter config

- All feedback is considered optional

- Devs are encouraged to take conversations offline if a comment thread takes off on a particular item

- Team leader handles the merge after devs signoff on PR
If that's what you believe, you don't need to invent arguments about how tiny amounts of tritium are going to cause mass extinctions. Just say "I don't trust TEPCO that it's just tritium" and leave it at that. Surely there's something --- large amounts of pure plutonium? --- we can all agree shouldn't be dumped into the ocean.
It's solved in the sense that the community has converged on a particular approach, and now we are supporting that approach in the go tool.

Yeah, most civilized people prefer a democratic process in regards to the safety of their family in their dwellings. Autocratic and dictatorial tricks are cute, but come at the cost of safety, health, etc. Not to mention the limited ability to petition the autocratic government over these things.

I can't express how grateful and refreshed I am to hear a builder say such a thing. Especially coming as I am from the U.S., where we seem to specialize in building shit designed for obsolescence without a thought toward maintainability or recycling.

There may be a bit of light appearing at the end of the American tunnel; New York's "B2" building, built by developer Forest City Ratner (FCS), is 32 stories of stacked modular apartments. Hope this catches on
