Interestingly, I feel the same way about my ADHD. I distinctly remember a Calculus test in which I learned what I was supposed to have learned through study and in class (neither of which I cared for or participated in) by looking at the context of several questions and answers and reverse engineering the process without having been taught it (or without having paid attention to the teaching). My grades weren't great, but my test scores kept me afloat.

And now that I program, I do so very differently than most people, but there are times when I'm in my stride (for example, pitching to investors or juggling the pieces of managing a team) where I feel at home. Like no one can touch me.

Sorry for changing the title, but the page title didn't really convey how serious this is. There is an additional post on the ISC site which says:

"Many of our bugs are limited in scope or affect only users having a particular set of configuration choices. CVE-2015-5477 does not fall into that category. Almost all unpatched BIND servers are potentially vulnerable... The practical effect of this is that this bug is difficult to defend against (except by patching, which is completely effective) and will not be particularly difficult to reverse-engineer."

Safari is just a wrapper around WebKit which is an open source project with many contributors. Yes the engine may be deficient in some areas or make choices not supported by other engines but I have never seen any malicious intent to destroy the web or undermine the standards.
Perhaps this is not the answer you are looking for but I wouldn't start a business just based on how much money I had in my pocket. I'd start a business based on what markets are within my reach, based on connections, skills etc..

Except this wouldn't work well when you are an advertiser looking to advertise on hundreds of medium size sites simultaneously. That's one of the reasons middlemen like ad networks exist in the first place, so that you don't have to contact, negotiate and set up advertising with every single site individually.

Depends on what you mean by a "real" workload.

Capturing and indexing the entire web is certainly a real workload, even if it is massively psrallelizable, so it would probably run equally well on Google's infrastructure as on a supercomputer because those fast interconnects wouldn't provide much advantage, right?

However,when simulating a nuclear explosion or a weather system (maybe that's what you mean by "real" workloads?), the heavy node-to-node communication makes the supercomputer much, much better suited.
If you don't feel like enabling superuser (root) on the devices you own for system-wide ad blocking, Firefox for Android lets you install AdBlock Plus/Edge/etc. like any other extension and works quite well in my experience. When they stopped allowing those addons in mobile Chrome I started using mobile Firefox as my main browser and have been perfectly satisfied.

But yeah, if you don't mind setting it up so you can grant superuser permissions to something like Adfree Android, you get system-wide ad blocking which also gets rid of ads in most apps. Still, I haven't bothered in a while because good apps don't include really obnoxious ads and the good ones that offer free versions with unobtrusive ads deserve to make some money. If they're truly good apps, then I sorta feel bad when I don't even notice I'm using the free version because ads are blocked. There are a handful of apps where I fired them up on a new device before setting up Adfree and was reminded that I really ought to just shell out the $2-3 for the full version.

Lol, did you just censor the word "pissed"?
They will only break if people have manually installed an ad blocker. I imagine this will be the vast minority of users, but will give the content owners and ad networks a reason to think about what they are doing to the UX of their website.

You know, while I agree that these problems are mitigated somewhat by making the exam optional, I don't think this alone solves all the problems associated with this approach. I still think that asking candidates to spend, say, 5-7 hours on something is a big deal, even if you give them a choice to take a different path.

I'm not inherently opposed to technical tests, either in person or take home exams. I believe that many exam-based institutions adhere to a code (probably unwritten) that grants certain rights to the examinee. Think about exams in college, where stakes can actually be quite high.

Think about exams at a university. Typically the subject matter and nature of exam questions is available in advance. The grader is highly competent in the field. An associated study path is available for the exam. The exam will be graded and scored, and those scores will be communicated to the student within a set time frame. Feedback will be provided to the student. The exam is part of achieving a lasting credential, such as credit for a course on a transcript.

None of these things exist in technical exams, and in many ways, this increases the stress. Merely making an exam "optional" doesn't erase all these problems. I think this is the core problem with technical exams, they contain all of the stress for the student, but have none of those rights that I believe exist in universities and other exam-based institutions for a good reason.
Indeed, there are many things that could be improved about the current system. I am personally hoping that the uptake in ad blocking software will lead publishers to diversify their revenue streams and find better ways to monetize their content. Companies like Blendle are making great progress in that direction and I hope we will see more innovation in that space.
I would venture to say that the relentless push to move as much as possible to the client has much more impact on battery life than the handful of ads we typically see.
True, but I don't think it necessarily follows that they'd pay for the same content digitally.

One thing the web has shown us is that people still value tangible things differently to non-tangible things.

You also have to consider the reason's people paid for newspapers... it might have been the only way to get reliable content... to purport a certain image, social status or political allegiance... to keep in-line with peers - did you see this? did you read that?.. simply to pass time.

If you have a smartphone and five minutes to waste, you can cover all those bases without paying for a news article. You can use Facebook, Reddit, Youtube and discussion forums for subjects that interest you, for example.

Remember in the 90s when online store catalogues were pretty much just uploads of print catalogues - designed with pages of content and no search functionality. Or when people tried to make 'online malls' - directories of stores people might want to use in one visit, like they would a brick and mortar mall? They didn't work because the analog to digital conversion isn't just a straight upload process. It's much more complicated than that.

People interact with and consume digital content different to paper content. Just uploading and charging a few pence to read isn't going to work IMHO.
The extrapolation in the linked graph pretty clearly doesn't track increases after 2012 correctly. Tracking the past 3-4 years puts 2019 at around 600PF.
Another option is to use something like AdFree Android which includes a hosts file/blacklist that is frequently updated if you don't feel like making your own.
I don't necessarily disagree, but there's also the possibility that mobile (and touch) is just a generally worse interface for navigation and content that a laptop or desktop PC.

It has been a while since I used a phone or even an iPad for anything, the quality of the interface seems more like a gimmick or something that you would only use as a last resort. To me touch is the part that doesn't work, combined with the small screen size.

The "AFAIK" is key here. These days there is an "increase" of ASD cases mostly because the diagnostic was extended to cover Highly Functional cases.

Here's a trick: if asked "how are you?" by an American, and you're not fine and/or don't want to pretend to be fine, shrug your shoulders and say:

"Same old, same old."

(As in, it's another day full of the same old problems as yesterday.)

This will prompt the American to make a generalized expression of sympathy over the countless petty indignities of life, without feeling a need to inquire as to exactly what specific problems you're dealing with.
No but typically applications on iOS are more likely to off a non-ad supported version. So perhaps they just mean in general.

Seconding Firefox with uBlock. Mozilla has made a big push, and Firefox for Android is a really great experience these days.
I'm a bit more torn on this one. I've used Adfree Android before in this way but for the most part, if an app is good, I'll buy the full version. If it's something I just use a few times for a single purpose (and it's still useful), I'd like the dev to at least see some payment for it. If it's utter shit and full of obtrusive and annoying ads, I'd rather just uninstall it and give it a bad rating.
I wouldn't call ad blocking feature "revolutionary", but whatever.

It's well known that Clarkson is a fan of the booze to the point where you could reasonably categorise him as a functioning alcoholic. He recently publicly announced after the death of Charlie Kennedy that he was giving up. So I'm pretty sure that no-one was making him drink..

He likes to paint himself as the last bastion of free speech, innocent victim of the facist Big Brother Corporation, and a lot of other things inbetween; but the reality is that he's just that embarrassing Uncle who you have fond memories of when he used to let you smoke his cigarettes and drive his car around the block when you were 10, but now you're all grown up, going through your contacts, deciding who to invite to your wedding; you just skip past because you just know he'd end up shitting in the font and asking anyone with a tan what weddings are like where they're from.
The question that I always wonder is, is it really that devastating if people who don't want ads and wouldn't click on them hide them? I can't help but think that the kind of person that uses adblock-like software is also not likely to be the target group for most ads. It's only a tiny minority those who do click on ads after all.
If you look at moves made by Apple in the iPhone era it becomes quite clear and does not require bias.

- Ban flash. Biggest competition to native apps.

- Cripple the iOS web browser just enough that web apps trying to have native style performance will struggle.

- Release their own map to push Google out of their ecosystem. When that didn't work now
they are trying this.

Apple's business model is pretty simple. Aquire a user through very aggressive marketing converted into a device purchase. Use that device purchase a an entry point to take over all points of monetary action of that user. That means nothing(web, flash, credit card) should go through anything but them. You don't need bias to see something as obvious as this now is.

A bit more informative is the actual fact sheet put out by the white house [1]. What they are really aiming for is exascale computing, which they define as being capable of applying exaFlops to exabytes. From my limited knowledge, the latter will actually be the bigger deal. As pointed out elsewhere, an exaflop supercomputer will probably come around beforehand.

It's not easy but it's not cultural. I was responding to the commenter who claimed that other countries other than the US expect or allow for a real response to the question.

And I think that's simply false. A stranger in the middle of the street in Berlin is just as uninterested in your day than one in Boston. And a friend is just as interested.
When I'm presented with "answer a survey to continue" ads, I purposefully don't read the question and pick an answer at random. I hope others do the same, so that the survey results are entirely useless.
Consider another explanation: If you use the term "rape culture", you essentially claim that in today's society, oftentimes rape will be accepted (FWIW, I agree with this statement). However, there appears to be a consensus in today's society that genocide is always a bad thing; generally that opinion is expressed without any qualifiers (as opposed to qualifiers like "legitimate rape" etc.)
Thanks Obama (no sarcasm).
I don't think knowing that is usefull. "Single processors" are all superscalar or pipelined these days, so the colossal single-thread FLOP numbers are counted as an aggregation over many arithmetic units and one has to coordinate these units (mainly avoiding branch mispredictions) in any application that takes advantage of them.

You are spot on. Apple's obvious point of view is this: random websites not affiliated with Apple are using our devices to advertize to the user. That must be stopped! We own the device, after all, and if the user is going to be advertized to, we give the permission for that and want a cut. Plus the wild and wooly ads are obnoxious. We can decide what is acceptable to our users and how it is presented, for a better (though not ad-free) experience.
That's not a confirmation that it's from MH370. It's always been highly likely that it was part of MH370 if it was a 777 part but high likelihood != confirmation.

- One can host a compiled .NET app just about anywhere, and yes, that typically costs money. But then it typically costs money to host any app, anywhere.

- The OSS alternatives to .NET are not better, not objectively. Some people prefer them, but that does not make them "better".

But that's sorta the point, isn't it? I've done enough work in the Node and Rails and .NET ecosystems to have some small bit of perspective on the matter. I haven't seen a server-side language that beats C#, at least presently. I haven't seen a framework that is anywhere near as powerful as .NET anywhere in the world of OSS. And I haven't seen ANY text editor that holds a candle to Visual Studio. I am pretty sure I'm coding circles around most of my OSS friends, well-intentioned as they are, and it's mostly because of the tools I use.

There is SO MUCH VALUE in everybody on a team using a powerful, elegant, monolithic framework. There is also a lot of hostility towards Microsoft in our line of work, most of it deserved. But things change. And frankly, I don't have a lot of time for anybody's years-old grudges, not even my own. I don't want to spend months of my life mastering Git while our billion-dollar clients are waiting impatiently for their apps. TFS is better and easier for our purposes, and a LOT of professional developers feel that way. Doesn't mean we think anyone is wrong for using Sublime Text and terminal. Just means "no, thank you".

My point stands: at this particular point in history, the .NET developer is, perhaps, not carrying the burden of proof.

Is that draft serious?

"Application and protocol developers should avoid using UDP. [...] has made UDP subject to aggressive filtering at the transport protocol level."

"In the case of QUIC [I-D.draft-tsvwg-quic-protocol] and other transport innovations, a new IANA assigned protocol number should be used [...]"

The whole point of using UDP for QUIC and other transport innovations, is because other protocol numbers are aggressively filtered by NAT routers and other middleboxes!

When you are in a controlled network, sure, you can use a new protocol number (as was done by SCTP). When you are designing a protocol to be used by end-users on networks you don't control, you have to use either TCP or UDP, or it won't work in many cases.
I would say just to be safe, use the <details> and <summary> tags with a polyfill if you need to hide and then reveal text.

Yup. You take two shots few kilometers apart and calculate the time it took the car to cross that distance. You can't cheat that easily; if you've crossed the distance faster than distance/maximum_legal_speed, you've been speeding, period. That's why many drivers hate them - because they work and can actually enforce some common sense from them.
After reading about this post, I was theorizing about using this kind of system in an enterprise system to help with intruder detection.

It would be another thing an intruder would have to bypass, and it could be constructed loosely enough to not interfere with a normal work day. Essentially just a flag, rather than a lock-out if it detects a failure.

I imagine a suite of behavior heuristics would be something of interest to a big enterprise company.
