In a number of states you HAVE to give the registration desk at the hospital your SSN.
While that law is silly, those two statements aren't exactly the same. My state issued ID does not include my SSN.
Good thing all those 'eyes on the source code' caught this little nasty before it went out the door.
Name one distro where this is out the door.
For example, the latest ubuntu, released just a month ago, is using 3.19.
Continuing your criticism...
Who the fuck does a review whose primary focus deals with 4k video, and then resizes all the screenshots to 720p?!?!? How the hell is that 720p static image going to tell me anything useful about how well (or poorly) his rig did in that setup?
Why couldn't it have had a camera? Now that I think about it, why don't we see those on the market? You sure it can't have a camera?
Look up "Estes Proto-X FPV". It's smaller than the palm of your hand, and it has a first person view camera that live streams the feed back to the controller. The controller has a screen and can record the feed onto an SD card.
That's not the only one - it's just the smallest one that is readily available that I know of that has a FPV camera. It's fairly inexpensive too (around $200). Another, cheaper, FPV one is the Hubsan H107D (around $160). It's *slightly* bigger (mini instead of micro, though those terms have no official meaning), but has more range and a better chance of being able to fly outside. The controllers for both of those are even swappable. Neither of those can fly on its own though - they can't even hover in place without someone actively working a controller to keep them in one place. IMO, that makes both of these toy copters.
What's the best example you know of for open-source documentation?
Books from O'Reilly and Manning, I'm afraid...
My particular favorite was "DNS and BIND" (I think my first read through was with the 3rd edition). I read through cover to cover without my eyes glazing over even once. It was an enjoyable read, filled with interesting history and background that explained why various features were the way they were. It's a great read even if you have no interest in learning to use BIND, and it did a great job teaching me all about BIND and DNS.
Just use an encrypted drive, and auto-enter the password (so to speak), or give it to them if they ask. Still do the fresh install, but if you use an encrypted drive, then you don't have to worry about wiping it, nor about SSD sectors that can't be rewritten - just change the key, fresh install, write the key on a post it taped to the front of the laptop.
Use the right tool for the job, man. If you want non-DRMd video, you're supposed to use a torrent client, not a web browser. Not every tool has to solve every problem, you know - let each be good for its purpose instead.
You've got it all backwards. The right tool for the DRM'd job job already existed in various plugins (flash and silverlight being two recent and commonly used ones). If you want to consume non-DRM'd media, you're supposed to use standard tools and protocols, like web browsers.
This whole what-is-better-for-one-is-not-necessarily-better-for-all extends further too. NYC is big. There's 5 boroughs (though I'm sure you know that). For almost everyone in Staten Island, Newark is by far the best choice. For Manhattan, it's a bit of a toss up. For the other 3, Newark isn't in the running at all.
One thing that many people that aren't from here don't understand is that proximity does not directly relate to travel time, especially if you're using public transit (LGA M60 -> N -> Brooklyn = fuck that noise, just take a car). JFK isn't really any better.
In any case, I'd rather they keep the options, or increase, them, rather than reduce the options. I just know that if they were to close LGA, the money would get spent on upgrading JFK and Newark first, and getting the extra high speed lines would be planned, and probably delayed indefinitely. I'd rather they just focus on getting the transportation in place first. If it were easier to get to JFK than LGA, that'd naturally move a lot of the customers over there, and improve the situation for all.
RAID controllers do not launch reads on all involved drives. That would be stupid.
I think you mean that they do not launch a read request for the same chunk of data on all drives in a raid mirror. That would be accurate. However, they usually will read from both drives (read chunk 1 from drive A, read chunk 2 from drive B... doing so in parrallel can significantly increase read performance using a mirror).
RAID 1 with mixed SSD/HDD is the worst of both worlds further complicated by people who don't understand it.
Do you mean people like you?
Look up "md raid write-mostly", or try this page (one of many found): http://tansi.info/hybrid/
That setup is for a linux software RAID 1 mirror with one side being SSD and one side being HDD. The HDD has "writemostly" set. This causes the kernel to only do (slow) reads from the HDD if they are really needed, with all other reads going to the SSD.
This is a very very simple setup that can easily give one a huge read performance boost with very safe HDD mirror backing the data. For much higher performance and tons of other data integrity options, see advanced ZFS setups (ex. with a dedicated SSD for the zil, another for L2ARC (a level 2 cache), and also in various hybrid style allocations for the pools).
Yet I have already shown you that it has built-in short aliases for common functions (some which use standard Unix names), and you can add your own.
... which is why you shouldn't trust the behavior of those within your scripts, unless you redefine them all at top. For example, most linux distro's include a default alias of "ll" to "ls -alF" or similar, but you won't see that used in scripts.
Powershell has tab completion that is miles ahead of bash as it works for parameters and values too.
apt-get install bash-completion
It works for parameters and values too. Your info is WAY out of date if bash completion lacked that support the last time you used it. It can get really really fancy too. "apt-get" is a good example of one that has excellent bash completion:
$ apt-get i
$ apt-get install apa
$ apt-get install apache
apache2 apache2-mpm-event apache2-prefork-dev apache2-utils
apache2.2-bin apache2-mpm-itk apache2-suexec apachetop
apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-suexec-custom
apache2-doc apache2-mpm-worker apache2-threaded-dev
That also works for remove, only showing items that are already installed.
It won't surprise me if powershell *can* do similar levels of completion, but, and maybe this is my background or something, it's not going to feel as natural and it's unlikely to have as many truly useful items in place (ex. the apt example is impossible without a similar package manager, and that's just not in the cards).
OpenBSD now has a 64-bit time_t on 32-bit systems. time_t was always 64-bit on 64-bit systems on OpenBSD.
IMO this is one of the things that is being mostly ignored. Back around 2000, many people were saying things along the lines of, "we'll all be on 64bit or larger systems by 2038, so it will solve itself". Many more people have ignorantly joined that line of thought, since almost all mainstream cpu's are 64bit now. That said,there are still a large number of 32bit cpu's being made (like almost every android device CPU there is, and most Apple iPhone/iPad things, and many of the chromebooks out there):
All ARMv7 based CPU's, such as:
* Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 (nexus 7)
* ARM Cortex-A9 (ex. Exynos 4210 in Galaxy Tab 3)
* ARM Cortex-A15 (ex. nvidia tegra K1 in NVIDIA SHIELD; Galaxy Tab 4 and S, ASUA Chromebook C201 with Rockchip 3288)
Apple mobile products:
* Apple A4 (ARM Cortex-A8): iPhone 4, iPod Touch (4th gen), Apple TV (2nd gen)
* Apple A5 (ARM Cortex-A9): iPad 2, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch (5th gen), iPad mini
* Apple A6 (ARM Cortex-A15): iPhone 5
Some notable 64bit exceptions:
* Apple A7 (ARMv8-A): iPhone 5S
* Apple A8 (ARMv8-A): iPhone 6 and 6 Plus
* Apple A8X (ARMv8-A): iPad Air 2
* Exynos 5433: Galaxy Note 4 (but it only runs in 32bit mode)
* Exynos 7420: Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
* NVIDIA Tegra X1:
The work that OpenBSD did needs done everywhere. 32bit systems need to have a 64bit time_t.
Also, like y2k, there will be LOADS of data storage issues - databases that need tables altered, etc. Unlike the printed date, it will be far more difficult to make assumptions about the values based on proximity to the current date (ie. 9/11/01 was considered to be 2001, but 7/4/48 was considered 1948). time_t was a signed 32bit int, so it will wrap around to negative which has an poorly defined behavior.
Anyway.. the point that I assume is in the article is probably about future dates (and timestamps). Those will be major issues far before 2038 itself arrives (just like scheduling systems in the late 90's had to be the first to be updated).
A person makes a direct comment saying the same thing that happened a few years ago is going to happen tomorrow.
They were not so direct as you imply.
but let's just say that the person you love most in the world is shot, and it turns out the police had actual credible evidence that the person that shot your loved one made a threat the day before, but the police had your attitude, "Oh we shouldn't be so quick - let's ignore the threat."
AKA "Appeal to emotion". This can easily be flipped around, where any nearly threatening sounding statement by anyone causes them to be arrested.
For example, a very recent comment of yours:
The only cure for this travesty is to immediately fill the FEMA death camps with the entire racist, sexist and homophobic members who consist the entirety of Programming at present - the whole lot of them, because while a good egg might have slipped through, the cancer that infects programming is pervasive, and we cannot take the chance.
Then, we must rebuild a new and proper programming community, and will adhere to strict guidelines according to gender, race, and sexual orientation.
How is that not a threat? That's far more direct than what this kid said.
Are you trying to say that if the kid actually did go on a shooting rampage - which indeed was what he was referring to...
Why are so many people so quick to assume this? It's been years since the shooting. I'm betting that every year on that date, some peoples tensions are high (as indicated by the response to this mess). Just playing devils advocate, but it seems entirely feasible that he was referring to every 4/16 from 2008 onward, and his arrest was kind of a self fulfilled prophecy.
Convicting someone (in the public eye at least) based on less than a tweet and a picture of an Asian (who looks a bit stoned) seems like overreacting to me. It's very VERY unlikely it was a legitimate threat, which brings it down to intent, and the level of intent, which could range from a faux paus or misunderstanding, to political statement, to fake threat (intent to insight), to a promise. I certainly don't see enough evidence to know it was "indeed" a threat that he was going to go on a shooting rampage.
What's with the surge of "no true scotsman" comments?
Anyway... that doesn't apply here because you are mixing up tenses. Itzly's "can be trained" versus OzPeter's "should have". Also, rather than "a well trained system would have correctly...", it is "a well trained system will correctly
Either way, I think the quality of the photos would likely play a HUGE role. Garbage in, garbage out, and all that. If it can see the pores in your skin, it can do loads more detecting than the naked eye, but when they're using tiny little multi-portrait photos with a total file size capped at 3mb, that's quite a restriction on what it has to work with... and I'm shocked how well it does for the most part.
For those not wanting to watch a video to read a quote:
Thomas Jefferson (to Isaac McPherson, 1813-08-13):
If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.
