I wrote and maintained an IP/UDP stack for an expensive, reliable, industrial packet radio, so you should back off your presumptive, elitist tone. Sure, they maintain a control TCP channel like ftp but that's a normal pattern. Fal

Exactly. Seems like a specious strawman when the attack on personal use and viewing experience is much broader. Corporate control seeks to pervade every aspect of life and shake down people at every opportunity.

Greedy corporations leaning on governments to drive people away from their content, criminalizing remixing and making content unusable by the blind and others speaking different languages not approved. Plus, they probably want to charge a f

We used Lustre, pNFS and GPFS at Stanford on HPC gear (DDN, Panasas and some enterprise COTS). Luster has a lot of moving parts and config. Most folks tend to use Puppet/Chef and/or Rocks distro to deploy clusters in a somewhat sa

Mudge at DefCon IIRC had a good point about MIC contractors having Intellectual Property repeatedly stolen, govt gives more money each time and disincentives to root-cause analysis and patching vulns/0days.

They're crooks whom subvert democracy and exploit people and businesses with obsfucated trickery. Who cares? Next financial crisis brought closer because coworker competition in performance reviews means legitimized stealing even mor

The fundamental failure of most SJW and some populist attitudes: committing varying levels of disproportionately evil behaviors in the name of self-righteousness, when a decent person aims to be relatively consistent no matter what other p

I like succinct, semantically-clear code that's many, testable, tiny functions.

Perhaps it would be like Ubuntu going back RHEL/CentOS vs. Fedora churn, or turning something like iOS into something like Android. Sometimes, projects need to leave things that are working alone instead of churn-for-churns' sake.

UDP shouldn't be used for content traffic, it has no guarantees. Plus, this is what happens when reinventing emperors new clothes protocols... greater attack surface for marginal benefit.

Plenty in America. In fact, take most of ours and save us from some diabetes.

0. Politics. Threatened or annoyed someone. Someone else was promised tenure. 1. Ageism. It's rampant, and I've seen in academia, discard people like tissues. 2. Progess. Maybe expectations weren't set mutually. 3. Lemonade.

Yup. More mental "shortcuts" that seek magic "signals" to avoid both evidence and pragmatic interviewing effort testing both business problem-solving critical thinking and cultural fit. There are no shortcuts. Furthermor

REI usually has fantastic gear good enough to not have to seek out specialty stores. Just one example: I got a better, rugged water bottle (7 gal) for less that the cost of the crappy (3 gal) one offered by the local water store. If you nee

Affliate link and content sales capitalizing on trendy animosity. Hard to say if the story actually happened or it's more of a tall tale to make money.

Port knocking and some even obscurity are valid additional layers of defense-in-depth if combined fundamentals of A3E. State actors can afford millions to spend on build/buying sploits for [insert technology]. For example, use differen

Critical infrastructure demands solid, understandable security (ie defense-in-depend). Throwing around shiny, new, unprovens things to "give the emperor new clothes" increases risks for major security breaches. Plus, this commerci

Yup. Open ports to the world is a terrible idea for anything real. This is why SSH jumpboxes (say a roundrobin pair of OpenBSD VMs with ssh rbash &| strongswan. Add secure portknocking to the pf firewall for bonus points.) Plus, there&#

Another more common eye(lid) problem people often give themselves is painful infections on the tip of the eyelids called styes. It's usually caused by someone rubbing their eyes with their hands because it's a double-whammy of cro

Exactly. Lining up intellectuals, journalists and others against the wall is one fewer, finite normalizations away from occurring.

The risk of disinformation to manipulate sentiment (and Trump) is high. It may be an Assad WMD attack (ie they cheated on WMD destruction) or it might not (ie ISIS agitators using false stories). It's hard to tell without "slow ne

Nuance: most casual graffiti is shit (ruining property), a fraction though is a beautiful addition through art and/or political metaphor.

The world needs more Banksy's: graffiti that makes people reflect on inequality and tyranny.

Oh OS/2... multitasking that worked and higher reliability than Windows 3/95 (for the most part). A job I had at the time required doing incremental and full backups of an OS/2 box, and also transmitting backoffice data to co

There's a bunch in Hacker's Delight. One that comes to mind is XOR-swap. It's cute, but it's likely slower than using a temp var. Some of the integer population count algos (1's counting) are clever. Also, original

Oh the joys of 754: {q,s}NaNs, denormals and other cases. It's possible to describe an arbitrary IEEE754-like binary(k) and other custom formats using: S:E:I:M (sizes S+E+I+M = k) Where: S sign bit, usually size 1 E exponent field I im

Education isn't educated. Most people don't know who is Chris Hedges or Cornel West. Hollywood gossip, "social" apps and working 1-3 jobs too often displaces vital civic participation, resistance to corrupt authorities a
