But why should we not fight for them? I am just as angry about the thought of us being censored as I am of the thought of them being censored.

It doesn't matter whether what they say disgusts me or not, I don't have the right to not be offended. People often use Reddit to find news, I believe that Reddit should have a duty to provide that service in an unbiased way without inflicting their own views on the people who use their service. All they should care about it is "is this illegal?"

Yes, I understand that they're a company and not a government agency, it's of course just my opinion that they have such a duty.

Yes! Lets silence the opinions of everyone we disagree with! Lets take away their places to talk so they have to skulk in the shadows! Lets pretend there's no merit to listening to the thoughts of millions of people!

Why stop with removing their access to Reddit? Why not make it downright illegal to talk about it? Why don't we make it illegal to think about it, too?

I'm exceptionally left-leaning and I don't agree with removing these people from Reddit, it's censorship of views we don't like, plain and simple. Are we really so childish that we believe that if we stop these people talking about it then the problem will go away? They'll just move elsewhere and common discourse will be more difficult, people will be more entombed in their own biased beliefs.

Not sure why this is being downvoted, it adds to the conversation, there is merit to the viewpoint that you can be both terrible to your own people while being generous to the people of other countries. I might not have liked the man but the reasoning behind his interventions in Africa were just as sound as the US interventions.

It doesn't appear so, the certificates appear to be signed by Cisco, presumably on some kind of dedicated hardware firewall designed to filter - but it's entirely possible that the service is being ran by Cisco and they're generating false certificates on-the-fly as part of the interception.

Full disclosure, that's my post, I just thought it would be relevant to your interests. It's deplorable how they're putting tools in place to infringe on the privacy of an entire country using such dangerous tools as _wikipedia_.

This is the first iteration of this device, I imagine that when the very first computing systems were being built, some humans were still on parity / better than the new systems.

The interesting part will be to see how this performs when we scale it up in size and stick it in a true space vacuum - it seems based on the experiments done that the amount of thrust scales linearly based on kW/h input, I imagine there are some significant gains to be made in terms of efficiency and cavity design which could well see significant increases in performance.

Then take in to account that the Hall Thruster requires a propellant - this only requires electricity, theoretically with a nuclear reactor on board, you could achieve constant acceleration, instead of our current methods of putting things in to deep space which consist mostly of "Blow up a ton of stuff behind it and then coast along for tens of millions of miles"

I'm not a trained physicist, by the way, so there could be fallacies or inaccuracies here, this is based on my understanding.

"If you give access to internet to 100 people, 99 of them will use it for Facebook or Porn."

This isn't a zero sum game, last night I used my internet access for porn, today I'm using my internet access to learn about a new 4,000 satellite constellation being built by SpaceX, later on today I'll use it to create a pull request on Bitbucket.

At the very least, the operations accounts, security, newsletters and Simon Stevens himself should have the ability to send a network-wide email - outside of that there's no good reason for Johnny intern to be sending an email to that many people.

I assume they had it ready to go and live and putting it in to production was simply a matter of registering the domain and pointing the DNS at the server hosting this.

I don't think the OP was saying that - they were saying that it's not a technically difficult issue, and they would be fairly right.

In my experience, most large fashion sites can comfortably run on a Magento instance with a fairly simple architecture, normally a small handful of load balanced PHP instances, with a dual read slave / master database configuration.

Fashion itself, however, is a much different beast, being cool, hip, whatever, it takes a lot of skill - to really understand your target market and sell them something they don't even know they want yet.

Just signed up, it's perfect, the service I never knew I needed but clearly always have.

Is there any time limit on purchases? I'm not paid for a week, I wouldn't want to go through that signup process and have it disappear for whatever reason.

Nothing interesting to you, mayhap.

I enjoyed reading through the simple code, these older languages can often seem somewhat esoteric to the uninitiated, seeing the COBOL language twisted to fitting in to an MVC-lite pattern helped me to understand what was going in - it read like the applications I'm used to seeing.

It would be a fairly unlikely place for him to go though, given that everything he does is on his own land (and other areas where he has the owner's permission). He's presumably constrained by the local wildlife and regional laws.

In Queensland, Australia where he is based, it's illegal [1] to hunt anything which isn't feral or an invasive species of hare or deer, which are pretty hard to find, especially on small plots like the one he owns.

He's a professor of liberal studies, you could say that this sort of action is entirely within the remit of his profession.

People normally only care about poor diversity in careers where the pay is good - you rarely hear people complaining about the diversity of cleaners, milk delivery personnel or train drivers.

If the pay dropped, I have a strong feeling that the calls for increased diversity in tech would cease quickly, replaced with complaints about diversity in accountancy or some other high net worth career.

Just a minor thing, I love your application (and the pricing) but the monthly/weekly switch on the pricing page has such a fine contrast between them that it was hard to tell that they were button.

#e3e3e3 is almost indistinguishable from #fff for me - 15' Macbook Pro 2015 Retina on maximum brightness using Google Chrome.

That's my understanding of the popular usage, however I have noticed people also using it to refer to people who take advantage of known security issues using "simplistic" programming languages and techniques.

IE, a script kiddie is more likely to use python or php to SQL inject than to execute a timing attack against a crypto library.

I remember this lifestyle pretty well, for me it was rice with various homemade sauces, a big bag of rice was $5 and that could last me a couple of weeks if it was all I ate.

One benefit is that I was an overweight child, being too poor to eat properly brought me to a "perfect" BMI for my age.

I just tried this out for fun on my macbook, I found it very difficult to get the mouse to move with my forearm/palm even when trying, I had to use my carpal bone instead (which is essentially a point like a finger).

Just a minor off topic correction, since you made the mistake twice: "squeue" is actually "skew".

This would require international coordination of laws in many different territories.

What if I just type in "31.192.120.36", the current public IP of www.pornhub.com?

In an age before the internet was widely available in the home I would just stay up late, which was 11pm back in those days, and watch the "ten minute freeview" on "television X" where there was about a 33% chance that you might spy a woman's lady bits for about 5 seconds.

Realistically, kids will circumvent almost anything you put in place if they're interested enough in what they're trying to achieve.

To be honest, that code is pretty bad anyway. "If an arbitrary attribute table doesn't exist, ignore this row and process the next one", no exceptions thrown, no attempt to rectify the situation, no logging, no state change, just ignore it. I can't really think of a situation where you both don't care and don't want to know if your transaction completes.

That aside, this actually looks like it might even contain a SQL injection vulnerability. I'm no Drupal 7 expert (which this code seems to be) but having looked in to the code being ran here, db_table_exists seems to call down to `$this->connection->queryRange("SELECT 1 FROM {" . $table . "}", 0, 1);` in `DatabaseSchema_mysql::tableExists`, which contains an unescaped PDO query. I feel like anyone running this code is going to have a very bad day and it makes me untrusting of the rest of the work they're putting out.

As far as I know, people using bitbucket's 2-factor authentication are unable to connect to their repositories using HTTPS, is this still true?

https://twitter.com/BitbucketStatus/status/78802476201441280... They've posted on their Twitter account with essentially the same content as well.

It's been down for almost 40 minutes for us, completely blocking a scheduled release. Didn't realise until now how much of a dependency Bitbucket was to us - definitely lessons to be learned here.

It's probably worth mentioning that the regex-dna test time is kind of incorrect and provides an inaccurate view of what's happening.

Java-8 is using java.util.regex which is written in Java, PHP is passing the regex requests to it's own regex process which is actually a C package and performs a lot faster.

What we're actually comparing here is:

time(java.util.regex) > time(php compilation + c regex package)

Most professional PHP developers I've anecdotally worked with use a Model-View-Controller pattern these days, where the SQL is abstracted away in the model under something like Doctrine2-DBAL, Propel2 or PDO. If I was hiring for a developer and they suggested putting raw SQL in the view layer, I would reject them. If I received a pull request from my team which did the same, I would reject it.

You seem unnecessarily argumentative about this, almost like you're angry and I really don't understand why. There really isn't that much difference between languages like Ruby and PHP to warrant this and almost anything can be expressed in almost the same way, the only real differences are syntactic sugars and the "flexible" type system.

I don't think I was being pedantic. The parent poster was very clear, there was nothing there for me to overstate.

My company just had to do it today in response to a critical security issue we identified in production.

Saying that nobody should ever do it isn't realistic, sometimes things go wrong on a Friday, sometimes you can't afford to wait 3 days to watch them become even worse.

It's sad that this site uses SCSS for displaying the rules, I'm using it in production and fully understand it, but it's needlessly abstracting the rules for the sake of a few extra words in each declaration.

That aside, these are some pretty cool examples. Are there ways of doing this with CSS which doesn't screw with my browser back button?
