I've worked in IT type jobs for over two decades, in some sense training would help, but to be frank the code and systems IT folks have built are of such low quality that it's better for everyone if they're handed over to more competent teams that can cost effectively maintain them long term.
I had an engineer from Boeing reach out to me once for help with the store and forwarding of Ethernet frames from the science experiment outputs. At the time he had a laptop running Qnx that would capture the frames, then when the ISS was over Houston it would replay them for the down link. I wonder if they have a better system in place now.
What's amusing is that this will likely hurt the tool makers since it will lock them out of free accounts, where as before they could sell to free accounts. Seems like a whoops for GH.
The main use case we tested with was for a data analytics pipeline to ingest telemetry events from video games, but would have been generally used across all our services, target was about 1m/RPS for our load test. The CoreOS ALB controller for K8s out performed it significantly (I don't have the exact stats now), albeit it's not as feature rich as Skipper.
On the good end of the policy they're trying to correct "human nature", so the western approach is basically c'est la vie humans are terrible. I don't agree with the Chinese system either, but I don't see a good look in the mirror being a bad thing here either as that there are very real world consequences in the west penalizing doing the right thing.
The Chinese are formalizing it and adding the system to places that haven't been too political in the past, but the west has its own unwritten social credit system and if you don't figure it out and kowtow to it then you're secretly penalized.
e.g. Cross an insecure manager or exec in your company by saying something that's true and better for the company, you'll get dingined without knowing it. Focus solely on learning at school and not enough on figuring out the game too, there again you're going against the system.
It's effectively the same as opting out of these robo calls, there's a FTC list for both and yet it has zero effect. I also get 99.9% junk mail, so it's easy to lose actual mail in the pile.
I filed a likeness claim where Youtube created a profile with a picture of me somehow and there was no way to delete it. The takedown request was rejected because they said the video was invalid, despite it not being a video and it being explained that it was a profile and Youtube itself had taken property that wasn't theirs. Eventually I found some email address I could file a complaint against with a picture of my DL and they took it down.
It seems like companies have their 99% cases that their systems are optimized for, but within the remaining 1% where they themselves are causing the problem or have a bug etc. the humans they hire can't understand simple things if they deviate an iota from what they're used to.
China isn't that cheap anymore actually, a lot of their value in certain areas is that they have been doing them for a long time so are pretty good at it now.
I thought there would be a flood of projects analysing the data when it came out, but it seems like the idea everyone applauded but not much came out of it. Steve Ballmer's http://usafacts.org seems like the first real attempt though.
Can the app detect if it's in the sandbox? If so, then it could just behave differently in the sandbox and then when used outside behave another way. I think the Linux systemd folks have the right idea with just running processes in their own cgroup regardless, this thing where programs go mucking around with stuff all over the place should be relegated to the past at this point.
In some cases the content doesn't belong to the person restricting it however, they're effectively copyrighting the digital medium, do you think that's right for them to DRM it?
I just wish they wouldn't partner with orgs who restrict the downloading of material, it doesn't feel like the spirit of archive.org there are other places for content providers who want to be neurotic.
Amazon lets you browse more of the book and you can get a better feel for it. The E-Book you have to suggest a price, which in theory seems nice to pay what you what, but now I don't know what I'd pay. :)
If you use Goland 2018 it's pretty seamless, there are a few things missing like being able to get ptr addresses and view values in hex, and it's a little laggy compared to VS but not bad.
The problem I have with pen tests is that they're not systematic and rely on the cleverness and knowledged of the tester. Even if they identify an issue, it's often hard or impossible to ensure it doesn't regress, and if it's an inhouse or custom software they've never seen before they likely won't be of much help without a lot of effort.
I think one step forward would be also approaching security the same way epidemiologist track down causes of diseases. In that they take patient data and trace back the factors that caused it, just instead of patients we're talking about security vulnerabilities and breaches. Having a corpus of causal diagrams that then we can develop software to analyze risk factors that we can then systematically test for.
The network latency from Frankfurt to Italy is often unstable and does cause problems for video games I know. It's odd, but it's measurable, no idea why however.
Mostly yes, it came to a point where the teams had enough understanding to be able to make a mistakes that impacted customers without them jeopardizing the whole company. Bizdev and sales are a WIP still since it's a niche industry.
I found I understood English grammar better after learning German since it's explicit about the cases, syntax, nouns etc. It sort of revealed what the underlining mechanism was that in English was invisible.
I'd like to see a contingency in the agreement that allows one to download the games you own if they shut down the service. Would have been nice if OnLive had done that.
