Sand being a finite resource like any other and quite literally the foundation of the modern world apparently means the sandman is now a mafioso.
Every year, cows kill more people than sharks. And yet nobody ever makes a horror movie about them, and there's no Cow Week. These deadly beasts have managed to stay completely under the radar... until now.
Ikea, it seems, is a genius at selling Ikea—flat packing, transporting, and reassembling its quirky Swedish styling all across the planet. The furniture and furnishings brand is in more countries than Wal-Mart, Carrefour, and Toys "R" Us. China, where Ikea has eight of its 10 biggest stores, is the company's fastest-growing market. An outlet in Morocco is coming soon, and there are hints that Brazil may not be far off. Meanwhile, Ikea is going meatballs out in India, where it plans to invest about $2 billion over a decade to open 10 stores.
If ou want to imagine how the world will look in just a few years, once our cell phones become the keepers of both our money and identity, skip Silicon Valley and book a ticket to Orlando. Go to Disney World. Then, reserve a meal at a restaurant called Be Our Guest, using the Disney World app to order your food in advance.
Disney World gets more magical.
The new water "restrictions" are worthless.
It is true that liberals and leftists both want to make society more economically and socially egalitarian. But liberals still hold to the classic Enlightenment political tradition that cherishes individuals rights, freedom of expression, and the protection of a kind of free political marketplace. [...]
The Marxist left has always dismissed liberalism's commitment to protecting the rights of its political opponents [...] as hopelessly naïve. [...]
The modern far left has borrowed [this] Marxist critique of liberalism and substituted race and gender identities for economic ones. [...]
Liberals believe (or ought to believe) that social progress can continue while we maintain our traditional ideal of a free political marketplace where we can reason together as individuals. Political correctness challenges that bedrock liberal ideal. While politically less threatening than conservatism [...], the p.c. left is actually more philosophically threatening. It is an undemocratic creed.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain safe, free discourse in a public square that frequently believes differing opinions (and the free expression thereof) are not ultimately the basis of democratic systems. This doesn't just apply to politics, either, as we see the increasing bifurcation of online communities (namely Twitter) over these issues of free speech, diversity, and respect.
So you fixed a conflict somewhere in your repo, then later stumbled on exactly the same one (perhaps you did another merge, or ended up rebasing instead, or cherry-picked the faulty commit elsewhere…). And bang, you had to fix that same conflict again.
That sucks.
Especially when Git is so nice that it offers a mechanism to spare you that chore, at least most of the time: rerere. OK, so the name is lousy, but it actually stands for Reuse Recorded Resolution, you know.
In this article, we'll try and dive into how it works, what its limits are, and how to best benefit from it.
I think I just reached a new level of git-foo. This makes me feel like I just learned how to use rebase correctly again.
Clever research leading to the inevitable conclusion that Java is horribly broken:
This figure shows that JSSE clients allow the peer to skip all messages related to key exchange and authentication. In particular, a network attacker can send the certificate of any arbitrary website, and skip the rest of the protocol messages. A vulnerable JSSE client is then willing to accept the certificate and start exchanging unencrypted application data. In other words, the JSSE implementation of TLS has been providing virtually no security guarantee (no authentication, no integrity, no confidentiality) for the past several years.
The weaknesses that threaten the Federal Aviation Administration's ability to ensure the safety of flights include the failure to patch known three-year-old security holes, the transmission and storage of unencrypted passwords, and the continued use of "end-of-life" key servers.
I can't even begin to explain exactly how unsurprised I am by this.
SOWTs were on the ground ahead of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, according to military sources, and their work has helped nail pirates, free hostages and respond to humanitarian disasters. Overall, their ranks have tripled in recent years, with more growth expected. No position in the Air Force is a higher priority for recruiters.
But the work of SOWTs is still invisible to the general public; it's often overshadowed by members of the military's rougher quarters, who rarely seem to tire of mocking their colleagues with the weather balloons.
The valedictorians of the military parachute into enemy territory and launch weather balloons. Grand article.
