My grandfather was a civil engineer for Maricopa County in Arizona (USA, dry desert, last contiguous state to join the union 1912 I believe) from 195[4-9] to like 1998 about. When I started working on advanced algebra while we we driving out to go fishing he told me that they used to have the 2 interns from ASU (AZ state univ.) find a different palo verde tree and go calculate the log that they would use for the bend of a curve for the new road, by hand. If they had different answers they'd both have to go back and redo it. I was astonished because I was just always taught to just push the log button on the calculator. Pretty crazy how things had changed even in curriculum. Thanks for the shared article

Not a source, but it's more common to have heat pumps in the southern States where winters aren't that bad. I'm born and raised in Arizona and they seemed to be common in houses after the 1973 energy crisis. My grandparents house in Tempe, AZ (was built in like 1950's) did no have one. A house I purchased in central North Carolina had a heat pump. I'm now around Washington DC area in Virginia, and we has gas. I think a simple explanation is that natural gas is almost a by product (certainly from landfills, which is how most USA disposes of trash) and is very cost efficient. Also the energy crisis changed the outlook of house building. I hope that helps explain it some, sorry I don't have any concrete facts I'm typing on a small keyboard.

Good call! I put this in place on my mail server and set it on my ansible base layer. Nice username too :-)

Also, why isn't there more supervision of Alex who has to be near 6?

Daring Danny X and his antics have with Alex's accidents have got to be near a third of their call volume

yup

There also is quite browser, which is similar (not an extension though) it has some very cool features like domain conditional proxies and other settings

There are Jellyfin shares and Emby shares too, there should be a relevant subreddit that lists them periodically

Some of those examples are not very stellar examples, I understand that they are just samples but trying to share some of my experiences to help illustrate a better picture. If listening to locals about placing a well or a playground or a zoo, I think you'll quickly get people saying yeah closer to us and not them. You are allocated finite resources to help improve living conditions, sometimes there are compromises. Just noting that transporting fuel by helicopter should not be the gauge regarding incompetence. Many of the bases are very remote, there are different fuel types and/or routes could have been closed and the requirement to get fuel to a location or other emergencies might be a driving factor. But it does sound like something that is pretty inefficient and dangerous.

From my experience and social contacts, I don't think "incompetence" at doing anything is accurate or would I describe it as affecting morale. There are inefficiencies and incompetency with leadership or supply chains, some of this waste is part of running such a large organization like the military. One that sticks in my mind is having 60 people assigned to shake debris out of parachutes when there are only 25 hooks to hang the parachutes on, requiring US mail to be transported by US citizens, and I'm nit picking here: US Air Force intra-Base Security Police enforcing a 15 MPH speed limit...

There have been many lessons that have been learned, from these conflicts and I think a large contributing factor to the cost is rapid procurement of enhanced equipment such as individual and vehicular armor improvements; equipment that had been identified in review's as being a deficiency.

I think a positive attribute around the military is what is being viewed and cited, is lessons and critique. The Army does have strong systems in place for reviewing actions. I think it's something that I try to take a utilize in the civilian sector. I think there is waste, and certainly there could be modifications to improve efficiency, but I also think for a very large organization it does fairly well, and modernized fairly well to the challenges that were presented. However if I were joking around with some friends, I would totally would be tossing around incompetence left and right (haha)!

Where did you purchase HyperRouge from? I thought it was open source and available.

Your project looks very nice! I will need to look in more detail later. What you made is very similar to something I've been looking for, (while I haven't done an exhaustive search) and have been wanting to make myself. A large part was the desire of being able to create the software itself. What I had been writing and working on had been in Go too, perhaps it's because the standard libabry provides some nice building blocks?

I haven't been commenting much lately, but I really wanted to tell you, very nice work

A snapshot of the source code seems available here: https://github.com/gigablast/open-source-search-engine

They offer "stripped" which removes many tracking parts of the website. Additionally it could be useful for individuals that are on a degraded network connection (different parts of the world).

It also has an API which I haven't interacted with but seems neat. I just figured I would share it.

Yes, very good point I do think that the older programs/projects have to plan a migration which really can be challenging. I think there are some that might care for example selenium might have the mozilla directory as a default and some might hard code it. The orchestration of such a change is difficult because I don't think too many people read changelog or really keep up with upstream modifications.

Good thoughts

Why not _shame_ openssh? Or vim? Or emacs? I would advise not calling for shame on any of these projects because they have a pattern to support that has been in place longer than the XDG standard has been in place. You can change gnupg's home dir, but it would break a lot of currently functional setups if it just moved.

However, this device lacks FIPS 140-2 certification of any type, which is a huge detractor for any company wanting to shovel that kind of money towards a solution.

I checked the "NIST List" (rhymes haha), and they might have this module under evaluation:

You should give AntennaPod a chance, very lightweight and allows for new podcasts to be added. It is open source and has is actively developed.

Additionally you won't have any new requirement to create a new account or pull analytics from your listening habits as you mentioned towards the end.

I found Sumologic to lack features that ELK has such as packetbeats. But you still have to manage the Sumologic forwarding agent and keep under your ingest limit. Additionally my mind never exactly flowed with their query syntax. They refreshed the UI recently and I liked it (aside from compounding my overutlization of tabs haha), you now more easily/graphically select time series from the graph. I can see how it is nice to not have to worry about re-indexing and what type of device the underlying data rests on. I have not tried the ELK hosted solution so some of my criticisms could apply to it as well.

There is also the Java based "PC emulator":

However, development seems to have slowed down drastically.

Very interesting, I didn't think of using AFL for a network level, and I have not heard of Honggfuzz until today.

I thought about doing this earlier and my thought was that this could have been done with something like Scapy or at a basic level hping3.

I really enjoy the completeness of this publication, additionally the ability for me to read it later from an epub is great.

This reminds me when the Java Pub House did a few podcasts on Garbage Collections and performance (http://www.javapubhouse.com/2012/04/episode-22-garbage-man-i...)

Sorry for the delay in responding, I didn't notice the reply. I was concerned with it before purchasing because I had heard there was a good amount of RFI produced by USB in general. I have the USB 3 micro B, I feel that a good enclosure could mitigate a lot my concerns (and the article seems to back it up). If you would like any pictures please let me know, I can try to provide them.

I had concerns about RFI when purchasing my LimeSDR[1] USB version. Perhaps adding more shielding on the back side of the ports and around the unit itself is in order? I imagine that aluminum could help and it is fairly easy to put in place.

Yes, this was my first experience with this piece of software. You can pretty clearly tell that it is from UPX by examining the file in a hex editor.

I still have the malicious file on VM for me to do some analysis on it later. (if anyone would like it, feel free to contact me) edit: added the contact me
