The ignorant slashdot troll telling someone else how to use their time constructively, cute.
Perhaps that commute is the one time of day he fills with entertainment, and the rest of the time he is doing great things?
What if the commute is his only time to unwind and he's trying to fill it in with 10 minutes of something he couldn't otherwise fit into his schedule?
Your comment is insanely short sighted. You're in such a hurry to knock him, you completely ignore the possibility that he may do exactly what you speak of the rest of his time.
Hell, these videos could be segments Cosmos episodes, what then? Is that not enlightening yourself?
Thats cute... you know I was sharing MP3s before Shawn made it out of grade school. You kids are cute, napster wasn't the start bud, it was the end of free music sharing.
Any true warez rat knows popularity is the antithesis of doing it wrong.
You fail to understand... the dealer you bought your car from... can make a key on demand.
And you too can have the and control the Secure Boot key, if only you'd take a moment to learn rather than parroting other slashdot moron posts.
You can simply choose not to buy a Secure Boot implementation that doesn't let you control the key if you want, and buy one that does give you the key.
Its really not hard unless you're being an over-reacting fanboy, otherwise known as an RMS tool.
... You realize that if we dismissed everything that had an implementation flaw in one or two of the hundreds of different implementations or more... we'd never have any progress.
A new tire blows out just minutes after being installed. Does that mean tires are all useless?
Your post isn't informative, its ignorant. It wreaks of uneducated fanboy.
The UK pretty much only said 'don't publish the actual key codes you discovered, but you can talk about how you discovered them all you want.
They said 'OMG NO MUST HAVE FULL DISCLOSURE!$#^@Q^@#'
The UK doesn't really have a major problem with the publication, they just don't want half the cars in the country to suddenly be stolen by 15 year old boys who bought a $5 device from China tomorrow.
Organized crime won't immediately go steal every Porsche on the planet because of this. Its too obvious and too dangerous for them to get busted. They aren't stupid, they don't cut off their nose to spite their face.
What you should be afraid of is every teenager being able to order a cheap 'open every car' device from China for $5. They will do something stupid like see how many cars they can steal in one day, just for shits and giggles or worse.
I'm afraid of assholes like those at Gizmodo who do think universal remotes make them cool since they can fuck with TVs at public presentations... those are the asshats you need to be worried about having this information.
And you will never be a worth while embedded developer with ignorant statements like that. Thats the kind of thing I expect to here from a Microsoft developer.
Its hard to have an intelligent critique with something as silly as implying C++ can be shoehorned into the embedded world. It shows you really don't understand either the language or the target.
The EXACT reason you don't use it is because it does stuff that is unnecessary and abstracts away your ability to control it.
At best, you use C and occasionally make it work with some C++ objects. Most compilers will produce shittier code just because you rename a.c file to.cpp, let alone use actual features.
Yes, but they said DECENT compiler, so GCC is immediately out.
GCC has to be the worst as far as optimization that I've ever seen. Its a shining example of OSS not actually delivering on its promise. Generally, something as widely used as GCC should be on par with commercial offerings (such as Linux in relation to the server market, it competes in an unquestionable way, with all the server OS big boys and stands strong), but it isn't. Its not even close. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if this sort of optimization is one it doesn't do since its one of those corner cases that shouldn't be that common.
Hell, the GCC assholes would probably tell you that they were helping you by not optimizing it.
Okay, I'm sure some little girls with no self confidence think she's great. No one over the age of 13 and no one with a penis thinks she's anything other than a ugly ass attention whore. Her lyrics are about as impressive as you can expect... if they were written by her 12 year old fan club.
I would argue that from a human perspective, they way things are looking, Earth isn't a self-sustainable biome either. We simply reproduce too much currently for this to continue to function once fossil fuels run out (i.e. fertilizer and medicine derived from oil goes away, the fuel isn't the issue).
Its too bad you seem to be one of the ignorant, trying to slander one of the OSes that built the Internet before your fanboy ass was a wet stain in mommies panties.
The fingertips are also full of capillaries that allow a nice small droplet of blood to come out very easy, without a stream following it and needed bandaids.
Your feet, equally painful and equally great for getting blood out, which is why they do it on newborns and babies, where fingers are just too tiny and movable to try and put them into a machine (since the baby rarely does what you ask him/her to do fresh out of the womb;)
It is entirely unacceptable for a ANYONE to take more than one shot at getting into your veins, even entirely collapsed veins. When you do this many times a day, every day, if you don't know how to do it, you don't need to be in the medical profession.
Note: My father had cancer and my wife is a doctor. Its just unacceptable to need more than one try. You shouldn't have gotten out of med school.
And the exact same thing could happen to any other completely mechanical device. Unless you wrote the software or were closely involved with the development process, you have no fucking clue as an end user of medical devices if its actually safe to use.
Yes, its an example of how to do it wrong, but you CAN NOT ignore the fact that IT HAPPENED.
The example is mentioned not to show how it can be done wrong, but that even in the highly regulated medical industry, where lives are ALWAYS on the line, it slipped right through with a completely improper design and inadequate testing, where as even a 15 year old would be more reliable at noticing the missing filter when reconfiguring the machine more often than the T-25 failed.
TimeMachine takes about 15 minutes to do the prep work before it starts copying for me, on a 2012 Retina MBP with 16Gb of RAM and only 256GB of disk space... 64 GB taken by an unbacked up BootCamp part and another 120 or so eaten in Windows VMs that don't get backed up either... i.e. Its not a slow spinning platter backing up a terabyte of data.
I see no indication of any Journal, it certainly isn't making it faster. Pretty freaking slow actually.
Wouldn't solve his problem. TimeMachine takes considerable time to prep and start a backup before it starts actually doing any work, I'd guess its likely doing the same sort of thing that Rsync, gathering a list of changes.
No matter how you spin it, the person at the top is still more trust worth than nothing at all. REAL people (i.e. not geeks who have nothing better to do with their time) are not dicking around asking their friends to build up a 'web of trust' only to have one of the certs lost... and then having to start all over again.
Its also rather stupid to trust random other people to validate your identity.
As typical when some moron shouts 'p2p!', peer to peer is entirely impractical here.
Your p2p encryption and signing system already exists, and its entirely unused outside of a tiny circle of geeks who like to pretend they are better than the rest. Its called PGP, and its been the 'p2p' encryption system for 20 years.
You know why you don't know this? Because its such a pain in the ass to use that no one other than some dorks trying to look like ultra-geeks and raving tinfoil-hat butters.
99.999% of the people in the world just DON'T GIVE A SHIT. They certainly aren't going to put effort into some kludgy half ass system that adds no actual security due to its completely impractical implementation.
And for all those people using it... when I want your data... I'l just start beating the ever living fuck out of you with a pipe wrench rather than trying to decrypt it. I promise you that you'll turn your keys over fairly quickly.
Uhm, self-signed certs are absolutely no help at all.
The signing happens on the PUBLIC key, not the private. They can still give their private key to the NSA, who can use it regardless of who signed the public key.
They have the private key, so your self-signed cert will still validate it as legit. It IS the key they claimed they had... they just also gave it to some else.
PGP is not my friend. Its just RSA without the privilege of having an 'trusted' third party to verify. You already have fully functional encryption built into EVERY EMAIL CLIENT THAT MATTERS to do encryption of this level that doesn't require using a bunch of shitty hacks to get it to work with the client.
SMIME with self signed/friend-signed certs is still far far better than PGP.
GPG is just a horrible implementation (from a usability perspective) of PGP for freetards who don't actually know what they are talking about.
$50 says there aren't a million GPG encrypted or signed emails total, ever, let alone in a single day.

No, its asking to replace the incumbent middleman with a new middleman, otherwise its the same.

Anything you do on either platform with C++ (as thats what the arduino environment is) can be done FAR better in C.
Arudino isn't about producing fast code, its about producing an easy to use development environment.
No one uses the arduino IDE and libraries to do anything beyond some basic example tutorials.
and the compiler handles the rest.
And you will never be a worth while embedded developer with ignorant statements like that. Thats the kind of thing I expect to here from a Microsoft developer.
Its hard to have an intelligent critique with something as silly as implying C++ can be shoehorned into the embedded world. It shows you really don't understand either the language or the target.

At best, you use C and occasionally make it work with some C++ objects. Most compilers will produce shittier code just because you rename a .c file to .cpp, let alone use actual features.
No compiler makes C++ not bloated compared to C.
Yes, but they said DECENT compiler, so GCC is immediately out.
GCC has to be the worst as far as optimization that I've ever seen. Its a shining example of OSS not actually delivering on its promise.

To add to your comment ...
Commercials from a lawyer seeking applicants ... so ambulance chasers are how we judge medicine now days? Seriously?
You need a new nurse!
It is entirely unacceptable for a ANYONE to take more than one shot at getting into your veins, even entirely collapsed veins. When you do this many times a day, every day, if you don't know how to do it, you don't need to be in the medical profession.

Point taken.
Tell them to fuck off.
If everyone does it, we win.
Word of advice: Not everyone will have the courage to do it, and thats why we'll lose.
