(873,1529,'2014-06-12 09:44:43','Ken Fallon','Disagree with your comments on LibReSSL','As ever I enjoyed this show and broadly agree with many of your points. I would first like to strongly disagree with the section where you discuss LibReSSL before adding another suggestion.\r\n\r\nYour Ad hominem argument against Theo de Raadt (10:23:00) was unmerited, and while people may criticise his tact, he has a long history of producing and managing secure projects.\r\nFrom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theo_de_Raadt: \"He is the founder and leader of the OpenBSD and OpenSSH projects\". \r\n\r\nTo address your other points in that section.\r\n1. \"I would stick with OpenSSL and give LibReSSL a pass, at least until such a time as they show a long track record of success\".\r\nThe developers of LibReSSL have a long track record of success as they are the same people that bring you OpenSSH. They are noted for been able to produce secure software. So much so that Linux Torvalds said of the team, \"I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.\" From a practical point of view everyone running any Linux Distribution is more than likely already running and trusting OpenSSH.\r\nFrom https://www.libressl.org/: \"LibReSSL is primarily developed by the OpenBSD Project\". \r\nFrom https://www.openssh.com/: OpenSSH is developed by the OpenBSD Project.\r\n\r\n2. \"A good general rule in security is that new code is much more dangerous than code that has been around for a long time\"\r\nThe whole heart bleed issue proves this to be false. The rule itself is based on the premise that if it\'s around a long time, many people have reviewed the code and many bugs have been fixed. This is a rewording of \"given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow\", Linus\'s_Law argument which you yourself criticise in the episode. \r\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus\'s_Law \r\n\r\nMany people skip the caveats in the formal version \"Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix will be obvious to someone\". The heart bleed code was caused by not having a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, and yet this is exactly what the OpenBSD Project brings to the table.\r\n\r\nFurthermore LibReSSL is not \"new code\", but rather it is \"forked code\". They are fixing old existing bugs on OpenSSL and nothing is preventing OpenSSL from implementing the fixes they discover.\r\n\r\n3. Your argue that removing code and \"stuff they don\'t care about\" doesn\'t look good.\r\nI would point out that that is not a bad thing and was widely supported when LibreOffice forked OpenOffice. Michael Meeks celebrates this by publicising 38,714 known unused methods in LibreOffice. \"One of the unfortunate things that LibreOffice inherited, as part of the several decades worth of unpaid technical debt, is unused code that has been left lying around indefinitely. This was particularly unhelpful when mingled with the weight and depth of the useful code we have around the place.\"\r\nFrom https://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2012-01-09-unused.html \r\n\r\nSo finally I would suggest that \"Mono Culture is bad\" should be added to your list. Having (cooperating) competing systems, is not a bad thing as it encourages development, and innovation. Over reliance on any one piece of software is a bad thing. We saw that in the fields of Operating systems, web browsers and now in Security Libraries. ','2022-02-14 13:16:42'),
(874,1529,'2014-06-13 01:15:53','Kevin O\'Brien','Why I said that...','I still maintain that tested code is better than untested code, and nothing tsts it more than time. The OpenSSL code worked well for a long time until a very subtle error crept in. So the question is whether we will more quickly get to a more secure state by developing a mature code base or by throwing it out and starting over. In general, I maintain that fixing the mature code is a better practice.\r\n\r\nSecond, announcing almost immediately that that you have thrown out 90,000 lines of code (the number I recall) does not tom e suggest careful thought so much as a hack-and-slash mentality, and I don\'t like that in security. Calm deliberation usually works better.\r\n\r\nThird, from the reports I read one of the things that was discarded as an unnecessary feature was Windows compatibility. Even though I support free software, I recognize that we need to share the Internet with a shit-ton of Windows machines, and I would prefer that they be as secure as possible.\r\n\r\nI totally agree on Mono culture, and I hope that LibreSSL provides good competition. I did not mean to imply that LibreSSL should not exist, only that Iwould be very cautious about adopting anything unproven.','2017-09-09 07:41:25'),
(875,1529,'2014-06-13 16:00:04','Ken Fallon','You many not have researched this enough','To be clear this is *not*, as you say, \"starting over\". They started with the existing OpenSSL code and worked from their. So they are using the exact same \"mature code\" and any issue they find are also issues in OpenSSL. Once fixed they are added to LibReSSL and _remain_ in OpenSSL. However, Do not mistake \"old code\" for \"tested code\". It was not tested, which was your third point \"Bugs are not shallow if the eyeballs are not there.\" Now that people *are* looking at the code bugs are been found. Case in point the new team brought on board by the Linux Foundation to help fix OpenSSL reported on 5th June 2014: CVE-2014-0224: \"a Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack where the attacker can decrypt and modify traffic from the attacked client and server.\"\r\n\r\nSo let\'s look at what was actually removed in the first week. arstechnica have an interview with Theo de Raadt and he describes exactly what they removed.\r\nhttps://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/04/openssl-code-beyond-repair-claims-creator-of-libressl-fork/\r\n--------------------------------------------------------\r\nde Raadt said there were \"Thousands of lines of VMS support. Thousands of lines of ancient WIN32 support. Nowadays, Windows has POSIX-like APIs and does not need something special for sockets. Thousands of lines of FIPS support, which downgrade ciphers almost automatically.\"\r\n...\r\nThere were also \"thousands of lines of APIs that the OpenSSL group intended to deprecate 12 years or so ago and [are] still left alone.\"\r\n...\r\nDe Raadt told ZDNet that his team has removed 90,000 lines of C code. \"Even after all those changes, the codebase is still API compatible,\" he said. \"Our entire ports tree (8,700 applications) continue to compile and work after all these changes.\"\r\n--------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nSo to summarise the facts:\r\n90,000 lines of *unused* or *obsolete* code is removed from the LibReSSL code base.\r\n90,000 lines of *unused* or *obsolete* code remains in the OpenSSL code base.\r\n\r\nIf the Industry Average is 17.5 errors per 1000 lines of code*, and there are 90,000 lines of code, we can calculate that the OpenSSL code has 1,575 MORE errors than LibReSSL\r\n\r\n( 90000 / 1000 ) x ( ( 50 - 15 ) / 2 ) = 1,575 \r\n* \"Code Complete\" by Steve McConnell. \r\nBlame Charles in NJ if my math is wrong.','2022-02-14 13:16:43'),

The episode and show notes are excellent, and you even made *some* progress in convincing me that a linking table may be needed. I would have liked a more detailed explanation as to why it\'s a bad idea to use a comma separated list backed with actual processor utilization tests to prove this. Even then I\'m willing to argue that the choice of a more inefficient method, is better if the system can be kept simpler. Remember that HPR is a volunteer run effort and we cannot guarantee that we will always have DBA\'s available to help out. I am more than happy to select a less efficient process if it means that more people can understand it.\r\n\r\nDon\'t forget that the purpose of the database is to support the distribution of shows. The shows are primarily distributed using RSS and therefore we do not have a choice in the data model, as that is imposed upon us. While a show->host may be better modeled in a Relational database as a many to many relationship the fact is that in a RSS Item element it is a 1:1 relationship. As in: there can be only one //item/author element in the feed, so what we are trying to do isn\'t even possible in RSS 2.0. In the Atom syndication standard it is possible to do it using either multiple atom:author or atom:contributor elements. However even in that case it is still a 1:n relationship and not a many to many. A show is an independent item and has 1 or more authors or 0 or more contributors.\r\n\r\nAlso the use of an RDBMS is a legacy of our history and could change in the future. As DeepGeek suggested a long time ago, it should be possible to run the entire system using XSLT to merge XML fragments. This is now well supported by Atom (atom:source) and HTML5 (html:article). In this case the back end could conceivably not even have a database.\r\n\r\nAs Dave is aware, I may change my mind over night and accept your vision but today I\'m still not convinced. \r\n\r\n- https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification#ltauthorgtSubelementOfLtitemgt\r\n- https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287#page-24\r\n- https://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/sections.html#the-article-element\r\n- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database\r\n\r\nKen.','2022-02-14 13:17:17'),
(910,1569,'2014-08-11 17:38:05','Mike Ray','Scalability','Hello Ken.  I take your point about XML Atom feeds.  A big drawbig of XML is it is stuck with representing top-down, tree-like structures.\r\n\r\nWhat you are doing by putting a comma-seperated list of values in a single column of a table is turning another table through 90 degrees.  The problem, apart from the obvious one of there now being data items in this table that are not identified by the key, is one of scalability.  How long is the field? 1024 characters?  What happens when it runs out of space?\r\n\r\nI know that in this application you are not exactly writing a multi-user client/server database application with many concurrent users and transactions happening every few tens of milliseconds, but compromises should not be made in the interest of programmer comfort with the SQL.  That ultimately leads to performance compromises.\r\n\r\nBut even with the largish number of shows to date and the number of hosts, it doesn\'t represent a big dataset.  But a system which can support something big from the start will not need tearing down and re-hashing as things grow.\r\n\r\nI guess your hands are a bit tied if you don\'t know the future platform resources, like whether you will always have a sensible RDBMS back-end available.\r\n\r\nMy show was pretty theoretical.  I\'m more used to large systems.  In the past I have worked on e-commerce systems for big vendors, and on world-wide client/server stuff.\r\n\r\nI usually take the attitude that a heavy-duty solution can handle small-fry without breaking into a sweat, but the reverse is not true.

I would expect it to be a descriptive string, perhaps one already used in a system, or maybe a new one. Usually you\'d want to refer to existing tags when tagging an entity in your database I imagine, so you can see if the tag is \"open source\" or \"open-source\".\r\n\r\nIn your interface, if you wanted to re-use a tag for a new entity then would be good if your system offered it in a menu or a list or let you start typing it and generated the matches as you type (like Google does in browsers). To do that you\'d need a searchable table containing one tag per row.  If you were typing in a tag and you made a typo the error would be more obvious in such a scheme. (You\'d need Javascript to do this in a browser though.)\r\n\r\nThen a tagged entity associated with many tags would have multiple entries in a cross-reference table. You\'d probably want to store your tags with a case-insensitive variant or build a case-insensitive index too.\r\n\r\nYou wouldn\'t want to store the tags in a comma-separated list in the entity (no idea why I thought of that design) since you couldn\'t then implement a rapid lookup as you typed. Plus you\'d have duplication, couldn\'t easily build an index, etc, etc.\r\n\r\nDoes that make sense? Mike can probably explain this more clearly :-)','2017-09-09 07:41:25'),

There is also a whole range of effects processing and other tools to amend the vocal output model. Its definitely not a light weight TTS solution, but I don\'t think that was ever the intention.\r\n\r\nI did notice that eSpeak can create static wav files using the -w switch so it probably wins there too.\r\n\r\nWhere MaryTTS or similar projects may win out over eSpeak would be to provide a more suitable voice to those who rely on speech synthesis to be able to speak. I recently heard this TED talk. https://www.ted.com/talks/rupal_patel_synthetic_voices_as_unique_as_fingerprints . The voices featured here appear to be a great improvement over MaryTTS, but I don\'t know what software they are using or if it is open source. ','2022-02-14 13:17:18'),

This was not clear and may lead someone to assume that VNC in itself is secure.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/dtg/attarchive/vnc/sshvnc.html\r\n\"VNC uses a random challenge-response system to provide the basic authentication that allows you to connect to a VNC server. This is reasonably secure; the password is not sent over the network. Once you are connected, however, traffic between the viewer and the server is unencrypted, and could be snooped by someone with access to the intervening network. We therefore recommend that if security is important to you, you \'tunnel\' the VNC protocol through some more secure channel such as SSH.\"\r\n\r\nEven the \"reasonably secure\" statement is challenged here:\r\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Network_Computing#Security\r\n\"By default, RFB is not a secure protocol. While passwords are not sent in plain-text (as in telnet), cracking could prove successful if both the encryption key and encoded password are sniffed from a network. For this reason it is recommended that a password of at least 8 characters be used. On the other hand, there is also an 8-character limit on some versions of VNC; if a password is sent exceeding 8 characters, the excess characters are removed and the truncated string is compared to the password.\"\r\n\r\nI have also seen VNC security questioned for not requiring a username and password.\r\n\r\nRecommendations:\r\nuse the -localhost option so that only local (and tunneled) connections are allowed\r\nuse ssh tunneling\r\nuse the maximum size password allowed','2022-02-14 13:17:18'),

I would like to make two additions to your explanations.\r\n\r\n1) Unison in fact does *not* need the GUI installed. To set up the profile, you can also use an editor with the help of the (admittedly longish) documentation. And if used with the options -auto -ui text (it may select -ui text automatically, if no GUI is installed), it will show you the file list on the terminal and ask you for input there if needed.\r\n\r\n2) To be more flexible in what can be synced (and to address your problem of capitalisation), I use the following trick:\r\n- Create a new subdirectory in ~/.unison for each profile (I call them \"-links\" with  being the ssh hostname for the remote sync partner). This subdirectory becomes the root directory for your profile.\r\n- Fill that subdir with symbolic links to the items you want to sync. E.g. cd ~/.unison/laptop-links &amp;&amp; ln -s /home/myname/Documents docs\r\n- That way the directory to be synced can be called whatever you like, as long as the two symlinks have the same name on both sides.\r\n- This also allows me to sync single files within a directory (e.g. ~/.vimrc) but not the dir itself, and also to sync directories that don&rsquo;t share the same root, such as ~/docs and /mnt/data/music.\r\n- Lastly, to make it all work, you must tell Unison to follow the symlinks you made. For this, add this to the profile config:\r\nfollow = Regex [^/]+\r\nThe Regex (regular expression) simply matches any character that is not a slash, hence everything on the topmost directory level (until the first slash).\r\n\r\nCheers.','2017-09-09 07:41:25'),

New York, NY: WW Norton &amp;\r\nCompany, inc.\r\n\r\nISBN 0-393-05794-1\r\n\r\nRecipe is on page 232.\r\n\r\n\r\nNeeded equipment: (not in recipe, but it\'ll save you time)\r\n\r\nRolling pins, 1 per person is best\r\nClean counters or cutting boards\r\nTea Towels or Oiled plastic for covering dough\r\n        We usually go with the towels to cover.\r\nBrush suitable for use with butter\r\nSkillet (cast iron or nonstick), bigger is better\r\nAn extra skillet &amp; spice grinder if using whole spices\r\nTurner suitable for use on skillet\r\nCouple of mixing bowls\r\nMeasuring spoons\r\nStand mixer or food processor capable of mixing dough (or by hand)\r\nFood scale\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n290g (2c) Whole Wheat Flour, as fresh as possible\r\n(alternately, equal parts Whole Wheat &amp; Unbleached All-Purpose Flour)\r\n6.6g (1t) salt\r\n11.7g (1.5t) dry milk\r\n177g (3/4c) water at room temperature\r\n\r\nThis makes one batch of dough. The filling recipe below fills two\r\nbatches of dough. (We made 4 batches of dough as you may recall.)\r\n\r\n(It is possible to swap half the water with scalded milk that has been\r\ncooled back to lukewarm. We did not do this; we used the dry milk.)\r\n\r\nThe recipe itself calls for a Food Processor or to do it by hand. We\r\nused a stand mixer, so this is somewhat from memory.\r\n\r\nWhisk together all of the dry ingredients first until well-blended. Then\r\nmix in the water. We mixed for about 5 minutes or so (the food processor\r\nsays 45 seconds; the hand method says 10-15 minutes). The dough will be\r\nsmooth, soft, and very slightly sticky. You should be able to handle it\r\neasily.\r\n\r\nLet the dough rest for 30 minutes to 3 hours.\r\n\r\n\r\nMEAT FILLING\r\nWe ended up using a lot more ground spices than whole spices. This is\r\nthe unmodified recipe in the book; it\'s more complicated than the\r\nsimplified version we used. Substituting ground &amp; dried spices is\r\neasier and more portable (we pre-mixed) but you lose flavor.\r\n\r\n28g (2T) of your favorite frying fat\r\nbay leaf\r\n3 whole cloves (or equivalent amount ground)\r\n1 cinnamon stick\r\n~142g (~1c) 1 medium onion, finely chopped\r\n2cm piece of ginger, peeled &amp; minced\r\n3 medium garlic cloves, minced\r\n1/2T coriander seeds (no weight noted)\r\n1/2T cumin seeds (no weight noted)\r\n1/2t ground turmeric\r\n1T plain yogurt (we often use strained (\"Greek\") yogurt)\r\n1T tomato sauce (we often use paste)\r\n\r\n454g (1lb) beef, preferably chuck (85% lean, 15% fat).\r\n        Too lean and the mixture is dry; too rich and you\'ll have to drain\r\nout flavor.\r\n\r\n1/8t ground mace\r\n        we substitute allspice, even though it\'s not similar at all.\r\n        You may just wish to double the nutmeg.\r\n1/8t ground nutmeg, preferably fresh grated\r\n5g (3/4t) salt\r\n1/2t cayenne pepper\r\n        recipe calls for 1/4 to 1/2. We recommend 1/2.\r\n1/4c water\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile the dough is resting, start the filling. It will keep 3 days,\r\nand this makes enough to fill TWO batches of dough.\r\n\r\nHeat frying fat over medium heat until hot.\r\nAdd bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and cloves.\r\nFry until the bay leaf gets a bit dark.\r\n(if not using whole spices, skip this step and jump right to the onion.)\r\n\r\nLower the heat (to low), add onion, ginger and garlic; saut&eacute; &amp; stir.\r\nIn about 10 minutes onion will darken to medium brown.\r\n\r\nWhile this is going on: Dry-roast coriander &amp; cumin seeds over medium\r\nheat about 2 minutes. They should smell fragrant. Allow them to cool,\r\nthen grind in your spice grinder. If not using whole spices, ignore\r\nthis section.\r\n\r\nAdd coriander, cumin, and turmeric to onion mixture, saut&eacute; for 2\r\nminutes; stir constantly. Add yogurt; stir 1 minute. Add tomato sauce;\r\nstir &amp; cook 3 minutes.\r\n\r\nAdd meat, raise heat to medium. Saut&eacute;, break up lumps with your\r\nspoon/spatula/turner, until meat is browned.\r\n\r\nAdd mace, nutmeg, salt, cayenne, and water. Lower heat to lowest\r\npossible setting. Cover. Simmer for 45 minutes. If all the water\r\nevaporates, add more a small amount at a time. The mixture should be\r\ndry when you are done.\r\n\r\nLet filling cool, then remove the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and cloves\r\n(if you used whole spices. They are a pain to fish out; we tend not to\r\nuse whole spices for these three.)\r\n\r\n(Broam\'s note: also the cooking time is a bit much. We didn\'t let it\r\ngo 45 minutes; we cooked it on low until most of the water evaporated,\r\nthen let the mixture cool.)\r\n\r\n\r\n48g (1/4c) clarified butter / ghee\r\n        (Broam sez: You can substitute regular unsalted butter, or you can\r\nattempt to clarify it yourself, which is a bit labor intensive. Don\'t\r\nuse vegetable ghee, unless you\'re a vegan.)\r\n\r\n\r\nShape Dough:\r\nDivide dough into 8 even pieces; roll into balls. (The recipe has you\r\nroll into a long rope, then cut. This is not strictly necessary). Work\r\nwith one piece of dough at a time lest the others dry out.\r\n\r\nWith floured fingers, flowered rolling pin, and a floured surface,\r\nflatten the balls of dough and roll into a 12cm (5\") circle. Flour the\r\ndough lightly if it sticks. Once rolled out, brush the excess flour\r\noff. Brush the dough lightly with clarified butter, fold over, and\r\nbrush again. Fold over one more time.\r\n\r\nAfter all the balls are buttered and folded, roll them out again. The\r\nrecipe says that you should be able to roll these into an 18cm (7\")\r\nround but we have never gotten our dough that stretchy.\r\n\r\nPlace 1/4c of the meat filling on top of the dough. Take another piece\r\nand place it on top of the first piece. Fold the edges over 1cm (1/4\")\r\nand press to seal in the filling.\r\n\r\nFlip the filled parathas over and use the rolling pin very gently. The\r\nmeat should not come through the dough.\r\n\r\n(Broam says: Do not stack the parathas when finished. They\'ll stick\r\nand it\'s a *nightmare* to separate them.)\r\n\r\n\r\nFRY The Parathas\r\n\r\nHeat large skillet over medium-low.\r\n\r\nBrush pan with remaining clarified butter.\r\nPlace paratha in (you can cook a few at a time if they\'re small), fry\r\nfor 90 seconds. Brush surface with butter. Flip. Fry 60 seconds.\r\n\r\nThe dough may puff up a bit but will deflate when it\'s removed from\r\nthe heat. (Broam says: ours never do. YMMV).\r\n\r\n\r\nSERVE the Parathas\r\n\r\nCut into 4 wedges. Keep finished parathas warm in a low oven (\"warm\"\r\nsetting) covered with foil while you cook the rest. (You can stack\r\nthem here.)\r\n\r\nCan also be eaten at room temperature. Will keep overnight.','2017-09-09 07:41:25'),

So thank you for recording it.\r\n\r\nIn the podcast you discussed what it might take to have audio drama become a viable paying outlet of \"content\". You seemed to focus particularly on making audio drama a first class citizen in the existing marketplaces (e.g. Amazon or iTunes). That is certainly one way to go. However, those places are just retailers, and they retail what is already popular. I don\'t think you can actually count on them to innovate in this space.\r\n\r\nI wonder if a better way to develop a market for audio drama is to build your audience and provide an easy way for fans to pay for content. Crowd sourcing patronage seems to be getting some traction. Patreon, for instance, provides a platform for creators to reach their fans directly and for fans to directly compensate their favorite creators. Snowdrift coop is a platform that might suitable for creative commons style work (assuming it launches successfully). \r\n\r\nIt\'s still a heck of a lot of hard work, but if you followed a patronage model, the the hardwork of building a fan base won\'t get filtered by the business models of the retailers whose interest don\'t necessarily align with either the creators or the fans. Additionally, a patronage model can provide a base for successful creators to make inroads into the more traditional (mainstream) marketplaces.\r\n','2017-09-09 07:41:26'),

It was entertaining to listen to you doing every single step and seeing you do it before my minds eye. I\'d never thought about describing it in such detail, but you have a point there. Surely there are a lot of listeners just starting out with this stuff and you pick them up right at the beginning, to lead them further on.\r\n\r\nThe 3V3 are sorted out by Mike, so let me comment on the \"speaker\". It\'s worth noting that whenever you say speaker, you actually mean \"buzzer\". The buzzer includes already some electronics to generate the tone, so we hear the beep. With a speaker (or headphone,...) on its own, you only will hear crackling sounds the moment you close or break the circuit. Due to the low resistance of the speaker coil, there can be a high current flowing, which might damage it. So when using a speaker, please add a series resistor or capacitor. \r\n\r\nRegards,\r\nMichael\r\n','2017-09-09 07:41:26'),

I agree about the scores, although you can get just about any public-domain scores for free in PDF format from the IMSLP website. The cool thing about these new scores is that you can get the source code and edit it. For example, near the end of the semester I grabbed the Musescore file for the fugue that I talked about in this episode and converted it to Lilypond code, then added a bunch of analytical markup in the code itself, things like text boxes, labels, and different colors for the noteheads to show where the fugue subject appeared, tell what key it had modulated to, etc. With the PDF the best that I could\'ve done would be to scribble all over it. When you have access to the source code you can do this kind of analytical markup much more elegantly. I\'ve also taken bits of these scores and use them to create the midi examples in my counterpoint book. Great projects all around by Kimiko Ishizaka!','2017-09-09 07:41:26'),

This why the SSDs controller can add those blocks to its free-list and reallocate the underlying flash-cell as soon as all logical blocks are freed - or remap the leftover logical blocks to free the rest of the flash-cell.\r\n\r\nOops, got a little long, didn\'t IR? ^^\"','2017-09-09 07:41:27'),

Yes, doing so may ultimately increase the expected lifetime of the drive, but you\'re missing out on the greatest benefits of the SSD by doing so. SSDs are extremely fast for random access patterns, but for sequential operations (such as reading or writing large files) they aren\'t significantly faster than spinning disks. The parts of your system that perform the most random access operations are likely to be swap and /var. Speeding up swap is quite possibly the single best application for an SSD in a linux system.','2017-09-09 07:41:27'),

One could put a start and endpoint to the maze in that case.\r\n\r\nThe traversal algorithm through a maze generated like that would probably just be a right-hand-rule variant since the walls would be a single connected component.

I\'m wondering if there\'s a good way to then take that and \"shake it up a little\" to allow for disconnected wall segments, and such while retaining much of the pleasingness.\r\n\r\nOf course there\'s another possibility:  add the notion of \"teleporters\" to the maze.  :)\r\n\r\nThanks for the insight and the algorithm.

I am considering using a pi to serve my HP LJ-2200 printer to my home network.\r\n\r\nThe DEC LN03 uses RS-232/RS-422 for the serial connection.  You should be able to use a USB-to-serial converter.  I used an LN03 with PC clones and was able to run the serial link as fast as 19200 baud.  User manual will indicate how to set serial parameters via dip switches near the data connector.\r\n\r\nI suggest verifying the print engine still works by printing a few test pages before trying to connect to a computer.  I think there is a small square white button on the back that initiates printing of a test page.\r\n\r\nIt is probably difficult now to get toner or replacement parts like feed rollers for the LN03.  When a nylon gear inside my LN03 fractured, I finally ditched that printer -- after about 20 years of use in a home office.\r\n\r\nBe aware that there are a few different LN03 models.  Mine was a rare \"image\" printer that would only accept postscript.  The model will determine what driver and settings you need to use.\r\n\r\nThe LN03 always keeps the fuser unit hot.  This is a big power consumer and harsh to the mechanics that transport paper and the photo-sensitive band.\r\n\r\nThere used to be USB to parallel converters available for purchase.  If you can find one of those you might be able to easily connect to the matrix printer.\r\n\r\n- Bob Evans','2017-09-09 07:41:27'),

If this gas cools it just becomes liquid water again.

Both the UK and the USA variants of English have been evolving in their own directions for hundreds of years. Spelling gelled in Britain earlier than in the US but the French variants became popular on this side of the Atlantic. Thus cheque/check with the French spelling being ch&egrave;que. There\'s a tendency for both \"sides\" to tell the other they\'re wrong. I try to resist this personally.\r\n\r\nThanks for the explanation of \"duplex check\". I don\'t think anything like this has existed here. We simply note things like the date, payee and amount on a stub which remains in the cheque book after the cheque has been torn out, and tally them up from there.\r\n\r\nIn my case I use electronic transfer for almost everything these days.

I still have it and am just in the process of resurrecting it.\r\n\r\nThere are various opinions about \"wet\" pens (I\'ve heard them described as \"juicy\" too). A broad nib needs plenty of ink to be delivered because it deposits more. Finer nibs conversely need less. However, much lower-quality paper doesn\'t suit wetter pens as the ink tends to sink in and \"feather\" or bleed through. On the other hand, a drier pen can be frustrating as the ink feed often doesn\'t keep up with the writing. Many factors to consider!\r\n\r\nI\'m glad you\'re enjoying the Metro. I\'d love to see the Sheaffer - we need a show on your experiences :-)\r\n\r\nAnother aspect of fountain pen usage you might enjoy is the huge selection of inks that is available.

However, these are being sold as suitable for the Pi 3, though I imagine this is more to do with the size. Seems odd though.\r\n\r\nThe Pibow cases are made of quite thin acrylic - 2.8mm thick according to my digital callipers. Some layers have quite narrow pieces which wrap around items on the board like the USB connectors. Also you have to remove a protective film from each layer, which can put strain on these narrow parts as you peel it off. I have nearly snapped them on occasion, but the trick is to be slow and steady as you peel and support the weaker pieces. Once assembled the layers above and below keep everything nice and firm I find.\r\n\r\nHi JWP!\r\n\r\nThere\'s nothing inherently wrong with Nano, it\'s simple to use and does the job. I used Pico (on a VAX Cluster running VMS where it was the editor for the Pine mail client) for many years. However, it was a tremendous relief to move away to a more powerful editor like EDT and TPU on the VAX, then Emacs and Vi/Vim on Unix.\r\n\r\nFinding myself presented with Nano is a shock when my fingers and brain are trying to operate in Vim mode, so I want to install Vim as soon as I can - preferably with my own .vimrc and all the plugins I normally use!','2017-09-09 07:41:31'),

I used \'%s\' because I\'ll be using the prompt string as a format definition for printf, and \'%s\' means \"substitute a string of arbitrary length here\".\r\n\r\nThe use of printf to write the prompt string allows  the format to be defined when calling the function. The way it\'s laid out is:\r\n\r\nprintf -v prompt \"$prompt\" \"[Y/n]\" \r\n\r\nbecause the \'-v prompt\' saves the result in variable \'prompt\' (rewrites it).\r\nThe  \"$prompt\" is the format string like when you do:\r\n\r\nprintf \"The answer is %d\\n\" 42\r\n\r\ngiving:\r\n\r\nThe answer is 42\r\n\r\nIn this case however, the text to be substituted for \'%s\' is \"[Y/n]\".\r\n\r\nNone of this would work with:\r\n\r\nprompt=\"${prompt} [Y/n]\"\r\n\r\nIn my example function call above you\'d get \'prompt\' containing:\r\n\r\n\"Do you want to continue? %s  [Y/n]\"\r\n\r\nNo substitution would happen.\r\n\r\nOf course you could redesign the function to simply append the \"[Y/n]\" to the prompt in the way you did.

There is the matching word \"Projektor\" in German, just no one is using it to reference to a data projector. \r\nAlas, it is so common these days to call things by, what some people think might be, the English term for it.

I can\'t say a lot in detail but I\'ve worked before on desktop client software which monitors the telemetry served up by microcontrollers embedded in communication equipment used by French Metro systems.  It all stems from an overhaul of comms equipment that happened after the Mont Blanc tunnel fire highlighted that the systems used by all three emergency services involved could not communicate with each other.\r\n\r\nThe original protocol we developed was bespoke, but since the explosion in IOT and other such things customers are now much more fussy about the protocols in use and having them meet standards.\r\n\r\nA lot of folks are trying to stretch the point with SNMP, especially version 3 since it supports encryption, but in my opinion this is an incorrect use of the protocol which is designed to do exactly what it says on the tin, manage networks.\r\n\r\nSince MQTT already has found use in railway systems and complies with Cenelec we may be able to pursuade customers to abandon their misuse of SNMP and adopt MQTT','2017-09-09 07:41:35'),

If nobody is online at the moment, your message will be lost in cyberspace, and you may or may not be told that this happened.\r\n2. If you have several clients online, they have priorities set to determine which client should get the messages delivered to it.\r\n\r\nSo what these XEPs do is that they add the ability to:\r\n\r\n1. Store-and-forward, so that the server holds any incoming messages, and delivers them when you get back online.\r\n\r\n2. Carbon-copy, which means that all clients currently connected will get any incoming messages, rather than just one of the clients.\r\n\r\n3. Message storage, which I\'m not sure how it\'s handled, but I suppose the server can back-fill a connecting client so that any messages received since last time will be sent to it, even if other clients have already received those messages.\r\n\r\nI\'m just inferring this from comments and from the titles of the extensions, I haven\'t actually used them.\r\n\r\nNow, talking about \"naked XMPP\" is probably not fair, because these extensions are supported by several XMPP servers, including the original ejabberd project and the rather popular Prosody project.','2017-09-09 07:41:35'),

(1880,2216,'2017-02-04 13:57:46','Michael (mirwi), DL4MGM','Doppler shift','Hello Christopher,\r\n\r\nyou were wondering, why the Doppler shift was on the transmit side for the AO-85 satellite. Well, there is always Doppler shift on the uplink and downlink frequencies. Up and down are separated by using different frequency bands of 2m (VHF,145MHz) and 70cm (UHF,435MHz). As Doppler shift scales with frequency, it is obvious that the effect is thrice as severe on the 70cm frequency as opposed to 2m. Amsat Oscar 85 (AO-85) has a U/V transponder, which means the transmit direction towards the satellite is on UHF and thus experiences the greater Doppler shift. Some other satellites have V/U transponders, where the bigger shift effect will be seen on the output of the satellite. \r\n\r\nAnother entry for the list of things to explain, in a separate show or the amateur round table: \"What is this Doppler shift all about?\" The best way to demonstrate it would probably be a recording of the telegraphy telemetry beacon, many of the birds have, where you can easily hear the pitch of the tone changing while the satellite passes.\r\n\r\nBTW, I was not even aware that there was an AO-85... I have to keep more updated on this. :-)\r\n\r\nRegards,\r\nMichael','2017-09-09 07:41:36'),
