null | loganabbott | null | Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to give a bit of background on the recent history surrounding SourceForge in case any CodePlex project developers are looking for a new open source home.
My company acquired SourceForge in January of 2016 and have been improving significantly. We welcome any CodePlex devs and projects that would like to move over to SourceForge. We support git and svn.
To migrate to SourceForge you can use the following options:
[GitHub importer](https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/GitHub%20Importer/)
[SVN importer](https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/SVN%20Import/)
We acquired SourceForge and Slashdot in January of 2016 from DHI Group (also known as DICE). The first thing we did after we took over was [remove](https://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-acquisition-and-future-plans/) [bundled adware](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/06/under-new-management-sourceforge-moves-to-put-badness-in-past/) from projects.
We also now [scan all projects for malware](https://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-now-scans-all-projects-for-malware-and-displays-warnings-on-downloads/) in case third party developers are adding their own adware.
SourceForge also now [supports HTTPS support for Project Websites as well as HTTPS downloads of all projects.](https://sourceforge.net/blog/introducing-https-for-project-websites/)
In addition, SourceForge also now [supports 2-factor authentication.](https://sourceforge.net/blog/introducing-multifactor-authentication-on-sourceforge/)
We also have a big UX redesign coming very soon.
In the past, SourceForge has also taken heat for deceptive ads that may look like download buttons. To this end we have a full time team member that polices the site and blacklists deceptive ads that sneak in via programmatic ad exchanges. We also released a self-serve tool where users can report those misleading or deceptive ads that sneak in via programmatic ad exchanges so that we can blacklist them right away. We’re committed to restoring trust in SourceForge and building out some cool new features.
Up to date improvements can be found [here](https://sourceforge.net/blog/category/site-news/) going forward.
I also did an [AMA on Reddit here](https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/4n3e1s/the_state_of_sourceforge_since_its_acquisition_in/) for those interested in more information. I am always available on Twitter [@loganabbott](https://twitter.com/loganabbott) as well. | null | 0 | 1491064401 | False | 0 | dfp3dg5 | t3_62n5mx | null | null | t3_62n5mx | null | 1493708112 | 8 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

It's not FTP. It's any system you have of moving files onto a server. You could use Capistrano or Chef to manage your plugins if you wanted.

null | chriswarbo | null | Coq can get pretty nasty; it consists of two separate languages:
- Gallina is a dependently typed, pure functional programming language, but it's quite verbose and unintuitive to work with (e.g. dependent pattern matching is a pain https://coq.inria.fr/refman/Reference-Manual020.html )
- Ltac is an untyped, imperative programming language with clunky syntax and a huge pile of keywords. Ltac is used for metaprogramming, which it achieves using side-effects. For example, if we want to define a value inductively we might use some Ltac like the following:
```
intro; induction n; exact x; auto.
```
Coq provides an implicit stack of "goals": types, each of which we need to provide a value for. Our first Ltac statement, `intro`, assumes that the top of the stack has a goal like:
a : T1, b : T2, ... |- forall c : T3, d
and, as a side-effect, changes that goal into the form:
foo : T3, a : T1, b : T2, ... |- d[c/foo]
Where `foo` is a fresh name, chosen arbitrarily (varies based on the context, Coq version, etc.). The next statement, `induction n`, assumes that there's an `n : T` in the context (i.e. to the left of the `|-`) of the goal at the top of the stack. It will pop that goal off, and push one goal for each inductive case of type `T`, with `n` replaced by the corresponding constructor. Note that Ltac statements like `induction` are a (convoluted, imperative, side-effecting) form of pattern matching; which is why Gallina is so impoverished: everyone just uses Ltac instead.
Our third statement, `exact x`, assumes that the top of the stack contains a goal of the form:
x : T, ... |- T
We tell Coq to use the term `x` as the solution of this goal, which gets popped off the stack. The statement `auto` runs a search procedure, checking if the current goal matches a variety of simple forms, solving it (popping it off the stack) if so. For example, it will solve goals which match something already in the context (like the `exact x` example).
As you might imagine, this is a *horrible* way of programming/proving. The nice, compositional, pure, functional approach of Gallina is inadequate for even relatively simple uses of dependent types, forcing us to use Ltac. Ltac code has all of the uncomposable, context-dependent, horribleness of imperative programming: if the stack doesn't exactly match what we expect, it will fail; if the names chosen by `intro` vary, it will fail; changing the order of some definitions in one part of a codebase will switch around the stack outputs of statements like `induction`, breaking subsequent code; and so on.
Systems like Agda are *much* nicer to use, since they can use pure functional programming, pattern-matching, etc. for basically everything, rather than relying on imperative metaprogramming like Ltac (although you may run into theoretical issues, e.g. Agda's powerful pattern-matching relies on the K axiom, which is incompatible with Univalence, so you may need to set commandline options accordingly if you want to use the latter). So the more relevant question would be, why use Idris instead of Agda?
Idris is much more like Agda than Coq. The differences mostly come Idris viewing itself as a programming language, whilst Agda is often viewed as an interactive theorem prover. Hence Idris includes "programming in the large" niceties like type classes, syntax extension, name overloading, multiple compiler targets, a nice intermediate language ("TT"), etc. Idris *does* have a proof tactic system, but it's not as much of a crutch as Ltac; I've dabbled in Idris quite a bit, but never had reason to use its tactics system. | null | 0 | 1491065745 | 1491145860 | 0 | dfp4b2v | t3_62scvv | null | null | t1_dfoutn7 | null | 1493708560 | 12 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

C# has System.Numerics, which uses SIMD instructions on supported platforms.
Javascript has [SIMD.js support in Firefox](https://blog.mozilla.org/javascript/2015/03/10/state-of-simd-js-performance-in-firefox/) and possibly other browsers.
Python and Ruby are both interpreted, so they're probably not using SIMD and have high costs otherwise that make it difficult to get much speed, even ignoring SIMD instructions. | null | 0 | 1491066338 | False | 0 | dfp4pwr | t3_62s54t | null | null | t1_dfov4qp | null | 1493708758 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
null | AlmightyBox | null | I know it's going to make many people angry, but I can't stand the open-source ecosystem as a whole. It created a "I'm sure there's a plugin/extension/module/add-on for that!" mindset which has created many lazy would-be programmers over the years. People that **think** they can 'build' a website or web application, but whose knowledge doesn't go further than using a CMS such as Wordpress and bloating it with a couple of dozen of ancient plugins written by random strangers online.
As a developer, actually **making** something custom for a typical open-source monstrosity such as Wordpress is a terrible experience. The API and documentation are outdated, incomplete and often don't make sense. Which results on you having to go online to some random forum where one random stranger after another gives you yet another random 'solution' which won't do the job for you. In the end, all of these products are 'use at your own risk' and nobody is formally responsible for when your installation breaks once again because some version or plugin isn't compatible anymore.
Yes, I'm one of those developers that would much rather "reinvent the wheel" than having to use a bloated out-of-the-box product such as Wordpress. To be fair, Wordpress (or Drupal, or Joomla) is absolutely fine for a typical, static, company page with a couple of pages with static information and perhaps even a contact form. But for everything else, ugh. I'll take full control and knowledge over every line of code that I've written in my applications over these CMS`es that claim to be able to do everything I need. | null | 0 | 1491066793 | 1491121201 | 0 | dfp51f6 | t3_62mxpp | null | null | t3_62mxpp | null | 1493708912 | 4 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Every useful processor in existence already has an overflow checker! Except you can't access it via C.
Trying to check for overflows in C without adding more undefined behaviour is pretty difficult, because you still have to add ints.

There's a bunch of CAT2 findings related to auditing, and the fixes have the following paragraph:
"Using 'pgaudit' the DBMS (PostgreSQL) can be configured to audit these requests. See supplementary content `APPENDIX-B` for documentation on installing 'pgaudit'."
So, opening up the supplementary context, we find these instructions in Appendix B for installing pgaudit:
$ cd /usr/pgsql-9.5/share/contrib/
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/pgaudit/pgaudit.git
$ cd ./pgaudit $ sudo PATH=/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin:

Yes, replacing some URL in some template isn't a lot of work.
The problem is that it's a silent error which has to be reported to you by a user. Even if you update your site frequently, you won't necessarily notice an error like that if you aren't making use of that library on every page.

null | ziman | null | Coq is a proof assistant, Idris is a programming language.
You can do either in both but your experience will be different. For example, dependent types in Coq are usually used to prove theorems, while Idris is trying to figure out how dependent types can help reduce the cost of writing correct software — with the focus on "writing software" rather than "proving all correctness properties you can think of".
So it might be better to compare Idris to Haskell, which is used to write programs in order to run them (and already have good chances to be correct once they pass the typechecker). Idris then gives you ways to strengthen your types a bit — or a bit more, if you decide to — in order to achieve the desired balance of effort vs. correctness guarantees. | null | 0 | 1491068698 | False | 0 | dfp6cws | t3_62scvv | null | null | t1_dfoutn7 | null | 1493709547 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
