I would even go so far as to say that shipping with root certificates undermines the security of every user by APPEARING to verify identity, when in reality you're just trusting Mozilla, Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc., and they cannot possibly verify any fraction of the CAs that are handed out daily.
I've played with it and it works over a headless server instance through an ssh session, so I think it does not require X11
You look at a map of interesting roads, maybe look at satellite imagery of the area if you're not at all familiar with it, and take your 4x4 out for a drive.

Go slow, keep your eyes open, and you'll probably see a spot which looks perfect to camp at in no time.
there is an option though: accept what you’re calling technical debt (though honestly, calling vendor lock-in technical debt reduces that term to meaningless in my opinion)... there’s nothing technically wrong with it.. you can create something well designed in excel or it can be shitty.

Anyway, it’s a risk like any other, and it may often be worth it. The alternative of switching to libreoffice is not free, and can truly be more costly than some office licenses and the risk that Microsoft will drop or fuck up excel (which most consider low)...

Personally having earnestly tried to do some complex work in libreoffice calc and running into just bugs and poor polish (error handling anyone?), it is not an experience I elect to relive... I still feel locked in to Excel as my life is too short to waste on the inferior product.
If you're okay with living in a shared accomodation and have to skills to do remote work it's doable.
I agree that we definately need healthy competition in this space.

But, there may be other reasons why it doesn't work for some people: supply and demand. Those demographics that are in high demand will find that they have a lot of dating choices, for instance (women in their 20s are in extremely high demand) whereas older women have a much harder time. You can see this reflected in the # of profiles per age group. In the 20-30 group there's almost 3 to 1 ratio of males to females, at least in SF, when I last did the count. On other hand male to female ratio is almost even in the 40-50. and for over 50 males will have a big advantage because there's more women than men.
32 cores at good price point. Now there's no reason to lease all those VM's and use kubernetes. Unless of course, we are all I/O bound due to the bulk of the work being telemetry and tracking. hmm....

Appscript is pretty cool! Is there anyway to produce a bundle and distribute to other machines without Appscript installed?
Very true, It strikes me as what Yahoo answers wanted to be.
How ignorant of you to paint someone as paranoid when they question that state actors would want to spy on US businesses or interest when the precedent exists on several scales.
Point noted.

The design of the website & the newsletter is definitely one thing I am getting quite a bit of feedback on. In fact, I already have the contact of a web designer, only problem is that it will set me back around $2K. (of course I could be over-quoted here.)

With zero revenue right now, I think it only make sense for me to juggle with a bit more color combinations. :(
I have used WindowsBuilder as WYSIWYG UI design tool for GWT. It made GWT UI development a whole lot simpler. Thanks Google !
Hi redspininc - I see you've only just now registered an account here. Welcome.

I do note, however, that this submission is to your own web site. Is there anything here that we haven't see in the past 47 submissions on this topic?

http://searchyc.com/submissions/gawker?sort=by_date

If there is, you might want to highlight it carefully, lest you be accused of "blogspam"
I don't want to know if my apps read my contact db, I want to know when and how much they read it. I do not trust them to tell me this. So, wireshark it is.

Also why would you ever criticize recreational protocol analysis? Especially on here.
Done!

Your reaction is exactly the kind of thinking the author was trying to remedy. You should not be surprised at something that bizarre happening once in thousands of shootings. There are so many variables at play (what the person is wearing, their body composition, what exactly the bullet strikes in their body, at what angle, and so on) that trying to predict what happens based on the caliber of the gun is like trying to predict the relative performance of two computer programs based on what language they're implemented in. Sure, there are strong theoretical reasons for favoring one language or handgun over another, and you could easily discern patterns over a reasonable number of sufficiently similar cases, but there are so many other variables that in any particular case all you can offer is a statistically justified guess that could easily turn out to be wrong because of information you weren't given. If I told you Python beat C on six straight performance tests, you probably wouldn't be surprised; you'd just surmise that all six tests involved tasks for which Python has highly optimized libraries. Or you might guess that the Python programmers in all six tests were more skilled than their C counterparts. That would happen by chance from time to time. So why couldn't other variables in the roommate story align to create an outcome that would not be expected based solely on the caliber of the weapon? It could and does happen; that was the author's message. Maybe the second roommate was a huge guy wearing a thick jacket, and each of the bullets struck his ribcage at a lucky angle (after being slowed down by several inches of jacket, fat, and muscle.)
I think more people would read more ibm dev articles if they changed the css a little bit
I think you're at least as capable as I am of determining when someone is speaking about an injury suffered first hand vs second/third/fourth hand retellings, and into which category most such comments on slashdot/reddit/HN fall.
The Wakemate website states that the device's battery lasts 2 to 3 days depending on your sleeping patterns. Battery estimates are bound to usage in every device from the Wakemate to your laptop. The reviewer realized that for him, the device lasts two days before needing a charge, and even then kept using it for the three days. As I already said, if you realize that your smartphone only lasts two days with your usage (even though the manufacturer might say that it can last up to three), it would be stupid to keep trying to use it for three days.

It's user error to rely on estimates of 11 or 12 hours when you discover that you drain the battery faster than said estimates.
Anyone have some insight on how this would compare performance-wise with Celery + RabbitMQ?
This has made me want to change our entire corporate website to use exclusively Comic Sans on every page.

Best laugh i've had in ages.
It also occurred to me just now that original phrase presents the road from two different points of view: it is an obstacle, as its length separates you from your goal, but it is also the means to reach your goal. Does this make sense?
The same way you build the integers. Built it out of pairs.

a --> (a,0)

-a --> (0,a)

succ((a,0)) = (a+1,0)

pred((a,0)) = (a,0+1)
The Unix people have thought of these things. You can easily do them with command line tools.

> Operational Supportability: How do you monitor the operation ?

Downloading files with wget will create files and directories as it proceeds. You can observe and count them to determine progress, or pass a shell script to xargs that writes whatever progress data you like to a file before/after calling wget.

> Restart Recovery: Do you have the ability to restart the operation mid way through if something fails ?

wget has command line options to skip downloading files that already exist. Or you can use tail to skip the number of lines in the input file as there exist complete entries in the destination directory.

> Maintainability: Can we run the same application on our desktop as on our production servers ?

I'm not sure how this is supposed to be an argument against using the standard utilities that are on everybody's machine already.

> Extensibility: Can we extend the platform easily to do X, Y, Z after the crawling ?

Again, what? Extensibility is the wheelhouse of the thing you're complaining about.
I hope they don't do the same with Azlo, because that would suck a lot.
> "When I publish a new page, I need to link to it manually from the index page. I’m OK with that. It’s done in one line. It also allows me to have more control over when I want the page to be “published”."

I've sometimes wondered whether pg's essays are done with just HTML and CSS — it kinda looks that way, [0] but I'm not expert enough to be able to tell.

Where is Wire? Open source, free personal accounts available, can deploy on-prem (or in your own cloud), and can be used in a web browser rather than needing an installed client like Signal. Best of all: you don't need a phone number to set up an account!

Interestingly, my wife and I both have separate Simple accounts. I haven't gotten the email, but my wife has.
I remote into a desktop from a laptop so the power is always there and I can be portable if i need to. Also has the benefit that I can work on any device that has an rdp client (android, ios, rpi, etc)

The laptop only needs to drive the display(s) so anything made in last few years should suffice. Currently using a surface go.
In modern law the use of deadly force is only allowed to prevent a felony IF that felony create a substantial risk of death or bodily harm.

I mean, get real. You can't just shoot people for breaking windows or stealing. The fact that this is unclear to anyone is appalling.
Family is easy. They have a necessity to keep in touch with me, so they'll use whatever I tell them to.

Friends is the one that's hard. In my case it's WeChat not WhatsApp. I only use WeChat because a huge fraction of my friends use only WeChat and nothing else. Considering the stronghold WeChat has in China now it's almost impossible to get anyone to switch at least until something else in China can compete with it.

I have a separate phone just for WeChat because of the number of egregious privacy violations it appears to execute on my phone.
What's your experience with YNAB? I use Mint for balances and USAA's forecasting tool to see the future, but I'm not terribly happy with either.
> A minimal static site generator would keep internal links and boilerplate consistent.

Maybe not. There's an argument to be made that says you should treat a blog as a series of pages, each modeling something corresponding to what you might call a "publication event" in the real world, e.g. printing a magazine or passing around a physical memo. The consistency angle is probably overvalued (not worth its cost). When a newspaper or magazine changes its masthead, old issues don't get updated. You might say that this reflects a limitation of the physical medium and that you would if you could (as is the case with digital editions), but what does it get you, really? Your links to external sources are already going to lead to wildly different forms of presentation outside your control.

If an internal link leads to a page published in 2014, and it still matches the way it looked in 2014, is that a problem? (And if so, e.g. due to changes in fashion/trends that have led to it being intolerable, it's worth asking, "what makes it so?", "was it ever really tolerable, even in 2014?", and "is the material I'm publishing right now guilty of the same thing—its presentation only squeaking over the threshold of acceptability because of something else that's currently en vogue but soon won't be?")
The TV ad example is a false analogy. If the page has ads that you don't want to see you can close it(no one forces you to watch it) or go for the toilet break.

I agree that people hate ads and people also hate paying for things that can get for free(piracy).

You guys are missing my point of ad blockers being borderline piracy and mainly try to justify your reason for using them.
Because platforms generally make money from transaction fees, so they're reducing their revenues/profits if they adopt such things.

I guess the Newsweek article is bringing PG a lot of unwanted attention.

\ "there is no need for a marketing budget when youÂ’ve got Internet word of mouth.Â” Of course - build it and they will come right?

In PG's defense I don't think he meant to imply that if you build it they'll come. I think he was emphasising the power of Internet word of mouth for an Internet business as opposed to traditions marketing channels. BTW. It doesn't seem like the above quote was PG's, unless I'm mistaken.

That being said, the author made some valid points. For one, even if the YC hopefully know they gonna accept the offer even before applying, giving them 5 mins to respond, and then suggesting that anyone not responding within that time in unintelligent makes PG come of as arrogant, if not a bully.

Secondly, I don't think PG can be blamed for a YC founder's personal choice to leave his pregnant wife to pursue a startup (this is a far stretch from the true story) and poor dietary choices of YC founders.
It's funny, the author is calling the use of Comic Sans a typographical error whilst making his or her own typo's.
The correct (average) recommendation might not be static. If people didn't sit still as much 40 years ago, maybe they could eat more carbs without getting fat.
Here's a troubling analysis from a net neutrality supporter (who also supports this step):

http://www.publicknowledge.org/blog/fcc-network-neutrality-o...

On every single important and controversial question on what an “open Internet” actually means, — such as whether companies can create “fast lanes” for “prioritized” content or what exactly wireless providers can and cannot do — the actual language of the rules is silent, ambiguous, or even at odds with the text of the implementing Order. The only way to find out what protections consumers actually have will be through a series of adjudications at the FCC.

That seems to me the worst possible outcome; regulations (if legitimate at all) ought to offer clarity so companies don't have to wait for test cases to know what's allowed.

But vagueness is good for increasing the power and discretion of the FCC, and shaking out contributions to the political parties that appoint FCC commissioners. If it's all left up to FCC case-by-case discretion from here on out, businesses need the FCC to think warmly of them.
Thanks much!
For me (a hobbyist looking to be an entrepreneur), your response was spot on.
People often complain about his erratic and uncontrollable behaviour, but I find Theo de Raadt comes across entirely reasonable in this message.

What's the history there?
I have no idea if any of the following applies in your friend's case, but there could be a number of factors influencing such decision:

* family / friends / girlfriend
* leaving his home country
* having a nicer job
* not being tempted by the challenge
* not being tempted by the money
* being scared of the big jump

etc...
One of the comments to that post had Assembly as the hardest language to learn which is funny because it's really pretty easy. It's daunting at first but like high school biology, in order to succeed at assembly programming you need to do a lot of memorization. Memorization of mnemonics, memorization of registers, memorization of calling conventions, etc.

Once you've got the basics out of the way it becomes easy to stitch together code. In fact, once you get past the memorization (or find yourself a reference manual), it boils down a ton of simple operations. It's much simpler than all the other languages listed; there are no monads, no generics/templates, no Koenig lookup.
That makes sense but my experience of travelling in Asia is that a lot of people eat tons of white rice every day. Portions weren't significantly smaller than those I see in the U.S. either. Is white rice really that much better than white bread or is there more to the equation?
I think it is exactly the fact that they are using Symfony components. Symfony and a lot of other PHP frameworks went head first into the non-sensical enterprise Java abstraction and IoC hell from 10-15 years ago that current Java developers are running as fast as they can from. That overhead comes at a cost.
Shared hosting does mean that your provider is likely keeping their platform patched and up to date, which is possibly painful for you but likely nice for everyone else.

The alternatives seem to be giving customers a VM or a dedicated server which tends to mean it's _never_ going to get any security updates since the day it was first set up.

Shared hosting is a pain, but the alternatives have the potential for even more pain.
I had a look at the symptoms and I don't think it matches what I have. I believe my urine and stool test would have ruled out high mediators, although I can ask my GP next time if they were checking for that or not.

Ultimately I think my solution will be to go to a tertiary/quaternary center like Duke.
The other comments have covered almost all of what I'd say with these exceptions:

This company will stay alive until someone drops a dime to the IRS, at which point they'll reclassify everyone as a W-2 employee and demand income tax and FICA withholding from the boss, with interest and penalties. Unless he's put a lot in the bank from his exploitation of you all, he's not going to be able pay this (pity that he's personally liable for this; whatever the corporate structure is, this pierces the corporate veil).

You want to get out before this happens or before the IRS figures it out in some other way.

When you give notice he will almost certainly threaten you; it would be by far the best to ignore it (don't escalate, who knows how crazy he might get, ADDED: and it's best to keep in reserve, e.g. see the next paragraph), but if you can't ignore it you could always say "Be grateful I'm not reporting you to the IRS...."

If he seriously threatens you WRT to your non-compete, point out his vulnerability WRT the IRS. Unless and until he converts his employees to W-2 status (and I suppose pays his back due withholding), he's exquisitely vulnerable there.

As some have noted, don't bother to sue. At best you'd receive a pittance, per the above you might end up trying trying to collect from a bankrupt company/the owner. What you really need is closure, getting away from this bad situation which is no doubt slowly poisoning your attitudes towards work, upper management, etc.

This seems interesting but I'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly he is talking about. He starts out talking about the alt tag and then I start to lose him. Can anyone clarify or give some context?
Great follow through. I kind of agree with you. I'm not sure what I'd use the data for, but I sure did enjoy looking back on where I was.

My amusement outweighs my outrage.
I don't understand why it says "laptop". Why not my desktop machine?

Nice, but this is as far from devops as knitting. They covered CI, but there is CD, all the cloud stuff, containers, security and so on.
Awesome exactly what I was looking for. Because AdBlock Plus is extremely slow at times. Also uBlock provides many more filters. Thank You!
How does this combat my point? Are you referencing the line "correlation does not imply causation"? If so, never once did I imply that the sole cause of human trafficking is pornography.
I believe it's mostly people at Google pushing this feature. I don't think Apple had much of a say in it.
Use FoxyProxy and create rules that "whitelist" the sites you're working on
I'm really interested in the methods used to create this service and the learnings about rental behaviors associated. I'm also interested how this model might be able to scale to other cities and times to provide a continuously evolving model of price trends and predictions for goods and services.

The website is more or less algorithmic "magic" wrapped in a pretty UI, and I was hoping that you might have a blog post linked somewhere on the site so that I could read more about it.
