I'm not a very good K programmer, but no K example existed, so I posted mine:

http://rosettacode.org/wiki/99_Bottles_of_Beer#K

It fits in a tweet (exactly 140 characters right now ... but it can probably be shortened).
4 out of the 5 things you mentioned are in Rockmelt. And you can bet Rockmelt is doing analytics on the activities being performed.
> They'll just do it to you again if you do.

And to others too. Don't forget that a blackmailer that is successful is encouraged that 'the formula' works. If people en-bloc refuse to give in it will eventually stop.
Yes, it is unfathomable that people act like this. This stunt presents itself as an easy to understand trick that works like magic in making people do things like give you their wallet. This is appealing to viewers who can follow what's going on and can feel a sense of accomplishment in learning a new trick. I'm not saying this man was given a script or told exactly what to do. But I would say he was certainly part of a casting call and was "on the job" when this was filmed. The cameras were probably not even hidden.

419 scams are entirely different. They are typically sent out en-masse precisely because most people are not vulnerable to the scam. Also, they appeal to people's greed, the victims believe they will be getting a large sum of money for very little effort. On top of that, the victims are usually worked over for a period of time by seasoned con-artists before sending any money. There is no simple trick like here like handing someone a water bottle or saying a magic phrase.
Was there anything to suggest that it wasn't US-only? This is a Yale law student, after all.
That is not true in all locations. They have delivery specialist reqs open right now.

A look at the uploaded of the videos makes me think that they're not from Disney. Lots of videos with in game footage of video games in There that's really not relevant to Disney.

Plus, why stop DVD sales?
Mr. Gorrell does indeed get this wrong. (It's 'Rube', btw)
History is what people want history to be, E.g. the Native American Genocide.Always was, always will be.History is always the tool to justify the status quo.
DoD cares. They have a zero-tolerance policy and regular drug testing.

> without Wayland, if possible

What's wrong with Wayland?
Yeah; I'm pretty sure this isn't anything you can take advantage of. But I think the point of the post is a "isn't this neat?" rather than "because of an optimization one approach isn't as bad as it could be and you should take advantage of that".
The energy balance is going to be critical, I agree!

We are still working on finalizing all the inputs for this process, including regeneration amounts, amount of heat added, etc. Based on our early modeling, it seems the amount of heat generated from the capture will be negligible since the amount of CO2 moving through our system is much smaller than the amount of water available to provide cooling.

Our chemicals have anti-scaling properties, and we're working to understand corrosion across many different material types to ensure we don't cause more problems than we're solving.
He was up nearly $50M at one point. When he was posting daily updates you could cleary see he sold some and derisked himself by cashing out $13M, and that was clearly noticed and discussed in the highest upvoted comments, but the fact that he was also letting another $37M still ride was true (and crazy...diamond hands indeed...)
They said SF != The Bay Area, not SF ∉ The Bay Area. Your point agrees with him. The Bay Area includes Oakland, Richmond etc. which are pretty different than SF.

It is probably not accurate to extrapolate the author's experience in SF to what life is like in all of the other parts of the Bay, much less CA as a whole.
Yeah, FFS is today "Asshole Day" or something?

I played Balance of Power. It has no rivals.

Have some goddamned respect people.

And remember that, unless something worse happens, you'll be old too one day.
They would have had to survive long enough, though. Profits in the future don't help you to pay your bills in the present.
Facebook does have tremendous potential upside (as well as significant risks). But it's really hard for me to see any reason their valuation would increased by 30% in the last few weeks.
Yet it's very strong advice.
I use animals from the Simpsons, but I have to admit, santas-little-helper is not fun to type.
It's a little overgeneral. There are ways your software can betray you besides spying on you.

Or maybe the term is meant to include that stuff too, despite the explicit definition.
Lovely. The project looks very interesting.

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~osc22/scd/ "Smart Card Detective"
Nothing as glamorous as you guys. Working as an intern at Gridbots Technologies[1] which is a robotics company. It has helped me expand my knowledge about embedded systems and pushed me to try out new things (like the LPC2148 which is an ARM7 based controller).

After that I will work on a handheld AtMega32 based Interactive Fiction platform on which you can write and play your own interactive fiction stories (a bit old school but there is atleast one user, ME!)
No the OP, but:

I think there would be far more donations if people could donate to OpenSSH rather than donating to OpenBSD. Theo loves to use OpenSSH to guilt-trip people into donating, but there's no guarantee that donations will, in fact, end up supporting OpenSSH at all.
When is a uuid not a uuid? When you can't actually resolve it.
The thing with Vim is that even though you can use it like a regular text editor, it isn't too good at that. But when you grok the Vim philosophy, enter one command, verb + noun, then do your edit and press esc, you'll feel like flying.
where did you find that out? just curious
What digital goods are in this case is imported services, something that is increasing rapidly and not covered in trade policies as clearly as physical goods.

If you employ an overseas statistician or buy software from an overseas supplier, you are basically importing statistics or software. The fact that these are a digital good/service makes little difference from an economic perspective.
Shrug. Now we've moved from "good for the environment" to between better than an average American car (i.e. appalling) and about as good as a hybrid vehicle[0]. Which really isn't all that exiting. Again, you'd be doing something good by driving less; but that's typically not what people do next after buying a sports car.
Are you referring to the Equivalence of Energy and Equivalence of Technology regulations?

If so that is a much more sane than regulating performance on the amount of oxygen the engine can consume. It's also much more relevant to production cars as well.

To me Balance of Performance is a dirty word, but I am ok with having each technology balanced so each car has roughly the same amount of energy available to it.
More like "You'll have to call a technician to replace the machine's motherboard for $1500 dollars because the machine won't start up at all if it can't get a response from the button."

Looking at you, printer/scanner combos that won't print because the scanner is failing.
I'm a fan of huge/multiple monitors too. There could easily be monitors in the "booths," that part's easy. As for desktop-level compute horsepower, hmmmm....
Vigilantism sounds good until you realize you're a rapist.
1. Find my iPhone

From the description of it, I think the button wouldn't work if you don't carry a phone with you, as it depends on it.
I believe it said the default setting is that it will only register a click as an order after the previous one was delivered. I could have misread that, though.
This. It is really starting to piss me off that nearly every article so far fails to mention that he messed with a real user account BEFORE he even tried to report the bug. This matters because this (messing with real users) is why FB isn't paying him. Sure FB handled the poorly written "bug report"... poorly. But he was already not going to get paid before he even sent the bug report.
I love this book! It's a great read for anyone who wants to build networked computer systems. I like how it focuses on network design and implementation in terms of the practical problems it solves, which helped me understand why the world's networking protocols were built the way they were.
I take issue with it, but I haven’t seen any other comment clearly state what I see the issue to be.

The issue is the poster spun up the instance in the course of his job. Microsoft and canonical would be reasonable to share that job related info.

But instead it appears that either they shared his personal info which would be unethical, or canonical takes the de-identified job info and then matches it with personal info.

In most transactions between people acting as representatives of their business, it would be very creepy for one of the businesses to then get personal info on the representative of the other business like their social media accounts or home address, especially if they do it using secret/obfuscated manners rather than explicit asking.
That's the immutable kernelcache shipped by the machine, and isn't only the kernel but also includes the kexts.

You can then rebuild your own kernel cache from /System/Library/Extensions and /System/Library/Kernels. (eventually with a recompiled kernel)
That was my next step, look at the pressure ratings for mm H2O of your fans. Problem with most cases is, they are not a single tunnel like most NAS, but would have multiple openings that might change airflow direction if you add a filter in front of a single intake.

For the NAS I trialed a range of Noctuas, but the stock fans (KM121225LL 2x120mm 2.3mmH2O) proved most reliable with the default Synology control settings. So anything in that 2mm Range should work.
“... unlike journalists they actively manipulate the videos to mislead their audience”

Are there any journalists left? This behavior is rampant in virtually all forms of news.
It's used to send notifications to things like smart watches, or to other computers via apps like KDE Connect (which I think also allows people to interact with the notifications).
You'd be surprised at how technically challenging/appealing financials can be. Ulrich Drepper also left Red Hat to work at Goldman Sachs ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/ulrichdrepper ). The algorithmic challenges, hardware optimization challenges etc in financials are nothing to scoff. Yeah, and the money is good as well. The work is not as 'sexy' as google, nasa, tesla but it is just as appealing to people who are interested in doing work that is supposed to provide high performance and high reliability.
I love finding new things to do with Org-Mode, and this is a great tool to add in my kit. Though it did take a little while to get the exports working on Windows. Thanks for the write up. Plus, bonus intro to Org-Page, which I'll to try out as well.
Stash is far, far cheaper than Github Enterprise, and Stash features have come a long way in the last 18 months.

* 250 user Stash license: $12000 first year, $6000 after [1]

* 250 user GH Enterprise license: $61750 per year [2]

If you need on premise git hosting, I'd look at Stash or Gitlab, long before I thought about looking at Github Enterprise!

Well, this comment is a big improvement over how it was a few years ago when we first started and everyone thought the whole idea was clearly impossible. We went from being impossible to trivial! Progress!
Interesting that Kevin is on that list, Kevin, Bob, and Mark were the three who were some of the first indicted using federal hacking laws [1]. Bob took a plea, Mark plead innocent and eventually they just dropped the case, and Kevin ran away, to be caught later.

FoundationDB was single process. They had no per-node writer concurrency.

The reason why I said sqlite concurrency support is irrelevant is because ActorDB serializes requests anyway. It must do so for safe replication.
Amen. America would be a better country if even richies had to scrub a toilet now and then (or alternatively, if robots also scrubbed poor peoples' toilets for them). We could use a good dose of humility.
> Go's documentation, tutorials, videos, support, community - what forms the ecosystem, basically - is really the reason why I keep coming back to it.

One way to put it is that this highlights Go from a user's perspective.

The very same thing is true from the compiler developer's perspective.

I've found that the process of installing dependencies, pulling source, navigating source, building, testing, contributing patches, etc is important for success--as well as the user experience.

I've had bug-fix patches accepted into Clang, GHC, and Rust. I found Rust to be a bit pricklier than Clang and GHC. I'd like to make time to get a similar experience with Go--I suspect it would be good.
Correct, I've noticed it as well. For example this comment

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1432322

lost me something like 10 karma. There's another one of mine similar.

It was pretty awesome to have my average comment karma go from ~4 to <2 in like 2 weeks due to 2 "-4" comments that the community disagreed with.

sigh
Yeah, be sure to cut-n-paste as much code from random blogs and forums as possible. Don't worry about understanding or thinking... Google is all you need!

It worked for phpBB and Wordpress...
What strikes me on Stallman.org is headlines like "don't use Facebook" or "don't buy Harry Potter books". How do you convince anyone with such agressive, patronizing statements ? This is plain ignorance of the simplest of psychology, rhetorics and marketing rules.
Note that "promoter" in this context is Indian English for something like owner/founder.
for those who haven't read it, the transcript of his "you and your research" talk is worth repeatedly reading.
The biggest problem I've had with this maxim in the past is the definition of "Broke".

It is too subjective.

There is a world of difference between "a bit broke" and "totally broke" even for the simplest of systems.
At 32 I was a pretty successful as an entrepreneur but deeply unfulfilled. I dropped what I was doing to learn how to program. At 34 I'm an ok programmer and couldn't be happier about the decision. It might be hard to convince the people around you that you're still sane, but if you love it people will pick up on that and get on board.

Good luck!
It's handy for the same reason FreeDOS is handy -- eventually Microsoft will EOL the platform, but there will still be programs that you need to run (for whatever reason) that require that platform.

You're right that there's no point in chasing the most recent Windows version.
Yes, I agree and think this is a very smart observation. It doesn't hold for jugs of water, say, if you're allowed to pour water between the jugs.
Interesting. I haven't seen any requests for enhancements to Firefox (or more precisely Gecko) from GitHub, and I watch all incoming Gecko bug reports... Were they asking for these enhancements from Firefox itself, not Gecko, or through some sort of opaque channels or something?

Past that, partnering with people makes sense to me if they're flexible enough to add things when we need them. My point is simply that historically GitHub has not been adding the things we need.
I'm using .is from now on. Sure, it's more expensive, but there are no fucking "domainers" there – even two letter domains are still available. And I have a hard time thinking of something Iceland would shut down (except for child pornography, obviously).
I meant US dollars, but now that I think of it, you can do transactions in any currency using Visa, which is more evidence that they're a payment system rather than a competing currency like "visabucks" or something.

The principle here is that you're not allowed to compete with the US gov't when it comes to providing the currency of the land. There are a lot of good reasons for this, and some mediocre reasons to oppose it, but at the end of the day it's pretty clear that there's a difference between Liberty Dollars and a cashier's check denoted in US dollars.
Strangely enough, Groupon was originally a startup named The Point trying to save democracy: http://www.thepoint.com/ . Andrew Mason, Groupon's CEO, was pretty psyched about a campaign to build a giant dome over the city of Chicago: http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/chicago-winter-dome .
Macro and micro economics are AP tests... thousands of schools across the country teach classes in the topic.
We are working on a nap feature and the data loss issue is fixed!
One of the points missed by the HN knee-jerk crowd:

by Kai-FU funding knock off clones rather than investing in something new that takes VC money away from other potential successful startups in the startup scene in China.
One day we’re going to find out that some inordinate amount of internet comments are paid astroturfing and the regular commenters will be equally upset between getting duped and not getting paid for their comments.
I'm not really arguing whether it's a good or bad idea. It's just that, as far as I know, it's the norm in our society and others so it's odd if someone wants to debate it as a hypothetical that people might turn against.

Look at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for an example of taking more than a sliver.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_takeover_of_Fannie_Mae...

I'm not sure of the difference between a "wealth tax" and a "property tax". Are you saying the sort of property tax homeowners pay in a lot of places would be unconstitutional at a Federal level? Or are you saying it's unconstitutional at any level?
>Resolving the divisions in the American electorate needs to be a tad bit more sophisticated than asserting that 70 million people have lost their minds and aren't worth listening to

Yes. But we need to understand why so many people believe flat-out lies. SO MANY PEOPLE. What do you think is behind that? HOw do so many believe such literal NON-sense?

I say step 1: bring back the fairness doctrine. I'm baffled that Tulsi Gabbard, of all people, has been the only person to re-introduce a bill in favor of it in ~30 years since it was abandoned.
Chrome allows access to calls to violence.. Google fiber allows access to calls to violence..

Do you really want Google to be the morality police of devices and services you pay for? Because that's sad. It's sad how people adopt authoritarian tendencies because they disagree with people they don't understand.
Next step is browsers banning some URL or IP.
Suppose Google releases an update to Chrome that prevents it from loading problematic websites. What really is the difference, in your mind, between removal from the app store and what I described? Or would you also find that scenario acceptable?
synflooding is not mitigated by syncookies.
the attacker can encode information inside the packets in exactly the same way as the server, meaning they don't have to maintain any state, see:

It's half of your question, but a good basic electronic logic simulator is http://www.cburch.com/logisim/

A digital electronics book could be paired with it for exercises. Or heck build your own microcontroller or something.

A similar method is to instead of using a game to simulate circuits in software, use an FPGA to simulate a circuit in hardware. A cool book I've used to here, http://www.amazon.com/FPGA-Prototyping-VHDL-Examples-Spartan...

It will take you step by step from creating simple shift registers to displaying an image over VGA (which you implement yourself).
A really simple thing that banks could add is that in Englan when I login to my banks website and I then have a question, I have to pick up the phone, go through 100s of security questions and then I get to speak to someone and I get to ask my question. For the life of me I don't understand why there is not a live web chat on the page. I have already gone through security, I should be able to ping a question to someone online who then responds instantly. It would save an awful lot of hassle.
Think you probably are - last time I used spoon you still had to be using Windows; it just meant you could run IE6, 7 and 8 at the same time.
I bought this book off of B&N.com while I was in India (well, I'm still here). I can't wait to get home and read it. Although I haven't created anything from the ground-up yet, books and messages like this are empowering.
Yeah, you basically are screwed. You paid $2.99 to have no ads, now you are out $2.99 and will presumably see ads. Bait and switch, basically.
Great presentation. I just bought the book from Amazon.

I hope the slides are in the book because I couldn't download them through Slideshare:

"The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
transparent.gif? Ridiculous. I used so many of them, using the name t.gif made my site load faster. Every edge!
We have selected you for further screening. Something about suspicious posts on the internet.
Please don't use environment variables to store secrets. There are to many angles - as stated by others - where this data may leak into files or processes.

I would propose to use just one folder like /secret and put your config files in there. Exclude this folder from backup on all relevant hosts.

Then spend your time on security of your hosts, applications (OWASP) and monitoring / alerting. Something that you have to do anyway.
I dunno about Whole Foods. I find it pretty easy to "go wrong" every time I shop there. The percentage of food at Whole Foods that is actually "healthy" is probably the same percentage as Safeway.
I can count the mail I have to answer in three months on two hands.

And that is far, far too much. I hate it. Stamps!? Envelopes? Pen and paper?!?! Sheesh...

Yes, yes, abolish snail mail now...

(and I'm not gen Y by any means, snail mail was frickin annoying back it was the only mail)
The amount of effort you have to spend on this varies greatly with the attractiveness of your service to trolls, thieves, hoodlums, and the like. One of my apps has almost total trust for users, because exploiting the app itself gets nothing that someone on 4chan would enjoy. Another of my apps makes phone calls, and I put non-trivial effort into securing that from abuse.

You're in a content business. Bad news: technically inclined people enjoy stealing content. You probably have to plan on them using your service to facilitate theft of content unrelated to you. "Unlimited uploads" sounds like something that will draw this type of pathological user like flies to honey.

With regards to security: standard best practices are pretty adequate for most of us in non-regulated industries. I don't know why you'd let root be able to log in, but that is probably minor.
One big issue is that health advocates spend 99% of their time telling people what not to eat. That doesn't work because, as you say, people aren't going to think, "Now that I know not to eat x, I'll take the initiative to figure out what I should be eating instead."

I think Whole Foods (among others) has realized this and capitalizes on it. It eliminates the guesswork. "Come into the store and get whatever you want. You can't mess up because it's all healthy/sustainable/whatever." (Of course, it's not really all healthy/sustainable/whatever, but it's certainly harder to go wrong at Whole Foods than it is at Safeway.)
True. It would be interesting to see the distribution of negatively voted comments before and after the display limit was implemented. pg?
