An iPhone would have to be connected to the network through WiFi. If you're doing penetration testing in the enterprise space, it's unlikely that you're able to connect to their core network through WiFi. I do network consulting for a medium-large business ($300 mil market cap) that I consider to be pretty typical from a network security standpoint. They focus on securing their edge-facing access points, and thus they don't allow any access to their core networks through WiFi. It's all VLAN'd off in a DMZ. An iPhone would only be useful if you could penetrate their firewall at the DMZ... but then you might as well just attack from an internet facing point.

This device is a lot more dangerous, as it connects to an Ethernet port. Unsecured Ethernet ports are a lot easier to come by in most businesses. I've only ever worked with one company that secured their Ethernet network at such a low level (802.1X), and they were a very, very large multi-national corporation with a big manufacturing segment. They had to secure at the Ethernet layer as a matter of certification for the products they manufacture. Very few companies go through the trouble of implementing security at the Ethernet layer because of the expense and trouble involved.
I have a hard time believing a network engineer would know so little about front-line support that they would continue on this track for so long. If I was his supervisor, his evaluation would say "perseverates".
Corporations have nothing to do with morals. It is business, not personal.

The film's assessment is effected via the diagnostic criteria in the DSM-IV; Robert Hare, a University of British Columbia psychology professor and a consultant to the FBI, compares the profile of the contemporary profitable business corporation to that of a clinically-diagnosed psychopath. The documentary concentrates mostly upon North American corporations, especially those of the United States.

I was actually talking about the colors to the side of the font-- the blues, oranges, and reds that shaded the outside of the black. It turns out that most type in my mac shows up like this, though it doesn't show up like that in inkscape where I've been doing my mockups.

Thanks all.
The point is that putting a Node.js server behind a reverse proxy that uses threads (or processes) for concurrency is silly, since it quickly becomes the bottleneck, negating any benefits Node's asynchronous event-driven architecture provides.

If you want to do what you're suggesting you should use an equally performant web server like nginx, which is also asynchronous/event-driven.

Many museums in the US (at least in the midwest) have "free days". In my town, for example, the art museum is free on Tuesday and during certain weeks of the year (when we have art festivals, for instance).
Sorry if this is a stupid question but, does this mean that Google accounts will no longer be OpenID accounts?
Having lived in London for many years, although now moved to Austria, I feel privileged to have enjoyed free and very cost effective "high culture" for many years. So much so, that I simply forgot this wasn't the case in many other locations.

All London's major museums and galleries offer free entry.[1][2] The BBC Proms, a classical music festival in the Royal Albert Hall spanning almost three months each year between July and September, offer £5 tickets to every concert, if you're willing to promenade (stand).[3] Even tickets for reasonable seats can be obtained for less than £20, although popular concerts do book out well in advance.

The article author's assertion that high prices in "creative-class capitals" are driven by "deep-pocketed local elites and high-spending tourists," is clearly not true everywhere.

Marco's article seems a little hyperbolic since as I recall Leopard for instance was hugely unstable on release.

Conventional wisdom with OS X has always been to wait a few point releases before jumping in. With Microsoft it was to wait until at least SP1.

I don't think things have changed that drastically.

* SMB support still sucks.

* OS X Server is still a monumental turd and I wouldn't be surprised if Apple kills it a release or two down the line.

* Yanking Spaces in Mountain Lion and going to Mission Control followed by Yosemite finally getting (flaky) multi-monitor support is classic Apple focusing on the consumer before the pros.

* Active Directory in Yosemite is a bit buggy but anyone who's used Leopard will remember that the gold master wouldn't even allow AD logons if your domain was .local - I mean did anyone at Apple even test something as basic as that!?

It goes on, but I honestly don't think Apple have changed for the worse. They're not any better in my personal opinion either.

The biggest problem we face with Apple at my company and it could certainly create the impression of increasing bugginess, is that Apple's release cycle is much shorter now.

No more 18 month releases with $100 upgrade fees.

Every developer in our shop can click 'Upgrade' on their machine and fuck their whole environment up.

It used to be much harder for them to do that in the past which goes back to my original point. Don't upgrade a production machine until you're at least a few point releases in! (that goes for your iOS devices too...)
Sometimes though, information denial is more of a pain in the ass than a gain.

For all the intelligence directed at Nazi Germany during WWII, the outcome of the war was decided by a few Russian snowflakes, really.
> However, I think in the long run it's better to have very explicit code.

You should love (parts of) Haskell then. You even need to specify whether your code can have any side-effects there.

(Haskell's Type-classes are awfully implicit, on the other hand. Though not nearly as bad as overloading in C++. You do not need to abuse bit-shifting for sending stuff to streams in Haskell. If you want/need to, you can just make up your own new line-noise operator. That new operator won't be used anywhere else, and is thus perfectly grep-able.)
Yup, I think this is the main reason why they implemented it.

To elaborate a little further on this point from a guy's perspective (this might sound controversial)..

1. You risk scaring off attractive girls if they are bombarded by mail from a wider range of less attractive guys

2. The less attractive girls will get less attention as the guys will try their chances with the hotter girls

3. And all the girls would have a worse experience, ugly or hot, which might result in them leaving.

Although the article is not completely accurate ("Those in the dreaded bottom 50% presumably do not have access to potential matches in the top 50%" -- not true from what was in the email), it does bring up valid points. How much should physical attractiveness play a role in relationships? Is it smart to isolate a part of your user base with such an email?

And who is Okcupid to make judgement calls on who I may find attractive?
NB. Not actually backed up by any data, just happens to be Peter Thiel's own personal opinion.
didn't notice "thinking about" menu. sorry, my bad!
I think everyone overestimates their ability to influence the outcome. 85% of venture backed startups are no longer operating in 3 years. Startups are fragile critters, and those 85% presumably were larger high-aptitude and hardworking folk who all THOUGHT they'd at least make it the the "walking dead" group (which presumably makes up most of the remaining 15%).

A lottery is probably a bad analogy. It's probably more like a couple of hands of blackjack.

I think your first point is the winner. See Bezos' Regret Minimization Framework: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwG_qR6XmDQ
yes it does have workspaces, 9 of them that aren't just moving around windows but windows's own Virtual Desktop, but no the state isn't stored through reboots, though that is one of the goals.
Technically yes, but the main tricks for phishing OTP codes from phones now don't work with those apps, the current ones involve getting people to install an app and getting them to give the app SMS permissions, which there isn't a permission for getting data from ubikey apps unless they go through the phone's storage which is a problem encryption and fingerprint scanners can fix. And calling someone and telling them you accidentally put their number into a site an are trying to recover their account so could you please read me the number you get texted, which doesn't work for UBIKey since you know exactly what that code is for and they can't have been the previous owner of your phone number or accidentally sign you up to that.

There's plenty of others obviously, phishing is an infinite sea of crazy ideas, but that's a few huge ones gone.
It seemed pretty clear that the GP was saying if the platform already shows points/likes, hiding them only from yourself is a disadvantage.

With that said, I believe it can function similar to all those no-procrastination tools; allowing those that want to stop the feedback loop of likes to ween themselves off of it. More of a personal growth tool than a societal solution.
It goes back to they first time they publicised a Microsoft exploit after the 90 disclosure window, but before Microsoft had patched it. Microsoft went into full media blitz mode about how terrible P0 was, how insecure they were making everyone etc.

I basically stopped reading Peter Bright's articles on ArsTechnica because of how he spent a couple weeks writing uninformed articles about how responsible disclosure in general and P0 specifically were terrible.
I mean thats not doing much... You can docker run anything in a line. A few lines of terraform or any other deployment tool can run a binary on EC2 (and roll forward, and have state management, and so on). The complexity comes when you want to do something more interesting.
You can be right wing, or conservative, while still not supporting the current Republican party. And if you look hard enough you might find any permutation of beliefs and support for various things in one person.

A fairly prominent LGBT person, Latrice Royale, at one point did not support gay marriage. That doesn't mean that I agree with that position, nor does that mean the majority of gay people do or should.
Unlike GM, Tesla and Apple, Facebook is not making money by operating in the Chinese market. Facebook is making money from Chinese advertisers via resellers. It's Chinese capital being exported to Facebook outside of the country, for a service operating entirely outside of China.

Equivalent to an advertiser in China going through a local ad broker that works with the NY Times, to place an ad in the NY Times in a paper sold in NYC.
SpaceX is almost certainly using an ILS-type radio system for the final 100 meters, both on the boat and on land. GPS just isn't quite good enough, especially out on the ocean where there are no WAAS base stations to cover up GPS' flaws.
It’s unfortunate that Cloud Print will be shutting down. It was a convenient and useful utility. It couldn’t have cost that much to run.

Perhaps the shutdown has something to do with the product possibly being based on Google Talk? The port requirements for the print server include: “5222 TCP (XMPP, using STARTTLS), with a persistent connection to: talk.google.com.” [1]

Most likely attack on open port, then they sent automated some social engereening stuff, and while looking at it later they've found some fish to fry.

For me it simply displayed "the next year of service is on us" once a year, every year. Paying for WhatsApp was something of an urban legend.
That’s an interesting question, and the 23rd amendment does throw a wrench in the works. There would probably still be a small number of residents, but it’s harder to justify three electoral votes.
I'm afraid that's not correct. You can use arbitrary number of spaces to indent a block in YAML[1]. It does't matter if it's 2 of 4 or 17.

The only limitations are that it must be greater than the indentation of the parent node (obviously), that all siblings must have the same indentation and that tabs are not allowed.

Are you sure you're not mistaking this with HAML? It's a bit stricter with the indentation requirements.

> but isn't it giving up too much to disallow null characters in the middle of a string?

You can have null characters in the middle of strings:

var s = "foo"
s[1] = '\0'
echo len(s)
echo s[2]

Nim will always append a null character to a string for when it gets passed to a C function, but Nim's string functions work just fine with the string proper containing null characters also.
great :) add more stuff, I cant teach my daughter things can live on coffee and cookies... just kidding of course we can :)
It’s the first three items in OPs list that separate the truck from the crossover. It would not be feasible to carry a volume of garden soil, lumber, or furniture in your
Panda.
I believe the Fiat Panda is pretty roomy if you put the seats down. I think sometimes it helps to have a truck if you're transporting more rough and dirty stuff. You'll not just mess up your seats in the Panda, but also potentially the exterior and door seals/trims etc.
Which makes perfect sense, pickup trucks do benefit from a reduced radar signature greater than lighter weight body panels that are equally strong...
In urban areas, yes. In rural areas- in Greece they're like a stereotype, farmers with pickup trucks. I know at least one person who has a pimped-up one with rollbars (bullbars?) and big lights and so on.
Just get a quad cab truck its the best of both worlds.

Thank you, kadavy, we are listening. Over the last six months or so we've been trying very hard to improve the overall quality of the articles published on Smashing Magazine. One of the improvements we introduced is the so-called 'Smashing Magazine Experts Panel' where our articles are reviewed by experts (who are invited and paid for their reviews) before these articles get published online. There are also other things we do to ensure the good quality of the articles. We want to be a professional, reliable online publication for designers and web-developers.

Your feedback indicates that we are on the right way — thanks, we truly appreciate your time.
As with the website, that paper discusses only the speed of BCrypt. There is no cryptanalysis at all, and no indication that BCrypt was submitted anywhere for peer review of its cryptographic soundness.

This doesn't mean BCrypt is unsound. It does mean that I would want to see such analysis before using it.
Thanks, now that has a lot more sense
SHA512 is very, very fast compared to Bcrypt. It's only slightly slower than SHA1 or SHA256.

SF is the place to be because of the glorification of the young engineer. If you're hiring people around 25 y.o., SF is the place to be to win the talent war. But engineers with kids can't live there. If you're hiring engineers around 35 y.o., SF is the wrong place to be.

We're still in the facebook era with regards to how most founders think about hiring talent. So SF it is.

Many of the other places you mention are much more family friendly, and still pretty cool for young people.
> The Dutch 'r' phoneme sounds similar to the AE one.

The Dutch realization of /r/ differs from dialect to dialect within the Netherlands and Flanders, and only a small minority of Dutch speakers have something like the American version. It is true that Dutch speakers often have good accents, but this is due to massive exposure to American culture, not the rhotics of Dutch themselves.
Here's a thought: maybe it's time to close HN. That's right, close it down. PG said all along HN was a production experiment for Arc, so maybe it's time to evaluate the hypothesis and conclude the experiment.

All this hand-wringing about 'the community' and signal/noise indicates the membership has outmanoeuvred any means of wrangling it into some pre-conceived notion of 'quality'. For better or for worse, the thundering hoards of the internet have arrived and are drowning out the elitist clique. If that is bad for everybody, then it's time to shut up shop.
despite what the article shows, YAML is NOT a programming language - constructs such as `if`, `when` and others are not generic. Try to feed an ansible playbook to Travis, or get those jinja-like variable substitutions working with a YAML parser that doesn't process them, and things won't work as expected.
It's discussed later. It talks about the fact that both sides need to have the same tree, and ways to accomplish that.
> large userbase have large operating costs

You can scale a single sqlite db to millions of users without too much trouble. The "large operating costs" meme primarily arose due to the atrociously large costs big cloud providers will make you pay for moderate traffic. It's not helped by the cargo cult of scalability, which strongly pushes you to use something shardable when in all but the most extraordinary cases the dumbest solution will keep working long beyond what's expected.
Clearly, animators need to lobby for additional licensure, safety and educational requirements, and restrictive trade organizations to thin the herd of “acceptable” laborers.

Closed captions aren't universally available, and live captions are often pretty awful (captions for recorded content are often fairly awful).

I recall seeing interpretters on TV during special broadcasts a lot, but then they were mostly replaced by open captions or (presumably) closed captions as captioning became generally available. I'd guess there's a bigger pool of skilled captioners than skilled interpretters, but it's also a lot easier to find someone on staff who can type fast to caption in a pinch.

All that said, I do see some very special events with interpretters still, and I apprechiate that, even though I don't sign.
Yup. 100%. If you are pro alcohol but anti weed you are either willfully ignorant or a hypocrite. I've partaken in both heavily in the past and now partake in neither but if I was going to casually pick one up again for social reasons weed would have a far lessor impact negatively on my life.
You forgot the ? in the title, and made it click bait
I personally don't use Chrome or a Chromium based browser and I have zero problems logging into other non-Google services using my Google account. The fact that my browser of choice doesn't "know" about it (natively) and doesn't display this in its own UI is of no consequence (except the positive ones of why the eff would my browser even _need_ to?)
Yup. As it stands, the license only allows that one site to distribute Digital Research code. That was almost certainly a mistake when drafting the license... but finding out who the current license holder is, and then locating someone willing to change it, is likely to be almost impossible.
It's perfectly fine to be OK with your government hacking other countries while also being mad when those other countries do the same thing (though it's foolish to be shocked when it happens).
Turn on Google Translate, they're comprehensible.
> Haven't yet written any Rust code, but aren't those two things contradicting each other?

I don't think so.

One way to ensure that data isn't mutated by different parts of a program,
is to have immutable data structures.

The other way - the Rust way - is to seriously track who holds mutable
references to the same data and just not allow it.

So you can have more optimized mutable data structures, but can be sure,
that if you're holding a mutable reference, that no other can modify
the data during the lifetime/scope of your mutable reference.
Our wages have kept up, but we're in a _very_ privileged position. We happen to have the right skills at the right time. We're not more industrious or more virtuous than the typical struggling middle-class wage earner. We're just luckier, and we shouldn't forget that.

Let's also not forget that there are benefits to living in a just and equitable society that aren't reflected in paychecks and equity grants, and that the marginal utility of each additional dollar is less than that of the previous dollar.
Speaking of the OS not as the desktop, but what traditionally an OS means: device support, memory and process management, application environment, file system and networking.

As a developer, I find OS X to be immature, undocumented, arcane and volatile. Online Core documentation is very sketchy, often no more than a listing of argument types. Googling for help results in only questions, rarely answers. Versions add new APIs as quickly as they obsolete the old standard ones, leaving everybody hopping to update, often several times per year.

But someone noticed that every project she was on succeeded, over many projects and many years. Though she wasn't a monster at the keyboard, something she brought to the team engendered success.

Correlation does not equal causation. Another possible explanation: She was a monster at predicting project success and worked her way onto projects that were going to succeed with or without her.
been there, done that. so sad.
I see quite a few comments addressing the fact that there's no way to directly measure 'productivity' of a programmer. And there's also the questioning of whether the 10x figure is made up or not (Its not. There's research that attempts to measure productivity, but its always by some proxy measure, usually time to complete a task. There was a post not too long ago that collected various articles on the origin on the 10x number).

So far I haven't seen anyone point out that there are lots of abstract concepts that we measure and rank without having a specific measurable quantity. Art is the first thing that comes to mind. What makes someone a 'good' artist? Even in things people might normally consider numbers based like college football rankings aren't purely objective.

The to deciding some ranking and relative comparisons is to ask people familiar with the subject to compare to instances of the set. In this particular case I could see having the team rank each other member or assign some numeric score representing their opinion. Giving this and some brief written reasoning for the scoring it seems like management would be able to get a clear picture of who the most 'productive' programmers are. There'd be obvious chances for pitfalls and politics in such a system, but if it were applied with some sanity it seems like it could work.
