I pointed this out because I've seen this over and over again with the single theme of "I was working on some silly project using AWS and I pushed my credentials to github".

I don't think I've ever seen a professional team push AWS credentials (or any other credentials for that matter) - and if they did it's very rare to the point where I don't remember.

As far as mixing credentials with code - that happens all the time. I'm not saying it's right but I have much bigger concerns - such as why people keep silly projects to github with their credentials. The first time I saw an article about it - I found out that there are bad people who are monitoring github for exactly that - and they will use it even before you realize it what you did. And not just AWS credentials mind you - MySQL, SSH, anything they can get their hands on...

I think my comments are getting lost in translation -

I'm not saying I'm against people pushing their silly projects. Push your 1 line GPL code projects all day long - I don't care. That's why github is there. What I find puzzling is not that people want to create new projects - but they feel like they must create a git repo for EVERYTHING they do and push it up to a public github like it's going to change the face of computer science as we know it or something. I've seen people keep documents and even bash profiles as public repos. I'm not saying it isn't a good idea to use git for those purposes - but I wouldn't want my bash profile common knowledge (especially if it contains commands or functions that I use at my day job).
I think it makes you an outlier.
At one startup I was at, the CEO and CFO both needed to sign all checks (his was before wire transfers were so commonplace), That policy started when the founders were self-funding the company. It was their money they were spending.

Prudence gets left behind as companies grow and accept outside money. After a while, a CEO can decide, basically on his own, to drop $16 billion on a company with IIRC TTM revenue of about $30 million. Easy come, easy go.

Transportation is a huge factor in available land that is currently dedicated to parking that could be used for housing. Uber and Lyft could change some land use policies but it is going to take a change in policy overall because I believe that it is largely tied to job growth which is essentially desirability. Seattle is expensive to rent or own in and yet Tacoma and Everett seem very affordable by comparison.
Just curious, but what does she need that bandwidth for? I am expecting the usual replies of running a server, having better upstream capabilities, and the very typical 'techies gonna have bandwidth', but I would love to hear some weird unexpected ways to use bandwidth like that.
The solution to this problem is simply process isolate, handle each request in a own process and crashing one won't affect the others. Of cause you won't get away with OS level processes.

If it interests you look at Erlang's OTP, it solved this problem years ago and works very well with that.

Yes, I used some salesmanship I gleaned from working in a startup and paid 5% premium rent. The landlord isn't worried about subletting. They want the place taken care of and to be assured you can make rent payments regularly and on time and don't trouble them too much. Convince them you're a better option than a family of 5 who also applied for the property and you too can sublet the place. The rent I pay is tax deductible from rent I receive. I chose to have flatmates and pay premium rent (paid for by flatmates) to live free in a renovated apartment close to the city. My office doesn't come with a space I can park a camper van.
The whole food scene is a little dodgy in this regard in my view. Everyone claims to have found the one true god - when I really doubt there is one.

In light of this uncertainty I subscribe to two basic "beliefs":

1) Don't eat dodgy processed stuff (think paleo mindset)

2) Restrict calories

I'm no nutritionist, but I'd venture a guess and say that I'll go far with my 2 point approach.

Vieux – Interesting framework architecture
I wonder how much extra money is spent by the U.S. tax-payers funding two agencies that have diametrically opposed missions (the FTC and the NSA)?
I honestly have no idea. I have a 50/50 fiber connection now and even with multiple people watching HD video streams, torrents and other files I don't believe I come close to saturating it.

FiOS keeps upgrading it every year or so (it started as a 15/5 I couldn't saturate), so that's nice. At least I'm basically in "first world" territory even if I live in the U.S.

I suppose when 4k video becomes more common I'll feel it, but I don't even have anything that can display 4k right now and Verizon will probably just upgrade it to 75/75 or 100/100 by that point.

One nice benefit, I have a plex server I can access remotely and it works well outside of my network. But I'd live with just my netflix account if I had to "rough it".

I'd go even further, that if you learn how to do it with lots of different tools in different combinations, then you get a feel for what is important and what is not, what is fashion and what is important, and what software applications are, in general. Most of all, you can begin to make the critical distinction between "application" and "infrastructure".

It's not simply just a status symbol, it's saying you appreciate the finer things in life and that you are someone interesting. In the world of business, having these accessories and toys can be very beneficial to your career and networking. Unfortunately, that's just show society works these days and has been working for the past few centuries. Being able to wear a Audemars Piguet into a restaurant and having the gentleman across the room come by and compliment your watch can open many doors. But that's not say that's why most people wear these high-end watches. I don't think it clicks for most people until you actually wear one of these things on your wrists. And you're simply a watch enthusiast or you aren't one--many would argue to say its in their blood. The way I see it, watches are an important investment and something that every man (and woman) should have in their arsenal.

It's a common problem, happens all the time, and the AWS keys are in a known format.

GitHub should take some responsibility for preventing publishing of AWS keys.

* if you open huge files with wide lines, check "Show soft wraps for current line only" to prevent slowness

Hiding malware in cracks or pirated content was usual on the warez forums 'round here.

US warez forums always seemed civil, cyberlocker links stayed up for years, malware was not common - German boards like boerse.bz (R.I.P.) and others had to invent "link crypters", websites hiding links to Rapidshare, Mega and other cyberlockers because the users from the boards would abuse-report each others' links. Or they'd invade other boards and post malware-loaded cracks.

>I believe his point is that you aren't their target customer.

I hear you & understand your argument. They are offering AWS free tier to me for zero USD though, so I don't think my offer of a paid account capped to 200 USD is unreasonable. It is telling though that they won't give free AWS accounts without CC details...

I'm not trying to screw amazon here...I just want a little bit of VM time that I can use to toy around with from a reputable source without signing over the rights to my first-born.

Maybe I expect to much...dunno.
Also processed stuff usually doesn't taste as good. The enjoyment you derive from eating contributes to your physical health.
Yeah, they're slowly reinventing microkernel concepts in a pretty heavy-weight way. However, don't discount the recent efforts in containerization. They might not be learning the main lesson but they're certainly copying (and benefiting from) pieces of it. Maybe they'll get there one day. ;)
I am curious to know why you think this?
I'm not sure about that explanation. Clocks were very common on cell phones long before the iPhone came along.

The iPhone greatly changed the type of cell phone people carried, but I don't think it changed the number of people who carried cell phones, so would it really have had much influence on whether or not people used a watch?
I think more than a C backend, LLVM needs "C as an IR". Which LLVM can internally use to "trivially" add support for embedded-type platforms that only have a C compiler.

That is what most people want it for anyways.

I'm curious what the monthly cost is for the line (not considering the upfront cost).
I think there are a lot of those stories? I know I can't call myself a Programmer yet? I can call myself a website builder though. I can spot errors in other people's Javascript, but I still would never call myself a Programmer.
And even though I can put up websites, I not that proud of it? 95% of the learning process was just following directions?

I have noticed there's a lot of successful people out there whom hang titles behind their names whom aren't very good at what they do, whether it's Programming, Business, or Whatever Expertise claimed?

I sometimes think the key to success is over inflating one's ability, and faking it? I personally know so many extremely wealthy Fakers. Programming is one field I couldn't imagine faking it? I guess my point is I know too many people who literally lied about their abilities, and in the end--Won big time!

I sometimes feel the way I was brought up(every Sunday going to church, and feeling very confused) was detrimental to my wallet?? Plus, as a kid, unless we really/really were great at something; we kept our accomplishments/skills to ourselfs. We never got the chance to brag. If we did(brag), someone would literally, usually verbally, smack us, and we never acted overconfident again? I honestly feel being modest, and not chasing the Dollar--held my generation(born 60's-70's) back? (What I saying, I still can't stomach people who over-inflate their abilities, nor go after money too aggressively--especially money from the poor/middle class! The thought of my filthy Looker sister is enough to get me to stop this post. She did some damage to her family over the almighty Dollar--really weaselly stuff. She's rich though?)

I like my current job, a LOT, but it isn't a development shop and they don't want to use F# because they are trying to limit the languages they support right now (Too many legacy apps). Which I understand, but at the same time I think we are really missing out.

Especially because they are developing the front end to be a very Functional Typescrip SPA. Anyway I've been learning F# in my spare time just for the heck of it.

>>Also processed stuff usually doesn't taste as good.

This isn't true. The entire reason there's more salt and sugar in processed foods is to make them taste good. Compare a Snickers bar with broccoli.

MS simply doesn't invest in F# tooling like they do for C#. One reason is probably the user base, but that's a bit of a catch-22. The other likely reason is politics/saving face.
>Do you have any evidence to support that 'processed' food is worse than the alternative?

I don't. Thats why I labelled it "beliefs". If I've got a choice between 1) Carrot 2) Carrot flavoured goo then I'm not going to look for a peer reviewed journal supporting the view that the carrot is better.

I've simply drawn a line in the sand and decided that give uncertainty I'll place my faith in the carrot rather than whatever a profit seeking enterprise engineered for me. We all make decisions in the face of uncertainty & this is one of those judgement calls.

I genuinely believe science can do better than nature can (i.e. engineered functional foods)...but right now looking at the supermarket...its not there for me to buy so I will continue buying nature.

The paleo diet borrows many concepts from Weston Price, who did some serious research in contrast with the mostly faddish nature of the former.

He had many more good insights. I think a major point is some fat soluble nutrients are essential. That's why eating bone broth or organ meat is so important.

I think an optimal diet is probably mostly plant based, with high quality animal fats and no oils for cooking.

And eventually you may want to check out Max/MSP for a more "programmy" composition environment (graphical programming but it supports Java and JavaScript coding as well).
In fairness, Java doesn't need to be as verbose as the "Java-style code" from the talk, especially now that Java 8 (with lambdas) is out. Here's how I would write the code in Java:

runWithNetworkElement("171.0.2.45", networkElement -> {
for (Route route : networkElement.routingTable()) {
System.out.printf("%15s -> %s%n", route.name(), route.ipaddr());
}

I am a professor at a university. Unbelievably, all the classes offered by our math department (with roughly 100 different teachers) are scheduled by hand.

This takes a tremendous effort, and then when one class gets cancelled and one professor has to be reassigned to a different class, but she can only teach on Tuesday/Thursdays, it sets off a giant stack of dominoes...

Seriously, the amount and sheer drudgery of thankless admin work in my department makes me want to cultivate a reputation for disorganization and irresponsibility.
Oxygen is not flammable (neither is fluorine... every other element is, in the sense that it forms stable compounds in exothermic reactions with oxygen.)

Oxygen is, however, fairly toxic (2 atmospheres partial pressure starts to get pretty dangerous after relatively short times.)
I don't think I agree. It would instill good will if git could detect what appeared to be a private key in your code when doing a `git push` and warned you "This file appears to contain a private key, are you sure you want to push this commit? (y/n)" but the responsibility of maintaining security of their keys ultimately lies with the user using those keys.

Otherwise you're putting github in a scenario for fault that doesn't originate with them and that's rather unfair IMO.
FYI: these tools install with GitExtensions for windows, and that includes a bash shell.

I use it with ConEmu, and it goes a long way towards usability. I also use Clover as a file explorer wrapper/replacement. I usually have a couple browsers, editors/ide, clover and conemu open at all times.. tabbed interfaces are beyond useful.

As is having a bash shell (although some things aren't quite the same).
Well-prepared broccoli certainly tastes better than a Snickers bar.
