I love the idea of doing a distributed social network via a mobile app. Being a native app, it could be kind of seamless as well, for the user.
I manage just fine without that isolation. However I'm the opposite end of the spectrum: I have a laptop and work from wherever I happen to be. It works just fine.

I don't find concentration is at all hard to come by, however switching off can be difficult.

> The email was [redacted].

Please clarify. The article does mention an email address. Twice.
It seems to me that Microsoft needs to get better writers for their EULAs since they can be interpreted so freely. For example, I've had a discussion with someone that believed their EULA language meant that if you used Gmail for your email that Microsoft has access to that information. To me, that wasn't the case since Microsoft's language specified that if you used OneDrive and other Microsoft services they were indexing such information. But if you're using Gmail or a third-party client/service then that information isn't under the EULA. But the other person still construed that Microsoft was spying on their emails which seemed odd to me since Google already uses your emails through Gmail to market to you so why complain now?

Either way, I hope the discussion forces Microsoft to make some clarifications on what is being documented and what isn't.
I am sure RMS is with me on this one.

The consumer that wants ad-blocking already downloads an ad-blocker and gets exactly what they want. Making ad-blocking the default option for a mainstream browser means that people who don't dislike ads sufficiently to find a plugin that blocks them no longer subsidise the web for those that do.

It's your problem when you start encountering paywalls where previously only [blocked] ads existed.

Feds flag 60 Clinton emails for classified data: report
This is the treadmill I have been using for 2.5 months. No complaints and it's totally worth the price. Although there seem to be suggestions for getting one at lower cost.

The console does suck. Membrane keys, unresponsive, and obtuse. Good thing I don't interact with it much.

No issues other than the shipping from Amazon resulting in a damaged treadmill which they replaced. The packaging is completely inadequate for shipping. I would buy local and inspect the box for signs of trauma. Once it's delivered don't let them leave it until you have opened the box, removed the treadmill, and looked for any broken plastic.

When I looked into book scanning a few years ago, the Kirtas (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) was as far as I could tell from Net sources, and remains, the reference method of fast, high-volume, non-destructive, high-quality scanning. Even so, many libraries with Kirtas units still employ someone to stand watch over the page turning and ensure only one page at a time is flipped. Perfect page turning is apparently not a completely solved problem yet.

If procuring (and paying nearly $10K USD per year in maintenance fees) through a hacker collective or maker space is infeasible in your area, then the community at www.diybookscanner.org have a workable solution for a much smaller subset of what the Kirtas units address, so you could look into that as a modest workaround for the time being (though I wonder what results they got for dewarping by simply taking pictures on all the sides of the scanning target to synthetically construct a 3D volume, as perfect dewarping continues to be an open and unsolved problem).
> maximize profits at amazon

Funny thing is, Amazon has never really been into maximizing profits, at least in comparison to re-investing the company in new experimental directions. An investment in their own employee's well being seems to be something in line with that. But, I'm not a CEO.

No, I don't think self hosting is the solution. I still remember the times when every label had its own little online shop for mp3s. Those were dark times: not only did you have to register at every shop separately, most of those shops where just plain unusable: no pre-listening, broken id3 tags, downloading each song from an album separately, charging extra for higher quality, no accompanying artwork, etc.
As I've already written: I think Bandcamp does it very well, and IMHO it is currently the best shop for indie musicians to sell their music online.

You do have to learn how to drum in the first place, and it's not something that's unachievable. So I'd argue it's because you drum.

When I learned how to play in the first place, particularly with jazzy bands and all that, it honestly felt like the mental rigors of studying, since I was trying to incorporate rhythms, as well as breaking them, all while giving a steady heartbeat to the band playing with me. Learning different techniques, handling, sticking, getting to the point where hitting the drum head at the precise location for the precise sound needed was a lot of multitasking to keep in mind, while holding steady notes on a snare or a hi-hat.

And the point was to practice all of this until it became second nature, and you didn't have to keep any of it in mind as you played.

So it'd be more fair to say that drumming kinda rewrites the way you think and redirects certain aspects of your mental faculties.
Hmm. If you alter the search to "filename:wp-config.php FTP_PASS" you start getting some that look like ... legit. For those who don't know, WordPress has some level of access to hosting server via FTP, for upgrades and plugin installs.

Pertinent config globals are FTP_BASE, FTP_CONTENT_DIR, FTP_PLUGIN_DIR, FTP_PUBKEY, FTP_PRIKEY, and of course, FTP_USER, FTP_PASS, FTP_HOST.
And how many of those MySQL passwords are also used by the WordPress admin account?

Even if it's just 0.1%, that would be still 150'000 valid passwords.

My experience with women at Amazon is this: my ex-girlfriend had an internship with Amazon in the summer of 2013. While there her manager friended her on Facebook then sent her some messages suggesting that if she slept with him he would make sure she got a full time offer and explicitly describing his fantasies about her.

She ended sleeping with him and true to his word he got her the full time position. About a month later I found out about the whole thing and broke up with her.

I emailed the transcripts of their conversations to HR. They conducted an investigation and he admitted to everything. The guy got to keep his job. They did some sort of formal counseling with him and then transferred him to another group. They made the girl to sign a statement saying that nothing improper happened. They strongly suggested that her full time offer might be rescinded is she didn't sign the statement.

She signed and has been working there the past more than a year now.

Besides, if you face a difficulty with your work environment, don't talk to HR™. They are paid to exclude any PR hazard from the company.

You're essentially doing LP if you have enough high quality comments. It doesn't really matter what tool you use for this.
Stop and think for a moment about all of the "cloud" services you use and rely on daily. Then think about what you'd do if suddenly some algorithm told the company running that service to cancel your account and bar you from access, without a way for you to appeal. For some services, you're really hosed. I've definitely been re-evaluating my decision to rely so heavily and exclusively on faceless companies for important things as E-mail and web hosting.
Keep clicking, because I found what appear to be two valid passwords in 5 different config files (with public hosts.)
Obviously I didnt test them, so you might be right that they change or are in dev mode, but that smells like a lot more than 6 9s.
How can you tell that? Just because it specifies "localhost" doesn't necessarily mean it's a dev box.
My knee-jerk reaction when I found out about the engine was to be upset, but when I thought about it, it's not really any different than all the groups do at this level...it's just that the engine is well known.

I'm more interested in the scene's artistic growth these days anyways...art in real-time, hyper constraints, etc.
Which is why I don't use any database password if the database is listening on localhost only, which is the case most of the time.

I worked at a company that was a Smalltalk shop right through the middle of the 0's. I personally loved Smalltalk for it's simplicity and productivity and miss it to this day.
Our company finally let go of it because:
1) We needed to develop web applications and at the time there was no credible web app framework.
2) Licensing was expensive and complicated. We were using Parcplace/ObjectShare and had to deploy on Mac, Windows and different flavors of Unix. Most of our work was for internal consumption but we would also license our work to other companies and they had to call the ParcPlace sales people to negotiate licenses on the runtimes. Everyone hated the hassle and the expense.
3) While developing in Smalltalk was a dream, building and deploying was always a big pain.
4) Java showed up. Sun pushed it hard and aligned it with the development of the web. It was multiplatform, you could do servlets and (cr)applets with it. And it was free!

In my personal opinion, the Java language, base libraries, and development experience were inferior to Smalltalk in just about every way in the 0's (ok, I welcomed static typing, but why did it take more than a decade to get lambdas?). Even Java performance was worse than Smalltalk for a while (the first Java releases were interpreted).
But Smalltalk was a fragmented ecosystem that did not adapt to the web and to a well-funded, well-marketed, free competitor (Java) that offered some of the same benefits.
Smalltalk was always a niche technology. It is still alive, but the niches are smaller.

How exactly is any browser supposed to autofill passwords without storing them in plaintext? If you want them encrypted, you need to put in a password on every startup, which can be easily done by using truecrypt containers or fde.
> But here comes Rust, it takes away the unsafety

There are no memory leaks at the language level in Rust but lots of other unsafety exists in web apps at a higher level: SQL injections, XSS, etc.

Separate as much as you can. A commenter suggested dual booting. Putting your work environment in a virtual machine might be another option.

On my laptop, I keep separate browser instances for work and play:

google-chrome --user-data-dir=/home/workuser/.config/google-chrome-workuser

google-chrome --user-data-dir=/home/playuser/.config/google-chrome-playuser

Some people are able to switch contexts easily. If you're one of these people, advice given here may not apply to you. If you do find yourself having trouble keeping yourself focused at work, try doing things to keep your environments separated. It doesn't have to mean physically lugging your tower PC to a different room (but don't rule it out). Try creating different user logins, or at least different backgrounds and color schemes.
Technically, Amazon might not be into maximizing profit via cash flow. But Bezos certainly has an interest in maximizing share price, via undercutting competitors and offering the cheapest prices and maximizing market share, thereby leading to a possibility of increasing profits via sales. Any which way, squeezing every cent out of the employees will work towards accomplishing these goals. So while they may not have a ton of profit in the traditional sense, it's still all the same interests reaping the gains they always have.

This thing relies heavily on javascript, flash and silverlight. Both flash and silverlight require javascript. So unless I missed something, without scripts the only thing device fingerprinting can harvest is pretty much the user agent, which is pretty much useless for fingerprinting.

The high-end POWER 7/8 hardware has incredible single core performance, beating the pants off Xeon. It uses huge amounts of power to do that, so it's not appropriate for all roles. Low end POWER is pretty niche. Freescale uses the architecture for telecoms applications.

In general Linux upstream these days "just works" on ppc64 & ppc64le. There's RHEL for POWER already, and IBM have loaned hardware to the CentOS project so we'll get CentOS on POWER pretty soon.

The licensing of (Open-)POWER is more open than x86 (but not as open as stuff like RISC-V), and there are several second sources for chips, in situations where that matters.
Implementing other protocol handlers into existing web browsers and operating systems would be a good start IMO.

Taking ipfs/ipns [1] as an example, having handlers inside web browsers would allow people to link from http[s]:// to ipfs:// and vice versa in a seamless way, lowering the barrier to migrate.

From there on, there's nothing preventing you from distributing your application code (html/css/javascript/whathaveyou) over ipfs, and make use of WebRTC for user-to-user interactions.

Obviously http[s] is going to stick around for a while as it has its use cases (basically anything that deals with a centralized service, from online banking to search engines to apis), but having a secondary, peer to peer means of distributing content and applications would be a major plus.

[1] http://ipfs.io (they have a working implementation in Go with an HTTP gateway as well as a FUSE filesystem)
Because then you'd just have Requests and normal Python which it sounds like the author wanted to avoid.
Hey guys, I'm a creator of termitile. Many of you have pointed out that there are lots of window managers for OS X and my intention wasn't to create just another one. What I really needed was a bunch of script that I could alias and use directly from the terminal without cluttering my global keyboard shortcuts. I couldn't find any other programs that had a terminal API, so I've just hacked this one :)

So just to be clear, it's not intended to be a replacement for Amethyst, Divvy, or any other universal manager, but just a quick solutions just for the terminal, because you can control it with regular commands!

I hope you like it!
Hah. That's taking things too far.
> You absolutely need to set yourself up for success. I have a home office in the basement, and it is _the_ office, not another room.

>> This is the most important piece of advice. You need to have a space that is for work and for work only. When you enter that space, it puts you in a work mindset.

I will parrot this a 2nd time.

When I was at University, I worked for a very small company that allowed me to set whatever hours I wanted as long as the work was completed. There were stretches where I didn't show my face in the office for 3 weeks at a time, because the building's physical location was a 45 minutes one-way drive. I worked from the computer lab, coffee shops, empty classrooms, the park, the cafeteria - basically everywhere on campus.

Then my son was born.

For the first month or two, I only went into the office when there were meetings. I didn't set up a place at home to be my office. "Who needs a home office; I have this sweet-ass gaming rig with 50 monitors! I'm gonna be the most productive guy in the world." As you can guess, that productivity lasted all of one day.

HN, Reddit, Facebook, Skype, sites like CodeEval, the StackExchange network - I had never been so distracted. I don't even regularly use Facebook, but because I had no one to answer to, it became a distraction. I started doing these short work sprints that last an hour. As retribution, I'd spend 2 hours screwing around. I'd fudge numbers on progress reports. I'd write code and do a rollback citing that a different method would be better suited to extend the application further down the road.

I used the Podomoro technique to reign myself in. 20-25 minute work stretches with 5 minutes of do whatever. That got me through roughly 10 days before the train was off the rails. I settled on working from a clean Linux partition in my wife's studio space. The need to have a true workspace when working remotely simply _cannot_ be understated.
I'd guess that a large portion of those which aren't localhost are also firewalled or otherwise inaccessible from the public Internet.
You can, but I'm a little confused as to why you would, instead of just passing a string.

Fits in with the esoteric nature of the library, though.
I didn't include it, because OS X can already make the window full screen. Do you think it would be useful just to resize the window without creating a new desktop?
