As a Debian user, it's a fine tutorial. Not every .deb is built for distribution with Debian itself. The only change I'd make is to clarify that what's being built here is a "for personal use only" package.

As to the debian.org guides, I've always found them obtuse precisely because they emphasise what you've got to do to get a package distributed, rather than the plain technical details of how they work.
This was my favorite of the Smiley series and my favorite of his novels that I have read so far (almost half of them). Really like the change of scenery from the cold and dreary settings of the U.K., Germany, and Russia.

Surprisingly though it is A Murder of Quality (the only Smiley novel not set in the spy world) that has stuck with me the most.

Ask HN: What is interesting in the field of Computer Science?
Other fields are thinking about theories/experiments relating to the universe like black holes and subatomic particles. I've been looking at this stuff recently and found myself very interested. Then I thought about computer science. What is interesting in the field of CS?
-I think it is better to advance in the technologies that you know like HTML/CSS and PHP. Advance what I mean is learning about things like

- First of all don't worry about the new technologies coming out every day. Rather than that give more focus to architecture. learn more about Design patterns, its benefits, its implementation, Code structuring, Optimization, Scalability etc.

- If you don't know MVC architecture (the most popular architecture) then learn a PHP framework like Laravel or Yii. The framework also teaches you common methodologies like Object-oriented programming, Object-relational mapping, Templating, etc.

- Once you learned any framework, and, of course, like everyone you try to build an application. Go for it. But at this type when you deal with HTML try to improve it slowly. Like learning more about tags and setting up the layout. Updating to HTML5 won't be that difficult. It's all matter in practice and you can practice it while building the application. But don't think about CSS until you finish the app.

- After Building the app then think about CSS. now you spend time learning CSS. Because most of the people think it's a matter of learning the properties and use it. To some extent it's true, but when you deal with real scenarios it's not. A simple CSS issue can bring down the business for an hour. It's very critical. So give a bit time in learning CSS and CSS3. When you learning, understand more about Organizing, Layouts & Web Typography. The terms sound pretty big. But it's very easy to make it as a practice.

- Once you understand CSS, add that knowledge to the app you are building. But before that, I suggest you make a pencil and paper sketch of the page and components. You can search for grid paper (with browser template) download and print it. And use that for drawing, because it helps to calculate the pixel values. and it helps you writing CSS. The sketch acts as a blueprint for the CSS. and Its fun doing. you feel like an engineer.. :)

- After all, if you are still thirsty then learn jquery. after that, Javascript design patterns and then after any frameworks like ReactJS or AngularJs or etc.

- Learning a PHP frameworks help you a lot in learning HTML, CSS, and basic javascript uisng jquery. so its worth trying.

* This is my modified based on my real experience. Long ago I started from system maintenance to a Geographical information system engineer to a backend developer to a frontend developer and now to a designer. and I also travel through the same path you travelled PHP, HTML and CSS. and little bit python. This is just a vague suggestion. feel free to ask more. All the best

Peace
That does seem very flawed. If there's a strong correlation between gender and age in the field then why would that be not accounted for? I can definitely see people assuming the older person was the brains/leader of a project.
This is, in my opinion, also part of the reason why we have sects, conspiracy theories, etc. Maybe even self help books (and a lot of blogs on HN).

People need a reason to feel important, and if someone comes along and tells them that there is some truth out there that the other suckers refuse to see or accept, it can be a seducing tale.

The problem with hierarchical filesystems is people who can't organize in a hierarchical manner, regardless of presence or absence of excuse or responsibility, make a mess of size X. And likewise the problem with tagged data is likewise the people who can't organize tags is arguably an equal or larger group and they end up with a huge steaming mess, although its of size 1000 times X especially WRT human effort required to clean up and curate.

The classic analogy is you unleash genealogists on a village cemetery and have them produce a family tree and the output is actually useful information. Unleash the same team and ask them to digitally tag tombstones, and you just get a pile of useless, error filled data, packed with duplicates and weird capitalization issues. This is a classic "information vs data" misunderstanding.

Another problem with hierarchical vs tagged is we have somewhat obtuse yet usable set of tools to handle truly immense spammy hierarchical filesystems, but strategies for handling and scaling tagged filesystems usually are hand waved away with "it'll never happen" or "we'll sprinkle magic AI dust on it, then it'll evaporate away". A classic "make the simple easier, while making the more difficult impossible". No thanks.

Much as there's nothing really new under the sun in IT, a generation or two ago this was "sure sendmail configuration is complicated, but all it needs is a GUI because in the small subset of problem domains that are a match for GUIs and people with a problem simple enough to be handled in a GUI, it works well, therefore its perfect for everyone to do everything in"

Also data typing is just a subset of tagging. Or rephrased a type is a very poorly implemented limited single tag.

Ditto the above with a "decent shell language" again we're dealing with people who can't handle paper calendars without a book telling them how (GTD, 42 folders, etc). They're just going to mess things up quicker with automation, while people who can handle the cognitive challenge will likewise jump into org mode or crontab without any serious effort on their part... You "could" write a noob gui for a nuclear reactor, or a UI for even newborn babies to use matches, but you probably shouldn't.

As a meta observation this is a classic "future is already here just unevenly distributed" problem, I use databases and git all the time. However see the comment about the GUI for sendmail... Much like some people are unqualified to be handed an acetylene cutting torch or a beryllium-Pu neutron source, some people should not be handed relational DBs or KV stores or version control, and if they had the background to understand and safely use those tools, the existing tools aren't really all that hard to use for folks of adequate cognitive level.

> Plenty of what programmers are doing isn't hacking.

and plenty of hackers aren't programmers. In Eric Raymond's definition of a hacker http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html it states:

"There is a community, a shared culture, of expert programmers and networking wizards that traces its history back through decades to the first time-sharing minicomputers and the earliest ARPAnet experiments. The members of this culture originated the term ‘hacker’. Hackers built the Internet. Hackers made the Unix operating system what it is today. Hackers make the World Wide Web work. If you are part of this culture, if you have contributed to it and other people in it know who you are and call you a hacker, you're a hacker."

I mention this because Merriam-Webster's definition on the other hand is somewhat flawed:

1: one that hacks

2: a person who is inexperienced or unskilled at a particular activity <a tennis hacker>

3: an expert at programming and solving problems with a computer

4: a person who illegally gains access to and sometimes tampers with information in a computer system

In particular, #3 doesn't mention hackers that aren't experts in programming but might solve problems with hardware/networking. A better #3 definition would be: "A person that computer programming, computer networking, or other technology at an expert level to come up with an innovative solution."

>It's not like reversing lights or turn indicators, which give a hint about what the driver is about to do.

On the contrary, such an indication would be precisely a hint to other drivers as to what sort of behavior one should expect from the auto-driving car.

I'd be quite a lot happier with the concept of autonomous automobiles if they'd just communicate better, personally .. like, autonomous cars should be publicly trackable with an open information network, imho .. so we, the public, can know when we are not dealing with a human but rather a machine, in life-critical situations.

As far as I can tell, it's not just the general public that's being overlooked - every country that signs on to import the US's terrible policies (I'm a US citizen) is giving up future sovereignty. This boggles the mind. Governments of today are signing away the sovereign rights of governments of tomorrow to establish the rule of law as they see fit.

I'm not a New World Order conspiracy theorist, but am I misreading the impact on democratic societies to govern themselves that this represents?

And hey, if the US can export this set of corporate-protectionism laws to other democracies, do you really think they'll stop with the TPP?

That's true for the most part, I mean, the government obviously didn't mention some of the things that are in the cable unless they deliberately wanted to shoot themselves in the foot, but the news would systematically feature pieces about Qadaffi's awkward presence on Bastille Day along with the oil, gold and silver.

My point is that the cable was nothing more than a short compilation of common knowledge and hearsay, like you said, "more or less valid assumptions" that you could easily get by switching radio channels a few times during your tuesday morning commute.

In other words it's marketing without much resources. Nothing much to do with hacking. When you repair your car with a used part or a part from a different model, are you "hacking your car" ?

It is a surprise to us, since the propaganda we read shows ISIS as completely insane. If you read their propaganda exclusively then I could imagine you might be swayed the other way.

We are all subject to propaganda every day. We have little idea of the scale of its influence, since there are no control subjects.

How many young men joined the US Marines because of the influence of their friends who were already serving? Do you think they knew the truth of what they would face in Iraq and Afghanistan when they got there?

That's why US military deaths and injuries were 'hidden' from The public for so long. That's why statistics about civilian deaths in Iraq were never discussed by those in power.

It isn't a surprise to learn that ISIS are brutal and barbaric. But let's not assume we are knights in shining armour either.

The surprise should be that we are surprised! We need to ask ourselves how this can happen. These people aren't necessarily stupid, and we would be naïve to assume they are.

The mods have already made it perfectly clear[0] that paywalled articles are acceptable, though. This isn't a subject which is apparently up for debate - flagging paywalled articles is an abuse of flagging, abuse of flagging will lead to loss of flagging rights, and complaining about paywalled articles is off topic, and off topic discussion gets pruned and voted down.

If you don't like that an article is paywalled, provide a workaround link (which many such sites have, so they can still get SEO from the article) or just don't comment on that article.

Is Verizon FiOS throttling download speeds at peak times?
I have been experiencing a consistent speed drop off from my usual 75Mbps down every night from 7PM to 12AM (midnight) CST. I have confirmed at least one more person in my neighborhood (2 streets over) is experiencing the same pattern.

I also confirmed another person ~20 miles away is NOT experiencing this. It may be local to my area, but I am not certain.

Here is the graph http://i.imgur.com/AfyhmvH.jpg of my SpeedTest data which I run every 15 mins.

I have seen threads floating around on the web where people have complained that Verizon FIOS is throttling their connection speeds at night.

My problem is only w/ the download speeds dropping roughly by 15x. The upload is still fine.

It's not to a specific website or service, it's across the board.

The VZ tech told me it may be a "pond" (?) card that needs to be rebuilt at the central office, however, could it actually be just throttling/overselling/saturation?

Though those concerns may be real, the privacy issue being discussed is still a trick employed by Facebook. By redirecting people's fear towards the amount of information that the public can see, they were able to keep them from talking about the original issue -- what Facebook tracks, saves, and uses for advertising.

Actually the UK tax code is canonically simple and should be adopted by the whole world ;)
