Its a reasonable start.

It provided an example of a static nat forwarding for incoming traffic.

Another common task is blocking certain outgoing traffic

block return out quick on egress from any to any port smtp

to block all outgoing email if your internal machines are all windows (to block spambots or whatever).

Or to block outgoing traffic from one device (perhaps your laser printer, or abandoned smart TV, or an "internet of powned things" device).

block return out quick on egress from 10.1.2.3

You can have huge fun with tables. So make a table of addresses to block from the internet (much like the martians table in the example), and a pile of crontab that pfctl add and pfctl delete the kids i-devices around bed time or homework time or whatever.

As a starter, its pretty good, but there should be commentary on troubleshooting tools. Here's the care and feeding of the log command to figure out what you're actually doing vs what you think you're doing. Here's how you see the current NAT table using pfctl, stuff like that. As with many security issues, its easier to enable uPNP than it is to correctly debate if you should enable uPNP, its easier to enable your whole lan to access the internet rather than blocking the laserprinter, so that's a fun topic in general.

Also it's been a tradition in linux and presumably bsd software firewalls since the mid 90s to add endless complication and logging that serves no useful purpose and is never examined or acted upon after installation until a hardware limit for hardware of that year is reached, then complain software firewalls are too slow and maybe a couple years of hardware advances will make them practical, repeat endlessly. You can shove a couple megs/sec using a 486, I certainly did in the 90s, although you can also clutter up a top of the line desktop today such that the CPU and disk IO will flood about a couple hundred K if you try hard enough by writing every packet to disk and having pages of firewall rules.
I think this is a perfect example of a pseudo scientific article. The author claims there is no free will based on another claim : "laws of Physics can describe/predict human actions". Physics does not make this second claim, at least, not yet.
You make a good point, but remember that it doesn't cover 100% of those "secret knowledge" groups. Some self-help books really are helpful. Some conspiracy theories really are true.

Think about mathematics. That's a truth that many people refuse to see or accept, yet it's plainly visible.
Lithium ion batteries don't actually contain that much lithium by mass. Lots of water is indeed the recommended approach to dealing with Li-ion battery fires.

The lithium in the batteries is far less of a concern than the magnesium used elsewhere in the car. If that gets hot enough to ignite, then you're going to have a very hard time putting it out (though the approach to burning magnesium in car fires (which is actually pretty common) is still water, water, and more water).
As a woman, I'm not sure if marriage is as simple as a checkbox of wants, needs, desires, and luxuries. A lot of people seem to model these things as a game where there is some sort of fitness function that needs to be maximised and so on, but I'm not sure if that works too well.

In the middle of the 20th century, von Neumann and his ilk predicted nuclear war with absolute certainty. So certain were they in their conviction that they in fact advocated a first-strike policy by the US, but that war never came. The models were adjusted to include repeated games and then people said, that's the reason why we haven't blown up. (see: http://www.scu.edu/business/economics/workingpapers/upload/F... ) But rationally speaking the game of global annihilation was a single game - the person who moved first would have the fewest people die and then there would be no more games, so their analysis doesn't quite hold up. Indeed there have been times where people have tried to destroy the world, but someone, somewhere down the chain of command has said no and prevented that outcome. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Arkhipov and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov )

Maybe, just maybe, we should accept that while looking at the world through the lens of game theoretic models is useful for a lot of applications - it isn't the be all and end all of human society. There are women out there who do indeed care about those points and want to "better" their rank within the game they play. There are others for whom that game doesn't even exist and they can be just as desirable and amazing as the first group. So at the end, you could very well end up not playing the game and have a shot at a pretty decent life and find some happiness.
Ask HN: What are the risks of radio frequency fields?
My friend's rooftop has a cell tower on it. The door leading to the roof has a sign that states: "Radio frequency fields beyond this point may exceed the FCC general public exposure limit. Obey all posted signs and site guidelines for working in radio frequency environments."

Rule(S) 47 CFR 1.1307(b)

Can anyone tell me the dangers associated? Should I not go on the roof at all?
Wait, what, these things have no bugs, you say? All software has bugs, unintended side effects, untested code paths, and other cruft at the lower layers, especially when interfacing with the OS. Look how many vulnerabilities have been found in the JPG libraries alone, and that's just a bitmap; how hard could it be, right?

I know this was a week ago you wrote this but I only today came across this essay by Georg Henrik von Wright called "Humanism and the Humanities" that I think is apt.

In §13 he says (and I'm going to quote the thing in full),

<blockquote>I shall now advance a thesis which I am sure many will find controversial but which I think is true and, moreover, crucial for understanding the methodological status of the humanities and the relation of the humanities to the sciences of nature. The thesis goes as follows:
Just as natural, i.e. non-intentional phenomena are 'governed' by natural laws, i.e. principles which tell us either what will invariably or in statistical average be the case under in principle recurrent and repeatable circumstances, in an analogous manner intentional phenomena are 'governed' by normative rules which tell us what people under given circumstances are (or were) expected or allowed or practically necessitated to do. I am, in other words, pleading for what might be called a 'methodological parallelism' between natural laws on the one hand and laws and other societal rules on the other hand. I am inviting you to see the difference between the humanities and the natural sciences in the light of the difference between the factual and the normative, between rules which state how things in fact go and rules which ordain how they should go according to the conceptions of those who instituted the rules.</blockquote>

Make of that what you will :)

And they should, the value of the dollar is relative to the total in the economy. I suspect, because the question was even asked, the participants read into the study as a question of economics. I would have done the same thing.

Assuming the two people make up the total economy; $120 out of a total $220 is a greater amount of money than is $140 out of $300.

Mandrake, which became Mandriva Linux, is history, but it lives on through ROSA Linux, Mageia and OpenMandriva.

Mandrake Linux was the third distro I used, after Red Hat and Linux PowerPC 2000. Btw, I still have my 2-set Mandrake Linux 8.1 CD.
1) It's certainly not the same logic as "When we raise the bottom, this thinking goes, it gets harder to move to the top.".

The affiliate link / skimlinking issue is pretty interesting. I don't like that Skimlinks changes urls on click, but the basic idea of automating an affiliate network is solid. The biggest problem with the web is how to properly pay people who actually creat value, and this moves in that direction.

I like your suggestion that Pinterest develop a direct businesses relationship with affiliate linkers, but I think it should be broader. If you force people to pay for the right to post affiliate links, volune will be low. It would be much better to simply add a money layer on top of the existing inspiration network.

Here's the idea: Every heavy Pinterest user is an affiliate partner

User joins the site, uses it normally. Pinterest skimlinks all their posts, creating revenue when the ser posts something high quality yhat drives purchase behavior. When the user hit a certain level of posts / views, they are invited to opt-in to a revenue sharing deal. The user gets 50% of the skinlink revenue. This incentives more sharing and creates a path for fir-profit pintresting.

The biggest challenge here is brand accounts. Brands who don't develop a direct relationship with Pinterest are skimlinked like everyone else, and basically wind up paying Pinterest for revenue-creating links to their own sites.

This would probably drive straight affiliate linking clickbaiters off the site, because they can't make as much as they would with a direct affiliate relationship with the target site. I think you'd makr up for the lost posts in higher posting rates by newly incentived power users though. It would encourage people to share actionable links, increasing the overall value of the platform.

I appealed to the history of it! If Eric and friends arrived at the term "hacker" through means other than the word "hack" i'd honestly love to know how, but like I said, his writing doesn't touch on it at all apart from to say that him and his friends started as a bunch of hobbiests. The best I can do is surmise that as hobbiests they believed they were crudely cutting and shaping software. What else would be it be? An Acronym? Happy Automation Creation Kids?

I don't mean to stir up trouble so don't take my comment offensively or anything - but every time I see debian packaging being talked about reminds me how thankful I should be to only have to deal with Arch packages.

The Debian packaging pipeline is really insanely complex. Arch packaging barely needs a tutorial at all. The best part about it is how all the packaging tools are shipped with the package manager. pacman can install remote packages as well as tarballs, and "makepkg" ships with pacman.

Scratch that actually - the best part about it is how development libraries ship alongside the packages. I really don't miss having to install -dev packages all the time, especially having hundreds of them polluting all my queries.

When I tried creating packages for debian (this was quite a way back and it seems like things have improved, but not that much), I spent ages getting all the packages I needed in the first place and I had to keep track of far too many commands, had to constantly re-open the tutorials every time I wanted to create a new one. The PPA system is also far too cumbersome for one-off packages you want to distribute, compared to distributing just a PKGBUILD / source package (especially since arch has the AUR).

I feel the debian world could really stand to take some lessons from Arch in that aspect.

Given that Uber is going to replace each and everyone of their drivers with automatic cars it's really just pure capitalism. Not good, not evil.

Calling it "capitalism at it's worst" is putting a lot of noise into the discussion as it assume that it can be solved with better morals or ethics.

But even if Uber paid it's drivers as actual employers instead of this absurd freelance status they have it wouldn't change the fact that uber is going to replace it's drivers because technology allows it.

And so the real discussion is not what do we do with bad actors in capitalism (we have rules for that), it's not even are uber bad actors.

No the real discussion is what we do with the fact that technology is slowly but surely replacing workers with machines and leaving an increasing number of people unemployable because they don't have good enough skills.

This is no ones fault, it's just what technology does and the sooner we start to accept the premise of technology the sooner we will be able to discuss the real issues without calling people names.

But this wont happen until the economic models start factoring technology in and not treat it as an externality. Cause not until then the politicians will start to be able to see the real impact of technology (both the good and the bad) in a more balanced view.
See my comment on why that is a poor example.

There was a very interesting article posted here yesterday:

http://blog.sumall.com/journal/optimizely-got-me-fired.html (discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10872359)

Take a good look at it. Ignore the surface-level content about fixing the stats behind A/B tests. Read what else is there.

This article literally admits that marketing industry is destroying itself from inside, by applying on each other the same dishonest tactics they use on us. Now I don't know if it'll be enough to help users - maybe it's only buying us time before they figure out how to effectively manipulate people, or maybe it just makes adtech a stable, self-perpetuating resource waster - but it does feel good.

The ad industry doesn't have a problem with ad blockers. It has a problem with basic human decency.

As Peter Thiel also said, Uber is an ethically challenged company. It's means are not proper, but it's super convenient for commuters, and that's what capitalism cares about.
Yeah, and no mention about boost::async, which is in Boost, ie almost standard.
It's supplied as standard with Postgres. If they weren't willing to accept a bug report against it, they wouldn't be shipping it.

You mean LOC vs another framework? That would be the only relevant metric in this context.
Right. Also, I read that most people that object minimum wage increase are those that are just a little above it themselves. That exactly explains what Godin talks about here. Those people won't have anyone to feel superior to if they lose their tiny wage differential.

That seems a little far-fetched. You ask someone about distributing cash between them and their neighbor and of course the participant will assume that what you're talking about is their wealth relative to the sum total wealth of the entire world or the effects of large-scale inflation?
Hello!

As you know, the programming world grows so fast. Loads of packages are being created day by day. And there are so many programming laguages around. When the developers try new languages, they need to reuse their experience.

equiv allows you to use your experience in all programming languages. And it makes you adopt a new language faster.

Let's say you are a Rubyist who wants to develop a web application with Python. Since you are a Ruby user, you already know Sinatra, but don't know the Python world. Just use equiv and it will find you the Python equivalent of Sinatra.

The equiv is still in very early release, does not have much packages yet, but in time I want to extend them by the contributions of the community.

Sounds like a good idea. I wonder why isn't this a thing yet?

Edit: I googled "porn search" instead of using DDG and found out that is a thing. Looks like, there are tons of porn search engines. That means it's not enough just to create one anymore. Some unique advantage is needed, isn't it?

P.S.: My humble observation is on Reddit you get downvoted for "Good try Zuckerberg", "they'll steal my idea", and not accepting "idea is nothing, implementation is everything". Looks like that's not the case here on HN.

At least for me, competition has always been fierce especially early on and I paid for it with my health. In later years, I have found that I have acquired the tools (technical and business-oriented) and discipline to hold my own amongst my colleagues and also recognize political patterns in organizations without burning out. That has helped me survive this long without folding my hand early in the game. I love coding, but not as much as my health and well-being.
Gaius,

Studies are mixed on the pros/cons of office vs remote. For example a Stanford study showed productivity increased 9 to 13% for remote office workers. Some have shown that collaboration can increase as well as communication was more intentional (I don't remember the study offhand).

Anyways, point is it's not all or nothing and the data is still out on effectiveness and efficiency (I'd think it also depends on the nature of the work etc)
Many smaller and mid-size companies tend to have more of an ad-hoc process of setting meetings and making decisions than larger firms. In my experience, people who are working from home or in another time-zone tend to miss out on a chance to participate. And if they are on another continent like Asia, their influence becomes even more remote.

That's a pretty bold conclusion without any evidence. The concept of a salary is to pay someone in return for work performed. How would Seth feel if I make the same amount of money as him just by sitting at home (obviously an extreme scenario from one aspect)? It would undervalue his contributions, his hard work and dedication, the obstacles he had to overcome, etc. Any reasonable individual would have second thoughts about working at a company that considers a manager as an equal (financially, salary-wise) to a janitor (for example).

It would be safe to say that those two people didn't quit because other employees got a raise. It was probably due to the fact that their contributions didn't hold the same value anymore.
As someone who goes to SF for a lot of conferences, hotels are pretty outrageous as well. Depends on the relative areas, but they're probably worse than Manhattan as well. Depends on demand during a given week, but hotels are pretty easily $300/night with taxes.
A lot of people state that Python/PHP/Ruby/Javascript on the dynamic language side and Java and other JVM languages on the statically typed side and much quicker to develop than C++, but being a very experienced Java programmer and a decent Javascript programmer I find that I can program just as fast with C++ as long as you use the right choices of libraries and use C++11 or greater. With libraries like Boost, fbfolly, wangle, etc. I find it can be just as quick to develop C++ code as with other languages. I think too many people think C++ is a huge investment above other languages due to past experience, but I feel that it is just not true anymore. Thanks for this post, I think it shows just how quick it is to write performant modern C++, when you stand on the shoulders of other libraries. Just like the other languages.
As an example, the all-business SAS flight from Houston to Norway was targeted at oil company employees [1]. It couldn't fly 7 days a week because they had to take the plane offline once a week for cleaning/maintenance and there was no other all-business plane to rotate into its place. They stopped the route because the oil price slump reduced travel of oil company employees.
