I use to work for an OSS company in Wellington. I can only imagine the crazy garbage going around the company e-mail list over this. (When Microsoft and Cyanogen partnered on some things, people there went ape shit).

There's a slight advantage to doing it at the registrar because it keeps the hit off your servers. This is assuming of course that http://foo.com/bar will get redirected to http://www.foo.com/bar rather than just having everything redirected to the http://www.foo.com.

Edit: I'm wrong. See tadfisher's comment below.
When you reach their size, it's not a big deal to build and maintain your own DNS serving infrastructure; in that case, you can do as you please, which might include serving up a pool of A records round-robin style or using an expensive magic DNS geodirector thingamabob.
Author here.

I'm honestly pleasantly surprised you assumed I was in fact a multitudinous entity. In some aspects I am, but in actual practice I am but one corporeal form containing what I believe to be one brain. Having said that, I am picking up more active tänzer maintenance as I work on a different project of mine; eventually I will be porting tänzer to C, while maintaining a Tcl wrapper with the current interface, though I would avail tänzer to other languages.

I'm curious: Is there anything in particular you'd like to see happen with tänzer, or do you have any pain points need addressing? I'm monitoring my GitHub account more keenly these days; though I always consider http://tanzer.io/git/tanzer.git to be the authoritative repository, http://github.com/xantronix/tanzer is the best place to raise issues and offer changes.

Thanks for your interest!

EDIT: It is possible I have misinterpreted your statement somewhat, but the helpful meat of what I have to offer still remains. Ask away!
A lot of the feedback you're getting is saying that the problem you're interested in solving can already by solved by other tools or simply isn't a major problem. What features do you envision that can't already be handled by Trello?

I would consider reading the comments again, it seems like a lot more people are wanting a way to quickly fill out a variety of similar but non-standard forms than want either a job board or a job app tracker.
> just enough to pass PCI-DSS

nope, the only way Linode "pass" now is being below the self-assessment questionnaire threshold. Once they have to move to an actual external audit they are fucked.
You will want the naked and www subdomains to point to the same address in your DNS configuration, and you will want to configure your webserver to issue a 301 redirect to the canonical subdomain at the HTTP layer. There are several reasons for this, but the most pressing is that it does not make sense to use a CNAME record for the naked domain.
Not in Russia, probably not in Iran or North Korea. Challenging in China.

They could likely assassinate him in most places, although in NK/RU/CN/IR it would likely involve a lot of collateral damage, although probably not global thermonuclear war.

Yes, it took entirely too much reading to determine this.
Nuremberg defense didn't work because they were active participants. Someone like Snowden can merely quit their job or otherwise refuse to assist.

Manning is rightfully serving 35 hard years in jail because she was butthurt about the military. She's a great a reason why it shouldn't be allowed.
It depends on how the server applies the rules, how you do business, and how aggressive you want to be.

If you use external services that send mail on your behalf, and they screw up, hard fails will sometimes get the message flagged.

If you use Google, they rely on spf and DKIM.
> India's government is pretty heavily involved in trying to break down social inequality.

Is the current BJP administration trying to do that, or is that the long-term trend? Also, is the BJP trying to help the Muslim minority or only Hindus?
A redirect is also completely invisible to the user, and should only add a few microseconds to the page load. But you should always redirect www. if you are not using www. Many people instinctively type that into the address bar when you tell them a domain name.
Note that the usual method for doing so (a CNAME on the bare domain) prevents you from adding other resource records (such as MX) on the domain.

Generally actions done to your citizens abroad will cause less retribution than actions done to host nation citizens in host nation. Even better if there is any level of plausible (or even implausible) deniability.

Russia pretty much got away with murdering Litvinenko in London; if they'd done that to a natural-born UK citizen in the UK with no other ties to Russia, and unambiguously, there would have been much more serious consequences.
Hint for anyone not aware: click the coloured bar beneath the 'commits, branches, releases, ...' buttons to see the breakdown of languages in a GitHub project.

(I agree with you that the README could have made it clearer, but clicking that bar is about the second thing I do when I visit a GitHub repo :) ).
I'm of the opinion the average person doesn't do any program because they have no idea how it can help because they have no experience doing any. Its hard to use a tool to do something if you have no idea what the tool is even capable of.
Think about all the little things that you do with your computers that non-technical people wouldn't do. If you couldn't do math you would have to trust that your change was correct or derive some counting based mechanism. If you couldn't write or read you would need to rely on memorizing things or ask people who could.

While it might not be "real" programming I would suggest that basic exposure to programming in school would make the following activities (not limited to them obviously) more accessible to the population and it would be a Good Thing (tm)

* Figuring out why their computer/gadget isn't working

* Writing small scripts and/or using scripty features like functions in Excel

* Be a more informed customer of technology products

* Find software to address solved problems (just knowing to look is half the battle here)

* Better understand URLs (improve computer security, know that it's a stupid listicle and don't bother clicking, etc)

I'm sure there's more good things and would love to hear others. I tried to keep them on the same order as being able to read the fine print or balance a checkbook style benefits since we've decided that education shouldn't imply to children that they could grow up to be authors or mathematicians (kidding!).

It's not an easy subject at all but even just understanding the basics are hugely helpful in terms of un-abstracting the machines we use every day. I think it's hard to overestimate how much easier life is when you can address more of your own problems.

Let's say there's a program that takes a list of things and prints envelopes or something. If you or I submit the list and it keeps dying on me, but another list worked fine, I'll probably check the list that doesn't work. Hm. Oh look, there's an umlaut in this guy's name, maybe it doesn't accept unicode [s/ü/u, try again].... awesome, it works.

You only need to have been exposed to loops and character encoding and bad input to have that be your response instead of "GAH! THE MEAN PROGRAM HATES ME!".

It's a contrived and simplistic example but just watching my family around technology is kind of fascinating and sad because there is definitely a kind of mental tax or anxiety about what they perceive to be the pernicious beyond-control nature of their devices. Maybe that's actually the best reason to expose kids to programming: in order to avoid a sense of helplessness and that these machines are controlled by magic wielded by others. Given the overwhelming influence that programs are playing in people's lives it almost seems unfair not to expose people to the basic mechanics of how they work.
Just because I want a less bright background for reading text doesn't mean I want my monitor to be incapable of displaying a bright white - it's not only used for reading text.
Great point. And candidly I never actually do this myself (CNAME on the bare domain), I just point it at the server and let apache/nginx handle the redirect.
Maybe for single and rich people.

The cost for prepared food is at least 5x what you can do at home.
Right-wing parties often sell themselves as bringing more order. Famously, Benito Mussolini, who openly embraced fascism in Italy, promised to make the trains run on time.

(It's order for the groups the fascists represent but state-imposed disorder for the minorities and others that are oppressed.)
SolveBio (my startup) has parsed, normalized, and indexed a bunch of the datasets listed under biology. Our goal is to make these kinds of datasets easier to access for programmers and non-programmers alike, similar to other some sites mentioned here (Enigma and Quandl) but for genomics. You can query and filter the data on the website or through one of our API clients: https://www.solvebio.com/library
I think that civilization might pop like a bubble and mass despondency would occur as it seems to have occured when "low" discovers "high" on earth. There is a feeling of superfluousness when one realizes they cannot contribute to the forefront of culture, as I feel depressed when I feel I will never have enough programming skill to get a job on this planet and will just be a human pet my whole life. Nevertheless, I don't think aliens will ever show up. Human desires are ultimately illogical and if "cultures" "advance" enough I think they will disappear like the Dwemer, they will no longer be able to cross the is-ought divide except perhaps to desire survival - perfect adaptation to the environment. But perfect adaptation to the environment implies the antithesis of power: it means your being is completely determined not from anything inside but the outside. This means becoming invisible, becoming at one with the universe, becoming the laws of physics themselves. Just imagine if we got the technology to install into the brain like "whoa I know kung-fu" in The Matrix. People could be backed up on github. Individuality would die out and most people would feel horrifically superfluous. "Civilization" might have drastically reduced desire for human bodies, especially combined with desire engineering (one could remove survival instincts and bring world population down to the 500 million many elites already want [including an editorial in my local paper today]). But what is the end of such a society? I think space exploration would be pointless if one had the computational ability to imagine whole worlds and keep population down to a steady state except maybe one nearby planet in case of an asteroid. One might engineer away the wanderlust when trying to abolish pain and depression and all suffering.
Right. By the time most people remember how to scan a QR code, they could've typed in the URL.
> Are the rest of them not as important as the ones already released?

Likely. There is also a question of framing overall discourse. For example, Der Spiegel and The Intercept recently posted some documents from that pile, showing how the US hacked Israeli feeds from jet fighters to monitor possible attacks against Iran. The original piece was extremely balanced, highlighting the conflicted relationship and conflict on policy choices and overall strategies.

The Guardian picked it up with a piece that was very much pro-Israel, drumming up support for Israeli hawks (at a time when they are extremely isolated on the international stage).

Whenever this sort of material enters the discourse, you have to be very careful if you want to avoid other people framing it in the "wrong" way. I don't blame Greenwald's people for taking their time.
If nobody had kitchens, there would be cafeterias where you could go to eat (most people would get a monthly pass). Meals there would be much cheaper than anything you could cook at home, because of economy of scales.
So what? There is nothing unique about ports in this regard. If you want to manually patch your software, you can do it equally easily with deb/apt or rpm/yum/dnf.
OT: I'd be interested in what you have to say, but all subtlety and ideas are lost to hyperbole. All I understand is: This topic really bothers you.
Food can wait. You go to your local cafeteria to eat.

Man where do these leftist feminazis get the balls to write such fabricated shit, fucking make the Muslim politician the good guy and the Hindu men the bad guys. Oh, look at those stupid Hindu superstitions, woman are treated so bad in Inidia. Fuck these people, sure discrimination does occur, I bet it happens even the USA or any other country albeit more subtly. But it is nowhere as bad as these low life fucks have fabricated it to be. In this day and age no man in India would stop his wife from earning money to supplement the family income. Would he get drunk with the money and gamble it away ? Sure that is pretty common, and the Muslim women have it the hardest, which is an open secret, heck there is no uniform civil code in India, Muslim men can be polygamous, first write about that you cunts at New York Times.

I plead ignorance here. I'm sort of out of touch with recent developments, with typically just buying a cert when I need it. So I have a question -- where will Let's Encrypt certificates not work? I see Mozilla and Chrome as sponsors, so I'm guessing it's added as authority in at least those browsers?

This would be great, apart from apparent insurance regular certificates bring, which I still don't know how to claim.

Do you believe that in 100 years, most houses will have kitchens and people will cook for themselves? I don't think so.
The Nuremberg defense "didn't work" because it was not morally justifiable, nothing to do with being active or passive - the whole trial literally created law out of moral imperatives. I urge you to educate yourself on the German post-nazi discourse.

Also, quitting your job is not an answer, evil does not stop if you ignore it.
Talk to counsel. In my state, you'd be obliged to report this as a data breach.
>Well why could you not explain what the money was for?

I possess a non-trivial amount of bitcoins, I sold some. It's really impossible for me to figure out what I got those specific bitcoins for, especially since this was around when bitcoin was at around $1k a pop so selling 7 or so was absolutely nothing for me.

According to Finnish law money laundering is activity where someone receives, spends, transforms or transfers illicitly obtained (this is a bit difficult to translate but the law specifically says "acquired by crime") property to cover up or disappear the origins of the property.

Logically you shouldn't be able to be convicted of this without proof that the crime actually happened, but apparently not here. Lighter sentences seem to make it easier to wrongly convict people, especially when it's extraordinarily rare for them to actually end up in prison.
Wow, Clarion. In my younger days, I helped write a Clarion app to help homeowners insurance agencies electronically rate new policies after Florida re-wrote it's insurance underwriting rules to force everyone to follow the same formulas. Was pretty popular, though my contributions were fairly minor.

I recommend considering fields in modeling and simulations (aeronautics/defense and power generation simulations were great opportunities for me going from ME undergrad to experienced SE). Expect to work in Fortran/Ada/C/C++ though, but I found an ME background is a huge advantage over the typical SE/CE candidates and are highly coveted by defense, utility, and consulting firms. It gives you endless opportunities to actually practice the diverse knowledge/skills built in a decent ME program.
Learn to be a better manager. If you're a leader, you need to lead and make sure your person or people is actually doing what they need to be doing.

That's exactly how I think high performance numerical code should be structured like. Unfortunately this thinking hasn't quite arrived in the Fortran world yet where most don't really think about a two-language-approach.
How many iOS Objective C books have been written in the past 18 months? I count at least 3 dozen Swift books:

> 1. Some hosts might want you to use a CNAME record to send them your web traffic, and CNAME records are undesirable for apex domain names because they can't coexist with other records you might need (like MX).

Nitpick: With the exception of RRSIGs, a CNAME record must be the only record at a given owner name. Since the apex of a zone has a SOA record, a CNAME cannot exist there.

It wasn't that long ago that you could have said the same thing about the avarage person never even coming close to reading/writing. The avarage person doesn't come close to programming largely because they don't know how. Improving our education & tooling will go a long way to solving this.
>> The average government worker has no qualifications or capability to determine what is or isn't legal.

>> Sorry to godwinize, but that's the Nuremberg defense in a nutshell.

The reason that the Nuremberg defense isn't a valid defense is because the acts that were being committed were so clearly without question grossly unconscionable.

Demanding that every member of the intelligence community constitutionally examine the project they're working on is a ridiculous demand. Most of them literally lack the mental tooling to do so. I don't mean they're stupid, I mean that they would first need to go read up on all the relevant case law and legal theory. While it would certainly be personally fulfilling for many of them and raise the level of discussion with regards to the legality of certain programs, I hardly think you can consider that a reasonable requirement. Additionally I don't think you can call most surveillance programs so ethically deranged on their face that any reasonably good but casually constructed set of ethics demands non-participation.
