I'm kind of got to be a Confluence Wiki Admin without prior notice and overall I would agree that they do a good job - but everything addon and macro related could get some clear and concise overhaul. I understand it's an ecosystem and there are lot's of clever and good ideas floating around but I'm never sure what can I use on my local confluence instance and what not... some documentation for newbie "idiot" developers is there.. and something for total professionals.. anything in between seems lacking. Luckily there is some stuff on bitbucket that you can analyse to get a grip on some ideas but it's neither intuitive nor easy.

TL;DR: Confluence besides their Cloud is kind of badly treated and documentation for modern and up to scratch immediate plugin development is mostly nonexistent.
Adding recommended ssh configs is a good idea. I'll file a ticket.
That's definitely the extreme case of "inattentive driver". There are different tradeoffs though -- if the driver is having a heart attack, you want to pull over and signal the emergency ASAP, whereas if the driver is merely distracted it's probably better to only take over when there's a danger to be averted.
It will take some time before they realize it though. And I find it hard that any company would pay someone who has no experience in a language boatloads of money, even if its an excellent programmer in another language.

I'm pretty sure the problem is worse than just offering money. This is why many large corporations will pay a lot more for consultants and the like rather than risk it with independent contractors, despite the contractors being much cheaper.

My first impression was _gaah!_ just RTFM! But after calming down, I realized this is not significantly different from a command line version of TinkerTool. Not necessarily something I would use, but I could see an audience for it.

This is a very good attitude. In general, the impression I get of Nordic countries is of a more egalitarian social contract with people looking out for each other rather than the culture of personal progress at any cost that we see elsewhere.

PNG was not designed to be used for photograph-like images. The rest of those were not designed to be lossless formats, the lossless version is just a tacked-on afterthought.

Very unsurprising to find a codec that can beat those.

the latest recap from the reddit live thread

https://www.reddit.com/live/x99pqdwudg0l/updates/b7a15982-4a...

What do we know so far?

A white truck have Thursday evening, driven through a police cordon and into a big group of people, who were celebrating, France national day, (Independence Day) in Nice.

The truck driver is dead and shot by the french police.
According to french media and local charges, there is at least 70+ dead and 100+ injured.

Authorities have cordoned off the crime scene, rescue workers have arrived and helicopters in the air. The local prefecture has urged people in the area to remain indoors.

Several media sources reports guns and grenades have been found inside the truck, that drove over the crowd. Police are still determining if he worked alone. Eiffel Tower covered in smoke has nothing to do with the attack, it was just fireworks. French officials call it "Accidental".

French President Francois Hollande was returning back to Paris for crisis talks in the capital, his office said. Mr Hollande was in the southern city of Avignon on a private visit.

Some reports spoke of shots being exchanged between police and the occupants of the lorry but these have not been confirmed.

Remember to follow the authorities instructions, and notify relatives if you are okay. If it is not important, please use WiFi instead of Mobile Data if you are in Nice.

Castlevania III in the US uses the MMC-5 mapper[0] which is relatively complicated as far as mappers go. Most modern emulators have no issue with it, but many cheap Nintendo-on-a-Chip clones have it[1]. Castlevania III in Japan used expansion audio through connectors that were not available in the US, and thus has enhanced sound compared to the US counterpart.

Emulation systems, such as the Retron 5, deal with Castlevania III with no issue.

You should do whatever you like, but remember that domain knowledge and math skills are not mutually exclusive. If the problem you need to solve for a major customer or project happens to be in that 30%, it may come in handy.

Linear algebra and calculus (to a lesser degree) are foundational for a great many things. Got missing data? K-NN or nuclear norm matrix completion (or marginalizing over the rest) can help. Systems of differential equations? Use a matrix exponential.

You are free to do whatever you like. A bus driver doesn't need to know how to rebuild an engine. But if you want to race cars you'll get a lot further if you do know how.

LINE isn't just chat. In addition to developing stickers and games, their integrated apps include making payments, purchasing music and comics, hailing taxis, searching for jobs, gifting, making reservations, shopping, finding flash sales, and a lot more. They also provide services such as a chatbot platform and hosted blogs.

They are constantly expanding and adding new services, and I'm sure they also have a large sales team trying to get companies on board with everything they add, and they have to do that in multiple countries.

Totally agree. Not sure if you thought I would be against it, but I'm all for keeping the roads safer. And clearly, this is also a major issue.

This type of an argument, "Sure that's bad, but this is WAY worse!" is a horrible argument. The point is, they're both bad and need to be addressed. Saying its ok for something to be legal since there are worst alternatives is a poor argument IMHO.

I agree this is very / more valuable, for my use case at least. The discussion around creating the build file is interesting.

In Django for instance, it would be straightforward to automate generating the list of apps to test:

{
"name": "my django project",
"tasks": [
"python manage.py test myapp1",
"python manage.py test myapp2",
"python manage.py test myapp3",
],
"labels":"..."
}

Those app names can be pulled from Django's settings.INSTALLED_APPS with a little config to avoid testing third party apps.

It would be cool if the architecture allows for plugins like this.

I assume you meant to say illegal drug users, because there would be literally zero neighbourhoods where people are not using drugs. Alcohol, coffee, and cigarettes for example, which have all been illegal in some countries at points in time.

There are also literally zero neighbourhoods where people are not using illegal drugs, because the truth that you don't hear about from the police and jail workers unions is that there are many high functioning productive members of society who are also illegal drug users.

This might blow your mind, but not everyone who takes illegal drugs is a junky sucking dick for crack.

That only works if you have control over the DNS and are using it.
DNS based protocols are quite flaky not every server/provider allows you to store text records and some even limit the length of the A/AAAA record.

It also becomes more complicated when you are running multiple ssh services on a single host or using proxies/forwarders.

I use a similar method to secure my own ssh services before that I used a tool that converts the fingerprint into a phrase but it wasn't collision resistant enough.

"Good" King Asoka, who conquered and burned his way across India, killing hundreds of thousands, before converting to Buddhism?

OpenSSH already supports certificates. This is a set of tools for issuing and managing those certificates.

Those aren't even examples of taste though as much as idiosyncratic single-song ratings when the topic is about preferences for different tonal groups (consonance, dissonance, etc.).

Line and Telegram both let users upload their own sticker sets. And I am a professional cartoonist who thinks nothing of spending her spare time drawing a bunch of goofy drawings of one of her characters.

I'm looking forwards to being able to dump these into Apple's sticker market. Passive income off of something I did for my own use, woohoo!

(There's also a thriving trade in custom stickers: gimme a couple hundred bucks and I'll crank out a set of goofy, expressive drawings of a cartoon character you like to be on the Internet.)

I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you implying that teenagers in Japan don't do drugs, or just that they don't rebel by using drugs?

Because teenagers in Japan most certainly do do drugs, both legal and illegal, dangerous or not.

It's interesting that you use the phrase "dangerous drugs", I assume you meant to write "illegal drugs". I would argue that making any drug illegal immediately makes it 1000x more dangerous than it is inherently. You seem to be ignoring the fact that many legal drugs are very very dangerous, and the statistics certainly agree with that. Alcohol? Cigarettes? Society definitely tolerates a certain level of danger in their legal drugs. It seems almost totally arbitrary which drugs are legal and which are not, certainly not correlated with a level of "danger".
Heh. I wonder just what the guarantee is in "Mentat guarantees job interviews, with a 99% success rate on more than 1,000 job applications." Would I get my $249 back when they can't get me a job.
Flash Forward: The Altered State

A browser is much easier to use. Every computer has a browser and no place blocks said browser. This means that when you're not near your dev machine, you can easily use another machine to log on, regardless of what software it has and which ports are open. As a bonus, you get a fullblown IDE with all your serverside dev tools (Node or Rails etc) ready to go, without any configuration or installation of packages.

For a concrete use case: my dev laptop broke down in the midst of a project, and I could just use a generalpurpose computer at location, use c9 to spin up a server, clone the git repo and I had an IDE to go with. Did not need to wait for the sysadmin to let me access a terminal or to unblock certain ports. No loss of productivity whatsoever, I was up and running in minutes.

Also, I can give others access to said c9 workspace, and they don't need to know anything besides the programming language used, to make little tweaks.
Hmm, if it was Adderall I would have a lot more money right now. Maybe Modafinil?

This comment is egregiously uncivil and is not OK on Hacker News.
I agree that it's somewhat technically more secure in that it prevents a wide array of attack vectors.

Despite of that my point is that, for the vast majority of visitors, the solution ends up being less secure due to imperfect information; If you access a service over HTTP you can accurately asses the (lack of) security and, based on an informed assessment of the risks, decide wether you want to proceed.

If you access a site over a seemingly secure connection that is terminated prior to reaching the origin, then you most likely don't have the necessary information to assess the security and associated risks relative to what you're doing: Your browser is telling you that you're at the right domain and that the connection is secure with modern cryptography (if the site is using CloudFlare). However that's not the entire story.

The browser is not telling you that the secure connection is terminated at the CloudFlare edge. This leaves it to the CloudFlare-protected site to inform the visitor that the connection is only secure some of the way in order for the visitor to make an accurate assessment of the connection's security.

I don't think most CF customers who pick "Flexible SSL" are thoroughly and accurately informing visitors of these nuances (and even if they are an MITM can modify it). That's why I absolutely do not think it's better than HTTP -- exactly because of the problems outlined in this article.

In this case I'd argue that, from the perspective of a TBP visitor, "Flexible SSL" improves security on less relevant vectors while significantly decreasing security on the vectors that matter. The coffee shop owner probably doesn't care that much about the IP rights of H/Bollywood, but this is the attack vector that Flexible SSL helps mitigate. The government does however care about such rights and CloudFlare's ISP was forced/willing to help them. CFs solution did nothing to mitigate this vector.

Now I'm not saying this is all CloudFlare fault, but I do think they share a part of the responsibility. TBP's recklessness has allowed millions of people around the world to access and use their site under the false assumption that they were protected. What I don't get is why CloudFlare has any interest in enabling such behavior. They know full well the risks associated with this solution and even admit it's inferiority compared to commando-style unencrypted HTTP. It also decreases my trust in other CloudFlare-protected sites - for all I know, as a visitor, the site may or may not be using Flexible (or perhaps just "Broken") SSL.

My suggestion is simply that they use their knowledge to provide a better service to their customers and their visitors. That probably means discontinuing this product - or clarify why the don't think that's necessary.
