First off, readelf shouldn't switch between hex and base10. Secondly, that's DSV, so you shouldn't have written a regex for it. You should have either cut, or awk, both tools SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to do what you want.
The ability to chat comfortably with a stranger for 90 minutes is orthogonal to being able to communicate effectively.
Arguably destroying the DRM protections will have ripple effects on the for-profit software market. Do you contend otherwise?
I love how everyone thinks that issues were clear in the past. Racism, anti-war efforts -- we still have those going on today. And if you think that they're any less clear now than they were then, you have your head in the sand. If you think that we don't have issues that need action now -- police brutality, women's rights, etc. -- then you probably wouldn't have been a part of the desegregation movement in the early 60s either.
It shouldn't, but supporting artists is often brought up as an argument from the content industry to justify DRM or absurd lengths of copyright. So it's valid to debunk that argument in this context.

Of course that doesn't change the fact that supporting artists is an actual problem and TheOtherHobbes' objections to the privacy cloud are very real. However, there are other projects (e.g. Patreon) that experiment with solutions without resolving to DRM.

High school guidance counselors, the music and TV shows produced by the adults in the room, and many of our parents, thank you very much.

People learn what they've been taught, and a core message to 90s children was "follow your dreams and it'll all work out". It was considered very crass to run the numbers.
In fact, it's quite probable. Doubt it'll happen in 2016, but bet it will by the end of 2017.

It does follow a standard. It's DSV. Unix tools are really good at handling that. Awk and cut specifically.
> The world has always been this scary, now we're just paying attention.

I see this a lot, and I'm never convinced. Something like the "flash crash" was impossible a decade ago, much less a century. I wouldn't claim that the world has gotten worse, but the capacity for rapid, unpredictable change has never been higher.
Funny how this is taking on a family dynamic:

Baby-Boomers: Eldest child, assertive and confident, though takes for granted the opportunities it's been provided by being the eldest, feels the younger kids would be more successful if they just followed their example.

Gen-Xers: Middle child, mostly forgotten about, more involved in taking care of the youngest.

Mellenials: Youngest child, brash and open, generally optimistic, though sometimes hit hard by the harshness of the world.
Would suggest a title change here to be about twins, not tennis champions (despite the original article using the tennis champions title).
That was not my intention though I understand the impression it might make. I was going for higher contrast. I suppose even using "green" for one could be interpreted as a form of insinuating greed? It was a sketch of an idea to conceptualize, as I'm genuinely between both parties with respect to merits and criticisms. Which, I do acknowledge, is not necessarily a welcome perspective in this particular site.
Well, that's the thing, you aren't really asking. You form the demand as a question to allow for negotiation, so it's not really a question. You should always try to walk into a negotiation from a position of power. It's an art form that is hugely valuable for getting what you want though, and you shouldn't feel bad about trying to get what you want. If you make your life better through negotiation then you might give someone else the confidence to put themselves in a better position. I'm not saying you should pretend your actions are altruistic, but don't blind yourself to the positives that can come from you trying to get what you want.
Its tricky. I usually wait until near the end of the interview, after I've asked a bunch of questions, especially when they say "do you have any other questions?" Then I say, "Hmm. What is work/life balance like at X?" I used to wait until the end of the full-day interview, but many times found out I'd wasted a day on a company that I wouldn't want to work for. So now I do it at the end of the phone screen.
Not to mention they're legally required to attempt increasing profits (maximizing shareholder value) forever. If the supply of prisoners is fixed, how else can that be done other than creating worse and worse prisons?

Well, on Windows there's COM for this, which is technically the C ABI too, but really deserves to be considered its own thing.

Just this week, I've been collecting feedback from my team. Some of the most powerful I received was, "Since you took over, I feel like I've gotten more done with so much less stress and extra hours. Until you came in, I didn't believe that we could really have work-life-balance and be MORE productive and now I know we can."

Having been in companies where my approach has been called everything from "lazy" to outright "damaging," this feedback was both rewarding and validating.

Edit: For those who are in jobs where you're putting in those long hours, I can tell you there are managers out there who believe in the message here. I have three of them working for me right now and I constantly reinforce the philosophy of working sustainably. Don't settle for less than a manager who respects you the person--not just you the engineer!
Better formatting and at least one less typo http://phrack.org/issues/7/3.html
Also, the article kept mentioning the 90K salary number -- not sure why the article presented such great prospects and had a doom-and-gloom outlook for the people. To me it looked like the people profiled in the article seemed to have varied, fulfilling lives....maybe I am not getting something.

Dude, that is an idiotic comparison. The world's richest nation conspires with Saudis and others in the region to change regime in Syria and in the process inadvertently (or covertly in the most twisted minds) fund ISIS, creating chaos in the Arab world, which the US, Britain, France (the colonial powers plus the new world superpower) have been doing for ages. You sound extremely arrogant if not ignorant.

Gen-Xer here. We were the first generation since the end of the labor movement to find out that we were infinitely replaceable resources through our college educated parents' regular rounds of layoffs.

I've heard there exists a dramatically better system but I think the technology got classified as secret many decades ago. One day it shall be declassified and we might see some very substantial progress in this area.
First off, you can pipe binary data around. Most tools just expect text.

Secondly, if you used DSV to parse PS, like you should, adding a new column to the end won't break anything. A fancier parser won't even break if you add to the middle, but that's usually not worth the effort to write.
Having spent a lot of time in Seattle I'm skeptical of the article; that being said, to my mind the big issue is housing costs, as I describe in "Do millennials have a future in Seattle? Do millennials have a future in any superstar cities?" (http://jakeseliger.com/2015/09/24/do-millennials-have-a-futu...). If you lower costs enough, a lot of other things become possible, and a lot of issues become less important (http://www.citylab.com/cityfixer/2016/08/poverty-reduction-c...).

When I last lived in Seattle full time, the city was a relative bargain and was known for being cool and fun yet affordable. But it hasn't built enough housing to keep up with demand, and while it does better than CA (http://www.vox.com/2015/12/23/10657690/seattle-housing-crisi...), it's still not good enough. That's the crux of the issue, and it's why so many people are moving to Texas: Houston, Dallas, and Austin all have relatively liberal building regimes, which means housing is not a perpetual crisis.
I am not american, could you explain why putting your money in a IRA/401k would be considered unethical? And what alternatives do you have?

I started buying from Angry Robot a while back because they sent me free DRM-free epubs to get me hooked on their authors. I've been buying from them ever since, and that's the only reason I discovered that Chuck Wendig's books are amazing. Sure, I've got to pay in GBP instead of USD, but this is the internet and with digital delivery, that kind of stuff doesn't matter.

Unfortunately, everyone else discovered that Chuck was good, so he moved to a big publisher and I assume they required him to go with DRM. I can no longer find his books unencumbered.

tl;dr: There are great non-DRM publishers, and they might have great books. It is in our interest to support them.
Where are you working? My team works 40 hours max (never overtime over the 3 years I've been the lead). We make great money for the Midwest.
Oh also, you might want to see if anyone is consistently showing their ads on your placements through the networks. You can reach out to them to see if they're interested in a direct buy. It could turn out great if the advertiser has truly found a match for your audience and the only problem is getting more clicks. By cutting out the noise (a.k.a. all of the other advertisers who don't know the true value of your traffic) you'll increase your effective EPC, so you'd be able to demand more for a week/month long placement than you currently get from networks while keeping the advertiser profitable as well.
> The thread goes on at length about bureaucratic requirements for the change.

I don't like the characterization of the RFC process as a bureaucracy. RFC processes are more open than a pure "bazaar". In the lack of any formal, open process to make project changes, there ends up being a hidden informal "be friends with this person to get your patch merged" process, which is far less transparent.
Using your reasoning, only a small subset of people are genuinely affected by the Section 1201 implications - security researchers in particular. Again, you also in some ways prove my point by mentioning that DRM work-arounds are nearly a daily occurrence in certain arenas. My essay argues - vehemently - that academic exemption that passes the Four Factor Fair Use test absolutely deserves to be codified into the Section 1201 going forward. This is not hard to understand.

What you are missing, which is extremely important, is that Copyright is a synthetic construct and therefore absolutely useless without any protectionist mechanism. AKA "the right to make copies" - DRM is just that - a mechanism to protect the right of the originator to, under Copyright law, retain power over the "Intellectual Property." I believe it's counter-productive, or maybe even logically dishonest, to claim that destroying DRM isn't extremely intertwined with Copyright as we know it.
I got it from Unix’s haters handbook.
From what I've listened to in the past fifteen years, dealing with Canadian colleagues and their humor. I think this is fair.
Just a few days ago I read an article or blog entry - which I may even have found through a comment on HN? - where a successful important person described the reunions with the people he had studied with over 20 years.

At first everybody was so amazingly successful, great wife, then great kids, all doing very well, financially too. But after 10 years with each reunion less and less people showed up. Those who were missing had no wife and family left and didn't want their old pals to know how their personal lives had faltered.

You only mention careers...? Please report overall long-term life success that includes the family :)

Also, since you mention finance, while they personally benefited, and their industry did too, what about the rest of society? Does the latest microsecond computer trading algorithm really benefit mankind overall?

So to summarize, the questions I have are about 1) individual success not just "career", "financial" and "short term", and 2) that individual success from the perspective of society.
Protections for renters are pretty strong in Vancouver, there's not much landlords can do to increase the rent faster than the cap. I don't really know what you mean by being an expert renter, certainly there are far fewer things you need to know about to avoid being burned than if you buy a property.

In the modern world I know of very few home owners who are in the market once. Most people have housing needs that change over time: marriage, kids, job changes (wanting a shorter commute), changes in financial situation. It's generally easier to adapt to those quickly as a renter.

Nowadays I tend to go for furnished rentals. I don't have any more desire to own most of the contents of housing than I do to own the property. That means moving is relatively low cost and effort if my housing needs change.
Yeah, I think there are two factors at play here. One is definitely the near-realtime worldwide media coverage.

But the other is the fact that the same events you hear about living on the other side of the world can affect your life almost as fast as the news spread. If you had just the media of today in a world of 500 years ago, you'd worry only about your nearest neighbour cities and countries. Today, living in Europe, I hear that bankers in the US fucked something up again big time, and I start to wonder if I'll have my job - or any food - next week. That's how the global economy is interconnected. I also worry I may one day wake up and find my city in flames, with the Marines giving us practical workshops on how to run a democracy right.

(And to not single out US here - I was scared shitless when the whole Russia/Ukraine thing started, because I was afraid my country will be next, and "next" here means "at any time, under 24 hours from when someone makes a decision".)
That sounds a lot like people that refused to get married until everyone could get married. That might explain 10% of their situation, but 90% was that they didn't want to get married. Saving is hard, and this is just a nice rationalization for their existing behavior.
"They're commonly started from bash" might be a better way of putting it. When you're running curl, you're not running bash; bash is suspended. But the program you use to start another program isn't really relevant here.

Sorry for nitpicking... people describing everything related to the UNIX command line as "bash" is a pet peeve of mine.
I think there's a level where this is true though - clarity of target, not issue.

When racism looked like Jim Crow, it was straightforward to say "repeal Jim Crow". Deciding on tactics was complicated, making it happen was hard, but there was a clear goal in mind. Taking on an issue like police accountability or pay inequity is much fuzzier - there's no law to change or villain to conquer.

None of which means there weren't fuzzy issues in the past, too. But I think the 'nostalgia' for the issues of the past is often for clear targets like suffrage and school integration.

It seems to me the problem is occurring as the "millennials" want to settle down in mid-life, buy a house, buy a car, have kids, and save for their college.

In short, the middle class baby boomer lifestyle seems completely out of reach for most in their twenties and thirties.

> The FSF is not opposed to copyright as a concept. You can argue over duration, but copyleft would not be possible if everything were in the public domain.

Without copyright, arguably copyleft would be unnecessary, since the whole purpose of copyleft is to prevent non-Free code from being built on Free code, and without copyright, everything would be Free.

(OTOH, given the GPLv3, maybe that's not correct in the FSFs view, since the GPLv3 implies that "Free" has a broader and industry-dependent definition that merely eliminating copyright-based limitations wouldn't satisfy, so maybe the FSF does need to be copyright maximalists to advance their idea of Freedom-compelled-by-copyleft-license.)
Because the requirements change depending on which one you're doing: quick shell automation isn't the same as the kind of automation you'd use perl/python for.
This seems like a nice compilation for introductory material in one place.

I still can't get over the term "data science", though. Not only is it ridiculously meaningless - what sort of science doesn't involve data, and how often would data be useful to something that isn't scientific at some level - its meaninglessness derives from the hyped buzzword trendiness that drove its upswing.

I say this as someone whose expertise is really sitting at the nexus of what would be considered data science. I feel as if I have been doing what might be considered data science for a long time, before there was a label for it, but watching its ascendance in demand and popularity has been troubling. I should be happy, but I feel like it's being driven by fashion rather than fundamentals, which makes me worried about the trajectory going forward, and disturbed by some communities being thrown under the bus.
