I want to know more about what I am going to do on a day-to-day basis. The last job I quit was because I spent about three days a months writing uptime reports and incident descriptions in Microsoft Excel and Word. And about five days per month on manual testing (clicking through the web-interface to see if everything was still in place). I'm a specialized back-end developer, hire a (way cheaper) document writer and tester for that.

Had they told me what I was going to do beforehand I would've declined the job and that would have spared them a lot of money on onboarding and orientation.

O’Neil also proposes updating existing civic rights oriented legislation to make it clear that it encompasses computerized algorithms.

It’s time to stop pretending that people wielding the most numbers necessarily have the right answers.
I feel like the people who excel after coding bootcamps would have excelled without them. Self starting, picking things up quickly, and looking for a good deal aren't bad traits to have in general.

The networking related services (Flannel) weren't waiting for the network to be available - I think I needed to configure one of the meta units that is meant to help block until network is ready.

Now that there is Azure cloudprovider support in Kubernetes, there's no need for Flannel, so it's possible that this could be made to work...

I ditched NixOS ~4 months ago; I think I had some patches on top of nixpkgs for updating Kube/flannel/etc, and then I have a branch of `nixops` that has the Kubernetes example.

Might be a fun project to pick back up some weekend...

I had a whole bunch of commits on top of nixpkgs, updating Flannel/Kubernetes and fixing up the Kubernetes module: https://github.com/colemickens/nixpkgs/commits/cmpkgs

And then on nixops, a branch that adds in the Kubernetes example. Keep in mind that it doesn't quite work right, and things are possibly broken since my nixpkgs fork is so stale at this point. https://github.com/colemickens/nixops/commit/9e97fd4166e7062...

I understand where you're coming from. It's a form of confirmation bias. But for me as long as it works for me I'm fine with it. Scientific results be damned. Science serves man, not the other way around.
And this is a big problem with reading too much into the original result or the replication:

They're not measuring forcing yourself to smile for yourself, or even forcing yourself to smile for someone else.

They're measuring being tricked into shaping your mouth like a smile without being aware that you're doing it.

That may be interesting and and of itself, but whether or not intentionally forcing a smile has an effect is an entirely separate question.

In my case, after graduating I was 43k in debt and at 7% interest. I had to consolidate because if you don't you end up with 14 loans and having to pay around 1500 / month. Which is impossible for most new grads. You don't have to pay if your income is low after graduation by opting into "loan forbearance". However, this is a death trap as well as the loan continues to accrue interest! Needless to say, young dumb me didn't know any better until it hit 50k...

TBH, I can't really blame ImageMagick devs too much for this. They're not making an image editing suite for web-facing services with access to sensitive user data. They're making an image editing suite for the Linux command line, which web devs happen to use on user-submitted images with absolutely no sanitization. The latter part of the sentence is the problem.

Adding to that, ImageMagick had it's first release in 1990! That's half a decade before the first release of Apache. It's no surprise some of the code in ImageMagick make it unfit for unfiltered use in web apps, when it was written before graphics-capable webservers, even graphics-capable browsers, were a thing.

What we really need is for someone to write a security-focused universal wrapper, that plugs straight into existing frameworks, so everyone can get the benefit of best-practices, and can report vulns and get them secured quickly.

So really, blaming ImageMagick is not that far from blaming Python for having vulnerabilities if you run a Django app taking unsanitized form input and doing subprocess.Popen() with it.

(That's not to say the "imagetragick" folks are wrong for alerting the community, using that moniker to increase awareness.)

I'd suggest, even if you think a document writer and tester is way cheaper, you're probably not charging enough for your time. I've always found an inflated rate a very effective way of avoiding tedious work.
Disclaimer - I co-founded a Cloud Foundry consultancy.

There are numerous folks running open source Cloud Foundry in production. Most I can't name for confidentiality reasons, but the Comic Relief payments system runs on open source CF on a variety of infrastructures.

Once you've got open source Cloud Foundry deployed and managed with Bosh, and you're using Concourse to update it, you should have a reasonably easy time. Numerous governments deploy open source Cloud Foundry this way (UK, USA, Australia, with several others evaluating it currently).

You can run Docker containers on Cloud Foundry's Diego runtime. We normally encourage apps as a unit of deployment currency for a number of reasons (easier auditing, allowing developers to focus on code rather than setting up images), but Diego is battle-tested. Under the hood both apps and Docker containers are run the same way, so you don't need to worry about the Docker stuff being treated differently.

I've not heard great things about OpenStack. I know people who have run very large Cloud Foundry installations on OpenStack, and had production issues with OpenStack network drives, amongst other things. From the anecdotal evidence of people I've spoken to, you're more likely to have problems with OpenStack than with Cloud Foundry.

Commission says Ireland granted undue tax benefits of up to €13B to Apple
They serve the hash over https, so they are better than most: the provenance of the download is verifiable assuming that the server serving the hash hasn't been compromised.

Whether a GPG signature would be better depends on whether the user has a meaningful way (other than https!) of gaining confidence of the key being the genuine key.

The response from the person claiming on rasp pi is more worrying than the situation being complained about, though.

At one company we were reviewing the interview questions we used for graduates, and we had to take one out about a hypothetical factory manufacturing widgets. It was actually a simple maths problem about widgets per hour given various inputs. But the grads would freak out at the word "widget" and derail the interview demanding an explanation of what exactly a widget was, what it was used for, etc etc. I personally thought that that was an excellent filter actually, but I was overruled...

So, my personal ability to rephrase the sentence is attacked, the pretense that there would be no alternatives is kept and my idea is dismissed as petty. That's just as expected.

Note that the above sentence is written in the objective way that I mentioned before. There is no way a third person singular gendered pronoun could creep in there, even if I was talking about you in the third person.

Unless Franklin was a transfinite gender fluid with multiple personalities, the use of they would be wrong there, according to the article you linked.

I went to DeVry. It was good. I was motivated, got through it with good grades, and had three job offers waiting for me when I graduated. Everyone in my class who graduated had at least one offer. Employers knew the reputation of the school which is why there were so many present on interview day and every graduate was offered a job. That was quite a few years ago so maybe things have changed, I don't know.
If you have something that works for you, great. But don't confuse that with the actual question the study is trying to ask, which is knowledge about how emotions work. The result doesn't tell you what to do, but it's irrelevant to what you do. Don't damn it, just leave it to the people that are interested in that question for other reasons.

Good. Read how Tim Cook publicly considers Nobel economist Joeseph Stiglitz as a one who do not know what he (Stiglitz) is talking about. Eye opening.

Q: What do you say in response to Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz’s comments on Bloomberg [television], where he called Apple’s profit reporting in Ireland a “fraud”?

Tim Cooks answer: I didn’t hear it. But if anybody said that, they don’t know what they’re talking about. [...]

I don't think such clocks are that expensive. A quick search shows several companies offering them ready to go. I'd guess that even relative to the engineering time involved, the cost of the clocks was irrelevant.

GPS NTP servers start at $1000, but I dunno how much that delivers. The actual GPS signal is probably accurate enough, but the rest of the hardware chain on a $1000 box might not be <1ms. Google might have also wanted a backup in case antennas are disturbed or GPS signal somehow interrupted?

But even then - just because Google chose 7ms doesn't mean everyone else has to. Drop a GPS NTP master at each site and live with that? I wouldn't imagine it'd get much worse than 10-20ms?

I don't really know a whole lot about this though.

Agree. Happiness is such a spur of the moment thing anyway. Like all emotions it comes and go.
You're right, I stand corrected. The technique is still simple, the way they get the data is not so transparent to the user.
Conversely, what if the numbers are unbias and we are in fact the bias ones. What if, for example, Irish Americans are actually more prone to purchase Guinness beer because we feel that it has a slightly higher alcohol content then all those other beers?

Tongue and cheek response, but "wielding numbers"? Politicians don't misuse statistics to get what they want, people misuse statistics to get what we want. We shouldn't ban statistics and we shouldn't ignore the fact that both "sides" are equally susceptible.

I have to agree with this. The concept is sound for sure, but all.. that.. wood... He's adding so much extra weight (and thus lowering his average mpg etc.), when a type of plastic (the slightly bendy stuff that cooking/food storage tubs are made of) would have been good enough, and also much lighter. The drawers under the bed especially - those in my opinion should be either wireframe and canvas, or based around prebuilt plastic storage.

I also think he wasted space above the bed - there could be wall nets for smaller items, or even a drop down surface for cooking or day work.

Finally, he's assumed that the wiring will never fail or need updating - it's all now trapped behind the (many layers of) flooring or the wall panels. One fried cable, and he'll have to rip out all that 'nice' cabinet work.

I love the idea of kitting out a van and going mobile, but that interior is NOT how I'd do it.
EU orders Ireland to recoup up to €13bn in unpaid taxes from Apple

I think your last paragraph is overstating things a little. If you're providing hosting for other 'random' clients who upload their own plugins, sure, you need to be wildly over-zealous.

I, and probably many others, provide hosting for a few wordpress sites that we admin, and a client has only editor access to.

The way I've got it set up is:

- nginx running as nginx:nginx, handling static files, and passing on to PHP-fpm only for non-upload directories.
- each site directory is owned by $clientname:$clientgroup.
- php-fpm runs in each dir as $clientname-php:$clientgroup.

So wp-config.php, etc. configuration stuff is readable only by the group, and only writable by the owner user.

The PHP running user can upload media, post new content, but cannot upload plugins, edit any other PHP files, change any site-level configuration, etc.

To upload plugins, or do updates, inside wordpress it asks the user each time for a FTP username/password, which it uses to create a local ftp connection in to the server, as $clientname, which can then write to the plugins directory.
FTP is only accessable from localhost, so there's nothing in plaintext on the wire.

Wordpress and plugin updates are done by WP-CLI hourly as a cronjob by the $clientname user.

Each site has its own database, user, and all that too.

All of this is set up by ansible, so it takes me about 3 commands to create a new site from scratch, or 5 to provision it onto a new server.

I've got reasonably defaults set up in php-fpm, so basedir, maxupload, restrictions, and all that. And as much as possible restrictions in place by nginx as well.

I'm working on automatic SSL certs from letsencrypt, which is working on some sites now, which beats the self-signed ones I had before (log-in only to wp-admin by SSL).

It seems relatively good for me. The sites are fast, cheap, and for my clients (small businesses, friends, family, church(s), etc), perfectly adequate.

I understand the full stack, and can keep the very cheap VPS running in less than an hour or so a month.

In the future, I hope that there is something more self-contained and easy to deploy, perhaps like caddy[1].

I'm not a huge fan of wordpress... but it's everywhere, and enough people have heard of it / can do stuff with it. The bus factor is a lot lower than many alternatives.
