I know right.

One company I worked for it would take literally 6 months for the internal IT organization to provision a VM and configure it to the state that it was actually usable, and they would chargeback hundreds of dollars a month for it. Physical/dedicated hardware you would need to set the wheels in motion 12-18 months in advance of when you needed it.

That IT department, I still know people there, is currently flailing desperately for a solution to the problem of the business having discovered how quick it is to provision on AWS and what it costs there, even tho' it "looks" expensive it is still a massive saving compared to the fully loaded cost of many large company's IT departments. And even if it takes an hour to spin up an instance, that is still an unbelievable miracle to people who were used to the old way. Questions are being asked for which there are no easy answers...
I'm finding I could have bought 90 percent of the music I've listened to on Spotify 3x over had I just bought the CDs and not used spotify. (not giving up spotify, it's just too nice for finding good music)
If it's not my own code, it's worth being a library.

And I don't want to spend my time learning to write it correctly to handle all case and be performant.
Having consulted to hundreds of businesses over the past 30 years, including several family businesses, I agree with you to a certain point. However a couple of the most successful businesses I have worked with have had family members in upper management too.

The key takeaway for me is like any business partnership - if the direct stakeholders are all aware of their roles and responsibilities, and have a good grasp of their relative strengths and weaknesses, then it all work well.

However, if there are family members in there who are just along for the free ride or are only interesting in padding their nests or building a mini empire, then it all goes pear shaped and toxic very quickly.

Biggest problem I've seen with family run businesses is the generational change over. The next generation of new blood rarely want to run with the 'old way' and tend to make changes for the sake of change, and do it with little experience of how to recognise/prevent things going off the rails.
I also agree about Google apps being a good choice in a self serve tier; custom LDAP is more a true enterprise feature. You might be able to put some limits into the self serve Google apps version, too. I'd just like a user with small numbers of users to be able to sign up directly and use the product. (I've been a fan of the product for a while and will probably contact you in a month for enterprise)
Reading the document as a whole it becomes clear that you're not going to get rules that are hard, fast, and legalistic. They are trying to set a tone, a balance between the different forces that pull on a company and culture. If you're expected, or needing, black and white rules, this isn't the place for you.

For some programmers, accustomed to a world of clearly defined languages and semantics[0], this can be hard.

I've been using GitHub code search to let other Python programmers know about the % string formatter.

Quote: "those who would seek to pirate my security content are probably more likely to do evil things with it "

Everytime I see this indoctrination, i can't help but to set the record straight.

People who commit "Piracy", or te be more precise: Copyright infringement, because "Piracy" actually means large scale infringement with a commercial motive; are NOT more or less "moral" or "ethical" than people who do not commit copyright infringement. ( And strictly speaking, they almost don't exist. )

This is also why mindsets that can be portrait as "Why don't we just give the consumer what it wants? " actually works in practice, not just in theory.
Look at the succes of Spotify & Netflix for example.

"Piracy" is about convenience and market failure. It's not about money and certainly not about immoral people or ethical superiority.( But it sometimes IS about rentseeking. )

Even if you disagree with this statement and think that "Because Money" , you should not only look up what a freeloader problem is; but also what deadweight loss in economics means as this effectively means that copyrightholders are stealing welfare and money from everyone, if you'd interpret the concept with the hardline type of thinking often associated with "Anti Piracy" type of people.
While this is technically fine, the process strikes me as unnecessary. I suppose that's not too surprising for somebody new to the area and mostly experiencing it from scary anecdotes.

The list of "San Francisco" neighborhoods being searched are almost all more than 1.2 miles from BART. I'm sure it's hard to find an apartment if you have a robot excluding nearly all listings.

FWIW, there's been an apartment vacant in my building for 2+ weeks, with very few open house attendees. Other nearby buildings are much the same. If you're willing to look slightly outside the most desirable neighborhoods, it isn't that hard to find an apartment. Affordable? Well that's another story; this is SF after all.

Another article about this family said they died of kidney failure not because of their harsh diet, but because of the reintroduction of salt [citation needed]. Similar but not as unavoidable. Then again they craved salt but it's plausible their body couldn't handle it.
The article makes some good points, and nobody likes constant interruptions and context switching. Especially in particularly complex parts of the coding process. I also agree that it often takes ~10 minutes after a significant distraction to get back into things.

I think non-programmers could definitely benefit from this article. But I also think it's a two way street and there are certain steps you can take to minimize the damage done. Some things I at least try to do:

- This may not go over well at everyone's companies, but just being honest with your coworkers sometimes. Send a message or email indicating you need to put your head down for a while to address priority tasks, and that you'll be logging out of Slack/IRC/whatever and can be contacted by email if anything urgent comes up. A healthy work environment should allow for it.

- If headphones on is a 'signal' to others not to bother you, just politely mention it to them if they keep interrupting you during. Invite them to email you with any non-critical issues and you'll get back to them when your higher priority work is done.

- Getting knocked out of the "zone" and it taking 15 minutes to get back... this definitely happens. But most meetings are scheduled. If your coworkers know your signal not to be bothered unless it's important, you can then work around the scheduled meetings. Do the less complicated coding tasks if possible leading up to the meeting so you don't need so long to get back in the zone after. If that isn't happening, at least keep a text editor open and jot down some notes to remind you of where your thought process was. A checklist is even better.

- Use bookmarks. A lot of editors / IDEs have them, and if you bookmark all the areas of interest, if you do actually have come back and 'get back in the zone' without notes, you can at least hop around the pertinent areas quickly to regain context.

Anyway, just some thoughts on what's helped me at least reduce that issue. I'm not sure it can completely go away.
If Z3 is on here, I just want to mention Triton ( http://triton.quarkslab.com/ ) which is a master thesis project from a French (?) person and Pin from Intel ( https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/pin-a-dynamic-bina... ). With Triton and Pin you can instrument binary software and gather SMT formulas. It basically allows you to know about the binary SMT style.

I had to use it in a practical lab to figure out the input of some hashing function (that would almost always hash to 0). By knowing all the constraints, solving it to know what the input should be becomes quite easy (at least easy compared to brute force).

It's funny how those authors get defensive when someone duplicates their work. Yet at the same time most of them demand from developers to release their software as free (both beer and freedom - but it's mostly about the beer) open source and shame devs when they try to go the commercial route.

But I guess babbling into a camera for a few hours if far more protection-worthy than months of programming. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

301 Redirects: The Horror That Cannot Be Uncached
When learning MIPS, the lessons I followed recommended something similar to this. We didn't look at the compiled assembly but used C as a form of pseudocode for assembly. It was a valuable experience - especially the illumination on how close to the machine C is whilst looking much higher level to me before that.

I tested to see if writing the code first in Scheme or CL offered the same benefits. It did not - it was far easier to translate solutions from C to assembly. My only guess is that a lot of work in C is similar to what I had to do in assembly, where in Scheme there isn't such things. So C only took away handling the stack for procedures and what not, where as scheme took away that and the rest of what I would need to do in assembly. Long story short, the solution in C was closer to assembly than the solution in scheme.

It seems that Udemy doesn't give automatic refunds to ripped off customers either. I unknowingly bought Troy's pirated course on Udemy (for between 10-20 money units during a sale period) and hadn't yet got round to starting it. If you follow the link he gave :https://www.udemy.com/draft/671248/ you find you have to do the work. This is what you get:

'The course: Learn Ethical Hacking: Hack Web Applications has been removed from the Udemy platform. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have already purchased this course, please log in to your Udemy account and contact Support.'
Couldn't satellites do this during the cold war? What's different?
It seems to me that digital piracy has different qualities. Making a copy without permission is stealing. Distributing copies without permission, but for free isn't as bad as actually reselling them without permission, or is it? The same laws apply here as to thievery and acceptance of stolen goods. Those laws exist since millennia. It's not only illegal to sell stolen goods, it's also illegal to buy them, with no regard of circumstances. I learned from my parents to watch out for shady characters at market places. But the problem at Udemy seems that even they can't check whether resellers and their posts are genuine. Is that an unintentional aid for acceptance of stolen goods, due to lack of controls, or... intentional aid of acceptance of stolen goods to aid the business idea of Udemy, being an "open platform for education"?

Would it make sense to spin up a bunch of instances and then stop them, then manage your own autoscaling by just starting/stopping rather than launching/terminating? What's the downside there? You only pay for EBS storage, which is a tiny fraction of compute costs.
I always see startups looking for experienced people as a company started by a couple of non-programmers, desperately seeking someone to make their products for them. It sounds like they'll be worked to death and expected to work long hours while the founder makes fluffy posts on hackernews :P

Interesting:

> The continued decline in total installed cost is noteworthy considering the fact that the price of the solar panels (or modules) themselves has remained relatively flat since 2012. This means that the decline in installed cost observed since 2012 was largely caused by a decline in the cost of the inverters that convert the DC power produced by solar panels to AC power for the grid and other “soft” costs such as customer acquisition, system design, installation, and permitting.
>It will be an optional data field to request social media identifiers to be used for vetting purposes, as well as applicant contact information.

I wonder, how many years (centuries) might have gone into inventing, discovering and perfecting even this "primitive" technology.

Not to undermine his efforts, but this guy could do all this "so fast" mostly because he is working in a rather comfortable and secure environment of modern and more civilized times, whereas the real primitives had to look out for predators (lions, tigers, etc), for other human attackers and so on.

Kudos to this guy and more kudos to all those anonymous primitive hackers who created such an incredible technology.

Lesson to take: I should stop complaining about those little inconveniences and discomforts I encounter in my modern life.
The proposed change is optional, not required.

The title is misleading.

Their 2014 Christmas stock apparently arrived late due to a Foxconn screw-up, meaning that Christmas shoppers couldn't buy it and they were left with a bunch of excess stock and a shortage of cash. I can easily see that alone being enough to mortally wound them; they probably do a large chunk of their business over Christmas. The deep sales seem to be a last-ditch desperation measure in response to that.

Hi!

Routing is working with links and history buttons. It is the limitation of the nested examples, not the framework (history buttons do work in the examples though.) The problem is that I have to fetch the current example code from the main page on every reload, which I do not do yet.

Links are working perfectly fine in real world situations (non example iframe). I will improve the example iframes to work with links too.

Thanks for the feedback! (You can see more router info here: http://nx-nxframework.rhcloud.com/docs/spa/router)

Edit: to see the router in action with links just try some links to the home page, like this: http://nx-nxframework.rhcloud.com/docs/spa/analytics. It uses the NX router.
Never, there are better alternatives and especially FOSS. For windows, PSPP is there to make your life easier. If you are a spreadsheet guy Libreoffice will make you never turn back to excel and can be programmed in StarBasic. R is amazing, but if you do not want to invest Scilab and Octave are there. if you are the freeware proprietary guy Google Sheets, WPS Office or FreeOffice are better alternatives than Excel. And if you have a good PC, why not give the FOSS giac/xcas a try, you may find your sanity.
"Why did you not fill in this field Mr. Smith?" "Well, it's optional, I didn't think..." "So what do you have to hide, Mr. Smith? Did you perhaps think we will find something illegal?"

When something is "optional" but it's there so that if provided the DHS can get visibility to "possible nefarious activity and connections", how likely is it that they will start seeing failure to provide it as a sign that you need to be investigated more closely?

Centralized Bitcoin security effectively amounts to preying that you never get hacked because if you do -- there is still no way to limit what can be done with your private keys (and this is true regardless of whether the key is stored inside a hardware module or not.) The document here correctly notes that their security model amounts to little more than security through obscurity and further points out that their multi-sig signing is still at risk of collusion, mishandling of keys, blackmail, theft, and any number of unforeseen things.

With no concrete way to prevent a hack and no insurance if one were to happen -- I can only see this ending badly -- and quite frankly, given how little thought they've put into security I'm quite alarmed. Effectively, everything they've put forward to protect these Bitcoins has been known to be inadequate since 2012. We've seen that multi-sig was introduced and it still didn't help. We've also seen that multi-sig and hardware modules haven't been enough to prevent every inside job, hack, or scam.

In my view the only concrete way to handle Bitcoins as an exchange is to extend Bitcoin to allow coins to be locked up into a special clearing phase. You would have it so that coins could be spent after N confirmations but before then they could be transfered to a fail-safe address. This isn't my idea but its a simplification of what Emin Gün Sirer proposed with his Bitcoin vault idea (though I did think of something similar in the past.)

Because honestly, you can never, ever rely on fully preventing these hacks as the basis for a solid security model. Hacks. Are. Going. To. Happen. Regardless of how many walls you decide to build. Thus, the only effective security model for doing high-risk crypto-finance is to do something that offers us a plan B when they do. And that's what Bitcoin vaults are for -- they allow us to cancel / revoke coins during a clearing phase without breaking Bitcoins irrevocable nature (since you only treat coins as final after +6~ confirmations after the clearing phase.)

The simple truth of the matter is -- Bitcoin in its current form is inadequate for services like centralized exchanges (as evidence by numerous hacks) and the only reason why people continue to do business under this scenario is for opportunistic profit. If any of these companies really gave a shit about security there is absolutely no way they would continue to run a financial service with NO WAY to cancel fraudulent transactions. I consider this a pretty basic corner-stone of modern banking and as long as it can't be done in Bitcoin, EVERY wallet, Bitcoin exchange, and store that's handling Bitcoins is just waiting to be fucked.
Odds are they are just testing the waters.

I generally agree with the statement that "piracy" is usually about market failure, but it seems to be pretty clearly about money here. Someone stole and edited that content and was subsequently selling it elsewhere...
That'd presumably be more suspicious.

Which makes me think that it'll end up leading to a lot of hassle for a lot of asocial people. E.g. my Facebook account only gets logged into 1-2 times a year. Would they believe it's my real one, or suspect I was doing what you're suggesting.

97 results is doable. And that's what you get for a scala search today. Which is maybe why the author picked it in the first place: there's a ton of other real-life scenarios as well, and for me more often than not the number of results ranges from a couple of hundred to half a million. The only sort of sane way to filter that for quality is specifying the number of forks but it's a bit of hit or miss sometimes. Now I know this is a hard problem to solve so Im not really blaming github but maybe they should try to come up with something. Oh and this also illustrates the 'goldmine' term is spot on: yes its gold but you have to dig really hard sometimes.

> how likely is it that they will start seeing failure to provide it as a sign that you need to be investigated more closely?

The rationale that I've gathered from this is that they're going to investigate you anyways by trying to find your social media profiles, etc. This is a long process, so to make the process quicker you can opt-in your social media handles.

In other words, it's already happening, but has a lot of inconveniences.

Not saying this is right or wrong, but it's just from what I've gathered.

It has zero measurable impact because anyone who counts will make sure their social media profile is either sterile or doesn't exist. Only an idiot would be a member of ISIS or Al Queda on Facebook.
