I used to do this before switching to a password manager; the problem with pattern-based passwords is that while in paper it sounds better than password reuse (unique passwords for each site/service while still being able to remember them, yay!) in practice you are still using the same pattern for all of them. A potential smart adversary could figure out the pattern used and then apply it to every site/service much like if the password was reused. E.g., if your facebook password is "j0hnf4c3b00k83", an adversary could easily guess that you are using a site/service pattern, and that your google password is "j0hng00gl383".

Of course, the pattern doesn't have to be that simple, but even if it were incredibly complex, at the end of the day you are still relying on one single pattern for all your passwords.
Personally not so far, but Java 1.4, Websphere 6, JSF 2.0, .NET 4.0, XP support still are quite actual subjects.

Ask HN: Where can I learn about deploying production environments?
I've recently taken over the role of Technical Lead at a small startup and I've been put in charge of our server deployment.

I was wondering what the best resources are for learning about best practices for server deployments, security, redundancy and such.

I have a good background in all these things from my degree (I graduated from university a year ago), but I want to expand and improve my knowledge.
Comments like yours are very dangerous. They buy into the DARE framing of the dangers of drugs being death. But there are much more subtle dangers that get ignored when the discussion is framed this way.

And I say this as someone who went through a prolonged depression following ecstacy use in my early 20s. I stupidly evaluated the dangers of the drug and determined that the naysayers who were warning of possible death were full of shit and didn't think to consider the less severe negative consequences.
I think it's quite unlikely whoever took control of this managed to dump an entire database but couldn't access a password salt.

Do we know for sure these were "salted SHA"? It could well be "SHA1-HMAC through an HSM", and thus, actually be the stronger option.

Alternatively, someone has probably kept a lot of cracked passwords to themselves.
Yes, but there's some equivocation there. The meaning of 'dictator' isn't quite what you might think it is.

You forgot to add that it is also an incredibly valuable service for times like these that is totally free.

At this point I'd say signing up for notifications with it is just a solid security practice.
> It really seems like it makes sense that browsers really "need" the bloat; it has got to the point where it ends up being the most useful and most used application on any OS, for a given section of the end-user base, anyway.

Effectively the browser has in the GUI age become what the terminal emulator was in the CLI age.

On its own the browser do jack all. But it allows remote resources to present a local UI.

Thus my lowly desktop PC can become a virtual supercomputer.
This.

I think it's going to have to be legislated:

1. Mandate that all publicly disclosed passwords are collected in a compiled set.

2. Require that any Internet service vendor check against this set on password change revisions, and against different portions of the file, as maintainable, on each authentication.

Known passwords are rejected when set, and mandate changes when detected on login.

Asking a 76 year old mostly-computer-illiterate pereson to come up with a never-been-used-before password simply doesn't work.

This also means mandating password safes on all consumer-grade OSes. Apple already does, Microsoft and Android. For Linux, you might be semi- on your own, though most distros offer several options.

I'd also like to see 2FA via a keyfob generator rather than contact token (e.g., phone, email).

As a European who regularly hires people from outside the EU (including Americans), it always seemed to me that the American H1B Visas were deliberately designed to suppress wages.

Any other skilled migrant visa system I know of has a very explicit and fairly high wage minimum to prevent such abuse.

As a result, the stereotypical underpaid Indian engineer is a rarity in Europe. Indian engineers that do end up here are usually amongst the higher skilled and better paid workers.

Hell, it's even common for skilled migrants from outside the EU to get a higher starting salary than their local counterparts (especially those from poorer EU countries) just to meet the wage threshold.
Thanks for pointing this out!
Key disclosure and key loss are things.

The first makes your public key useless for security. The second locks you out of everything.

So you've still got to have patterns-of-fraudulent-use detection, and some sort of token-reset mechanism.

Persistent data encryption is another option, but that compounds the key-loss problem in that you cannot access earlier data.
Completely agreed.

The gram of paper is still mostly paper. Sure it could have varying amounts of actual acid on it, but still mostly paper.

Maybe they aren't drinking to get "out of their heads" but they will at least partially be drinking for the relaxation properties, or the social lubricant properties of the drink.

Yes, people enjoy the taste of these things, they have trained themselves to, usually because of the effects.

FYI not everyone using every other drug is trying to get "out of their head" either. A little cannabis or sedative use may be for relaxation. A little stimulant to stay awake and increase talkativeness and confidence. LSD does rather take people somewhere else though...

I have never given a 0% tip in the United States. If the service is that bad, get the manager, have them fired - but as long as they are working, they should be paid. Not tipping is equivalent to asking someone to work without salary. Tipping 10% is pretty damn aggressive, and the few times that I've done it, it's certainly gotten a reaction.

What people have to understand, is that a "Tip" in the United States for a server == Salary, not some nice additional money. It's how they pay their rent/buy their groceries/feed their children.
An alternative method with kids, is to have the youngest going under the table and say who is to receive the next slice of cake. Used that every year for the epiphany (Kings cake).

Folks go through depression after prolonged alcohol use as well, and likelwise use it to treat their own depression. But it is still legal. We tend to ignore a lot of subtle dangers of alcohol as well - or overemphasize them in some contexts.

Unfortunately, a lot of the context of illegal drugs is of the overemphasizing sort instead of normal, down-to-earth information taking good with the bad. Which leads to some things like your situation and stupid behavior.

Besides, it is really difficult to sort that depression stuff out. Pot and hash can induce panic attacks in a small portion of the population, but in general that only happens if they have a predisposition to it or if they have an untreated anxiety condition. And it seems to be the same sort of thing with other drugs - and I'm going to guess that it only happens with a small portion of users in reality, much like most folks don't get addicted to most drugs. I fully believe to get over that sort of hump, we not only need balanced and completely truthful information on drugs, but we also need to be able to have truthful and destigmatised discussion about mental health in addition to having facilities available to help folks out.
Nice work. :)

> Fizzbuzz is one of those problems where there's really no clever hidden golfy solution better than the plain old first-reaction naive approach: an iteration with if/elsif/elsif/else.

There is if you exploit that monoid homomorphisms exist from any monoidal type to both the Optional and Function types.

My favourite solution is this:

let (m ~> str) x = str <$ guard (x `mod` m == 0)
in map (fromMaybe . show <*> 3 ~> "fizz" <> 5 ~> "buzz") [1..100]

This is extensible because you can stick as many rules as you want in there, or even factor them out and make it a function

(m ~> str) x = str <$ guard (x `mod` m == 0)

fizzbuzz rules = map (fromMaybe . show <*> mconcat rules)

fizzbuzz [3 ~> "fizz", 5 ~> "buzz", 7 ~> "bazz"] [1..100]

Because you really like conflating politics with software?
Minus the legality issues, neither of these have shown to be any worse than some of the dangers of alcohol. Either can be bad for folks with severe mental illness of certain types. It probably isn't safe to drive on LSD, and you'd not really want to be too stoned (or drunk) to take care of your kids.

But this same sort of stuff is true for so many other things. If it were that bad, I'm pretty sure there would be many more problems in places like Amsterdam.
Such occurrences are perfectly commonplace in China. It's going to be a tougher environment for autonomous cars as the driving is much less restricted by adherence to any particular set of arbitrary rules and requires a lot more flexibility.

For people dependent on nicotine, check snus.

It is cheap to make yourself. Google "home made snus". There are Youtube videos.

It is not healthy -- still tobacco. You will be as dependent on this nicotine source as any other.

That said, the extra cancer risk is so small it is hard to measure. (You probably risk mouth cancer -- but the risk seems to be less than the mouth cancer risk from smoking.)

It won't destroy your lungs, it is common with sports people like ice hockey players in Sweden.

And so on.

Disclaimer: I only use snus when drinking, so once or twice a month. I am not dependent on nicotine and am scared to be -- it is a wonderful drug. My only dependencies are coffee and the Dark Souls series.
Life Cycle of a Mortgage
But my point is that it can be enjoyed solely for the taste - whether you like it or not, there is at least an element of flavour choice when it comes to alcohol. It's an exceptionally skewed view to totally dismiss the taste aspect - whereas I've yet to hear anyone mention that drugs can be taken for any other reason than for their (even if only slight) mind altering affects.

Plenty of people would pair a nice red with their pasta even if it had no other impact on their mental faculties, same with other drinks and food. I'm perplexed at such an unhealthy view of alcohol.

Not sharing the policy and not being secure are too different things. And ideally yes, you should be able to share it without increasing any risk, though real world tells us this is not the case. And not sharing this information is a more secure action then sharing it, even though there is no security through obscurity, there is certainly not security in telling people your credential storing policy on a public website.

It narrows down the interesting target(s) quite a bit for malicious script kiddy or hacker.

And regarding not knowing the company, you and quite a few others here, link quite a bit in your profile page, and leave a huge footprint on the internet with all sorts of information to use. So it's quite easy to make a profile of you, determine where you work, where you live, what you look like, and then knowing where your company stores the interesting bits... well its going to be a lot easier then going into something blind.

But what do i know, i'm not good at 'Hustling and exerting confidence.'

The thing is that alcohol is objectively more dangerous and more harmful than many/most illegal drugs.

It has both acute and chronic health effects, it's addictive and it causes (or at least facilitates) all sorts of social problems including a lot of violence. It kills its users and its users sometimes kill or hurt other people when under its influence.

It always amazes me how willing people are to overlook the evils of alcohol while highlighting the evils of other drugs.
Do you know if there is a trick to granting different passwords to different users using Keepass/WebKeePass?
In theory yes, although with caveats. You'd need to match the degree of anti-tamper measures currently present in POS terminals to all consumer devices.

In practice, it would mean replacing most of the world's user-facing computer infrastructure.
Scrum vs. Kanban vs. Scrumban – What’s the Difference?
Ah, yes, I'd forgotten about "yield".

To throw out some more numbers, the last I got for MIT, which was before a degree from it was perceived as being relatively more valuable in the Great Recession, it received 13,000 applications, 3,000 of which were judged capable of doing the work, and the admissions office aimed for a yield AKA class size of 1,100.
There's a very similar argument for dark chocolate - most children hate the taste, but as their palettes develop they acquire the taste for it. My parents introduced alcohol to us from a young age so that it was never a rebellious activity in later years - but since we're in the land of anecdotes again, my original opinion still holds: noone has ever argued they take drugs because they enjoy anything other than the mind altering effects, whereas there are plenty of people who enjoy alcohol for reasons other than those.
When I was at Microsoft (DevDiv) we used AD, Forefront Identity Manager and an internal webapp called RAMweb to request to join controlled groups.
