Liquid O2 aka oxygen is a common and cryogenic oxidizer. Loading cold liquid fuels also has benefits like lower volume, but few things stay liquid at cryogenic temperatures.

PS: When dealing with rockets oxidizer is also a fuel because they need both it and something to burn.

Nicotine is a nootropic

no signs that it causes cancer

Its a hard connection to prove, but all smoke contains chemicals that are known to cause cancer. Eaten cannabis probably isn't carcinogenic, but smoked probably is. Few cannabis smokers inhale nearly as much smoke as tobacco smokers. Also, tobacco is a nightshade and toxic if eaten, so maybe that has something to with it being more damaging when smoked.
It's not a very good cheat sheet. I recommend something like https://emacswiki.org./emacs/MovingTheCtrlKey instead. Whilst that has its share of problems, such as getting Linux and NetBSD mixed up, it's better.

It's actually a bad idea to stick a loadkeys command in /etc/rc.local, since that's a system that van Smoorenburg rc itself superseded, back in the 1990s. It's between 2 and 4 init/rc system overhauls in the past, at this point. It also has no guaranteed ordering relative to native mechanisms; and on many systems there are native services that configure the kernel's terminal emulator.

And /etc/rc.conf.local is a configuration settings file that largely hasn't been around on Linux operating systems since those pre-van Smoorenburg rc days. (BSDs retain /etc/rc.conf.local . Some of them actually have a strict rule about not putting anything other than a map of name=value settings in there, though.)

On Linux operating systems, the kernel's terminal emulator's configuration hasn't been done by explicitly writing a loadkeys command for almost as long.

* /etc/default/keyboard has been the Debian mechanism since roughly the turn of the century, and one has to work out what XKBLAYOUT, XKBVARIANT, and XKBOPTIONS combination means "swap capslock and control". The Debian people designed it to do both the kernel's terminal emulator and X11 in one. So one probably uses XKBOPTIONS='ctrl:swapcaps' and ignores what you wrote about X11 entirely. (-:

* The vanilla systemd mechanism is /etc/vconsole.conf , which doesn't have the internally complex Debian approach of trying to have the kernel terminal emulator and X11 configured in lockstep, and the variable to change is named KEYMAP .

On FreeBSD/PC-BSD one just sets the keymap variable in /etc/rc.conf . Out of the box, FreeBSD/PC-BSD only comes with a few keymaps that swap capslock and control, and their names aren't regular. So one will have keymap="uk.iso-ctrl" but also keymap="bg.bds.ctrlcaps" .

The nosh user-space terminal emulator uses FreeBSD/PC-BSD keymaps. But it supports overlaid keymaps. Using an overlay, the configuration import subsystem makes both a vanilla (.kbdmap) and a swap-capslock-and-control (.capsctrl.kbdmap) compiled keyboard map from each of the FreeBSD/PC-BSD keymap source files.
How to Break the Tyranny of Work/Life Balance
You're right, it works under 1.7. But not under 1.8: I get an "Unsupported binding form" exception.

A bit of digging suggests it was an unwanted side effect of allowing destructuring of name-spaced keywords in maps, introduced in 1.5:

> CLJ-1318 ("Support destructuring maps with namespaced keywords") introduced two potentially undesired behaviours:

> [snip]

> 2. Keywords were allowed in any binding key positions. Keywords are converted to symbols (retaining namespace) and treated according to the rules of symbols in the rest of the destructuring logic. From what I understand the idea was to allow keywords only in map destructuring, but again the change change was effected for any binding key.

-- http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1778

1.8 removed keyword-first destructuring forms for vectors.

I don't have direct experience to answer your question, but I think perhaps audits are part of the answer.

Really, you can go a long way by asking "who has access to the system storing the data", "what is the policy for granting and revoking that access", "what are the policies for handling the data (to avoid leaking it)"?

I've worked at big tech companies but never come across a customer credit card number because there are policies for handling that data and audits to make sure they are obeyed. I think basic checks will go a long way.

(Granted, you're talking about a situation in which a company would have an incentive to subvert the controls on data; that's not really the case for credit card data.)

In fairness, when did the government last lose a bird? Doesn't the ULA have a '100%' success rate (where success is getting payload to space, though some payloads fail to make it to the planned orbit)

Do you know how to add coloring to the man pages? I have tried: https://gist.github.com/boredzo/06271944983864da495d30363835... to no avail. I have played with all terminals, with more, with less, nothing affects the results.
Yes, have noticed that. Usually distros lag a fair bit in keeping up-to-date on common tools/utilities; I wish the popular ones like Ubuntu (Canonical) do better in keeping the LTS versions more updated.

You guys have also been doing a terrific job with the documentation. Awesome!
Linus has publicly said that he is very happy with having chosen GPLv2, he just doesn't like GPLv3 and doesn't like dealing with it through lawyers.

Copying my comment from reddit when this was discussed last week:

> As the thread linked shows though, Linus cares about the GPL for what it gains him not what it gains the user. The spirit of the FSF and the GPL is for the user, not the dev.

>He only cares about actions that lead to code getting back into the upstream kernel, whereas others(and the FSF) care primarily about people being able to view and modify the code they use and that is running on their devices.

>I'd argue he likes the GPL for what it gains him but isn't really a GPL/FSF advocate.

>Edit: It is important to note that this is one of the core reasons Greg/Linus and the FSF/SFC disagree I think. Karen from the SFC had an IMO excellent response in that chain that matches my thoughts if you are curious.

Project Name: Brand New Congress Technology

Project Description: Brand New Congress is an initiative to primary most of the existing incumbents in Congress with a representative group of progressive people who all agree to enact an aggressive progressive platform once they are elected. You can learn more about our goals and what we're trying to do on https://brandnewcongress.org. The tech team at Brand New Congress works on a variety of tools that will help bring about the revolution, and we are currently focusing a lot on expanding our website and making it way more awesome.

What do you hope to build this month?
Our main focus this month is to create an awesome events portal like map.berniesanders.com v2.0 (https://github.com/BrandNewCongress/website/issues/98), update our dashboard to make it the central hub of where all our volunteers are looking everyday to see how BNC is doing (https://github.com/BrandNewCongress/dashboard), and updating our current sign up and donation flow (https://github.com/BrandNewCongress/website/issues/85). In general, we'd love to use these tasks as a way to find someone that would be willing to take on a leadership role and be able to commit a decent amount of time every week to keep our website updated and think up new ways to use our site/tech stack.

What kind of skills do you need?
Our projects are currently largely Javascript/React based. We're starting to play around with Apollo and GraphQL as our data layer, but don't worry if you don't already know about those technologies as they are pretty new and we'll teach you.

Link to your GitHub or somewhere else you'd like to onboard new contributors, like your project management software or chat room.

WalmartLabs | Portland, Oregon | iOS Engineer | Onsite - Relocation Expenses Provided | $100k-160k + bonus + stock

I'm an architect at WalmartLabs and am looking for a few good iOS engineers to help us build our iPhone app. If working at scale in a small, startup-like environment gets you out of bed in the morning, you'll probably enjoy this gig - we're one of the most downloaded apps of all time, and we serve tens of millions of users a month.

We have a nice office in the heart of downtown Portland, and serve up the usual Silicon Valley style benefits: flexible hours, four weeks of PTO plus holidays, 401k, health care, free drinks and snacks, etc. Salary is highly competitive with Bay Area salaries, and you'll get to live in Portland, which has considerably lower overhead. If you're a good fit, we'll make it work for you.

It looks like a simple issue that transformed into drama due to the attitudes on the lkml.

It is obvious that there will be cases that the GPL will have to be enforced. Was accepted by the other side in the end.

The SFLC will only undertake a case if they have the support of copyright owners, not on their own volition.
Haven't thought that far. My goal right now is to have financial security so that I can live a comfortable life and never worry about money(reasonable spending of course). I think one should have a 10 year plan. Now I have two directions. Continue with a job or do a startup. just try to weigh the pros and cons.

Ok, thanks for mentioning it. I'm getting the impression that almost all DWF entries in the end get a CVE number? Looking on this page:

https://github.com/distributedweaknessfiling/DWF-Database/bl...

, I don't see any entry without a CVE number (except for some at the top, but they're in some 'REPLACED' status).

I'll probably skip this source, at least initially — seems a bit much work, to somehow analyze the DWF files, in order to find only a small (?) number of additional vulns.
SEEKING WORK - London UK or remote. NO RECRUITMENT AGENCIES.

I'm a senior/lead DevOps with 15 years experience tuning & hosting web applications and I'm on the lookout for the next challenge.

I work closely with developers throughout the application lifecycle to build scalable and long-term robust architectures. Load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent work includes:

+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large, distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Worked closely with developers to ensure services were the best possible fit for containerized hosting, resulting in a very scalable application that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Multiple stacks namespaced onto same k8s cluster for efficiency; containerization of all services; automated deploys from CI. Persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper.

+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice-based web app taking millions of pounds per month in payments.

+ Chef-managed deployment of large microservice stack across varied configurations on cloud and physical servers

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Didn't get rich, still posting on the HN freelancer thread.

+ Jenkins + docker-compose platform for efficient builds of microservice-based projects

+ Lots, lots more.

> [tobacco's] virtues rarely get a hearing, and yet the latter are many and great. To quiet nervous rest; to soothe a ruffled temper; to favour calm and partial thought; to steady and clear (not to cloud) a confused, overworked brain; to counteract the effects of physical exhaustion

Taking this at face value, I wonder what impact such a drug could have on the productivity of a workforce, especially programmers.

I also wonder what has replaced it as the fraction of the smoking population declined over the last four or five decades.
I agree it may not when compared to a top school for MBA or Computer Science. Still it opens more opportunity such as consulting in Big 3 or your boss has more contacts in pharma industry so there is a chance you will get some entry level opportunity in big pharma or biotech startups. But if you are from a middle tier state univ where you boss do research on "sleeping habit of frog or pink fluffly bunnies" then you are out of luck.

As mentioned in the linked email thread, the kernel developers working with Conservancy do not typically assign their copyright to Conservancy, and do not cede their decision-making authority over legal matters to Conservancy.

(Also, they go by "Conservancy" or "Software Freedom Conservancy", not "SFC", to avoid acronym confusion.)

Some developers on various projects (including the kernel) have voluntarily signed over copyrights to Conservancy for various reasons, but their GPL compliance project does not require that.
True about the serfdom, but the students aren't necessarily delusional.

The US takes 1.2 million immigrants a year, but it is extremely difficult to gain admission as a random applicant without family connections.

One possible way for in is graduate degrees in STEM fields. There are various work visa programs that are far easier to access through STEM graduate school in the US. You can get here on a student visa, gain some connections, interview on campus, and perhaps get a work visa through a tech employer - and this is easier with a grad degree, as those degrees grant certain exemptions from visa caps. If you remain in the good graces of your employer or university, you may eventually qualify for a green card.

It's a slog, but keep in mind, we're not talking about people with freedom of choice here. It might be more rational to sell real estate, open a sandwich shop, or become a dental hygienist if you were allowed to do so legally without fear of deportation.

But if your options are very limited due to visa and immigration restrictions? Sure, it can be highly rational to pursue a graduate degree in a narrow subsection of STEM fields. Unfortunately, as long as universities have this power, they probably won't have much incentive to make the degrees rational for people with the freedom to choose their careers.
