Well the current state of the art in security is using techniques from ML towards intelligent vulnerability detection and intrusion (if you're team red), as well as intelligent detection of intrusion (if you're team blue). These are much easier to understand if you've written a classifier before.

nginx-common (1.6.2-5+deb8u3) jessie-security; urgency=high

In order to secure nginx against privilege escalation attacks, we are
changing the way log file owners & permissions are handled so that www-data
is not allowed to symlink a logfile. /var/log/nginx is now owned by root:adm
and its permissions are changed to 0755. The package checks for such symlinks
on existing installations and informs the admin using debconf.

That unfortunately may come at a cost in terms of privacy. /var/log/nginx is
now world-readable, and nginx hardcodes permissions of non-existing logs to
0644. On systems running logrotate log files are private after the first
logrotate run, since the new log files are created with 0640 permissions.

So let's say you get laid off and you've got a year's worth of savings in the bank.

Spending the next six months burning half of that with nothing but memories to show for it is really terrible advice! That stash of money is a precious asset. It's the thing that will obviate the need for any special mental tricks to take job interviews without fear and negotiate salary and working conditions from a strong bargaining position.

I'm not saying you shouldn't spend six months in Thailand if that's what you want to do. But, unless you are already independently wealthy, only do it after you have arranged for some kind of income while you are there.

Question for anybody with 18F here... do many of your management personnel have experience with consulting (particularly on government projects) or are your hires primarily from product backgrounds?

I'm of the mind that this is about what I'd expect from people who are generally more concerned with less-tangibles like culture and product, but I don't really know if that's the general background of the personnel hired.

My suspicion is that if you looked at most agencies you'd see this same kind of apparent frivolity but in a way that makes it less easy to track. It also bears repeating that while some of the stories presented in the article are excessive, 18f has always seemed to me to be more aimed at being a force multiplier for other agencies rather than just boots on the ground. When I worked in government non-profit (of the IRS designation, that is!) we spent quite a bit of "non billable" time doing exactly that instead of providing services directly. Once I started consulting in the private sector though, the billable hour became much more important.

I couldn't honestly say because I haven't properly tested the battery life when I'm not stressing the device. But I can tell you that Windows 10 has a new "battery saver" mode akin to iOS 9's, and that I'm not worried about Apple telling my battery which holds less than 50% of its capacity a couple of years later despite half their guaranteed charge cycles will tell me "too bad" because - their guarantee aside - I didn't experience this behavior in the first year of owning the device. Even HP's 3 year "no questions asked" battery warranty aside, I can just buy a battery off of NewEgg and stick it in myself when this one kicks the bucket.

My contract job ended abruptly recently and I'm now in this very situation. I put $10k away for an emergency fund to carry me through until my next gig. No children (someday!), no mortage/debt, no obligations. It's great!

While I personally decided not to travel as I've done a lot of that in the past couple years, I have tried to just relax and enjoy the time off. I've been spending time learning new languages and frameworks, working out religiously, eating healthy, and just going with the flow of life. It's been great for my overall happiness.

There's a quote that comes to mind after reading this article: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
I rarely notice any fingerprints on my beautiful, high-resolution iPhone screen.

And I much prefer using a REAL computer with a REAL file system and REAL USB connectors for loading arbitrary data and organizing it into an arbitrary directory hierarchy and begin able to work on those files with any arbitrary combination of a REAL command line for extra powerful, customizable tools and REAL power GUI apps.

The multiple-degree-of-freedom stylus like the iPencil could give even more power to a real computer. Unfortunately, the thinking at Apple seems to be that if you want the power of a great stylus, you'll have to give up the real computer and use it on the toy OS that Apple seems to want us all to move to eventually.

Currently the only nonverbal cues I can really get across are hand/head movements(with cube avatars) but as far as achieving presence goes I find that to go a long way. Even without facial expressions or complicated hand gestures having that "physical" presence seems to make each session feel really concrete, and less like you're talking to someone through the ether. To make up for the loss of facial expressions I've found myself and others becoming more gestural when using the app, which may not be ideal, but the fact that you can adapt at all(and that it feels natural) sets it apart from 2D interfaces.
I think you're mostly comprehensive there. You missed out two things though: they care about their bonus, and secondly, how that bonus compares to their peers (which could be summarised as "their bonus").

> We'll still need some enforcement of the controls we put in place, though we can do it through other branches -likely something like a combination of the FDA, USDA, and the ATF. Lesser cost savings, but much better sort of spending.

Under a partial legalization regime, yes. Personally i'm thinking they should all be legalized, though. The drug shops can be self-funding by charging slightly above marginal cost.

> Furthermore, I'm definitely into having marked shops for some drugs. I think smoke shops/coffee shops (for pot and hash) would be an improvement to the culture and give some alternative to bars. I'm fine with some hallucinogens being sold in a marked shop - and anything else that proves to be about as safe. I'd also make sure anyone working in the shops - either marked or unmarked - had some training or have training levels - basic knowledge for cashier with more advanced knowledge person on premisis at all times.

Ya I agree. I'd like to see the 'less harmful' drugs, like marijuana and hallucinogens completely legalized. Like, you can buy them at 711 legalized. For 'harder' stuff like cocaine, meth, heroin, et al, i'd like to see them sold by the unmarked government-run drug shops that don't advertise or try to encourage consumption in any way. That feels like the best balance of interests.

Function key shortcuts have never been a significant Mac paradigm, and for good reason. Apple certainly would never put something OS-centric like 'close window' on a function key. They use contextually-relevant letter keys for shortcuts, and have been on a decades-long crusade to destroy the F-keys entirely. They haven't shipped a system with function keys that defaulted to function keys in 15 years; it's third-party software and the odd legacy text-based UI where you find them. The controls these are used for by typical users (volume, music, brightness) are not really things you need to be able to hit without looking, and exactly why I can see this succeeding on the Macbook where it was a frustration on the X1.
but OS X apps (unlike Windows ones), don't really use the function keys much.

I was confused by this headline even after I read the article, whose actual title is Leaked trademarks confirm we’re getting three new MacBooks this week: Who needs permission to sell a computer?

Ah, the original French article makes it clear: In Russia such permission must be granted by the authorities before sales may begin. A liberal reading of this English article allows one to conclude they meant the same thing, but they split it across two sentences, so the idea was muddled.

Personally, I think the HN headline should change to match that of the article.
Yes, but you need to bundle a JRE and the Scala library (~5 MB).
Nice work. I love that you included the pentatonic stuff first, actually. it's a great starting point for music. If I could change one thing, I would put the chromatic scale section more towards the end; I would teach it by starting like you did, but expanding pentatonic into diatonic, then harmony, and finally dealing with chromatic scale.
Even though I have a general sense, I always look to check, as I don't want to do something crazy, eg press alt+f4

How Linux Containers Work
I love the feel of the 15" rMBP (mine is sometime in 2013), though I don't think it's any different than earlier non-retinas, at least in key travel and size. The new low profile MacBook keyboards are almost unbearable to type on compared the nice feel of the current and Apple external keyboards.
It's very western-focused, especially when you describe the chromatic scale as "modern music".

I would also lose the "from first principles" by-line. The pentatonic scale description was neat in that you talked about how frequencies that sound good together have certain clean ratios, but when you jumped to chromatic scale, there was nothing about how that was derived other than "filling in the blanks." I love the site in general, but the "from first principles" by-line implies a few things that are kinda missing. It's more accurate to call it a visual introduction to western music theory.

A while back this article popped up on HN: https://arxiv.org/html/1202.4212v2 That one dived more into the physics and math that derive different music systems. As I was reading it, I wanted some interactivity like this. So well done! There's a lot of detail in there that could give you ideas for additional visualizations. It was also criticized here on HN a bit for also failing short of it's "first principles" promise, so worth finding and reading that discussion too.

The other thought I have is make the notes keyboard-playable. A lot of the examples are around playing notes together, and shifting between them using a mouse is too slow.

Awesome site overall!

Well it's ok because it's a function bar, which is barely used on any Mac at all, aside from (as others have pointed out) odd cases or people who are super dedicated to some sort of function mapping.

>I also know many Mac users who don't know why anyone would need a right mouse button

Macs have effectively had right mouse buttons for around a decade. Two finger click on the trackpad, or a literal right click on an Apple mouse (there just isn't a physically separate right button).
I think it comes down to how you want to spend your free time.

Some folks like to spend it building new things, and don't want to be hampered by having to spend time learning the ins and outs of $fancy_new_thing. Others like to spend it playing with new things, and don't like to be hampered by any technical limitations of $boring_old_thing.

It looks like the Touch ID area/button is physically separate, and I'm guessing it will function similarly to the home button on iOS devices (touch to power on/wake, and it scans your fingerprint at the same time): http://imgur.com/gallery/G8u98
> The problem with Scala is not that it has all the features of Swift, it's that it has way more.

Please have a serious look at Swift. I don't think this claim stands up to any kind of scrutiny.

Swift is more like C++ than anything else in terms of features, Kotlin has roughly the same amount of features as Scala but more special-cased ones. Kotlin solves one problem well, and only that one: If you want to write Java, but want it to be a bit less verbose, then Kotlin is perfect.
In theory. I've never actually tried Excelsior or any other AOT Java compiler, so I can't comment on that. What I do know is that Swift is free and has first-class support for AOT compilation.

Wake me up with some news.
I was laid off abruptly two months ago. It was a foreign situation to me; I had always lined up a bigger and better position. I was a bit like a fish out of water: filing for unemployment, sprucing up the resume, going to all the job boards. With a mortgage and a 14 month old, it was constantly on my mind.

They gave me two months' severance, so that plus our emergency fund took a little of the heat off. I landed a job that, while not an immediate step up, has room for growth.

What was nice was the extra time I had after say a half day of hitting the job boards and applying, to take my daughter to the park or help out with errands. In the evenings, I was able to focus on getting my latest game released on the app stores, which launched right before I started the new job.

While I wouldn't want to repeat that scenario for a while, I'm grateful for it. It really opened up the possibilities of where I wanted to move next (career-wise and location-wise).

You're right, it was an unfairly exaggerated characterization and I take it back.
Just wanted to point out that that's exactly what people said about software keyboards on phones vs hardware keys (and some still do, but most phones are now all software). It turns out that a big innovation in the first iphone was dynamically adjusting the touch boundaries of the keys + smarter autocorrect.
