Being a good sysadmin in 2016 requires a skill in programming. The ability to write apps and services that interact with your infrastructure's APIs is necessary to automate all the toil we've done since the beginning. (See google's SRE book)

As I have more control over hiring decisions on my team, an inability to use any programming language effectively (bash, python, perl, /anything/) would disqualify someone from a job in sysadmin or information security.
While SELinux enabled distros usually comes with a targeted mode by default Gentoo hardened has strict mode in it's policy rules, everything is confined with that policy.

Usually only targeted applications are confined by default and allowing unconfined applications to run without any protection.

Apparmor is easy and anyone can understand how it works after reading the wiki, while apparmor also has neat functions you need to compile them in sadly :(

OpenBSD is great, first you can leave it running for a long time without thinking about security bugs or updates, instead Linux you have to keep close eye to kernel updates & application patches, that's why things like mailservers & DNS & NTP and more are running OpenBSD because I know it doesn't need critical updates every week and uptime is critical for me.
Is there a place to find inspiration or other examples of Hammerspoon extensions? Just installed and wrote a few simple scripts, but having a hard time coming up with anything groundbreaking that I'd want to build.
But what's the point of hiring "only the best engineers" if you cram them cheek-to-jowl, elbow-to-elbow in morale-killing, productivity-demolishing open plan offices like the one featured so proudly on the FreshTalent homepage?
My life would be exponentially better if I could fall asleep at will. Especially if I could wake up no later than some given time interval.

They've chosen two issues to be concerned about: climate change, and endocrine disruptors, and call out industry interests muddying the field (e.g., the tobacco, petrochemical, and agrochemical industries).

There are definitely other areas to be looking at. You mention GMO. As I understand it, the push-back on GMO is not by industry and commercial interests, but others, such as environmental and consumer groups. If you know of evidence to the contrary, please let me know in a comment.

Also, they're concerned about damage that might be done due to ignoring the science around climate change and endocrine disruptors. If they were concerned that GMO was an issue in the same way (as some against GMO would argue), I think they'd include that as well.

I agree that we'd all do well to try to separate our political ideologies from science, which is hard to due, given human psychology. From my reading of the piece, I don't think it's fair to accuse them of "clearly picking horses".
Regarding point 1, this is a terrible design decision. Any low power or high performance uC that requires code in external SPI loads it into and executes from RAM. At 32Mhz it starts to make sense to have an ICACHE, with EMBEDDED Flash on a parallel bus. At 320Mhz you want to cache your RAM. With 320Mhz and external SPI (not even fast parallel NOR), you have to be insane. A single instruction cache miss will cost you 100s of clock cycles for a SPI read.

I really hope they just forgot to mention 100kB+ of RAM on that landing page, and the 16kB data is just a DCACHE.
At the time I started the project, there seemed to be a new article on top of HN every week telling me how Angular is bad and why I should learn React. Since I had been using Angular for a while on my day job, yes, Angular was the boring choice.

Interesting for this post to turn up as I was drafting and getting review for my own rebuttal to OpenBSD propaganda on Schneier's forum. I couldn't find it as I needed it. (shrugs) Quick attempt at redoing it here.

Started with this on Lobste.rs forum that's popular for OpenBSD developers:

Similar to some of the BS allthatiswrong counters. I'm just focusing on a few as it will already be a long writeup with many examples from history on where secure coding and UNIX really came from. In this Pastebin:

Does someone use Chisel language for FPGA programming? I'm using Verilog for my Altera DE1-SoC because it used in "Computer Principles and Design in Verilog HDL".
Imagine if you merge a branch of old commits from another repo or something, which introduce short hash collisions. Then you copy/paste a short hash, and Git doesn't know when that reference is from or which branch it might refer to.
Being a good sysadmin in 1996 and 2006 also required skills in programming. Sysadmins who don't code have always been limited in their career evolution. The same is true for developers who don't know anything about operations.

The focus on automation, and it being called DevOps, is simply an evolution of the work of sysadmins. The same way devs evolved toward TDD and other modern programming techniques.
That's awesome, I didn't know this was happening! Would have backed it otherwise.

Hopefully they have the budget to have it nice and polished before release.
Oh I agree. That's why we ditched ec2 for our own bare metal cloud based on joyent and saved over $200k/year
Would be nice if someone did a dissertation level analysis on this and really got into the details. It seems like there's a lot of "Just So" stories that get thrown around and not a lot of deep research. If there were, perhaps we'd find something that's leading to a sizeable amount of the cost differential that could be adjusted by policy makers.
The best part is that we're just now achieving what we could do in Flash 5-10 years ago, which was capable of achieving what we could do with native code 5-10 years before that.
I think the official patch for Fallout 1 actually removed the hard time limit in the original release. There's still some pressure at some parts of the game but players are no longer required to pass on exploration to rush to the end.

Some fans were unhappy with certain thematic changes in F2, e.g. the (at that time) excessive increase in pop culture references and muddying of the 50s retro sci-fi backstory.

For the uninitiated: There's a reason one of the original major Fallout communities was derided as "glittering gems of hatred" at one point. Fallout 1 had a very emotional following and what happened after Fallout 2 was a series of bad business decisions around a franchise with fans that just wanted another game in the series.

Basically Interplay tried to open the franchise to the combat strategy demographic with Fallout Tactics but had outsourced the entire game to a study with no sensibilities for the established setting or even premise of the first two games beyond "kinda like Mad Max with retro sci-fi".

Then they followed up by trying to do a console shmup with desperately oversexualised marketing (press packages contained actual condoms). Again, outsourced, and with no resemblence to the original two games at all.

In the meantime they killed off the actual in-development Fallout sequel codenamed Van Buren, which was the closest the fans ever got to a successor to Fallout 2.

Then they announced plans to create a Fallout based online game with another external company, which luckily never went anywhere (fans referred to the hypothetical Fallout Online as "FOOL" even before anyone took the idea serious).

At some point all the mismanagement and continued failures caught up with Interplay, long-time employees managed to sue for lost wages and a certain company that gave the world cookie-cutter fantasy combat RPGs with two dimensional characters bought the rights to Fallout 3, 4 and 5 (and possibly more) and created what people born in the late 1990s or later think of as Fallout today.

There were some other tearful events with ex-developers creating Fallout-like RPGs (in gameplay, not in story) at other companies (just to namedrop a few: Lionheart and Arcanum) but let's just say there were good reasons to be very angry and disappointed even before Bethesda had any chance to screw anything up.

I don't think claiming Bir Tawil would inherently concede anything, it's just that both sides prefer to base their claims on historical boundaries to make them seem more justified.
Using Rails 5 ActionCable with Angular and React
I think the piece is poorly titled, maybe even click-baity. The statement itself is specifically about moving forward on policies to address climate change and endocrine disruptors, which they believe is being obstructed by industry/commercial interests. By being signatories to this statement, they're expressing a unified stance. It's not really about how to combat science manipulation. It's just calling it out.

As for what to do, they state:

We therefore call for the development and implementation of effective measures that address both endocrine disrupting chemicals and climate change in a coordinated fashion. An effective way of achieving this would be by creating an organization within the United Nations with the same international standing and charge as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This body would review the science to be used by decision makers in the public interest and would protect our science from the influence of vested interests.

Edit to add: These are contentious topics. If you choose to down-vote, I'd appreciate a comment in the interest of open communication. Thanks!

That's funny, I would say the exact opposite is more often the case.
There were attempts. First of all, there's no way to port the graphics because FOT used a different perspective than FO1 and FO2. Secondly the engine itself is very limited so dialogue would have to boil down to singular yes-or-no questions (among other limitations).

There's really no way to make a more atmospheric game with that engine than FOT itself.
> It's not so much old vs new, or cool vs boring, but rather the thing you are most experienced with. If the goal is to just build the damn thing, go with a stack you would be most productive in.

This exactly. Customers do not care what the product was written in, as long as it solves their problem. I find this is a hard thing for programmers as we are generally curious and want to be learning. It is important to remember the goal. If the goal is the learn, then go learn. If it's to ship some software to start a business, then use the tools you know and ship something.
Genua on milcron's list is probably most significant. They are a defense contractor that sells firewalls, VPN's, data diodes, etc for business and government (including military). You can bet significant applications are protected with them.

This is the kind of role most of its users put it in. Others just use it like any other server OS with better reputation for reliability and security. Less patching... a time-consuming activity... at the least. Last one was similar reason for adoption of Argus Pitbull and SELinux w/ Tresys tools in their niches. Less worries when malware is going viral on the Internet and in media. ;)

Why do people even do this? Not the suing, I understand that, but employee jumps ship from Company A to go to company B and uses the laptop of Company A to access a lot of data just before they go.

I really resonate with the feeling "wow this company is really screwing up/failing this project I've thrown my heart and soul into" but going from there to exfiltrating all of the data so that you can (presumably) take it to a competitor company and make it flourish there? When you step back and think about it you might think several things.

Do I want to hire someone who will steal the IP of the company they are leaving and bring it to me? Why wouldn't they steal my IP and take it to one of my competitors?

Do I want to work for a company that is ok with people bringing in stolen IP? What sort of other unethical behaviors do they tolerate and am I ok with those too?

There were numerous examples of MAC, esp SELinux, stopping vulnerabilities. There's also plenty of examples of bugs and vulnerabilities in software with OpenBSD even fixing bugs regularly. The claim that one should reduce bugs and have damage limitation to reduce overall risk is rock solid with proof in the field.

The refrain of OpenBSD supporters is, "It's not necessary and won't help..."

The reality in field deployments, "It was and did."

QED.

US is a contender as long as you're willing to fight the US government in court, and you'd likely have to. The law may ultimately be on your side, but that doesn't mean the US government won't try to drop the hammer hard on you if they really want your data. They know most of the small companies and even some of the big ones scare easily, so the aggressive attitude is well worth it for them, even if they know they're doing unconstitutional data requests.

Switzerland and Germany are probably the best right now, although Switzerland recently passed a surveillance law, too, but I'm not sure how it affects VPNs. Germany has a privacy-friendly Constitution and resides within the EU, which also has strong privacy laws. However, Germany is also trying to limit privacy rights, so this may be a little unpredictable right now. Germans usually tend to care more about privacy so they may fight this, though.

More than anything I would recommend a "zero-knowledge" approach, so use the strongest and most ephemeral VPN encryption and generally try to discard user-related data as soon as you get it. And put it all in your ToS/Privacy Policy so that it's legally harder to lie to your customers when you're forced to not do that anymore.

After reading claims of Bannon's rabid anti-semitism, I was surprised to read this personal testimonial for him by a Jewish former employee: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/11/14/stephen-k...

I have worked with Stephen K. Bannon, President-elect Donald Trump’s new chief strategist and senior counselor, for nearly six years at Breitbart News. I can say, without hesitation, that Steve is a friend of the Jewish people and a defender of Israel, as well as being a passionate American patriot and a great leader.

A word or two about my credentials: I am an Orthodox Jew, and I hold a Master of Arts degree in Jewish Studies. My thesis at the Isaac and Jesse Kaplan Centre at the University of Cape Town dealt with the troubled status of Jews in an increasingly anti-Israel, and antisemitic, post-apartheid South Africa. I believe myself to be a qualified judge of what is, and is not, antisemitic.

It defies logic that a man who was a close friend, confidant, and adviser to the late Andrew Breitbart — a proud Jew — could have any negative feelings towards Jews. As I can testify from years of work together with Steve in close quarters, the opposite is the case: Steve is outraged by antisemitism. If anything, he is overly sensitive about it, and often takes offense on Jews’ behalf.

A single testimonial doesn't convince me that Bannon is a great guy, but it certainly reminded me that the mainstream media may not always be aiming for an honest portrayal.

Edit: Having said that, I was impressed that this New York Times article (while starting off quite critical) offers a much fuller picture than I've seen elsewhere: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/27/us/politics/steve-bannon-w...

This company so isn't worth destroying your life over.

If you start feeling this way, you really need to stop caring about it. Just show up, do your work. Nod politely when they put you on a PIP and start focusing your effort on finding a new job. Literally allow yourself to start doing a bad job so that you can free up enough mental energy to go find a new one.
There's no consensus that it "must" be dealt with, however, there is a clear consensus that if we don't deal with it (which is a quite possible scenario) then places like Florida Keys will cease to be inhabitable within the next 50-100 years.
You can do that in a SELinux-like system. There's been tools and policy languages for it. Even better, if the language is high-level & declarative, then it can be used to generate security policies on many different OS's and mechanisms instead of just SELinux or pledge.
Depends by what you mean a 'large' team. I'd say the larger the team, the more I'd prefer a strong, powerful static type system that allows for rapid iteration without fear of breaking the existing codebase. At a certain scale though (probably thousands of developers), the fact that you need to hire some ratio of experts in the language for every so many green to the language means something like Haskell or Scala might not be worth the trouble.

I certainly think the more static typing the better though.
