OK, you don't trust it but they're not going to burn their sources and methods in a public report. Do you seriously expect them to voluntarily expose their assets when it could be a death sentence for their human sources? A future executive might make that decision and live with the consequences, but members of the intelligence community aren't going to voluntarily wreck their networks.
I agree with your sentiment but is it not possible for the authors to reveal this evidence because that would undermine their intelligence capabilities?
It's a very common company policy, because it's 'never use GPL' is a much easier rule to follow than 'only use GPL when it doesnt expose the company to risk'. Programmers aren't lawyers.
I fully agree with you here - neither C/C++ are a gateway to salvation. http://www.redox-os.org/news/rust-is-softwares-salvation-17/
Right. The top 1% of devs go to the top 1% of companies. The other 99% go to the other 99%. No one coming out of a bootcamp is a 1% dev, and they're not going to 1% companies. They're 99% devs going to 99% companies, companies who just need someone who knows Rails and can get an e-commerce site stood up.

I've never been to a bootcamp, but I've worked indirectly with people who have. They're mostly good people and want to do a good job.
You've been using HN primarily for political purposes. That's an abuse of this site, and we ban accounts that do it. Indeed, we've already banned a couple of your other accounts for this. Using multiple accounts to get around HN moderation is also an abuse of this site. Please stop.
I've thought about doing something like Lester from American Beauty, where he just quits his job and works at a fast food restaurant. Maybe just for a few months. I've never worked at a cafe or a restaurant so I want to see what that's like. I think I will start a cafe with my wife one day, so it would be good for me to have some personal experience.

I don't think I could contribute much to an NGO if I had to leave my technical skills at the door. But that's certainly a domain that I'm interested in.

I would also love to do something in the film industry. I would start as an assistant, and eventually do something with special effects. I also enjoy editing.

Maybe writing. I don't think I'm a very talented writer, but I might try to write a novel one day. I've tried to write a few screenplays for short films, and so far they've just been awful. It's a lot of fun, though.

I don't think that's a valid wikipedia citation. From Wikipedia's Verifiability page [1]:

Say goodbye to the boomer celebrities, and hello to the Trump years.
Looks like it was fixed just now or there is some round-robin balancing behind it.
> the people who have these devices are not going to even care about fixing their devices until their ISP disconnects them for spewing crap onto the internet

It's not a matter of caring; there is nothing they can do about it. They don't know what "device" is causing a problem, how that could even happen, which electronics are even connected to the Internet, how something could be connected to the Internet, or even what "Internet" or "electronics" mean. They don't know what a web browser is and do not understand what a webpage is.

Abusing innocent people doesn't solve the problem and, more importantly, is unjust.
I'm unsure about what danger is being exposed here outside of what other agents have or are currently employing.
Can someone give some more perspective regarding the significance of this?
Absolutely. I use CQRS fairly regularly, but I've never used ES on production software and I can't think of a case where it would have been appropriate. It's a serious solution that is not trivial to implement.

CQRS is a highly understandable, almost always reasonable technique to follow when you strip away all the other things that people tend to associate it with.

This is a pretty decent article on that: https://lostechies.com/jimmybogard/2012/08/22/busting-some-c...
The article says "80% of its peak user base within the next three years", but the title says "by 2017"?

Also, I'd have liked to know to what Facebook would lose its users. During the Pokémon GO craze Facebook and other social sites lost temporally their users before they came back.
They're still going to be able to see exactly what you are doing, they probably have all that data indexed and easily searchable by keyword. So it wont matter if you visit hundreds of random websites, they will still be a record of the exact the sites you are trying to hide from them. But I applaud your creativity and cleverness. Hiding via obscurity is not proper security. You would be better off buying a cheap vps and creating your own private vpn over ssh for web browsing.
You should look at the definition of "nomad". Stopping somewhere temporarily is pretty fundamental.

I did one back in 2013 and went in with very minimal experience-- I could write simple loops in python but had no idea how to actually build something. At the time I wasn't even sure if that's what I wanted to do for a living. I knew I wanted to try something in tech since it's everywhere in SF. At a bare minimum, the bootcamp would give me an idea of how the engineering process works.

All of the bootcamps I know of focus solely on web dev. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Plenty of places need web people, and you can always keep learning and transition to something else if you want.

Here's the advice I usually have for people that ask me if they should do one:

* what did you do in college? I found that people who did some sort of STEM major caught on much more quickly than those who did something like Art. Basically, if you've had a lot of experience with problem solving and critical thinking things should come easier to you

* go in with a project in mind. Learning with a purpose and intent (I want to build X, what do I need to learn to do that?) is much more effective

* don't believe the job placement numbers. Prepare to be on the hunt for 6 months after you finish

* try to talk to people who did the specific program you're interested in. This is a big one. LinkedIn is your friend.

* if you do go, don't mention it on your resume. Plenty of people just throw bootcamp resumes out. Just say you're self taught.

* you won't learn to code just by simply showing up to class. It takes a lot of effort outside the classroom

That's all I can think of for now. I had a tough time finding my first job, but if I had to do it all over again I'd do it in a heartbeat. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions.

Why would that necessarily be true? After a celebrity dies, a short amount of text is expected to be added about the death, but beyond that, why would you expect the length to increase?
For some reason I can't run Emacs in terminal/unwindowed mode in Alacritty. Every "regular" character I type (ie to enter text into a buffer), Emacs says it's "unrecognized".

Control sequences work - ie I can exit with C-x C-e.

Works fine in regular Mac OS X terminal.

Any suggestions appreciated. Looks like an awesome project!
For sure, but in this scenario I doubt snags pulling anything would be possible. In the video it was stopping the blade before it could even break the skin on fingertips.

If the safety mechanism failed though, the resulting injury would be far worse as a result of the gloves, so it might not be worth it in that regard.
They definitely do. Every one that I've interviewed has unrealistic expectations on salary or hourly rate.

These camps are telling their students that they should be getting $75/hr all day long. The reality is that most should be like $20-30/hr. They'd be better served if they were told to go for a fair rate, get a job and experience and were prepped on how to negotiate as their skills increase.

That being said - I really like the personalities of the people coming out of the camps and I've hired a few. They're generally hungry and excited.

It does seem likely that that's the case however a good reason to withhold the evidence doesn't increase the likelihood that I will/should trust the report.

There's no good solution to this, it's unfortunate that they proved themselves untrustworthy in the past.
> The underlying premise of what you write, seems to be that money is the only yardstick that matters.

That's not what I said at all, and it does not reflect what I think, but it does smack of the presumptuous and dogmatic pigeon-holing that DHH often commits.

Money is not the only thing that matters, but it is a thread that runs through most endeavors in tech and all venture undertakings and businesses.

Control is a big issue. And so is survival. Sometimes to you give up the first to achieve the second. That usually happens by degrees. I am part of a venture-funded startup and well aware of the tradeoffs.

I found DHH's perspective interesting the first time, but he has not done a lot to hold my attention since that initial exposure.
Totally thought this was going to be about security breaches. (Also dangerous for celebrities I imagine -- though I guess it can be a career making breach for some)

Confused as to why there is any objection to this. He stated that it'll typically get a reply that includes their email, and he is simply creating context within the subject line – this advantageous for the receiver.

If it were me (and I had indeed shared my email to the person reaching out on Twitter) I'd appreciate the reminder of how/why they are reaching out on email.
Thats fine if it works for you. To me its just noise that pollutes all the things I want to do. You don't have to be a hermit. If avoiding Facebook makes you a hermit, than I think we failed and we're depending too much on a single technology to be social, that doesn't sound right to me.
Any journalist worth their salt will let you record the interview as well as any communication. You could also save/forward any of theire-mails. If this happens to you make it public/talk to their editors. I'm also skeptical as WSJ and NYT are top-tier publications, and honestly most journalists are highly ethical.
Managing Your Passwords with a Web Browser
Usually in situations like that it either goes to a special court or the judge reviews it alone and then instructs the jury to take certain facts for granted. This might sound odd but it's actually very common - if both sides in a case agree about certain facts then they are 'stipulated' and become binding matters of fact that are not subject to challenge or review later.
That's not what I said. What I said was that terminal was unbelievably fast. Especially for backwards scrolling which is an important use case to me.
Of course it's always okay to build opinionated software at any level. If you don't like, don't use it.
As someone who's seen too many gems get abandoned, I'm hoping that this one sticks! Fortunately, it seems ultimately aligned with the underlying business so that's usually a good indicator.

Another problem with these model<->database gems is that they're impossible to mix and match. In particular, if you use something like octopus (https://github.com/thiagopradi/octopus) for selecting replica databases, then you're out of luck when trying to match it with this gem, at least at first glance.

When the world expects GridViews..
Yup, that's true. I wouldn't go that route for media or HTPC type use.

It hasn't been a problem for me, for development use, as kernel dependencies aren't common in your typical stable of editor/compiler/interpreter/IDE/etc... The only real limitations I've hit for development are when you want to run local tests that require a container or VM system, where you do start worrying about kernel and drivers. But that wouldn't be terribly practical anyway, since the hardware (other than the pixel) is just too low-end to handle that kind of use well, in general.

Most (all?) chromebooks also support unlocking the bootloader which would allow you to install a stock linux distro running directly on the hardware, but you're right...at that point you lose all the benefits of chromeos, and might as well look at low-end pc laptops instead.
Clojure's community tend to shy away from larger frameworks in favor of small libraries. While this makes it flexible, it certainly is daunting to get into. We also know there is a struggle on the documentation front, and many of us are working to bring both the official documentation and the individual lib docs more friendly.

But if you want to see how to build a larger webapp, the Luminus project [1] is an excellent source of documentation for how to build web applications with Clojure. I would also recommend the r/clojure subreddit where many of the library authors hang out and help new users of Clojure. We often have a "New Users: Ask Us Anything" thread.

The multiplexer v emulator is the key difference. At least for me. Exactly because of the ssh and session persistence you mean.

For the thing to replace the TUI, I'd expect something in between current terminals and X11. With the simple, limited (and thus easily remotable) data of the current terminal emulators, but with much more drawing capabilites than the current grid-limited ascii art.

I came to this idea when trying to get vim up to a full IDE. Trying to get even half of netbeans' interface into vim just takes so much space in the ascii grid. And anything dynamic moves half the screen a shitton.

I'd ask anyone that went to a coding bootcamp to fill out a review of the bootcamp you attended at https://schools.techendo.com

It not only helps out potential devs looking to attend bootcamps, but also helps the bootcamps themselves figure things out.

Apart from learning Clojure, Daniel's humor made it a really fun read for me.

If you enjoyed the style of the book, it's also worth checking out his talk on parallel programming [1], I caught myself laughing out loud and actually learning something at the same time.

Thanks, Daniel!

I've tried Codecademy for Python, but their approach doesn't really teach you the concepts very well or in enough detail. For example, their AngularJS tutorial didn't explain how to set up tooling or how to structure an application. It just jumps into directives (I think?) without giving you much context.
I get that, but every software package I have ever bought explicitly disclaimed it would do anything in the EULA and TOS documents. So if they are successful at suing D-Link does it create a carve-out that says "If you tell people your software does x or has feature or attribute y, and it doesn't actually do that or have that, you are liable for misrepresenting your product."

Because it it does create that carve out then there are going to be a BOATLOAD of lawsuits against software companies.
I've been wondering if it isn't just that more celebrities have died (which I thought was unlikely), but that the celebrities dying are surprisingly young.

Like when Kirk Douglas eventually dies, the likely reaction will be, "Wait, he was still alive?!" But it seems we've had lots of celebrities in their 50's and 60's dying, which is young for rich people.

So maybe it's not death, just unexpected death. I think it hits home more for people when a young person dies, even if "young" in some cases is in their 50's.
There is no 'same speed of Ethernet' for infiniband or omnipath or aries, etc. There is more to these networks than throughput, and the switches approach a million dollars apiece.

The rest of the non-phi/non-tesla hardware is pretty much off the shelf, but the interconnect is one of the two distinguishing features of a supercomputing-class cluster; the other is high-performance shared storage (which of course requires the interconnect to function).
In my experience from myself and people I know being misquoted or misrepresented, it's when the stakes are low (except maybe someone's profit motive) that things are at their worst. I haven't had any problems myself with my now-sidelined startup, but when I was a teenager I was misquoted about something as trivial as a local video store. Others I know have been misrepresented to an extreme degree on political topics by local papers.
I'm a 24 yrs old humanities student which spent two years self teaching programming, but decided to pursue sth. else as while programming is fun, the industry for the most part very boring. If I could, I'd become an architect. I love buildings, I often get tripped on the street because I'm watching the houses, the shops etc. And in my childhood I had the chance: my parents begged me to go to the architectural schoo (a vocational secondary), then they forced me, but I was stupid and I went to the normal lycée. I just love buildings, but in the other hand, I know that I wouldn't be able to work with the kind of them I adore, masonry beauties. So I'm kind of happy that I didn't become an architect given I'd have the same situation as my software attempt: big contrast between the ideals that drive me and the economic reality. I would love to do interior design though, I guess I'll try my luck in it after graduating from uni next year.
Not entirely wrong.

As noted earlier by schiffern, charcoal has a huge surface area, and carbon fiber has a different structure with much less surface area.

But, I'd still expect it to burn very nicely in the presence of concentrated oxygen.

Carbon fiber, is solid fibers about 5-7 microns thick and of arbitrary length. The fiber is embedded in a matrix, typically of epoxy. A typical ratio for a high-performance part would be about 64% carbon fiber and 36% epoxy. If built properly, the epoxy or other matrix material will completely encapsulate the carbon, including a thin coating on the surfaces.

That said, the first thing I'd want to do in the presence of 100% liquid oxygen is to coat the entire carbon composite to ensure that the composite and the oxygen stay apart. The epoxy itself is an organic compound, and the thickness of the coating is at most a few hundred microns (you have to be very careful sanding the surface to prep it for a more durable coating, or you'll get into the carbon).

I don't really understand your reply. Where you replying to my comment?
"The Joy Of Clojure" is more in line with Crockford's book. It goes into what Clojure does well and what you should avoid. I especially liked how it broke down it's different concurrency primitives and the pitfalls.

I consider Brave and True to be Clojure's version of _why's Poignant Guide to Ruby.
No, it is using Flinger.

I'm not sure if this counts, because I quit before my career started. I learned programming in high school, ca. 1981, and I had a summer internship at a large data processing shop with an IBM 370 and several timesharing minicomputers. Also, my older brother was in the programming business, and I was able to look ahead to the typical CompSci coursework at the colleges in my area.

I loved programming, but it seemed like both the coursework and what programmers actually did for a living was pretty dull. Of course I wasn't exposed to the full range of possibilities, and it was just before the computer industry exploded, which nobody in my circle (parents, advisors etc.) predicted.

I went to college and majored in math. It seemed like the things that attracted me to programming were going on in the math and physics departments, so I was happy, and ended up with a physics degree. Today, I use programming as a problem solving tool, but have never held an actual IT job.

About a year ago I chose to replace my old MacBooks superdrive with a second HD. I found a penny stuck under the plastic covering on mine as well. No penny could have fallen into the slot to get to where it is located, and the device is not refurbished.

The location of the coin is on top of the spindle motor, so I assumed that it was for vibration dampening, and that it was cheaper to put a penny on it than to cut a piece of metal to fit.
That's simply not true. Plenty of students have had success after bootcamps.
I'm saying that your idea that the JVM enables performance for dynamic langiagss, and then that's why the languages succeeded is wrong.

I also think it's wrong to imply IronPython and IronRuby failed for purely performance reasons.
I would say that you are - I'm interested in more than just the hack, but in how that information was drip-fed back to the public. I have no problem with RT putting out propaganda as such(it's not like we don't do so) but if there's a pattern of coordination between RT, WL and other actors then examining the control linkages is legitimate.

Of course I can only speculate on the juiciness (or not) of the details in the redacted half. The US government reflexively overclassifies things (perhaps to provide the enemy with an excess of possible targets) but I imagine some of it must be hyper-sensitive.
Different issue, but related. Low impact stories are often rushed and not rigorously written. Sloppy versus actual malice, and I use that very specific legal term intentionally; reading about that and Sullivan will better illustrate the distinction I'm making between the two than I ever could.

Playing hardball with sources as that commenter describes is high stakes stuff. Sloppy stories are sloppy stories because they don't get detailed attention. Related, but different.
