>treating investors with less than the respect they deserve

Is not having a direct line 24/7 less respect than a investor deserves? Especially one who was invested only a few hundred dollars?
>>Automate your own tasks and do not tell anybody. Have a chilled out life!

Many years ago there was a post on an obscure online forum about some guy who hired virtual assistants do to 100% of his work for him for a tiny, tiny fraction of his salary. I don't remember the details, but he would basically go to work and do nothing all day. After a while he started staying at home, and no one at his company even noticed.
No, the current expectation is the consumer to buy it :/
1. Just because you don't mind if people have RO access doesn't mean you should use default passwords. Privilege escalation is a thing, and is often far easier than getting a foot-hold. The number of developers who "don't bother with" disciplined input validation in areas that are supposed to be accessible only be trusted users is staggering.

2. Don't expose entire hosts to the internet. Punch only necessary holes in the firewall. That way the device at least needs to phone home in order to cause a problem like this.

3. Do you have a similar policy with other hosts are your network? I.e., do you figure "well that's inside the firewall so we don't need to worry about encryption/timely application of security updates/resetting default passwords/etc."? If you're not 100% sure (or if the answer is "no"), you now have a lot of cleanup work to do.
Sadly, it's not written in Go :-)
> Jony Ive has a thing for reducing devices to their core-most functionality. It's a design trait picked up from the likes of Deiter Rams.

Ive likes to associate himself with Rams, and people like to throw around the "as little design as possible" meme, but Ive and Rams are really very different in their execution of that idea, which counts for a lot. Ive is much more willing to challenge convention in his reductions, which sometimes pays off, but sometimes it means his products are a pain in the ass for the user to figure out when they ship. This can't be said of Rams.
Discourse is primarily a better alternative to bulletin-board style forums. Here's their docs on embedding, which seems like it would make it act a little more like disqus. https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-discourse-comments-vi...

Note that a major difference is that you apparently have to go into the forum page to leave a comment, you can't do it from the page you're discussing.
I feel like this is such a basic skill that I'm surprised this is even a discussion.
Is there a .dmg version? I couldn't find one.
Anyone know what are the reasonable steps that d-link failed to take?

I see no mention of it in the article.

Topological Methods for the Analysis of High Dim Data Sets and 3D Obj Recognition [pdf]
The point is people don't want to carry a bag of dongles with them everyday.

Especially the Pro model consumers. It's fine for reduced ports on an Air or MacBook, you're going to make sacrifices for portability. For a flagship laptop consumers expect options.
How are they dealing with the absence of the 'Esc' key? Is it annoying to have the soft key or hardly noticeable?
As per previous comments, _very_ recently one came out. It was not out with the initial rollout of the devices.
Yup, it's different over here. RCD (we call if GFCI here in the USA) tends to be built directly into the outlet, main breakers installed at the box. You guys generally tend to run 240/277V series-ring wire runs, though, yes? We run parallel circuits here.
Terminal speed is the primary reason I (and some others) use 'terminology', which is a relatively quick terminal emulator out of the enlightenment project.
> state-sponsored teams of children aren't working day and night to find new ways to make your toy dangerous that you could never have thought of at the time.

I'm not so sure that's true anymore. Lots of kid's toys are internet-connected these days...
I did #2 for a time on the south side of Chicago while I was in graduate school. We founded a non-profit; begged, borrowed, and stole computers; and wrangled a lease for $1. Paid for internet and power out of my and my co-founders pockets.

It turns out the educational systems in areas like that are, ah, pretty bad. We ended up teaching more basic logical thinking and occasional math (arithmetic) than real programming. Still, we got the kids to make HTML/CSS websites, a few picked up some basic JavaScript, others made Arduino robots. We offered a safe, educational space for free or as close to free as we could.

It was very rewarding, but also one of the most brutal experiences of my life (earning <$30K and working as a graduate student didn't help, of course!). I'd do it again, but only if I had the cash to back me, preferably my own because grant funding is/was thin, the labor required is enormous, and volunteers are flaky.

I still keep in touch with one of our students, though. I like to think we really helped him, at least.
If I didn't have to worry about losing lots of money, I'd become a freelance reviewer of skis and ski resorts :)
For anyone else who wondered, in this context STM stands for Scanning Tunneling Microscope (as opposed to Software Transactional Memory).

The firewall has a 1 to 1 NAT feature. It maps an external ip to an internal one. I had no firewall policies set. Rookie mistake, I've blocked all outgoing access and only allow port 80 and the video port incoming.
Surface Studio is actually selling at 2x what Microsoft anticipated it selling for, so it seems to be a bigger market than one would think.

Very good article. Just after the MacGregor joke, Andrew Stanton says "storytelling is joke telling, it's knowing your punchline". This is illuminating. It's something we probably do instinctively but it helps a lot thinking about it voluntarily.

Zinsser's "On Writing Well" is fantastic, esp. parts 1 & 2 and "The Travel Article" which is a story by itself... I so much love this book!

What's maybe missing from your article is who do you pitch to? How do you find emails of editors and how do you get them to open your message when you're starting out and nobody knows your name?
I was exactly the same!

But I still wanted to keep working in IT.

Now I do consulting.

Maybe that's something you might like?
41% of those remaining. The percentages hurt more with each round.
From what I can tell from Homebridge they provide HomeKit emulation - not compatibility. You're running a local Node server to emulate the Homekit API.

Still neat - but hardly the sort of thing that implies you can ship a product utilizing Homekit without following the MFi spec.
Thanks, definitely going to give those a read. Best of luck!
Exponential laws of computing growth
This analogy is stupid. There is a difference between these things breaking under normal use and being activly attacked.

You're not on the hook as a contractor for a house if it's vulnerable to missile attacks.
but what about maybe another yacht? some island? that limited edition lamborghini? oh you could collect art. use your bonus to get more of that. i think this "if i had this specific amount of money, then i'd have everything i could possibly desire" is unlikely to be true, you'll find more things to spend your money on.

another thought: you could donate all of it. the perfect money sink. it actually helps, and more of it helps better. so with an altruistic mind you can get motivated with that no matter on which salary level :)
I really disagree with the authors definition of minimal.

Terminal emulators have such a minimal user interface as it is it's a bit boggling that I have to make the case for the following "bloat" that other terminal emulators have.

I need scrollback because I do occasionally pick up my mouse and grab things that have scrolled off the screen. Tmux doesn't help with this but maybe there is some magic that I don't know these days.

I need tabs. At any given time many of those tabs might have instances of tmux somewhere in their multiply nested depths, generally on remote hosts.

I'm not going to start tmux on every local prompt just so I can use Alacritty and thus intentionally starting a tmux in tmux funshow.

I use "Monitor for Silence" "Monitor for Activity" pretty consistently.

It's free software so I glad the author is making something and hopefully enjoying the process. I can't really use this or consider it until he reconsiders. Maybe he'll get some collaborators that will argue him around on this.

Cool project otherwise.
So jealous. I'm in a similar boat re awful Enterprise IT work. Do tell how you got into that!
Traditional wooden furniture making. A large part of the appeal to me is that while power tools can make the work go faster, you can accomplish an immense amount using only a relatively small set of hand tools and time.

For example, I built a pole lathe[0] (almost) entirely by hand in September. I bought 4x4 posts at Home Depot, milled them square with bench planes, chopped the mortises by hand, and cut the tenons with a hand saw. To make the dead centers, I chucked a big lag screw in my drill press and ground the head into a point with an angle grinder.

Now I'm (slowly) trying to teach myself the basics of how to turn.
TDD (timecard driven development) - hack on shit for a while. commit at 4 PM. you may not be able to separate features, but you can back code out to the most recent "runs" commit before the rollback you need!
Yup, you're in that world. Sympathies!

It's good you have the background -- that's what you can leverage. Maybe start playing around with a Raspberry Pi for a refresher on the HW and basic software, and go from there. I jumped into it by learning Android from the inside out (via AOSP), and was then fortunate to then be forced to learn it more deeply via client who needed a customized version for their new hardware. This was not according to a grand plan of mine though -- I was just so done with IT that it felt worth the risk. I lowered my hourly rates by 50% for one year in order to get a gig in that space. I looked at the loss as an investment in education. If I didn't make it happen within one year then I'd consider going back to what I had been doing. Paying for food+shelter is a great motivator (the carrot), but the horrible thought of "going back" to IT was even more motivating (the stick).

As for the above, YMMV of course. Good luck!
What school are you going to for furniture making?

I largely disagree with Piketty in this case. There are metrics which are available to management which provide the specific insights needed to drive compensation to the most appropriate individuals. I do not disagree that there management systems which ignore those metrics and base their compensation on relationships.

I agree with the basic thesis that as the productivity of workers (as measured by $ generated per worker hour of labor) has gone up tremendously in the silicon age, and that the fruits of that gain have been disproportionately allocated to management. But as the root of that gain has been the transition for goods economies to information economies, and information economies are particularly susceptible to price correction through antagonistic action[1] Given the challenges of creating barriers to entry, the information economics will (in my opinion of course) eventually force capital to the creators away from management.

[1] In the goods economy if the price of a car is too high you substitute other goods (like bikes or motorcycles) but in an information economy if your price is too high people simply pirate the content and take the capital out by force. cite: Netflix vs Napster vs MPAA.
Did you read the article?

> the FTC says the company failed to protect its routers and cameras from widely known and reasonably foreseeable risks.

It sounds like they shipped the devices with known security flaws. This is not at all related to not updating your software when new security flaws are found.
I think you're thinking of Mount Diablo. It's not quite volcanic anymore though (however when California was just the ocean it was), but is instead caused by uplift to the earth's plates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Diablo#Geology.
This is the whole purpose of using a password manager. 1Password is capable of providing OTP codes instead of something like Google Auth. Obviously this makes 1Password a single point of failure, but that's true of password managers in general anyways since people usually put all of their sensitive things into them. At least with 1Password you can isolate items into vaults.
> Sure its a huge number that you didn't get an extra three million dollars but what can you do differently with $8M that you can't do with $5M?

You can do a heck of a lot more with $3m than $13k.

I know you're thinking proportionally, but that's not necessarily correct.

And you can always find things you really need the money for. Want a mega-yacht? Better start saving, because $13M ain't gonna cut it.
So now anyone who doesn't worship Modi is anti-national hoarder?

Anyone who have cash for emergency purpose is a hoarder? Is cash illegal?

99% of my money is in bank, less than 1% of it is cash; out of which only a small fraction is INR. I require it for travel and emergency purpose.

Andhi Bhakti is not allowing you think rationally. Good luck with the jumlas, now that Modi has confiscated our money... he is sending you 15 lakhs soon.
Very interesting use of vsync.. using it to cap redraw time and allow more time for processing...
VR in 2017 will be 90+% about gaming, and Apple has never really cared about gaming. I doubt they'll start caring now all of a sudden.
This was enlightening. I've met many women who couldn't articulate it, but have described the same feelings after meeting a husband who supported them becoming stay at home moms.
Pretty awesome, but I'm not sure if I want my GPU fans spinning if all I'm doing is looking at a terminal :P
Why do you think the funds in your 401k are better than you could ever get in your IRA? You can open an IRA account anywhere you want. If the funds available where you are now aren't good, just move somewhere with better choices.
How? Everyone suddenly realizes they have been closet gamer for many years and comes out for VR?

I think the rub is that all security bugs are bugs at the time of sale/update. Discovered or otherwise.

But I agree with you here because at the time of sale, this feature was widely agreed upon to be a bad practice and was also a known feature. So it's not like someone discovered a clever 0-day DLink didn't know about. DLink knew what it was doing, knew that best practices said not to do the thing it was doing, and did that thing anyways.

No no, cust0m is right, I didn't think it through. It comes with a 3.5mm female to lightning male adaptor, not a lightning female to 3.5mm male adaptor.

Development is my dream job. The day to day is completely different than I imagined, but a good fit for me overall. Learning how to be content in spite of all the blockers to "just coding" had not been trivial, but doing anything well is always hard.

If I had to pick something else, I'd probably get bored.
>Am I on the hook for patching all the systems in the field? What are my obligations here?

This complaint seems to have nothing to do with patching. Did you check out any of the actual text? Their complaints are about disregarding security norms from 2007 (backdoors, injection flaws), using hard-coded passwords, and posting their private signing key publicly.
Do you have a link that describes an example of this?

Ok nevermind, google is my friend: https://github.com/PaquitoSoft/memored

I can see where this would come in handy. But at 240MB total resident memory per CPU across 4 node workers that OP describes, I wouldn't hassle with it.
I've met a number of wealthy people in my life who never had to work and I wouldn't wish that life upon my enemies. I don't know how else to phrase it but having to work builds character.

That being said, I'm a fan of the idea behind a UBI.
A pity you can't use Vulkan on MacOS. Otherwise you could have used vulkano[1] instead of OpenGL.

Great article, but I'm wondering if it isn't missing the most important piece of information - how did you track down the editors, and their email addresses? Or is this information that can be gleaned from twitter?
The only easy to use and reasonable tool is trello. You can keep a list of tasks but it's not very practical to see who's doing what.

A good practise is to request people (not just developers) to send a weekly email to manager(s). (Keep it concise AND bullet points MUST be understandable by anyone NOT familiar with their projects).

Major news: single line (if any)

Done: ...

And then. Have each team make a google doc. Write down goals/targets for the next month(s) and who's responsible for executing it.

Teams update the document once a month and email it company wide, open to comments.
That's really cool and their README gives some great background. Thanks!
If Intel is interested in developing IoT why did they abandon phone processors? They are both similar.
I would be the funniest guy in the world.
I'd probably go into academia, honestly. I'd probably want to be a researcher, though I'm not sure which field of study I would focus on. Either cognitive psychology or linguistics, I imagine.
Agreed. I use PrivacyBadger[1] to block the download of assets from third-party domains. That way I can selectively enable anything that I want from the blocked domains.

I'd design and build concrete shell homes with basalt reinforcement bars and transverse light-transmitting fibers, for the rural and suburban markets, and factory-manufactured home modules that are rack-mounted and transportable via intermodal shipping containers and forklifts, for the urban market.

One of the disappointing things I have learned is that many municipalities limit the visible height of residential buildings from the average grade level to its highest point to only 30 or 40 feet. That means, in combination with the depth of the frost-heave line, that spherical shells are not possible for a family-sized home, and the only feasible tornado-resistant shapes would be severely-flattened ellipsoids and toruses. I had a hypothesis that I really wanted to test regarding the humidity problems experienced with geodesic dome homes, but that one zoning issue makes testing it pretty much impossible.

I have been pretty disappointed with all of the stick-built homes I have ever lived in, with regard to maintenance and infrastructure issues. In short, I'm sick of paying through the nose for cheap, slipshod crap. If I'm going to pay through the nose anyway, I'd rather get something that could survive a nuclear strike on the nearest strategic asset, where I would never have to use a plunger in any toilet because the architect never talked to a master plumber, and never need to tack up visible wires because the existing wiring plan stinks, and also never have to carry the laundry up and down two flights of stairs because no one bothered to minimize the distance between that particular appliance and all the bedroom closets.

I just want to rebel against the existing market conditions in housing. Realistically, I would likely be an abysmal failure in that sector, and would have to return to software development--with my tail between my legs--in less than 5 years. But I'd also get a kickass house out of it, which would slowly reveal its agonizingly severe problems over the following 10 years, which would have bankrupted my company anyway, had it succeeded. Then I'd write a book about my experience, which would sell 30 copies. I'd become a bitter old geezer, and none of my co-workers would talk to me unless they had a question about our crufty, legacy C++21 module that everyone else is afraid to touch. My best friend would be a red Swingline stapler. I would be buried with it. Then concrete shell homes would sweep the nation in a flurry of unexpected popularity. I would get frequent reports about it in "The Special Hell for People Who Don't Really Deserve It, But We Torment Them Anyway, Just for Fun", which would be effectively indistinguishable from my pre-demise existence as a software professional, except Special Hell gets 3.5 weeks of PTO, and Columbus Day off, because even pure evil has limits.~
I use a 5yo MBP with 16G RAM; the idea of dropping 4 grand on a laptop that will still be capped at 16G 5 years from now is laughable.
I don't follow how this is an example of what you conclude.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we never been able to connect iPhone's to computers without a special cable.

It's baffling, but not new.
Almost everything you just said is incorrect.

You don't even enter your dropbox password into the app unless you're storing it as a credential, they present an authentication dialogue for the dropbox API just like all other third-party apps accessing Dropbox and store the OAuth key on the client. Not the server. That's why you have to re-authenticate with dropbox on every device you want to set up 1Password sync.
> To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

RMS a nag? No way, I can't possibly believe that.
What are you talking about? No it didn't. It came with an adapter that has a female 3.5mm headphone jack on one and and a male Lightning adapter on the other end to allow you to connect headphones with a 3.5mm connector to your Lightning-only iPhone 7. To connect to a 2016 MBP, you would need the opposite—a cable which does not currently exist.
Mapbox | ONSITE in Washington D.C. or Berlin, Germany | Systems Engineer - Directions | Full-Time | http://www.mapbox.com/

The Directions team at Mapbox is looking for someone to help grow our navigation platform infrastructure. We have a core group working on routing algorithms and traffic data analysis, and we need help growing the infrastructure that runs that code (we develop and make heavy use of http://project-osrm.org/).

We use nodejs and AWS services extensively for our infrastructure, so familiarity with those tools is a plus, but by no means a requirement. We like adaptable people who aren't afraid to learn new skills, and bring new perspectives to the table.

A bunch more details at: https://www.mapbox.com/jobs/553439/ or hit me up with any questions.
