Hi everyone,

I am the author of triggerFS and I am super excited as I am finally launching my new application I have been working on for the past 9 months.

triggerFS is a message passing and trigger system. You deploy "workers" on your servers and make requests to those workers. triggerFS means messaging in a service-oriented fashion. Every worker is available as a service. The workers make use of plugins written and compiled in go (golang) to execute any kind of task. Writing your own plugins is super easy and makes fun.

You can group workers together by using another feature like "services" (sort of proxies). You can loadbalance tasks, do them in serial or parallelized. The amazing triggerfs-cli module provides you with an interactive shell to configure your triggerFS platform.

Map your configured workers and services to so called trigger-files with the "fs" module. Now your services are available as regular files mounted on your filesystem with the help of FUSE. Writing to a trigger-file triggers a request to a service.

Build teams, join other teams, invite users, share resources and many more features.

Since you both use the same rule for taking steps then they will subsequently continue along the same route as your walker and so end at the same card

I just retrieved my father's 1965-ish Akai stereo reel-to-reel, along with two dozen commercially recorded reels. One of them is the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour. It sounds nearly identical to my CD - just a little wobble from the very very old tape stored in garages for decades.

I do think a lot of those tweets are a work of fiction, quite original and influential. And unlike a lot of Nobel worthy literature they are also quite entertaining and reach a wide audience.

So you go to a site, you enter your password, but then javascript creates a private key and public key based on the userid and password (which is a unique tuple). The key will always be the same regardless of the password.

When you first set your password, it sends the public key to the server, which is then stored. If that key was intercepted, it's not a problem.

Then the server challenges by sending a random code, which the client uses the private key to encode, sends back, the server then decodes with the public key. That guarantees that the private key is known by the client, and thus the password is known, but the private key never leaves the machine.

The second time you go to the site, you get the challenge, and respond. Neither private nor public key is transferred.

Do I understand that right?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good keepass client for iOS? Is MiniKeePass still the best option? I've been wanting to switch to KeePassXC + something for iOS for a while but I'm not sure what the best way to go is.
The simple thing to go about this is to make assumptions that do not always hold technically. And to be ok when these assumptions break - in this case you simply can't deliver your promises anymore.

Another way to put this is "shit in, shit out".

So: When receiving a filename that is not UTF-8, one could just emit a warning and ignore the file. That's what I would do if I wrote a music tagger, at least.

When someone else modifies a directory tree at the same time, we're bound to run into problems. That's just how it is. Actually there are synchronization facilities (e.g. flock()) for some of these types of problems. But these are seldom used because they lead to other problems.

I think they knew all that in the 70s, and just chose to be pragmatic about it.
I haven't received anything from github, but I use two-factor and oauth tokens, and I don't remember the last time I logged in, let alone changed my password.
These challenge response mechanisms still require a shared secret. This means the server still needs to know either your password or a hashed version of it.
TLS covers the problems a challenge-response method is supposed to solve. That is, TLS prevents replay attacks because the shared secret is sent under encryption.

Really, the solution to exposing passwords to the endpoint is to do key-derivation client-side, with a server-provided salt.

I also found that in addition to that even when the server was available I had a bunch of problems even getting it to start. Their customised images just seemed to not work that day.

Once I finally got the image started I then attempted a basic update && dist-upgrade and find myself looking at a bunch of errors, they had reconfigured the entirity of their image to point at their own caches, but thoses caches weren't there.

I finally contacted support and their answer was that this was my fault for choosing an old Ubunutu instance (I hadn't it was new ish). I went to the forums and all I found was people with major stability issues, problems with availability and broken images. They are cheap but awful both in basic delivery and in customer support. It is not worth wasting your time with. It cost me 5 cent just to mess around and not get anywhere and that was mostly a ridiculous bill after they wasted my time so incredibly and I never got a working box.

This is not a company worth dealing with.
Why should his wife leave?

Primarily because he is accused of improperly getting funding from the Academy and she was accused of enabling and profiting from this as well as blocking any further investigation into the matter.

There are also accusations that she prevented the Academy from looking into earlier accusation of sexual harassment against her husband, but that is secondary.
Oh man. The subway ads for this shit are so annoying. At least there was comedy value in the sketchy lawyers and plastic surgeons. If I see another ad for a boring ass household sundry that has been "reimagined", I think I'll puke.

IP addresses alone are not personal data. They're only personal data if they can be used to identify a natural person.

If someone is gathering and storing email addresses and ip addresses it seems reasonable to ask them to take industry standard measures to protect that data, and to let users know that the data is being collected.

Oops, the $435 million figure is for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, my mistake. My point is that government should have no role in producing or broadcasting what purports to be news. Journalism was called "the Fourth Estate" for a reason, but has lost any credible claim to that title during my lifetime. Public funding for "news" is always a bad idea, and in the U.S. has created an interlocking group of companies (CPB, NPR, public tv, et al.) that are incapable of publishing anything that doesn't align with one party in particular.

For non-Macheads who are confused, this refers to the original HFS from 1985, which was replaced with HFS Plus in 1998:

> HFS Plus uses up to 255 Unicode characters to store file names. Allowing up to 255 characters makes it easier to have very descriptive names. Long names are especially useful when the name is computer-generated (such as Java class names).

> He did not look cool, he did not act cool, and the writers of the show did everything in their power to communicate "This man is a moral monster and a horror of a human being." Yet some people that I otherwise respected still identified with him.

That's because nobody starts watching from the later seasons, they start watching from season one. In the beginning, Walter White is an overqualified for his work, struggling to support his family on a meager teacher's salary, and then a cancer diagnosis kicks in. Everybody identifies with him because most of us feel like we struggle with unfulfilling work and with money issues, and then the cancer diagnosis is the cherry on top - how can you judge somebody who's put in that position? Who will leave his wife saddled with debt and put in charge of raising her kids alone?

Breaking Bad reminds us that in human psychology, first impressions have outsize influence over our perceptions of other people. Battered women stay with their husbands because they still see the caring individual their husbands were when they were first dating, and hold onto hope that somewhere, their husband is still that person; if their husbands were originally abusive in the first set of dates they never would have stuck around.

It's hard to say. Some employers will be pleased, impressed, and weigh in open-contributions. Others won't care in the slightest.

If nothing else I've found such things can come up in interviews, and be useful points of reference. It's better to say "Yes I've done XX, YY, ZZ and you can see examples in this project I published .." than to not have good examples.

I don't understand why the Nobel prize is so prestigious. It's the same with the Oscars: it's just some arbitrary committee of people somewhere that decide who wins it. It's not like your peers decide if you win. So why does anyone actually care about the award? It's prestigious because we all agree it's prestigious.
The Dostoevsky-reminiscent title is enough to sell me. I’m excited to read it.
Its name is "Karolinska Institutet", so you can't reasonably translate it to "the Karolinska Institute", because at that point the first part if its name is just an untranslated adjective. And if you arrive at "the Carolean Institute" people no longer understand what you're referring to.

Sorry for furthering the pedantry.
Good luck procreating without it.
I still doubt the Monty Hall problem (mentioned in the wiki-article). I understand the reasoning, summing the probability tree, but there are two ways to build the probability tree, with the step of reveal or without. Since the player doesn't know that step, why would it be part of the tree? Because we know the setup a priori, in a way.

I'm assuming the bigger tree is still incomplete. More levels can be inserted, reflecting the reasoning of the a priori knowledge. I assume the supposed advantage would thus prove to be imaginary. Or in simpler terms:

Normally the tree would have the sequence in the following order: box distribution, choose a box, reveal one empty box, switch choice or don't.

However, if you are predetermined to switch, then the order would be changed to switch before the reveal. Thereby, the reveal is irrelevant to the result of switching and the probabilities are equal again.
If you mean the web interface, that synced perfectly with the Android app for me for years, but it seemed like it stopped syncing properly sometime last month? (Is there a proper desktop app? I'd prefer that to the using my browser.)

Why not automate this?

Create a user with an extremely unusual password and create a script that logs them in once an hour. Use another script to grep the logs for this unusual password, and if it appears fire an alert.

Security reviews are important but we should be able to automate detection of basic security failures like this.

> It's just some arbitrary committee of people somewhere that decide who wins it.

The committee for the literature prize has contained some prestigious literary figures themselves, so it is to a slight degree a judgement of peers. Secondly, the membership of the committee has historically represented a high society that many authors have been members of themselves, or who hoped to have that high society among their audience. Go through the Nobel ceremony archives and you can see some writers getting quite emotional that they are there among the committee and the invited guests.
What a defeatist attitude. The people I know who "got rich quick" did it by providing a valuable service and working hard at it. I can't think of any in my circle who came from money.

> The rich are only rich because they steal from the poor, either directly by scams or indirectly by theft of wages and labor productivity. Capitalism unfortunately enshrines this behavior in the law so it's seen as a good thing, while a poor person "stealing" from the rich is seen as bad.

I think you might need to look up the word "steal" in a dictionary. That or you're deliberately skewing the definition for your own agenda. I'm hedging my bet on the latter.

The first definition provided when Googling "steal": take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it.

If a good or service is provided that is needed or desired by either a group or an individual there is a cost regardless of whether that cost is absorbed by the individual or group procuring the good/service (as in Capitalism) or by society. The provider of that good or service should somehow be rewarded or incentivized to continue providing the service so as to keep that service provided.

You made a blanket statement that "rich are only rich because they steal from the poor...". That's wrong, true in some cases, but far from a universal truth, if I'm wrong please prove it. If you're good a something society deems valuable, shouldn't you be compensated adequately for that? Should a good jeweler be compensated well for producing a necklace of spectacular quality if someone is willing to pay for it? Should a good neurosurgeon who went through probably a decade of intense schooling be adequately compensated for extracting a tumor? Are either of these people stealing from someone? The answer is no. They are providing a service that the recipient or society (in the case of universal healthcare) willingly compensate them for.

This is in direct contradiction to your point of a "poor person \"stealing\" from the rich", which brings me back to my first statement. You used quotes around "stealing" which deliberately attempts to invert or misdirect the actual definition of the word. Taking something from someone without their permission is "stealing", not providing a service for compensation. In the case of the jeweler, that jeweler bears the cost of materials and time the spent to both learn how to make the commodity when their product is stolen. In the case of the neurosurgeon, when their product is stolen, it's very equatable to slavery.

It doesn't matter what economic model you prescribe to, if people providing a needed good/service aren't adequately compensated, the quality of that good/service degrades or becomes non existent. Unless, of course, you enslave or force those people to provided the good/service, which is not what anyone should be advocating.

Cormac McCarthy has written some truly excellent work (though I find his output rather more inconsistent than some of his passionate fans on the internet are prepared to allow). However, his treatment of female characters (or lack thereof) is already notorious, and with current trends, I believe that this makes it less likely with each year that he will be recognized with this prize.

If you use these you can do two things:

1. avoid sending GA events with user data in them (e.g. user ID).

2. ensure your site doesn't have pages containing personal data in the URL path

Squarespace, Shopify, MailChimp, as hosts, should be providing their own customers with guidance for each case.

Unfortunately, as far as I've seen from Google, the guidance they're providing on GA seems to basically amount to "if you use our service, it's your responsibility to audit what you send to us", and not much else. Which is... disappointing but unsurprising.
