> Despite no fewer than 6 attempts to patch the Open S3 Bucket problem, it remains. You can't patch people--legally, anyway.

Heh, I use S3 for hosting static sites only.

2 weeks ago they sent an email saying "[...] your AWS account xxxxxxxx has one or more S3 buckets that allow read or write access from any user on the Internet."

And I go "oh shit, what has write access set up?".

But nothing did. When they said "read or write", they meant 1, the other, or both. They just sent the same ambiguous email to everyone.
Yes, It was noted in this thread few times. I'm talking about all other transfers, not EU-EU. Even then, the wikipedia link shows that one EU-EU transaction which involved USD, was affected.
> That kind of Ruby is pretty different from the Ruby one use to write applications like Rails.

That's fair. That kind of Perl is also very different than the kind of Perl you would use to write Mojolicious applications, or system utils, or daemons. Those features are very specifically for quick one-liners[1], and in some cases don't even make sense outside of that.

> I use Ruby for text processing now, because it's easier to read than Perl, but I loop on stdin with IO.readlines, each and split.

In a one-liner, or as a small source file? Doing that in a small source file is also common in Perl, but if you're doing that as a one-liner, I think you're not making it more readable, you're making it less so, as the executable/language specifically support features to make that easier to do which you're ignoring, obfuscating the important parts of the code with verbose obvious bits. It's sort of like making sure to spell out et cetera instead of using etc even when texting or using Twitter.

1: BEGIN actually has some important uses in Perl, but under the covers for most people, so they never have to deal with it.
Yes, and I could additionally filter the permitted traffic to/from the expected TCP port(s) and directions for each. But my current home routers are OpenWrt, tend to get reflashed, occasionally lose their configs various ways, and aren't documented as well as one would like, so I try not to add much complexity there. A little print server either works, or it fails conspicuously (unlike rules on my plastic router, which are most likely to fail silently). If I ever get time to build a bit different router (e.g., pfSense or atop a normal Linux distro), I'll revisit that.
That only allows you to use their options, the ones in the drop-down menus. OP's title refers to custom size options. You can't search for an exact size.

No I don't have examples to hand. Search isn't something I'm interested in really - it's just a kind of commodity to me that I want to get out of my way.

The trend is entirely clear for my search usage though - I just don't find what I'm looking for much of the time with DDG, so end up g!'ing. When that usage reaches a certain subjective redundancy threshhold I switch back to google.

Pode Vim, an album by Pedro Kimura is popular in Brazil.

Using git with vim also seems a popular search combo.

Personally I am amazed that the younger generation are keen to learn vim. I don't see why as I have gone the other way to only use phpStorm for editing in earnest. For me using vim for code instead of phpStorm is a bit like handwriting instead of typing, a definite loss of formatting and neatness.

The reason I find modern interest in vim so amusing is that there is no compelling excuse to use it. In the olden days when you had to queue to use a terminal in a computer room to enter code you had handwritten on paper there were no 'nano' or other editors, you had to learn and use vi.

I don't believe vi is quicker than a full size IDE but I still use vi, find and grep because I don't fully trust these new IDE tools and I am fairly dyed in the wool as a command line user.

The tools I don't fully understand are the textmate, sublime, notepad++ and other middling editors that don't offer the brilliance of vim or the possibilities of a phpStorm grade editor.
"Better" is relative. People will learn that by looking at what other artists are doing and figuring it out themselves, and they will remember it better for that reason.

Everyone I know who is into making music (which includes a large mix of professional and non-professional musicians) started out in electronic music by putting interesting sounds together, and then by imitating what their favourite artists have done.

What you describe is like starting out an art course by teaching students to mix colour -- describing the colour spectrum, which colours lead to what, etc. But really the students will learn all of that and much, much more by just experimenting with combining random colours and seeing what they get out of it, and sharing and comparing with the rest of the class.

I think most people have a prespondence to teach theory first -- indeed, this is how it is generally done in academic settings, but people tend to learn better practicing something first, and then seeing how the theory generalizes what they have learned. After all, you can't really learn something properly until you have experience with it.

I know this, because both of my parents are teachers -- one taught an adult class for decades and is now teaching children, the other is currently long-distance tutor for a university course, and has done/is doing art classes. But here, have a quote:

According to studies, students who practise what they’re
learning first-hand are three and a half times more
likely to retain that knowledge than when they’re sitting
in a lecture room, hand-scribing notes.

Even if you take trust out of the picture, this sort of nonsense leads to a crummy user experience.

The customer needs to download and run an installer, accept a license agreement and configure a bunch of options that have nothing to do with the primary function of the hardware, then they can configure the actual hardware. In the end the user will usually end up interacting with vendor specific (or even model specific) software to manage the printer or configure print jobs.

None of that is truly necessary. Microsoft can detect hardware and provide plenty of drivers under their operating system. The typical desktop Linux distribution can do the same. In both cases, the key are licensing agreements that allow for it. Those licensing agreements are much more flexible if the software isn't collecting analytics (either for telemetry or marketing).
This is subject to the specifics and execution. The likes of BitNami, NextCloud, Cloudron, Yunohost continue to operate, acquired or standalone.
I think you are looking from the wrong way. Imagine there is a language you don't speak but you get a phrasebook with 100 useful sentences. Like general experssions what to say, how to ask etc. Now if you visit a country where they speak this language it will be very useful. You don't know the grammar, you don't even know the proper pronunciation. Yet you already have a base to build upon and express yourself. This site is like that. You don't _have to_ know music theory and such to start making music. But that's not just the music I'd say the same applies to writing as well.

IIRC it started as a guy eating pizza in front of the sea. Later, when it got traction, he made his own company around the project and got external support of big companies.

I guess the long times to merge are because it is a very opinionated project. (But I'm not using it or following the details.) If you agree with his opinion you will be happy. If you disagree you will be unhappy. The nice part of open source is that if you disagree, you can fork the project.

Comparatively, it takes me about 20 watt hours to 40 watt hours per mile to get around in hilly Seattle at a cruising speed of 20mph to 30mph.

I found pfSense far easier to setup than OpenWrt. I've been running it on an Atom desktop for about seven years. I've updated more or less annually, and have only needed to tweak the configuration when I've moved.
> How does one mention Gitmo and forget about it in the very next sentence?

One doesn’t. Gitmo is a black eye on our judicial system.

But there is a difference between a widely-debated exception and a generally-accepted baseline. Gitmo is abnormal in America. It is a baseline for Xi’s regime.
Thanks man, I’ll give it a shot!
I agree with you but I would put it differently.

The notion that music is at all a grid is just ... not true. It’s true of a tiny subset of music.

I use ableton (and grids) all the time but this way of thinking about “music” is just reinforcing a weird picture of what it is.

Even scales and theory and even music notation enforce a confusing deconstruction of what music is.

But it’s really hard to articulate this.

I think part of your argument is security-by-obscurity, which is undesirable.
But the rest of your post still stands, and is almost self-evident-> best reliability will be achieved when it's engineered into the hardware itself. It the best way to approach the problem if funding allows.
Mainframe is really a computing cluster that does all the things redundant databases and other systems do, except it's implemented at the hardware level.
It takes a whole chapter to explain rhythm because I have witnessed people spend literally over an hour stuck on "counting out a measure" with varying note lengths. This series is starting where a from-scratch musical education must start.

An education for theory training does end up focused on note interval structures, and there's an endless amount to talk about there, but then, you don't need a great deal of traditional theory for simple songwriting - major and minor triads will suffice. This tutorial gets those but in my skimming of it seemed to stop short of trying to explain circle of fifths usage, which is probably the one most essential thing to make composition in the large go from "I have to guess and check" to "I have a guideline to work from that lets me calculate ahead."

Hey pal, do follow the tutorial. Music keys, scales, chords + progressions, baselines, melodies, etc are all covered with examples and/or exercises. It's not as deep as a full music theory course but I don't think anyone is claiming this will get you a music major ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

It even has an advanced topics section with an intro to pentatonic and octatonic scales, triads and inversions; check it out in the menu.

The USO is mandatory but isn't funded yet. So, right now the regulator would struggle to rationalise say, fining the operator for not meeting it when they aren't given any money or any means to raise revenue to provide it. But in principle if you can imagine the British government ever doing anything again except arguing about Brexit they might get around to it. Don't hold your breath.
Exactly. It even has an advanced topics section with an intro pentatonic and octatonic scales, triads, inversions and whatnot— a pretty cool and practical intro to all these topics IMO.

Kenton - You say we shouldn't rely on you to safeguard our data. How does this affect security updates? As it is, I don't put awfully sensitive things on there anyway because Linode still has access to it. But it would be good to know where to draw the line. I'm hoping that since you rely on it for email, you're gonna do basic security hole plugging at least?

From a network engineering perspective, there's a few other ways to check out a company. Kind of different from what a software developer would be looking at. Start with its ASN. Find the peeringdb page. Use the route-views tool to see how much IP space it's announcing.

What IXes is it at? Its IX presence and where the core of its network originated will tell you a lot about where its network is strongest. What kind of services does it focus on? Residential? Commercial? Carrier?

Does it have other ASes that are owned by the same company and are downstream subsidiaries? How many other smaller ISPs look like they're buying transit from it, or is its AS a stub?

Have you met any of the ISP's people at a previous NANOG conference? Do they sound like they know what they're doing? Are they building something interesting and modern?

Registration! Scary! It's an index-sized paper form you fill out. That's it.

Hey, Ryan, thanks for sharing. It's hard. I have some thoughts--you didn't ask for feedback, so feel free to ignore. Also feel free to contact me via my profile address. No, I won't be selling your anything or trying to make money off you. But man, do I understand hard times.

I anticipated being in your position when I was younger and my technique has worked repeatedly. I'm about twice your age and was never denied a job due to lack of a degree. That includes a stint as a full time employee at the original Really Big Tech Company.

My path has always been the same: get really good (top 80%, not top 1%) at something most people aren't good at. That way I can get a job regardless of my requirements. Back in my day that was assembly, systems programming in C, and the Windows API. Obviously not where you want to be today.

As I see it, you have some great resources. You're willing to be a little humble, you have a place to stay, you've got brains.

Have you considered contacting a few recruiters to see what they're looking for, then taking the time to acquire and/or sharpen your skills? These days I'm guessing it's something like C#, Python, maybe Go, but I'm spitballing. Point is, you still have plenty of time to get super strong at something. It may take a year, but it'd be better to earn $75K in 2 years at a job in Minnesota than languish at a dead end gig now.

Another reason to get excellent at something is it imparts a confidence that makes you more attractive. I'm fat and ugly but I pay attention to people. Being a good programmer and a rewarding listener meant I never, ever had trouble meeting awesome women

My very best to you. That can't have been fun to share.
I think the problem is that there is much more emphasis on the technology stack and trendy patterns than there is on the actual product. When I build software, I build it for a purpose and it is designed for maintainability. I'm not doing it just to play around with a new toy. But it seems most of the attention goes towards toys.

I swear, most of the ML projects I see right now are basically, "I totally figured out how to setup TensorFlow and stumbled on a large set of pre-existing training data." The resulting project looks unusable as a product or component of a product. And given the difficulty in setting up the environment and finding training sets, I have some doubts as to replicability or even likelihood anyone will try to replicate it. It almost feels like you could create completely fake results and nobody would question it.

Not meant to be a shot at the ML field, but more at the technology "community" that consumes this stuff. It's like magazine articles vs books. Everyone reading articles about books, literary critique, discussing authors and genres. Few people actually reading books. Fewer still writing them.
