Neat idea, but it would be easier to stop everything and sit and relax if one didn't have to press the spacebar continually. ;)

I have a playlist of soft jazz music, and sometimes when I need a break, I will load it up and adjust the volume in iTunes so that it sounds low and distant. Then I'll pull up rainymood.com in the browser, flip off the overhead office light, and go sit on the couch (my office has a couch) for a few minutes with my eyes closed.

With the combination of soft jazz + thunder storm + darkness, I find it hard to stay stressed about anything for too long. Of course, real rain is better, but this still works surprisingly well.

The only (slight) downside is that every time I'm finished with this little exercise, I'm left with the urge to write a 1950's detective story....

This is exactly what they said on their blog post:

Long term archival data is different than everyday data. It's created in bulk, generally ignored for weeks or months with only small additions and accesses, and restored in bulk (and then often in a hurried panic!)

This access pattern means that a storage system for backup data ought to be designed differently than a storage system for general data. Designed for this purpose, reliable long term archival storage can be delivered at dramatically lower prices.

This is a very good player for Mac.

I've so far tried Cog, iTunes, Winamp for Mac, Fidelia and a couple of other ones (Songbird).

All fail on either two things:
1) FLAC support
2) Ability to handle a very large collection effortlessly, and easily (scan & import, search & play)

On Linux and Windows I've been spoilt for choice with players, but iTunes dominance on Mac has meant that few players have matured enough to offer a compelling alternative.

With Enqueue it's as if you've been doing this maturing in private and now have arrived with all of the basic requirements taken care of and done well. You've nailed all of the core expectations without being distracted by bells and whistles (just take a look at Fidelia's UI and then remember it fails to import more than a couple of thousand tracks per import cycle - they missed what's important, getting your music in there in the first place).

So well done, seriously well done. If I hadn't just put myself on a literal ramen-budget diet I would right now be trying to badger you for your paypal to send you some money.

More than anything, you've just made my experience of being on a Mac considerably better.

Charlie is one of the founders of the controversial "no more free bugs" movement.

The amount of skill necessary to identify AND exploit bugs is so great that the bug reports themselves have value,far beyond attribution in the patch notesand a T-Shirt. This is especially true when there is in fact a lack market of bad people willing to pay good money for 0 day vulns.

thus, reporting vulns that way doesnt necessarily make sense. Charlie's walking a fine line: He is not a BadGuy, but he also isn't giving away security consulting to companies with 200 billion market capitaliazations. Apple should pay him good money to look at this stuff. Otherwise, its going to be only BadGuys.

> if you're using a disproportionate amount of cell data compared to the rest of the community, they can boot you.

Sounds like a simple prisoner's dilemma, with the "selfish" incentive driving people to lower the total consumption. Of course, the prisoner's dilemma only has the optima it does because of a lack of shared information; people can cooperate when they can strategize in some out-of-band way.

For this service, the "cooperation" strategy would entail everyone conspiring to drive the average up, so that the service provides more to everyone without anyone in particular having a "disproportionate" usage.
The truth even if it causes some harm, is always infinitely better than a lie, even if it helps someone. That is my position.

>But isn't the SSH private key also stored in plain text?

no, passwording the key encrypts it

>I mean, yeah, you could also have a password for that key, but then most people use ssh-agent because typing that key every single time is annoying, which means the password is somewhere in memory.

ssh-agent does not expose the private key to clients requesting it, thats part of its design, you can however get a login session to whatever hosts it holds keys for.

> Or you could just install a keylogger on it and wait for the user to login.
> Isn't that still security by obscurity?

That is much more involved than a hit and run attack where you download the DB, and much more likely to be detected/detectable before any harm is done, via such things as IDS, or just plain not possible due to how a system is locked down (stuff like ssh gateways that are heavily secured, etc).

All this stuff is besides the point anyways, bcrypt/hashed passwords are not about protecting your system from active compromise directly, but its about limiting the damage such compromises can do.

>relying on the slowness of an algorithm like bcrypt

the point of bcrypt isnt JUST that it is slow, its that each step requires the data from the previous step, many thousands (or tens of thousands, or even millions) of times over, that makes it impossible to parallelize across many GPU cores or similar arrangements, thats a huge part of the weakness of stuff like plain hashing/salting, its trivial to parallelize and to scale up that parellelization till you are generating billions, or even trillions of hashes a second, that approch is totally useless on bcrypt.

Another important factor in bcrypt is that you can up the amount of rounds trivially without having everyone reset their passwords, so your password DB can get stronger as technologies advance.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch) is a real problem. Estimates put its size between 270,000 sq miles 5,800,000 sq miles of floating trash, most of which is plastic. It pollutes the water, kills marine life, and introduces toxins into the food chain which can end up on your dinner plate.

Saying 2000 bottles is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things is shortsighted and irresponsible. Millions of tons of garbage doesn't appear in the ocean for no reason. It exists because everyone thinks to themselves "hey, the ocean is a really big place... what harm does a few bottles really have?" The problem is only getting worse, and after all.. we haven't had plastics for that long.

There's no justification for throwing plastic bottles in the ocean. It doesn't improve the environment in any way, but it currently negatively affects hundreds of species.
Redis: Zero to Master in 30 minutes
By the way, despite there being PLENTY of bug trackers out there, most of the people I talk to are not satisfied with the bug tracker they use.

I've noticed this as well. In general, there seem to be some kinds of tools which are very personal. Issue trackers, TODO-lists, notebooks. I'm pretty sure it is impossible to satisfy everyone with a single tool. Everyone wants to optimize it for themselves.

In these cases I think a decent solution would be to make a general backend service and well-defined data format (for interchangeability) but make it easy to add customized (their own or third party) frontends/skins by individual users.
I agree especially with #4. The cursing ripped me from my quiet place.

Their architecture page seems to confirm this. It seems that their service is explicitly designed to have different performance characteristics from Amazon S3, so maybe they aren't quite a direct competitor to S3, but there are probably a lot of people using S3 for the use cases that Nimbus.IO claims to do better on, simply because S3 was available at the time.

>To add, I think being rich is overrated, and that it isn't a coincidence that the biggest influencers and successes in our industry don't care about money.

The biggest influences and successes in our industry don't care about money after they have their FU money. I wouldn't either! Ironically, this tells me that being rich is absolutely not overrated but really important if you ever want to be able to forget about money.
in general I don't think it makes that much of a difference.
find what works for you.

(ruby-debug, for example, doesn't feel like a big, heavyweight sledgehammer, so you might just wanna try it out.)

for me, it depends on the complexity of the problem.

when there's something wrong and I have absolutely no idea where to start (which is a bad sign anyway :) ), using the debugger is easier than scattering print statements all over my code. but when one print() will probably tell me what the problem is, I don't bother using the debugger.

(… and thanks for reminding me to learn how to use ruby-debug.)
