Fair point but if someone is using non-default names then they presumably had to deal with ssh config files too.

I'd expect such users to have just enough familiarity with ssh keys to know how to check them (though I could be wrong).

Edit: Also, GitHub's setup guide explicitly leads to rsa keys so anyone using dsa keys consciously made that choice http://help.github.com/mac-set-up-git/

What the Frack is in That Water?
It's 'the new iPad', not the iPad 3. Apple is evidently going to follow the same pattern as it does with its computers and is doing away with a sequential numbering system.

So the next iPad will also just be 'the new iPad' the same way that every year we see 'the new MacBook Pro'. The iPhone will probably follow suit.
Apple store seems to be down
I've modelled our arcade from Youtube, Youtube plays videos straight away. Do you think it's different?
In one of the videos they mentioned it as the "third generation." Seems like they're just asking for confusion though.
I expected this to be a Coding Horror for bad recruiters. Now that would be interesting :)
Makes sense. It's not like we call the Macbook, Macbook Pro, or iPod by version numbers. Instead, at least browsing on Craiglist, it's usually by years (for laptops) and generations (for iPods)
I have a common settings.py file which starts with:

ROOT_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
configs = {
'/path/to/my/local/dev/folder': 'alex',
'/var/www/www.mywebsite.com/test/private/django/mywebsite': 'test',
'/var/www/www.mywebsite.com/prod/private/django/mywebsite': 'prod'
}
config_module = __import__('config.%s' % configs[ROOT_PATH], globals(), locals(), 'mywebsite')
for setting in dir(config_module):
if setting == setting.upper():
locals()[setting] = getattr(config_module, setting)

Then I have alex.py, prod.py and test.py all in a config subfolder. All under version control, with my settings.py automatically choosing the right environment based on where it's deployed to.
I think it IS all just marketing...Im sure a company that size can update a product on a website without going offline if they really wanted to
We just use the XMPP support and Pidgin for linux.

No images or file transfers, but it's pretty pain free.
You can also iterate over all the public keys in ~/.ssh:

for f in ~/.ssh/*.pub; do ssh-keygen -lf $f; done
Also, it could be that the 'real' civilization is not simulating the entire universe, but rather just the solar system and simulating the light entering the solar system from outside the solar system, substantially reducing the computational complexity of the simulation.

Still, modeling every living being as a sort of cellular automaton and running the simulation would take a lot of quantum computers. What would be the computational complexity of modelling the consciousness of a human being?
You could delay the display of the color pattern until the user has stopped keying for a second or so. That way, the shoulder surfer would not get incremental versions to work from, unless the user types really s l o w l y.
Security and Trade Secrets are my major concern as well. Meta data could mean "gmail message ID", but it could also mean "all header info, including message title & users emailed." Of course, that's in addition to the value of the additional data (box title, notes, "deal size") that streak is being used for.

Privacy policies are not very comforting on their own... Heck, "everyone" has one! I might suggest some more details, perhaps on your website, to satisfy wavering customers. So far there isn't much to make a businessperson feel comfortable.
I guess people with strong (not necessarily formal) business background are mostly the non-technical cofounders.

Does this not include an update to iOS?
It should be noted that the limited data plans for both AT&T and Verizon mean that at the max 4G speed of 73 Mbps, you could use all your bandwidth for the entire month in less than three and a half minutes (2 GB plan).

The overages of $10/GB per month on both services mean once you go over your plan, you'll be looking at a little over $5/minute in new charges.

It is possible (though highly unlikely) to rack up over $200K/month in bandwidth charges if you managed to find an empty 4G cell for a month.

Sadly Sprint, which has unlimited 4G last i checked, was absent from the release of the new iPad.
Nothing mentioned about Siri. That is surprising, because I thought that inclusion would be a slam-dunk.
ODBC is fairly complex (both to work against and to implement providers for) and is very much tied to relational databases.

It's also unevenly implemented: On Windows there's native Microsoft-provided ODBC (but in terms of focus it has been superceded by ADO, which superceded OLE DB, which was supposed to be the replacement for ODBC — it's not like Microsoft ever settles on a single technology), and on Unix there's UnixODBC. I don't know about the driver quality; I suspect Windows ODBC drivers are quite good, whereas JDBC has been favoured by the server/enterprise world for a while, and I would not be surprised if UnixODBC drivers were a bit behind the times.

As for the Borland dev tools, they also used their own proprietary data source tech: The BDE (Borland Database Engine), which had an ODBC bridge built in. I remember being quite fed up with the BDE at the time, and eventually started using a set of native ODBC components that someone developed.

Cocoa does have a sort of rich data framework that you refer to: Core Data. Unfortunately it's quite complex, and not really designed to be a common interface to databases, but rather a sort of data abstraction layer where you work with objects and never see any SQL.
It was briefly online after the event, but it was hammered with requests, so they've shut it down again. Maybe they're just throttling the traffic so not anyone can get it, or maybe they took it down completely to do some magic to better handle all the traffic.
This. The choice is not often between "custom, distinctive looking design" and "boring standard design", but between a standard design or theme and someone using comic sans and a windows 'hotdog' theme for inspiration.
A better idea would be a site dedicated to rating recruiters and recruiting agencies. That way you can democratize the process and get a feel for the average experience.
IPad 3
Seems to have worked ok with the iPod ("generation") and their PC line (generally referenced by year of refresh). A bit confusing now when they're doing the transition from "2" to numberless which the first one was but in the long run it will pay off. I suppose they'll just keep calling it "new" to differentiate.
People tend to overestimate the change that can happen in 50 years and underestimate the change that can happen in 10 years. The overestimation is an interesting one, it is an overestimation of how consistent future trends will be with current. It is impossible to know in detail what the future of engineering and science will entail. It is possible to know the general outline of the next 10 years but it is impossible to know which of those changes will start an exponential cascade of changes and which things will be left to grow polynomially.
Yep, iOS 5.1 is out today as well.
I got my current job from LinkedIn, so it's not all crap from there. A lot of it is, though, so I would understand if a person wasn't patient enough...
I had the same problem. I emailed them to invite them to add that exact command to the audit page. Glad to see I wasn't the only person who had trouble.
Not exactly true. It supports dictation just like the iPhone 4s.
Hands On With The New iPad
No mention of bumping the RAM from 512 MB to 1 GB. Even my TF101 Tegra 2 tablet has 1 GB of RAM. I wonder how much the 4x larger retina display assets will increase RAM usage.

Edit: I guess it does have 1 GB of RAM. http://chronicwire.com/the-ipad-3-has-1gb-of-ram

I've been fascinated with that idea for years - multi-layer largely independent games that affect each other. I've been playing with the idea in the board game space, for example, having a board game where the players are gods fighting each other, being played at the same time as a board game with the players as men competing against each other, with events in each game effecting the other. Does anybody know of any games (board or other) on the market that operate like this? I'd be curious to check them out.
Sort of glassdoor for recruiters? I'd be good with that.

For a good nerdy time, check out the first implementations of glob and regexp. 20 years on they still work in modern Pythons. Soon after Guido decided to make globs a special case of regexp, and his elegant recursive code was no more.

They certainly mentioned Siri in the keynote.
Looking at that list, the thing that occurred to me is how one bad individual can harm the reputation of an otherwise OK firm. The OP obviously had bad anecdotal experiences with every firm on that list. Also anecdotal is the fact that there are recruiters worth talking to one or two of those firms (I've talked to them.) I don't know if my experience makes that firm good or bad - but I also don't know if the OP's experience makes any of those firms good or bad.

What I have done with my "awful" anecdotes was email back the abusive recruiter, and track down the person's boss (usually there's somebody on the web site whose email address you can at least derive.) In the email I say I'm going to start filtering all messages from their domain to deleted items. If the person doesn't respond, the boss usually does, and more often than not the experience is positive - and if not, I'll follow through and send 'em to the trash. It has worked for me.
I believe they started the keynote with Siri. iOS 5.1 is bringing Siri to Japan.
I thought git itself provides authentication and integrity? In fact, if someone modifies the history of a branch that will raise all sorts of red flags the next time a legitimate user pushes.

The 264dpi screen is a big deal. I was at a workshop with Edward Tufte this week. He extoled the virtures of using paper for information-rich data transfer. Having paper-like screen resolution is an obvious advantage for disseminating information.

I'd like to see a startup take on PowerPoint by releasing software to compose iPad-friendly presentations. Think one-pagers full of text, graphs, and figures. On an iPad they could be interactive, annotated, and linked together. Every iPad-toting meeting goer could scan a QR code on the way in to get on the same page, and then sit and discuss the content. Gone will be the days of presenters doling out bullet points at excruciatingly slow pace.

Having read Isaacson's biography of Jobs, it seems that Apple may be gunning to disrupt the textbook market. Having paper-like resolution is a great step in that direction.
I was surprised to see LinkedIn on the list. LinkedIn is _so_ much more than a job exchange. Everything from its Answers (which is often very good, if you scrape off the people who -- for reasons I cannot fathom -- answer 50 questions a day) to its Groups (varying quality, but worth it for the good ones) to just plain old "where's she working now...?" gossip.

Yes, I know why, but I was hoping against hope it would get a little lighter. But I didn't think it would. Maybe next year, when there's no reason to up the resolution.
I'm excited that they're addressing user complaints about 'content creation'. iPhoto looks particularly impressive; it looks like people will be using their tablet devices for more than just content consumption now.
Looks like the iPad2 is available for $399 now.

Well, you could legitimately use 2GB by simply purchasing a movie that they discussed in the presentation. A 720p version of "Drive" on iTunes is 3.17GB. Soon it will be upgraded to 1080p, which would be at /least/ 5GB. That's at least $50 in data for one movie, assuming the data plans stay the same.
Apple sells their Keynote presentation software for the iPad.
5% is pretty much for contract rate offset. But $100/hr is not an unusually large hourly rate right now for finance.

I'm curious what you want this person to do? If you're prepping for an angel or seed round, is there something unusually complex about your business that requires more than a proforma cashflow summary and a cap table? If not, seems like you're overspending for something that you can probably convince someone to do for you for free.

Try looking for an advisor who bangs that sort of thing out or already has one setup for a business like yours. For companies I've advised, it wasn't uncommon for us to spend 3-4 hours putting all that together one time. It's not brain surgery, and you'll be better off having learned how.
I wonder, how would someone interview a doctor. Asking him more of theoritical questions ? Or asking him to do practicals, which I believe might be completely off the books depending on the situtation :).
Anyways, there are
1) people who pass the interview very well, and cannot perform the duty on the job.
2) people who do fair on the interview, but are very well executors of the duty.
3) People who really become the backbone of the feature, and become the go to guy for everything and anything, they may or may not perform at the interview.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the nature of the vulnerability was that someone who's not you had to submit a page with certain POST variables they could have determined after the fact to be malicious while logged in.

So the fact that they're sending out this E-Mail tells us that they either don't keep logs on requests + POST contents, or that they haven't had the time or inclination to analyze this data if they have it.
This is a good point. I was really impressed with their GitHub Bootcamp [1], which made setting up the keys and getting started a breeze.

You are right. Same with asking password. But these additions are very sane.
Keynote is great, but it's still slideware. People need to think about the iPad as a printer for dynamic content. It's smart paper.

The demographic transition might slow population growth, but for how long? http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v460/n7256/abs/nature08... suggests that populations passing through the DT eventually recover and begin to grow again.

There's not a clear causality either.

Don't bet on this. If it happens, GREAT! If it doesn't, at least you won't be crushed. Success doesn't always happen the first time around. Sometimes it takes multiple plays before the jackpot lands.

But putting all of this aside, don't do it for money. Money is an important factor but as others have echoed on here, do it because doing what you enjoy/love outweighs what you make. Money is icing on the cake.
Interesting view from the restauranteur. I don't think Yelp would be wise to use his advice directly, though. Allowing businesses to opt out of Yelp would be a terrible idea, because Yelp is much more useful when it has everything. Also, there is doubtless a substantial amount of attempted gaming with the reviews, so attempting to catch this and filtering it out is very important if Yelp is to maintain a reputation of being a trustworthy source of reviews. They should try to reduce false positives, but saying they shouldn't filter anything is silly.

The implications of only being able to help the restauranteur with his bad reviews for money are really terrible, though. I wonder if they still do this after all the bad press surrounding that a while back.
Yelp has really let me down. I'm new to San Francisco, and initially used Yelp to help me figure out where to eat and hang out. Over time I learned that some of its 4.5 star places are dirty Taquerias that really suck, and some of my favorite places to be are poorly rated. (Note: I've got nothing against dirty taquerias, but the food better be good if it's a dirty run down taqueria with 5 stars.) I'm not sure what services are better than Yelp.

I've heard people say in casual conversation that Yelp is "over" and all the people in the know have gone elsewhere. What services should I be using to know where the best places to eat are in San Francisco and Marin?

Sol Food in Marin county, for example, is just worshiped on Yelp with 5 star reviews. But I go there, I wait in line for 30 minutes, get crammed in on a bench with 5 strangers, and get served a steak sandwich that's too tough to chew. What's up with that? I feel like I'm better off using Google Maps and just guessing than looking to Yelp for advice. Anyway, are there better services than Yelp to help me figure out what's actually worth going to?
From the license: "The free version of Unity may not be licensed by a commercial entity with annual gross revenues (based on fiscal year) in excess of US$100,000, or by an educational, non-profit or government entity with an annual budget of over US$100,000."

My reading of that is that it is the total revenue of the company, no matter how small the Unity project might be.
The odds are very good.
Such properties would be proven given only the assumption of primality. People don't actually deal with prime numbers themselves.

I'm really looking forward to the day that this 'business practice' of Yelp's comes to a broader audience.

While I agree that you can say this is a business model, I can't agree that it is morally correct in anyway, even in a world of capitalism.
It looks like they're just calling it "iPad" now on their website. It's an interesting idea; maybe they plan on always calling the current one "iPad", and renaming the old model something like "iPad 2012" once the 2013 "iPad" is released.

I disagree with the .sg suggestion too. Singapore is an ACTA signatory and the government is in discussions with the MPAA for tougher IP legislation (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/vi...).

It's still slightly lighter than the first iPad, so for those of us who didn't upgrade, it'll be an improvement. :)

The Apple Store was live for about two minutes but a DDOS from everyone trying to pre-order brought it down and they went back to "We'll be back soon"

The full version does come with a bunch of extra features not in the free version, so there are reasons to buy it even if you aren't forced to by the licensing requirements.
You're thinking of the iBooks app (seriously, check out the free apple iBook creator). It's very dynamic content.
Is it a good idea to check created_at != updated_at ?

People update public keys very rarely.
I would even say NEVER.

Just make an sql against your table to see what are the most possibly are malicious keys.

(i see no reason to update timestamps doing 'the trick'. I believe attackers didn't)
Good find. I use Gandi for some domains, and was curious how they truncate passwords (wtf?) so I tested it by creating a new account with a spare gmail address. The registration page says your pwd must be between 6 and 16 characters, so I tested what happens if you register with a pwd > 16 chars.

I registered the 26 letters of the alphabet for my password, and then tested re-logging in with the full 26 char version, the 26 char version + 1 char (a), the first 17 characters, the first 16 chars, and the first 15 characters.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyza

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

abcdefghijklmnopq

abcdefghijklmnop

abcdefghijklmno

None but the original 26 character password worked, so apparently they don't truncate passwords at all, they're probably just hashing it down to 16 characters or whatever in the database, then comparing hashes on login attempt.

Their support guy is just playing fast and loose with the word truncate.
Mmm, not bad, not bad at all.

It doesn't support alarms, right?
Right. These two companies have somewhat destroyed mobile innovation by being the largest providers of mobile internet and neutering their services to be almost useless outside of checking email and web browsing. Comcast is doing their bit with their monthly limits also. I say this with an "unlimited" AT&T plan where I've reached my monthly limit. Hitting my limit slows my connection down to a crawl (it's almost unusable, the connection says edge).
Ah, fair enough. It seems you can make a password field display the password after all.
I hate it that I can't watch the videos on Apple's website, and to me, this is just a reminder of that, oh why?
