While it is unlikely that this will actually happen you are still far from correct saying that this is virtually impossible, for certain this is possible.

If anyone here recalls the blackhat heydays pre-2003 you may have/have not recalled a group known as "Fluffy Bunny" that broke into (at the time) what were thought to be the some of the most secure box's on the net, a few to name were VA software, UU.net(efnet), (cross site scripting) securityfocus.com, sans.org, (even a site dedicated to making fun of and host mirrors of defaced websites) attrition.org.

Getting back to the original point I was trying to make, one of their most notable hacks was breaking into multiple Akamai servers. No remote exploits were used against Akamai servers, every computer they had access to at Akamai was gained through a patch version of ssh which recorded all users password before encryption and placed it in a log file within a hidden directory on the system, this patch was installed on every box they exploited, they got lucky when a user from the uu.net box logged into an Akamai box using the compromised ssh client.

So they have Akamai, now what? The group further infiltrated their way into Akamai's intranet and gained access to other computers on their network through social engineering. Finally they located the development server that stored the source code that Akamai used to update some 12,000+ high bandwidth servers they used. The plan was to patch the update software they used to automate the patching process to also include a rootkit&DDoS client. With this they would be able to control a ridiculously large botnet, joined with their already amassed 4000+ DDoS net from other compromised computers this would have effectively timed out all 13 top level root name servers. More then likely you can tell what happens after that.

If you were interested to know, these guys were caught out out of the stupidity of this guy.

Unfortunately, you can be totally sincere in your good intentions, and yet still repeatedly be wrong. When you are a high profile figure who presumes to advise others on the best ways to do their job, that makes you a liability.

It's a shame. Some of Bob Martin's earlier work exploring OO and the SOLID principles was quite decent stuff. But I think it's obvious at this point that he and several of his colleagues at Object Mentor have collectively lost the plot.

For what it's worth, this is just restating some research that's been ongoing since at least 2008. I think the final nails in that coffin were established in the "Summer of Research" in 2011. There's no doubt that the decline in editorship is due to endogenous, not exogenous factors.

The WMF are not "finally" coming around to this realization; they are trying to convince the rest of the community to make it a higher priority, and to publicize the efforts they're making to the press.

while this move by Adobe looks bizarre, I'm worried about the random numbers thrown up in the paragraph about revenue. He's claiming it takes $2.50 to acquire a user, leaving $0.50 for everything else (development, support, hosting, etc).

A warming of two degrees is not about us noticing (as in, gee, time for a tshirt) but about the impact on the ecosystem.

A lot of times.
and even if it were only 5 it would be worthwhile to make it easier

Seriously?

1. Install XCode and homebrew

2. sudo brew install {postgresql,rbenv,ruby-build}

3. Close terminal. Open terminal.

4. mkdir proj && cd proj && rbenv install 1.9.2-p290 && rbenv local 1.9.2-p290

5. gem install rails && rbenv rehash

6. rails new foo

Honestly, we can argue if this was 5 steps or 8. We can also argue if 'rbenv rehash' should be necessary (I'm not even sure it really is, wrote that down from top of my head).

But if someone fails on these instructions that fit on a Post-It™ then they should overthink their ambitions towards a programming career.

And if they run into bugs during that procedure then these bugs must be fixed. Because this is (and should be) the canonical way to install a vanilla Rails on OSX.

Agreed, but isn't this a good cause to fund to expatiate development.

A year or two back if you ask, "how do I built my bleeding edge web application" the answer normally was 'use Rails'. My point is the Rails has been sorely lagging behind other invitations.

This just feels like a waste otherwise.

As it's been said before, if the government (especially the US government) wants you - they're going to get you. For the most part, even servers in third world nations (where it would be perfectly legal to host whatever you're hosting) would still buckle under the pressure of a US-3rd world standoff. Your best bet is proliferating your assets to multiple areas.

Actually The Pirate Bay had an interesting idea about this. They are planning on launching their servers high up into the atmosphere. An elegant solution imo.

I want to bake NLP into an existing CMS, so let me speak to your point. To extend your idea, these tools should be much more modular:

Simple/Obtvse should be an interface for adding posts and editing existing posts. Similarly, a command-line-interface can also be used for adding posts. (`newidea "I want a castle made of marshmellows"`)

The site is stored in a database when live, but the database can be transformed one-to-one into a directory of human-readable Markdown or ReStructuredText files.

Rendering is handled by a separate component, e.g. nanoc or jekyll. The important thing is that the site database can easily be mapped to a human readable format. The advantage of this approach is that it is easy to write a modular rendering engine without mucking with the specifics of the CMS.

For example, I want to automagically categorize posts in a taxonomy, find related posts, group posts that are lists, etc. using some NLP wizardry. I would much rather write this application for a directory of human-readable files, adding metadata fields to text files, than paint myself into a corner with a particular CMS.

Please email me if you are interested.

I love stuff like this. If only there was an easy way to make 'GUI' programs Flash/Java might have competition.
I objected to the same statement but for slightly different reasons. It works when your project is of a size that can be done by a fairly small team that can communicate intimately and instantaneously at all times. We're talking 1 -5 people max. But what happens when there are 30 developers, 50 developers, or 100 developers. Without some overarching system of coordination these people will just be flailing around, constantly treading on each other, breaking each others stuff. Somehow you have to break it down and give people a way to understand what everyone else is doing, and that turns into "process". You can do it any way you like, but what ever you come up with is still going to be that evil word "process".

The problem is that said "process" then gets deployed in a cargo cult manner to any project regardless of size, divisibility, who is managing it working on it, etc.

I think good managers are more important than you suggest:

> you can request a transfer to any team that will take you

If you're trying to transfer because your manager is giving you crap, you'll find it harder than you think to get the transfer approved. In the meantime, your manager can sandbag your quarterly performance rating and taint your compensation and chances for promotion for a long time. A bad manager at Google is still a bad manager.

> Performance reviews are peer-driven.

This is partly true. Promotions are decided by committee with input from your peers. But without strong performance ratings from your manager and appropriate projects to work on, you won't get promoted no matter what your peers say. The committees are very reluctant to override the manager.
I like jQuery, though it's not a widget provider, Dojo I've consistently run into compatibility issues with over the years, as it seems a bit IE-centric and it's still pretty heavy weight. Although I did notice the newest version seems to boast a revamp.

I liked YUI a lot, and it's clear they put some really solid engineering into their framework but it's a rocky road for Yahoo and they haven't really been updating their api's.

I'm trying to reduce the number of dependencies and like the ability to only load what's needed for a page. Realistically though I am after the equivalent of ImageBundle in GWT, that combines images into one image and maps all the related CSS/JS refs to the single image map.

I'll check out Dojo again but I'm still curious what else is out there?

Integer Overflow Paper
When someone suggests energy, fuel, fresh water are in danger of "running out", you should ask them to sketch what they think the supply curve is for those resources. They have something in common: a horizontal asymptote. With energy, it's a virtually inifinite supply at a price somewhere between 1-2x coal (nuclear fission) to a conservative 4-8x (solar) -- this for existing technology, today. For water, such an asymptote is desalination cost somewhere around 1-2x treated tap water. Similar stories for fuel -- EVs are one asymptote. In the left corner there's a short slope with a cheap, very limited resource (coal, petroleum, groundwater); then at a slightly higher price you have an infinite supply. I interpret this as saying, in the worst case, developed countries' crisis amounts to trivial negative economic adjustements ("trivial" compared to, e.g. everything else that happens through 2050...); and in the expected case, pretty unremarkable technology gains combine with massive economic growth give you far more, for far less. (The "optimistic" case is singularitarian...)

Let me get this straight: so a prolific, proven open source contributor makes some money, and the community gets a problem fixed. This is a bad thing? Who loses here?

What if Yehuda's company gave him 25% of his time to work on open source - would that be different? He'd get that same $25k (or whatever), and the software would get built (and open sourced). Only difference I can see is the source of the money, so are you against the idea of companies letting their devs work on open source?

There's this attitude in the open source world that somehow developers getting directly paid for open source is evil. This is -- excuse me -- fucking bullshit. I can't think of anything better than the idea of developers getting paid to write open source software. We need to grow the hell up and understand that paying developers to write open sourced software is a good thing -- open source devs get money, and the community gets software. Again, who loses?

I don't use Rails, and I probably never will, yet I kicked in some money to help see this through. I can think of about a million worse ways I could have spent that cash.

I could not possibly agree more.

Like many early Agile adopters I have been shocked and saddened by what it has become. I think the problem is that brainfucked corporate IT programmers (Java, .NET, whatever) have jumped on the bandwagon and driven it into the sea.

I was recently smacked around the head by this in a meeting about how a team was going to implement Jira ticketing to help improve their development process. I am not sure entirely what I was expecting, but I was totally, totally unprepared for the mind-stunning crap that I got - an endless series of slides of things called "workflows" which apparently document the life-cycle of a ticket and need to be mapped out in excruciating gory detail. I decided to raise my hand and ask a simple question "how do I just raise a ticket and assign it to someone" - the presenter gave me this kind of stunned "why would you want to do that??" look and explained that it doesn't work that way, first you need to assign everyone into teams and roles (like tester, developer etc), and then the workflow will decide where the ticket goes based on the kind of ticket and it's status. Mind blown. I could almost appreciate how such system might be of use on a really large project where you don't know and interact with most project members directly - they had a team of 8 people including testers and analysts. And in their minds they were doing Agile.

In another case I was arguing for the use of the Jira Fisheye plugin to enable meaningful access to VC to enable things like code review and release diffs and the like. The so called "Agile practitioners" had a different idea however - they were keen on a different plugin called Greenhopper which apparently does Agile process management and the like. I knew something was wrong when it was mentioned that it does nice Gantt charts. I probed a little deeper into why they didn't see the value in Fisheye and found that their actual VC practices were a joke - ludicrously large commits with minimal comment just before a release, no consistent release tags, broken commit history (they seemed to be deleting and re-creating their trunk after every release...what I don't even...). Advanced process/project management techniques over getting the basics like VC right? That doesn't sound like Agile in any universe I am familiar with.

I really struggle to think of any other examples where a worthy movement has been so thoroughly corrupted and debased into something almost diametrically opposed to it's original vision. Fuck Agile programming and what it has become. I think I'll stick with being a Pragmatic programmer.
I was really responding to mgkimsal, who brought up elegance. I'm all for experimentation, I am not for technical debates short on technical content. Please continue.

It's because of implementation. Both Haskell and Go give you limitless concurrency, and you can break out bits of code really easily (due to FP/sparks, and corresponding interfaces/goroutines). Of course Haskell also has much stronger typing, but Go is much easier.

Richard Clarke's take:

“The U.S. government is involved in espionage against other governments,” he says flatly. “There’s a big difference, however, between the kind of cyberespionage the United States government does and China. The U.S. government doesn’t hack its way into Airbus and give Airbus the secrets to Boeing [many believe that Chinese hackers gave Boeing secrets to Airbus]. We don’t hack our way into a Chinese computer company like Huawei and provide the secrets of Huawei technology to their American competitor Cisco. [He believes Microsoft, too, was a victim of a Chinese cyber con game.] We don’t do that.”

“What do we do then?”

“We hack our way into foreign governments and collect the information off their networks. The same kind of information a CIA agent in the old days would try to buy from a spy.”

“So you’re talking about diplomatic stuff?”

“Diplomatic, military stuff but not commercial competitor stuff.”

if you have your own mailing list, emails work very well (it's double-opt in).

My ex-boss bought $5000 worth of mailing lists against my advice. The result was a .0001% click through rate and a banning from our server provider.

Unless the lists are tailored to your industry and you know exactly how they were obtained (which is nearly impossible), it's not worth it.

You can try to advise your client. But like my boss, they may just need to make the mistake themselves.
