Assuming you've got the Saville Row conduit cut back then and worked somewhere conservative (i.e. pretty close to Saville Row). Other than that, there have been a lot of fluctuations in male suit fashion over the years. Sure, it's not as obvious (no sudden harem pants), but one might argue that this makes it harder. Think of the business card scene in American Psycho and apply that to suits. Colors, patterns, shoulders (wide, narrow, built up etc), waist width, vents, pleats, cuffs – then add shirts, ties, suspenders, cuff links…

I agree, a Dr. No-era Bond suit is a timeless style icon, but if the rest of the group is wearing 80s style "power suits", you'd be the odd one out, which in some jobs would not be really good for your career.

Gamification of SEO killed online reviews.

More and more people are "understanding" how SEO works and they're simply manipulating it. By ranking early for a keyword that has yet to gain popularity, they stand a chance at getting a lot of traffic for a short period of time, early on. One can assume this is to earn ad revenue from the traffic but it's obviously not a sustainable method as the more reputable sites will gain favorable rankings quickly. These are the same people that will earn 100's of $$ from their website per month, and sell it on Flippa.com for 6-12x their monthly income. Then they build a new site, and repeat.

I am currently working in the automotive distribution industry, and pretty much any automotive site you find is using this method of maniplation. It sucks.

An example; Just type in 2014 BMW 3 Series, 2015 BMW 3 Series and 2016 BMW 3 Series to see people using this method of maniplation.
I use this mirror set up, but generally without over-the-shoulder checks. I can say that I've nearly hit people while changing lanes on multiple (but infrequent) occasions, when they were originally two lanes away from me, not visible in my mirrors, going slightly faster than me, and then changed lanes to the one beside me. They seem to sneak in during the second or two between when I first look in the mirror and begin the maneuver. It's a rare occurrence, but not rare enough for my comfort. I have my turn signal on the entire time (I start signalling when I intend to turn), and this still happens to me. I'm definitely going to start using over-the-shoulder checks again.
It's what happens when you sell tickets to companies, for a price that is too high, and incentivize people to sell to their friends for some bounty you offer.

The latter part certainly wasn't true. I can't share details but having seen the data, the number of attendees who came in via that method was pointlessly low from my POV. Perhaps it works well on other events, but I thought offering a plan like this on a first time conference was a bit silly.. who's going to refer someone to an event they know nothing about? ;-)

Were the tickets relatively high priced and primarily sold to company-affiliated developers? I think that's fair to say. That's O'Reilly's approach for its conferences. I can't change that, but I think it's a market worth serving in any case, especially as other audience types are well served by other events in the JS world.

Naïvely or not, I think having a diverse audience of both beginners and experts is a good thing, especially when those beginners were saying they were leaving with so many ideas and ambitions to learn about things they'd seen. Not every conference is aiming to bring beginners into the fold, but O'Reilly seems to promote this approach (consider they have a full day of workshops, mostly introductions to new technologies, so targeting people ready to learn is intentional from their POV, I think).

Disclaimer: I was a program chair responsible for getting the program right. Everything else is managed and controlled by full time conference organizers at O'Reilly, so most of the above is just my opinion of other people's hard work.

A quick check shows the cheapest sub-ATX machine on dell.com right now at $399, and they have a mini-ATX box for $299. Both are configured with Pentium- or Celeron-branded (the "value" lines -- higher power, some features like AVX and VT-x disabled, etc...) Sandy Bridge CPUs, not the low power Ivy Bridge in this box.

This really isn't a bad price for what you're getting, though it isn't out of range of what you'd pay for the same components (in a bigger box) from newegg.
Apostle's textbook sounds interesting, not that I read math textbooks for fun (or any reason at all if I can avoid it).

We were taught (retaught) Calculus in first ("freshman") year, first semester Pure Math using Spivak's textbook which starts from a set of axioms that define the Real numbers. While this is anything but historical, I think this is better because you aren't "explaining away" stuff. At no point were we asked to simply accept something (once the axioms have been introduced and exercised and, I guess, setting aside the rigors of language and logic).

We were initially taught Calculus (in high school) the way you describe -- series and then limits -- and it royally sucked (no-one understood it and it provided no historical context).

You say "pass the buck" I say "tell the truth." Heroku's current message says it's an "application error" even when it is not an application error. It is incorrect. And I suggested one simple way to correct it. They could word the message as they see fit, but platform_problem != application_error. What percent of customer grok/care about the difference is irrelevant... an incorrect error message should be corrected.
Firstly, there is nothing at all special or interesting about how flame removes itself. It deletes a list of files that the author knows they created.

Secondly, you have to remember that these companies employ many free-thinking humans with varied jobs and abilities. Among those are some skilled analysts who simply take apart viruses for a paycheck. A lot of AV companies have at least a few people who are best of breed at this stuff. They post writeups and share the work of what is interesting. Marketing is generally not involved in the technical blog posts that you see.

Samsung Galaxy S III With 2GB RAM And Quad Core Exynos Headed To Korea
Internally, we wanted a way to build and deploy HTTP services quickly and easily. We wanted them to be asynchronous and we wanted a DSL that developers familiar with HTTP would pick up on quickly, without a lot of additional research. We've been having a lot of success with the composable Futures in Akka 2.0 and wanted to set developers up to leverage the full power of the Akka toolkit (and boy, is it powerful).

It's much lighter weight than play2 or play2-mini (https://github.com/typesafehub/play2-mini built on top of play2). , but does provide some similar functionality. There's definitely a whole lot less code in Smoke. That may be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your perspective.

>Think about if instead of just one iteration of AES it were iterated a zillion times in order to make it expensive. That would be a complete failure.

I agree, and I don't think AES (or any easily invertible function) should be used to increase the work factor.

We have been arguing past each other. I was responding to a post that said ~'if you compose two functions and the second function is insecure, than the composition is insecure'. While such a statement is correct for compression/hash functions, it does not hold for permutations.

Do you agree that keys or peppers decrease the risk of passwords being revealed if the key or pepper can remain secret from the attacker? Assuming that keeping a key secret is much easier than keeping a bunch of hashes secret, which is a fair assumption, shouldn't such a method increase the security of the system?
I totally agree with the poster, but at the same time it feels a little pretentious. I think people might have more fun if they just hung out with people that make them feel good, which may include 'people who get shit done' or 'people who are not overly judgmental' or 'people who really like playing magic'. It's easy to get caught up in constant productivity. There is merit to the phrase 'stopping to smell the flowers'. 2cents.

Given that the question indicates that bit-shifting x would result in a valid answer, I think we can rule out floating point.
The Raspberry Pi seems like it would make a much more cost effective system for digital displays (1080p support + linux/Web backend) Having built several digital signage systems myself with off the shelf parts for < $200.. $400 seems really steep.
Congrats to the courageous - and experienced! - startup founders with kids and supporting wives - I wish them great success.
I had trouble following along as well. I think the gist is, 1) immediately re-compute strong hashes for all of your existing weak hashes. 2) when someone attempts to log in, try both hash computations. 3) if you used the old weak computation, re-compute a new strong hash.
Did I miss it, or did none of the investigating and none of the hiring of 3rd party firms lead to tracking down the attack vector?

int main(){

printf(".\n");
}

+1 I made almost the same comment. Raspberry Pi can do 1080p and since most digital signage systems are just running on web technology it can more then handle the load.
Ah, here is where implementation becomes important... not all of the authoritative DNS servers I have tested actually have this behaviour. So far I have found that BIND and tinydns don't send the A record even-though it is in bailiwick for the CNAME.

Thanks for the link.

I wouldn't want to rigorously teach Calculus using *R unless the relevant proofs are reasonably accessible (which, given that we're talking Number Theory, seems like a remote possibility), but it's wonderful how much simpler they make the arguments if you work with them.
Do tell.

UEFI addresses ARM, but also x86, AMD64, and Itanium (for whatever that's worth): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Int...
Even if it is required, some authoritative DNS server implementations don't, so far I have found BIND that came with FreeBSD 8.0 doesn't, nor does tinydns.

So recursors would have to account for possibly broken implementations and try the query anyway.
I love this story and I don’t care if it’s true.
Isn't the idea of IPv6 that we have plenty of addresses. Thus it wouldn't (read: shouldn't) be hard to get another address bound to your virtual host.

In fact doesn't the whole idea of binding multiple sub-domains to the same IP address (on the same port) kind of go by the wayside when it's free/cheap/not-going-to-blow-up-the-internet to get another IP?

I was trying to figure out Java EE, and wrote some notes on how the various pieces fit together.

My final note was "You don't need this crap".

Oracle didn't take over Sun in 2009; the takeover started when Java EE started taking hold. It's given the cool little language Java a bad rap and I'm glad to see some efforts to bring Java back to its roots as a lightweight and easy language in the Web development sphere.

As a chess-playing collegiate rower who likes engage in random debates with people, I think I've done all of the above :) Variety is definitely important to keep things interesting - I think getting stuck in one "niche" circle is fairly alienating - even if that niche group gets shit done. You start filtering people based on some common preconceptions. Being part of several different groups with differing viewpoints, on the other hand, should make you value individuality more and be a more rounded/easier person to be around.

Firing Ballmer would help. It's not sufficient (see above). It may not be necessary, though to my mind it is on the basis that people rarely fundamentally change, and a large part of Microsoft's corporate DNA is intrinsically linked to Gates (still Chairman[1]) and Ballmer.

the basic tips are:

- write in your own voice

- write often, at a regular interval

- bring value to the reader - stuff they care about, stuff they need to know, etc. learn, share, grow.

- take positions, don't be afraid to offend someone like that

there you go. this more or less works. ultimately figure out what your blog is about. the above assumes you mean "how can i get more readers and interactions?" but ultimately figure out what it is you want to achieve: visibility, knowledge, interactions, etc. your blog may or may not be the best place to do that then.
What Start-ups Need to Know and Do about Churn
We appreciate the uniformity of men's clothes sizes, too. One of the reasons women have to think about clothing and shop for clothing a lot more than men do is that we can't just look at the jeans in our closet, note the size, and walk out of any store with a pair of jeans labelled with that size and expect that they will be wearable. Women's sizes on labels have very little to do with the size of the clothes, even clothes from the same brand/store.

Fashions come and go more in women's clothing, too. My go-to dressup item is a navy blue blazer which is a standard that should be available all the time, right? No, some years standard blazers are out of style and cannot be found.

That's why all the work put in by the OP to find simple, classic styles is mysterious to many men. They can find simple, classic clothes that fit pretty much anywhere. That's a lifehack that's MUCH more difficult for a woman to achieve.

Parents whose own math education was more traditional believe [...] that the presence of weaker students [in mixed ability groups] will drag down the better ones.

And from the article: "no one will even remember what Microsoft is" I guess that assumes we'll all be dead in 50 years. Actually, less time than that. This assumes that at some point in the future, Microsoft disappears, and shortly thereafter its memory. After reading that I stopped reading the article.

The "i" does make a difference, sure, but not as big an influence as you might think. You can only put the "i" infront of so many words, and if you look at the initial letter charts, it's not massively dominant there.

Far more important, for instance are the substrings like "FREE" (which can apply to all things, not just computer related) and this has a couple of "E"s, or anything that has the "%ING%" substrings (which is a very common letter combination in the English language)
