One can try not to think, but denial is counter-productive. I imagine that the job market in Seattle in 1994 was in fact a lot rosier than it is today, and charts will confirm that. You don't think there's more graduates with degrees in Environmental Engineering today, swarming all related niches (because the unemployment rate is also higher)? The data confirms it.

Those kind of lucky breaks (hire you first and then pay you while you learn?!) just don't come around like they used to. Things were obviously not tough all over, like they are now. There's a mass of empirical evidence to show this. I don't why our elders continue to deny it (to their own future detriment!) other than so they can bask in their own self-satisfaction.

Not to say that time-tested advice doesn't apply. It does, but it just doesn't work like it used to!

Ask HN: Are linode IP blocks under yahoo block list
I have a website launched with linode. From past few days, I notice "Unfortunately, messages from xx.xx.xx.xx weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list."

I opened a case with linode and they responded back very quickly:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, we wouldn't have any additional information about why certain email services are rejecting your emails; you might want to contact those services directly for more information.

Users doesn't receive mail when they use yahoo, but when they use gmail, mail is in spam folder. What should be my next steps? Please feel free to suggest me some check list.
To make any consistent results, you need to couple to the RF ouput/input connectors. Nothing you attach to the exterior is going to do what you want - it will change some aspect of the signal, but so does any environmental aspect, including the pipe in the wall next to you.

The cantennas is really a waveguide. As such, it has no gain. What is being measured is the increase in SNR, due to a lowered noise floor. (Edit: to be completely fair, the antenna raises the signal and noise level.)

I think the OP is arguing that there should be a procedure in place, so you're not improvising, or making arbitrary rules that aren't fairly applied.

If nobody saw it happen and nobody knows either party well, I would say, record it and move on. If you have multiple reports, have a planned way to escalate, involving friendly warnings, going all the way up to removing the person and/or banning them.

Where it gets really bad - and I think everyone has seen this situation before - is when the guy is some sort of alpha geek, and may even be the kind of person that draws attendees. Everyone is inclined to bend the rules. I think that's why a standard procedure would be important.

Let's consider the "obvious" choices by examing the TIOBE top 10:

1. C - Not really the target audience of a tool like this.

2. Java - See above, plus plenty of competition.

3. C++ - See C.

4. Objective-C - See C, also arguably a bit of a niche (iOS).

5. C# - See Java, VirtualStudio dominates.

6. PHP - Yeah, right.

7. (Visual) Basic - Who are you kidding?

8. Python - Oh, right.

9. Perl - Only ranks high because of sys admins.

10. JavaScript - Already covered.

11. Ruby - Like Python, see below.

Basically your question seems to boil down to either of these:

1. Why was Python picked over Java/C#?

2. Why was Python picked over Ruby?

As for #1: the answer should seem obvious if you consider the category the three languages (JS, Clojure and Python) share. Plus, the market is very different and the competition is very strong and established.

As for Ruby: It's probably personal preference. There really isn't any objective reason to pick Python over Ruby or vice versa. The two are more similar than either of them would like to admit and they are perfectly interchangeable in most situations.

Looking out my home office window, I see nothing but trees. There's a thousand feet of trees in any direction before you get to the next house.

But I seriously doubt my neighborhood has become uber-wealthy. More like we just live in the woods. :)

I say that not to be snarky, but as a way of questioning the methodology being used here. How do you classify "urban"? What about locations where trees grow naturally? Is the relationship causal or just random correlation? How about cities that were built in a loose fashion in a naturally-wooded area? Those in the desert? And so on.

I note that one study showed if you wanted to find the most dangerous parts of cities, measure the density of liquor stores. I guess next time I'm in a city with no trees and a lot of liquor stores I'll know to be really careful.
1e100.net identifies Google's servers, not their workstations, so I'd say it's far more likely that either:

A) You have some unidentified script accessing your account

or

B) You visited a web page that used an XSS attack to intiate some type of account access that you didn't authorize

Neither case implies that you intended this access to occur. Web-based email clients are suceptible to all the same security vulnerabilities as other web apps. In the case of B, it's even possible that the XSS attack was against some third-party service that is authorized to access your email. I know you've said you don't use any of these types of services, but you'd be amazed what you can forget :)

I'd start by looking at what apps you've authorized to access your information, and work backward from there. You can see which apps have access by visiting the page below.

https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens

If you're not comfortable clicking the link, you'll want to look for the "Authorized Access" section of your Google Account page. You can get there by:

* Log in to your Gmail

* Click your name in the upper right

* Click "Account" in the pop-up

* Click "Security" in the list on the left

* Click "Edit" next to "Authorizing applications and sites"

Really interesting article and absolutely a fair point, but from the article itself, pass phrases are still better. Just not a cure all. The title ("... only marginally better ...") does not match the body ("... vast improvement ...")

The "30 bits of security" means the chances of a single guess cracking a four-word passphrase would be one in 230. What's more, the two-word phrases cracked in the study provided just 220.8 (or 20,656/0.0113) bits of security. Another way of expressing the same finding is that a dictionary of slightly less than 21,000 phrases is enough to guess the login credentials that slightly more than 1 percent of people in the real world will use.

To be sure, that's a vast improvement over the security of normal passwords. Analyses of compromised passwords leaked onto the 'Net, including a corpus of 32 million plaintext codes dumped following the 2009 hack of online games provider RockYou, show that it's trivial to crack a sizable proportion of real-world codes. A dictionary of just two of the most common passwords—123456 and 12345 respectively—typically guess 1 percent of login credentials.

Setting Up Your IT Team in Manila
An Essay on Criticism
There are OS X viruses out there. Linux would be harder because of an increased fragmentation and systems being more up-to-date generally (especially since linux is commonly used on servers, and thus held up to a different standard of security in first place)

On windows or mac, getting a virus to run is generally just a matter of packaging it with some downloadable software. In linux, pretty much everything is available through package managers. You can't just throw a virus into a torrent for photoshop or whatever.

That being said, I'm by no means an expert.

Actually iOS has more security than you could ever get on a Windows platform with an anti virus.

The only way to run executable code on iOS is to install it via the AppStore, to get to the App Store you need to pass the review process, you have to be really clever to be able to hide your malware. Even if your malware gets trough you are still stuck in your apps sandbox and once Apple realizes what you have done, they can remotely pull all instances of your app and the police will be waiting for you outside.

So virtually it's impossible to spread virus on iOS, an anti virus would be just crapware.
No, I'm saying that if you needed a wifi network for say a campsite or outdoors event, or even a private muni-sized network.

You would use a regular omni-antennae for local client connectivity in each zone then a bunch of these to provide the backbone link to connect those zones to some centrally better connected point. Rather than trying to do a pure peer-per mesh
Of course no single laptop model is going to outsell the iPad, that's not how the PC market works. Laptops as a whole outsell iPads by a staggering proportion, and that's not likely to change any time soon. Almost always (certainly more than 50% of cases) the iPad is a secondary computer. It's purchased by people who already have ready access to a laptop or desktop.

I'm certainly looking at this device (and others) for my next laptop. Guessing from your product allegiance, you might be happier with a Macbook Air, which is also a similar device (and much more expensive, at that).

I'm honestly not sure, I have no experience with Objective-C but just from reading I think you'll still need to write an Objective-C interface/wrapper for your C code before it can be interfaced with RubyMotion.

I'll repeat myself to ease your fear of the rabid hordes of malignant women who want to make your life miserable: "they can make clear what will happen if they get a complaint about you."

Of course what will happen from a complaint should take malignancy in consideration and offer at least some kind of right to respond to offenders.
Accusing someone of cultural bias always feels to me like a shorthand for "I want the last word no matter what". As such, after this post I won't be engaging with you any further.

Your two posts have different meanings, the first gave no cultural anchor when saying western schools were not as prestegious as the top Japanese schools, while your second one did. It's a semantic difference, but it matters. That said, in the scope of the article that is the problem being posed. Japanese firms not hiring based on talent and ignoring good internationally educated candidates.

As for your accusations of a western bias - you don't know Mr, you don't know how or where I was brought up so don't be so quick to fall on that crutch in argument.

The security via obscurity argument is floating around this discussion for years. And I don't buy it that OS X is not tested by malware experts.

I don't know who has read that reddit AMA of a malware writer but he stated that 90% of all bad guys can't write code.

And apart from that he stated that his malware can bypass anti virus software.

To get programs on your Mac that cause real trouble it's necessary to type in your password during installation. The last big trojan used a Java hole.

Therefore I state that Mac is secure enough for the average user as long as he gives no privilegs to obscure programs and does not use Java (and Flash?) in the browser.

I don't know how else you can get malicious code onto an iOS device apart from jailbreaking it, getting something through the App Store checks or someone getting it in his hands.

For the real bad stuff a virus scan won't help you, these bad guys know how to work around. It's all about the user and his knowledge about what precautions he should apply (not giving th device in other hands, not jailbreaking).

Are there ways to hack a phone via browser, let's say with a JavaScript hack?

Share my pain point: I want dead easy version control.
I am a research mathematician. I collaborate with various people on papers, around the globe. Math papers are written in LaTeX, which is basically plain text with markup.

When I worked for a software company, we had version control setup (Subversion), which was a godsend. It was a little bit of a pain to get going, but once it worked it was great.

I would love to use some kind of version control now. Nothing fancy -- for example, I collaborate with a mathematician from Japan, and I would love version control with a good diffing feature. I'm thinking web interface, we can both upload versions of the file, run diffs, choose which changes to keep and which to discard. Ideally, this could all be done from a webpage.

I know enough programming to speculate that this should not be too terribly difficult (although of course I could be mistaken).

Such a solution does not seem to be out there. Just this morning, I tried Github. It makes me install git first, and when I install it I get the following error message:

dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
Trace/BPT trap

Upon Googling and fixing that:

error: Cannot access URL https://github.com/FrankThorne/Frank-Test-Repository.git/, return code 60

What the f* is that? I could google that too, but I don't know how long it will take before it eventually works. I suck at system administration (and have more pressing things to do than learn it), and I have often found that "trivial" tasks take me several hours.

Subversion, Bitbucket, even Dropbox (on Linux), same story.

Now, of course, suppose I do whatever is required to install this, which is probably easy but could turn out to be a headache. The real pain point is that I then have to persuade my colleagues to use it, and if installation causes them any difficulty, then I look like an ass.

Almost no research mathematicians use version control. We all should be. The way to make this painless (as far as I can tell) is to make everything doable over the web. I would pay money to be able to work like this with my colleagues.

Is there something I am missing? Is there some reason such software does not already exist? If not, seems like an opportunity to me.

Relative to Ivy Bridge, the Atom core is dog slow. On L1 cache bound benchmarks, it's routinely about 2x slower per clock (it runs about the same per clock as an ARM A9, FWIW). And the size of the L3 cache on SNB/IVB means that many tasks actually get much faster, relatively, as they start to spill out of L1/L2. If all you do is editing, you really aren't likely to care. But things that tax the CPU, like big web apps, tend not to work well on Atom boxes. Atom looks closer to an iPad or a smartphone in that regime than it does to a desktop CPU.
