A "tree view including all the files" is a subcategory of "tree view". I'm not sure what it would mean to not include all the files, but apparently you are expecting some Windows-specific behavior here, and thinking that it is part of the fundamental nature of a "tree view".
12 years ago, people thought that location-based mobile apps might be a thing.
Right. This is the biggest problem with learning attacks --- the historical attacks no longer work, but they are absolutely essential to

1) get in the mindset of how to find and exploit vulnerabilities, and to learn from the masters. RTM, for example, wrote the first internet worm and one of the attack vectors was a stack smash. Learn from the masters, and how they thought.

2) Since today's systems are built with an understanding of all these exploits, you have to learn these exploits to understand today's systems. So finding an old linux kernel and writing a stack-smasher is one way to experiment.
Those paintings are great. I like both artists and think this is definitely in the court of fair use.
One more scam to be added to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scandals_in_India_%28s...
The MQ-1 has a wingspan of two dozen feet, and a service ceiling of 26,000 feet. (ten thousand feet lower than a 747) It's also got a pretty tinny piston engine, with a fairly distinctive sound.

Think more "cessna with missiles" than "RC plane".

EDIT: Just checked the wikipedia pages for both:

MQ-1 Predator	Cessna 172
Wingspan	8.22m	11m
Gross weight	1,020kg	1,111kg
Service ceil.	25,000ft	13,500ft
Cruise speed	90kn	122kn
No, I'm not trolling.

I just disagree.
If a $100 investment is truly all that's needed to convert a gasoline-fueled vehicle into a flex-fueled one, then they aren't truly locked in all that tightly for their 15-year lifespan.

The State of California could even pass a requirement that all new gasoline cars sold after i.e. 2016 be flex-fuel capable, and after i.e. 2018 that all cars on the road be converted to accept flex-fuel if possible/reasonable. Start collecting signatures for a petition to get on the 2014 ballot, and maybe we can get that first step accomplished.
Right, which for a reasonable user does mean bricked, and is probably a cause to send it back to the OEM. Personally, if my hardware goes belly-up, I'm sending it back to somebody who's paid to fix it.

"I have to send it back to the OEM" is "damage" as far as I'm concerned.
What happened with the Hacker News podcast?

I never use the column view. My Finder windows contain a hierarchical view of the contents of a directory; in Mac parlance this is a "list view," but I don't see any significant way it differs from what you are calling a "tree view".

Luck of the draw. Some, people's bodies are just better able to absorb punishment. My wrists will occasionally give me trouble but for the most part if I keep the keyboard low enough they're good. On the other hand, I can't do a significant amount hammer work because it fucks my wrists. They're just not heavily built enough to take that kind of punishment.

This doesn't seem to investigate tuning at all.

I see the Tornado script forks processes, for example, but it doesn't experiment with different values (or PyPy?). The Java code appears to be run with default VM settings, which pretty much always deserves some tweaks to run in a server environment.

Those are just the two I'm most familiar with. The rest seem to have similar faults. Plus, it would be a more interesting test if the server had to perform some kind of work. Simply echoing the request is not a typical usage and could really bias the results in favor of setups that would fail on a real project.

I better title might be, "Erlang wins unrealistic test over other VMs in their default configuration."
I never use facebook except for developing apps that clients want. For me its basically useless, and I the only "social network" I actually use is github if it can be called one.
Very good point. Are there any indications that this is happening?
I don't have to be grateful to Chomsky for expressing his opinion, that's his right. I don't know what the Vietnam war has to do with the invention of email.

Generally speaking it is much more complicated to exploit these bugs than they used to be, but often attackers find ways such return to libc, return-oriented programming (which ASLR and other technology is designed to combat) or things like heap spraying.
You don't seem to understand what I said.

Dawkins is another example of the old scientist pattern - many successful and famous scientists do the work they're academically known for early, then shift into topics outside of their original area. It's quite natural.

The link was from fans of Chomsky's and simply illustrates that he has shifted his attention away from linguistics for many decades now. This is not uncommon in science and it isn't some kind of slam on Chomsky.
Thanks for the comment!I just downloaded the Bash source from GNU. Its on my next to read list :)
The prices that go on in these markets make any of those reasons fall pretty blatantly on their face. Just like someone wanting to buy 100 AK-47s is also certainly not going to use them to just take to the range.

You said he was a linguist. I said that he hasn't done a lot in linguistics for many years now, which is true. I wasn't picking on Chomsky for being political.

Even much of his work in linguistics was polemics - the famous review of Verbal Behavior is pure polemics.

edit: and in interviews Chomsky has said that he felt a lot of this work had an essentially political purpose - talking about some nexus between Continental-style rationalism and opposition to totalitarianism, with which he associated the behaviorists
It may make you laugh and there are serious offenses (cough wikileaks cough) but freedom of speech and of political opinion IS taken seriously, opponents are not "disappeared" on a regular basis in EU and US and they do not outlaw means to circumvent surveillance.
Chomsky is old in the same sense that Dawkins is old and many others are old, namely that they are retired famous scientists who made their name a long time ago and now mostly focus on other topics.
Plain text also "can be an interface to an application layer" (see SMTP, IMAP, POP, etc). Your argument is meaningless.
A lot of it is an understanding of human behavior, right? Especially one of other programmers. I once had to find a file that a company was compelled to publish but then replaced with a different version after a certain time period. The company said that this was legally fine but rather than argue about it, I just looked at the source code and saw that the href of the currently published file had "2" appended to it, as in, "list2.xml"

I knew from past experience that the company had hired someone to basically just make a separate site to host the damn file...in other words, the PR department had minimal knowledge/care about the technical details of the website.

And knowing how contract developers worked...that is, they know that if their client no longer sees a visible link to a file, than that file has been "deleted"...I just tried something like "list1.xml"...and voila

I know buffer overflow hacks are incredibly interesting but how many of the most significant hacks have been done through plain out guessing the target? I don't even mean social engineering...take, for example, the update_attributes hack on Github's rails setup. The vulnerability was well known and dismissed., so the hacker guessed how a project team might slip up and perpetuated an amazing and thankfully benign hack.

So I guess, a good start is to just be a decent programmer yourself, and to have understood why you follow the best practices

This is almost identical to what we were doing at Bungie Labs in 2008, except Meteor is much better. Bungie suffered from defining their own language (they didn't think this could be done in JavaScript); having a proprietary, web-based IDE; not having self-managed deployments; and being too early in the market (and probably some other stuff, too).

Without auth Meteor was interesting but not very useful. With auth, though, it becomes much more exciting.
As for Icon, it might not be such a bad idea for folks to read about its interesting conditionals.

Chomsky isn't going to get a lot of power from anything at this point, he hit his stride politically some time ago. If you have read Chomsky's work from early academic stuff up through today, one unifying characteristic is that he is very good at polemics and very apt to it. That style is so much a part of him that it is completely unsurprising that he would use it even on something apparently strange like the invention of email. It's just a long term character trait.

If by any chance the owner of that site happens to come here and read comments, I have a question. I am reading on an iPad, and so your site decided to give me a special version.

I accidentally hit the arrow in the upper left corner that goes to a directory page for the site. HOW THE FUCK DO I GET BACK TO THE GODDAMNED ARTICLE? Your special iPad interface makes the back button do nothing, and there is no evident substitute provided by your special interface.

Bad timing, lack of persistence; We were working with a few app developers and had targeted releases scheduled for a month after launch day while we were trying to recruit new developers to keep the pipeline full for the next month. The day before we launched, Amazon released its Android market and started giving away one app for free a day.

Most of the developers we were scheduled to release ended up bailing to go to Amazon. I was the developer, and by launch day most of the heavy lifting was done (only took a couple weeks to build as I recall), but my partner was the marketing guy, and had all the relationships.

Right after we heard about Amazon's thing, he had some personal crises arise and ended up bailing. I don't fault him for it, as he had some decidedly real real-life family drama, but I wasn't even remotely equipped to handle the failure as I didn't know who had bailed or how to fix it.
I've always wondered this about vulnerabilities: how can one guarantee an exclusive sale? And why doesn't someone who bought it just go ahead and re-sell it to (multiple) others to make a profit?
The library/packaging system was a disaster - at least in the early versions.

Half the libs needed a source code change to the tcl interpreter. There were two main add ons (I want to remember one was called green eggs and ham???) which were incompatible, so if your lib needed A and another bit needed B you were stuck.
You may have fun building fuzzers. You just feed all kinds of varied, random data to your app. If you only expect numbers, try and see how your app behaves if you feed it large or negative numbers, strings in certain charsets.

You'd be surprised to see the amount of apps that accept a single non-breaking space (alt + 0160) as an username.

Don't assume that a disabled, unchecked checkbox in a registration form can't be enabled/checked.
Don't expect that you'll receive a value from a <select> element that is actually contained within that dropdown's options.

When your app breaks horribly, your curiosity will hopefully throw you into a night of reading and hacking.

You can read more about fuzzing at Jesse Ruderman's blog[1]. He wrote very interesting fuzzers for Mozilla's JS, DOM and CSS parsers.

Sometimes, a friend of mine would ask me to check out his project. I proceed to act like an incredibly malicious user, then have this friend get mad at me.

It all clears out after explaining that he would always run into someone trying to break things. Even someone just trying to get a laugh!

Let me share two anecdotes to illustrate, first we have old VAX parts. You know that architecture that Digital Equipment made around the turn of the century. During the big Y2K scare a lot of perfectly good VAX computers were dumped for scrap, I bought too many of those. But in putting together working examples for my collection I would have extra parts. Sometimes I'd sell those parts. I asked a guy who was buying a part from me for more money than I had paid for the entire system why he didn't do what I do and just pick up scrapped machines? His response was surprising. He related that he spent his time shipping stuff around the country, he made good money doing it. He used VAXes running his custom software to make that work. He spent his time doing what he was good at, and then using the extra money he made to occasionally go out and buy a VAX part. The money was fungible he could translate it into VAX hardware easily. If he subtracted off the money he would lose by spending his time buying up old machines and testing them instead of shipping stuff, and added back the money he saved by getting parts this way, he still came out behind just shipping stuff . So while I might think he was 'paying a lot' for a part, he was, in fact, saving money!

I think my guy understood very well that it was easier for him to trade stocks or buy and sell companies or whatever it was he did to make money than work for a fellow who was selling Macintosh computers. And he probably did enjoy his work. I agree with his reasoning, I was annoyed by being told that everything is for sale as if I have no free will in the matter :-)
Good old Perl Pie!
This actually isn't true. One can easily remove the "autopublish" package to disable the behavior of publishing all data to the client, and selectively publish only certain records to the client. Then, all client-side database modification methods can be disabled, and using server-side functions, an authentication system can be built and you can build your application's logic.
I live in Seattle, and had read some about this bill. The local paper supports it, and their latest editorial specifically argues against the idea that legitimate businesses have anything to fear: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/text/2018389853.html

That said, I trust the EFF and Internet Archive to have a better understanding and appreciation for these issues than some lawmakers who admit that they are specifically targeting backpage.com, one particular site that runs a lot of local sex ads.

Backpage.com has also sued over the law: http://blogs.seattletimes.com/today/2012/06/backpage-com-sue...
Brokering 0days - legal? yes. Risk free? I doubt it.

This will never happen. Microsoft is not a hardware manufacturer. Yes, they make the x360 and some accessories. That's it.

Besides they have invested a ton of money in the x360 and continuously push the x360's OS to handle media. Clearly they'd be stupid to release a TV that duplicates some of the x360 functionality. Nothing to gain.

I do wonder what they'll announce though.
Aalto Talk with Linus Torvalds
I think my underlying point is that it's fine to learn ed, but if the problem is that you are borking your terminal then there are actually ways around that. These days it should almost never happen that you are sitting around tolerating a broken terminal. This is not an efficient use of time. The actual modern use cases for ed are not very common. If you want to learn it just for kicks or because you think it's cool then that is another thing.
The random character situation is a false comparison since that is not the case here.

What exactly are you arguing for? My original post makes that point that this is definitely a violation since there IS exact copying of the CSS file. And yes, the copied Google analytics id makes it 100% sure.

We are then arguing not about exact copying of text but about very similar layouts. I am saying very similar layouts are not proof of copying. You are saying they are. OK. That's your position, I have mine. The arguments you have used are weak and rather than concede any of them when their flaws are pointed out you just start making new claims. Therefore this could go on forever and never be resolved. So let's end it, all right?

I do understand you are fascinated with this particular case. Let's talk about that.

I've never seen anyone file a CSS file with the copyright office, therefore it's unlikely this CSS file is filed. That means that, while their copying is illegal and a copyright violation, any lawsuit would result only in actual damages and not statutory damages, per US copyright law. (We'll assume this case gets filed in the US as claims with parties in two different countries are nearly impossible for small concerns to prosecute.) There are no actual damages though, so it's a pointless waste of money to pursue a case.

So what to do? Name and shame, what they are doing here. That's the best approach since they are 100% certain there was copying going on, and any reasonable jury would see that, therefore there is no risk of a defamation claim, they are stating facts.

Is this sufficient? I say no. Who is the person who lazily copied the CSS file rather than be a pro and write his own? His name should be disclosed publicly and he should forever be blacklisted from the industry. That's the way to do it. Who is their layout guy that checked in this file? They need to state his name and particulars so everyone knows to avoid him. His career needs to be over, permanently. That's how to stop the widespread thievery going on. If The Hacker News Magazine will not disclose the name of the person who did this and fire him immediately, The Hacker News Magazine should be boycotted, along with all its affiliates because such behavior can not be tolerated in our industry of creative professionals. If THNM agrees to fire him and disclose his name, and redoes their layout to be original work, then their inevitable CEO apology could be considered sincere. Without firing and disclosure though, any apology would just be an admission they are only sorry they got caught stealing, and such apology could not be considered sincere.

The approaches laid out seem reasonable, but it's hard not to feel as if the web dev community has moved on to using LESS and SASS as a means of addressing some of the same issues.
There are many editors which will do the job, it is a matter of taste. If you break your terminal by some obscure action, then fix it rather than choosing your entire toolchain around the premise that you will be spending significant time in a broken terminal.

I appreciate historical respect for the tool but this falls short of showing it to be indispensable to everybody.

I know I'm unpopular for saying this but I doubt it would work and by that I mean people like Guzmán will always exist whether it's drugs, prostitution, stolen merchandise or whatever.

Even today tobacco, mostly cigarettes, is smuggled and it is legal, people hate the high taxes implemented to help cover healthcare costs. The majority of legal drug (tobacco, alcohol) users it seems are low income so it would make sense taxes are a large part of the purchase price.

It's the same for alcohol easy to make and I think if I remember hearing it correctly from high school teacher that (here in Canada) the cost of alcohol is 99% tax.

Then people would say tobacco, alcohol, and probably drugs too if they are legalized should not be taxed so high, it's never ending.

If I said I didn't care if someone killed themselves using drugs that sounds callous but if I said I cared and thought people should not be able to use meth or crack then I'm told to mind my own business.

And people are living shorter lives due to morbid obesity because they can't manage to eat a healthy diet what would happen if drugs are legalized? People balk at taxing unhealthy food I can't imagine adding legal crack into that mess. People in the US and Canada can't seem to regulate their vices, I foresee massive numbers of deaths if drugs are legalized.

While it was a disaster, the current Tcl package implementation surpasses many other languages. It's possible to have multiple versions installed and have different runtimes choose a version they want. The biggest advantage though is binary version independence through stubs (http://wiki.tcl.tk/stubs). Compile a binary package for 8.x, it will work in 8.y where y >= x.
You might want to check out an Apple 'Magic Trackpad' (there are Windows drivers as I think you're on a PC).

I've previously used the 3M mouse you refer to as well as all manner of trackballs, larger mice, etc and nothing has done more to alleviate my mouse hand issues than the Magic Trackpad.

I think this is mostly because it removes the need to clench your hand around anything and it can be much more relaxed, yet you still have very fine control (I regularly use it with Photoshop).
Eh. Two much more important factors militating for clientside exploits:

* The client-side attack surface is, probably by many orders of magnitude in any metric you care to use, more complex than the serverside attack surface. Look at the kinds of libraries that have been long-term thorns in the sides of developers and security teams --- image codecs, font libraries, compression --- a big chunk of everything that goes on your computer screen can be influenced by attackers.

* The client-side attack surface includes multiple programming languages hooked up to anonymous content (the most important being Javascript), and so clientside exploits have significantly better tools to work with.

Not to take anything away from your point; I'm glad you're injecting some sanity onto these threads.
