The best blogging platform is the one you'll use. It sounds silly, but what it means is forget about any that take a bunch of time to set up or maintain.

I think fully hosted solutions are great because you can spend basically zero time setting up and maintaining backend. Wordpress hosting is good. Squarespace also has a pretty slick solution.
Fiscal descrimination is still descrimination. Maybe Visa broke a law, if not then the law needs to catchup.

I don't have a Visa card since a year ago when the ticketing system was announced as Visa only, I didn't attent the games or any aspect of it and it put me of the whole Olympic event that when the torch, cycle races which were going past my house I was like meh and avoided them as Visa had put me off. I don't like credit cards as it is, but bias and descrimination is something I dislike even more and in that I did what I could.
That's not quite right. Most of the time, the people inundating you with emails are not the ones doing the screening. In other words, just because demand for programmers is very high, most companies haven't lowered their standards but have just put more resources into hiring (including getting more people to cast a wide net and contact as many potential candidates as possible).
How is that going to help? Are people going to be expected to use a unique username per site? And password recovery is still going to let someone take over.
My bank and a few other companies I deal with require some sort of pin/password in order to speak to someone over the phone. When I call, the conversation usually goes something like

"Hello Mr 67, before we start I'll need your pin"
"I have a pin?"
"Yes, when you set up this account you were given a pin required for phone access"
"Really? I have no idea what it is..."
"That's ok. If you can just answer these other few questions.

> 2-factor auth has been cracked before

I wish people would stop bandying this about as if there was an actual flaw in the 2-factor app or the protocol or crypto algorithms used. The linked breach was likely due to a social engineering attack on phone company support staff. Yes, it's concerning, and something Google and the phone companies should be investigating, but no, 2-factor auth wasn't "cracked."

Someone who's more informed than I, is there really a weakness in smart-phone based two factor authentication if you choose NOT to use the SMS or voice based backup, out-of-band authentication option? I'm pretty sure that is an optional feature of Google's 2-factor auth, with printed backup codes being the alternative.

Titan is distributed and has much higher write performance (5000 transactions/sec). In the words of Matthias Broecheler, the creator of Titan, you would use Titan to implement a social network (https://twitter.com/MBroecheler/statuses/213350753031569409).

Titan has pluggable storage options: Cassandra, HBase, Berkeley DB, and some have been working on adapters for DynamoDB and App Engine Datastore. However, it's not clear how well App Engine and DynamoDB will work with the upcoming Titan changes which will move the traversal engine into the cluster's JVM.

Both Neo4j and Titan support Blueprints, and you can run Gremlin (https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki) on both. Marko Rodriguez (http://markorodriguez.com/), the creator of Gremlin, is one of the principals behind Titan.

I'm not sure how you've manage to make all of those conclusions base on my post. But anyhow, I'll address them since you took the time to reply.

>"This is what overpaid people in dying industries always say and think."

I would beg to differ. The UX design and developer market is no where near dead. I'm not sure where you've been, but the market is in fact booming. I don't consider myself over paid. In fact, I know many folks that are paid more than I am.

>"The market doesn't care how hard you worked or what you think you deserve."

You are correct, they don't care about what I think I am worth. Well, except when pay me for a gig.

>"Of course, you know this, which is why you made this post and why you want people to think designers doing spec work are 'one step above useless'."

Actually, per the first paragraph of my post, I wrote it because a friend was recently being courted by a very large tech company (not by his doing) and then they sprung a 5+ hour "spec" work assignment on him.

Cherry picking: I forget to change to a branch where a commit was supposed to go, or I did a single commit change that needs to go across multiple branches without merging the entire branch. Do the commit, get the hash for the commit (git log is useful here) and switch to the branch where you want the change. git cherry-pick <hash> does a merge of just the single commit. Of course you can still end up with conflicts to fix, but git has been light years ahead of svn in doing merges, in my experience

Rebase: Oops I committed something I shouldn't have. Must be done BEFORE you push. My favorite is git rebase -i HEAD~<n>, where n is usually something small like 5. You'll get a vim-like view where it lists each of the last n commits by hash and message. Delete the line for each commit you want to remove, save/quit, and git merges out those commits. Of course be cautious here because you can lose work completely.

One more I like in the same vein, git commit --amend. For when you did a commit, and forgot to include something. This commit will just be added to the last.

Nice, well pointed out.

Unfortunately, we don't have regressions yet. But just to make sure these findings were still valid, we tossed this data into a program that did to make sure the effect remained (it did).

It's no substitute for regressions/ANOVA, but for now here's what Statwing can do: If you add a filter that excludes datapoints below, say, 40 years old. Looking only at folks older than 40, there's no relationship between [neuroticism and age], but the relationship between [neuroticism and preference] remains.

But, point taken. We'll count this as a vote for prioritizing regression. Thanks!

I wouldn't do anything too crazy. If you're the 1 in a billion (7 billion, actually) who gets targeted like this, they'll probably still get in so you're just wasting oodles of time and adding a good dose of constant aggravation for essentially nothing.
Came for this, also the 1/11th would be nice on a t-shirt or something too.
You're right that the amount of radioactive material is too small to warrant serious worry, but please distinguish between isotopes; Plutonium-238, the isotope used in the rover, is a very powerful alpha emitter. You definitely don't want to inhale more than a trace amount of it. (On the plus side, a piece of paper can shield you against alpha particles, which makes this one of the easier-to-handle isotopes -- a good choice for radiothermal generators like this.)
Don't use SMS, use the Google Authenticator app. It's available on every mobile platform and implements open, RFC-specified OTP algorithms. And obviously works with Google's 2-factor implementation.

> I think we just need to push documentation into the community's culture

Yes.

> and I imagine the best way to do that would be to make tools that make beautiful documentation easy.

Well, we've already got "built-in" tools that make handsome docs (maybe not beautiful, but certainly nice enough :) ). That is to say, almost all Clojure projects are on github and github automatically renders .md files into lovely html. With syntax highlighting too, if you label your blocks like so:

```clojure
(some :clojure "code")
```

So, just encouraging authors to add a some doc/*.md files to their project would be an excellent start. :)

> In terms of the {snip} discovery problem

I'm hoping [this](https://github.com/uvtc/clojure-dining-car) might help address that, if it gets some more community traction.
It's also not possible to directly-drive the Rover anyway, with latency varying between 4 and 20 minutes depending on Mars/Earth orbit.

FUD will never go away. Don't let it get to you.
Could be. But that's a very different problem.

Old-school computer security breaks things down into the CIA categories:

Confidentiality is for things you want secret.
Integrity is for things you want to not be altered.
Accessibility is for things you want to be able to reach.

Honestly, very little of data requires confidentiality. Yet that's what encryption is usually used for. I would, by an order of magnitude, rather have a hacker gain access to my family photos than have them deleted beyond my ability to recover.

I hate whole-disk encryption. In nearly everything in my life, the threat of losing access to my data is vastly worse than someone else accessing it.
Maybe after the main objectives are completed, NASA could recover some of the money by drawing people/companies' names/logos on the ground, then taking pictures and sharing them online :-)
It is my understanding that it is more about reducing the area that was affected by the rocket exhaust. The more area you mess up, the further you have to drive to find pristine surface. Yes, dust was stirred up over a small area, but if you took the rockets all the way down, you would disturb a much larger area, and probably change the surface chemistry around the landing site.

You are wrong. Apple maintains java and didn't uninstall it when I upgraded.
Probably not. Emails make terrific usernames because they are unique, easy to remember, double as a communication identifier and make registration slightly easier. And I'm not exactly sure how that would help in this situation. Are you suggesting that iCloud and Gmail login with usernames (different from your email address)?
I frequently have a commit history that looks something like:

* Add call stub to Foo, add calls to the stub where needed
* Beginnings of implementation, seems really friggin slow right now.
* Ok, back to square one, need calls to X, Y and Z, can be chained together, wrap behind the call we actually need.
* Final implementation

Which I then may leave comments in the code about the obvious approach that didn't work, or why it is the way it is. I then squash this into two commits, first one covering the implementation added to Foo with an appropriate descriptive commit message and a second commit after it that actually uses the new implementation.

Most of the incomplete commits aren't necessary, but we only develop on topic branches and I have a desktop I use at work and a laptop that travels to and from work with me (in case of deciding to work at a coffeeshop, or want to kick back, etc.). The ability to push not-yet-done work to my topic branch makes it available to either computer and the committing when halfway through because it's time to not be at the desk can easily be fixed with squashed commits.
Google has actually made it even less of a hassle by instead trusting a computer forever instead of having the session last 30 days [1]. This can be seen two ways though: less of a hassle for the user, and less secure. I wonder why Google doesn't give the option for the session lasting 30 days or forever.

Website: "Hey Bill, glad to see you today, what do you want to do"

Bill: "Delete _everything_ I've ever done on every system I have"

Website: "Of course! Let's get this started... beep boop bip and done!"

What about this:

1 - Kill request sent

2 - 48 hours is set on the clock so you can choose to cancel

3 - You can choose to pay $50 via credit card to have it happen immediately

4 - You are reimbursed $45 after a couple weeks

That might make it a little harder to have such hacks like this happen in the future.
To quote the github page [1], Hipache is "a distributed proxy designed to route high volumes of http and websocket traffic to unusually large numbers of virtual hosts, in a highly dynamic topology where backends are added and removed several times per second. It is particularly well-suited for PaaS (platform-as-a-service) and other environments that are both business-critical and multi-tenant".

Before building Hipache, dotCloud's network routing layer consisted of a large number of boxes running nginx, wrapped in a custom instrumentation and management layer which, among other things, generated configuration files of mind-boggling size several times per minute and propagated them across a fairly complex distributed system. If we had used haproxy, we would have had to adapt that ad-hoc instrumentation layer to haproxy - not a particularly pleasant prospect. Since dotCloud had reached a scale which mandated a redesign of the routing layer anyway, we killed two birds with one stone.

That's not really accurate, but rather than explaining why, I'll just give the abbreviated rundown on plutonium:

Plutonium 238 is a powerful alpha emitter with a half-life of 87.7 years, making it a great element for powering mars rovers. It's produced by exposing Neptunium 237 to neutron flux. You can get Np-237 out of nuclear waste from ordinary reactors. The US has mostly been buying Pu-238 from Russia, but we're running out, and starting up our own production again is kind of expensive. We can do it, though.

Plutonium 239 is the kind that gets used in bombs. It's fissile. It's produced by exposing Uranium 238 ("depleted uranium") to neutron flux in a nuclear reactor. It's tricky to make weapons-grade Pu-239, because it tends to be contaminated with Pu-240.

Plutonium 240 is annoying and nobody likes it.
It wont solve the problem, it also would not have prevented THIS issue. However -- many, many people use one email address for more or less everything in their lives. It's best if someone has no pieces of the puzzle, rather then have it half solved for them already. Especially when it's something like your first and last name as part of the address.
Anyone else annoyed by this and their new iMap application?

Their iMap app does not translate well on the web like the previous Google Map app did. When I am on a website that has a map link, it no longer opens up the built in map app nor maps direction from my current location. Since Google Maps is used across the web, when I click on a link it now takes me to Google Maps in the browser. But, that doesn't automatically map directions for me nor do turn by turn navigation.

Basically a RTG converts nuclear decays into power by absorbing the nuclear decay products, generating heat. This is quite similar to the process of radiation poisoning, where chemical bonds are destroyed by the decay products. So for a rather handwaving estimate, we can assume that the processes are the same.

The lethal dose of radiation is about 3-5 Sv, that is 3 to 5 J/ kg absorbed radiation (times some factors, which describe how the radiation is absorbed and which type of radiation). Therefore assuming full body irradiation and gamma particles, the lethal dose for an adult would be received in a matter of minutes ( 60kg irradiated by 1 W would be 1 Sv/minute). Note however, that a more realistic scenario for a dirty bomb from a RTG involves ingestion of alpha emitting particles for a rather large number of bystanders. ( And therefore the effects vary a lot by the details of the bomb and the radio isotopes used. )

So already with the radioactive material from a rather small RTG you can build a quite potent dirty bomb, rather independent of the exact type of the RTG used.

The biggest issue I've had when attempting to customise my shell is the same issue I've had while working with my custom vim setup and that is the issue of a different machine.

When I log into a new machine I still need to be able to find my way around, I still need to be able to edit files, I still need to be able to run various different commands. These can even be completely different shells or different versions of vi (nvi on FBSD for example, vim without python support on another system and so on).

Yes, my workstation has my vim customisations, but it only has the bare needed ones the rest are stock. Even on a vim without any of the scripts I have I would be proficient and I wouldn't miss a beat. Same thing for the shell, typing commands in full means I don't have to worry about muscle memory.

ll for example for ls -la is nice and all, but it isn't available on most of the machines I administer so I end up typing out ls -la anyway. That has become muscle memory for me now, and I am not worried about trying to change that.

To take your example: of course you wouldn't want to promote someone who only knows the code of one project very well and of course you want to promote someone who understands how all the parts of the product work together. However, the person who knows how all the parts work together and is the absolute best at shipping code, get a lot farther than the person who knows how they all work together, but doesn't execute any given function well enough to handle on his own

Well, sort of. It is not so much about reducing weight or size; the rover weighs 900kg (basically, one US ton). It is about energy budget; with the radioisotope thermoelectric generator, "nuclear battery," there is ample power not only to move such a behemoth around, but also to power some really interesting scientific instruments. For example, the rover has a laser which can vapourize a small sample which can then be analyzed spectrally to get chemical composition. Imagine trying to power a laser like that on solar panels.

The way I see it, there are always boring jobs that need to be done, and paying more for them is one reasonable way of convincing people to do them. Yeah, it might be boring, but on the other hand he works short hours and gets paid really well. It's up to him whether this tradeoff is worth it - personally, I would say he should use the extra time he has thanks to his short hours to do something more interesting on the side, while still doing the boring job to pay the bills.
