There is always Habari, the newer, modular “microkernel”, modern PHP based, Apache-licensed CMS/blogging platform. Since it’s PHP, it features the same easy deployability. But it has stagnated in the last years and only recently has development taken up speed again. If you’re interested in hacking on something like that, drop by irc.freenode.net #habari or mail to habari-dev@googlegroups.com.
That's probably almost the exact quote I saw :)
For the average person, Wordpress is VERY easy to install, and moderately easy to use.

For geeks and people who understand technology and programming, I suppose Wordpress wouldn't cut it.
What kind of world do you want your kids educated in?
I run a Docker host fine on OS X w/ Vagrant. The client runs on OS X but not Linux Containers.
I stopped caring about TED talks when it became clear that people were more interested in promoting themselves rather than 'ideas worth spreading'.

I would much rather make a new account with my e-mail than have anything linked to my Google/Facebook account. I'm really uncomfortable exposing other sites to that information.
Exactly. Everyone that says "fork it" also say "maintain plugin/theme compatibility". That compatibility is part of the problem. The best solution is something that is easy to install and administer for non-dev users. To get something with the extensibility of wordpress will probably take a very long time. For now we just have to deal with what wordpress is.

There have been a number of efforts to innovate in the news industry, some which have met with some modicum of success, but no eventual impact.

YC has even funded a number of startups some of which have folded in spectacular style.

As for micropayments & kickstarter there is/was http://spot.us/ which was purchased by Minnesota Public Radio and has been neglected a bit.
Hmm, I wasn't exactly thinking of it as sarcasm when I wrote it, more pointing out what trek seemed to be expecting, which seemed unreasonable to me. But I guess doing that amounts to the same thing as sarcasm.

Fist bump* in return.

"an innocent remark can easily be taken the wrong way when it comes after the chain of sexism women deal with in any given day."

...what? How much effort do you put in to finding everything sexist?

This ladybug mounting another ladybug outside my window? Sexually oppressive. The female ladybug should be capable of choosing which position is preferable for her. This pencil in my hand? It's long. Hence a phallic object. Hence sexually intimidating. I am forced to involuntarily hold penises as I write on paper. This mouse under my palm is being raped as it has no matter of choice by which I guide it and its wheel (symbolic of the empowering clitoris, which I voluntarily scroll with) to accomplish my task. It has no say in when I click it or how I click it. Hence I am depriving it of free choice. Hence I am raping it.
Just for the outside. At that same time they were commissioning work from multiple developers for the same project at low fees saying: "We'll make it up in royalties", but canceling those versions they didn't like. None of the developers knew this was the case until they got the cancelation call.

Ethics? Not really.
Take a look the the Google chart api, it's quite comprehensive and free.
Mailbox and this solve completely different problems. I love Mailbox because it creates the notion that "read" does not mean done (and I can ask it to remind me about stuff). It also makes my email my todo app, which is nice since I only have to have one app. This is a really powerful change to the way i've used email and has made me more way more productive and organized.

SquareOne looks really interesting, and I think it and Mailbox could complement each other, but to me SquareOne is super smart filters for mail, while Mailbox changes the way I use email in its base form.
Generating Reports On Changes To Trello Cards
As someone who hasn't spent a ton of time extending any CMS but uses a lot of frameworks, I enjoyed EE too during the short amount of time I used it. Out of wordpress, drupal, and EE, EE is the one where writing plugins felt like normal programming since they hooked right into code igniter. (Not sure how things have changed in the last couple of years though.)
Do you intend to sue for having your image posted by Adria?

Sounds like she might get some commercial value of it since she is doing talking engagements. A wave of publicity will surely benefit her.

I suspect you might have a job offer pretty soon as the larger community realized that this was terribly unfair and it was someone taking advantage of a situation to create controversy.

Funny Filter Titles's Vimeo Enhancer
More like PHP's ubiquity which leads to easy installs for non-developers. The reason wordpress is so successful doesn't revolve around the devs. It's because your everyday blogger can setup a blog in 20 minutes. The dev focus comes from having so many users.
I wasn't using Toyota as proof that Agile works. I was suggesting that are common problems in managing systems of work have common solutions based on sound, proven theory.

All it takes, as others have said, is that by applying critical thinking and with armed with the knowledge of the theories I mentioned you will quickly arrive at some of the principles/processes/techniques you'll find in Agile.

The fact that the word Agile itself has become a poisoned, meaningless word, adopted by the same people that used to peddle previous software process fads (and the consultancy and services that naturally go with it) doesn't mean that there are some good ideas that really do work.
Fundamentally, the cgroups framework is just a way of creating some arbitrary kernel state and associating a set of processes with that state. For most cgroup subsystems, the kernel state is something to do with resource usage, but it can be used for anything that the cgroup subsystem creator wants. At least one subsystem (the devices cgroup) provides security (by controlling which device ids processes in that cgroup can access) rather than resource usage limiting.

Maybe you should stop telling everyone how they should post, and instead do something to encourage civil dialog.
Note that LXC DOES NOT PROVIDE SECURITY. It provides resource separation (to a point) and so on.

Breaking out of a filesystem container is as easy as creating a root block device.
Breaking out of a network container is as easy as creating a network device

And in all cases, you can just inject memory, load lkms, etc. That's without mentioning the amount of weekly CVEs for Linux namespaces.
Exactly. It's like Valentines day. I ignore it, my girlfriend ignores it. Why should I need some marketing guy to tell me when to tell my girlfriend I love her, that should be happening anyway. To me conforming just tells me you're just a sucker in these kinds of instances.
What SXSW Can Tell Us About the Geography of Indie Music
>> "they’re setting up ones that feature “experts” in pseudoscience topics like “plasmatics,” crystal healing, and Egyptian psychoaromatherapy, all of which were presented at TEDxValenciaWomen in December 2012. That conference was described by one disappointed viewer as “a mockery...that hurt, in this order, TED, Valencia, women, science, and common sense.”

I've built a similar tool using Go. Wondering how you guys get around the lack of clone(2) in the stdlib :)
I've found plugins to be extremely hit-and-miss, though.

I was helping a photographer friend who bought a commercial theme, which broke admin-side Javascript when he did the 3.4 -> 3.5.1 update. We still haven't figured out exactly what happened, but it just reinforced for me again that a) Wordpress hasn't adequately documented which APIs are stable and not, b) Authors, even of paid add-ons, don't keep their stuff up to date.

I'm sure you have your own "unattractive red flags" yourself. So do I. We are human, after all. Relationships are about compromise, understanding, and doing things for the other person to make them happy that we may not understand or agree with. This is one of those things. The only reason people in this thread get so bent out of shape on this particular decision (ill speculate) is because of the amount of money involved. Other similar things do not get nearly as much scrutiny. This tells more about an obsession over money on the part of that person than it does about the girl wanting the ring. If your partner doesn't want one, great, but why does it seem fit to say on this particular thing to cast such judgement and provide such passionate explanations as to why you refuse to spend money on this, no matter what she wants?

Basically these threads boil down to money, not ethics, not morals, not character, not de beers, or any of that bullshit. It's only an issue because of a high price tag. There are millions of other issues that have thorny ethical consequences but the reason this thread is so filled with passionate arguments judging other people is because of the amount of money involved.
It contributes to the objectification and dehumanization of male morphological gender norms.

That's got to be a fuck up, GoPro don't seem stupid enough to sic a DMCA on a review.
Indeed. The article doesn't make the context clear up front (perhaps because it's on a blog and partly aimed at people who already know what the blog is about), but the author and Mozilla have a solution to that problem that isn't "social". The post mentions it toward the end:

"We built the Persona protocol to reduce data sharing to the minimum needed for the user to easily log in: the browser mediates the login without leaking data to the identity provider. In the end, Persona is the easy login solution that respects users."

Ben is a smart guy, I've read about Persona, and it seems to be really well thought out and to have learned from the failings of e.g. OpenID. I intend to use it the next time I need an easy login solution for users.
While I'd like to agree, I'd also like to see something beyond anecdotal evidence on this. It'd give me a great excuse next time someone wants a Facebook login and a Twitter login and a Pinterest login [sic] on the same site.
Subspace relays!

Just kidding. But more seriously, intermediate satellites could possibly improve the transfer rate of information by acting as signal boosters. However, they would have to span substantial fractions of space between points to be useful. We only have a few spacecraft between earth and voyager. I.e. new horizons boosts voyager's signal back to earth (cassini maybe?). And in voyager's case it's probably irrelevant given how old the hardware is and how weak the power source has become.

I would hesitate to call the mere act of playing with dolls a dangerous activity, I think you're making too big a leap...

In my opinion, the image boys playing with dolls is just a way of translating the importance of a paradigm shift to us adults that already have these pre-determined notions of what dolls are for. Boys and girls develop in very different ways, each individual will find something to play with that brings them happiness and meaning. What really needs to change is the undercurrent of the parents'/guardians'biases (or the biases of any role models in these kids lives for that matter) that tell the kids what dolls/tonka trucks represent. Then playing with dolls becomes more about exploring than conforming.
(Copying my answer to a similar question)

Yes, you probably don't want to run untrusted code with root privileges inside a container if anything valuable is running on the same host.

However if that code is trusted, or if you're running it as an unprivileged user, or if nothing else of importance is sharing the same host, then I would not hesitate to use them.

Containers are awesome because they represent a logical component in your software stack. You can also use them as a unit of hardware resource allocation and multi-tenancy, but you don't have to: you can map a container 1-to-1 to a physical box, for example. But the logical unit remains the same regardless of the underlying hardware and multi-tenancy setup, which is truly awesome.

EDIT: details on multi-tenancy.
Solaris zones use similar concepts to LXC/namespaces, but are actually providing secure isolation.

Recent patches DO NOT provide "full isolation" and never did. What they add is usermode containers. Those are broken weekly since the release. Seriously. Have a look at http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.oss.general

Beautiful. One thing though, I believe the OP is mistaken when he implies that Steve Jobs didn't affect how computers work on the inside:

"On the one hand, I can imagine where the computing world would be without the work that Jobs did and the people he inspired: probably a bit less shiny, a bit more beige, a bit more square. Deep inside, though, our devices would still work the same way and do the same things."

Ultimately, computer architectures serve real world use cases. Innovation in use cases results in innovation in architectures. There are countless new technologies that exist because of the products that Apple invented.

Actually, no, you are not. You are - by definition - a terrorist, applying unlawful use of force or violence against people with the intention of intimidating or coercing groups of people and societies for ideological or political reasons.

The fact that you do have supporters shows the sad state of affairs this world is in.
It's probably relevant to note that we haven't heard from delvarworld, who I reached out to personally explaining in greater detail why I was opting not to reply and what we could do to create a discussion we'd both want to participate in.

You're only seeing the brief, public acknowledgement that I wouldn't participate despite being called out with an @ reply.

The tension only escalated when people from HN decided to chime in.
TEDx talks have lacked credibility from the beginning as far as I'm concerned, but what I find disappointing is that the main TED talks are increasingly just motivational nonsense. There are some very engaging speakers, but the actual ideas and content are often questionable. I find some of the perspectives on and from "developing countries" particularly patronizing and poorly contextualized.
But most people I know find them inspiring and invigorating, and I hate to rain on anyone's parade so I always keep quiet. I just find (many, not all) TED talks make me want to laugh at how implausible/naive/over-the-top the ideas are. Just sayin' ...
Trademarks are not the subject of DMCA protection, see: https://www.eff.org/wp/unsafe-harbors-abusive-dmca-subpoenas.... Even if they were, mentioning a trademark in a review is clearly not "use of a mark in commerce." Any shmuck can send you a letter under the color of authority, but this one clearly has no validity. The ISP is under no obligation to actually take down to content, and shouldn't have here.

As an aside: this is what happens when Congress "innovates" with the legal system. I'm sure someone thought it was a good idea to make take-down notices not be legal documents signed by a lawyer. But now any shmuck can send one without the threat of repercussions. When you have a device that invokes the color of state authority, you should have to jump through certain hurdles. Having to find a lawyer willing to risk sanctions putting a signed document in front of a judge is a powerful filter.
Yes, that is definitely something we would like to add. And we will gladly accept pull requests :)
In case you're not familiar with them, this blog comes from the Mozilla Identity team, which is creating a unified login product called "Persona." It's basically the features of social login (you don't have to create a new account for every site) without the drawbacks (an advertising-driven company knowing your every login).

I use Persona on my costs-real-money subscription site[1] and I'm very happy with it. Integration was easy, the user experience is pretty good, and it's been stable and reliable. The best thing, of course, was not having to implement my own password-management infrastructure, which saved me a ton of time, as well as insulating me from the hard security problems that come along with such a beast.

If you decide to try Persona, I heartily recommend it. There are a couple of gotchas to be aware of:

1- On iOS, only Safari works due to Persona using a pop-up window for login. People using Chrome on iOS will get a confusing "relay frame not found" error.

2- Signup flow could be better. When users create an account, they get a confirmation email. Clicking the link in that confirmation email redirects them to the Persona site, not back to your site. It's possible this is configurable and I haven't figured it out yet.

3- Persona emails are case-sensitive. There's some rare issues that occur as a result. At one point, it could crash the login, but I believe that's been fixed.

Don't let these flaws stop you, though--Persona is very well done and constantly getting better. I've had hundreds of people sign up for paid accounts and only two have had trouble to the point of asking for help. (And nobody's cancelled their subscription because of login problems. :-) )

Rather than tackling a rewrite of Wordpress itself, what about a set of conventions and practices for add-ons and themes, a clearly defined set of API functions, and an automated validator to enforce at least some of it.

Even if the validator was just a grep for function calls outside of a whitelist, that would be an excellent starting point.
I thought this was really cool.

I actually think someone could make this into a sellable product for companies running trade show booths. The main goal of a trade show booth is to attract visitors and get their contact information. This system is a creative way to do both.

Yes, actually we don't want ANY login/registration.

Just put auth info in a cookie, and let the user associate it with an e-mail address later, once he actually knows he will keep using the service.

I believe "I can't be arsed to register" is one of the top reasons websites lose prospective users.
What's Wrong With The US Smartphone Market?
I don't mean to come off the wrong way, but did you even read the article? Most of it was about past transgressions and what they've done to tighten the brand. Maybe you're been away too long. I also somewhat reject your characterization of their mission, because their mission first and foremost is about the spread of ideas. TEDx has irrefutably made TED more popular and mainstream and thus more effective as a vehicle to spread ideas. Yes quality is important, but even with TEDx, the process to become a "TED link" is extremely curated:

"Indeed, open as TED is, pieces of its ecosystem are highly managed. For example, while 25,000 TEDx talks have been produced so far, as of the time of this writing only 228, or approximately 1%—the best of the best—had made it to TED.com for broad-based distribution and endorsement. People who complain that TED is not curating its content are ignoring how selective it is when posting TEDx content."
you're trying to justify the use of lxc for security, IMO. Your webpage does state "strong guarantees of isolation"

if you're sharing nothing of importance on the host, then, you don't really need LXC, unless you don't know how to setup mysql with more than one database, nginx with more than one virtual host, yada yada.

Here's the trick: you CAN use LXC and SUPPLEMENT it by something providing security such as SELinux.
Docker solves the problem of running things in a repeatable and infrastructure-agnostic way. Mesos solves the problem of telling many nodes what to run and when.

In other words, Docker + Mesos is a killer combo. There is already experimentation underway to use Docker as an execution engine for Mesos.
That's probably fair but PHP is never gonna be totally sane. There will always be weird quirks that are just ingrained in the language. Every language, every application has weird shit because it's all made by people who are just bundles of weird shit.

The problem is when someone else's weird shit is incompatible with your weird shit.
I checked that site, couldn't figure out its actual model in 30 seconds (or even where to go to figure it out), and I think that's a big problem. But it looks like they were going in what I think is a good direction.
Same here. So if my tower blows up for whatever reason, I can be up and running by installing VMware and loading my basic environment image from a backup. Pull down the latest code and I'm good to go.
you should probably talk about the project right now to pique their interest otherwise i doubt you'll get many (or any) answers. Don't expect people to email you.

EDIT: i know i won't.
Oooh! Tobu. edit: building, thanks!
Still pretty much the same.
What am I being obtuse about and why are you talking about selective and biased reasoning? The aspect of the comment I was responding to was "One of the most selective criteria." Do you know what the most selective hiring criteria is for TS/SCI work?
Great UI. Awesome work!
Yup - It's back now.. But it 100% didn't exist when I posted earlier :)
I want to say there has been some discussion about space travel to other worlds and "leaving too soon", ie - if you launch today, a space craft that launches to the same destination a year from now would beat you there, because the technology would have progressed to the point that the later ship was much faster.

If we were to launch a state of the art probe today, how long would it take to get to where voyager 1 is now after 35 years of travel?
