Several years ago I worked with a senior tech that had previously worked for the NSA. For his personal private data he secured it using nothing less than 4096 bit encryption.

Due to his confidentiality agreements he couldn't provide specifics about the NSA's capabilities, he only would share his own personal security practices. After that discussion I concluded that if the US Government wanted to know something about you they could find out. Not only by technical means, but by any channel you could likely imagine. These guys are smart, the idiots you hear about in the media are field agents, not the back office folks conducting the real security work.

Since that time I've also assumed that the US has encryption technology that is at least 5 years ahead of public research. Today, I assume that means the US has access to a functional quantum computer and anything using today's encryption standards are left insecure if the right 3 letter agency wants to know.
The people from whom you would get funding would understand the technical jargon of the field. Nobody is getting funded just for being so confusing that nobody can understand.

If you're looking at how individual languages compare, you're missing the point. If all these languages were folded into a single line, the editorial's main point would be exactly the same.
Turns out exec runs two goroutines, one for Stdout and one for Stderr, and if I run both into the same bytes.Buffer, that's a data race. No wonder I couldn't find it, I was looking in my own code for the goroutines. Thanks go1.1beta1!
"Personally, I regard it as rather sad that simply collecting such basic anonymous data about a smartphone or tablet could cause such an overreaction. Simply using the Internet, without extra effort to erase your digital footsteps, reveals far more about you than the information CM was going to collect."

Some users choose the extra effort to minimize their digital footprint. What I find sad is the trend in software and hardware products making that choice impossible to make.

I think Cyanogenmod deserves praise for listening to their users and addressing their concerns, even if they did not agree with them.

Wow. It is pretty crazy that they're all female. I wonder if they have an algorithm to figure out who's more attractive or if they just choose people of the opposite gender.
You should never listen to anyone advising to use only bare-bones console vim without the mouse or cursor keys, it's simply masochistic and doesn't contribute to your efficiency learning vim at all. Only if you expect to ever be using unix vim remotely through a terminal you should be aware of hjkl for navigation and visual mode for block selections. Any other constraints you impose on yourself are philoshical, if all you want is vim on OSX/Windows/desktop Linux.

That said, after you get comfortable using insert mode with just the most basic command mode stuff, I would highly recommend incrementally expanding your use of command mode. Learn about yank registers, movement units (words, sentences, brackets, quoted text), how to repeat commands, how to record and play macro's, split buffers and how to move around buffers and windows, etc. You could start by adding one command or feature each week and go from there.

If you never invest time expanding your vim knowledge and habits, there really isn't much of a reason to use vim at all. The whole point of vim is that it has so many crazy productivity-enhancing features. If you don't want to spend time to learn any of them then just don't bother, but realize that no 'easy to use', fully GUI-driven editor could ever come close to the editing efficiency you can theoretically get using a command-mode editor such as vim. There really is truth in what people say, once you master the most useful aspects of vim, you can never go back.
Wells fargo is down
As far as I'm concerned once he's already paid for it he doesn't need any justification whatsoever.
Nope, still gets up about twice in the night to eat. Totally normal though.

Got some good advice recently to not change him in the middle of the night. Less stimulation so he goes back to sleep faster which means you get more sleep too. Felt weird about it at first but it's totally fine. That morning diaper will be a heavy one though!

We don't just let him cry yet, but we're also lucky because the kid doesn't cry unless he needs something so YMMV...
Was thinking of putting together a HN/Digg style site for fitness links (example here: http://erikaugust.com/sportslinks/)... Good idea? Or am I missing a site out there already (outside of the sub-Reddits)?
What you're talking about is the larger problem of "context".
Thankfully, I already wrote the code and the documentation to attach statements to contexts, solving this problem in an elegant way.
I haven't released it yet to keep the core of the service simple, and to help people understand what it does first.

It will be released when it will be the right time for it.
Thanks for your comment!
Interesting. I don't work for quite so sexy a company as Apple, and positions aren't going to get you working on much hot new tech, so I'm not sure I'd post "we're hiring". I assume most people here have no desire to work at boring old companies, hence the "Wtf php? Are you a noob?" type comments.
but is it because they are stronger, or because they have a healthier life in general, filled with more exercise than average? I mean, is the effect the same for 100m runners (=strength) and 10000m runners (=less pure strength)?
Why is that harder to fix? Many sites handle it properly:

"If there was an account associated with that email address we have emailed it with instructions."
http://www.nature.com/news/calorie-restriction-falters-in-th...

This article actually answers both your questions:

"""
One reason for that difference could be that the WNPRC monkeys were fed an unhealthy diet, which made the calorie-restricted monkeys seem healthier by comparison simply because they ate less of it. The WNPRC monkeys’ diets contained 28.5% sucrose, compared with 3.9% sucrose at the NIA. Meanwhile, the NIA meals included fish oil and antioxidants, whereas the WNPRC meals did not. Rick Weindruch, a gerontologist at the WNPRC who led the study, admits: “Overall, our diet was probably not as healthy.”
"""

So, monkeys on a calorie restricted diet are not healthier than monkeys on a healthy, unrestricted diet, but are healthier than monkeys on a diet of monkey junk food.
I'd love to see what your site is about but don't want to create an account just to do so... I don't even get in the front door before I know I want to leave. Just my 2 cents.
From what I recall Hushmail had a downloadable applet that was safe. The problem is they stole certain user passwords by altering the web client.
Indeed! If you actually had the time to look for studies correlating "calorie restriction without exercise" vs "exercise only" vs both with morbidity, please share a few links of what you've found.
>I'll have to strongly disagree with that one.

Then you spend the rest of your comment restating exactly what he said--namely that programming is not a homogeneous community. And, as he points out himself, the Dr. Dobb's community is known to not be representative of the whole and he gives examples.
Absolutely! We do this daily as well. Perhaps we all just need to make ourselves more well known to the tech community?
here is my 2 cents. Im a coder, developer but I am ripped (sorry for the self love) I work out like crazy and actively surf / kitesurf, rockclimb. So my gym sessions have always had a purpose - to make myself stronger per the requirements of those sports. So my 2 cents - get of the whey protein. don't take it do not touch it. I have no scientific evidence but way too many people are on that and no long term studies. Only evidence is this: A good friend fellow athlete (sailor olympic level windsurfer) healthy as none other, got a heart attack at the age of 33. He looked into my eyes and said he never took anything (when i asked if he doped of any sort) and he only took whey. Made me get off it. Difference in phenomenal. You get "cut" lean, stronger muscles, just eat well. Not to mention your body gets conditioned to the "easy" absorption of nutrients that come from whey and gets lazy. There thats my 2 cents.

TLDR - get of whey protein, you'll get stronger live longer.

Not population. The number of cabs is strongly related to the number of people WITHOUT CARS in an area. No matter how heavily populated, if an area is built in the standard car-centric suburb design, there won't be many cabs since car ownership will approach 100%.
Hah, no doubt. Not sure if it's good or bad each "I just learned vim" article has some random command I'm totally unfamiliar with I can't believe I haven't used. Obviously I'm just a vim user, not a power user.

God's official temple, biotch! The inspired word of God.

God says...

10:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have
hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew
these my signs before him: 10:2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears
of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt,
and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I
am the LORD.

10:3 And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus
saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble
thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

10:4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will
I bring the locusts into thy coast: 10:5 And they shall cover the face
of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall
eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you
from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of
the field: 10:6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all
thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy
fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they
were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out
from Pharaoh.

The 'artists' in this article sounded like a bunch of entitled twits. It sounded like they were saying rich people should be collecting art to support the community.

Maybe rich people from our generation want to put that money into starting new companies, philanthropy, or any number of other things. Why is art more important than any other good cause?
Along with your resume, I think the most important piece is going to be your cover letter. That is where you can explain your "developer story". You can explain why your resume isn't traditional "business", and portray yourself as an entrepreneurial developer. I am kind of in the same boat right now as well. Best of luck!
I really like Yehuda, but I must say that I always found this article personally annoying: I was one of those people trying to convince Yehuda to use vim (going way back to like 2006 when we lived in the same town and I was consulting for a company he worked at), and was probably one of the earlier people to really argue with him about using vim, and I can guarantee I wouldn't have said any of the things in this article.

I can be certain of that, as I still use actual arrow keys to this day: I started using vim well over a decade ago, maybe almost two, and I simply never got around to using hjkl. There is thereby no chance in hell that I would have told him to turn off the arrow keys (although we both know someone who probably did, who worked with him much more closely, but he has a personality type that requires him to "whole hog" everything he tries ;P).

It also has taken me forever to get around to learning even things like "cw", which I only just integrated into my behaviors a year ago. It's even a running gag on the IRC channel I spend most of my time on (and where Yehuda used to hang out) that vim is something that everyone knows some barely overlapping subset of the keyboard behaviors for ;P.

It is true that I would have been telling him to use console versions of vim, but my definition of "console" has always had "mouse support" as a key requirement: until just about two years ago I always had "set mouse=a" turned on by default, which gives you the ability to click around in both command and input modes, the ability to click and drag to automatically enter visual mode, and (in particular) fully operational mouse wheel scrolling support.

I thereby can only imagine that Yehuda simply got such strong pressure from some subset of the people who were talking to him about vim that it got him so generally angry about the whole situation that is "use vim" that by 2010 he got to the point where it just seemed like "everyone" was telling him to "whole hog" vim; I thereby can happily appreciate why this article got written the way that did.

However, I think people repasting it around now may end up with the wrong impression of "people who use vim" as a whole by going back and looking at Yehuda during this one moment from 2010 and then using this article as a guide to something important today about that community. (Which explains why I didn't ever comment on the original article, but if people are going to bring it back, I feel the need to do so ;P.)
Yeah, essentially it comes down to timings/measuring payload lengths. Even for complex websites it may still be possible to attempt to infer what you're viewing. For example, if you are interested, take a look at this research paper which explains how to capture what a user is typing in an auto complete (i.e sends a request every time you type a character) box even over an encrypted connection:

http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/119060/WebAppSideChannel-...

Which could leak information about what you're looking at or looking for. The site is not mentioned specifically in the paper but Amazon uses a autocomplete for it's search which exhibits similar behaviour to what is discussed in the paper. So even on a site like Amazon if you visited it over a secure connection an attacker could most likely find out what you are searching for or looking at on Amazon.

Do you understand what salt and hash means? The algorithm may be the same, but the result is going to be different. There are many hashing algorithms, and many ways of salting the hashes. It's not always the same.
Yep, having to play Crawl a few minutes a week is like piano lessons for my son now ;) Someday he'll understand why.
Technically, if not done in a public forum, its a conspiracy (two or more parties working together not in the open). In a republic, we tend to look down on those kinds of things when at least one of the parties is a government agency, or an agent of an agency. Conspiracies don't have to result in falsehoods being spread.

Since people log in with a username, not an email, they may not know which email address they associated with the account. Especially if they used a one-off to avoid spam. Personally, I prefer systems that do a reset to email after you provide a username, since usernames are often public / verifiable anyways.
+1.

I recall seeing older benchmarks with have not been updated since benchmarks are often controversial. It would still help a lot to have them.
What are these people doing that makes such miniscule micro-optimizations of text-editing performance matter so much?

Me, I type code. I copy & paste code. I do global searches on the source tree, and every now and then on a single file. The editor has file-type sensitive syntax highlighting, which is nice enough but not all that important. And that's about it: that's all you need to work as a professional software developer.

So when I hear people getting all worked up about these antique editors, it sounds a lot like listening to a bike snob go on about fixies.
I think you hit the nail right on the head here. It can be detrimental to try and learn vim (or emacs, for that matter) while trying to get stuff done, but it is necessary to immerse yourself, as it were.

For those who don't use vim, switch right now (unless you're at work.) If you want to be productive, you'll have to learn to love the home row.

As an aside, it might be worth it to learn a couple of emacs movement commands as well if you're using OS X, as you'll be able to navigate textboxes without leaving the home row as well!
Well, that assumes people aren't reusing those passwords.
I bet it doesn't even use OTR. You can't just rely on Apple to keep it secure. I do hope Google's upcoming Babel service is at least as secure, but I also hope it uses OTR.
That's the question. Actually, it is not clear that calorie restriction increases human lifespans. It works really well with fruit flies and rodents, but monkey results are mixed. I don't know if there is any direct evidence of calorie restriction increasing lifespans in humans. Actually, practicing calorie restriction when young can affect development and practicing it when old might also be dangerous due to low BMI or bone loss. And if muscle is independently associated with mortality in men then losing muscle due to controlled starvation might not be helpful either.

Now just hold on a second there. As long as we're throwing out anecdotes, let me say that I've been lifting for a few years now and squats completely devastate my knees. I've tried over and over again and no matter what, my knees get a stabbing, debilitating pain when I squat, even at lighter weights. Physical therapy doesn't help. X-rays show no problems. Obsessing about correct posture doesn't help. Squats are just plain bad for my knees.

A command that when run, sends the output of other commands to your email.
An image viewer.
A simpler interface to `xrandr`.

Unless Uber manages to actually kill off the taxi industry, which seems extremely unlikely, then the anonymous travel option has not been lost.
I second this. While I'm not a powerlifter, I do lift regularly. Two years ago I stretched before doing anything, including a warm up. Sometimes I would be in a rush and skip the stretching. After I noticed that it made no noticeable difference, I dropped it and just did my regular warm up (run a mile). Now, before doing anything really heavy, I'll just do the movement with little weight or only body weight. I've been able to lift more and seem to have less muscle fatigue as a result.

People talking about the dangers of completely unregulated cabs are missing the point. Unregulated cabs that you hail randomly on the street are dangerous because you have no way to verify that the cab is actually from the company it claims to be, and no way to punish the driver if he lies to you (or worse). You are completely at the mercy of the driver.

Uber is completely different from randomly hailing a cab on the street, because you can verify that the cab is from Uber and you can punish bad drivers with bad ratings. If you have a bad experience in an Uber cab, it reflects badly on Uber's brand, so Uber has a strong incentive to punish bad drivers. That's why services like Uber don't need the same regulation that regular cabs do.
I'm currently doing the 4 hour body workout which sounds similar. I've always been in pretty good shape but after trying some of these 30 minute workouts 3 days a week, I'm a firm believer that you don't need to be spending hours in the gym everyday mindlessly going through the repetitions like a lot of people are led to believe.

The page you link to looks a bit like typical internet marketing sales letter spam so I'm a bit skeptical of it, but I'll give the download a try.
