I remember being passed files from the cookbook on floppies at school, I thought it was the greatest sources of information at the time, along with the "Book of Forbidden Knowledge" that you used to be able to buy from ads in the back of magazines.
Since the topic is DRM, and DRM only works if you don't know how it works...

> Since the only objective is decrypting content it'll presumably be more practical to port (and reverse engineer)

I cannot comprehend the confusion of ideas that could provoke such a suggestion. Do you really believe open source platforms will get an open source module? Do you think it'll be anything but a black box whose nature, by definition, precludes anyone knowing what it does? Where will you get your guarantees about security vulnerabilities, when the very nature of the code will be, must be such that it is as difficult to discern its purpose and mechanism of operation as possible.
A daemon could be smart. Only allowing certain operations (e.g. adding non-root users) and it could send email directly to the account holder informing them every time it does so. SSH access doesn't even need to be open for a daemon to poll. Even if a hacker managed to add an account they might not be able to use it.

Whereas your current method requires remote root SSH to be accessible from at least your network. Hacking you means immediate unfettered access to every one of your users.

I'd recommend a daemon and explicitly telling people to firewall off SSH from anywhere that isn't their own network.
A lot of your examples aren't "modal human interfaces." They are examples of the state of the world, or the state of the human in question.

There's no question that you need to be aware of the state of the world. The position of a pen isn't an interface; the pen itself isn't modal. The "interface" to a pan is its handle. The "tuning" of an instrument isn't an interface; the strings are (the mode of a synth makes it modal, certainly, but I'll get to that).

There are some interfaces that are easily mapped by humans, though. The forward/reverse setting in a car is one of them. I don't doubt that many accidents have been caused by that modal interface, but it's still better than any other interface for that task than any other I can think of. You don't WANT the user to be able to just start driving backward without going through a specific (non-normal-driving) action to put the car into that mode.

The keyboard example is the same: A modal interface that makes sense. You have limited resources there: Most musicians can't afford to have a separate keyboard for every sound they want a synth to make.

Even Photoshop is a "necessary" kind of modal interface, because Photoshop isn't representing a user doing a single task: Photoshop is a simulation of dozens of potential "brushes" or effects, and it's far more economical to use the same interface (the left mouse button) to control them all.

It's all about cognitive mapping: A good UI for a stove has the controls arranged in the same physical orientation as the burners. Four burners in a square? Four controls in a square. No instructions necessary (to anyone with even a rudimentary idea of how stoves work).

With pattern matching, the term on the left is a destructuring of the term on the right. Using a static instance like that isn't what you normally do in practice, but rather something like:

myfoo = Foo(4, Bar(3, 8))
with patterns:
Foo(x, Bar(3, z)) << myfoo

So in this case, the assertion will only pass if the Foo contains a Bar in the second slot, and that Bar contains a 3 in its first slot, while also binding the 4 and 8 to their own names, x and z respectively.

That seems so fair.

I think we're being trolled. The one guy in the north woods of wisconsin who uses twitter used the "n word" once but no one in the entire 4 million person metro Milwaukee area has. Hmm. The Milwaukee MSA has 0.5% of the population of the entire USA and about 90% of the black population of Wisconsin, so it should have included 750 tweets based on supposed sample size yet none of them in troll happy twitter were *-ist in any form. Unlikely. I think we're being trolled, perhaps as a sociology test of gullibility, and being fed data on "decade of founding of city" or something equally irrelevant. Or perhaps just random. Or data intentionally designed to make the east look worse than the west, although it seems weird to merge Wyoming in culturally with San Franciso or Berkley in with Colorado.
I wonder if that's a flaw in the model by not normalizing over how popular twitter is in that area. Seems like it's more useful to know what percentage of tweets are hateful instead of counting sheer number.

ie: maybe there's just way more tweeting in Austin.

[edit: I'm apparently wrong. @ronaldx points out below a statement that suggests this is already happening and is why Orange County doesn't shine brighter]

Was not familiar with Amon before-hand. What makes it better than munin, or the like?
Wittgenstein died on a Monday in February. Sunday morning he took me for his last walk - down the hill to the grassy place, he struggled exceptionally to make it back up. When we returned from the Soccer game that evening, he needed the Bottom's Up lead for the first time to make it to the dead end. Before we went inside he showed me he could no longer make it up the steep hill even with his butt in a sling. Then he came inside, and laid down. When he started struggling in pain, we gave him doggy valium. In the morning Dr. Pete gave him the injection slowly. He went peacefully. After his heart had stopped, he breathed three times, and moved his paw for me to hold. When I let it go, he was gone. Saying goodbye was his final gift to me.

At nearly fifteen years and 100 pounds, he had a long life - still walking me more than a mile most days into his last week. He wasn't supposed to enjoy life much past 8 - he had dysplasia. Then again, at six months he was given to the pound, too big to handle, or nixing the owner's lease.

I went because I had lost Bo. The pound is tough. That's where I had gotten Missy [ocasionally referred to as my first wife]. I knew I needed a sign and his standing at full 5'-6" stretch looking over the back of the kennel as I walked through the door, was it. He'd just had a bath.

In March 1968, we moved from an apartment to a house in the suburbs. In April we got Ringo. Ringo was my father's first dog as an adult. Knee-high, he could pull the suction cup ball off the ceiling - the dog not my father.

I have some of Bo's ashes still. All I have of Missy is the fur stuck in her collar. Witty's ashes are in my son's room. We will spread them at Cape San Blas.

I share your grief.

It is my opinion that Chris Hadfield has done vast amounts more toward popularizing space travel than NASA has in its entire run, the televised moon landings notwithstanding. The general public even got bored of going to the moon after the first few trips, as Apollo 13 dramatizes, but Cmdr. Hadfield has cultivated an enormous, captivated audience for what is arguably routine space travel. (That's not a dig at NASA; it's a compliment to Hadfield.)

That accomplishment is even more notable because while Canada has a space agency, most of the world wouldn't consider Canada "spacefaring" in the broad sense (also not a dig at Canada). That a man challenged himself in his career to become an astronaut without a clear path to orbit, then reached a position where he can bring space travel to YouTube, Reddit, schools, and countless young minds in a new generation with the light touch required to "make it stick" is an accomplishment worthy of immense praise. Maybe a Nobel.

As a former S. Carolinian, I really expected more red. My guess is that the people that say these sorts of things readily still don't tweet.

Yes, that would be the default

1. sign up for site

2. click "deploy rails app"

3. select enviroment (amazon or rackspace)

4. select VM size

5. the VM would deploy, and apply the recipes, it would then kick you back a git repo to pull of all the recipes that ran to get your stack up and running (postgres, passenger, ruby installation etc etc).

6. You can then alter anything you want via that repo; then with a simple git push, the changes would be applied to your VM
It's just a way of getting rid of the redundant "function()" syntax. Unfortunately with bind(), we have to set the scope even though it isn't always necessary. So in this case, the first parameter "this" is also probably redundant. The old PrototypeJS curry() would have been the least redundant solution:
movePlayer.curry("north")

This stuff happens more than anyone in infosec wants to admit; it's (ironically) what got me into professional software security to begin with, after being upset by what a commercial network monitoring tool would have allowed us to do to our customers at an ISP I helped run.

Also: this isn't like that time a random Microsoft recruiter accidentally hit ESR and he wrote the "Your Worst Nightmare" post about it.

Aside from whether they were right to remove it and whether this was communicated properly or not,

can anyone explain me what's so useful about having a transparent terminal?

I agree that it looks pretty and sci-fi, which is a fine reason, but from the general backlash I get a feeling there's more to it than that. I personally always found semi-transparent terminals harder to read, and prefer a plain dark background (I've tried subtle textures, but found them to be more effort to get right over how much they improved visual style).

I'm assuming it might be something about the ability to read what's behind the terminal window? But every time I encountered such a situation, the letters on the terminal were interfering with the info behind it (probably a browser), and even if I could make out what it said, a quick alt-tab switch back and forth was so much easier.

The only real advantage I can think of might be the ability to roughly determine what application is running behind the terminal, or whether there is in fact an application running or not. Which is nice but most WMs have other ways of indicating that information (taskbar, etc).

What did you do to cut down on lying human classifiers? Do you give them an incentive? Did you have them vote as a group on the classification of a sentiment?

There are 3000+ counties and county equivalents in the US, so that makes about 50 tweets per county. That could easily be output by one or two people per county. Seeing as a lot of southern cities seem clean but with one or two really bright points nearby, I suspect that your thesis is correct and that most of these points are caused by particularly vociferous individual racists.
You should read Mike Mullane's "Riding Rockets". It has some weird details about the application process, including strange medical procedures...
Not very well. Twitter sentiment is a difficult problem.

Consider using millions of training examples (vs. thousands). This was done as part of the "distant supervision" Twitter sentiment technique. What this means is that tweets with positive emoticons were labeled as positive sentiment, and negative emoticons were labeled as having negative sentiment. Emoticons were stripped before training. This system got 80% accuracy.

It is my opinion that Chris Hadfield has done vast amounts more toward popularizing space travel than NASA has in its entire run

I'm going to give an opinion here that has no evidence- so consider me devil's advocate-ing, I'd love to see contrary evidence. I have long suspected that Chris Hadfield has been phenomenally popular among the tech-inclined, tweeting classes- but has had a far smaller impact on the 'everyday' person.

I do not mean this as a slight to him in any way- I think he has done everything and anything that he could. But the mainstream media seems uninterested- the height of the NASA space faring days was when there were about four TV channels anyone watched- the mindshare it captured is incredibly difficult if not impossible to replicate today. It's very sad.
Long live Context Optional, indeed!
I second that opinion -- he deserves enormous praise. I must also add that this video -- with a real astronaut staring in awe at the stars and looking longingly at earth -- is one of the most authentic, touching, musical performances I've ever seen.

A fundamental problem with this strategy is that is may bias the results towards prolific haters—i.e. people who are frequently hateful on Twitter. These people may live in places where social norms permit online hateful speech without repercussions. This strategy will miss people who are haters, but must be more subdued in their expressions of hatred online.

It would be interesting to identify people who have posted just a few hateful messages—perhaps few enough that they can get away with it in their local social context. This may more sensitive to occult haters.

Something like this:
1. Identify individual twitter users as being hateful in a particular category. For instance, user A uses the word "chink" 3x and "fag" 5x in 100 tweets, so he gets added to the "chink" and "fag" categories. Play with these threshold to see what makes sense.
2. Divide the # of hateful users in each category by the total # of users in that location. Allocation of users to location can be done proportional to the # of tweets they make from each location.

Cool project :).

Young people are not the mainstream media's target audience, but they are Hadfield's. The obvious undercurrent to his efforts is to get more kids interested in science, engineering, and potentially space travel; mainstream media doesn't get ratings out of that, so it isn't really worth covering for them. This Bowie cover seems to be gaining some steam, though; as another poster mentioned, I've heard about it from several people not in my usual "tech" circle.

Listening to the kids react in wonderment as he demonstrated wringing a towel out in orbit really drove home that he's reaching, and really reaching, the right audience in a way that NASA has struggled with for decades. He is exceedingly well-educated and is probably aware of declining interest in STEM among younger kids and especially declining interest in space travel as a whole. (I don't have data to back that up, just basic anecdotal experience much like you, but it seems true.)

Perhaps I could have been more clear; when I say "porting" I mean from the perspective of a vendor. The current status quo is that content is available only where Adobe can be bothered to provide Flash. Given that constructing a "secure" black is a smaller task than providing a standardised runtime environment, it's feasible that vendors might target more than just Windows and OSX. This has nothing to do with source availability.

w.r.t easier reverse engineering, given the behaviour is constrained to the target blob and the interface is standardised, liberating content should be simplified. As far as security vulnerabilities go the choice still remains, run the blob or don't view the content.
