I have a feeling tmux would be useful to me, but it seems to be one of these things where all the documentation is useless unless you already understand it.

I understand it's a terminal multiplexer: so, on the one side, I have one or more terminals (typically pseudo; X or ssh in my case), and one or more ∗nix sessions (typically each a single process group; shells and their children like editors). In between sits tmux, with its 'sessions' and 'windows' and 'clients' and 'buffers' and 'panes'. What are these things, how are they related, and how do they correspond to ∗nix sessions and terminals?

Or have I got it all wrong?

Scikit-learn already has a number of techniques implemented to do this, though they don't scale to large numbers of data points: Affinity Propogation and Mean Shift (mentioned in the cheat sheet). As far as I remember, DBSCAN also does this, but I'm not completely sure.

Ask HN: Do you build tools whose end user is just you?
Is it worth spending a considerable amount of time implementing a tool that meets the very specific requirements that you need, but which, as a result, may leave you as the single end user of the product? Or do you just, in this case, use tools that have already been developed, even though they don't meet the exact requirements that you need?

Obvious advantages of developing such a tool are that the resulting product is just what you need, and it can therefore radically boosts your productivity. Another advantage is the experience you gained developing it.

Disadvantages are that it only benefits you, and you cannot make any money from it or help other users.
Maybe "ultra-" in this case was used to indicate that the limits would be strict, not that they would be extremely small.

Unless I'm missing something, this is a direct competitor to Evernote, yes?

I think I get it - Evernote has always been a bit of a mess IMHO and while it's the best of what existed, it seemed overly complicated and cluttered. This appears to be a measured (and flat) response to that.

Sorry, I don't think I'm going to be afforded the same courtesy if I start ranting about how all Valley girls are sluts because of my few experiences, for instance, even if it happens to be my genuine expression of emotion. Hoping that everyone's interpretation of certain emotions converges on something similar (and civil) is just asking for a clusterfuck.

Having just seen both utilities, colout looks very useful while grc looks like a PITA. I don't want to write configs for every adhoc command.
Here is another way (a bit informal):

e = lim_{n->infinity} (1 + 1/n)^n

Now, apply the binomial theorem:

1 + n * 1/n + n! / (2 (n-2)! n^2) + ... + n! / (m! (n - m!) n^m) + ...

Now, for each m, we have this sequence:

a_n = n! / (m! (n - m)! n^m)

Which converges on 1/m!, so we are left with this:

1 + 1 + 1/2! + 1/3! + 1/4! + ...
> The fallacy itself doesn't constitute a counter argument.

It isn't a reason to believe that the position argued for is false, but it is a reason for rejecting the offered argument as a basis for believing that the positioned argued for is true.

I've heard "counter-argument" used both to mean "argument for rejecting the offered argument" (which this satisfies) and "argument for the negation of the position the offered argument supports" (which this does not satisfy.)

I guess we would really have to drill down to what you consider "winning an argument". I am not sure you and I would agree on what that means.

Is winning an argument convincing the person you are arguing with that you are right?

Is winning an argument convincing a 3rd party that you are right?

Is winning an argument whoever makes the greater number of valid points (debate style)?

... what does it really mean to win an argument to you?
There is a interesting talk on youtube [1] by William Binney (a former U.S. intelligence official turn whistle blower) [2], where he talks about the tech behind ThinThread [3]. He describes how ThinThread uses Latent semantic indexing [4] to pull together all this metadata into a type of fingerprint. There are various reports (see google) that Stellar Wind was based on a component of the ThinThread capability or that Stellar Wind was an off shoot of ThinThread.

However, like a draftsperson or an engineer who refuses to learn Solidworks, the more powerful software will be a negative for those who cannot, or choose not to, evolve their skill set above a more basic level.

That line jogged loose a memory that might cause some thought in other so I'll share:

I used be an aerospace engineer. Typically, what we called * designers* were technical people who were very good at working with fancy 3D parametric, version controlled CAD systems. They could come up with mechanical designs and drawings at a rapid pace and good results. They rarely had engineering degrees and leaned a bit on the technical knowledge of the engineers when they needed to.

But we had one guy who refused to learn the new systems and instead insisted on using old, some might say obsolete) 2D CAD that he was familiar with. He happend to have an engineering degree, but most wouldn't guess because 9 out of 10 people picked him out as a dead ringer for Charlie Manson. He was loud, sometimes dirty, dressed more like a biker than an engineer, and he was rude and stubborn. I liked the guy. I really did. But I think I held a rare view, as most people found him offensive and crude. Some refused to work with him. "I'm not changing that" was almost a calling card of his.

Yet in spite of all of that, he designed a frighteningly high percentage of the space hardware that actually flew. His time was in demand and he produced easily as much as the designers with more modern tools. I never counted, but I'd bet he produced more than they did. And it was good because he was brilliantly skilled at the real task at hand.

So in the end, the technology did not matter - the man did.

I don't bring that up to argue- just think there's something worth thinking about.

Yes, C across AIX, Suns, Silicon Graphics, whatever those HP ones were, and others. Platform differences were common, bugs rare because many had been before me and they could always be worked around; I didn't have to fix a C compiler. When writing a compiler the aim is to fix the compiler.

You're more of an optimist about the state than I am because I think the only POSSIBLE resolution long term is the dissolution of all state power and moving towards enclaved/anarchistic models. Basically I'm talking about the Diamond Age in real life here. Hell, we already have prototype matter compilers. When an enclave all has 3d manufacturing and scanning down and starts to build their own civilization kits, of what use is the state to anyone aside from starting wars?

> The "hoarding" argument has no economic basis.

So all that cash under my grandfather's mattress is being put to use?
But phone calls are not supposed to be public, and web crawlers only access items which are public, so your argument isn't valid.
Is that it though? Is this just a note-taking app that, as it looks, has less features than Evernote? (web interface, etc).

Does look nice, though, I'll give Vesper that.
Yes seriously, here is what they asked me on first order with them:

"Since you're a new customer with Hetzner, we ask you for a scan of your passport or ID card (authenticity check).
It's only necessary for your first order with us.

Please send the scan by fax or as an email attachment."

When they say they delete it after 21 days, as they did in the mail I've just received, I trust them. I find their communication on this matter, as well as previous matters, open and serious.
401k funds, pension funds, social security, etc.
Of course, charity only goes so far, if the ROOT of their argument is a logical fallacy, no amount of charitable thinking will repair the hole.
It's well worth it for the range of people and emails. It adds a little spice to every day, and usually gives you something to think about. A little peak into how crazy different everyone lives their lives. It doesn't really matter to me if I'm never picked. In fact, I probably wouldn't want to be picked...
The trick is putting all important data in the encrypted part. The unencrypted part must be reconstructable in an automated manner. If you are paranoid and you assume that all unplanned reboots are attacks, then you can reconstruct the unencrypted part every time. Tools like Chef make this relatively easy.

Bought it and played around with it a bit. Very nice interface. The app has a very nice initial feel.

However besides the ability to send an email or text, the data appears to only stay the app. There is no DropBox or other syncing options. So it will not replace SimpleNote/nvAlt for me.

Interesting, I expected this to support Markdown. But I do like the simple and automated formatting that is provided.
> People say over-the-top, outrageous things out of emotionality, when they may mean something far less or completely different.

Yeah, but that's useless for communication of information (its useful for -- socially important -- request for and reception of sympathy, etc., especially from people with a shared emotional context.)

OTOH, when presented in a context where the intent is to get people who don't share the emotional context, especially in a context which asks for people to accept your position on a fact claim, change behavior, or support some kind of policy proposition, it is not useful, and it is appropriate to point out its deficiencies for that context and call on the speaker to recast it in a manner appropriate to the context.
1. False

2. My understanding of the law is if you have no employees in the state and no office, you're location-less. I believe you can incorporate anywhere you want. You dont even need a physical address in the state, use a registered agent.

4. Get a separate bank account. All you need is articles of incorporation and a tax ID.

5. IMHO any time you're taking money, protect your ASSets and incorporate.

FYI - Don't hire a lawyer to incorporate for you. Download the files and mail them yourself. Its sooo easy, takes 5 minutes.
I'm kinda confused about why Nagios was even involved here. If you've got all your checks setup properly, the Nagios host doesn't have any write access to your monitored hosts. You can use NRPE to restrict what commands it runs. Combine that with a read only SNMP account, and even if your Nagios server is compromised it cannot access your server.

It looks nice. I will give it that, but $5 bucks seems a little much for a notes app that can't sync across platforms as far as I can tell... not even iCloud.

Evernote, Springpad, Simplenote, and even Google Keep for iOS (when it is finally release) have syncing from the get go.

Given Gruber's love of all things Bond, I respect that the name comes from the first Bond girl (and great cocktail) Vesper Lynd.

Edit: Ah, their company's name is "Q Branch" which is the division that provides all of Bond's gadgets.
There is absolutely no risk that this would happen if you call and report your card as stolen. None.

Now, if you've already had a charge authorized, then yes, the issuers has to allow that charge to be captured, even if you cancelled the card in the interim. But your issuer can certainly tell you if there are any valid authorizations outstanding.
What an awesome position to be launching an app from, in terms of marketing!
That practice is similar to adding a "powered by X Company" link. The fact that it is an image doesn't really change anything. Clicky.com also uses this method.

I do not think those links would be penalized with Penguin for the same reasons I previously mentioned.

Is it a cheesy way to get links? Probably. But you should be fine.
It's the name of James Bond's signature martini. The LLC's name, Q Branch, refers to the R&D wing of MI6.

I'm pretty sure it's a Bond reference.

Supporting data:
- Gruber is a huge James Bond fan
- Vesper (Lynd)
- vesperapp.co makes a reference to QBranch
You might be surprised at the number of incorrectly configured Nagios installations.
Chase notified that a 3rd party was breached and my credit card was at risk. They sent me a new card two weeks ago. Figured it was because of linode.
Yes. The company is called Q Branch.
(please note that my post is meant to give others another use-case for the Vesper app, and isn't an ad for a competitor product!)

I don't care much for a diary or travel book, but I do use DayOne[1] (for OS X and iOS) as a journal of interesting stuff I find (mostly on HN). Years ago I used delicious to save/tag webpages, after its stagnation I used other services (I don't even remember their names), then started tagging stuff in Evernote, but none of them were as natural and easy-to-use as DayOne. It lacks a lot of features, but the Markdown format and its general ease of use makes up for that - I just press Control-Shift-D and start typing (or pasting a URL + it's HN discussion link for future reference). Occasionally I write down an interesting quote or image, or a passage I've read in an article. Also, the way it stores entries is using plist files, so I'm not afraid of platform lock-in. If I find something better (like this Vesper app here), I'll just write a convertor and translate those .plist files to the new format.

I haven't tried Vesper yet (probably will wait until there's an OS X client, which is where I use DayOne 99% of the time), but it looks very nice and promising.

> I think the problem is that the OP is labeling what he's arguing with as "web development" when it's really more of a subset of startup culture that he's referring to, not all web developers

You hit the nail on the head. I'm a web developer, and what I do is build websites and other online solutions for non-profits. They range from the very small, to the very large (many millions of dollars in budget). I'm paid less because most of our clients pay less, but I'm happy with my contribution to society, and that's what matters to me.

It's not the job, it's the context in which that job is performed.
Get the Fidelity Amex from FIA (aka BofA). It's one of the few genuine 2% cashback cards, has no annual fee, no forex fees iirc, and lets you create "ShopSafe" numbers.
This is a perfect example of what has been said about the recent revelation that the NSA is collecting the metadata for all phone calls (calling number, called number, etc.): you can learn a lot about a person just by knowing who they've communicated with and how often, without having to know anything about the actual content of the communication. If your girlfriend sees that someone with a female name she's never heard of is your number one Snapchat contact, that's probably all she needs to know.
More accurately, we can admit we are a large community, and that like most large communities, intra-community fads, gossip, and celebrities are a frequent subject of conversation within the community.

And yeah, there's plenty of "fascist" behavior in American Christians too. To sit there and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about... in the same breath that you say you don't know or care about US Christians is a special kind of braggard ignorance.

Good riddance? I guess? I don't even know what your point against me was at this point.
Google re-opens CalDAV, now what Microsoft?
I think you have already mentioned the pros and cons here and you are very much right. I am a bit lazy developer and hate doing the same things again and again knowing the fact that the process can be automated. Though believe in sharing knowledge. The first thing is your tool must serve well to your need. Making the tool generic enough is later part of the story.

> Really sounds like 'security theater', like Senator Feinstein is having fun straining her arm patting herself on the back for "protecting the US"

When this disgusting heretic blob said on the news today that we have, quote, "this culture of leaks", I thought I will throw-up inside. How on earth would you want to call this "free country", "home of the brave", democracy, whatever, if people in the company called "government" that you hired and that you pay their salary from your own pocket, keeps everything secret from you, and take full advantage of that, while breaking the law and raping you in the wide open in the name of "terrorist" ? And then when someone in that company reports (to media) that bunch of people are breaking the law, they become a criminal and, as Feinstein said: "need to be persecuted". How can you believe, in your sound mind, that there will be ANY freedom left in this country within next 5-7 years?? HOW??

Guess what Feinstein? You are much bigger terrorist with your pen and big stupid mouth, than all the terrorist combine out there together!
