Generally no-one really cared that the US ruled the world because, despite our flaws, we were the good guys.

9/11 changed that. We started torturing people. We started targeted killings. We started invading countries that hadn't lifted a finger.

Now we spy on our citizens in secret, silence journalists, and we hunt-down the whistle-blowers who put it out in the open.

And the rot is spreading. Selective application of the law is happening at all levels - HSBC launders billions, and pay a 300 million dollar fine, no jail time for anyone involved. But the DoJ defends its request for a 7 year felony jail sentence for Aaron Swarz for downloading academic journal content because, simply "he broke the law". Bank of America defrauds tens of thousands on their mortgages, and nothing. Snowden breaks the law to reveal systematic abuse of governmental power, and not only do our elected leaders (with a few exceptions) not come to his aid, but denounce him as a traitor and redouble their efforts to "hunt him down". At the local level, it seems that not a day goes by without some new evidence of abuse of local law-enforcement, such as that marshall who arrested a young woman for claiming that he'd harassed her, to a judge who didn't even acknowledge her existence.

Osama bin Laden, looking up at us from hell, is laughing. With three planes and a few thousand deaths he managed to move the US, a country with over 300 million residents, toward the path of the Taliban: selective application of justice, system-wide corruption, amoral acts of torture and indefinite detention, system-wide abuse of our freedoms, and violent, ferocious pursuit of those who bring these abuses to wide-spread attention.

We do rule the world, and for that reason I fear for us all.
Really if they're self contained, I prefer different points in different posts; makes it much easier to see what people are replying to.
Nginx is fast is because the programmer is brilliant. isn't it enough?) What I'm saying is that it is a good software. I don't even care that it was written by Russian guys. The code speaks for itself.

As for praising, well, I had no intention to read the code very carefully, but what I been able to gather from it, it was well-designed before being written, and it evented nature - processing multiple requests at different stages in a single process, looks very much like a instruction pipeline of a modern CPU, at least to me. That's, probably, the reason behind its name - an engine.
Since the UK is acting as the USA's slurp gateway, I reckon the Germans should be having a word with us.

Also, if the EU wants to block the US in what ever way, its going to need to block the UK too, since it will side with the US.
Was it possibly this: https://github.com/mumrah/source2image

It looks like it used to be hosted on source2image.info, which is no longer up. I remember what you're talking about, but not the URL. That's the only thing that HNSearch came back with that was relevant.
I've just picked up ansible, and one thing I found lacking was an example ansible repository with a standard directory layout and config documented on the site or on github. For example, it's not obvious from the docs that a nice way to set things up is:

site.yml
ansible.cfg
hosts
host_vars/*
group_vars/*
roles/*/{files,templates,tasks,handlers,vars}

Censorship is always the solution. Because the user does not know what he wants. Is this what you want to say?

What did Snowden really see when he took off.
If states get so nervous that they are willing to ground an elected leader just for powerplays their is some serious stuff going on.

Someone really high up pulls on many strings.

Snowden did not leave main media attention for over 3 weeks now.
Lets hope he has a death man switch on his data.
Idealistic and hypocritical. That is advice aimed at diverting attention from the full scope of surveillance occurring on the people of Germany.
> And you know what... that's great. Because you know what it does? It reinforces a sense that at the heart of the American government there's an intelligence community that's turned into a feral beast. A beast that seemingly can't be controlled by anyone we elect and it's wandering around the world pissing off people indiscriminately in its wild attempts to get Snowden back.

Unfortunately, I doubt that. I think that anything the US does in its search/example-making of Snowden will be accepted by the majority of Americans as reasonable and even virtuous.
You should try it on a retina mac. It's awful!

However, I am willing to put up with this for a while until maybe I can create an alternative client or something. Private communication is pretty important to me :)

Apparently there's some separation of front-end and back-end, with the possibility of running alternative front-ends. See near the end of this blog post: https://retroshareteam.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/using-retros...
I think for a ten year old she's got an awesome pitch for her candle company. Maybe that's because she's been selling since age three.
I think the issue is not so much the question of how long it takes someone to learn a tool, but the repeated cost you get get from using it on a day to day basis. (I'd still be super impressed if you had storeconfigs and the spaceship operator nailed in a day!)

For instance, I worked for a major computer vendor doing an OpenStack deployment, and watched a simple deployment there suck up 20 developers for six months, where all of that time was in writing automation content.

Repeated hammering out of dependency ordering issues, coupled with the non-fail-fast behavior, and having to trace down where variables came from turned us into automation tool jockeys, so we couldn't focus on architecture and development. The project barely had deployments extending beyond 5 nodes in the end from all of the complexity.

Ansible already existed at this point, but it provided major fuel for me doubling down efforts into expanding it. The goal here is not just the basic language primatives, but making it really easy to find things as you have a large deployment, and making it really easy to skim/audit even if you aren't a really smart programmer.

That all being said, Puppet deserves major credit for pioneering a lot of concepts and revising CFEngine.

While Ansible aims to be a cleaner config tool, but also focuses on application deployment and higher level orchestration on top, so you get some capabilities not found in those other chains (like really slick rolling update support).

Not that nginx isn't great technology, but Apache has mod_lua too. Also, mod_perl used to be very popular for embedding the kind of functionality you talk about in the web server.

What movie was this? I'd like to hear more about this.
We sell a software library and get exactly the same thing. When the payment is late enough I email them and say "your license is revoked".

The person/people I'm emailing never ever know that there's absolutely nothing we can do at a technical level to stop the component working. They say "oh my, please please enable it". Well, if you pay, sure. Payment comes as fast as is humanly possible.

In the case of design, my assumption (correct me if you've tried it and it doesn't work) is to retain copyright of the material until full payment is made. Prior to that point, you license them to use the stuff and only assign copyright when you have all the cash.

The standard for novelty in patents requires that the invention not be obvious to a person skilled in the relevant field. The patent filing itself is required to describe the invention in enough detail that it can be understood by a person with ordinary skill in the field.

What is the logic, then, behind having random laymen as jurors in patent cases? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a jury of people skilled in the relevant field?
Cross platform UI tools failed in so much as they failed because a) they were reduced to the smallest common set of features of all targeted platforms and b) they failed to provide a look and feel that was indistinguishable from the native toolkit.

Neither of those two seems necessarily unsolvable, however to a certain degree it forces the developer to give up many of the benefits of using a cross platform toolkit in the first place.

Of those two, b) is the more obvious one and the issue that is typically raised. I'm not sure how well Qt5.1 solves it for desktop apps. But looking at my mobile apps, they're already varying wildly in terms of look and fee. I don't think Qt apps will stand out. Mobile platforms are also fairly similar in terms of feature sets, so there's less work to do to solve a), but developers will still have to deal with different handling of notifications, etc.
Learning this concept will have rewards and benefits.
Marketing just isn't for ever one, is it? We all need to understand a direction that needs to be taken in order for self growth that provides us with a direction towards success.

The useless opportunities that are there, are endless with more then likely zero results on the presentation that had all the hype. Why even talk about it, happens every second on the world wide web.

So ask yourself this question are you a hopper? What is a Hopper? A hopper has no confidence in their abilities, looking for some magical dust that will solve all their financial problems as a start.

If l have your attention, l need you to do this........turn off all the other sites your on... including mobile phone.. See if you do this, one thing will occur; benefits have a price. The hardest price to pay, is dedication, we all have plastic, correct and some cards are not in good financial shape.

If you dedicate and applied these's two powerful words that will provide you with your "why's' of accomplishing additional or first time success in your life. The words you will learn will determine your focus, desire and why your doing this.

Why kid yourself, that is just wasted time and human energy. So let's watch this presentation and learn what them two words are. Yes l could have typed them, but that is not you being dedicated to your personal success. Review this, over and over, l do it daily... l listen to him... why he made me motivated.

Where does a distribution like Debian stand? Can the people who upload packages do something fishy and not get caught? Not that I doubt their intention, but let's assume a developer is forced to do it by say his state or through some other coercion?
Sure thing -- basically the 'vars/' directory on a role loads in variables that are always set, basically constants.

One would hope that 'typedef' would define a type in C, protecting the programmer from silent incorrect casts, but of course it doesn't, because C hates programmers.
It wouldn't be a failure for you or me. Google started out with far more active users than that, so they have to be judged on a different basis. They shut off other services to force those users into G+, and significant numbers of those users posted a couple of times and then never looked at G+ again. Something about Google's actions turned them from regular G-Reader users into regular users of non-Google services. That smells like failure.

The thing is, while they may bugfix 12, it is now a dead platform. There are a ton of features in 12 that it is looking likely will never come back but they won't say what is coming back.

Looking at every Opera threat it is clear they have alienated many users already and the way they are responding to those users it's clear they want them gone.

You don't have to ponder this much to see what kind of abuse of power this is

How so? These countries have every right to deny aircraft entry into their airspace. Seems like they don't want to take any risks getting involved in the Snowden situation. Totally their choice.
At work we've already had this discussion regarding the location of the web apps we use. Not because we manage "highly sensible" data, but because this entire situation bothers us at many levels.

Although not 100% decided, the "biggest" change we are planning is to move all of our Google Apps email/server to a private mail server located here in Europe + encryption for all. This is a relatively easy transition. A tougher change is finding (if it exists) a Box alternative.
Yes copyright is assigned on final payment. I was a bit naive back then :)
Face it there is already censorship and people pretending its for a noble cause like to prevent piracy or child porn or whatever I'm just taking it to its logical next step. Protecting your countries users from foreign spying.

Edit: I'm not saying its right but if we're already doing the wrong thing why not make it entertaining and beneficial to local business.
Much of your offshore traffic may well pass through US-Europe trunks anyway, so any web service will find it difficult or impossible to avoid this problem.
I think it's quite frustrating that apparently nobody in this comment thread bothered to read the relevant laws.

It is a sufficient defence in law to state that you do not have access to the key file. The only requirements being that you can show some backing and that the prosecution cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you do have access to it.
I love how the first result when you google "chef-solo" is a list of all the things that it won't do for you, all of which are stated in jargon that a beginner cannot understand.

It might be more direct to replace that page with a single sentence: "chef-solo: We're Not Interested And You Shouldn't Be Either."

Or, might we consider compiling a friendly list of the great things chef-solo could do for you? I was going to work on that, but now I'm tinkering with Ansible instead.
OP should bold the headers. If he doesn't understand how to make an article readable, it makes me question whether he understands how to make code readable.

Anyway, the fact that he thinks these need to be stated is interesting in and of itself. Points 1-3 just come down to judgement that you develop as your career progresses. You start to know when a problem should be googled, when a library is necessary, or when something should be rolled on your own. There's no way to feel this in your bones without practicing and running into what it feels like when it's been violated.

Making quick fixes vs. permanent ones should be dictated by how corner-case the fix is and the time that would be consumed to make an abstraction to handle it cleanly. It's about striking a balance between over and under engineering. Again, this comes down to judgement and experience.

It's seemingly easy to understand this on an intellectual level. Getting on an experiential level is another thing altogether.

Ignoring warnings is an obvious no-no.
Shared Command
Hmm, I remember for sure that the domain was not that.
That is similar to what it was I am looking for, but the version I knew of would apply different effects to it (Similar to themes in Sublime) and slant the text and everything.

If you care, you can watch every packet being sent and received. If the OS is open, you can figure out where they came from.
That's just what I wanted to say. I call it "debugging by superstition." I think there's a fine line between this and a useful hunch, but there is a difference. Superstitious debugging is rapid-fire, change-a-line-and-try-again. A hunch extrapolates from the evidence and your experience, and it leads to an experiment to prove or disprove it. In the sysadmin world, Rachel by the Bay has some great stories about following hunches.

I would not put it past anyone in this circus (which the US is making) taunting the US by letting such a rumor slip in order to see what is what.

If that is true, and this was the American response, then is suggests we (the Americans) are more frazzled than we should be at this point. Whom ever is heading up the recovery effort in DC is making poor decisions at this point.

Apache executes dynamic code using modules that it loads at boot time. Nginx makes you compile in the ones you want to use. That helps make it faster.
I think the point that the OP and others are trying to make is that there's plenty of places all over the world that satisfy those interests. Just because this site allows un-moderated user submissions and comments doesn't mean it's for general news. The OP and others (me included) are lamenting the fact that the popularist stories about social liberties are replacing the perhaps less popular stories about hardware design or compilers or new research in computer science. Unfortunately it has been demonstrated time and time again that popularity destroys communities.

"Reverse proxy" is not an "additional feature" of nginx.

Apache can serve as a reverse proxy to a web server, or even a fully functional forward proxy for lan users to the internet.

Nginx was never meant to have more features than Apache, it's intended to be lightweight and fast.

If you can imagine it, Apache is likely to have a module for it. With nginx, not so much.
Along these lines, I've wondered if a company that is being asked to pay, paying or has paid them could engage customers via a "Troll Tax" (not necessarily phrased that way of course) line item on on their bills/shopping cart totals?

Seems like it would be a great way to raise attention around a practice that most reasonable people find despicable.

I'd guess that folks with existing agreements/settlements might be barred from such things, but if a highly visible company were to do this while a case is pending I'd think it could be effective.
Used Chef before. In current gig, it's just me managing stuff. I picked Ansible over Chef and Puppet cause it's low(no) barrier to entry and simplicity. Also ability to ad-hoc commands means I didn't have to use another tool for that.

In the 1year since, Ansible has exploded in capability. It isn't quite as low barrier anymore (more to config language) but still gobs lower than others. While adding much sophistication.

I wouldn't even consider Puppet or Chef anymore. Salt or Ansible. Although, Python guy, so biased more than a little.

Maybe it's legally problematic, but I can't make myself see it as being unethical. You've only threatened to tell the truth to a wider audience, and all you want to go away is what they already promised you. How is this wrong?

I'm pretty certain that the Bush administration was convinced that Saddam had WMDs. I'm also pretty certain that it was because we gave/sold them to him for his fights with Iran, before the Kuwait invasion.

Now, after we invaded in '03 and couldn't find the WMDs they started lying. Absolutely. But the basis for the war was incompetence.

Russia, France, and Germany seem to have much better intel, but we don't like listening to them. This seems to cross administration lines so it's not quite clear what the problem is (although that doesn't prevent a lot of speculation).
Exactly. The NSA's purpose for existence is to intercept communications of non USA citizens outside USA borders. Right or wrong, it's simply why they exist in the first place.

The current scandal is due to how much they do it to USA citizens within USA borders ... without getting into the right or wrong of it, the latter is against the Constitution, while the former is not.
I agree, there's room for improvement, but:

We're talking about saving the very foundations of democracy, these days (things like: free speech). So I guess our UI sorrows will have to wait a few days...

there is plenty apache does that nginx doesn't do. Also, as stated in another comment, apache can do reverse or forward proxying.

Anyone trying to argue for nginx on the basis of better feature support (over apache) is blind to the reality of things.

Well, typedef "defines a type", but (unfortunately) in a purely syntactic sense. If you're using typedef for something that's not wrapped in a struct or union, think hard about whether you mightn't want to also do that.

Yes. This kind of vigilantism has a way of backfiring. What is wrong of getting a title in court and sending the sheriff to take pledges? In fact, I never had to go that far; people have always paid up when I called, asking if their address was still good to serve court papers.
Unfortunately, as far as I been taught, there must be some inconvenience. General purpose bytecode interpreter, even with JIT, cannot beat optimized thin layer of C code on top of an OS's specialized syscalls. Just according to some laws of nature.)
