Cool your jets - recruiters often parse/automate their email-sending habits (for example, if you've gotten commendations from friends on HTML, CSS, and Django or something, they can find this out) -- or do some basic searches and send a lot of those kinds of emails.

If you are interested in this job, and they have actually looked at what you have made, and you want the job, just go ahead and take some interviews (remotely, you might not necessarily want to fly to NYC for an interview that doesn't pan out) and BE HONEST.

You're not going to do anyone any good by dishonestly "faking it till you make it". Companies don't assume that everyone knows everything when they get hired (so there will be time for you to "ramp up"), but you definitely want to make it known up front your actual level of expertise, and things that you know/don't know
This could be the basis for a class action(?) lawsuit against AT&T for gross negligence in handling sensitive data.
It's a beautiful vision of what "P2P" could really deliver to the world -- just as you say, "publishing code into the network" and then the users decide the resources they are willing to dedicate to your software. We are, as they say, so close, and yet so far away from achieving anything like this that's even remotely usable.

Maybe we can get private, secure, scalable, DDoS resistant DHT working, and go from there? :-)
1. Yes absolutely. I tried to not talk about specific signing implementations because this was mostly about that simply signing isn't enough, you need a trust model.

2. I'm actually a PyPI admin, a pip core developer, and one of the folks working in the python packaging space. This sort of heuristics is something I absolutely want to add. Right now I'm mostly focused on closing huge gaps in security wise (prior to 1.3.x pip downloaded everything over HTTP, PyPI did not have a trusted SSL cert, etc). But Yes! Making it easier for eyeballs is a good thing.
Your entire argument depends on the fiction that users can't make their own choices, or that somehow your code can be made non-OSS once released.

Neither is true, and this hokey 'user rights' notion is just a thinly veiled justification for a paternalistic communist view of open source collaboration, in which you want to control not only your own code, but the code that other people write, too.

It wouldn't be so insidious if it was presented honestly, as a set of limitations on freedom for your own benefit as the author of the GPL software, rather than in terms of the moral high ground of granting freedoms.
Love that blog, thank you for the share.
Networking in an "MMO"
It's mentioned in either the LibreCAD mailing list or forum, can't remember which one.
None of their suggestions is an actual replacement (or 'alternative') to iGoogle's dashboard.

Nothing else I've looked at seems to work the same way. There's about a bajillion RSS readers. Even some that allow a dashboard layout. But I can't find anything (useful) that provides the same service as iGoogle.
It does have the ribbon interface though, right? Sure, it's still mostly there- but what made the original so great was its straightforward interface. I find the ribbon interface takes that away.
An offensive term fitting for an insufferable subculture deserving of ridicule less they become worse.

There actually is a good bit of problem with this method even in the browser space.

For one, which key do you bundle? If it's a central root key see the part about Linux as that's essentially what they do. Also the part about not having the work force that the for profit CA vendors have is relevant here too.

Hmm... was expecting an article on Butterfly Labs.
Photoshop Elements is (somewhat) cheap, targeted at the everyman, and suffers from those problems though.
The only thing a bit wishy washy is the "only affected 1.4%" part. If the billing system was reporting $0 balances for everyone, then only 1.4% of Twilio's accounts have auto-recharge cards on file and made at least one call/text in a 1.5 hour window. A large portion of the other 98.6% could be abandoned/inactive/toy accounts or they'd have been affected too. The percentage of active accounts affected was probably much higher, for some reasonable definition of active.

That said, I'm being pedantic to mention it. I think the situation was very well handled.
Interview with an Iranian hacker
According to the reports that has produced Kavoosh News Agency of this Iranian hacker,he has acknowledged that:

"the relevant organizations and IT companies do not value to Iranian hackers that have great ideas and healthy incentives and the government, does not special support properly and sometimes with them Does a serious encounters.Also the mistaken belief raised in public opinion, media and the press that hackers, people with the intention of damaging that are Following stealing the personal information of other users , in an original and based this knowledge , those individuals are Crackers.Hackers are individuals with healthy motivated and all hackers are disagree with raising this mistaken belief and with servant are Hit off."

His international of the honors, participating in cyber warfare be against America, Denmark, Israel, and several European countries that According to their ,have been different access to network such as the Israeli defense industry and also other organizations.He points out that:"My father achieve a martyrdom degree of high in eight-year of sacred defense and I now apart from Martyrs values of God in other ways, to continue their way , will fight with enemies of the system with information and knowledge that having respect to this science."
A lax permissive license could potentially lead to a whole host of other problems including licensing problems. These licenses are not free from incompatibilities either, see the infamous BSD advertising clause for an example of that. And a permissive license certainly would not guarantee the project stay "unencumbered" either. The most adequate solution to this would be to either work on persuading RibbonSoft to relicense under GPLv3, or to just do a workaround. Attacking the GPL serves no purpose, even if you disputed the choice of license it would make more sense to criticize RibbonSoft than it would to criticize the FSF just for writing the GPL.
Web Tools Weekly
Advantages of web applications over desktop applications
Spotify is known for its shady tricks. Try figuring out that the client consumes a very large portion of your upload bandwidth. Another one is when they enabled the "local files" feature via auto update a few years ago, this feature not only allowed you to play mp3 files via the client but also phoned home to mama with a list of all your local music. There was no way to opt out of this, the client just auto updated and started importing everything from windows default music directory. It seems as though they update their TOS every time i restart the client also, who would read that when you are in a rush to start your music.

The way they remove songs from the library is also a bit disturbing, some songs become gray and some just silently disappear. The frequency of removed songs is also quite high, for a free service i don't mind but if i pay premium and tons of my favorite songs disapear for each day i'm not going to be happy.
Not a fan of D-bus. Too brittle for my tastes.

I'm curious, because you agree philosophically, what if I said my chosen VOIP solution didn't need any IETF-approved method to traverse NAT, didn't need DNSSEC (e.g. we could use NaCl to secure DNS packets, or run our own local DNS roots and caches), and didn't need to use third parties to centrally manage SIP addresses (i.e. we could avoid the centralization of VOIP through SIP or ENUM)?

Are you still in agreement, philosophically?
I remember when egold was a big thing, and every other site called itself a 'HYIP', high yield investment program -- they were all ponzi schemes, but the popularity of the larger ones spawned an entire ecosystem of these sites that were propelled only on the naive fantasies of those buying in to them. People truly believed that these programs worked.
>I'm also perfectly comfortable to personally and professionally dislike RMS.

Why?

You do know of course, the innocent spirit of this dear man was traumatized at MIT's lab due to closed source proprietary commercializing --before, but around the time of-- Symbolics grabbing and zipping up Macsyma, or, ...something like that?
What i find disturbing is the whole article revolves around trying to get spam back into the primary tab, exactly where no one wants it other than the sender

The BSD advertising clause has been dead for years, and it was primarily incompatible with ... the GPL.

The GPL is incompatible with licenses that impose more restrictions than it does, even if those restrictions are fairly limited, like the advertising clause.

I can't say I've ever heard of license incompatibility stupidity outside of the GPL. Lots of GPL problems, though: OpenSSL, dtrace, ZFS. Apple actually dropped GCC and invested in producing the liberally licensed clang BECAUSE of the GPLv3.

Twitter creates fake tweets from real users to promote new product
Criminals moved to doing fraud. How many us have been a victim of credit card fraud? There's over $190 billion of it a year in the US alone. That is over $600 per person. Imagine someone broke into you house every year and stole your TV or you are mugged 6 times a year with $100 in your wallet. Crime is still there, its adapted to the times.
I don't think anyone in the industry isn't aware of RMS' paternalistic and communistic motivations.
If anyone's considering it, now is the time. I've watched it for the last five months. The used price almost always hovers at 80 dollars. It is currently 54 dollars.
I'd buy it myself if it weren't just going to sit on my shelf, unopened, the next five months.

>Users already have that right with liberally licensed open source code

No they don't have the right to the source code of the actual binary they recieve under liberal licencing.
they exist, i know of at least one example. but they are not public (yet), hence their financials are not widely known. soon though.

your techdisruptive article is very much focused on the SAP take on this, transforming themselves into SaaS.

there is big demand in SaaS for real turn-key solutions, rather than the classic generic enterprise software that needed an army of consultants to even boot up. customers want this and won't buy non-SaaS anymore.
I believe it doesn't federate with OStatus, no, although it is built from some of the same features (Activity Streams, in particular).
Ink file picker dialog broken for anyone?
https://www.inkfilepicker.com/

Click 'Choose A File' button. The dialog is unstyled, endless spinner image; nothing's working. And I see 403 errors in Chrome's network tab.

e.g.
GET https://drpyjw32lhcoa.cloudfront.net/2cad9a2/css/bootstrap.min.css 403 (Forbidden) www.filepicker.io/:20

GET https://drpyjw32lhcoa.cloudfront.net/2cad9a2/img/spinner.gif 403 (Forbidden) www.filepicker.io/:35

GET https://drpyjw32lhcoa.cloudfront.net/2cad9a2/res/swfupload/swfupload.min.js 403 (Forbidden) require.min.js:33

Supposedly the dialog is OK according to the official status page (http://status.inkfilepicker.com/) but not for me and my business!

Yes, if 10 tokens, 3 lines and a conditional are not added complexity to you, I suppose we are.
Seems me and pandodaily have a different definition of "engineer"

Hear, hear. That comparison was insulting.

That's like calling a child playing cowboy with a plastic gun a member of the SAS; it really puts down all the hard work and skill of professionals.
Of course you are right, with such data you could build something like alexa. We are aware that this data is currently a tiny subset of the web and does not represent much, but it has potential if it grows.

Since we do not consider this data to be ours, we do not plan to charge anyone for the dumps.

Ask HN: A way to change username on HN?
When I first signed up for HN, like on most sites, I treated username as an alias. Over time, I realized I would rather have my username on HN be more closely linked to my real-world identity.

It seems rude (overly burdensome) to email admin asking them to change my username as an individual request.

And yet, a 'change username' form seems like it would take only a few minutes to code.

My guess is this may be a common regret?
I should lay out the options for you, so you can understand them.
LibreCAD is GPLv2 only, it has code from Ribbonsoft and also from independent contributors.
In order for them to transition to GPLv3, the following must occur:
- Ribbonsoft has to clear the code release with their legal department again to see if any contracts prevented parts of the code being released with such a license, then to approach the contractors who contributed to the program and get their input, then they have to go through and see if any patent licenses they have for their code would prevent such a transition. This equates to a lot of money that Ribbonsoft may not want to dish out again.

- Any contributors to LibreCAD who used GPLv2 only licenses or didn't assign copyright to the team would have to be contacted and their permission would have to be obtained for a change.

- Any other GPLv2 only code would have to be stripped out in order to obtain compatibility with GPLv3

On the other hand, the FSF holds all the copyrights to the LibreDWG codebase. It would cost them nothing to change the license to GPLv2, nor would it waste any time with reimplementation of code already out there.

The answer is so simple that I'm finding it difficult to believe that you still can't see it.
"Coursera has taken the lead in responding. The company announced in May that it was partnering with several organizations, including the Viktor Pinchuk Foundation in Ukraine, to provide subtitling for lectures in select courses in Arabic, Japanese, Kazakh, Portuguese, Russian, and Ukrainian."

Like the pro bono of lawyers, Senator Ron Wyden(Oregon), the senator attacking PRISM, etc, should legislate all those thousands(?) of language specialists of the NSA and CIA be required to translate MOOC courses for our third world brothers and sisters. All these specialists could learn new subjects too.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Not in this case, no.
It's a bit strange that you blame then GPL when it is just as much the authors of the incompatible licenses' fault, especially when in some cases it's completely their fault because the authors of those licenses deliberately wrote them with the intent of being incompatible with the GPL. Additionally I find it strange that you fault the values of the GPLv3 for Apple ditching gcc, rather than faulting Apple for being an abusive proprietary company that has problems with the values that the GPLv3 imposes. As if the FSF should be working to please Apple?
Ah, that explains Ruby's concurrency situation.

(It's a joke, I understand the difficulty involved with concurrency in interpreted languages. But given that both Elisp and Ruby are well-known for having trouble with threading, well, too hard to pass up!)

The sad part is that for a long time the 7% per week he promised was actually possible with arbitrage if you knew what you were doing (though probably not at the scale he was operating at). There are a few more lawsuits/prosecutions likely in the pipeline - Bitinstant for one.
Jack Chalker sited Framemaker and Borland Sprint as favorites because of their EMACS-like features: http://web.archive.org/web/19990819062835/http://jackchalker...

This is one of the most inspiring videos I've had the pleasure of watching. This gives me hope for when (if) I become an old man myself. I do a lot of creative work, and if I ever lost the ability to do or experience those things. It'd just be devastating. Time goes by so quick.
It would have been ok if they hadn't made so many assumptions, telling me to go home, etc. just saying "this will not work on a phone or tablet" wold have been much better.

Assumptions they made:
* you are not at home, (I am sitting on the couch)
* you have a desktop at home (I have an aging five year old iMac, which I won't be upgrading any time soon)
* a tablet is a mobile device (no, it's mostly used at home, not on the road)

Response to a dead comment ("Just saying that without elaborating isn't very useful. Or credible."):

I elaborate a bit more on the subject in an older blog post: http://blog.mikebourgeous.com/2012/10/02/the-ideal-arm-platf...

You don't have to take my word for it. You can search the web for RPi USB or Raspberry PI USB problems, or even do your own tests.

Try running dd if=/usb/storage/some/file of=/dev/null and see just how slow it goes. The fact that the Ethernet interface is connected over USB is also a problem, because it hogs what precious little bandwidth the RPi has. Try running a bandwidth test from the RPi to another computer on your LAN; you probably won't come close to 100mbit/s.

No doubt the RPi is good at a lot of things, but USB performance and network bandwidth are not among those things.

You forgot the MBP Retina 13"?

Is NASA saying that there is a huge arrow in space pointing to Earth, right below us? It's twice the size of our planet and nobody ever noticed it? Wow... It looks like we are too busy looking into other planet problems to notice our own.

have you tried paint.net? i really like it for doing pixel art.
I remember my mom telling me stories about Sun's glory days, and me thinking that it seemed sort of unbelievable that any workplace would be as wild as she described. Interesting to see a lot of the same sort of stories being told here and more. She was there from 1988 to 2008. I wonder what the Solaris, mysql, and Java teams are like now that it's run by The Evil Empire.

No, if you'll re-read my post you'll see how I described that even if you view this issue in a vacuum, the other parties are still at fault as well. Apple especially does not want you to "get along," and especially not if you're releasing something on their app store. Now please stop this blind hatred and FUD spreading, it's not constructive.

Prisoner's Dilemma In Real Life
[2] in above was a very impressive talk. Mr. Goodspeed appears quite comfortable on stage, although I think his 'antiforensics' was somewhat less interesting than the notion of exploiting the fact that so many USB drivers exist and that flashing device firmware isn't super difficult. Probably a ton of exploits are possible by building device firmwares that behave unexpectedly and have not so robust drivers in the OS. Dropping a stack of malicious thumbdrives with not just evil.exe on them, but actual evil firmware is an interesting concept.
Huh, before reading this article - I didn't know you could turn the tab interface off. I thought I'd try it, just so I would be able to nitpick and say "Hey! You think it's a choice for them, but it actually ain't!".

If you'd like to disable the tab interface in GMail, here's how you do it: Log on, click the gears in the top right corner - below your user profile icon. Select "Configure inbox" and de-select "Social" and "Promotions".

I first thought it was impossible to do this when I found this configuration page, because the first option is "greyed out" and unclickable.

This seems like the first time you're allowed to not eat the Gone Google Again-bullet - which is good for me as a user! Sometimes I really don't want to get your new feature or design.
I have fairly standard clients and what I usually work on is closer to a CNN page than the page Macaw demoed. And more often than not, it's from scratch.
