> I do wish more people would throw in with the Docker-based PaaSes that already have some momentum (Dokku, Flynn, etc.), rather than making their own.

We at OpDemand have been working on Deis (and its proprietary predecessor) long before Dokku, Flynn or even Docker existed. Also as jpetazzo mentioned, Dokku is not really a PaaS but rather a single server Heroku-style deployment system. Flynn is still in planning stages AFAIK.

> I guess the required glue left over is about on the level of a static site generator, which explains why everyone thinks doing one as a weekend project will be great fun

Are you equating Deis/Flynn with a static site generator? If so, you're dramatically underestimating the amount of work required to build a distributed PaaS that can support production applications. The difference in LOE between Dokku and Deis/Flynn is exponential.
I disagree. If you must not have your cloud storage provider reading the data you give them, then encrypt it before you upload it. However, if you merely don't want them to, but it's not a big deal if they do, there's nothing wrong with expecting them not to go trawling through your data just because they can.

Zombie movies / shows are never about the zombies. They are about how the survivors navigate that world. They almost always play with the humanity aspects of it all. What does it take to be truly human? What happens when the zombies aren't the only bad guys? Etc... Most classic horror stories play with the line between human and monsters, and that is why the genre has survived as long as it has [ * ].

It's never about just the zombies.

[ * ] Not counting slasher/gore movies
The plot of Walking Dead is survival in a zombie world.

I feel sad about hearing this, since it's like we take too many things for granted. We do not have tuition fees and we get school meal and good, usually motivated teachers which respect the students aswell for free.

I study in upper class secondary school and my peers seem to have no idea that they could educate themselves here and get high salary job aboard. Instead, they rather play video games all day and get drunk during weekend without committing any homework. This of course doesn't apply to everybody, but those who do make me feel like we do not deserve our education.
Well said. It seldom is about the number of hours someone puts on building something. It's the experience, journey and the continuous learning curve that matters. :)
> I'm of the opinion that people can adapt to less sleep.

Your opinion has been proven wrong by every single scientific study on sleep. Humans do not effectively adapt to less sleep. Error rates go way up, productivity goes down disproportionally, focus goes down, etc.
Um, I never said that anybody did anything illegal. In fact, that was the central point of my comment.

A finger can easily be forcefully used or even removed for use later. A password however is still harder to get out of a brain and can be just as strong if it is long/complex enogh.
I still watch it, but it's more out of loyalty than quality.
Where "somehow you find strength to work that many hours" actually means "somehow you find self-deception to blind yourself to the fact that you're harming your company, not helping it". If you came into work every day drunk, would you expect to be lauded as a hero or would you expect to get a warning followed rapidly by dismissal? Working excessive hours has about the same effect on your judgment, and should be treated the same way.
I'd pay for that too, if it worked well.
I'm looking forward to CHOOSING to locking the whole device, so that I can actually have a lock "code" (whatever form) that isn't subject to a 3-year-old poking at it so much the device locks itself up for an hour or more thinking it's under attack.

They have another one on the way too called Derek with Ricky Gervais, which was originally on BBC's channel 4.
People use radio-button questions to reduce the effort required by the mass to take the survey, thereby increasing the number of responses. In my own experiences, lesser people fill in text boxes. I find that asking open ended, non loaded questions works when talking to them face to face or over a call, but not over an online survey. I'd like to know how text based online surveys fare.
That library is in many ways deprecated and broken: At first, it uses only old-style classes because it doesn't inherits object explicitly. Furthermore, it uses print in a method; it would be more "Pythonic" to return a str object, which was formatted using str.format.

I think the future is Python 3, and new implementations in Python 2 syntax are simply unneccessary. I would suggest the usage of Python-3-style syntax, which is also valid in Python 2.7 (which isn't hard).

It just makes it a little harder, because the most logical communication medium between myself and my users has been taken away.

In the USA that's a hard sell because many voters have never observed it to be the case. While many people consider relatively highly-taxed California, New York, etc. to be the best the USA has to offer, many others consider them social, governmental, and political disasters. That's why they're all moving to Colorado! (seems like it anyway...)

I haven't lived in Scandinavia, but my observations of other parts of the world lead me to suspect that politicians and bureaucrats in that blessed region are simply less corrupt and inept than those in the USA. Given more resources, they deliver more benefits. In the same situation, their American counterparts just inspire more outrage.

No, I don't have a solution for these depressing observations.
>>Around the same 2 weeks during a semester the profs will load up on all the projects, labs, and other must-dos, across all your courses. Taken separately these workload increases are modest, but as a whole you literally start running out of time.

At least for me, this became an issue only if I didn't do the homework assignments and study the class notes. What would happen is that we would get a large project, and I would realize that I didn't even have a firm grasp of the material. So I'd have to work two or three times as much, first to understand the prerequisite subjects, and then start working on the project itself.

After I figured this out and started to study regularly, projects started to become progressively easier, and as a result took less time. Even when professors loaded up on all of them within a short period of time, I could knock them out quickly because I was already very familiar with the subject.

It's like picking up a new programming language. There's the learning curve of the language itself, and then there's the learning curve of all the tools. But if you are already familiar with the tools themselves, you can learn the language much faster and get projects done much more quickly.

Then the response to that GET has a 201 code but that is going from client to Server?
Microcode updates are volatile. Rebooting cancels them.
Yes. What they said. Social Fixer is not bound by any API TOS, because I do not use their API or any official mechanism they offer. I am not a Facebook Developer, and this isn't a Facebook App. This is, of course, intentional, because I don't want to be bound by the Developer TOS.

I worry that they could physically force people to put their fingers on the phone, though, which would be much easier than forcing them (physically) to input the passcode.
Isn't craigslist about the bottom of the barrel in terms of job advertising? I'd be pretty sceptical applying for a job posted there.

A PIN is perfectly fine for locking as long as it has a strict-enough backoff. For encryption, then, you need tamper-proofing rather than any particular level of password complexity.
I've never regarded fingerprint-only as an option, because of the reasons the author mentioned in the article. It's more like having a badge or a keyfob...it could be difficult to get, but by no means impossible.

Something you have: fingerprint
Something you know: PIN

Combine the two and you can be fairly sure only the owner has access to whatever's being protected.
The point of an internship is to give candidates an idea of what the job is really like. At the analyst level, bankers will be subject to abuse. Not because of resource constraints, but because the job itself is demanding. Deals are fragile creatures that need to be completed quickly, and F500 C-suite executives are demanding clients. They need everything to be perfect and they need it done yesterday. That's what leads to having less people work more hours and the extreme focus on availability.
I did not violate their TOS. This is not a Facebook App that uses their API, therefore I am not bound by their developer TOS.
...until the HTML changes.

I haven't look at their parsing code, so I have no idea if it is any better than using a regex, but if the regex assumes too much, simply reordering the attributes in a tag (or something similar) could break a regex-based solution.
This looks like a marketing stunt:

* the site does not have anything on it besides a video and an Amazon widget (go for the quick bucks?)

* it is not a real site, but a campaign on thunderclap.it (a new kind of service and really interesting concept )

* the video promotes an idea that you can have a good looking phone which you can customize however you want - who wouldn't want that?

* they let the impression that it's only the petty, nasty corporations that don't want such a phone to exist, just to be able to upsell us more phones and rip off our hard earned money, totally not addressing the technical issues.

What could happen (it already did) - the video and the campaign went viral, so:

* the authors of the campaign get a few thousands of dollars from the Amazon referral commissions

* people hear and see the power of crowdspeaking platforms in action (thunderclap.it)
That does you no good if you get nabbed with your phone in the decrypted but locked by fingerprint state. (which would be the common state since the password is a pain in the ass to enter if it's strong, so you do it on boot or something). So provided whoever has your phone can force you to put your thumb on your phone, forge your print, or cut off your thumb, they get your data.

IANAL but as far as I know the issue of divulging a passphrase has not been completely settled by the US courts. It seems that the courts are converging on something like this:

1. If the prosecutor can prove that incriminating evidence is encrypted, you can be compelled.

2. If you ever divulged your passphrase to the government or provided the plaintext, you can be compelled.

3. If you have not divulged the passphrase and the government has no proof that incriminating evidence is encrypted, you cannot be compelled.

If I remember correctly, the prosecutor cannot both compel you to give up a passphrase and use your knowledge of the passphrase as evidence against you (e.g. to prove that you controlled the computer in question).
Link baited blogospam? I knew exactly what would be in the article, and I think the title was reasonable for the contents.
In the UK that is true, but it's more complex in the US. My understanding of a recent decision is that the government can compel delivery of a password only if they've already proven from other means some specific evidence that should be available which is protected by that password (since in that case there is already "incrimination" from means other than self-incrimination).
This sounds to me like the issue is more university programs: people completing a STEM degree SHOULD come out of it able to take on a STEM job.

To be fair, college is not trade school, nor is it supposed to be trade school.

on the job training is often the current solution

10-15 years ago, this was standard operating procedure for college grads, as were decent training budgets to keep all employees up to date on skills. Only more recently have employers demanded a turn-key candidate while training budgets have been cut back or zero'd out.

It's pretty worrisome for the future. Many individuals in this thread complaining about lack of qualified candidates may find themselves unqualified to a future employer if they don't value training.

In the short term, I want to take on a hybrid quantitative/engineering role. A bit of analysis, a bit of coding.

I'd like to move into management for this type of work over time, but thats years from now.

While I'm not happy with the work, I'm happy with my coworkers and the environment. This (and the flexibility with my education) complicates the thought of leaving. Maybe its a set of not-so-golden handcuffs...

Certain forms of affective disorders (recurrent unipolar depression, bipolar disorder) are actually best managed with consistent drug use, and there's evidence that although things like CBT can help manage symptoms (and dealing with the impact of being diagnosed), the depression isn't situational, being on antidepressants or mood stabilizers is often the best treatment plan. A person with bipolar depression (or recurrent, unipolar depression) who approached it your way and decided to go unmedicated when they felt 'better' could very easily have another episode, which is generally seem as bad (since that's how people are killed by it). Equating serious mental illness with a limp or nearsightedness (and not recognizing it as a serious illness: 25-50% of bipolar patients attempt suicide, many succeed) is dangerous if those with it believe you and somewhat dismissive.

On a more relevant note, there has been more and more fMRI work on identifying the actual issues within the brain. I know less about unipolar depression, but some results have shown that bipolar patients actually have slightly different brain structures and vastly different neural activity during an episode. Science is actually working on figuring out the black box mind-thing, and hopefully it'll keep getting better at it. Treatments just have to slowly catch up.
