+1 for Sphinx. For me, it's crucial that code and documentation are kept closely together. As in, changes to the code and the related documentation go in the same commit. In my experience, that's the only way to keep them in sync. Sphinx works great in this scenario, can output the docs in many different formats, default HTML output has search built-in etc. It's cross-platform (although I've used it on Windows and Linux only, I'm pretty sure it works on Macs as well).

This is good stuff, too: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/

Their verification service is annoyingly rigid. Anything other than a phone call to a number listed on a phone bill (and no fair blacking out other numbers on a family plan, for instance) or waiting a couple of weeks for a letter from Israel is rejected, even when the information is easily verified using online government databases[1].

I signed up last week because I wanted a way to send mail from anything@mydomain.com. GMail lets you receive anything@mydomain.com (like every other mail provider), but needs you to jump through verification hoops to send from anything.

With Fastmail's wildcard feature, you can just have a "from" input field that can be anything from your domain. And when replying, it's smart enough to reply from the same user.

Windows XP support ends in April 2014. Android 2.2/2.3 is currently at 28% market share and dropping.

There's a point at where you have to drop support - even if you've got laggards. Look at the stats for your sites, find out the percentage of IE users on Windows XP. A quick sampling of 2 popular sites I'm running shows it to be around 2-3% for IE/XP users - I wouldn't call that heavy use, but obviously it's going to be different for every site.

Charge higher prices for those wanting a dedicated IP for their site - pass on the costs which you'll be facing due to IPv4 exhaustion. Prioritise the more important sites for dedicated IPs. If the site generates revenue - keep it on a dedicated IP for a bit longer, if not then it can share an IP with SNI.

> scrypt/bcrypt do the right thing, regardless, and generate unique password hash for the same plaintext

I found this statement confusing so I looked a PHP's documentation.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php

Bcrypt does use a salt to create unique hashes for the same plaintext, it's just that the function is written so that a random salt is created and stored for you, you don't have to provide a salt along with the plaintext.

Other implementations may not work quite this way.
The population could make it costly by exploiting the weakness of state-of-the art armies of the time, hence partisans. Today the population can make it costly by exploiting today's army's weaknesses, hence IEDs. Future populations can make it costly by exploiting future army's weaknesses, which will probably involve a lot of hiding and striking from where robots can't go, and possibly cracking systems.

Speaking of which, has anyone here played Deus Ex? Rewiring big drones surrounded by large amounts of troops to reverse their friend/enemy detection was the most fun I had in months.

"dumb people who shouldn't be admins"

This is what kills CA security. Anyone at a employer with over 5 people in the IT dept probably has someone who can insert a CDROM but has no idea how to set up CA and SSL stuff installing intranet internal servers using https and a self signed cert.

So we're carefully raising a whole generation of users programmed to accept any self signed cert, after all "thats how the benefits website is at work" or "thats how the source code mgmt site is at work". Then they go home, and oddly enough their bank presents a new self signed cert, or at least they think its their bank, and much as they have to click thru 10 times a day at work, they click thru the same popup at home and then enter their uname pword and ...

Paradoxically as a budget weapon its excellent because you probably have good enough physical security at work and frankly its usually not something worth protecting anyway, but it is incredibly annoying so you can bring up at budget meetings that IT can't afford to fix the SSL cert errors on some meaningless server because they can't afford it, etc. Not technically true but J Random MBA managing something he knows nothing about, can't figure it out, so its a great budget weapon. Highly annoying but doesn't really hurt anything.

To fix this you'd need something like an enterprise programers union standard union contract rule that enterprise programmers will never, ever, ship enterprise software that allows a self signed key. Good luck defining enterprise software, I suppose.

And in the spirit of idiot proofing leads to better idiots, requiring no self signed keys means idiots will create their own root and train users to import any root they ever see anytime they see one. Then distribute a non-self signed key signed by the imaginary "Innitech CA services" root. What could possibly go wrong with training users to do that?

Should woman go to jail for avoiding children?

It actually makes situation for woman with children much worse, since she is alone while her partner is in military.

Gay couple with children, where both parents would have to go illustrates it well.
Anxiety as illustrated by this sort of plea is usually a symptom of an underlying mental health issue. And, like pretty much all health issues, it's eminently treatable. Talking therapies, counselling, journalling, and drugs all help. Talk to a doctor.
You probably intended only a descriptive term, but fittingly the Americans' opposition to what was called the "general warrant" was precisely what led to the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution. [1]

But you are correct that this is the likely outcome, now that the rule of law is essentially dead in the US.

1. See, e.g., http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Fourth+Amendme..., "The Framers drafted the Fourth Amendment in response to their colonial experience with British officials, whose discretion in collecting revenues for the Crown often went unchecked. Upon a mere suspicion held by British tax collectors or their informants, colonial magistrates were compelled to issue general warrants, which permitted blanket door-to-door searches of entire neighborhoods without limitation as to person or place. The law did not require magistrates to question British officials regarding the source of their suspicion or to make other credibility determinations.

"The writ of assistance was a particularly loathsome form of general warrant. The name of this writ derived from the power of British authorities to enlist local peace officers and colonial residents who might "assist" in executing a particular search."

Worrying is the interest paid on a debt that you may never owe.

After taking cognitive behavioural therapy, it really helped me to stop worrying. Preparation and organisation is a good way to combat excessive worrying.
I like your thinking.

Not sure how it could be fully applied if in the police interrogation room having been apprehended in a dark alleyway with two large bin bags full of steaming skunk weed, freshly purchased off a Vietnamese gentleman insistent on counting every note of that £20000 just handed to him. Maybe that is just an edge case though.

Perhaps a better idea (and market opportunity) could be a 'walkers rucksack' that has a pocket for your cellphone. This pocket could be lined specifically to act as a Faraday Cage, explicitly so that you can have easy access to your phone for maps etc., yet be fairly certain that your day strolling in the hills will not be interrupted by the office, the wife and other cold callers. Such a bag could be plausibly denied in a way that plain old tin foil could not be.

This is a “let them eat cake” response. All problems could be solved if one assumes endless resources.

Also, you are assuming the software is still for sale. Perhaps it never was on sale; perhaps it’s a student-only edition provided by an institution. The point is: There are two choices: Obey the restriction the owner has decided and deny your help, or help the child and break your promise to obey the restrictions.

The only "equalizing" compulsory conscription provides is when it puts men of diverse backgrounds into a tight-knit environment where they have to live, work and play together for the majority of the week. You don't get that outside of the military, or at least not in the same scale.

I like this perspective. Essentially you're removing the state from it's position as "arbiter of human rights." Just because I have a right to something doesn't mean the government should provide it.

Many Americans believe that all human rights should be equally available to everyone. (Entitlement, I suppose). Education reform leads to "common core" in an attempt to give everyone the same education. Which is why many people would take issue with what you're saying. Health care isn't equally available to everyone.

(though I'm not sure giving everyone the same education, or health care is a good idea at all)

Thanks for your thoughts.

I've had pretty good success with Cloud9's IDE.

I like that it's SSH based... I can secure it reasonably well and run any terminal command I need. It has decent code completion (at least for Node), a nice file tree view, can format code with indentations, etc... overall, a pretty nice experience.

The way I have it set up, is I work on a dev VPS (using their SSH). For any deploys, I check in my code, then can terminal into the production machine and git it. So, I can debug through the dev setup, then deploy to production when ready.
I'm also a big worrier. Talk to the people around you; talk to a doctor. chrisacky mentioned cognitive behavioral therapy; it's really quite effective. Dialectical behavioral therapy was formulated for people with borderline personality disorder but is effective and useful for many people, if not everyone. Make sure you eat! Blood sugar is necessary to have a calm, collected mind.
That wasn't meant to be persuasive, though. Here's a more analogous example from that same author: http://www.paulgraham.com/thist.html

A little like 99designs but for the backend/architecture part.

Was typing this out on Tumblr and the "Ask" text box ran out of characters:

Found your "Worry" post on Hacker News. I am also a chronic worrier. I blow things out of proportion in my head and get paranoid of people's perspectives of me, my progress, growing up, etc. What helped me was something my cognitive behavioral therapist suggested, which was to always ask myself, "Okay, [worse case scenario] happens. Then what? And then what? And then what?" At the time I was going through a lot of anxiety and panic from just graduating. My thinking went along these lines:

"What if I just fuck up at work and totally mess up my first opportunity straight out of college and then start back at zero-- no, I'd start in the red because now I have no experience AND I have a termination under my belt. I'd be fucked." "And then what'll happen?" "I'll have to continue living at my mom's, go through the hell of depression and job hunting." "And then what'll happen?" "And then I just get stuck in a stagnant job hunt just like last time that'll take forever." "And then what?" "Hm ... I guess I'll just keep job hunting and maybe get a few interviews here and there .. but augh, I'd probably fuck that up too. I hate rejection." "And then what?" "Well, I guess I could start working on some projects that have been on my mind while I keep hunting high and low..."

After a long throng of this, I eventually concluded that I would:

1. EVENTUALLY land a job SOMEWHERE, even if it's not ideal, thus ending my unemployment. I figured I could start there and build up experience so I could launch my career forward using what I've got.

2. I could get at least a couple of back burner projects done and checked off-- that would give me a sense of accomplishment, I would learn a lot form the experience, and maybe even turn the projects into something.

3. Hell, maybe if I picked myself up at work, I could reverse myself and do better at my current job and not even have to face this ordeal.

The outcomes can go in so many directions. The point of the exercise is to mentally go through these "horrible scenarios" to the end-- what we USUALLY do is imagine ourselves in the midst of the chaos and panic ... but we never take it to the very END, where we eventually get over it, find some solution, or forget all about it. This is applicable even in extreme cases. After all, people do suffer abuse and loss and eventually get through it. You can too. Good luck to you in your journey.

One way to combat worrying is to realize what you're doing almost literally doesn't matter at all, in the grand scheme. So you may as well enjoy it.

Another technique that's very useful: Try everything. A friend calls this the "shotgun approach." You start by assuming there exists a way to eliminate your problem. Therefore, the more things you try, the more likely you are to hit on the thing that works for you. So the most optimal strategy for fixing your issue is to just keep trying a bunch of different ways to eliminate it till you've found your answer.

Just remember that this requires a completely open mind, since you can't fool yourself. Also keep in mind the most important fact, which is that everyone is different, so just because X worked for someone else doesn't mean it will work for you (even if it's a doctor's treatment). So don't get discouraged, just keep trying things. You're bound to find something that works.

If both were in the service, they would need to get someone to take care of their children.

No, credit is created by private banks, but the money supply is controlled by central banks, for example like the FED does right now by scooping up assets (quantitative easing, ie: increasing the money supply). This is popularly called 'printing money' but obviously that just an allegory: nothing is actually 'printed', and the amount of currency (notes and coins) in circulation is completely unrelated to the money supply.
