I had the exact same issue. I launched a new droplet and installed Tomcat. Then got busy with other stuff. The next day I get an email that my droplet has been used for DDOSing. And am like clueless as it was a fresh droplet. I ask them more details about the attack but they do not reveal anything. I don't even know which files were responsible and where they directed the traffic to. They disable the droplet completely. The password for the server was their default created one so I don't think a security breach really happened. In over 7 years of working with plenty of hosts, this is the first time this has happened.
Do both; but the job should be more important to you (unless you're planning on staying in academia).
You still run a risk of sounding like an idiot if you use this construction. Personally, I would wait a few more years before adopting it in all situations.
Yep - I've got some footage from ~$130 worth of gear here:

I'd agree that you'd easily be able to replicate 95% of what they've done for under $600 (so long as you don't count the time you'd spend researching/building/learning - FWIW, I wouldn't sell one of these hypothetical $600 autonomous camera planes to someone else for less than a few grand - my time, warranty, and liability would easily add up to that.)

I would think it depends. If you mean to remake it all in stunning 3d HD then a lot larger. If you leave it really blocky (but 3d) then perhaps not that much...
for scrypt, does r = 1 and p = 8, or are those values swapped in the pseudocode?
No, I thought that too. In fact, I was disappointed. I thought it might go on about how useful a pencil still is. Some sort of comparison thing.

Personally, in my IT capacity, I still love going to meetings, seeing all the non tech people with their various electronic toys, and I get out a pencil and a pad of note paper...

Weakly amusing, true, but it also makes a semi-serious point. Im a tech guy who will not waste money on technology for the sake of it. I like to see real benefit for the money spent. On top of that, during such meetings, Im never the one who holds up proceedings taking notes. Kind of help ram the point home.
Headlines That Work: Has Science Finally Settled the Geek/Nerd Debate?
Perhaps I'm misreading this, but the pricing for Digital Ocean seems wrong.

For example, the "Cheapest servers with at least 16GB of RAM" lists a Digital Ocean 16GB server, 8 cores for $7.247/mth.

Looking on their site, I see that this would cost $160/mth.

Am I missing something?
GoDaddy? Really?
> Additionally, the justness of military conflicts these days is far more questionable than in the past.

Er, what?
I agree that that would be more honest, if it's possible - maybe this company could add something like that to their product line. I just think that, although it isn't technically correct, non-tech parents would probably consider this "building a computer", and if their goal is to open their children's minds to computers this will probably do a great job.
Actually you're both right. (and you're therefore both wrong, because contradictions).

The "because ___" construct has the nice effect of making the listener associate multiple connotations of the ___ word. So in the case of politics, it means "handwavy politics without explanation" and "because this is always the excuse" and "politics fucks everything up" and all the other things you associate with the term. Similary because aliens invokes what you said, since we know that aliens are just a lazy excuse commonly used, and also they are basically magical beings (in common vernacular) so anything can be attributed to them (like fairies).
You've described Dwolla's FiSync [1]. And you're right; in every case where the industry has gotten together to make ACH faster or agree on a new standard, the potential impact on wire transfer revenue was cited as the reason not to move forward. Building a new standard from the bottom-up, as Dwolla is trying to do, is nigh impossible when most credit unions and banks actively profit from limiting the liquidity of money.

Undefined behavior is a perfectly acceptable abstraction [1].

The C specification is pretty clear on what it has purposefully left undefined which has made it rather resilient to changes in underlying hardware architectures.

Must be why Haskell's run-time support is written in C [2]

BTW, Solaris 11 and OpenIndiana support Linux Branded zones. These have a linux user land and are mostly syscall compatible with Linux, so many linux programs can be run on them as is. I suspect that SmartOS took that out, but OmniOS (the Illumos distribution I'm using) still has that feature.
By time-sharing, does he mean sharing computing time on a cluster? I work on my university's cluster and on bad days, my jobs are queued for 4 hours and then run for 20 minutes...
The need for it isn't quite as much in populated areas either, at least for OSM's purposes. Bing's aerial imagery is fairly high-resolution and timely over cities (at least cities in the western world), and they allow use of it as a layer to trace OSM features from: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bing
Actually, since the camera currently has no ability to focus (fixed to infinity), it only works well for large type far away. It works best with large signage.
A compromise car is one that is worse, on the whole. The Model S is clearly not one of those for people who drive the normal amount in normal sized bursts.

Would you call a BMW 335i hardtop convertible a compromise car because it's not suited to snowy conditions? Cars that are aren't as much fun to drive, are they compromises?
Check your local laws first.

I see lots of $5k+ multicopter/camera setups for sale at _big_ losses here in Australia, when people obviously got all excited about starting their own aerial photography business – then bumped into the legal reality of flying these things commercially as opposed to being a hobbyist.

If you want to accept money for flying RC aircraft here, you almost need the same qualifications as a commercial pilot _and_ a commercial airframe mechanic. There are a few dozen companies who've got the required qualifications, and they're _very_ protective of their turf. You _will_ get "noticed", and the authorities (CASA here in .au) will come knocking.
Actually, it is possible that something exists even if you don't know or talk about it.

Thanks for pointing that out, it's bug in the pseudocode, but it's right here in the params file (https://github.com/keybase/warpwallet/blob/master/src/json/p...). I'll fix it now.
You clicked on a link in the "one hour/day" section. If you use the server for one hour each day for a month, on Digital Ocean it will run you $7.247. In the Presets panel, there are other sections showing rates for 24 hours/day for three years, or 8 hours/day for three years. And of course you can put together any combination you like by editing the form.

We did struggle with how to present all these options clearly without creating a gigantic form. Suggestions welcomed!
You might want to check Betterment (https://www.betterment.com/)

It's pretty similar to what you're trying to do.
The gigantic tip and the lack of pressure sensitivity guarantees that this stylus won't work any better than the ones you can buy from amazon for a dollar.

It sure looks like its well made, but take a look at the end of it and explain to me how writing/drawing with it isn't going to be a horrible experience?

Give me some good powered USB ports for an HDMI stick and get the heck out of my way.

That is a profoundly good idea. Let the TV manufacturer bundle all their "smart apps" stuff on USB-powered HDMI stick like a chromecast. Then five years down the line when the manufacturer has completely forgotten that the model even exists you can just spend $100 and get a modern one from some third party.

With HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) they can even integrate controlling the HDMI stick through the TV's remote for a completely seamless experience.

It's probably one of those ideas that is so good no manufacturer will ever do it though and we'll just be stuck with obsolete and forgotten software.
I am not so sure internet idioms are of the same class as professionally written English structure. Otherwise UrbanDictionary and RapGenius should serve as the sources for today's written English.

These are two different genres. It's interesting to ask when something becomes so widely accepted that it is considered fine to use in "proper" english writing. If "because X" is, then so is LOL.

I actually might buy Google Glass just to have this app when I travel. It's the perfect app for Glass. I just hope Google can take away the auditory cues of "Ok glass, do this...". I should be able to just turn on Glass, steady my head, and get the translation.

I do have version control but backups. I am just angry with their attitude on how they talk to a customer
Authorization != { Acceptance, Implicit Approval }

Authorization would mean they have a piece of paper, a verbal order allowing the killing of people, or something to that effect.

The others are simply society's acceptance and approval that their killings are justified because of their job.

It's the difference between ethics (codified laws) and morals (societies implicit laws).

Ask HN: How would you become more determined?
If you wanted to become strong-willed how would you do it?

Is it possible? Are there determination exercises you could do? Would you actually do them if there were any? How/what would you measure to see if it was working?

Thank you for any thoughts/stories people have to share.
I have a couple thick-point styli. I hate 'em. I just got a fine-point Adonit Script, which is not without its problems (no pressure sensitivity, not much app support yet) but oh man I can actually DRAW with the damn thing instead of scrawling with a big crayon.

That said I'm still finding myself just reaching for a traditional sketchbook and a cheap pen when I want to do some quick drawing, and opening up the laptop to run Illustrator when I want to do Serious Work.
40% is lower than I imagined. That's a frighteningly low figure
I didn't know time sharing was still a thing.
It's the difference between ethics (codified laws) and morals (societies implicit laws). Society (in aggregate through our elected officials) accepts that as self defence for a police officer. Our laws could likely be used to prosecute him for murder (if the society that elected the prosecutor believed he should be).

* I am giving a perspective from how these systems _do_ work, not how they _should_ work in my opinion.

Pencil was just announced today, so nobody will have used it yet.

You might want to try Adobe Ideas and a stylus for this; it offers a huge, scalable canvas that you can scroll around in.
it's usually used in non-sequitur situations where a rational explanation for an individual or entity in power is lacking. For example. "Q: why does the TSA allow me to 20 miniature scope bottles but not one big scope bottle to get past security? A: Because, f-you, that's why." It seems like in most of these "because, X" constructs, there is an appeal to an agent that has a higher authority or extremely potent, or surprising effect: Eg, "because, MATH" or, "because, yay!", or "because, tiny subatomic particles!" but you probably wouldn't use it for the mundane. "because, that's what I do every day" doesn't feel like the same cotstruct even though it has roughly the same form, unless you put a strong emphasis on it, e.g. "because, THAT'S WHAT I DO EVERY DAY". Which elevates the mundane to something omnipresent. Anyways, I'm not sure what constitutes "explicitly ironic", but in the situations where "because, fuck you" are called for seem pretty explicitly ironic to me.
> Men like him lived a paradox. The penal system was supposed to shape them up. But its tentacles had become so invasive that the opposite happened. Goffman argues that the system encourages young men to act shady—"I got to move like a shadow," one of Mike's friends told her—because a stable public routine could land them back behind bars.

> Take work. Once, after Mike was released on parole to a halfway house, he found employment at a Taco Bell. But he soon grew fed up with his crowded house and decided to sleep at his girlfriend's. That resulted in a parole violation. When Mike went back to the Taco Bell to pick up his paycheck, two parole officers arrested him. He had to spend another year upstate.

This passage described a poor black man in Philadelphia -- the tip of the iceberg in the story. Today I happened to read about Toronto's mayor and couldn't help compare the two.

Toronto's mayor is on video smoking crack, is drunk and disorderly in public, shoves (assaults?) a grandmother, more, and isn't even removed from office, let alone arrested.

How can anyone have faith in such a system with such gross inequalities? The differences in cities and countries pale in comparison to the differences in treatment between the two people.

EDIT: a couple comments point out the differences between the U.S. and Canada police forces. Fair enough, but as different as Toronto and Philadelphia may be and as different as Canada and the U.S. may be, I can't imagine those differences are lost on the men jailed for smaller infractions, asking "What does it take for a rich, white guy to have to go to jail? ... Why should I bother trying to stay out if nothing I can do can keep me out?" I'm sure we could just look at police on Philadelphia's Main Line, maybe ten minutes away, to find similar effects to avoid the U.S./Canada comparison.

And you think those non jewish Israelis (mostly Arab) are treated as anything but second class citizens. Sorry, I am not the greatest critic of Israel and probably at some level think that they are pretty damn effective at what they do. However, go open up any report on how those people are discriminated against on a day to day basis.
>How would you become more determined?

Well, that's easy. Apply recursion: you just become determined to become determined!

(point being you don't need anything to get motivated (the definition of motivation should help, unless you were looking for a different term (efficiency?)))

Will is just a matter of practice and focus. Like a muscle, it can become stronger. Unlike a muscle, you can lose it fast.

"motivation" videos (e.g. inspiresauce.com) may give you a temporary rush, but unless you act on it, you're just eluding your work further.

That's my two cents.
We'd love to get more providers - would you be interested in adding some? Instructions are linked from the upper-right corner of the page.
> I keep reading these Google stories that appear flawless examples of exceptional thinking and execution.

I also can't help but add that they seem to go the long way round to figuring out what everybody else already knows in the end.

I can't wait till they do this kind of intense analysis on why their social network efforts seem to grind so many people the wrong way and then arrive at the same conclusion that's already been talked to death out in the world at large.
Competition should also help here. If InsCo A is trying to overprice coverage due to a recent disaster, InsCo B can undercut their price.
Even as an avid IPv6 fan (at home, tunneled, and awaiting my new modem to take part in Comcast Business trials), I have to question this:

> I would therefore look askance at any organisation using SO proper for their support.

I've come to view SO as more of a crowd-sourced FAQ site rather then a direct support site.

In that capacity it does a great job. But it either leaves a large hole in support when all non-generalizable questions are shoved into the bin, or it forces the organisation to split the community by having an alternate forum/chat/list where such questions are welcome.

Just because every other currency has been devalued doesn't mean that the USD will. The argument typically goes that the USD must collapse because it isn't backed by anything meaningful. Except that the USD is backed by the largest and most powerful stockpile of weapons ever amassed in the history of the world.
Canadian and US law enforcement are pretty different...

Edit - response to your edit: The US white incarceration rate is ~5-7x the total incarceration rate in Canada.
My summary of what Google did:

1. Ask what makes a good manager (the behaviors)
2. Correlate this with an outcome (turnover).
3. Move the needle on other managers.
4. See result.

This is a decent enough model, but you're working on the predicate that #1 is actually building a comprehensive model.

These things may be important, but the chance of them being confounded with other variables is high. For example, you'll find that people that floss are healthier. Getting people to floss, however, isn't the solution. It's that people that care enough to floss embody numerous healthy behaviors (and future/intended behaviors).

This is not to detract from what was done, but an exercise like this needs multiple loops to normalize. I'd be interested to compare this approach with just rolling out sound management training that is based on the last 10-20 years of literature.
See also another relatively recent grammatical innovation in English, the evolution of "slash" into a conjunction:

http://chronicle.com/blogs/linguafranca/2013/04/24/slash-not...

(Someone elsewhere in the thread said the "because" construction was unusual because prepositions evolve more slowly than words of other parts of speech in English; this is true, but conjunctions typically move slowest of all. Such times we live in...)
Not to downplay the inequalities that exist on both sides of the border, but don't underestimate the differences between the United States and Canada - especially when it comes to things like drug enforcement and the prevalence and nature of ghettos.

Docker doesn't require you to run an entire distro in your container. It's what a lot of people do out of the box because it's convenient and familiar. But as far as docker is concerned your container can be a single static binary in an otherwise empty directory.

There is a growing trend of people building micro-containers with just the bare minimum for their application. Docker is facilitating that trend, not preventing it. If only because it explicitly encourages thinking of containers as application-oriented, not machine oriented.
A bit of a tangent, but I wonder what happened to lguest .. and how does (did) it compare to lxc?

It looks like it's using a fluid solver. So, it's not that every particle is interacting with every other particle, but that there's a flow vector being established at each point on the screen and that's being added to each particle's position.

Disclaimer: I haven't actually analyzed the source.
There are, but they take a long time.

Basically, you need to take on challenges that are just beyond your comfort zone and see them through to completion, no matter what. No matter how much your brain is telling you that they're pointless, or that there's another shiny project you could be working on, or that you don't really want to do them after all. The point of learning comes when you push through that feeling and resign yourself to doing it anyway, and then you do it anyway and see what happens.

You know it's working when you finish that project that you felt was impossible.

The interesting thing is that determination seems to be intimately connected with self-confidence, emotional stability, and judgment. I've found that very often (particularly early on), the projects I finished this way weren't worth working on, and there were shinier projects I could've been involved in. But with each success, I became more confident in my ability to take on greater challenges, less neurotic about how I might be wasting my life, and a better judge of what projects were actually worth my time. A lot of recent college grads believe they're going to hit on the "perfect" startup idea and strike it rich, but the fact is that most people are terrible at judging startup ideas until they have taken a few to the bitter end and seen what happened, and picking that perfect startup idea is a learned skill that comes from taking a bunch of ideas that seemed perfect at first but really weren't to completion.
