This also happened during the ending of the documentary film Terms and Conditions May Apply. The crew films Zuckerberg outside of his residence and he is noticeably indignant at them, being unresponsive to their questions and walking away. He then asks them to turn off the camera, which they do. However, they leave on a hidden spy camera, which shows how after Zuckerberg believes he is no longer being filmed, he turns around, smiles at them and politely gives them permission to pursue further questions at his workplace.

This is then used by the filmmaker to illustrate a powerful point. I don't really mean to demonize Zuckerberg, not at all. His reactions are absolutely normal and human, although his public history isn't particularly charming, and it's always interesting to see how a surveillance giant isn't any different in his reception to unwarranted surveillance from the layman.

I haven't tried a Metro version but the latest FF in desktop mode doesn't have support for basic touch screen gestures, and doesn't support the stylus. Same with Chrome, but Chrome will outright freeze on pages that so far looks like some weird scroll configs (gmail after opening a few messages freezes)

IE 11 has at least basic gesture support, pinch-zoom, gravity scrolling (whatever its called). But what I really love is using the stylus, and IE treats that as mouse input, so you get hover, click, etc..
If the Android Github app were updated such that the Gist support was a little richer for things like Markdown and those checkboxes, then I really think this might be the best.

The hardest bit I have with todo lists is keeping them current and accessible, meaning syncing across all devices and work-stations/laptops. Git is perfect for this, and this use of Github Flavored Markdown is pretty neat... the only missing thing is a mobile way to manage them efficiently.

I've considered putting security film on them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lFCbjV7NgQ

I'm a little less worried about the windows though because only 1/4 of unauthorized entries are through windows, and window entry is (often) louder, more obvious, and takes a little longer to get through vs. quietly picking or bumping a lock or swiftly kicking the door in and entering quickly.

Ask HN: Configuration management tools
We only have two servers, both Ubuntu, and I'd like to use some piece of config management software to get the required software installed and configured. I've dabbled with Chef and Puppet, but both seem very complex for my simple needs.

I'm tempted to use fabric because most of the tasks I need to do are just running apt-get or pip and then replacing the contents of config files with my own data. My end goal is just to be able to bring up a server quickly for testing or other purposes. Fabric seems to be the simplest option, but I'm not sure if it's really made for installing web servers, databases, and getting said software configured correctly.

I'd be very appreciative of any advice or experiences anyone may have to offer.

It is unfortunate that so many people are stuck in jobs that don't offer sufficient time off. It seems fairly common for employees to "start"* with just two weeks of paid time off (and many, I think, even lack access to unpaid leave for non-medical reasons).

One might argue that two weeks is sufficient for a week-long vacation every six months, but most people I know use most of their time off for family obligations and "work outside of work" like home repairs. This is a crap situation.

* Quotes because it is becoming less and less common to work for a company for decades, so the traditional system of awarding vacation based on length of tenure is becoming more and more insane. How many people never even get past the initial level of paid time off before switching jobs?

If you have a door that's not very strong and you can't afford to replace it with one that is, they do make metal plates that wrap around the deadbolt and optionally the door handle, which apparently makes it much more difficult to break the door itself.

I'd definitely agree that, at least for the moment, the EU's powers are much weaker than the US's powers. I think it involves the EU member states being much less compatible and much more storied than US member states, and also the EU as an organization being much younger.

I believe it's evident that when you fly a bunch of groups under a single banner successfully for a long time, what starts as a loose, powerless alliance with only administrative activities (as the US was originally conceived) eventually becomes a very strong central power apparatus (as the US has now become).

Maybe it'll be different in Europe where the member states have so much independent history. Everything out here was basically a blank slate before it was annexed by the Union. In the relatively few places where this isn't true, there is much stronger anti-federal sentiment (the South, Hawaii). I guess New England is anomalous regarding anti-federal sentiments because I think it has always thought of itself as the most influential power in federal governance.

> I can't help feeling that you people are all arguing about which Oldspeak word to abolish in Newspeak.

I disagree. I've worked as a consultant for many years and I used to be a "no, because" person, and I noticed a very clear shift in my demeanor and that of clients when I started saying more "yes, if"s.

Initially I didn't know what I was doing so every project was fraught with the fear I'd be found out, this meant that on really difficult things, I'd try to talk myself and the client out of doing them, because I didn't know enough and thought something simpler (that I could do) would be better. As I became a much better software developer, all of a sudden, nothing was impossible, and it translated into my speak with clients.

Instead of presenting problems, I could tell clients exactly how to do what they wanted and how much it would cost them technically and monetarily.

I'll just tell you from experience. People respond to "yes, if"'s a whole lot better than no-anythings

Git now has the git-annex extension for large files; I use it myself for all my data.

Thanks for those details, it makes more sense. People usually talk about the cost, which I don't buy – it's worth $10/unit, and these aren't super-low-cost units anyway. And in this case consumers of the Rex aren't going to develop something that will be the basis of thousands of units where that $10/unit cost becomes a big deal.

But I can definitely see how the regulatory overhead would be a big deal, and it seems like that regulation also makes other aspects of integration more bureaucratic. Like I bet a bunch of these chips could be used inappropriately (e.g., to emit stronger signals than are allowed) and they are using NDAs and such as an alternative to other security measures. In a sense USB wireless standards are the one interface/security layer that is well enough spec'd that it is easy to integrate.

I can't think of any place I've worked in the last 15 years that didn't start with at least three weeks vacation and a couple weeks sick time. Then again, I may be just self-filtering out those places by not even interviewing at the kind of place that would give two weeks vacation. 'cause if we got to the offer stage and I was offered two weeks vacation, I'd laugh and walk out.

Set up a repo on a server somewhere and declare it to be the "central repo". You and the other developer pull/push from that repo only. In other words, ignore some of git's capabilities and treating git like SVN. Just because you can pull from your teammates, does not mean that you have to.

I've been on a team that transitioned from SVN to Perforce, the again to Git, keeping the same workflow all the way through.

It isn't the way that I prefer using git, but it works perfectly well.
I love WordPress for it's flexibility, sheer market dominance and that I've made a decent amount of money from it. But the code base is aging - yes they keep the front-end fairly modern, but the underlying code for the plugins, themes and whatnot are in need of a massive upgrade. I'd like to see the entire theme and plugins system be revamped with a true OO based approach.
It catches on the shelf of the pin chamber. Every time you set a pin, the plug actually rotates ever so slightly, misaligning the upper and lower pin chambers of whatever pin you were working on. The driver pin can't return to the lower chamber, and now you are putting pressure on another pin. Find that one, lift up, plug rotates, it sits on the shelf, next pin binds, and so on and so forth.

Sure, but it's a useful perspective to help make a strong business case for it.

Not every company cares if their employees have "lives" and are "well-rounded individuals", but talk in terms of dollars & cents, and more businesses will pay attention.
Looking at it from another angle, I'm considering the same question, because I'd like to build the "You Can't SQL Under Pressure" somebody else mentioned in this thread. But I'm not all that happy about the idea of letting random users run arbitrary queries against a database I'm hosting, because it seems like protecting that against SQL injection and similar vulnerabilities would be extremely difficult if not entirely impossible.

I'd use the Web SQL Database stuff that W3C was working on, except that they stopped doing that in 2010, which guarantees the corpse is dead and rotting; unfortunately, the only emulation libraries I've been able to find implement various key-value stores on top of WebSQL, which is the precise inverse of what I'd need.

I suppose it'd be theoretically feasible, albeit hideously ugly, to create and populate a fresh database and account per user on a MySQL engine; with careful grants and a bit of scripting to kill slow queries before they can multiply and throttle the server, that might be workable on the small to medium scale, although I don't doubt a "Show HN" post would kill it in short order.

Thinking about it, I suspect I've more or less recapitulated why there is currently no "You Can't SQL Under Pressure"; it's a more subtle problem than it seems at first blush. If you come up with any clever ideas on the subject, I'd love to hear about them!

I have access to another Raspberry Pi that is used for a Gecko Board (fancy business status dashboard, with graphs and big numbers). I attached a motion detector (PIR sensor) to it and it runs the same commands to turn the HDMI monitor on and off.

The difference is that the HDMI monitor will turn itself off after 5 minutes when the HDMI port is turned off. That's why I also mentioned that you can just blank out the screen instead of turning of the `tvservice`, which will leave the HDMI monitor turned on but entirely blank.
