Well, great news for pypi. As for using salt -- I thought: "Well, I guess it's time I had another look, they probably have their security story together now, after all.".

So I have a look at the "Masterless Quickstart" and "Installation" pages [1,2] and find:

wget -O - http://bootstrap.saltstack.org | sudo sh

And the server answering on 443 on that host doesn't have a certificate for that domain, or the bootstrap script (clearly it's not configured for a ssl vhost by that that name/id -- through SNI or otherwise).

So, just run some code downloaded over plain http as root on all my servers? Great plan!

edit: I think I'll stick with Ansible for now.

FenixEdu has been in use for the last 10 years, and in continuous development over that time, so I would say it its mature.

It didn't started as a LMS, actually started as a Academic Management System. We needed a system to control all the academic administrative operations. Later we developed the LMS system connected with the AMS.

Right now we are on the process of replacing our old LMS with a new one. We have very cool ideas that we are developing right now (timeline based view for the students, tools for interactive presentations, transparent support for MOOCs, etc.)
I write down my ideas, and try to include enough detail to make them understandable by myself 6 months later. Then I can forget about them, which eases the mental load.

Once in a while I will go through the written out ideas and see if the time is right to implement or test them. About half of the ideas are lousy in retrospect, and there are many that are already being done well by someone else - so I don't do those either.

The good ideas persist, and eventually I try them. But I have really found just writing them out helps my peace of mind a lot.
When thinking about the merits of the mod, there aren't any. You can get mini computer cases for cheap, and they would work much, much better than his trashcan. So what we're left with is the "look a trashcan looks like the Mac Pro" joke with a more literal application, which is, as I said, kind of funny. Though who's to say a trash can isn't well designed?

Edit Since the link switched to the original forum post with more pictures: I must say the project was quite impressive and the end result is cool, though I still stand by my original point.
I suppose you didn't see the irony of you calling him an a*sehole?

The fact that you did it in some round-about passive-aggressive way makes you look even more of one. You see how this just goes around in circles?

Look, I think giving up is the wrong tact so I can politely disagree with his viewpoint - we should make an effort not to be dicks - but I certainly get what he's saying.

And in my opinion, this stupid bike-shedding about OMGGG!!! He called a project "Bro!!!!" is definitely an example of this.

People with too much time, and nothing useful to do.

Guys, somebody made an effort to contribute to open-source - and if you actually knew anything about the history of OSS, you'd know this isn't the first name that's caused some small group to kick up a stink.

I mean, jeez, "git" - I didn't even see the issue until somebody pointed it out.

Or MongoDB - I thought that was stretching it, but no, there really are people offended by that.

The list goes on.

Basically, there will always be somebody, out there on the Internets that will get offended.
If it requires a driver (and it does), it is a software issue. Just having a FireWire port, without a driver, is not enough.

So a sane OS should just not allow to initialize a DMA transfer from a newly attached device until a user with enough privilege allows it.

In an ideal world of BeWifi everyone will be a member and the internet will be shared between all the members.

Seems like a never ending cycle.
No need to let them down gently, just give them an honest answer, and it treat it like any other business proposition.
No, it is clear that it did not. The usage of 'man' referenced upthread was, probably somewhat earlier than that time, transitioning from 'generic term of address for a male person' to 'means of communicating emphasis when addressing someone (not necessarily male)'. It wasn't used as a labeling term for 'type of man'; rather 'man' was, of course, as it still is, the generic label for 'adult male person'. I still hear vocative and emphatic usages of 'man' though the vocative usage seems somewhat old-fashioned to me.

My assumption has been that the vocative usage of 'man' was originally associated particularly with urban African-American speech and got picked up by youth culture during the 1950s and 1960s, much as was happening with other urban African-American slang and dialect usages.

The trajectory of 'dude' in the 1980s (possibly given a significant push by the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High) was somewhat similar to that of 'vocative->emphasis man', though 'dude' of course had been a term that had earlier on been used as a label for certain categories of men (e.g. the 'surfer dude' and the much earlier usages that go back to the 19th century).

Whenever a startup we rejected seems to be succeeding, we go back and try to figure out why we rejected them. Occasionally we change the application process as a result.

We don't start from the applications though. We hear from news stories when startups are doing well, and then we go back and look at their application.

I read somewhere once that the suggested procedure for train engineers who are about to hit somebody is to sound the horn and activate the brakes, then cover their ears, close their eyes, and scream so that they do not hear the noise.

I'm not sure if that is true, but it really ingrained in me a sense of how horrible it must be to be so powerless in that sort of situation.
Have they implemented multiline lambdas?
I have mostly the same, but in clean text todo.txt with some minor changes:

-done tasks are marked with + prefix

-dead/failed tasks are marked with - prefix

-both migrated in a separate done.txt file to keep my todo file short

Good ideas, just ideas, meh ideas in a separate file (because these are not really todo -s and it is inspected only time to time)

So i have only the following sections:

-now: current work

-todo: list in priority order (reprioritized frequently)

-next: my next project(s) (categorization, ideas, timings)

This is how i track my life in a few simple text file:

-todo.txt -mentioned above

-done.txt -mentioned above

-notes.txt -people names, phone numbers and lots of other uncategorized stuffs

-passwords.txt -all my passwords

I am using two other important tool:

-browser bookmarks (carefully categorized)

-email (including 10 year history)

These are so important for me that I would never think about using some external tool such as trello. I want to be able to read my stuff in all circumstances, even after ww3 :)
Their reason for using Salt (from the Distutils mailing list [1]):

"> Can you say a little about the choice to use Salt instead of Chef? I don't really care either way, but am just curious. Is it because Salt is written in Python, or were there other reasons (functionality, etc)?

"I’d need to ask Ernest to be sure, but I believe it was mostly that he was more familiar
with it. The fact that it was written in Python was a bonus as well ;) I don’t think that
there was anything that Chef was missing or that Salt had over Chef, just familiarity
of the person who did most of the work. I’ll double check with Ernest to make sure there
wasn’t another reason :)"

For the benefit of anyone else who was wondering if the low self-esteem thing was true, it is; Bullies and bullying victims have lower self-esteem and for both groups the greater the frequency the lower the self-esteem.

Bullying and victimization: prevalence and relationship to gender, grade level, ethnicity, self-esteem, and depression.

http://europepmc.org/abstract/MED/15053498/reload=0;jsession...

This study investigated the prevalence of bullying and victimization among students in grades 7 and 8. It also explored the relationship of bullying and victimization to gender, grade level, ethnicity, self-esteem, and depression. Three survey instruments were used to obtain data from a convenience sample of 454 public school students. Twenty-four percent reported bullying involvement. Chi-square tests indicated significantly more male than female bullying involvement, seventh graders reported more involvement than did eighth graders, and there were no statistically significant differences in involvement based on ethnicity. Both bullies and victims manifested higher levels of depression than did students who were neither bullies nor victims. There were no significant differences between groups in terms of self-esteem.

There's lots of problems with this theory :

1) buying 51% of most companies is not possible without approval from the existing holders of power. The problem is that buying 51% of the shares necessitates buying at least a few percent from the current power holders.

These power holders usually vote themselves some amount of stock so that they can sell it for a comfortable lifestyle without dilution or with dilution limited to the point they don't lose control.

2) Even the 1) ignores the different classes of stock. Stock with voting power and stock without is part and parcel of the landscape these days and guess whose power it protects ?

3) Fiduciary obligation ... really ? How does that work ? (aside from not committing fraud and the like, which is really protected by other laws already) Can you give examples of it in action ? Usually management protects the stock price, for their own self-interest. They do not make sure shareholders actually make money (which is how I'd interpret said obligation).

4) Even where the interests of stockholders and management/board are opposed, I can name dozens of examples of where shareholders sues company cases were decided in favor of management. When not involving fraud, I can name none where shareholders prevailed.
I don't think there's anything wrong with deciding in a particular case whether the complainants are being goobers or not.

What I do see a problem with is just assuming that everyone trying to do their part to moderate culture so as to be more inclusive is just an Internet whiner. That's just anti-social and it perpetuates the problem of sexism in hacker culture.
Good luck. It could be a number of things, but please do see the doctor soon.

They shouldn't be allowed to fish for someone who will accept. The fact that one doctor disagreed on ethical grounds should be enough to prompt them to seek the counsel of others to determine whether or not to be persistent. After the second doctor refused, that should be enough to come to the conclusion that they should have ceased their quest to find a doctor who would acquiesce.
Not to be harsh, but in my first responder as well as my first aid training the first thing is "check for your own safety". If unsafe, then be as selfish as you can. If I was in a helpless situation, I hope I don't still try and help with the result that both don't survive.

e.g. fire and person inside some room is really far away, lots of smoke, cannot see, heat, etc? Close the door, you cannot help and you'll very likely die.

As said: This is taught during first aid and first responder courses.

From the article:

Well, yes, obviously it's "easier" to litigate when you give yourself less legal standing to file suit, but that's a rather meaningless comparison. By that logic CC0, is the easiest to litigate, because you've given up all your rights as the license holder. That only makes sense if you place literally zero value on the rights that the license provides. It's only relevant to compare how easily enforceable two licenses are when the rights they provide are comparable (e.g., GPL and MPL, or 3-clause BSD and MIT).

The whole point of choosing the GPL over BSD/MIT is choosing a copyleft license. If all you care about is ensuring that the recipient is legally granted the rights provided by the BSD/MIT license, then the question of how "easy" it is for the license holder to litigate isn't relevant.

OP's argument was that it would be too much mental effort to enforce the GPL, though that's not really an argument for not choosing the GPL, because simply holding the license doesn't mean he has to enforce it.

If OP actually doesn't want the copyleft provisions, then obviously he shouldn't choose the GPL. But if that's something that he does care about, there's not really any downside to selecting the GPL, and no upside to selecting a non-copyleft license.

They are one and the same; if you can understand a metaphor you can create one.

Ah yes, empathy is the enemy of intellect! Truly an argument made by a well-adjusted person.

That's now what they're saying at all, and the fact you somehow extracted that from their point really shows how irrational you're being.
Wow, that's quite an antagonistic reply. It uses posts that are "hot" within your circle of friends as part of it's "hot" calculation. If your friends like it, its possible you might like it too.
Maybe it depends on the sort of coding you're doing? And also how you use the computer.

I have both a Macbook Air and Macbook Retina - I have to say, I much more enjoy the Retina - more RAM (16Gb) and it feels snappier to multi-task.

I also tend to have a fair amount of browser tabs open (docs and stuff), so personal usage will influence things.

The author is the CTO of MongoDB - which is written in C++ - so speculation - maybe waiting 3x longer for a compile (or whatever the multiple is) is annoying?
It's a tendency exacerbated in groups by desperate financial situations. For example, the phenomenon of farmer suicides in India.
Police officers should be required have insurances to cover those lawsuits and any damage should be payed by the insurance company.

This way police officers who keep screwing up and abusing their power would get higher and higher premiums until they reach a point where they can't be a cop anymore because it would be to expensive for them. It would weed out the assholes and taxpayer would not have to pay directly.
Because it's gotten better, and it's so quick and easy it's ridiculous.
God bless that man.
As soon as I saw you mention SCORM I had to speak up. SERIOUSLY, THAT STUFF IS A MESS!

I worked for a Tutoring/LMS company for a while. They specifically focused on english programs for businesses and government agencies. We had to integrate our platform with SCORM and had content developers create modules for it. That's a really rough space to be in. We were basically the layer in between SCORM content developers who want the freedom to create lessons and quizzes however they want and the people who wanted sophisticated reporting on top of all this free-form content. Good times...
A primary election is an excellent place to screw the party leaders. They are looking ahead and sometimes find out that a decently coordinated attack can take away their golden candidate.
"Credibility"? It's an argument. You either agree with it or you don't.

That was most certainly an ad hominem. It was an attempt to counter a point by attacking the messenger, not the argument. Textbook, really.
Psychiatric wards in the U.S. are for very short term stays by people who have extreme problems. They take people who are at major risk of causing harm, and patch them up just enough so that they can be thrown out. And even that is being scaled down and sped up.

What about using JSP? It's somewhat Java and doesn't require Java on the front end(which is the source of most security problem).

On the server side, you have to look for the vulnerability of the web container that you are using.

I do not see how would a CA helps you in your concern. Yes, having certs provides you encryption when your data is travelling, and client side cert may also helps you as a method as authentication if you wish, but all those does not help you in the Java security problem itself.

I'd be interested of a different opinion.

Yeah unfortunately today there really is no area in Oakland near a BART station where I would want to be walking around with a pocket full of cash/tip money late at night. There's a lot of investment and excitement happening in West Oakland, and it's interesting to watch the process. But until they get the public safety issues to a somewhat reasonable level, I don't see it. What I see are young hip people moving in, getting robbed or worse and going back to the City to live in a shared closet for 2k a month.
Piazza is great at what it does: enabling discussion and making have a rolling wiki where they can talk to course staff about issues with the homework. However, they're alienating me with the career-recruitment spam - especially because it's not optional. Plus, isn't this all the more alienating for humanities courses? If it bothers me, and I'm enrolled in/TA'ing cs classes, it must bother the hell out of humanities majors with classes on piazza.

> Where was the study of nonsmoking 36-year-old neurosurgeons? Maybe my youth and health mattered? Or maybe my disease was found so late, had spread so far, and I was already so far gone that I was worse off than those 65-year-old smokers.

You don't need a 'study', you just need a comprehensive database that includes patients' age, smoking status, body-mass index, health status, and other prognostic factors. Then run a query to find what percentage of similar patients are still alive after 5 years.

Just about every person who is diagnosed with cancer asks, "What are my chances?". (And the best treatment usually depends on an accurate answer). Wouldn't the benefit of compiling and maintaing a central database of all US cancer patients be worth the cost?
