CentOS/RHEL guy here, and I have to say, SELinux FTW. So many times I've been frustrated and annoyed when people's first reaction is 'disable it' when they hit some problem (almost always due to using stuff in a wrong or nonstandard way)* instead of spending 5 min to get it working and having far more security.

* (That, and custom programs that use perversely wrong paths, e.g. web content in /home, logs in the application directory, etc.)

Yeah sorry, I think you have a lot of basics missing so it would take several years and experiencing the world lots more for you to understand it.
This is pretty much how it's been in Iceland for several years now.
"100 years ago there was a common saying, as rich as an Argentine, like we might say as rich as an oligarch today."

You can say the same today. The problem with Argentina is that while it got a GDP equal to Canada in last century, the money was never good distributed, like in Canada, Germany or France.

So just a couple of people will own more than half Texas(Argentina is big) while the rest of the population could only live as servants.

Today big latifundistas still own most of Argentina, and they buy the gobertment like in the past.

> That's the first thing that came into my head. Yes, thank you, I WANT a compiler that Just Works. The last thing I want to debug is stuff my compiler throws up when it thinks it's smart.

Then you should stay away research and toy programming languages and stick to tried and tested languages and compilers. And perhaps refrain from commenting on discussions related to them if you don't have anything to bring to the table.

And I'm pretty sure it was a joke, kinda like Linus' "real men write their own device drivers" back in 1992 or so.

> By the way, GCC, in case you're listening? Fuck you!

There's a well known software company in Redmond, WA and a famous hardware company in Santa Clara, CA that can provide you with high quality tested compilers in exchange for a little bit of money and agreeing to their licensing conditions. No one is holding a GNU to your head.

GCC is an awesome project that has liberated computing in various fields. 20+ years ago you had to pay a lot of money for C compilers that were worse than GCC in every way.

That attitude isn't going to get you very far. GCC is a team effort and if you don't want to take part in it, then don't.

It's not a problem.

It's important to keep an understanding of the scales involved here. A gram of Hydrogen contains 6e26 atoms. So a nanogram of material contains on the order of 10^17 atoms. That's ten million trillion atoms.

A "beam of antimatter" which literally annihilates the walls of the vacuum chamber it is contained within may seem dramatic but in this case we are talking about mere dozens of anti-atoms. Against walls of solid metal the damage is so minute as to be undetectable with even the finest instruments. Even if the beam were far, far stronger it would still only cause erosion at the scale of picograms per trillion anti-atoms, which isn't much concern.
It's a truly excellent framework that pulls in the best in breed from the others but then puts a layer over the top that allows you to get things done (in a well engineered and testable manner).

The framework creator (Taylor Otwell) has an excellent book on leanpub and there is an amazing video guide site (laracasts.com) which is better than I have seen for anything (check out the free vids for an idea of quality).

Most guys used to say don't bother making a paysite (same applies for camsites) until you can drive 10,000 a day to it from your own network. Paid seeding traffic is just too expensive.

So general roadmap was usually build up a network of very niche TGP sites (later, Tube sites) and only push around to your own network (so no external crap or popups) until you get a soid audience of bookmarkers (daily returners) and once you're confident you can start producing 10,000+ outclicks a day, THEN add your own paid stuff on top.

Trying to push payments really early just makes people hit the close tab... adult is all about getting bookmarkers

Basically, the "retention" in the Pirate Metrics funnel. Facebook didn't want to put on ads until they'd build years of loyalty and bookmarkers. Once you're totally bought into the service, (one hopes) that you wont mind the new paid ads that start appearing.

>If you must, start off with setting SELinux to "Permissive" instead of disabling it completely. Then after a few days of running, go through your audit logs, fix any of the errors that come up, then set it back to Enforcing.

This is the best bet for something that's in production already, but ideally, you want to have SELinux set to enforcing in testing environments and create the policies there in the first place.
I'd rather not get into specifics, but between SearchTempest and AutoTempest, we've bootstrapped up to a team of four. My goal isn't really to get huge or make a pile of money though; mostly just want to keep it going and being as useful as possible, while keeping up with the times. (We really need to get the sites working better on mobile devices; getting ready to release a fully responsive AutoTempest soon...)

Story itself is not really interesting but a paragraph in the article got my attention;

A single line function makes sense because it allows you to alter functionality later without worrying you forgot about some instance of that pattern:

def logUnexpectedError(t: Throwable) = log.error("Oops: {}", t)

After I get it together and start keeping proper metrics:

def logUnexpectedError(t: Throwable) = {
log.error("Oops: {}", t)

> This creates an incentive to become "homeless."

Something tells me you've never had to deal with the homeless. If you did you would know you can't simply declare yourself homeless.

Here are all the ways a typical college dropout isn't homeless, when you show up to a shelter they'll ask these questions:

Do you have family you can stay with?
Do you have friends you can stay with?
Do you have assets you can use to stay in a sublet or studio?

Can a typical college studio say no to all of these?

The counselors job at the homeless shelter is to get you into housing as fast as possible, hopefully within the same night, sometimes it can take a week. Any longer than that and you start to mentally break down. They'll go through your entire phonebook and family tree to find a place for you to live that isn't the shelter.

> Public housing projects perpetuate poverty and crime and this will end no differently.

Public housing are a victim of their own success. People need help to emerge from poverty, move into the projects, and once they have built up enough resources they buy a home, or rent privately, and move out. After a while only the most indigent are left in the projects. So only the very poor are left in these places, the marginally poor have moved up and out. Projects don't start out a shithole, they get that way through neglect.

...and Agentina has an unemployment rate of 6.8 (with the highest salaries of the region) against 10.9 of european union (26,7 in spain, and 12.5 of italy).

CentOS or Debian. Go for a minimal install of either, then add only what you need (beware, minimal installs are very minimal; they actually don't even have vim by default, only a cut down vi). That said, if you forward the SSH port from the internet, use public key only for authentication (and if you forward ports for other things such as a webserver, keep it up to date) and you're fine.

Avoid consumer-focused distros like Ubuntu or Fedora; you'll also learn more by avoiding them as they tend to hand-hold the user and hide functionality and configuration from them.

Interview with Giovanni Vigna, iCTF organizer
This is an excellent answer, and (in my opinion, at least) really gets to the heart of the matter.

I'm not unduly obsessed with classes or design patterns in object-oriented languages, but to me the key benefit of functions, classes and design patterns is about defining a shared language of named abstractions.

These abstractions take care of details, so you can think at a higher level. The names are a common vocabulary shared between the designer/implementer and user/client of the code; and as yason says, if you choose your abstractions at an appropriate level, you can "talk about" (or describe/define) the problem+solution in terms that are best suited to the problem+solution.

And to note one more benefit of short functions: When you're talking about functions (operations) and classes (encapsulated state), you rely upon these abstractions to behave in a certain way. Shorter functions and simpler classes generally have fewer moving parts, thus making it easier to verify the correctness of the implementation of the abstraction concept.

What are you talking about? This is what Krugman actually had to say about Argentina in 2001:

"Argentina entered the new century in straits similar to those of a disquieting number of European counties today. With the peso shackled to the dollar, it had (as Greece, Spain, and the other so-called PIIGS on the periphery of the Eurozone do today) what appeared to be an irremediably overvalued currency sapping the competitiveness of its exports, along with mounting difficulties servicing its debt as tax receipts dwindled in the face of recession. The counsel of the IMF was naturally for austerity. The Argentines should maintain dollar convertibility—that is, a pricey currency—and trim public expenditure in order to cover interest payments. . . . [Yet] austerity in the face of gigantic indebtedness . . . yielded precisely the devaluation and default it was supposed to prevent. If the Argentine experience is truly as exemplary as the IMF once maintained, the story can’t be a heartening one in light of the turn toward austerity today being undertaken in Europe and threatened in the US."

In contrast, the Forbes article is entirely unclear. It fails to explain the key point that the IMF was not just advocating depreciation, but was pushing for the sort of restrictive government austerity that has been forced on Greece.

"it’s also difficult to see quite what is unorthodox or heterodox about following the standard IMF prescription for a country in such problems. Default, renegotiate the debt burden and devalue the currency to try and spark an export boom."

Krugman's point is simple and stands. A simple comparison of Argentina's GDP growth post-2001 with Greek growth post-2008 shows this plainly enough: one economy recovered quickly and the other is still sinking.
I live in Argentina and _I bought pesos at 11.665_ on the dollar yesterday. Today it's closing in on the 12 mark, at 11.85.

Lately, the Argentinean peso has been plummeting in value. Yesterday the official peso dropped with a rate that hadn't been seen in 5 years.

The government converts USD, if I were to place them in my bank, to the official peso. They don't sell USD, though. So I would never get real USD if I were to use my bank account in Argentina. That currency currently sits at 6.89, over 70% below the real value.

Now they're attempting to limit online shopping to, get this, TWICE _per year_.

This makes me want to flee the country.

The opposite is also true.

Women (and some men) tend to be very suspicious of male-only spaces because they think that said men are plotting to reestablish the Patriarchy. Not really, though.

Sometimes it's nice to have a safe space where you don't have to police yourself for the opposite sex and risk being misunderstood by them. I don't begrudge women their own space, and I would hope that women, feminist and otherwise, would not begrudge men theirs.

Excellent answer. Another view (dual and equivalent) is that you are climbing the abstraction layer. You should do it with clean abstractions, that do not leak. It's easier to write clean abstractions if they are limited in scope, so it is better if each function does one thing and does it well.
I have a thesis that the success of startups that operate in a market with strong network effects is often more about luck than skill and that, therefore, repeat success on the part of the founder(s) is by no means guaranteed.

It's like when a first-time golf player scores a hole-in-one. If you try to get them to repeat the feat, they can't because they don't actually know what they did to get the ball in the hole - they just whacked the ball in the general direction of the tee.

Now, take a thousand ball-whackers (startups) all targetting the same tee (market). If the network effects are strong enough, one of them is going to win simply by getting their ball closest to the pin. They don't have to actually get it in the hole - as long as it's the closest, the network effects will take over and push the ball into the hole.

Result: The ball-whacker is perceived as a genius and VCs line up to invest in his next startup.

However, if the first success was, indeed, down to luck, there's no guarantee that the second attempt will be equally (or, indeed, anywhere near as) successful.

This isn't to say that all first-time hole-in-one ball-whackers are just lucky. Some are clearly naturals. The trick is distinguishing between the naturals and those who were simply lucky.

It seems quite weird to me that 100 dates are needed before founding a "good match" (I guess that means something you date more than a couple times). Seems like an incredibly inefficient (and potentially emotionally complicated) process, even will all the "magic algorithm" part.

If this is truly a numbers game, not sure if speed dating or something similar is a much better approach...
Do we have evidence of this? I'd like to believe it's true, but there's a part of me that thinks giving people food and housing rather than money makes it less likely they'll spend it on drugs.

I starting learning computer programming while being in middle school, to give you an hint I successfully coded my first lines using the beginning of PHP 5.2 in 2007.

I am sorry if "I wasted your time", I didn't say that I master all this languages but I am pretty confident with most of them. I will not list all my skills and experiences but to give you a brief example:

C/C++: I wrote tens of thousands lines while writing UNIX and video games team projects.
PHP: Thousands lines for various projects, personal website, URL shortener engine, blog engine for friends...
Objective-c: During my first year internship I wrote and published 2 iOS app on the Apple Store. While I had no previous experience with such a language, this may show you that I am a quick learner.

Maybe you are too much used to regular student taking standard classes at university, but my university is way different from any classical university. It is a software engineering school. With its unique pedagogical approach, we (students) have dozens of projects (about 60 technical projects just for the 2 first years). This is a type of participatory learning that allows us to unleash our creativity through project-based learning. It's an atypical university, instead of regular lectures we have technical/practical projects to work on, all along the years to learn by ourselves.
Not to "actually" here, but actually... while positron/electron annihilation results in just photons most of the time the situation with anti-proton/proton annihilation is much more complex. Initially you end up with a bunch of high energy pi-mesons (you can think about this as the quarks and anti-quarks pairing off, which isn't really correct since typically more than just 3 pi-mesons result from an annihilation, the typical number is about twice that). These then decay into showers of other particles. Photons, certainly, but also leptons/anti-leptons (muons and electrons) and neutrinos.

In terms of intensity you are absolutely correct though.

This is the real reason behind these numbers, Nokia's brand and distribution network.

Interestingly, Microsoft hasn't bought the Nokia brand for smart phones so once the sale goes through all new phones will no longer be branded Nokia. And after as short period of time Nokia will be able to licence the name to some unpronouncable-to-westerners company from China and Nokia Androids will be on the market to compete with Microsoft Lumias.

I'd love to know if Microsoft bought the distribution network. I don't know if it's technically part of Nokia or just a network of partner companies.

And another page:

Is there a similarly simplified explanation for why the black hole tends to 'eat' the negative-mass halves of the virtual particle pairs but not the (or at least more often than the) positive-mass ones? Just going by your explanation above, it seems just as likely that the positive-mass particle would be captured by the black hole, emitting the negative mass one, but since the black hole loses mass through this radiation, that must not be the case.
