My friend is from England and the few times she's been to America the primary thing she's said is that the portions here are ridiculously large.

At places like Chili's or Applebees she ended up ordering appetizers and eating half of that as a meal. I got a regular meal but I knew in advance I would be taking it to go halfway through, as I usually do.
you are aware that "amendment" means "correction"?

That means it's the first bugfix of the constitution.

> They gave the most critical projects to this guy. He worked hellish hours to get a severely important project done, ... When he came back, he got his 2 weeks pay per year worked.

And thus was the lesson learned by one more person. We are all, each and every one of us, hardware to be virtualized and eliminated as soon as possible.

We are all, each and every one of us, an expense to be minimized. You may get along great with your boss and co-workers, mutual admiration all around, and the people may be loyal to each other, and really mean it.

But when the animal that is the corporation decides it needs to eject you, you're ejected. It may even fall to those mutually loyal people that you worked with to eject you. And they'll feel bad. But it's not them making the decision, it's the corporate animal.

So do a good job, but go home at night and play with your kids, or dog, or S.O. Don't waste your life at work, because work doesn't care about you.

Why risk legal trouble? Just sell it to black hat organizations and make tons of money with zero repercussions from outdated laws.

In this case I'm not sure those hacking laws apply, but who knows with these legislators. Anyone familiar with Swedish law in this area?
Is publicly shaming your ex-boss a thing now?
Big corps like IBM share surprisingly similar traits as an military army. The general in charge of the army commonly only deals with the grand strategies and communicates with a few of his high-rank colonels. He has no idea who is the most skilled soldier or lieutenant, or captain. To him, they are only a number, a faceless expendable resource. Throughout the long history of wars, a lot of times low level heroic soldiers managed to win some battles but the army still lost the war simply due to the stupidity of the general.

Yes, I found those checkboxes. However, I can see two use-cases:

1. Adding issues: I want to see everything
2. Triaging: I only want to see labels with issues

Thus, most of the time I want only those with issues, or all of them.

This also violates current usage conventions for handling numbers in text.[1] Figures are only meant to be used in greater numbers (a rule of thumb is anything over 30, but I think I read that in a David Foster Wallace text, fwiw) with more complex verbal / textual representations - that is, not "two".

Lol this is the market correcting itself and what do the Americans do when they see this happening? They make it illegal.

Typical American double standard the market will take care of itself but we won't allow it to correct itself it it's not in America.

Unsurprisingly this bares a remarking similarity to the problem copyright holders of movies, books and the like are complaining about when they make it more expensive or inaccessible in certain countries only in their case it just gets pirated and they get none of the money.
Yeah, I think namecoin is likely to be closer to the future, however, I still think the whole system would be more robust if it acknowledged that, for example, China and the US could run conflicting DNS systems and that this is perfectly OK, largely because this way we'd be forced to accept the reality of the situation instead of living in the silly illusion we have today.

The whole PKI setup needs to be rebooted as well, and I really can't believe anyone that understands how that works considers it to be a good idea.
This is very cool.

I'd pay $ (5ish) for a couple of other ways to use this:

Switzerland isn't part of the EU, but it does participate in the European Union's "single market."

>> That's not bad - probably more than most people would get here in the UK.

It isn't a huge chunk of money in India, just decent enough to get by barely for a month, considering that much of these folks might be having loans/EMIs to pay for.

If the news (that thousands of Indian IBMers from STG losing a job) is for real, they would have a hard time indeed; since there isn't much of IBM-STG kinda stuff happening around (except for shops like redhat/intel/VMWare which might be interested in few folks with sysprog background). People who had entire careers built on and around AIX (not programming, but maintenance/config/admin etc) probably will have a really tough time. Managers, well, guess they just had it coming.

In my experience the hardest part of freelancing is the actual selling. Getting leads isn't difficult, nor is drawing up contracts. It's getting from "Hello" to a signed contract thats difficult and these guys (AFAICS) don't help with that.

If they did I'd certainly be interested!

You can't? Now you see why make is insufficient.

Just to give a idea of how the salary structure works here.
Suppose you are earning 50,000 per month, only 11,000 will be your basic, some 5000 will be your house rent. and another 5000 for some expenses and additional perks can be up to some 30000. So, they will earn only 11,000 pm instead of the 50,000. which won't even be sufficient to pay rent.
Yes. They can be the unhealthy minority in an otherwise healthy diet.
OK, so on the one hand, Alfred the Great used less with counting nouns in 888 AD.

I don't think that is an over estimation of the impact of universities. First, are the majority of university educated programmers really learning from CS professors? I'd venture that more programming is taught outside of the CS programs these days. Second, as someone finishing a degree in information security and having worked in IT for 14 years and IT security for 4 years, universities are not doing a great job in teaching applicable security. It is a rapidly evolving space and course materials just aren't keeping up.
I never seen any statistics about bootnets hosted on rooted Debians. I also remember that in Metasploit framework the number of exploits targeting windows is incomparable larger than Linux related. The last time I made a firewall it was OpenBSD/spark64 based, and I think it is still in production. I never used Debian or Ubuntu as a server. There are Centos or RHEL for that, and I am capable to recompile and repackage any tool I needed.

Sorry, I cannot understand most of mentioned difficulties.

Very true. I have been doing some wacky custom DB stuff using Python and LevelDB (for very strange indexing requirements, and using the Basho variant of LevelDB) and it's superbly fast, predictable and easy to use, at least until you get to about 100m k/v pairs!

I believe the logic behind HemingwayApp is misguided:

Hemingway the writer actually wrote long sentences and they were actually important in his writing.

Passive is also important in good writing.

You can't use machine metrics to force "good writing" you can only enforce mediocrity and the following some random rules "because the rules have to be followed."

Likewise, I as a writer of the software would absolutely hate to run some program to tell me "this function has more than 10 lines" or whatever. If I wrote 500 lines function it doesn't mean it shouldn't be that long: there are examples where exactly such functions are still necessary and good. Such automatic evaluations are for managers who probably don't understand what they enforce. Pointy-haired bosses, if you will.

So I see HemingwayApp as the pointy-haired-editor app.

Some thoughts. In my experience, the lack of vulnerable code in a secure application is not the product of savvy developers who never make mistakes. A hardened web app usually gets that way because someone took the time to find and fix some of the exploitable vulnerabilities that could be found. Unfortunately, that usually doesn't happen until they get hacked pretty hard and come to see the business value of investing in the people, process, and tools required to create a robust security program which is augmented by quarterly $10,000 PenTests.

NSA/GCHQ 'infiltrations' had little to do with TLDs and IP block allocations.

Spy agencies did what they did with the help of over-broad court orders and legal justifications, non of the institutions you've listed had anything to do with it, either technically nor administratively (prove me wrong!).

These are just red-herring arguments by parties who want to take advantage of this moral panic and claim the they should control more of the Internet so as to protect it, it's opportunism and grandstanding, it has nothing to do with NSA.
It tastes completely different, much thicker, much rich. 2% tastes almost like water compared to whole milk.

The first time I had whole milk was at an after school program I went to in elementary school. They fed us a snack first thing when we got there. One day they gave us (whole) milk with our snack. Almost everyone (including me) took a sip and complained the milk was bad/tasted funky. The head person of the place came out and told us the milk was fine, we were all just not used to drinking whole milk.

I still don't like the taste of any cow's milk too much, I prefer unsweetened soy milk. Soy milk also lasts forever in the fridge which is a big plus for me.

+10 for having a block of 3x2 special kesys (Ins - Home - PgUp // Del - End - PgDown), and not a 2x3 block or a 3x3 block that includes “turn off”, “destroy pc” and “format disk”, or whatever they say.
White rice contains very little fructose. Bananas have more but not compared to, say, an orange.
I like products like this, though English is a notorious pain in the ass to try and write, so I thought I'd try it out.

In good news, this app does a good job of handling complex sequences. Consider the sentence:

The quick, brown fox ran out of the clump of trees, saw us, got scared, and promptly ran back into hiding.

When I typed that, I expected it to turn red, but it didn't. Great job!

However, there is a problem with identifying adverbs. Consider the sentence, "He is a burly man." In this case, though burly ends with -ly (like adverbs), it is an adjective.
You're obviously not a scientist. If you were, you'd know we're groping around blindly on all sorts of frontiers :).
I like this. I pasted in some text from a blog post I'm working on. All the edits it suggested made the post much better. I was worried that through the suggestions it might take the personality out of a persons writing, but because not all the suggestions are explicit (e..g change this word to this word) that might be avoided.
> I think you over-estimate the impact of universities.

I may, I have a bit of a vendetta for them.

> Negligence is the first.

Arguably, yes. Most of the comments when I posted mine indicated that negligence was the cause -- I was aiming to find the other ones. Still I somehow fail to understand how even pressure results in SQL injections -- nearly all languages I have worked with have a productivity reward/time saving for using parameterized SQL.
Stacking the Deck
MOV is only Turing-complete if you also add in a looping mechanism (which is to say, MOV alone is not Turing-complete). This uses unconditional jumps to "constant" addresses (as opposed to conditional branches or jumps to the address held in some register) and dynamically overwrites their target addresses, so that includes its own looping mechanism.

Former IBM'er here. The reason IBM gives severance and extended benefits is not to look good, it's to prevent their employees from filing unlawful termination suits.

Second, there is a rumor in IBM that once an employee is marked as an RA (layoff), they are placed on an HR blacklist preventing them from finding another job internally. Departments that hire an employee placed on the RA blacklist are believed to have to layoff another employee to take their place.
It would be nice if that held true. The problem isn't that RedHat developed a solution for their own problem, it's that their crowd are incredibly vocal about other people adopting it, even to the point of verbal attacks and attempted character assassinations against people who disagree with their stated aims. And of course, they will never admit publicly that systemd is developed to solve RedHat's problems, but will try to convince people that they have more noble aims, to solve the problems of the wider community. It's rhetoric. If they just dumped the software and let it's technical qualities speak for themselves, there wouldn't be so much drama.

But most people are lazy and will slip into writing poorly on a regular basis. Having an automated tool highlight potential problem spots can help you to write more consistently the way YOU want to write. If what is desired is passive voice then ignore the highlighted messaging.

note: most programming syntax style applications have the ability to selectively highlight special cases to flag sections of code to ignore particular errors.
> Exactly right, the problem is that you're not the US.

Exactly right about what? The original claim is that the French government is trying to muzzle criticism. You then bring up the case of a humorist condemned for his antisemitic views as a supporting example. This doesn't make any sense, unless you're going for some weird conspiracy theory - in which case, I'll believe any conspiracy theory as long as comes with convincing evidence, of which there doesn't seem to be any.

> The fundamental problem with "hate laws" in the context of speech is the definition of "hate", totalitarian governments tend to widen that definitions in order to suppress adversaries, this might be theoretical in your case but it's still an attack victor.

> The Internet must be built on the example of the "freest" framework available and that is the US's.

I'm on the fence about it. Besides, even in the US there are limits on freedom of speech.
>> The French Government had videos of Police officers mocking minorities removed from various news organizations.

Well, in almost every country, police force recruit among the least brilliant. Hatred of differences is what stupid people do. Violence is what stupid people do when given power to do so (intelligent people handed power preferring control over violence). So no big surprise here when it come to police.

The government point is more worrying, but I don't remember any incident of that kind under current government.

If you're relying on air-gaps or proxies for security, the same applies to web apps, so I don't think this advances your argument that native apps are more secure than web apps - Intranets can host web apps too.

Apologies for side-tracking you with this irrelevant argument about connection to the internet - I was thinking of mobile devices specifically, which are almost all exposed directly, but you're right, there is a whole class of apps/devices which are deliberately kept off the public internet.
Well, BMW/MB might be cheaper in Europe if you get cheaper models and trim levels that aren't available in the US.

How to Write the Perfect Stack Overflow Question (After Analyzing 10,000)
Personally, I don't worry much about PRISM. Abstractly, yes, these are very important issues. I don't want to downplay that. However, since at least 1925 the US has always been in more danger from private entities than from its government, and this is even more true of individuals within the US. Private health insurance is a lot scarier than our government. Given the ease with which private entities can and do destroy an individual's reputation, often over petty slights, PRISM is low on my concern list compared to that.

I know people who've been blacklisted by venture capitalists. I don't know anyone who's been personally affected by PRISM. I'm sure that some people have been; I just think it's rarer.

Top software executives are pissed about PRISM not because of the legality or the ethics of the program. They're embarrassed that, although they make gigantic salaries and are darlings at the Silicon Valley ball, they got pwned by nerds in Maryland making government salaries.

Don't get me wrong. There are principled civil libertarians who are raising these issues because they genuinely care about what is happening, and it's worth listening to them. But the indignation of the software execs and venture capitalists is just petty embarrassment and nothing more.
I was thinking of putting together an article / video on this as I usually spend an hour covering the same basics when I do a free session. I'll work on it today.
