as a former freelancer whose work gross last year came from doing Zapier integrations for vendors (some currently public catalogue services, others private), i can subscribe to sunsu's comment as entirely accurate, given that the problems i was asked to solve and was payed for, covered that nature of what was described and more.
"Slide 37" is definitely a seagull, though...

I'm pretty sure the seagull photo was in the article - it was the second picture, labeled "Slide 37". It did appear to be exactly as described.

Nah, even the Kremlin inhabitants called Victor Yanukovitch a political corpse having "negligible authority" (Medvedev) in their own country.
But the two things are directly connected. The reason one side has to endure relentless mockery in this discussion is because that side has been unable to produce a single clear piece of evidence for its assertions over nearly 70 years of making them. This seems not to dissuade them or cause them to consider their own position in the least, though, which is the kind of blind faith in an unproven argument that gets a person mocked.
Nice to hear that.

I would rather want to work in middle company than in big one.

That's still not what's relevant here. To make sense of the situation you have to put these pieces of the puzzle together:

* Putin is the 'charismatic leader' of a military powerhouse in financial decline.

* He has been actively radicalizing his citizens through a well-oiled fully state controlled propaganda machine.

* He believes he has Europe in his pocket through the oil supply and massive proceeds from corruption stashed away in European assets (and so far he's been right.)

* He seems increasingly divorced from reality and reports are circulating he seems to be fed propaganda as truth by his close advisors; something with seems the Occam's Razor-explanation for his decidedly strange public statement just hours ago.

* He has started to attempt to expand his empire to return to his Empire's old glory.

As far as Crimea is concerned: only a bit over 50% Russian-speaking and only 23% support(ed) joining Russia.

They have also been watching Russia state news which shows propaganda such as:

* Kiev protests as all paid by the West (definitely not true)

* hundreds of thousands fleeing to Russia (no activity at the border)

* spontaneous pro-Russian takeovers (masked men using Russia military vehicles)

* mass Ukrainian defections (disarmament at gunpoint)

* massive pro-Russia protests (brought in buses by the unemployment agency and disappearing completely after 60 minutes)
I will check that out. Thanks.
Codeigniter has been all but abandoned by EllisLab, the community is giving up on it and there are far better frameworks available now. For example Laravel, the growth that Laravel is experiencing right now is huge, it has overtaken Codeigniter as the most popular PHP framework on GitHub and has a growing and active community. Anyone even thinking about Codeigniter any more is doing themselves a disservice, Laravel is leaps and bounds ahead of Codeigniter. Laravel is on its way to being the Rails of PHP.

you will have to change the zapier parser template as well when the destination format changes.
The whole thing is rather pathetic with Russian officials waving around a piece of paper saying Yanukovych asked our military to come take charge and save us from Nazis. Meanwhile Yanukovych's former aide states that is unlikely. Sad.
You're right. I have been a spouse of an H1B holder and I could not do anything, not even volunteering or starting my own business. Before doing any of this, please get the assistance of an immigration lawyer. Doing something wrong under your current visa can jeopardize future visas you may receive one day.
You're correct, injecting extra time delay between transactions and settlement is one of the reasons why that architecture is more secure. That's a feature of it, not a bug. That is not the only difference: at almost all Bitcoin exchanges, your hot wallet is on your web tier and exposed to the adversary (so successful adversaries have authority to disburse 5% of your deposits), with the matching/settlement separation, a successful adversary still has no authority to disburse any percentage of your deposits. The hot/cold system also doesn't require e.g. intelligent accounting and reconciliation of those accounts, which is a major reason why the financial system actually works.

BTW: Bitcoin isn't a real-time system. The community widely believes it is, but people who actually understand what is happening would say "cough Yeah by 'real-time' we mean 'an hour later' cough."
collectd is great because takes very few resources (cpu/memory) to collect statistics very rapidly and you can log your results however you wish (back to graph collectors, straight to CSV for later processing, out to custom processes or network protocols for other services to consume).

If you want to be lazy and not set up a complete graphing infrastructure, just run collectd, have it automatically log all your statistics, and use it with the bundled https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Collectd-web package to view your history when needed.

Are you making the Nagios host pull (via NRPE) or are you asking the individual hosts to push (via NSCA)? I am trying to solve a similar problem. Given a dynamic population of hosts, each of which has a variable life span, I think that asking individual hosts to query their own state and then push that to a "monitoring receiver" is the most scalable, sustainable approach. At least, that's the theory I'll be testing this week.
>Have you ever been woken up by a nagios page that automatically cleared after five minutes because the incoming queue was delayed past the alert interval?

No, because I know how to configure escalations properly.

>Have you ever had your browser crash because you click on the wrong thing in the designed-in-1996-and-never-updated nagios interface and had your browser crash because it dumps 500MB of logs to your screen?

Actually, no. I've had my browser crash due to AJAX crap all the time though. Nagios' (and Icinga classic's) interface is clear, simple and logical; it's just not 2MB of worthless javascript that wastes half my CPU time, so I can see why unpopular with some user types.

>Have you ever had services wake you up with alert then clear then alert then clear again because some new intern configured a new monitor but didn't set up alerting correctly (because lol, they don't get paged, so who gives a flip if they copied and pasted the wrong template config, as is standard practice)?

No, because I know how to use time periods, and escalations again.

>Have you had to hire "nagios consultants" to figure out how to scale out your busted monitoring infrastructure because nagios was designed to run on a single core Pentium 90?

No, because it isn't, because I know the basics of Linux performance tuning, and because I've heard of Icinga and/or distributed Nagios/Icinga systems for very large scale.

Your post reads like "Have you ever crashed your car head on into a concrete wall at 70mph because it didn't brake for me?". No amount of handholding a program can do will protect users who have no clue how to use it.

I do not by any means consider myself an expert in Nagios either - if there was such a market for consultants as you claim, I'd likely be doing it and therefore be rich, but in actual fact, it's a skill just about any mid-level or better admin has.

I've inherited a Nagios config before that was a mess, that I rebuilt from scratch in a maintainable way, as well as extended. If Nagios (or MySQL pre-Oracle, for that matter) has a problem, it's amateurs attempting it, making a mess, and others judging the quality of the tool on their sloppy work. Not unique to Nagios, by any means. If there's a criticism you can level at Nagios for that, it's the lack of documentation and examples in the config files.

I'm also not denying the existence of alternatives - OpenNMS is ok, as is Zabbix, but both are far more limited in terms of available plugins and extensibility, and by nature harder to extend. Munin is good for out of the box graphing, but relatively poor for actual monitoring/alerting and hard to write new plugins for with limited availability of additional plugins. Each one is a standalone tool that's good for a purpose, and not some vaguely defined set of programs, partly nonexistent, that everyone has to hack together for themselves.

As a runner, I'm always looking out for portables and taking mental notes because you never know when you're going to need one.

Also from what I understand they only lost the Bitcoins in the hot wallet. Presumably everyone's Bitcoins in cold wallets (the grand majority) are safe and returned to their users.
Please, don't ever send money nor coins to these guys, they're scammers. M4v3R used to run http://bitmarket.eu and lost all the users' coins while running some sort of (according to his own words) "hedge fund" around December 2012. Around April 2013, with bitcoin around $50 he "kindly" offered to reimburse everyone over time, valuating each coin at 10€ arguing that it was their value when he lost them. I told them wanted my 10btc, not money, and they still owe me to this day.

No. You can migrate big production relational DBs with much less than hours of downtime; sometimes there's no downtime at all. Please, either qualify your statement, or stop speaking in such an absolute sense.

For every discussion about Bitcoin, I wonder if improving the ACH system and/or writing services on top of it would be a logical next step to make the existing banking system more user-friendly.

For example, Venmo[0] is simply an app layer over the ACH system. Sending someone money is as easy as sending a text on iOS, or an email on your computer. Payouts to your bank account can be same-day but usually take 1 business day.

Other than the pseudonymity (which is admittedly one of Bitcoin's stated value propositions), doesn't Venmo capture most of Bitcoin's advantages? What's preventing someone from using the Venmo API to, for example, write a reddit micro-tipping bot? Is it that an app having ACH access to people's bank accounts is scary?

Those aren't rhetorical questions -- I'm genuinely interested in knowing what advantages cryptocurrencies have for the layperson compared to an enhanced ACH system where security is already taken care of.

(I do use Venmo, but am not affiliated with the company otherwise.)

I haven't read the patent, but I assume Keurig patents a way to improve cups in some obscure way that probably doesn't matter but for which they can claim novelty. Their patent must explain how to implement this "improvement". Now, in order to be compatible with a Keurig machine, you must implement this "improvement", which is really the point of the "improvement" in the first place and why I keep putting it in quotes. But compatibility with a Keurig machine is not what's patented and there can be plenty of other undisclosed details that prevent someone from making Keurig compatible coffee cups.
I've always found Starbucks to be reliable solution. Usually clean and nearly ubiquitous.
As someone with a family member suffering from moderate Crohn's disease and frequently needs to utilize public restrooms this has obvious appeal. While I cringe at the thought of them paying every time a bathroom is needed out in public, the safety net would be great. It also would allow people who are very sick with Crohn's to venture out of their comfort area.

One thing to consider, in the US many states have instituted "Ally's Law" where businesses are legally required to allow people who need immediate restroom access, assuming it doesn't put the business or person in harm's way.

In my old job, for nagios they had a custom nagios tempting system built off C pre processor macros. You'd edit their custom config syntax, run a "build config" script, and everything would get converted into nagios-readable formats.

The thing is: nagios doesn't actually work for more than monitoring about 100 machines. Everything after that is a hack. It's made where you know your systems by hand, are hand configuring everything, and setting up all alerts with love and care and a kiss as you edit every file manually.

[This is your brain.] [This is your brain after losing sleep every night for a week because of nagios spurious alerting.]
This is a guide to US visa fraud.

Software developers are expressly excluded from the TN visa program. If you show up at the Canadian border as an American or the American border as a Canadian and announce you intend to work as a software developer, you will not be admitted. Of course many commit fraud and represent themselves as "Computer Systems Analysts" or "Management Consultants."

L1B visas are meant for those who possess special knowledge of "the petitioning organization’s product, service, research, equipment, techniques, management, or other interests and its application in international markets, or an advanced level of knowledge or expertise in the organization’s processes and procedures." If you announce you intend to work as a software developer you will not be admitted.

Is it really built-in to the language or just a library? Or is that boundary fuzzy with PHP?
I say you're wrong.

You're right that it really doesn't matter which encryption algorithm is used. It's the premise that encryption should be used in the first place that's wrong.

See, you don't store passwords -- not plaintext, not encrypted. Ever. (Well, unless your software is password manager, but a router is definitely not that.)

You also don't store password hashes. You don't even store salted password hashes. You'll get it wrong, and you won't even know it.

The only thing anybody should ever store is the output of a well known and well tested implementation of a well known and thoroughly studied key derivation function. (This implies that somebody else wrote it.) That's it. Anything else is broken.

So which key derivation function did they use? Oh, they didn't use one? That's what's atrocious. It doesn't matter if it's binary-not, triple-DES, AES, md5, or 10 rounds of salted sha256.

Use a key derivation function.

This is a longish, but awesome quote from my favorite Christopher Hitchens speech that's quite relevant to this:

Every time you violate – or propose the violate – the right to free speech of someone else, you in potentia you’re making a rod for your own back. Because (…), to who do you reward the right to decide which speech is harmful, or who is the harmful speaker? Or to determine in advance what are the harmful consequences going to be, that we know enough about in advance to prevent? To whom would you give this job? To whom you’re going to award the task of being the censor?

Isn’t the famous old story that the man who has to read all the pornography, in order to decide what is fit to be passed and what isn’t, is the man most likely to become debauched?

Is there anyone you find eloquent enough to decide for you what you could read? You would give the job to decide for you? To relieve you from the responsibility of hearing what you might have to hear?

Does anyone have a nominee? Hands up?

You mean there is no one who is good enough to decide what I can read? I had no idea.. But there’s a law – or some pebbling sub section of a law – that says there much be such a person. Well to hell with that law. It is inviting you to be liars and hypocrites and to deny what you evidently already know already.

About this censorial instinct: we basically know already what we need to know, and we’ve known it for a long time, it comes from an old story form again a great Englishman (..) Dr. Samuel Johnson, the author of the first great dictionary of English language. When it was complete he was waited upon by various delegations of people to congratulate him, (..) also by a delegation of respectable ladies of London (…). Dr Johnson, they said: “we are delighted to find that you’ve not included any indecent or obscene words in your dictionary.”

“Ladies, said dr Johnson, “I can congratulate you on being able to look them up.”

Anyone who can understand that joke gets the point about censorship, especially prior restraint as it is known in the US for it is banned by the first amendment of the Constitution. It may not be determined in advance what words are apt or inapt. No one has the knowledge that would be required to make that call and – more important – one has to suspect the motives of those who do so. In particular those who are determined to be offended, those who will go through a treasure house of English language (..) in search of filthy words, to satisfy themselves, and some instinct about which I dare not speculate… - Christopher Hitchens

Interesting, thanks. Pretty sure I know the two companies, my take would be one has a lot more riding on this and to take that with a grain of salt.
I'm aware of all that. I didn't say boo to 'rich man', because it is driven by Negroponte. I recognized the literary device with 'wax philosophical'. It's still someone trying to play the oneupmanship game on equality while at the same time perpetuating sexism. It's a shitty thing to do to merely 'sound cool' - selling out ideals for demagoguery.

English is a wonderfully flexible language and there are a dozen different ways to say the same thing here. Hand-waving away the hypocrisy in that statement as being a more powerful (barely, at that) literary device is just being lazy.

I'd also counter that the proper literary device is 'rich man/poor mAn', not 'rich man/poor mEn'. A small but meaningful difference.

Why Isn't Your Business Accepting Bitcoin?
Classifying the effort as 'little' for any EB based green card is nuts. Especially for an Indian citizen. In order to apply for EB-2 or EB-3 you need to first do a prevailing wage determination (about 2 weeks). Then your employer has to recruit for the position they want to offer you (30 days posted + 30 days quiet period). After this your employer gets to apply for a PERM (this is currently taking 8-9 months to be adjudicated by the DOL). If you're unlucky enough to be audited in your application you can tack another year on to this step.

After your PERM is approved, you get to file for I-140, which takes another 4-6 months. Then you get to wait until your priority date becomes current which depends on your category and country of origin. This could be anywhere from immediate to 10+ years.

Once your PD is current, you get to apply for I-485 which takes anywhere from 2-6 months and includes doctors exams, finger printing and possible interviews by USCIS. Of course while they're processing this there is no guarantee they wont retrogress your priority date and put you back into the waiting game.

Of course all of this starts again if you change employers (but you do get to keep your priority date if you had an approved I-140).
