it sounds like she did a lot more than design

But that is exactly the problem. She did a little bit of everything. She was a generalist and if there is a role for which there isn't much room in a massive corporation with thousands of people, it's generalists. When you get to that size, pretty much everyone is an area expert. For what position would she have been an area expert that google is trying to fill?
It's not really a reference - read it over a bit more carefully and I think you'll get it. Basically, Phil is meant to believe that Steve actually was serious about putting the slide in the presentation.

You gotta think of your project as you think of a woman you are in love with, otherwise, there's no sex. I think there is a lot in common between love, advancing in a project and even picking a movie to watch - they all involve a kind of 'sexual' openness towards the subject.

Heartbleed explanation
What makes it so awesome is really the way it handles concurrency and automagically synching a bunch of different "shreds" at the same time. Its deeper than say the web audio api. Where it is lacking is in mobile support. The ancient Csound has an android version that actually enables you to develop the live code on your android device. While with Smule you had a cool adaptation for ios, Csound still seems to be more forward thinking in that it already supports android and chromeos.
I can write a compiler in 5 minutes that handles both #1 and #2. It returns no on every program. Therefore it always terminates and always returns "no" on every incorrectly typed program.
The Drone That Will Change Graffiti
I understand needing a unique identifier to distinguish between heartbeats ... but why conflate the heartbeat with Path MTU, which is an orthogonal process.

Is it really that much less efficient to do Path MTU with a different message/system/module? Why absorb this function into the OpenSSL pacakge?

I feel I am still missing something about the way this system works. Perhaps I just need to educate myself more on security and networking.
Most of the waste from traditional reactors is actually unspent fuel. Solid fuel rods only allow for about 1-2% energy conversion before the amount of transuranics and other contaminants built up and prevent safe operation.

The idea of the liquid fueled reactors is that you can easily change the fuel composition, ideally constantly reprocessing the fuel of contaminates, while letting the unburned fuel stay in place. This would drastically reduce the amount of waste generated (by orders of magnitude), and the 'unburnable' waste left over actually has some uses of its own (molybdenum 99 and bismuth 213).
I've been using FBReader since PalmOS. I don't use a cbz reader for anything, so I don't know if there is a ODPS client that can read .cbz files (but ODPS is really straightforward, so if there is an OSS cbz reader it would be easy to add).
Ah this brings back memories. My sister, who is still very religious, went into full blown panic mode when she discovered some D&D materials on my desk. This also brings back memories of tape backmasking to find "hidden" satanic messages in rock/metal songs
Who’s affected, who’s not? How to Fight OpenSSL’s Heartbleed
It looks like some people like Steve are charismatic enough to get the complete devotion of very talented people. It's a great personality trait to have and pretty much guarantees success. We all know geniuses in our everyday life like Wozniak, Bob, cook. But how many of us can get these guys be terrified of us, make them change their lives for our visin and make them give us their complete attention... That's the beauty of Steve. Despite flaws in his character, people seem to be feel previliged working for him.
This language was written by a professor of mine Ge Wang, also the founder of Smule.

He likes to refer to it as "strongly timed", and I think it is a really accurate description. While the language does have limitations, it can also be beautifully expressive for certain things.

Back in 1999 or 2000, shortly after Steve had rejiggered the cafeteria staff, I was walking back to my office in another building with an "afternoon doughnut" - that is, one that hadn't sold in the morning at the coffee place in the main lobby, and probably sold at a discount.

I passed Steve in the hall and he glared at me as I walked with my doughnut. Steve was in great health in those days while I was pasty and obese. (Still am, sad to say.).

But I was happy with my doughnut. Steve glared at me but didn't say anything. I slunk away.

The next day, there were no more doughnuts at any of the cafés on the main campus. I don't think it's a coincidence.
According to Wozniak, Jobs told him that Atari gave them only $700 (instead of the offered $5,000), and that Wozniak's share was thus $350.[65] Wozniak did not learn about the actual bonus until ten years later, but said that if Jobs had told him about it and had said he needed the money, Wozniak would have given it to him.[66]

End of story. Before continuing celebrating Jobs, ask yourself a question, do you want to promote that kind of behavior in the Valley?

I was a contractor for years and after some time at it I detested it.
You get the contractor mentality where you only think of hours worked, and even on days where you are as sick as a dog, you haul yourself to work because... well, because it's 8 hours pay. Holidays become less and less because not only is it the cost of the holiday itself but it's the hours of pay you are missing out on. Double whammy. Plus there is no leverage... the only way to make more is to work more. And the businesses have no respect for contractors; they are the first to go.
If you can treat the consultancy role as an interim solution between major gigs, then it's Ok. I think I used jobsearch.com.au and contracted via agencies.

My advise: switch focus to developing a product that you can sell.
Moral objections don't just come from biblical incompatibility. Back in high-school (not-US), I once had an uncomfortable questioning from our principal because a kid's parent complained after seeing us playing with unfamiliar dice. They equated the probability-driven game mechanics to gambling, or at least believed that it led to a slippery slope.

Then again I later majored in statistics, so maybe they had a point ^_^

I agree with you on principle, however, the story does not end here. Woz himself said the following:

"What Steve does on the good side — like the music scenario [in which] we didn't bring just a music device called the iPod, we brought a whole music system: a store that sells it, a computer that manages and organizes it. And an iPod is just a satellite to your computer. Plug it in and it works. You don't have to do anything. You've got to admire Steve for that kind of thinking. Nobody's perfect. [Everybody is] going to have cases where they did something bad to somebody, said something nasty to them and maybe regret it later."

Specifically:

"[Everybody is] going to have cases where they did something bad to somebody, said something nasty to them and maybe regret it later."

I think that's a more enlightened point of view.

Does The Tech Industry's Obsessive Party Fetish Pay Off?
I'd agree with you if my primary desire were to improve my ability as a programmer. Unfortunately, at least at this time, it's not. My major concern is getting meaningful work done.

FWIW, code I don't have to think about tends to not be the meaningful part of a project.
I don't know if you're trolling or genuinely don't know how this works. If you don't, please read up on the constitution of whatever country you live in.

The respect for those constitutions has eroded significantly since the beginning of the century, but they still exist and we must still insist on them. Don't give up the achievements of the past that easily.
While I do think being installable on site helps, I don't think that is the primary advantage Atlassian has over other software companies.

In my opinion it has everything to do with the market. They build products for a market which likes good tools, has no problem putting them into their workflow, and telling all their peers about how awesome their tools are.

Contrast that to Zendesk which is largely a customer service tool. In a large company, customer service is largely run business majors who are more concerned with risk of process changes, than they are with (potential) cost savings from better software.

It may not be a language feature, but the things in the article seem rather academic by comparison.
Heartbleed is not important 
Heartbleed is a branded security vulnerability.

This is bad. It focuses our industry on the wrong thing, in the worst way.

Think of vulnerability branding as the amber alert of security communication.

An isolated simple bug which admittedly has consequences. But let's be real here, open ssl is just one library. Only one version and a few builds were affected.

So like amber alerts we have a problem, amber alerts broadcast in highly visible way a child who was abducted TODAY.

The child that was abducted 3 weeks ago is forgotten about.

We simply cannot manage technology in Amber alert fashion.

What does heartbleed really tell is about open source and ourselves?

That we have critical open source security software with no meaningful unit tests. Can you get away with that in your job?

Because they are volunteers are they exempt?

I'm not going to count all the open cve's in the world. But I'm sure it numbers in the thousands.

Just as I'm sure all the open cve's only represent 10 percent of the total attack surface of security libraries.

So branding individual cve"s and saying this one "goes to eleven" is a disservice to the public, the dev community, we have much more work to do and it's our fault for shipping unauditable garbage because we are too lazy to care.

Who the fuck cares?

Do your own startup, bootstrap it, answer to no one, feel the freedom to innovate as you see fit, eliminate the politics, remain true to your own calling. Fuck the VCs... fuck'm in the ass.
Of course, we create and update the state by inspecting the incoming stream of system calls.
We traverse proc only once, when you start a capture, and the reason to do that is collecting info for the PIDs/FDs that existed before we start the system call collection. That way, you can for example create a filter on the IP address of a socket even if that socket was created before sysdig started.
I agree with you absolutely. If you are yourself encountering lies and nastiness from your partners, an enlightened way would be trying to understand them. And forgive.

But my point was different. We just can't afford to celebrate lies. It is very very very harmful.
Yes and no. The major mistake is not a missing "S". The major mistake is not performing a test which would show that the change was made (or in this case that it wasn't made).
Ask HN: Does Heartbleed affect CAs?

I read the article is does not mention speed, performance once, in which it had nothing to do with what I stated. I was simply stating that higher level languages will cause the library to be slower also less easy to be used by other high level languages like python.
I am by no means even competent at network security; I am curious why articles like http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230387360... seem to imply companies will have to physically replace network gear?

I would think software updates would allow the code to be updated.

Even if somehow they were worried the attacker has gained access and done things that might be a security problem can't you essentially reset the software and start from scratch if you couldn't trust you could find changes that were made, accounts added…? Maybe that shows how naive I am about network hardware?
Thorium molten salt reactors make waste reprocessing vastly easier and they produce significantly less "potent" waste products than Uranium solid fueled reactors do.

-- Can do an American football field end zone to end zone in under 20 seconds
-- Travels at about twice the speed of an average marathon runner over the same distance

this guys music sucks and is worth about 30 bucks in royalties in a quarter. I see nothing wrong with this. The musicians can make millions or consumers can listen to everything for 10 bucks a month. I prefer the later. music is the worst business ever.

Heartbleed affects servers terminating TLS connections using certain versions of OpenSSL.

If you think Steve is the only person in the Valley to have lied to a business partner...I have a bridge that might interest you.

As for the specific event in question (the Atari money), do we know what Steve did with the extra money? Seems to me, maybe he really did need it (for rent/food/etc.) and was too ashamed to ask Woz for the extra. Maybe he figured he would re-invest it, and that it was easier to do behind Woz's back than to try and explain his plans.

Steve was no saint, but in my experience he was generally a nice guy. He also thought he knew better than everyone else, and so it would not be unusual for him to leave out explanations, make snap judgements, and be rather brusque in general (when dealing with business decisions). Why should he have to explain himself when he was obviously right?

I'm sure it didn't help that the world so often (especially toward the end) only reinforced the notion that he knew better than everyone else...
It feels very odd reading about this "moral panic" of my childhood, as nobody where I grew up was in any way panicked at all. Did I somehow miss out on it? I played lots of D&D with my elder brother and his friends, and we went to a fairly large church in England, but nobody showed the slightest disapproval. One of my brother's friends' clothing was commented on once (he always wore camo pants and army boots), but the game was never frowned upon.
I am absolutely bored of Steve Jobs stories in general, and I'm quite surprised at myself that I bothered to read this one.

This one in particular, though, was a human enough perspective that it would have been interesting to read if every single mention of the particular terrifying-and-respected-CEO were redacted. So I'm glad I read it.

Companies don't trust sales reps for the most part. They use them, but they don't trust them. Hence the trade secrets clauses in their employment agreements. Companies like to hire experienced sales reps because of their contact list? Sure, because if that employee's former employer hits them with a lawsuit, they can fire the employee and settle out of court. It's worth the potential risk. At the same time, there aren't many companies that are going to stand behind a brand new employee when they know he's probably holding onto data that is considered a trade secret.

What happens when your previous employer fired you for using data you stole from a previous client?

Good luck taking years to build back your reputation.
To take it one step further, it might be a good idea to specify the whole thing in Coq, prove correctness and derive the C code from there. Coq is a theorem prover based on the Martin-Löf type theory like the ATS mentioned in the article. Xavier Leroy (the man behind OCaml) managed to write a whole verified C compiler in Coq[1] so while it's slower than writing C directly it should still be feasible for projects of such critical importance.

On a related note, mathematicians are also finding it increasingly difficult to trust unverified proofs. Papers by Vladimir Voevodsky, a Fields medalist and one of the most prominent in the field, were also discovered to contain errors more than ten years after publication, having been cited hundreds of times and nobody noticing the errors in the proofs. This was one of the principal motivations for him to initiate the project for homotopy type theory, which also has roots in Martin-Löf type theory and is also being developed formally in Coq.

I never played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid (born in the early 80s, so a bit too young) but I played a lot of Games Workshop games (Warhammer etc) and I played D&D-based video games (Baldur's Gate etc) heavily.

I remember poring over rulebooks and probability tables for hours, and writing computer simulations (in Visual Basic or Excel) to try and find some edge in the game. I think my parents were pretty worried about me.

I now write stock market simulations and come up with trading strategies for a living, using essentially the same methods that I used in the mid 1990s to win at roleplaying games, so I guess it all worked out okay?
