$12k, 4 months! Wow. Sucks to be in college nowadays.

This guy (along with being boyfriend-of-the-year apparently) has the right idea.

Ignore these people. Debt === slavery! You are doing the right thing.

People get really angered at begging lately it seems..

p.s.. I'd say to give back to the "community", just make an app like watsi or something, and not spend your life's work finding more efficient ways to find people to f--k within a 10 mile radius..
The guy is a real comedian. He's taking aim at his feet with this.
I remember you. You are the one who was defending Eich and then HFT and now you are defending Goldman Sachs.

You state in your profile that you are a student of philosophy. As a person who studies philosophy too, I am really curious, how would you describe your philosophical views?
Yeah, if Argentina were a Russian state, it would be exactly like being acquitted in Russia and then charged in Argentina.

As others have said this is really a source control problem but still there's a workaround. Just copy the production dll and use .Net Reflector (or similar) to decompile it back in to C#. Make your edits, recompile and upload.
You cannot change a copyright notice of a GPL source, GPL allows you to distribute, it even encouridge you, but nothing in the law allows you to change copyright claims.
GPL follows copyright laws to the letter, that is it's strength.
Forging copyright notices is a form of deceit and if I am right copyright laws will say that it's theft.
I've tried reading Rudin a couple times, but it's a bit of a slog. There are easier analysis texts. Abbott's Understanding Analysis is good, though a bit basic. I'm currently reading Terence Tao's Analysis I, which is very good if you're in the right frame of mind for it. The first 150 pages are spent building the real numbers from scratch, starting with set theory and the Peano axioms. You successively construct the naturals, the integers, the rationals, and then the reals (as equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences of rationals). It's fun to see how the sausage is made, but I can also admit that when I was just starting out in math I might have found this book unbearably tedious.
It seems like a very bad idea to remove a copyright notice from a file. Suppose the next developer to see the file doesn't know its origin, then incorporates it into a product that is distributed.
On current hardware, RPC is expensive no matter how you optimize it because it goes through the kernel. It could be even cheaper than system calls with better context-switching primitives (tagged TLB or single address space, context switching directly from user-space, etc.)

I have played a lot with L4, but the flexibility problems I'm talking about are intrinsic to the traditional microkernel organization. Any user or application can't replace a privileged system server- they can replace a shared library.
Bottom-line: "history -c" should never be interpreted as "covering your tracks". No one should be treating .history as a log file!

* First and most importantly, if you want a true log of history this can and should be achieved using a different mechanism (not effected by history -c).

* There exist bad CLI's which require entering the password on the command line. See the conversation below -- it took six posts on HN before the correct solution (make sure certain env vars are set to the right values) came out. So, hardly common knowledge.

- In fact, you space trick doesn't always work. Can I fire you for negligence if someone finds your .history since everyone should obviously know everything about bash history?

* If you run "man history", the very first thing you see is the -c option. Therefore, if you want to clear a password from your history file, this is mostly likely how you'll do it. You're effectively attributing criminal intent to anyone who's not sufficiently unix savvy.

* If you're treating .history is a log file, then you're being pretty damn close to criminally negligent with your logging practices (equivalent of providing an editor for apache's access.log on your homepage).

* Bash history files are not backed up, except perhaps accidentally with the rest of ~.

* History files rotate out after X commands. There is no way of guaranteeing that temporally-defined backup policies snapshot ~ before X commands are run.

Bash history is a "log file" in the same sense as the stack used for Word's "undo" mechanism is a "log file".

What about open source licencing? If Goldman Sachs takes GPL software, modifies it and uses it internally without distribution, then they are perfectly compliant with the licence.

It doesn't grant the programmer any ownership of the code, nor any rights to take a copy of what he wrote with him.

Is it just me, or is their analytics JS file down?
No, a lot of games are C# (Unity) or Lua (Corona).

The thing they are understandably hissy about is downloading new scripts off the net and executing those, and they want to be sure that when they test something it's 100% representative of what the consumer experiences. (This gets really damn fuzzy when people want to do A-B testing in iOS apps). Not sure of the state of the fine print these days, but it's like many of these things where if you understand why they do it (not necessarily agree with it) it's not too hard to work within that framework. As a consequence if you even look like you might be executing arbitrary code they might reject you.
Page 15 doesn’t make inline divs, it makes inline-block divs. That makes all the difference. I think since the inside of the div is displayed like a block, a div is more appropriate than a span. It would be weird to have a span with block insides, even if it’s inline in its context.
Rails devs looking for freelance work?
Hey guys,

Hope all is well! I'm looking for really talented rails developers to help me out with some projects.

I have a couple projects on the table and I simply cannot do them entirely by myself so I could use some extra help!

That said, If you are a talented rails developer and you're looking for freelance work feel free to send me an email at pblogsltd@gmail.com and let's chat!

Cheers!
I'm sure plenty of people, like me, signed up to see what the fuss was about, found it wasn't to my taste / usefulness and now hardly ever visit. However occasionally I end up logging when someone posts a link or someone on TV solicits some engagement - Eurosport, for instance, invite comment during live broadcast - I've had a couple of questions read out on air.

So, even though I have done those things I wouldn't describe myself as a Twitter "user".
I think as a boyfriend that is really sweet.
Forget what she should or shouldn't be studying or where, you are being incredibly supportive.
Which kind of proxies? What are they using them actually?
> Do you have any evidence of a data breach?

> No. And unfortunately, this isn't "No, we have evidence that there was no breach of data;" rather, "we have no evidence at all." We doubt many people do - and this leaves data holders in the uncomfortable position of not knowing what, if any, data breaches might have happened

I like their honesty - many organizations simply stated "our evidence suggests there was no breach"
I really hate when people ask for help or advice achieving a certain goal and what they get in response is a bunch of yap about how they shouldn't want to do that in the first place.

But I dislike stuff like "The Flatiron School" even more so. I want to help you and Catherine. I remember too well driving junk-yard cars for days straight only to spend a few hours with my long-distance[1] because plane tickets were impossibly out of reach. The others are right though: I'd sooner donate to send you guys on a cruise than essentially give money to the "Flatiron" folks.

I know that seems entirely unhelpful. Sorry.

[1] I did marry her in the end and that sweet suffering has become part of our collective mythology, now imparted to our own wide-eyed children. Succeed or fail, you're doing the awesome part right now.
Terrible luck? At 30 with an IQ of 150, my guess you're making at or near 100k a year.

Man, what rotten luck.
Thank you for clarification. I don't agree but this is a philosophical discussion that depends on semantics too much. And I don't want to engage in that.
The issue with deionized water isn't what your GI system will or will not absorb. The issue is that the water may absorb minerals and nutrients from you.

I have to imagine that this is easily combated if it proves to be a significant factor. Worse case scenario, now that you have water that doesn't make you violently ill, you have more energy to farm/eat nutrient rich foods?

The off road driving module is optional. From the article "Additionally, the modular automobile portion of the vehicle can be removed for additional payload capacity or replaced with a boat hull or an amphibious hull for water operations."
I believe that individuals are allowed to hold private opinions (like Eich), and we as a society have decided as much.

As for HFT and Goldman Sachs, people are simply bashing based on jealousy of more successful individuals in a different sector, without actually investigating the topic. Like here, where apparently many don't actually read the GPL.

As for philosophy, that's a topic in itself, but let's just put it this way - I had one foot inside the door of a monastery (figuratively), instead chose a different path. Regardless, in worldly matters I prefer a rational approach to knee jerk sentimentality and sensationalism..
I used the random payload size between 0 and 10,000. But sounds like you found a nice way to get the keys :) I looked at the openssl source code and I don't think it is possible in nginx for it to leak the intermediate results into memory. I suspect we are leaking one of the only two primes stored in memory. Another HN poster was able to break apache MPM and I strongly suspect they were leaking intermediate values: https://twitter.com/makomk/status/454761049955127296

i also thought an earlier discoverer might have been trolling us :)

Alternately, the article is incorrect/oversimplifying. It's pretty easy to see that it is at least oversimplifying with a simple thought experiment: Suppose we were to place a Warka Tower in an airtight with a humidity of 0% (no water in the air) and with an air temperature of 120°F. Then suppose we were to drop the chamber temperature to 40°F. By all accounts, this is a huge change in temperature for a human-habitable region to undergo (an 80°F change), so the tower should produce a LOT of water. However, because the air in the chamber has so little water actually in it, very little water will actually be produced. Ultimately, what makes the tower work well is a large temperature change and a high humidity.

Critical sentiments can be useful when they are of the form: “X didn't work, we moved to Y because blah blah and we did it by yada yada”.

Whenever something needs fixing in TLS we always hear about the OpenSSL patch first, so it seems like the project is healthy. I think this (and some of the context around the Debian incident) points out that we should be looking at replacements focused on implementation safety (bluishcoder's ATS-based demonstration looks like the right direction), good defaults, and a simpler API (one that also doesn't give so much leeway to shoot oneself in the foot through configurability).

If your are going to downvote a lawyer quoting the law, please provide a refutation.

Also, doenvoters, if you believe that Federal govt tramples your rights and power should be returned to local authorities, consider the consistency of your internal logic.
Agree with both you and enterx.

For me the interpretation is to not just write code everyday, but write QUALITY code everyday. Quality code that improves what you're working on, challenges you to learn new things, and contributes to the development of this skill.

Otherwise I could write hello world for 30 minutes a day.

jeez, those banks pay a pretty penny.

If you've already covered Vector Spaces, Groups, and Rings in your studies, I would suggest checking out Bill Lawvere's "Conceptual Mathematics: A First Introduction to Categories". i.e. An introduction to category theory through the category of sets. His "Sets for Mathematics" is also good but it's a more concise presentation of the topic but a less than gentle introduction than the former book.

You attempted to reach qrohlf.com, but instead you
actually reached a server identifying itself as

on the server or by something more serious. An attacker

fake (and potentially harmful) version of qrohlf.com.
I don't think putting up a .com and making it to the front page of Hacker News will make this much of a surprise.

Open source projects need money (hello OpenSSL) and children are dying. Paying for someone's Objective-C/Xcode tuition isn't my number-one priority at this time. Perhaps someone else will swallow the bait.

Most of the price control/cartel parts of the New Deal were partly or entirely dismantled before the war. Of course, a new set of price controls were set up during wartime, but those were not New Deal programs.

What survived from the New Deal were the Keynesian stimulus programs, which were generally very successful, lasted through the war and up through the '70s, and some to this day.

I don't see how it's invalid to argue that they're just two sides of the same coin. If no-talent hacks think they're better than they are, how could the opposite not be true for the same underlying reasons?

Civilisation Beyond Earth leaked
Well, I don't know how it goes over there, but here in Algeria, Engineers go through two common years (after which they chose a specialty in the third year, and then, in the fourth and fifth year, a specialty of specialty).

All Engineers go through both years, except Computer Science who don't do the common second year and they directly go to Computer Science.

In these two years, everyone goes through this (maybe it'll give you some ideas on what you want to add):

I'll only list the "Maths" we take first and second year:

First year:
- Algebra: (a long course, bottom up. From Boole's algebra, to groups, sigma-algebra, yadda yadda), linear algebra(vector spaces, etc)..

- Probabilities and Statistics.

- Analysis: (Taylor series (Lagrange, Laplace, Young, Cauchy, Maclaurin), integrals, differentiations, different series, convergence/divergence kung fu), Riemann overall, proofs, etc.. Functions, multivariable, real and complex, etc.

Second year:

- Analysis I - Numerical Analysis (Equation systems, Gauss-Seidel, different algorithms(also calculating their speeds), Newton-Raphson, extrapolation, interpolation, etc).

- Analysis II - Integrals(up to 3rd - curves, areas/surfaces(Green) and volumes (Ostrogradsky)), Differential equations (Wronskian, etc).

This is the minimum (to be able to function in other modules, and some other modules are needed before you can function in these, so there's sort of bootstrapping of sort).

And then it depends what you take as specialty (if it's something involving Signal Processing, for instance, or Control Systems, you also need to do stuff).

Hope that helps and you can find some things.

PS: None of these are done with computers, so computing stuff with Newton algorithm and operations on big matrices are all done by hand. It takes a lot of time.

PPS: We don't have multiple answer questions. There's a question, and you answer it (and some answers take multiple pages).

Also, most tests are designed in a way that even if you have the answer sheet right next to you, it still takes you more time to copy the answers than the time of the exam itself. i.e: Even if you don't think and only "write", the time-frame is too tight.

We did, internally. We got key extraction in an hour, about the same as Cloudflare---so we save $10k and rotate exposed keys. Since we renew most certs on an annual basis, all our easy-to-rotate certs were flipped months ago. The outliers are weird custom stuff, or two-year EV certs.

You ever try rotating 400 EV certs in a weekend? Neither have most Certificate Authorities. They say security is people, processes, technology. Our tech worked well---but not so well I can't wish it was better. Our people did awesome, stalwart work. But the PKI industry processes are due for some serious reconsideration.

I can't tell you how badly I want TACK or DANE or CT live and working right now.
Ask HN: Why doesn't anyone care who set up drop-dropbox.com and why?
The site is cleverly constructed in the sense of invoking sentiment to support a campaign through fearful, shocking and distasteful pictures, supporting links, and quotes. The inclusion of the war pictures, of Dr. Rice in a menacing manner; this website reads more like one of those slander campaigns you'd see on Fox than a disgruntled Dropbox user. Perhaps the competitor? A disgruntled employee? If that is the case, and although we support the campaign, we should still question the motives of the creator of this website. It's a very opportune time to drive users away from Dropbox by jumping on the Dr. Rice wagon.
What would that solve? We already know that it's possible to compromise the private key using this bug. The problem is that no one knows whether attackers have actually done so, since very few organizations will log all the data going in and out of their servers.

$ is a function object.

$.answer is a property of that object.

jQuery and other libraries often use $ as their main object, so it's probably best to avoid using it unless you need to or it's wrapped in another function.

Not everything is the prisoner's dilemma. There's no reason -- at least not in your post -- that self-motivated individualism can't be efficient; such ideas were advocated by e.g. Hayek and Friedman (to say nothing of real macroeconomics). If my time is better spent somewhere else because they offer me more money, maybe that's because the work I do there will produce more value for the world overall.

In other words your argument is circular: you assume that individualism is bad, and you conclude that capitalism (which starts and ends with individualism) is bad.

Furthermore have workers and corporations always competed cf. unionization in the 1920s and so forth; in general this has been considered an overall benefit (working fewer hours --> quality of life and education).
