Also coinbase URLs are open to the public whereas ribbon.co is in private beta.
Definitely an interesting observation!

A few points that come to mind:

* actors move on to new roles frequently, while a musician's persona often sticks with them for most of their career

* films and novels have an explicit designation of "autobiographical" when the artist is telling their own story

* in music the line isn't always so clear, but I think most people expect that to some extent the songwriter is telling a personal story

* not all musicians even write their own music / lyrics but people still associate the message of the story with the performer

You raised a really interesting aspect of the discussion, thanks for your thought provoking comment!
OR, only that small fraction is adequately diagnosed. This is a relatively new field, after all, and people fear what they don't understand. Given the stigma associated with it today many people would rather deny it or self-medicate than seek treatment unfortunately.
The compiler is 16-bit [1]. It won't run on 64-bit Windows.

So if you have a Windows-based build server, it's probably running Windows Server 2008 or later. Which is 64-bit only.

You can run it on a recent 32-bit version of Windows, but client editions only.

And in the next year or two I imagine Windows 9 or 10 going exclusively x64/ARM.

I asked a computer scientist colleague what an OS is, and her answer was: Something that lets you write programs independently of the operating environment. For a time sharing or multi-tasking system, that environment could include other programs and users on the same computer. For a mainstream desktop computer, the environment includes the system updating itself, managing network traffic, etc.

Nothing unique about VCS. A subtle bug in a word processor has the potential to destroy someone's manuscript. A subtle bug in a payment processing system has the potential to expose a million credit card numbers. This is the nature of software.
I agree that it appears the developers are calling it quits. If you look at the diff itself, they have replaced large chunks of logic with an abort routine, passing the message "Insecure App".

This does not explicitly suggest vulnerabilities exist in older versions, but rather the latest version with these changes is very explicitly insecure and should not be used. This does leave room for issues to have been discovered in old versions - maybe rather than fix, they are throwing in the towel.
the github client is actually extremely artist friendly.
Portal, paper mario, braid, flight sims, sim city, tropico, civilization(? you do kill people in that), kerbal space program, etc.

I'm not by any means going to deny the flood of games that are based on violence. Most of the mentioned games were off the top of my head, but when I went looking for more, I was definitely a little surprised by just how tough it was to find well known contenders.

I can see how a casual brush with games might not bring a lot of the good ones to the front, though. I like games that really change how I think about a problem (portal, braid, paper mario), let me experience things I can't pragmatically experience right now (flight sims), or complex strategic games with some satire (civ/tropico).

I'm interested in games because I think they can be a really valid art form and a powerful way to convey concepts and ideas.

I'm incredibly excited for how far the oculus rift and new motion tracking techs will let me take that.

I remember the first time I played Assassins Creed. I mean, the game is about murder. It's in the title. My brother got frustrated at me after an hour of watching and yelled "STOP CLIMBING SHIT AND EXPLORING. KILL SOMEONE." I think he left after I spent another fifteen minutes exploring the ancient middle east.

I have to say my Beats completely suck. I've had to get them replaced twice and I still get these annoying buzzing sounds. Forum-reading has led me to believe that this is a really common problem.
I'm disappointed that Apple would buy such a crappy product, and pay so much for it.
There's a lot of comments in here about the business case. Beats is undeniably moving a lot of product. Speaking purely for my personal feelings though this purchase makes me value Apple less.

While people say Apple is merely overpriced hardware bought because marketing makes it cool, I think this is wrong, it's also really good hardware. But Beats is that criticism of Apple come true -- overpriced crap made popular with marketing. Ironically I don't even mind the sound profile of Beats -- high fidelity cans are too flat for me personally. But even for someone like me I can get that same sonic effect for a fraction of the price with other brands.

> EncFS is probably safe as long as the adversary only gets one copy of the ciphertext and nothing more. EncFS is not safe if the adversary has the opportunity to see two or more snapshots of the ciphertext at different times. EncFS attempts to protect files from malicious modification, but there are serious problems with this feature.

Which, seeing as my current major use case is to lock down Dropbox, kind of renders it useless for me.
Diversity programs are important because they uncover and fight discrimination, both explicit and more subtle.

A specific example: I once worked in a job where the team leader and hiring manager was looking at resumes, found one was female and put it aside saying "she'll just get pregnant and leave". That was an extremely explicit form of discrimination that a formal diversity program may have helped combat (eg: he may have said "oh she'll just get pregnant and leave but I have to interview her anyway to get diversity points").

Interestingly, his team was extremely uniform ethnically too, and after he was asked to leave it became much more diverse.

Edit: Oh, and to address your points about the success of Jews in the fashion industries and Blacks in the NFL: overrepresentation is not a problem except in the case of whites because of history. If it becomes a problem the other way, then yes, it should be dealt with then. It is very far from that point at the moment, though.

I disagree.

Somebody that doesn't want to spend $200 on a product with a complete-satisfaction guarantee probably won't be a very good long-term customer. The RubyMotion guys are filtering out the low-end of the market, which from a business perspective, is a good move.
> The takeaway here shouldn't be "Google needs to hire more women" it should be "we need to get more women involved in the tech industry."

Exactly. Extolling tech companies to hire more women without creating a larger pool of qualified female applicants is an exercise in futility. You can't change the outputs without changing the inputs; one company hiring more women without changing the overall supply would only result in even worse ratios at other companies.

And the numbers are so terrible that if you had one company that managed to hire 50% women, that would mean you would have to have two other companies of equal size with only 2% women. As bad as each company having only 18% sounds, having 2/3rds of companies with only 2% doesn't seem better.
>> They haven't updated it for years.

As I said even if not recently they still invested many years into that project.

Of course it is juvenile to senselessly ruin the code and suddenly advertising a very different commercial product, especially without proper scientific reason.

Not to mention that precisely because they haven't done much work lately I don't see any reason why the developers would disfigure their project like that.
Good call. Honestly I haven't really given RubyMotion and that pull request a thought in a long while.
Yeah, those are all true. It's also not an open and shut case for films either - if a director consistently made films with antisemitic attitudes, questions would probably be asked about that director. Similarly, people have in the past questioned Quentin Tarantino's very frequent use of the word 'nigger' - though I personally think it's a stylistic choice than a racist one.

At the same time, no one is suggesting Matthew Weiner is a mysoginist because of his portrayal of men and women in Mad Men.

Been running software load balancers for over a decade. I started with LVS (Linux Virtual Server) now called ivps. Now we run HAProxy and we're looking Apache Traffic Server.

Some of the load balancers have even run BGP as called out in the OP. Nothing really fancy but enough to be interesting.

One of the coolest things I built was a Global Server Load Balancer to balance Load Balancers. We needed it initially to move data centers. It was built on top of PowerDNS and ketama hash.
In case somebody brings it up, the Techempower benchmark results for Haskell (GHC) are broken, they use an ancient (7.4) version of GHC. The paper linked uses the current (7.8.2) version.

There's a link at the bottom for Mac and Linux. For Mac they recommend the built-in encryption as well.

I'm having trouble taking any of that page seriously however -- to be recommending closed-source solutions like Bitlocker as 'more secure'.
Kale by itself exceeds that list of nutrients for almost every nutrient that I could find data for. For many nutrients it blows it out of the water. It also likely includes many unknown beneficial phytonutrients that are not included in Soylent.

Also, from what I understand many of the benefits of these nutrients are diminished or not observed when they are injested from industrial refined supplements like those used in Soylent as when they are eaten in whole plant foods like Kale.

The five nutrients where Kale had less were Sodium, Selenium, Pantothenic acid, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B12. Kale's Sodium was still 127% of the RDA, Selenium was 82% of the RDA, and Pantothenic acid was 91% of the RDA. Not bad for a single plant. I suspect that in a well-rounded whole plant diet these deficiencies would be resolved. If you grow your own Kale then you will make plenty of Vitamin D :) If you don't make enough then you can supplement Vitamin D like millions of animal-eating humans do. B12 is not included in plants, so obviously if you eat only plants you need to supplement it. It costs less than US$0.01/day so I don't see that as a major problem.

I'm highly suspicious that you will find many nutritionists who would say that Soylent is more nutritious than a diet of whole plant foods.

Notes: the USDA data for nutrient amounts in foods are not always very accurate. I believe the nutrient amounts linked by the parent represent an old Soylent recipe, since they have only 5g of fiber which is less than RDA of 25g (female) and 38g (male). "-" in the table indicates I don't have data for this. (+ (* 4.1 400) (* 50 4.1) (* 65 9.3)) => 2449.5 calories for the Soylent data you linked [edit: I'm not sure if carbs included fiber so it's possible that the Kale diet has 1% more calories than the Soylent diet]

Obviously I'm not recommending people eat 74.6 cups of Kale each day, but you can get all you need of these nutrients from a much more tasty diet of a variety of whole plant foods.

- Signature is valid, so it's not a defacement. ( http://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/26pz9b/truecrypt_dev... )

- The version there works and does not seem to have a trojan, so probably not a regular hacker. ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7813373 )

- Instructs to migrate to dubious alternatives, so it's not a legit security effort.

- License change, precise instructions and decrypt-only version indicate it's not a completely rushed press release. (license change: https://github.com/warewolf/truecrypt/compare/master...7.2#d... )

- On the other hand the Linux instruction is a joke, so it's not completely well thought either. ( http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/OtherPlatforms.html )

- The security audit was so far ok, so it's not a sudden vulnerability discovered there. ( https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/47174183672207360... )

- No details whatsoever other than a "may contain unfixed security issues", so it might be an automated release (doesn't know what happened) or gagged reaction (can't say what happened).

- Source code includes unrelated changes, so it probably comes from a developer. ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7812674 )

It's worth reflecting on why the makeup of the NFL is as it is. One could for example imagine that it has something to do with what the opportunities for people with different backgrounds are. To be more blunt, if being football players is one of the ways that people with disadvantaged backgrounds who went to poor schools have of succeeding in life, then one could view the makeup of the NFL as a symptom of a problem.
Can anyone else comment on the viability of this option? It seems pretty nice, from the website, but I'd like to hear more about it's reputation in the security community.

Off the top of my head, I'd say it has breaking changes such as changing push.default's default setting to only your current branch, as opposed to pushing all branches when you do a 'git push'. Git cli has been warning me of this change for a while where I didn't have a configured push.default, so I'll assume this is as 'breaking' as it gets.

I was diagnosed with PTSD after having spent my childhood being raised by a child molester. Since the molester was my dad I could never escape him, could never go to my parent for help. He kept it up for the first 12 years of my life (he told me he started when I was 2 months old). He also did this to my sister and forced us to engage in incestuous behavior to boot. The end result was that we were utterly unprepared for normal, caring, relationships.

I, a shy, weak, easily intimidated young man, reacted very poorly and became the opposite of my father. Unfortunately he is a hard charging, successful go-getter that is considered "Mr. Capable" so I became a slacking, stress avoiding "Mr. Loser". My sister, on the other hand, adopted all of his good traits, earning 2 PhDs from top schools and forging a career as a very highly paid scientist living a luxurious life in LA (and I was the "smart" one, lol). Thing is, we were both damaged quite badly, both attempted suicide, both suffering from debilitating depression, PTSD symptoms, etc.

My salvation, such as it is, came in the form of a loving wife who has nurtured me when needed and helped me grow into a more normal mode of living (this led to me teaching myself to program and finally, at age 45, earning a pretty decent living doing it). She cushioned the things that trigger me, guided me in making correct choices and basically taught me, over the almost 20 years we have been married, to be "normal" and I truly believe she saved my life. Her kindness and understanding has allowed my PTSD symptoms to fade over the years and minimized them when they do appear.

In three words, love saved me.

p.s. if you are a parent and have the sorts of feelings my father did towards us I beg of you to seek help. Please understand that acting on those desires will result in the harming and potential destruction of your children and the utter obliteration of your parent/child relationship. Imagine yourself being confronted by your broken and damaged adult children... do you really want to endure that? Seek help... if you haven't acted on it, you can get it with no consequences. If you have... stop now. On behalf of your children I beg you.

I think they increased the major version number because they did break backwards compatibility for a few things – the biggest of which is the default `git push` behavior. Relatively small breakages, but this upgrade is probably the only time they are allowing such changes.

If it was operator error during the development of a Dead-Man's-Switch, the developer will probably come out in public explaining the situation and apologizing.

And if this is a Dead-Man's-Switch gone right, why are they advocating the use of BitLocker and searching for random Linux packages?

Edit: is "coming out in public" the correct term here? I have a feeling it only applies to closet-like scenarios.
