Maybe but there is much blood on the floor of those markets. They rallied around one OS, if you recall, and that OS manufacturer was successfully prosecuted for exploiting their de-facto monopoly. Consumers were definitely harmed.

Dell, the leading hardware supplier lead the race to the bottom and now flounders. PC commodity markets are cut-throat and it is Intel that makes the real $.
We use KeypassX (https://www.keepassx.org/) and store the encrypted password database inside BTSync (http://www.bittorrent.com/sync), hosted on a secure internal server within our office. Both KeypassX and BTSync are free.
I don't believe BitLocker can be considered secure. Cross-post (mine) from the previous thread:

We at "helping faceless" are facing the same issue. Just an introduction to what we do, Every 8 minutes a child goes missing in India. We are trying to help these children with face recognition, Crowdsourced and Government Data.

Essentially We can't extend our search beyond age of 16 and below age of 9, reliably because the face structure changes ever so slightly that our similarity scores explode.We are using 4sf from openbr right now, but hope to look deeply into Facebook's Deep face for face recognition purpose. If only I could find a more detailed paper for deep face.

FDE was available from different vendors (I bought DriveCrypt PlusPack more than 15 yr ago and tried CompuSec (free) more than 10 yr ago, Comodo FDE is around since ~2k8).
So availability of FDE software can hardly be the reason. Neither the credibility of M$, in matters of quality of code as well as especially being an US based company.

Hugo v0.11 released
Right. But when you change one thing in the the PSD git can't do a diff and store the diff. Which means you now have basically the same 500meg file duplicated.

SVN and the like will attempt to store the binary deltas instead of duplicating the files. I don't believe git can actually do this due to the way branches / git itself works (it doesn't have a simple #1 - #2 - #3 ... #n commit chain setup)

There are plugins for handling binary assets better but they aren't great. and/or it just makes it less intuitive for the non-programmers which really defeats the whole purpose.

I absolutely _love_ git and I'm 99% sure this issue will be worked out at some point. I've seen teams just use git for the code and then use something else for art assets (alien brains or something).
I disagree. I can't ride a human to work. :-)

Hey thanks! I'd never realised they were from the same time-frame and knew each other. From the same article: "Rand's denials have not stopped other commentators from claiming stronger connections between Wright and Roark.[21][22] Wright himself equivocated about whether he thought Roark was based on him, sometimes implying that he was, at other times denying it.[23] Wright biographer Ada Louise Huxtable described the "yawning gap" between Wright's philosophy and Rand's, and quoted him declaring, "I deny the paternity and refuse to marry the mother."[24]"

This definitely solves my coding problems, and works great also in other IDEs like Eclipse. Great job guys!
Uhhh I don't want to "experience different cultures". People of other races and genders are not weird aliens that are going to challenge me. It's not like I'm asking to import some Ugandan field workers as colleagues. I just want to engage with more, different kinds of people from my own society. There are a lot of them out there.
Are the headphones any good? Stylistically, they look like something that you'd pick up from Poundland (UK), for a pound.
Well, its interesting is it not? Fabien has some nice language .. I was comfortably reminded of a stack of stuff from Felleisen that I still haven't got through, and should read instead of reading HN .. and actually Lua has a few fronts in the effort to make type- systems of different variety available to those that need it, so why not discuss it?

From that perspective, its an interesting article. If, like me, you're a fan of Lua as a general purpose platform for a lot of things, seeing the ease with which the grand masters tackle thornier issues .. its interesting, but also inspiring.
I used to admin VSS for a team. We had to run a nightly scheduled task to uncorrupt the database.

We ended up buying perforce which saved our arses but the days of VSS were dark days indeed.
As a political side note: I think the amount of personal responsibility of getting PTSD for a voluntarily subscribed soldier is way higher than for civilians finding themselves in a conflict.

I know this doesn't help - neither the soldiers nor the PTSDed civilians, yet, paradoxically, often the former are to some degree responsible for the PTSD of the latter.
I visited orlando last year, and it was impossible to get anywhere on foot, mostly due to distance but often also because pedestrians had not been taken into account in the road planning process. In fact, there was a large shopping mall visible across the road from our hotel, but no allowances had been made for crossing that road in anything but a vehicle, so we had to take a taxi to get there, or 2 buses.
I have a confession to make.

At my first job (small shop with three devs) they were using VSS and it was so much of a diasaster that I took it upon myself to prepare a sizable document on why do we need to move off of VSS to something like SVN. Manager's response was something along the lines of "I don't trust those fancy merge algorithms, unlock-modify-lock is the way to go". I couldn't convince him otherwise, he wouldn't even agree for a itsy-bitsy pilot project to test the waters.

Having exhausted all my options, I did two things. First, I "Got Latest" of the entire repository. Second, I wrote a smallish script that would overwrite a single random byte in a random number of files inside the VSS database directory and scheduled it to run overnight. Of course it would self-destruct upon completion, so that no traces were left.

The next morning, VSS was on it's knees and nothing could be done. Turned out we had no backups.

And this is how we "migrated" to SVN.
Nothing kept them from having an XP (VM) offline just for compilation.
It was best practice for security related products (actually for any development) to develop and compile offline anyway.
because programming is the new reading. The sooner we get everyone on board with that the faster we can start automating things and changing the world.

Also because I for one am very sick of dealing with all the brogrammers in SF :/

Well this is good for me. I currently use a TrueCyrypt encrypted exFAT volume for backups. My motivation is now to move this to an open source system (probably dm-crypt). This and RDP is the only reason I'm hanging onto windows and that's purely out of apathy. The suggestion of using BitLocker is a bit insulting (this might just be comedy value from TC though). Every other bit of software I use is portable or in a Linux VM already.

So my weekend project is now to move all my stuff to Debian.
You should be sorry for having such a persecution complex. How you can read the original article as an attack on white people is astonishing.

It is beyond question (although I'm sure you question it) that white people are by far the most privileged group of people around today. To see yourself is a victim because of your race and gender is simply an excuse for whatever insecurities you might have.

Most people in this world are born with a tremendous handicap. You had an advantage* . If you still feel threatened, then I'm sorry for you.

( * You may have been disadvantaged in other ways, but by being white you do have an advantage, whether you like it or not.)
OneTraction accelerator – scam?
I recently tried applying to accelerators on AngelList and received an acceptance letter to an accelerator called 'OneTraction', without talking to anyone or nothing, my team was asked to pay an "acceptance" fee of 390$, this startup boasts on their mentors page Sean Parker as a founder and an investor and Reid Hoffman as a mentor, after some research, I was unable to find any press about "OneTraction" which is odd considering the names mentoring this accelerator

This led me to believe that the accelerator in question is a scam which tries to rob us poor entrepreneurs from our food money in a critical time.
If I'm mistaken, I'm sorry, I would love to be mistaken, does anyone know of this?

In Germany another young man with Down syndrome is currently much talked and written about. It is about eleven year old Henri who took part in a model experiment to attended regular school classes.

Now that some of his classmates are about to go to high school, his parents try to get him also into high school.
Their reasoning is that it would be cruel and against the idea of the original experiment to separate him from his friends again. They don't argue that does not have the abilities to graduate. The whole argument is if a high schools should accept someone for other reasons than graduating.

Exactly.

An other reason could be it's a main entry point for code execution, a class that only purpose is the glue others.

In that case, having a lot of mocks is a code smell pointing that you should probably test this on the integration level rather than on the unit one (and thus, discard mocks and use "real" everything).

(but beware not to be too much self indulgent on what is a gluing class, most of the time, they are not and it's indeed a god class problem).
Well that was an option. An other one would have been to point out that svn does support lock-modify-unlock so that was no issue.
What the heck? I couldn't disagree more.

You don't have to create a branch before you write some code. Write the code, and if you think it should go on a different branch, type "git checkout -b 'branchname'". But if you don't want to, you don't have to! work on master for all anyone cares. Branches just help you! IF they are too hard, don't use them.

Branches were so problematic in subversion that nobody did them. In git, if you want to, then do it.

If you accidently check in something, just "git rm" it. You have this extra staging area.

If you are finding there is something problematic with your workflow, take the time to look up how to do it, and you'll find that the fix is a command away. You should never be copying/pasting stuff back into your IDE. If you are, you're doing it wrong.

The people you work with as colleagues are in cases like these just as important as the work itself, if not more so.

This quite possibly holds true for all people that work from home.

It will be very hard to ride the fine line between providing real work and making sure that you're not exploiting people in an already difficult situation.

If you want I can put you in contact with a lady that set up a courier service for people with what she calls a 'difficult body' that is wildly successful (it has over 1000 employees nowadays). If you feel like reading a bit about it google for 'valid express' and 'Nicolette Mak'.

I'm guessing that the reason this was downvoted was that I communicated poorly. Here is a better wording of what I was trying to say:

In the Navy you sink a ship from far away. It's more abstract; you don't see the enemy up close.

In the Army you fight battles face to face with the enemy, and it must be correspondingly more horrible.

So I would guess that Navy people (like my grandpa) had a generally more positive memory of the war than Army people.

BTW: 7.1a is around on so many mirrors (and would be uploaded by enthusiasts if not) that it is ridiculous to post a crippled 7.2. Except one is forced by 'force majeure'.

Has anyone had any luck with PhantomJS and web fonts?

I'd love to use PhantomJS for taking screenshots of designs supplied by third-parties to us, and changing the CSS involved by hand is not a realistic option.

The issue itself appears to be nearly 2 years old:

And PhantomJS's core developers appear to be putting off the fix until version 2 is released, whenever that may be:

https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/pull/12108

Any ideas? I'm currently investigating using SlimerJS, which uses the Gecko engine, but that involves its own different set of challenges.

> In the past, version control was something that existed but you never had to think about.

I think its the complexity of git that forces you to think about it. It's really not that user friendly, in comparison to SVN for example. Recently I had to teach a very senior DBA git so that he could check his SQL scripts into our repos, and I kept on thinking it would be much easier to teach someone SVN (actually he already had experience with that).

The big fallacy for me of distributed version control systems is that we all use them in a centralized way anyway (commit loses value, code does not exist at team level until pushed). It just adds another step to your work flow (code->commit->push vs. just code->commit), but the gain isn't obvious.
