I went back and forth as I read the article.

I work in the public sector (K12 Education) and I find that many of the problems I deal with are the same impetus for the policy they've used.

You're right, however- I think it should be on a case-by-case basis. It's obvious that heavily used end-user desktops/laptops/etc need to be upgraded at least once every 13 years, but some server hardware might last a bit longer than 15 or so.

I guess it all boils down to cost/reward.
That is why Redhat contributed SELinux support for Docker so you can run with Mandatory Access Control enabled. Docker is a layer, and security is best in multiple layers. One of them will always be broken.
Well, I submitted it because I found it incredibly inspiring and interesting. I didn't read it as political, but rather as a story about an actual family trying to live non-violently in a very difficult environment.

Yes please. After spending way to much time with Ant / Maven / Gradle, I'm convinced they all got it wrong. A build system that doesn't suck is like a unicorn - rumored to exist, but nobody's seen one yet (except Leiningen, people seem to have no complaints about that one).

>For one tiny span of time the SEO world is given a taste of its own medicine. //

I'm surprised at you for ascribing evil to an entire online industrial sector; I'd think you'd take a more circumspect approach.

Y'know, given that the next line is tantamount to 'I perpetrated a massive copyright infringement on hundreds of thousands of people's online content'; that you might feel that even tortuous actions can sometimes be justified.

People do bad things in most (all?) areas of human activity; SEOs can do good too IMO. It decreases the impact of any analysis to ignore that SEO is a valid activity - albeit, yes, sometimes done in malicious, invalid and/or immoral ways.
I don't understand how negative SEO could not exist. Google is cracking down on people buying back links right? If I bought links for a competitor's website, wouldn't it stand to reason they'll be punished? Google has no idea who is doing the purchasing. (You could replace buying links with any action Google' algo punishes.)

As long as Google's algorithm has punitive measures in it from something that happens off of your site, it stands to reason a competitor could do those things on your behalf.

This quote is extremely relevant when criticizing apple products based solely on specifications: http://slashdot.org/story/01/10/23/1816257/apple-releases-ip...

Simply put, because it's designed by Apple. Evidently, that alone is enough to drive a much higher demand than similarly priced competing products.

At a previous company we got featured by Apple as one of the 'Made for iOS 7' apps. We had been in contact with them previously. I think we met a few people at WWDC or they reached out to us, I can't remember. But basically they asked us to submit some artwork, and then one day we appeared on the list.

Most of the time, to get featured, you need to be doing something a little unique. We were one of the only healthcare apps using the new features of iOS 7. After that they ask for artwork and then you wait and pray. :)

"Why draw the line at family and friends? It's a natural place to draw the line. I think if you study psychology and the evolution of the human mind that's pretty obvious."

I think if you study those things, you'll realize that it's not at all obvious. Clearly there's a difference between your blood relatives and the rest of humanity, but we collaborate and dependent on non-related strangers far more than any other species, and we have morals that support that kind of behavior. Why, do you think, we accuse people of nepotism, when they favor family in some scenarios (particularly in business and politics)?

I think the slogan "charity begins at home" is not appropriate to excuse one's ignorance of others' plight, and the fact that we have this debate is a good proof that human ethics are, in fact, more sophisticated.

While the author called the exploit "shocker" I don't think anybody is shocked by it. There are likely many other ways to break out of Docker. And while I assume the Docker (and kernel!) people are closing them as they come along, I don't think anyone is claiming Docker is unescapable so it's not a surprise if it is.

I don't have any skin in the game, but what if we do a thought experiment?

You are a marketer who is running a big physical sign in real life near some intersection, selling widgets. There are always 10 other signs there. There is one very overworked official who checks the signs to make sure they aren't overtly bad for people looking at them.

You notice that two of the signs competing with your client blatantly say that they sell widgets, that their widgets cure cancer, and that other cancer treatments are shams. You know that this sign will mislead or annoy people at the very least, and also that the officials who decide what signs stay up would probably removed it if they look closer.

It just so happens that you know that the overworked official will look closer at signs if you put a red flag on them. Putting a red flag on a "good" sign will make the official look closer but not do anything about it. But if the official notices the "bad" signs in question, he will probably take them down.

You do it self servingly, of course, but if the signs weren't on the "bad" side in the first place, then the official wouldn't take it down. It's arguable that its not immoral to flag those signs - the flag just tells the overworked official algorithm to look closer and a little more stringently.

To be clear: I don't do negative SEO or anything not 100% white hat in the little SEO work I do. But applying negative SEO to an otherwise "good website" is like putting weight concrete on the base of an already huge pillar. It can really only hurt borderline sites, as defined by Google's rules.
It's not always easier to swap out broken/substandard bits than to start over again with the original as a reference. In the opinion of this particular Truecrypt developer, in this particular case it would not be.

Safe Integers in JavaScript
That's strange.

I built one last year, and it's far from being a nightmare. I also followed the builds from the site you mentioned, as best as I could in my country (local dealers are cheaper, or on-par to amazon around here) - the few deviations I had to make just require me to replace the NIC and Graphic kexts after an update (but I can do this on the same system, it's not unusable without them). The only other problem I did not bother to fix yet is that I can't watch hardware-accelerated movies in the browser (really not required with the work I do this machine).

But still, it was for fun. I'd never use them as a substitute to the real thing, the price difference is too small IMHO – I do factor in the time I "waste" on a system.

So I don't quite get where people got the Idea that a Hackintosh is worth the hassle to be used as a substitute. C'mon, it's even in the name.

This is literally the worst possible thing you can say to someone who is suicidal.

You're a terrible person, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

You've just reinvented the air launched cruise missile.

A close cousin of the very popular fire -n- forget missile and the smart bomb.

Something that must be considered is pilots that aren't risking their butts might be a little more ... aggressive with drones. And drones larger than RC planes aren't any lighter or cheaper than manned craft (so you yank out 400 pounds of life support and cockpit, and replace it with 350 pounds of radios, satellite downlinks and computers. "Eh") So this agressiveness could make mission costs somewhat higher.
Why can't Google just apply a different algorithm to link farms that have appeared recently? Presumably anything relatively recent is either someone who doesn't know about the changes to the algorithm that penalize link farms, or is engaging in negative SEO.
Shut it you demeaning, ignorant, jerk. Not everyone believes in your definition of "mortal sin" or even the concept and telling someone struggling with something so profound to "not be a crybaby" is one of the most rage inducing, unhelpful and ridiculous things I've ever heard.

You have no idea what you are talking about.
Good advice, in my opinion. On implementation:

Run: Sell / give away / otherwise dispose of everything that anchors you to memories of the past. Archive or delete photos. Move house.

Fight: Physically: If you can drag yourself to it, find someone who teaches MMA and doesn't pull their punches, and doesn't expect you to either (edit: I mean, in a control situation where the training is hard, not like fight club or something). It feels damn good to be beaten up, and to be able to hit someone as hard as you can. Mentally / emotionally: don't kill yourself. Fight it.

Reborn: Just survive the next 6 - 12 months and you will be. I don't think there's anything you can do to make this happen over night. I've worked with some good counsellors and psychologists that have helped along the way. The good ones always say shocking things, for example one psychologist said to me "Look, I don't think being emotive is really that effective for you. Probably what you need to do is drink some cement - that is, harden the fuck up. Or, if you think it will help, drink your own urine. But anyway, clearly sitting around crying about your situation isn't working for you", which, in the context of what was happening, was exactly what I needed to hear. Hearing someone else say "oh, poor you, that must be hard" would have only made things worse. One of the best things a friend said to me was "Go on, kill yourself, you'll at least have achieved more than me." Ha!

To those reading the above post and wondering if this is acceptable behavior for SEO's: It isn't. It's called black-hat SEO, and it's full of people like this who pull dirty tricks without any shame. They even justify it to themselves--they're doing it because somebody's gotta do it, and everybody does it anyway!

Please, please, _please_ go see an actual mental health professional. They have the training and experience to help you in this situation. Random foreign denizens probably do not, and even if they do, this isn't the right place to be able to help.

I didn't do it for a very long time due to social stigmas around mental issues. I was never suicidal, but seriously. Please do it.

Estonia is very impressive of how they have kept pace with technology. I think it helps that they have a 34 year old prime minister. Even his predecessors made it a priority to bring tech into government services and the citizens' everyday lives. We can see the benefits of those policies now.
I call them as I see them. If you want to characterize reocities.com as a copyright infringement case then I invite you to sue.

I take it you have a similar attitude towards archive.org?

SEO's act the same way arms dealers act during an armed conflict. They will happily sell their weapons to all sides while they profit without creating any value for anybody. I don't care one bit about how much traffic google sends me on either ww.com, reocities.com or any of the other web properties that I maintain, I've yet to 'SEO optimize' anything and I feel that SEO's are as an industry just one notch above mass spammers. In some cases worse than spammers (because they actively destroy good websites).

I tend to be rather black-and-white about this because as a webmaster I have to fight these jerks on a regular basis and it tends to show in how I write about them. Consider me pissed off. I feel like I'm in the middle of a shoot-out between Google on the one side, and a bunch of over-active greedy script kiddies and their customers on the other.

If you feel SEO can do good show me an example where an SEO achieved value creation rather than shifting around a percentage in some zero sum game. The only value SEO's create is for themselves.
Considering that no one else makes a decent desktop or laptop anymore and hasn't for years, I'd say this is quite newsworthy.

Take a break, as others suggested, but with people. Maybe try changing your environment? I'm not a programmer, but close (well, a copywriter/marketer with humanities background) and noticed that you devs are different when it comes to emotions that other people. Maybe change your environment for a bit?

Working out is a good idea, though I'm not sure about the gym - it's quite solitary anyway! What helped me once was kendo. Roaring for two hours straight, being (gently) commanded by the sensei, lots of sweat and muscle pain made me think differently.

All in all - you can do it! Come back here in a few months and tell us how it turned out!
My guess? This suggests the old paradigm Mac Mini's lifecycle may be winding down because this targets Apple's core market in a manner consistent with the rest of Apple's product lineup and the not-all-in-one Mini doesn't no matter how much communities like this one love it.
Why would you say it would be "easily resolved"? Does Google have a history of "fixing" bad search rankings upon being presented with evidence? I mean any history at all, much less "easily resolving" it?
As someone with plenty of first-hand experience, it was precisely being surrounded by people with that attitude that made me want to do it.

SSL is actually going to be free by the end of 2014 for everyone. That's one of the projects I'm working on now, although it pre-dates my joining CloudFlare. That, and a few other less-public projects which are also launching this year, were some of my main motivation for selling to CloudFlare -- it's a huge network, and the founders and the rest of the team are genuinely committed to doing things which make the Internet better (and then make money in the process).

I think this might be the key to his depression:

I put up with a lot of startup bullshit...

Stress symptoms don't necessarily manifest themselves immediately. It might be something that happened long time ago (3 - 6 months) surfacing now. And when it is happening, you might not pay attention to it, you might be inclined to overlook. (citation needed)

50% is not wanting to put others through torment.

This is BS. Committing suicide with certainty and without much pain is hard work. I know, I had done my homework. But a good programmer should be able to come up with better strategies than walking into the traffic.

Besides why do you care? You'll be dead.

There is no other 40%.

I think the other 40% is because you know subconsciously that you can actually go on. You just don't know how. Still, it's preferable to be alive than dead. Call it will if you like.

I hope he can change his circumstances and get rid of the depression real soon.
Doing due diligence on the parties that you enter into business with is an obligation on the part of the purchaser. Anybody that does something shady which you claim was done outside of your control should be accompanied by a breach of contract lawsuit or something to that effect. And if it isn't then that implies tacit agreement or turning a blind eye to the tactics deployed as long as there are results. Reputable companies keep a tight leash on what subcontractors do in their name.

The whole problem is that if cost/benefit is evaluated with an artificially reduced benefit horizon (e.g. the period an administrator will spend in a position able to take credit for the improvement) then benefit will be systematically underestimated and outdated system will be irrationally favored.
