Follow Up to “Why Most Unit Testing Is Waste” [pdf]
The steps of building infrastructure and investing outside the country, are pretty much exactly the same as was suggested for Scotland in the McCrone report in 1974.

Unfortunately, that report was classified as "secret" at the time, as it was felt the conclusions would boost support for Scottish independence. It wasn't released until 2005.

In an IT context, Ops refers to Operations (maintaining the operation of your IT infrastructure). If your infrastructure fails, Service(s) may be impacted (down/unavailable). Operations exists to keep the infrastructure (and resulting Services) alive and operational. A System Administrator (SysAdmin) is one of the roles (of many) in the traditional operations team. I see the traditional operations model evolving as infrastructure itself evolves. DevOps is a new operations methodology with a focus on leveraging development capabilities to simplify and automate traditional operations tasks. For example, identifying that a specific process always dies on a Server when x y and z happens, and in turn, writing a script/program to automatically restart the process when it experiences the defined behavior. Or another example, identifying that a network ACL needs to be modified when a new Server is provisioned, and in turn, writing a script/program to automatically populate the ACL when the Server is provisioned. Regarding TalentOps, seems to be a play on words to me; aka identifying other verticals of your startup staff and referring to it as <whatever>Ops as in "this person is responsible for <whatever> to operate".

I was thinking less along the lines of secret views, and instead, on how many people hold socialist-like beliefs without associating themselves (internally, not outwardly) with the word "socialist".

In the modern U.S., "socialist" and "communist" have become derogatory terms more than anything else, and their colloquial meanings are rarely consistent with any formal definition. Because of this stigma, it's easy for one to possess socialist beliefs while simultaneously dismissing all things "socialist", as they are universally negative.

“If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was, and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.”

Excellent expansion of the material Sean, especially the reference to the influence of your thesis on SuperGlue and self adjusting computation!

The time has now come to set your prototype free, as you promised to. It is one thing to evaluate videos and papers, and quite another to work with a prototype and submit changes/proposals/code.

> I can understand why some inmates should not have access to internet to prevent them from directing their activities outside of prison but I'm sure that those are a small minority.

First, you underestimate how bad it is in prison.

Second, giving internet access some some inmates would expose them to threats and blackmail from their less rehabilitated counterparts. "Send this threatening email to my enemy, or you'll drop the soap." And it would expose them to threats from the outside: "I know you're in prison with my enemy. Kill him, or your daughter will suffer."

Third, you underestimate how bad it is in prison.

The rehabilitation is a noble goal but what these guys needs are psychologists, drug therapy and social workers, not internet addiction.

Google's latest big-data tool, Mesa, aims for speed
You need to determine how to send the message to the phone. Flipping the kill switch on an iPhone will require talking to Apple, for instance, whereas I'm pretty sure you would not talk to Apple to flip the kill switch on a Samsung phone. There will be at a minimum three different mechanisms you'd have to deal with (Apple, Google if they build this into Android and all Android phone makers and carriers leave it in place instead of replacing it with their own version, and Microsoft). There could be dozens if Android phone makers go their own way, or if the phone carriers customize the firmware to replace the kill switch from the hardware maker or Google with their own.

There is no requirement that an API be provided to law enforcement. That "sendmessage" method could come down to someone on the law enforcement side getting on the phone with Apple or Google or Microsoft or a service provider and telling them the numbers to kill.

This is assuming that Apple or Google or whoever even can flip the kill switch without the assistance of the phone's authorized user. They could easily design the kill switch system so that the person flipping the switch has to know the authorized user's password [1]. There is nothing in the bill that I see that says they have to design the kill mechanism to allow law enforcement or the manufacturer or the carrier to be able to use it.

[1] For instance, the phone could ask for your iCloud or Google account information when you set up the kill switch for the first time, and then it could store on the phone a hash of the concatenation of your password and the phone serial number. The kill switch mechanism could require that the kill command include that hash, thus proving to the phone that the sender had access to your password.

Mostly Alberta, but also other places, especially given that many provinces have smallish populations, so it doesn't take a lot of oil to be a large part of the economy. British Columbia, for example, has 4.6 million people and produces 20k barrels/day of oil, which is more per capita than Texas (even after the recent jump in Texas's production). But it's not as economy-dominating as in Alaska, Norway, or Alberta.

Allow Include option in OpenSSH config
It is about time OpenSSH takes the submitted patch (5 years in waiting!) into a release so that users can start composing their ~/.ssh/config from multiple files. With the advent of cloud computing, many users have a need for including generated parts into their configuration which would be considerably easier with an Include option. And even better would be if it would support config directories like "~/.ssh/config.d/*" which would include all files matching the given pattern.

I'd say that all of them are arseholes. The ones running the scams are not the local poor - they are poor relative to us in the west, but not in local economy they are relatively powerful. They are the local criminal hot-shots.

>but often the people on the ground are just human beings who have no other way to earn money

This is the problem. The above people use the poor(er) in their area as cannon fodder. When a 419eater story shows someone in a massively embarrassing situation that is not the scammer, it is some local fool that the scammer has somehow scammed (or forced) into playing the game. Yes they have wasted the scammer's time, but that is not the scammer being humiliated in those pictures.

As I've said, I only needed it a couple of times. Quickly Googled "batch image convert rename linux" or sth like that, saw which tool(s) I can use, checked the man page and I was done. My point was that if it had a simple GUI, I wouldn't have to read the man page.

_Settling_ on a solution indicates that a task is performed more often. In such a case, CLI is perfectly fine, because you learn how to use it while you do it and this knowledge sticks after several uses.

> It isn't farfetched to assume that network providers don't really care about stolen phones in the third world.

Network providers probably don't care about stolen phones in the first world. If they could find a way to ignore domestic IMEI blacklists without too much public outcry, they probably would.

In the US, the top four carriers make almost $8 billion per year selling theft insurance to their customers [1]. I don't have a cite handy, but I recall reading that they also make a huge amount selling replacement phones to people whose phones were stolen.

Samsung planned to do a kill switch on its phones to fight theft a while ago, and the carriers blocked it. Many believe they blocked it to protect those insurance and replacement phone profits.

Definitely not the case for me. I started programming with BASIC on my C64and that was just endless copying from books. I assure you I learnt nothing from it - not something to be proud of (I was just starting out), but it goes to show that you can mindlessly copy stuff from a textbook without really reading as you can with copying and pasting.
But I suspect it's only a matter of time before the FBI/CIA/NSA (or local PD) will be able to unilaterally decide it's in the "public interest" to suddenly shut off every phone in a particular geofence.

They can do that already just by shutting off the cell tower or blocking specific users from it.
Ok, not proof but reasonably resistant.

Actually you are the one who's missing the point (as was the other ignoramus who "knee jerked" down voted me before asking for clarification on the subject).

Open source just means the source code is available. It doesn't mean the source code has to be distributed with a permissive, 'copyleft', licence. While it's true that when one usually talks about "open source projects" they typically refer Apache, GPL, BSD (et al) licensed code (and culturally that would be a fair description), but when one talks about the code being open source it can also refer to proprietary projects as well (as is the case with some of Microsoft's non-free open source licences).

So my comment makes perfect sense given the parent I was replying to: "I wonder if Oregon has jurisdiction to open-source this stuff. I'd love to see the atrocities.". In this instance, the less permissive open source definition would be valid since:

(1) you wouldn't be able to redistribute the code anyway (the government might force a company to release their source code, but it's even less likely they would want to alter the terms of a copyright agreement (and even less likely for US-based companies given the investment America has in intellectual properties)

(2) you can already read the source code to "see the atrocities" (which was the crux of my point rather than arguing about what classifies as "open source" - but well done for completely missing that point and every other subsequent point)

Lastly, before you turn this into an evangelical licence flamewar; I primarily write and contribute towards GPL projects, so I full endorse and support copyleft licences. In fact I'd go further than that and say that source code that's available for viewing but not for redistribution is more damaging than good; but that's a whole other topic of conversation.
