When I was first writing Java for feature phones I much preferred Netbeans to Eclipse mainly because Netbeans avoided presenting large numbers of nonsensical commands in the menus. That is, Netbeans behaved much more like a proper GUI. Both Netbeans and Eclipse suffer from adapting command line interfaces to a GUI, and it's hard to do that and to filter out nonsensical combinations of command line flags reflected in the way those options are presented in a GUI. But, in addition to that challenge, Eclipse's modularity-over-usability philosophy hampers it more.
The sad thing is we will probably never learn the exact problem and that means we the industry will never learn from their stupidity.

I think you may be missing that one of CloudFlare's key features is DDoS protection (and in fact it was a DDoS that initially caused the banks to approach them), including at the application layer. That functionality cannot be fulfilled without CloudFlare having access to the content of the communications, nor can any of their other application-layer security functions.

Disclaimer: I am a self taught programmer.

Personally I prefer self taught engineers over university or other education. Autodidacts are generally more motivated to learn in my experience and represent the very best engineers I have had the pleasure of working with.

The best university educated minds I have worked with have tended to come from non-CS backgrounds, specifically mathematics and physics.

This is not to say CS degrees are not useful, just my personal anecdotal evidence leads me to favor the self taught, mostly for their attitude and general grit.

I used to program in PHP, with NetBeans at first, and switching to PhpStorm was an incredible relief.

Perhaps things have improved since then, but I remember NetBeans to be awfully buggy, eg. it could make it look as if files were saved whereas, uhm, they weren't, because of which once it got close to being banned in the company that I worked at.

That's this bug I believe: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206513

(Note how prompty and efficiently resolved it was)
Straight edge, so, teetotal.
A huge boom in the middle class, as witnessed by the end of the Great Depression through the 1970s, during which time tax rates were incredibly high on high income as compared to today.

Also closing gaps in income inequality, and continued spending by that larger percentage of middle-class population.

Or so history teaches us, which we're rather happy to ignore now.
This is a surprisingly Vague article for MIT press. I understand its just the press release and not the white paper but could there not be a little more detail? Perhaps Interns are writing it could it not have a bit more content be it data, opinion from scientist, the leading theory in the area.

Its exciting stuff and not a dead end article, so little progress has been made in this field and the unknowns are so fast that eve a glimpse is interesting.
^This. Well, I'm 20 and I had half of a bud light at a block party. tasted like horse piss, and I haven't considered wanting a drink since.
I love it when CEO's own up like this, it's probably one of the most appealing traits in a leader I personally can think of. As long as they don't become too insecure to actually lead, introspection and self-criticism are strengths, not weaknesses. Besides, being aware of these traits and their negative repercussions put you in a pretty good place, the ones who really suffer are the guys who repress and deny the down slopes, always happy and bubbly on the outside but in reality inches from a mental breakdown.

The last part about how stress causes physical health problems is very important, and very overlooked. Besides the muscle and nervous tension the OP mentioned, stress seriously reduces immunity which can manifest itself in a myriad of unexpected ways (whichever subsystem fails first), from infections to cysts and all kinds of nastiness.
> I agree that people should do something they enjoy (doesn't need to be selfish).

To some people, doing something you enjoy is selfish by definition. In what way it affects others (if at all) is a totally different matter.
The best thing for me with Netbeans is the visual diff feature and local history, which works with git. There's a side by side diff view, and there's a clickable gutter marker in normal mode.

You can see individual changes, see history of a file, revert back lines, see what happened upon every save, not just every commit. I use it for Ruby on Rails. This, and the find (grep) feature is the only feature that I use. None of the other bells or whistles.

I've been working on plugin for Geany that approaches this, but nothing has matched it for Netbeans.
I checked teetotaler but in an effort to be truthful, I'll state that I do drink very rarely (amounting to perhaps one or two glasses of wine a year). I don't think that makes me a "social drinker" but I also don't want to drag down a celebration by being "that vocal objector" (would you refuse to toast with champagne at a wedding?).
I respect that decision, but it is a bit of a false dichotomy. You can responsibly drink w/o becoming "a mess". Granted, that probably works better as an adult than as a teenager. Personally, I follow the 'everything in moderation, even moderation' approach.
The following comment/observation could be about anything - not specific to drinking. You wrote "I was forced ... to resume drinking...". No you weren't. You chose to do so. You may feel that you were pressured by other people to drink but I would bet a huge amount that no one tied your hands and used force to feed you alcohol. If you ever need motivation to refuse to drink, re-read the rest of your post and you should find all the good reasons to do so.
I think the BBC already does a good job of this. Our regional boundaries are already pretty much defined. eg, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_UK_regional_TV_on_satellite...

Growing up, I had absolutely no problems comprehending that my county (cumbria) was part of a region (the north-west), which is why we got Manchester's news on the TV. That region was then part of a country, and a few countries made up our nation.

We already have these tiers of identity. We already have borough seats, county seats, city seats, etc. If we federalized the UK along the same sort of regional identities the BBC does, I don't believe we'd suddenly lose any county/country/national identity.

(Perhaps not exactly the same boundaries, but I can't help looking at their map and thinking - yeah, that's a good start)

Ask HN: What are the skill set a DevOps should possess
Hello All,
Recently I was going through some job offer and title of the positions "DevOps". It seems more like a backend developer but why people title these positions as "DevOps" not "Backend Developer". Are there specific skill set a "DevOps" should have? If you are working as a DevOps, please share responsibility of the role and if you have idea, please share it.
It's weird when you encounter people who develop/code while drinking heavily. I know a crew that does this, spends evenings doing sessions with tons of beer.

Frankly I don't think it leads to much productivity, but there may be some social benefits. That said, me + beer + code = some cleanup the next morning.

I love beer and beer only, and leading the dev half of a startup + a new baby has really deprioritized that in my life. I drink on Friday and Saturday nights exclusively, no more than 4 drinks and always at home. Even then I feel a bit rough, grumpy and unproductive the following day.

I think that while age may play a role in this - the proverbial "I can't drink like when I was in my 20s" - I think it's more a matter of the amount of responsibilities and how that translates into recovery time. When I was 24, I could spend a whole Saturday and Sunday doing nothing but recovering from a hangover. If I did that today I'd spend months recovering from a divorce and a collapsed business.

Ultimately, my experience switching from casual drinking to limited drinking has cemented the fact that alcohol is generally bad for a human that needs to get things done every day. This a bummer for me because I'd otherwise be fine drinking 3 good beers a night.
Used to drink beer every day because I like the taste. Quit because of dieting since taste is pretty much proportional to calories.

Beer is probably my second best drink, right after water. Too bad I can't drink it anymore.
I would've loved to read a long comment with background on the current enterprise landscape. Even a rant or unpopular opinion. The "GRRRR!!" itself doesn't tell me much.
The poll seems coloured/biased towards binge-drinking cultures. To say that someone who has a glass of beer with his dinner on most days is a "heavy drinker" sounds ridiculous.
What if there are legal issues?
I'm the same way. Alcoholic drinks never appealed to me in any way. To me they taste bad and smell bad. And the idea of becoming intoxicated is in no way appealing.

I am clearly in the minority of people in the world. But I really have no idea why alcohol is so popular.

I remember filling out Excel spreadsheets for expense reports and attaching a bunch of receipts and sending them in. Concur is better than that, at least.

My experience with Concur has actually been better than my previous experience with Shoeboxed because Concur is tied to my corporate AmEx card... there are actually very few expenses that I need to do much manual touchup on.
Oh I heard of similar cases, sorry about that.

From the user POV, nothing is changed. The decision to deprecate SHA1 or not isn't specific to Keyless SSL (ie, Keyless SSL isn't a new product for the users)

From the bank's point of view, where we can say that Keyless SSL is a new product, only 2 cipher suites are allowed:

ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384

which, as you can see, don't include sha1.

I've been depressed for over ten years, I'm currently thirty years old.

I left my job in January due to depression, though I didn't tell anyone. I haven't worked a day since then and am just living off savings as they dwindle. I haven't spoken to any of my former co-workers who were my only contacts in the Bay Area since I moved from the East Coast to work at a startup. I've spent all day every day numbing myself with weed, porn, mindless internet browsing, etc. I don't even code, every time I open up Xcode or Android Studio I just end up doing nothing. And I honestly just don't want to do anything.

The last time I went out socially was in January of this year and even that was just with my then co-workers. And over the past ten and fifteen years it hasn't been any different. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been out socially over the past ten years that wasn't work related (and while employed the number of times I went out with co-workers also number in the single digits).

The isolation is what kills me. I haven't had sex in several years and haven't had any intimate relationships in my entire life (the sex were just one nighters and nothing more, and I've never had a "best friend", not even in high school or middle school). Unlike a lot of people with depression, I don't have friends, family (all on East Coast), or girlfriends (I've never had one). I don't even talk with people online, not through FB, not anonymously on web forums or instant messaging. In the past week the only people I've talked to is the cashier at the local supermarket, and that was just to say I wanted a bag and say "thanks see ya later". In fact this is the first time I've written about depression online, I've only told a few people (my mom and a doctor) that I even have it.

I've had a hard time dealing with it. I'm trying to get into meditation and what not. But I mostly fear the effect of this extreme isolation. There's a lot of evidence that it kills your brain (literally).

I'm reading a book called "The mindful way through Depression". I bought it over two years ago and only started reading it two months ago. I'm still only halfway through. The worst part of depression is that it saps my energy to do anything, even when I do read the book I'll read several pages and not remember a thing of what I read.

Sorry about the wall of text if anyone reads this, but it's 5:46 AM and I'm not doing anything else. I haven't gone to sleep yet...I'm just mindlessly browsing the web (I discovered a new TV show earlier today and am marathoning it right now). Either way I still hold some optimism for the future.

Well this is great. This will make a patent search little bit easy for a person who doesnt know the language of the patent in which it has written.
I can speak from my experience. I was for a long time drinking 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning. During the morning, generally things were good and I could crank out code. However, during early-mid afternoon I'd often get overwhelmed, tired, and unfocused, especially when multitasking, and often would lapse into a browse-reddit/agh-i'm-not-being-productive/browse-more-reddit cycle. Cutting down to one 1 cup in the morning has made a real difference - I no longer get the early afternoon slump, and can stay focused for longer in the afternoon without being overwhelmed by a long task list.
There's a cool iOS app called TI:ME which has decimal, octal, hexadecimal, swatch, and the trigonometry clock.
I was a heavy drinker for about two/three years. When I say heavy, I mean a fifth of rum every afternoon. I do my best not to drink like that any more, but I still have the habit. So if I'm not paying attention to what I'm doing, my beer will vanish in about a minute and a half, and I'll have another one, and another, and another etc.
Sorry website down, the community driven hosting server seems to have issues ...
But from Eclipse? :)
I find most people don't really see that as a problem. You probably already have another drink to use nearby.
To give a brief impression, two things:

- parts of the server side SAP components communicate via telnet

- the user interface of SAP requires users to navigate between different dialogs/forms by manually entering a so-called transaction code (p.e. http://www.tcodesearch.com/)
playing this without really thinking it through, so my remarks may be off.

the mechanics are unusual in the sense that they're deceptively simple but cunningly difficult at the same time... challenging.

becoming stuck (in level 3, e.g. when reaching the spaceship without the key) is annoying. could be that you intended this, but for a casual game it would feel better if that couldn't happen.

related : having to grab the mouse to click the 'replay' button is annoying too. maybe just use a key ? same goes for the 'next' / 'prev' button.
when the spaceship flies away it triggers an annoying (growing) scrollbar at the bottom of the page. some overflow: hidden missing somewhere ?

overall I like the concept. someone else already suggested making the board larger, which I completely agree with.
As the person at Automated Insights who writes most of our blog posts and white papers, I agree that human writers are essential! Typically, our software does jobs humans either can't do (it's not practical for humans to write millions of fantasy recaps per week) or don't want to do (when AP announced it would use our software to automate corporate earnings stories, reporters who had done that job manually were the most excited).

My old boss's brother liked to drink, and he always spent one month a year dry in order to prove he was still in control. But she said he always made it February, because it was the shortest month...
An interesting read, but poorly titled, either by the author or by their editors: The article isn't exclusively about cryptology, but about the broader field of SIGINT/COMINT.

Two examples of non-crypto trends cited in the article: The increasing use of VHF by Chinese and North Korean forces, complicating intercept (VHF intercept has to be line of sight) and the near-complete ignorance of traffic analysis and of analysis of Chinese supply management, e.g., that they were ordering large quantities of maps of Korea, etc.

The allies had the data to tell them the Chinese were preparing, e.g., presence of Chinese prisoners captured by ROK forces, but dismissed much of it.

None of the above is cryptology.
I think it's fair to say that this analysis applies better to web/app companies. There's just a fundamental problem with raising (and burning) millions trying to grow a site for inbound marketing, or an app for dating, or what have you, even though these are great ideas and things that people want:

You likely won't be able to generate real revenue on something whose value is so immediately replicable or replaceable.

There needs to be a caveat to "build something people want": there has to be some barrier so that others can't compete so easily. Customer and market understanding is one, and that's certainly helped. But again, the replication model, which will drive down profits for everyone, kicks in. Technical superiority is a possible solution, but most web/app products simply wouldn't benefit from this because their functionality is trivial.

Of course, there are exceptions. Unicorns. Things like Whatsapp, Twitter, and Salesforce come to mind. Obviously their initial products were replicable, but the winner-takes-all network effects (and eventual "platform dynamics") create that lock-in. For every one of them, 1000s of similar companies fail. The problem is when VC money is chasing those 1000s of likely-to-fail-I-might-do-it-too companies. They're more likely to fail than laundromats, but they're burning millions in an attempt to be those "winners". Easier than investing in clean energy though.

Fundamentally, as a society we need some technical advancement to create meaningful economic growth. We can't just keep advertising and selling the same stuff to each other. When a sector is running dry on innovation opportunities (i.e. webs/apps) maybe it's time to look elsewhere. Or stick around and wait for unicorns. Meh.

For now though, how people want to misappropriate (in my opinion) their money is their choice, as long as most of this doesn't get dumped on John Smith from The Public like it did in 2000.
>“We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters.”

The flying car thing is actually getting closer with the likes of the Terrafugia, and the advances with self driving cars give me hope that they may progress with self piloting aircraft. At the moment piloting planes is a bit tricky for everyday use. I did a private pilot's licence and it's hard work as is flying a small aircraft in terms of radioing the
various air traffic controllers and similar tasks.

Props to Jamie Hankins for the brilliant TXT record idea that inspired me to try this.
Sure.

I've found that when I drink coffee regularly over a long period, my intake invariably increases. Eventually, it reaches 2 cups of double-espresso-with-milk or equivalent a day, and goes past that too... after a few weeks or something months of that, I start getting strange episodes at random times that I describe as "light anxiety attacks".

The way they feel is that I get an impression that something, SOMETHING is wrong. I'm not sure quite what, but I don't realise that I'm not sure what until I realise I'm having one of these attacks. There's an unpleasant feeling of tension that starts in the chest and radiates out to the rest of the body - all the way to fingers and feet, through shoulders, knees, etc. That's the physiological aspects. Mentally, I feel like everything is going wrong. Nothing looks like it's going to work out. I tend to be more aggressive and curt with people, and extremely negative of course, since nothing seems like a good idea. In one of these episodes, I could easily find myself thinking that this business that I run, that employs 17 people and turns over over a million pounds, is doomed and that I should just leave it and run away from it and do something else. When I think something so ridiculous, usually some part of me wakes up and says "hey, that's not quite right", and then I realise I am having an anxiety attack.

If awake, once I realise that's what's going on I can deal with it fairly effectively. Get rid of any physical discomforts (e.g. go pee if I need to pee), have some water, take some deep breaths, and refocus on positive things. It used to take longer, but by now, once I realise it's happening, I can get out of it in a couple of minutes, even while I'm in the middle of conversation with others, so it's not noticeable to others.

If I'm asleep, it's more bothersome, because I'm unlikely to notice it in a half-dream state... so I'll lie in bed half-awake and half into some kind of mild nightmare where everything keeps going wrong and I feel stressed. Eventually, 30-60 minutes later, I'll actually realise what's going on, and go and open the window, take some deep breaths, go to the loo, have some water, etc... then once it's calmed away, I can go back to sleep.

I would not call this an "anxiety attack" in the full sense because usually people who suffer anxiety attacks can't get out of them so easily... but it definitely seems to overlap with the general understanding of what an anxiety attack is meant to be like. So I call this a "very mild anxiety attack".

I've noticed that when those are happening more regularly (e.g. once or twice a day), if I reduce my caffeine intake to zero, they go away almost entirely within a couple of days. So I'm pretty sure it's caffeine-induced.
