WhatTheFont is a good resource. Identifont is another one that helps you narrow things down on your own, though the results can be spotty at times.

I'm active on this part of the site, and I see most questions get answered in some way. If you like the Stack Overflow format, it's a great way to get help. The tag wiki has a lot of resources to check out apart from the SE site itself.

As an aside, it's interesting that the Sci-Fi Stack Exchange has a lot of questions pertaining to "Story Identification" - a similar concept in a different genre of knowledge. Cool to see sites out there where experts hang out and beginners can get help.
Yeah, that wikiperida is sketch.

What about fitting it into different cars? You would probably need a new mask or bezel if the opening isn't the right shape.
I would not infer that the "list of the applications and programs" would mean the "source code of the applications".

I would assume its literally what it says, the lists most big orgs maintain of their standard system configuration(s).
Homebrew now has prepackaged binaries ("bottles") for most of the packages that take awhile to build, which has really helped the speed thing.
As you know: In my references, most researchers seems to be between 15-20 millions.

My definition of slave:

Someone living with no rule of law. No human rights. E.g. their property and lives can be taken on a whim by their rulers. They are not allowed to leave, or there are violent repercussions.

A typical communist state. And slavery.

What is unique with those criteria?
Title is inaccurate. The only thing new here is the press release stating the # of records compromised. This doesn't really constitute "further" breach.
EMVCo payment tokenization is more secure and more private than Google Wallet. With Google Wallet, two people know your card number and purchase history: Google and your issuer. With EMVCo tokenization, just your issuer knows your card number and purchase history.

It's better. It's the future.

"If you are expecting tokens to replace credit card numbers all the way to the issuing bank, you are sorely mistaken. The lookup happens much earlier than that."

I disagree. Care to explain?
For about three years I was running 4-5 miles three times a week (except for approximately two months in the winter), and I always found it quite boring. Challenging, yes, and sometimes rewarding, but still quite boring.
"Sorry, education reformers, it’s still memorization and repetition we need."
This is very true. For example, doing the advanced engineering calculus can often boil down to manipulating polynomial, which are still arithmetic. A person with "understanding" but no fluency in basic arithmetic is setup to fail.

No, more likely just the image of the standard build. I don't have source for most of the software on my Windows machine, for example. while I don't know what sort of platform they use at JPM, if its anything like bespoke platforms I've seen at other financial institutions such as Merill Lynch, end users only have binaries.

If they actually have all the source code that would be a pretty horrendous risk factor (not that my scenario is so great). We're getting into too-big-to-fail territory here; I really wonder if it's time regulators went beyond swingeing fines and actually revoked a bank's charter.
:). Actually am very much interested in getting the customized News feeds into my mailbox or Reader. I have even tried some third party webtools like page2rss.com and feed43.com to scrap pages with particular "keywords" and create the feed. But due to my lack of Technical knowledge I end up wasting time. I still dearly want something that works.
Excellent point.

The byproduct of this "movement" is that SF and Oakland will lead the nation in automated burger machine implementation and Big Mac prices. Just give it a couple of years.

Do you really think sending a few scapegoats to prison will solve anything? The problems are systemic. Some faces may change but the agencies remain organized and financed the same way.

The story mentions David Kahn's "monumental history of cryptology". The book is The Codebreakers,[1] and IMO is definitely worth reading. It's quite long, perhaps too detailed for most people. But it's filled with little gems. E.g. did you know that Thomas Jefferson invented the "wheel cypher",[2] a very elegant and practical device used in secret communication?

This sounds like exactly what my highschool track coach used to say about [long distance] running.

As a sprinter only for conditioning practice for competitive fencing, I don't know that I agree completely. It is true that in fencing, you have to condition yourself to ignore pain (being stabbed kinda sucks). Also maybe sprinting/fencing isn't as good exercise as long distance running, I have no idea.

It is really fun, and you do sweat a lot.
We keep hearing that, but when the FCC and similar entities have actually tested it they've found it not to be the case. It's not the 1930s anymore.

Assuming the author's convictions are true, how would one apply a 'rote learning' technique to programming?

I believe in repetition, but, personally haven't been able to find a useful way of implementing it to become a top-notch programmer.

Why? Well, take calculus. Buy a book, pound problems. Do 1,000 derivatives. Next chapter. 1,000 integrals.

Is there a similar "exercise" for programming?
The only way to mitigate against these attacks is to treat the USB bus the same way we treat the network:
- Communication with devices should only occur once they have been identified & authenticated
- Authenticated devices can only send type specific messages and can't change type without re-authentication.
- Data should be written as encrypted volumes to storage devices. (You should be doing this anyway.)

This is more like how bluetooth works. However that still leaves significant problems for HIDs. The only solution I see is remote attestation and securing the comms channel with encryption.

Even if USB is patched like this it doesn't solve the problem of having un-trusted peripherals or appliances. For example, would you trust that the signed firmware for a USB scanner is actually secure? It is quite easy for a scanner driver to be subject to a buffer overflow caused by data from the scanner. Scanner embedded malware could be triggered by scanning a specific form, or anywhere it sees interesting text, like 'SECRET' headers on a page. Networked scanner/photocopier/printers are even worse because they return PDF documents and are serviced by outsiders, and anything on the network can often send them a PDF to execute. I've managed to crash my printer many times by sending large/complex PDF/postscript/PCL5.
I found it odd that the author seems to think that empathy for the individual is somehow at odds with caring for the many, instead of being closely correlated. As if removing empathy would somehow get people to care more about each other, rather than less.

WhatTheFont is a pretty good tool but it only works well when there's high contrast. Black on white, or white on black is the only way to get it to work well.

If you geek out on fonts, then you'll find the iOS app pretty fun. It's not perfect, but you'll impress all your designer friends if they aren't familiar with it. http://bit.ly/1vBCCsL

I love linux as much as the next guy, especially on the server, but definitely not as my daily driver. It's too unpolished, especially UI/UX wise.

I'm hoping the year of the linux desktop will come eventually however.
I was taking fish oil supplements daily until my Nephrologist suggested I don't. He pointed to some recent proper clinical trials that showed it not doing much of anything:

http://www.berkeleywellness.com/supplements/other-supplement...

In addition to that, if you're taking liquid supplements (like gel caps, which I was), my doc told me that there is risk that it has oxidized and can actually cause cardiovascular damage. After that and a weekend of reading up on the internet, I decided to stop taking any fish oil supplements.

Do the research yourself and make an educated guess.
"just your issuer knows your card number and purchase history."

If this was true, i'd agree. But it's not, AFAIK.

"I disagree. Care to explain?"

Nothing in the spec that i have seen requires that it be used all the way to the issuing bank.

In fact, here is one actual implementation:
http://www.firstdata.com/downloads/thought-leadership/EMV-En...

Now look at figure 2 on page 8, and you can see ... It's not the issuer doing the tokenization or the PAN lookup, firstdata is doing it (in this case), just as Google is doing it in the Wallet case.
Firstdata sells an approved apple pay solution.

It happens that Apple does not provide payment processing services, and is thus not doing it. That of course, does not change how many parties see your card number :)

Now, maybe there are issuers doing the tokenization, storage, and lookup themselves. But it's not required.

The actual spec leaves these functions to an "Agent" (not an issuer) and defines an Agent as "An entity appointed by the Card Issuer to perform
specific functions on behalf of the Card Issuer. Some
examples of these functions include card processing,
Cardholder verification using the 3-D Secure
protocol, and Token Service"

There is also nothing that assumes they do not appoint multiple agents (and in fact, specifically forsees this happening), etc.

Love to see something that says otherwise, but i can't find it.

It turns off hybrid sleep (where memory is written to disk when sleeping so it could eventually resume even if the battery died), as well as automatic sleep (when the lid is open). These are things I turn off 100% of the time on all of my machines.

I'm a bit dubious about the display dimming thing - I'll probably leave that on in my fork of this script.

As for Automatic Termination, I need to read more about that before I turn it _on_, not before I turn it off. :)
SpaceX is a perfect example though. First off, of course a company like SpaceX requires a lot of money to do anything, that's the nature of a company that needs to produce and operate manufactured goods, there isn't the same cost floor as with digital goods (which is now practically zero).

More importantly, the goal of SpaceX is fundamentally the colonization of Mars, and the idealized method to do that is a fully reusable interplanetary spacecraft. If SpaceX had tried to build that and only that from their start they would have rapidly ran out of money, even $100 million, and had little to show for it. Instead they bootstrapped their way toward acquiring the capability to design, build, and operate such things while also building a corporation capable of funding such operations. Initially they built a small orbital launch vehicle, just barely at the limit of market feasibility, using very conventional technologies and very conventional designs, applying innovation peace-meal where it made sense. Even then it took them several tries to get a launch vehicle that worked, and it wasn't even very competitive in the launch market. But it proved that SpaceX was capable of building launch vehicles, which enabled them to get grants and contracts to build a launch vehicle that was.

It wasn't a demo or a prototype, the Falcon 1 was a fully functional "MVP". And it wasn't investment funding that got them to the next stage, it was effectively pre-orders for the next generation of their product. Then you look at what they've done since, they've built iteratively, advancing toward their goal, but even now they still haven't gotten everything into place that they need. They're still working on partial reusability, still working on manned spacecraft, still working on clustered core staging, and so on. But even so they have viable products that are bringing in a lot of revenue, with new products coming online soon that will bring in even more revenue. They are still several iterations and many years away from their goal but by the time they get there they'll have the expertise, experience, and revenue to actually make it happen.

As with most endeavors, it's almost always easier and better to get to a big goal iteratively. That's how you build skill, it enables you to sell your earlier iterations to maintain revenue to keep your company alive, and each iteration provides lessons which inform the next and can reshape the grand idea you once had.
I was hoping to be able to frame a 51" wide panorama I have...but I was disappointed.
But labor does not scale linearly with bandwidth. It takes a lot of labor to dig a trench for a cable, but if you use fiber instead of copper you get much higher bandwidth for that same labor.

How Lufthansa Cares for Passengers’ Medical Needs
This is a surprisingly good post. The title made me think it was going to be yet another startup flounder crowing, but it's actually a pretty thoughtful critique of the whole Techstars Chicago program.

The "100+k for 7-11% equity" analysis is particularly damning.

I think they're taking the "Techstars accepts 1% of applications" thing much too seriously. Presumably, only a tiny fraction of the inquiries they get are from serious teams.

Also: I've been to 1871 a couple times, and I got exactly the same vibe these people got. I know some people with solid companies working out of there, but the space is practically the archetype of the "startup playing house" idea Paul Graham likes to write about. It's particularly sad because it's located in Chicago, where it's easy to get an inexpensive office lease.

Later: the equity math is apparently not as damning as it sounds, or, perhaps, not damning at all.

Exactly people try to train for distance in zone 4. Torturing themselves for zero gain.
Zone 2 in many training models is typically called the "endurance" zone. It represents the level of effort where you could do something for hours at a time. It is typically defined in terms of heart rate (beats per minute), running pace (minutes / distance), swimming pace (minutes / distance), or cycling power (watts). Usually you'll see something between five and seven zones defined, ranging from an active recovery effort (zone 1) all the way up to a zone for training anaerobic strength.
The article wasn't pointless at all. He's saying that a conceptual understanding is important, but so are things like flashcards. I know growing up my ability to quickly do simple math and recognizing patterns quickly always helped me speed along quickly.
Project Euler. Also, the whole 'kata' movement, where you write and rewrite relatively brief solutions to problems until you master them.
I ran cross country in high school, running for about an hour 4 to 6 times a week. Extremely boring, pretty much only did it because my parents forced me to do _a_ sport and I didn't want my suckage to hurt a team (I skipped a few grades, and not inflicting this on others was a pretty good diplomatic move).
It's just, look at all this fighting you have to do to get linux tools on your mac. It's not a hacker OS by default, it's a pretty, user-friendly OS by default, and you can use homebrew and these other tools to replicate many of the features you'd get on the actual hacker OS: linux. Unless you're developing for Mac, I just don't get why it's so popular with developers.

(OK, that's not true, I get it. It's very cool looking. But I'd think more developers would get past that and see how hard they're working to turn their cool looking OS into a poor linux imitation).
This is a bad thing for a lot of reasons. The biggest one is that Synergy is going to get the bad press when users Google "free synergy download" and download the first random binary they come across, which could contain anything. Those users are going to complain "Synergy gave me a virus" or "the installer crashes" or whatever else and hurt the reputation of the project. This is regardless of the fact that they didn't download the official Synergy binary.

The second is that this will hurt the discoverability of the software. There's no way to try it now and see what it does and PC users are used to having that ability. Throwing up a paywall is going to strangle the community, IMO.

Third, you've now stranded anybody who downloaded it free from getting updates. What if there's a security flaw? Charging people $5 for what will be perceived as fixing bugs in the software is going to create a lot of grouchy users, I imagine.

An additional one is that the idea of "we're charging because we can" is something that I think has bad optics; using an FSF essay as your primary justification for charging for "free" software is going to rub several people the wrong way. A low (percentage) donation rate doesn't translate to a low amount of income, and I find it disingenuous to try to conflate those numbers.

SSHARK – DNS-based expiration and revocation of SSH client keys
This is exactly backwards. No politician cares about revenue-producing parts of the government; those things take care of themselves. They care about the really spendy parts, preferably those that spend all that money in a few big opaque unauditable chunks. Like the military, or espionage. That way, they know they'll have the leverage they need to make sure large chunks of those chunks eventually get back to them or their PACs.

That's [another, besides GP's] reason why Congress would never choose to chastise NSA.
That whitepaper is from 2012. The tokenization there is for merchants to be able to keep a token on file for a customer instead of keeping a card on file. It's like getting a Braintree or Stripe token to use for payments, but instead, you're getting a First Data token.

Pain isn't fun, that's all I'm saying. When I said you need to learn to love it, all I meant was that you need to condition yourself against the pain. If you didn't need to do that, all the better to you. The main point is, it's not the type of fun that requires zero effort or zero pain; and exercise is definitely not boring.

Your JavaDocs miss a rather important information that Java SDK needs to be switched from 1.6 to at least 1.7 (in Android Studio, under Project Settings) for the thing to work! Otherwise it can't be run:

I once worked for Pyxis Mobile (now Verivo Inc.) which touted a platform which would provide you with native iOS, Android, and BlackBerry (years ago..) apps, which would build themselves at run time based on a database/app meta data. This allowed apps to completely change themselves without a resubmission, while being in-line with Apple's guidelines, and technically be purely native. Between lazy loading and the fact that the interfaces were simple, the system worked well. Point being - I've thought a lot about and seen the result of the "avoid app store submission" value proposition.

After all these years, I find the aforementioned value proposition...not that valuable. In my experience it's fine to only be able to push iOS updates on something like a once/week cadence. Of course on Android, you can push daily if you really want to.

Ultimately, my thought is that with all of the complications and hard work required to create and maintain a mobile app, this is a tiny piece, and should play little into your decision when choosing to develope natively vs. w/ Meteor/phonegap vs. something else. Of course, the geek in me and the Android fanboy in me loves skirting Apple's "guidelines". :)
