I'm not sure what's wrong with nagios or zabbix... I use them both in different capacities, and they are good at what they do.

Of course a piecemeal solution is more flexible, but as you said, configuration can be a beast, so many people prefer monolithic systems.

You could equally apply the slippery slope argument to regular medicine.

> If the NHS starts giving out vaccines today they'll be giving out botox in a few years time, right!?

People can already (though perhaps to a lesser extent) have designer bodies, if they can afford it, thanks to modern medicine. Genetic medicine doesn't seem to introduce a fundamentally new problem.
Why do you need push replication?

From my experience with distributed systems push replication will get you in trouble, very soon.

Edit: I was too quick to post this question. An obvious scenario is where the client is behind a firewall. Never mind me. I am an idiot.
> I just switched from Xubuntu to Debian+Xfce and it's nearly identical.

So you went from downstream to upstream and the view was largely the same. Yeah that's expected.

> I think the opening for FreeBSD and everyone else is that with containers and virtualization

FreeBSD has had container based virtualization for 15 years. I know it's the Brittany Spears of the linux dev group ATM, but I doubt it and Docker are as big a thing as it seems now. Container based virtualization is great, but it's not a substitute for a real hypervisor. As more people realize the last fact, the shine will wear off.

Hi, I am creating a indie appstore. I am wondering what is the best type of login system should I use in order to create a good UX. I am thinking of using a passwordless system where a temporary link is sent to your email instead of having a fixed password. Any advice on a good login system?

Concrete Mathematics by Graham,Knuth, Patashnik is (explicitly, even) a mini-TAOCP for much* of the mathematical underpinnings of computer science.

* I say much rather than most or all since it's focused on asymptotics, recurrences, number theory. Modern theoretical Computer Science draws on a much wider variety of mathematical methods.
If you are a bona fide revenue- and profit-machine rock star, IBM makes it rain for you, because you're drenching them in a Biblical deluge. Beyond that, the compensation cliff drops steeply indeed, though it really is no different than many other companies, and arguably substantively better than the people engaging in "share the scraps"-style employment Robert Reich characterized recently. In the darkest weeks of Apple, I've read of worse treatment of employees in some departments. No company is immune to human nature, especially a company under more pressure than it is used to. I've seen better, I've seen worse; IBM gets buckets of ink no matter what it does so all perceptions are magnified, and it takes time to percolate to the reality.

A lot of comments I've read around the Net from RA'd IBM'ers alluded to an enormous executive management push last year to get employees retrained into the CAMS (Cloud, Analytics, Mobile, Security and Social) areas, but that didn't seem to really have much uptake. So I wonder if this RA is a doubling down by the executive team on the focus into CAMS, with the intent that the focus will turn out to be similar to the tectonic turnaround shift Gerstner made to embrace services (the attendant employment losses at the time were bitterly criticized).
Actually it's currently not blocked on the ISPs I've tested, and I know why. The existing order doesn't cover CloudFlare, and much of the blocking was IP-based false route injection, not DNS-based or HTTP-Host:/TLS SNI-based.

If there is no existing censorship infrastructure installed at the respondent ISPs which can fulfil the terms of the existing court order, the applicant may need to go back to court - and it may need a re-hearing, as the order was allowed only on the basis that existing infrastructure could do it. I don't think the Digital Economy Act site blocking provisions made it in, so there's no primary legislation, no case law that I know of (bearing in mind I'm just an interested layperson!), this specific thing was discussed and specifically dropped in Parliament, and the balance of harm has changed.

I don't know if it's a honeypot - the staff are reportedly locked out, and CloudFlare (US) might be as neutral as they can be when it comes to what they reverse-proxy, but The Pirate Bay (real or not) is possibly the most internationally-notorious website in the world; a ruthless test of CloudFlare's legal and technical resilience if it's not FBI. (I certainly wouldn't expect them to hold the line in these circumstances!)

But I can't see what the site itself would really get the FBI/etc. that they can't get by easier means: these are all public torrents and they run no tracker.

Either way, I'm getting popcorn.
I'm 28 now and I have hypogonadisn and have experience using T and other options like clomid. My total T was <120nd/dl. The lab range for this is usually 300-1000ng/dl. I was severely depressed. Moody and very angry. I experience "roid rage" in the opposite of what most people think. When my T is low I am a completely different, awful person. I literally thought I was going to kill myself.

I finally went to the doc. Got the blood work and was put ona low dosage of Testosterone. Enough to get me to the 500ng/dl range. My quality of life improved dramatically and I was the happy and productive person I used to be. I felt like I did in my early 20s instead of like I was approaching 50. Now I have to take clomiphene because the T kills my fertility. Clomid gets my hormones to the 500ng/dl range but I do not feel the same. My brain is "foggy". I'm not as sharp as I was. I'm up and down with my mood. On a higher dosage of clomid I even had experience where my brain just didn't make sane decisions. I rammed a car one time in traffic. I ran over my mailbox backing out of my garage, even though I did this thousands of times before.

Testosterone can be a miracle for some people. It saddens me that it get such a bad rep for being used/abused by athletes.
> Wouldn't a non-FBI owner of Pirate Bay also want to obscure the IP of the server just as much?

Yep.

> I don't really follow this argument.

It's not a piece of evidence in favor of the FBI being involved. It's an explanation for why they would use CloudFlare and/or what they would use CF for.

As I said elsewhere, I don't really buy the arguments. But I don't use TPB either. The only torrent I download are Linux/BSD ISOs. So I'm not going to risk my freedom on not buying arguments. :)
Originally engineering meant something like applied science for maximal profit, or something like "the accountants of the science world", which requires little if any higher math.

A filter / weedout system was required because of too many students, so its turned into something else entirely and now a engineering degree often means nothing other than having passed the weedout math classes. It really shows in some new grads that don't have any actual engineering skills but are really good at calc problems.

excellent remark.
Be very careful. Usually low T has no discernible cause but sometimes it is caused by a (treatable but potentially very serious) cancer of the pituitary called a prolactinoma. Testosterone treatment can mask the symptoms until is too late. See an endocrinologist before embarking on these "over the counter" treatments.
The idea of placebos is to attempt to introduce a "noise floor" of sorts that lets you get an idea for how much of the measured effect is actually caused by what is being measured.

Generally you want a placebo that makes the test subject unable to tell which is the placebo. That will not be the case with just handing people a sugar pill and being honest about what it is. To have an effect of a sugar pill in such a setting you would have to tell people there is a chance the pill is some form of medication intended to produce similar effects.

The problem with that is that if the effects of meditation are just placebo, what you end up measuring is the strength of peoples beliefs about the efficacy of meditation vs. the efficacy of drugs - you're not comparing like with like, and can't rule out additive effects of combining the two (whether or not they're both caused by the placebo effect) either.

And even if it is all placebo, that does not mean it may not be justified to suggest to meditate. In fact, it is a long standing debate of medical ethics whether - and if so when - it might sometimes be justified to utilize placebos as medical treatment, because it can often have real, measurable physical effects on peoples health.

The issue with that is that you'd be lying to a patient, and it might undermine peoples trust in the medical profession. That is not an issue with an off the cuff suggestion to people to meditate from someone not claiming to be a doctor.

Also, I haven't seen anyone here suggest meditating to increase T, but giving an off the cuff remark suggesting meditating to address "psychological worries" people might have 10-20% of the time. Serious psychological issues needs professional treatment, but I took his comment, given the context, the term "worries", and the implication they'd only be there 10-20% of the time to mean general stress and light performance anxieties, in which case meditation either works for you or it doesn't.

If it does, it does not matter if it works because of the placebo effect or not. If it doesn't, then no harm done and you can consider TRT.

The point of his comment seemed to be that most people do not need TRT, but fall in the normal range and should consider other factors first. I'm saying that as someone who will seriously consider TRT when I'm older (I'm turning 40 this year)
That's an interesting point, and perhaps a good argument for not diverting public health resources towards this kind of procedure (I'm sure there are good arguments for the opposite, too).

But there's a big difference between not actively endorsing a procedure like this and making it illegal.
> I don't get that. There was no code issue. The old and new code both worked as intended, it was a deployment and deployment-verification problem.

A code review could raise the issue of repurposing a flag in case they had to revert the deploy. Changing the semantics of a flag is a big no-no anyway, and there are ways to guard against that.

> Yes they did. They staged the new code and tested it. They did a slow deployment also.

But they didn't had a staging environment that matched their live environment, apparently. You want a staging environment that is 1:1.

> They did revert the deploy within the 45 minutes. It made it worse.

If you think reverting a deploy by simply pushing an older version is the same as a contingency plan, think again.
They could be more interested in people uploading stuff, aka posting new torrents. That's done on-site.
This is a good point. Men do more dangerous jobs, are much more likely to be murdered, do riskier behavior, and commit suicide more often.

And that assumption is wrong. You don't need any knowledge in advanced mathematics to engineer many types of software, that doesn't make the creator less of a Software Engineer.

Being an engineer means using technology, science, mathematics to solve problems. Well in many cases you don't need math to solve these problems. The word itself as no root in math either, it's based on latin for devise/contrive, sure it was used for builders at first, where math was important, but context changes.

Also Software Engineer is wide and reaching, a 3D GFX Software Engineer will need some heavy mathematics to do his job and do it well, a Web Software Engineer not much, but he'll need to know a wide range of other knowledge GFX guy doesn't know (HTTP, network protocols, various languages, server technology, database technology, browser knowledge,...).

It's not about being good at mathematics, it's about knowing as much as possible about the domain of knowledge your role entails, and surprise, not every one of these requires deep math knowledge and understanding.

Your attitude is pure and simple elitism.
WebGL puts in heroic amounts of effort (and many performance compromises) into working around 3D driver bugs and trying to bring about a memory-safe 3D programming environment that still leverages 3D acceleration.

Would you mind expanding on this? I've often thought about going back to school for a math degree, or at least for the core degree courses.

>I've been lifting weights three times a week for the last four years. I still look average, and yes I'm eating and exercising properly.

People always says this. They always eat well and recover properly, but they just can't make any gains. Everyone else can, but they can't and instead of looking at the simplest explanation, they do hurdles to convince themselves they have low test and that's why they're not perfect. Have you been going to a trainer? A nutritionist? Might want to check out other alternatives before taking synthetic hormones. And get off /fit/. This seems like the kind of genius idea that someone on /fit/ came up with.

" I didn't get huge muscles or less body fat with more testosterone (huge myth that I thought would change for me)".

For me I almost always drop 20lbs on T and am much leaner than I am off or on clomid. On clomid I generally gain weight.

"- TRT is a problem if you keep going for too long, because your body just doesn't produce testosterone as it used to, because it expects it from the outside, so below 35 or rather below 40 year olds: don't sign up for this too quickly."

You can counteract this by taking ancillaries while on T. There are drugs that can restore the LH and FSH that get suppressed by testosterone but this is a valid concern. 100mg of T per week made me basically infertile but clomid brought me back to normal after a few weeks.

Diet and nutrition is very important if you want to keep optimum T levels. This forum post, not written by anyone in the medical field, has a pretty list of possible causes outside of supplementing with T. http://tnation.t-nation.com/free_online_forum/sports_trainin...

originally a die-hard math major and now, hacking and dealing with hackers, I have and to question the foundations of my own subjects. I have come to some tentative conclusions:

computer science is computer program, when you abstract away all context so it is just a bunch of symbols

statistics is mathematics applied to the "real world" data, and the art of turning it into form suitable for computer.

Actually, from Lao Tzu's "Art of War", he put's it this way:

In respect of military method,
firstly, Measurement;
secondly, Estimation of quantity;
thirdly, Calculation;
fourthly, Balancing of chances;
fifthly, Victory.

"violence and intimidation against British soldiers"

Read that line again - I don't consider actions (leading to or during a full scale conflict) against opposing soldiers as terrorism in the "modern sense" of the word.

Yes war is terror, terrorizing and many invading armies throughout history have used "terror" as part of their strategy.

I feel as though we are drifting too far from useful discussion - I will disengage with respect.

I am planning on doing the same. Development of Mozilla Persona (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/persona/) has continued, despite Mozilla's lack of funded developers. I looked at it a year ago and the list of open bugs was a bit scary. But it looks much better now.

OAuth 2 is a mess. I would not try to use it without a good library. Thankfully, major websites are moving away from it and onto proprietary APIs that are much cleaner. But nowadays all Facebook really wants to give you is an id that is specific to your app. To get an email address, you have to get permission from Facebook first. Even then, it is not guaranteed that the end user will give it to you. They could have registered using their phone, for example. Having an email address is obviously very valuable.

Stripe payments require an email address. I'm sure other billing systems do, too. So an option is to just grab it when they pay for it. But you still need an email authentication system like Persona on top.

If there are other easy to use systems (for end users and developers) out there like Persona, I would love to hear about them, too.
I'm thinking of Mapscript bindings that allows to interact with Mapserver. They generate biding for several languages through Swig.

Some projects uses Swig precisely because of that characteristic. Project with "low bandwidth" for whom maintaining different binding generator for every language they support would be painful.

In my case, I could probably hack a minimal cffi binding. But solving the problem at the root would be a better solution for everyone.

Swig already use some form of cffi for Common Lisp apparently so maybe python-cffi support could be derived from that. I don't know for sure, just thinking out loud.

The original poster had High T levels to start with. Maybe he didn't notice much of a change. I noticed a significant change going from <120ng/dl to 500ng/dl (still less than OP). I always drop weight when I am on T and get much leaner without changing anything else. Well it does make it easier to work out and diet but even without any changes it makes a big difference. Each time I go off and onto something else like clomiphene I gain 20-30lbs that is not lean at all.
