> Microsoft didn't like that, because it allowed booting from a floppy, bypassing NT's security restrictions, and resetting the administrator password, copying, or modifying files.

This sounds nonsensical, like folk history. You can already create a boot disk to do this using all Microsoft tools: Assuming the volume is not BitLocker'd it's pretty simple to do all of this stuff with WinPE [1], including the version that shipped in 2006, or with a Windows setup DVD. Or you could simply move the drive to a machine where you are an admin.

I am pretty sure they bought winternals because they wanted to hire MarkRuss.

"I think both the duct tape engineer and his opposite are both extremes to be avoided most of the time." Very true! Everything in moderation.

My first job in software development was addng features or fixing bugs in Drupal sites built by people who had left the company. These were fantastic engineers, but I pulled my hair out every day and fantasized about unit tests, documentation, or even a clue about what was going to happen next.

Even with unit tests today, I still make mistakes -- sometimes big ones. But I also recognize that for software edifices to survive, you have leave a solid foundation for others (or your future self) to build on. Too much engineering and there's company left to employ you. Too little and the product might ship but it doesn't work.

That site is strange - they have a big box saying that no medical or credit card data was compromised, then buried in the body text we find out that "These attackers gained unauthorized access to Anthem’s IT system and have obtained personal information from our current and former members such as their names, birthdays, medical IDs/social security numbers, street addresses, email addresses and employment information, including income data. "

CC numbers are far less important than any of those identifiers - unlike your SSN or address, they're easy to change. Someone with all that info can just apply for their own CC or loan in your name...

My response to you would be "Why not?" "What do you have to lose?" "You never know until you try". The fact that they have accepted solo founders should be a reason in of itself to apply because there's a chance and I don't know about you but as a solo founder myself that chance is completely worth it. Even without acceptance there is so much to be learned from this process.

That has a strange bias then for people that are at trivial risk of having their life go up in flames. Howard Hughes, for instance, used hundreds of mg of morphine equivalent a day for decades. But being rich beyond belief, it's not like he'd ever encounter issues with supply. But most people, if told of such levels of use, would consider that an "addiction". It'd certainly be a strong physical dependence.

Show HN: Beatrix 2.0, social media for business made friendly
For all the naysayers, I think you're right to be disappointed that things weren't done better. It'll drive you to become a better engineer and spend a little (but hopefully not too much) time building things when it's your turn. Also, don't grumble too loudly -- you still have a job :-)
Hi all, it's been a year since I launched Beatrix 1.0 and we just pushed a major new update!

Full details here:
https://beatrixapp.com/blog/say-hello-to-beatrix-2.html

It's been a long slog, competing against great products like Buffer and Hootsuite, but we are determined to come out the other side :)

This year we will most likely be diversifying from pure social media, too. Beatrix 2.0 is the foundation for that.

Let me know what you think! would be interested to hear from other bootstrappers building products that compete with large incumbents.

Yes, I was always looking for something like ART to be presented, given the sore state of Dalvik, and still cannot use it.

Also I don't have any hope for them to say anything about Java 8, treating NDK users (like myself) as first class citizens or any other alternative language. Specially given their attitude at Android Developers Fireside last year.

So iOS has Objective-C, C, C++, Swift, Objective-C++, JavaScript with access to the whole platform. IDE supports all languages.

WP gives me Javascript, C++, C++/CX, C#, VB.NET, F# with access to the whole platform. IDE supports all languages.

With Android, Java 6, partial Java 7, limited C and C++ with exposure to some Android and POSIX APIs. Studio only supports Java, even Eclipse NDK is kind of broken.

No support for Renderscript or GL shaders.

I was told by Andrew Tanenbaum some time ago that Minix has had this kind of feature for a number of years now.
NTFSDOS was released in the late '90s, Microsoft acquihired Russinovich in 2006. That program wasn't any more of a factor than all the other wonderful utilities he'd developed over the years. In fact, if you're looking for something Russinovich was forced to retire right after acquisition, you really should mention NewSID.exe, which was really shut down hard while in ascendance (as virtualization became commonplace).

I think MS just wanted to hire one of the best Windows hackers of all time, and they pounced as soon as they got a window of opportunity for whatever reason. Everything else was a bonus.
5KPlayer – Free AirPlay Receiver/Sender to Streaming Video and Music
Since I moved into a lead role (where I still do day to day coding but don't do as much as my reports), a good rule of thumb for me has been that if I can't track down the offending line of code within half an hour based on a stack trace coming in from a significant portion of end users, someone has overarchitected something.

Figuring out when something is too simple is trickier, but it tends to be pretty obvious because a ton of bugs come in that are easy to locate.

Over the past few years, I've decided that as a general rule I prefer engineers that under-architect to those that take it too far, because the damage is far easier to mitigate...

The original KSplice project was actually fully open source, funded by a Dutch charity called NLnet that funds lots of interesting projects like that. I've been running it ever since.

After this was all done the team got acquihired by Oracle. I was actually amazed that the team was allowed to keep the service up for some non-Oracle distro's.

But very happy to see a broader adoption of this kind of technology, it is essential for all these unmanned systems out there in the cloud that they can be patched whilst running.

a hundred times this. Technical debt is painful on all levels. It makes things falling apart more likely, it makes refactoring more painful, and it adds cognitive load.

The argument that you can absorb technical debt only really works if you plan on an aquihire to save yourself, because if not it's very likely you'll have to clean it up (and you'll have paid a decent amount of interest on it).

It's not like good code and code that's easy to write are two ends of a line.

In my experience kids can have quite the opposite effect - I got a lot more ambitious when the first one arrived, and I've almost doubled my salary since then (a bit more than four years).

There is no option for anything else on Windows, though. The shell isn't anywhere near as prevalent and you have no other go-to method at all. The whole ecosystem is point & click, which means you'll get nothing but headaches from trying to use a more UNIX-style toolchain in lieu of an IDE.

It's not exactly a point for IDEs when, even if you wanted to, it'd be a hassle to try to integrate another type of workflow into an OS that clearly is not made for it.

Ask HN: Should I have multiple employers file H-1B petitions for me?
I have offers from 2 distinct companies, A and B, in the United States. I recently became aware that it is perfectly legal for different employers to each file an H-1B petition for me. Both A and B are aware of the whole situation and are willing to go ahead with the visa process, so I'll only have to make a decision between the two if both petitions get through. So far so good.

However, based on an article on murthy.com [1] (quoted below), it doesn't seem like a very good idea to file multiple petitions, even via separate employers, this year.

> For the fiscal year 2015 (FY15) H1B lottery, the USCIS has been issuing notices of intent to deny (NOIDs) when virtually identical petitions have been filed for the same beneficiary by two or more potentially related companies.

> The USCIS is suspicious of cases in which filings for the same person share key details. Commonly identified factors typically include end-clients with the same identity, and location and job descriptions that are identical or virtually identical. The USCIS also points to similarities in supporting documents.

> The NOIDs request proof that the petitioning companies are not related. This can be evidenced by various documents that demonstrate corporate existence, structure, and ownership. There must be more than one distinct job opportunity, rather than simply an effort to have a backup plan in the event that one employer's H1B petition is not selected in the lottery.

Thanks for the reply!

I do understand it - you stick your own SIM card to a GSM modem and use this application to send messages via it.

I'm just contemplating that most providers would not allow endless one-way text messaging. Unless you have some sort of a business plan that allows this sort of thing.

Just looking at some use cases where this could replace Twilio/Nexmo but it seems like you would just get blocked by the carrier if you tried to send quite a handful of text messages.

P.S. I have nothing against the app and I think it's wonderful and I just MIGHT use it sometime if I'll need to send messages inside my own country. And I'll probably get blocked but it might just be worth it as I could just swap SIM cards as I could get 3000SMS for about 2.5 euros. But that's some black stuff happening in my mind now!
Offline docs for Twitter Bootstrap v3.3.2
(OP here. This comment is a continuation of the post body.)

My concerns are as follows:

- Will filing multiple petitions through separate employers increase my chances of getting a visa?

- Does my situation come under the "virtually identical location and job descriptions" scenario, which is apparently a potential reason for denial? What "key details", if shared across the petitions, are potential causes for denial? Both offers are for similar roles, and based in the same city, but the companies themselves are completely separate. However, what concerns me here is the way the article is phrased: "two or more potentially related companies", signalling that even the hint of a connection will lead to a denial with significant probability.

- Are there any down-sides to filing multiple H-1B petitions?

- Assuming I do file multiple applications, how would I explain my intent to USCIS?

- Any other advice / suggestions regarding my specific situation.

At this point, any kind of advice or help would be greatly appreciated. I know I should talk to an actual immigration lawyer, and I'm doing that too. But I wanted to get a general opinion on HN and see if anyone has experienced such a situation before. Thanks!
At first the 38% increase from 25-55 seems absurdly low for the average worker, but I have to remind myself what average is. I recruited for roles in areas where pay for a position starts at $12-15/hr, and don't go much above $20/hr. People get stuck in this range. Similary I've seen accountants stay around the $60k range in some areas throughout their career.

Wish they dug into deeper analysis instead of having fluffy explanation and conclusion. Interesting things to look into would be what makes average increase so low? What are the top 5% doing to get 230% growth, how about those 1% that get 1500% growth?
I guess whoever buys them will get a maintainable code for a change.
If people are using Cassandra already why not just use Titan?

If it's built on top of something you're already maintaining why not. It make sense.

GraphX last I check was in beta, at least last databrick meetup stated so.

GraphX would make sense if you're stack is cassandra + spark.

For me personally, I have time to wait to see if Flink will mature and interop with Cassandra before I invest my time in Spark or Flink (or both if I have the luxury).
They're comparable features. In both cases, a simple but hardened filter is placed in front of some part of the kernel attack surface. Vulnerable processes (e.g. renderers) opt in to these protections so that, in the event of compromise, they're less likely to be vectors for a successful escalation of privilege attack against the kernel syscall interface.
Well, when I grew up, you know what happened? The user realized he was an idiot, fixed the problem himself and was more careful next time.

Part of the reason it's so easy to infect technically illiterate crowd nowadays is that they didn't develop an immunity system - something us who grew up with computers take almost for granted. It doesn't really take that much to become almost completely immune to malware - 90% of it is simple to spot (don't download things from CNET or any other site that has lots of ads, and especially those that try to trick you into clicking them; don't open .exe's you didn't explicitly requested; know what's an .exe; don't open attachments you didn't expect; etc.) - but somehow the society at large doesn't bother. And yet they expect someone else to fix it for them. As the saying goes, "Any fool can use a computer. Many do.".

I understand how we got there. I don't like it, but well, Moloch does what he wants. The thing to remember is, the increased sterility of the ecosystem and all those things done "for Security!" come at the cost of the ability of general-purpose computation. Future systems will tend to be dumbed down to the point they're not general-purpose computers anymore.

I wish, I hope, they'll let us keep PCs as specialized machines, like lathes and mills.

Windows is a proprietary ecosystem where choices are made for the benefit of microsoft's shareholders and nobody else. It is full of compromise. From DRM to hamstrung "student" versions, Windows is not your friend. Microsoft's business practices, specifically the way they market windows on oem machines, are also downright deceptive. I never use windows at home but, because I buy laptops, I actually own many windows licenses. Those "sales" are part of Microsoft's bottom line and are pitched to shareholders as if I am actually using microsoft products.

I have never met anyone who truly likes windows. They tolerate it. They are used to it. But they never say "Yes, I am happy with this new version. The upgrade sure made my life easier!" I'd rather have my wisdom teeth re-installed and re-pulled than be part of another office transitioning from one version of windows to another.

I gave up on windows when, after buying a little netbook, I decided to give it a chance. I plugged in an MS-brand optical mouse and was told that windows needed to connect to the internet to download the driver to run the mouse. That was windows's last breath on any of my personal machines.
