> I speak well and make a great first impression, honestly. I have always understood how important that is.

You say and believe that, obviously. But do you have independent and (above all) disinterested corroboration?

(I think the experience you relate in the last paragraph might be a symptom of increasing pressure being put on the hiring part of HR and them, thus, being reluctant to reject candidates earlier.)
Most developers don't care as long as it's not intrusively impeding on them. And only google services at least Atom uses I think is Google analytics. It's not like it's snooping on your member details. I think these editors should give the user ability to opt out from getting tracked though.
Yeah I do about 10 or 15 minutes with the headspace app. It's not a lot of time but it's quite nice and even that little bit of time is very impactful.
Works pretty good! I really like the symbolic-link-preview.
But I think it would be better when you just add -l when you enter things like -h, -T, -b, ... or allow an option for that.
This kinda again confirms you should stick to fruit and vegetable based diet. Although sensationalist title would make you want to think different.
Well, yeah, maybe, but I've never felt like missing something from ls…
That was my initial reaction as well when I first heard about such an event. What's the point in segregating when there is already a segregation? But then I thought why even bother in which context an event with good intentions is held and as someone who favors utilitarianism I felt a little stupid that this wasn't my initial thought. From what I've heard these kind of events do have success, and the main motivation is, I guess, to create opportunities where women don't feel like a minority and where they can be role models for each other and people outside of tech. It's basically an attempt to break through the conjectured circular problem that women in tech are a minority because they are a minority.

I agree, I am going to be stuck on this site a bit today from what I can tell.
Another thing I've noticed - the 1911 is produced by a wide range of manufacturers. The boutique brands can be a bit finicky and the buyers are often tinkerers, which can give a pistol neophyte a skewed perception of the design.
The commands I give are fine.

The one Alex gives in his comment mounts root into a container, something I am not saying at all or even close doing at all. No one should ever mount root in a container, its common sense.
No one has ever said "that's incredible for a 40 year old".

Only the young get benefit from this equation. I would bet that your achievements would not be considered great by someone who uses this equation, no matter how great they are.

The somewhat misquoted phrase that's attributed to the Alibaba CEO describes the spirit of people who use this type of thinking better than my equation will:

"If you're not rich at 35, you deserve it!"
Thanks for the answer. I'll look into Mac OS X cron's ability to send output.

But my main answer was in finding an SMTP service that can send emails. In your example, don't you have to log in to smtp.server.name? If so, don't you need to put a password somewhere in that tcl script?
The animations are really neat but I was thinking the same thing. It's science porn with emphasis on porn. But I don't think they're meant to be educational - "just" impressive.
I would not joy until exa is tried over a fs with more than a million files. Huge file numbers are a thing now and it is becoming to be an engineering challenge.
How do you pick the colours? The website uses a dark background. If I ran this tool on my terminal (with a white background), would the colours still be readable?
Agreed. For the benefit of those who don't know, blowback and locked breached operations are the two primary operating methods of semi-auto pistol actions. In a blowback action, the recoil spring and mass of slide is sufficient to keep the breech closed until after the bullet as left the barrel. It's important to wait for the bullet to leave, so that pressure can sufficiently decrease, you else you might get all sorts of nasty stuff - like the casing bursting and possibly damaging the weapon and/or the shooter.

Blowback is appropriate for lower power rounds. As power increases, the mass of slide and stiffness of spring must increase, and at some point may become impractical. So for locked breech actions, some other mechanism is used to lock the breech closed until after the bullet as left the barrel.

In the case of the 1911, is the combination of the locking lugs and and the pivoting link. The locking lugs lock the barrel into the slide, so that when fired the barrel and slide initially travel together rearwards. The pivoting link (that thing behind the recoil spring) allows the entire barrel to drop down as it travels backwards. As it drops, the lugs disengage with the slide, allowing the slide the continue to the rear and open the breech. All of this is calculated so that the pressure is safe when this occurs.

There are a variety of ways to do locked breech. The 1911's action (tilting barrel) is particularly influential.

I said "the vast majority", not all people.

Also, while it's true that laws can be simple and to-the-point in some places, I doubt you can really say that "law must be at least as complex as its the subject matter" is an unreasonable generalisation on the whole.
I also found Nilas: https://www.nilas.com/

It's not an SMTP server, but translates between REST calls and SMTP/IMAP commands (as far as I understand). So they store my Google credentials on their server, I keep an API key in cleartext, and use their infrastructure to both send and look at e-mails..

Anybody has experience with this?
There's a lot of interesting research on "judging character". I particularly recall reading in "Thinking, Fast and Slow" (Kahneman) that subjective judgement was consistently worse than even relatively arbitrary objective judgements. I believe this study was conducted in army recruitment and so obviously may not be universal. Very thought-provoking notetheless.

EDIT: ... that's not to cast any aspersions on any particular people involved here, I'm just trying to make a general point that "intuition" or "judgment" may not actually be as good as we think they are.
Or you could do exactly the same thing from your Android phone, provided you've rooted it. Installing Cyanogenmod makes it even easier (you won't need to download an app; the wifi access point is right in the settings), but isn't required.
No, because they predicted measurements that were wrong.
I'll be honest, this is one of the reasons I use pre-paid (StraightTalk). It automatically deducts $50/mo., so it's just as convenient as a contract, but I know I can't be overbilled, because there is no bill. Only difference is, you pay at the start of the month instead of the end.

Just the peace of mind, knowing that crazy charges can't happen because you have your phone on while abroad, is worth it.
Not tried yet. Wonder if it's got the option to display the size of directories. On the screenshots, the directories are shown with '-' just like the case with the ls.
And to claim there's a risk of getting killed

Not to mention the idea that the presence of 2,000 bystanders offered absolutely no protection- because they were all white & male. Like, what, they would just stand there and watch her be murdered because she's a black woman?
Show HN: 3D Printers are expensive, so we're renting them
Thanks! Years ago I wrote a wrapper for ls that just added colours and did highlighting - but not only was it much slower, I couldn't do things like preview a symlink's path because that information wasn't available in ls's output. So exa was born.

And as for automatically adding --long when you use --tree or similar: this is something I've hummed and haahed about, and I'm still not confident that I've done it the best way, so I'm open to suggestions here. It seems that most tools just seem to ignore it if you pass in two conflicting options, or redundant options, and personally I'd much rather have the user always give correct behaviour than potentially get it wrong without knowing. But I'll just have to see how people end up using it.
Here's way too much information on it, by Ian McCullough from Forgotten Weapons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3zQb3KZpNM

> ultimately it's a image generation library, why this thing needs any tests

So you can be confident that it generates correct images, even three years from now when you've mostly forgotten about it but you dip back in just to add a quick feature without thinking about it very much -- or, for that matter, when someone submits a pull request, and you want to make sure it doesn't break anything.
What did Alex say that hinges on you consciously mounting root into a container? Either you've given the unprivileged host user access to the Docker socket (implicitly giving permission to run any container, which enables a hostile to mount root inside a container) or you're running as the host's root user. This is, by my lights, an anti-sandbox--there's separation of file system (though not really any security not offered by the file system) at the cost of major privilege escalation and the kind of false empowerment that leads people to do dumb, risky things. And it really bears very little resemblance to the Apple sandboxing system to which you are attempting to equate it.

(EDIT: And the Dockerfiles are running the applications inside as root. As mentioned elsewhere, Docker doesn't currently use user namespaces, so an RCE in Google Chrome has just been upgraded to a root RCE because of this. Feeling safe?)

I generally don't subscribe to a particularly absolutist view of the world, but this is a real bad thing and I pretty strongly feel that somebody who works on Docker not explaining the ramifications of this misuse of the technology is pretty irresponsible.
This is almost very useful, but it's missing two features:
1. I want to index my passive income to inflation, meaning drawing down from principal if necessary; so you'll need to know my assumption rate for inflation and life expectancy.
2. My investment return rate will change (since I'll have a lower risk tolerance) when I reach my goal.
Do you mean recursing into a directory and summing the file sizes of its contents? exa doesn't do this, sorry, but it's something I've been thinking of adding.

ls actually displays the 'file size' of the directory, which I've left out, as that number has never benefitted me, ever.
You can likely just get the raw data from your drives without actually keeping anything executable. Text files and images are fine, but I'm sure there are some formats that you'd have to be extra-careful about.
Wiki is pretty empty. Is this built on open standards? Can it control hardware that uses MQTT and CoAP? How does it compare with OpenHAB?
I would say it doesn't even do that, given that you're having to give root-level access to an unprivileged user to do it.
if you're a student, consider GSoC: https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015 there you can find existing OSS projects with specific needs outlined, although folks are always in the mood for new ideas, too, if you articulate them well.

if you're not a student, simply look at existing OSS projects that you like and know and look at their outstanding features or needs, or even better identify something like documentation that needs help. documentation requires that you understand the code and the system, and how to present that to the user, but is a bit lower barrier than producing that code. it's a great entry into OSS as you learn to code. submit some changes to the documentation - e.g. a github pull request - and that's a great thing to see. always better than "hey your docs are weak" or "may i work on the docs?" just do it, make some proposals, and begin working with people.

website changes are also nice - e.g. HTML cleanups, CSS cleanups, or even site features. same model, submit changes to the code repository.

hope this helps.
It uses the colours you pick in your terminal. I made the website dark because I like that colour scheme, and it's what I look at all day, so copying it for the website was a natural fit :)

A few of the filetypes use colours in the 256-colour range, but these should work well too - the grey colour you see for non-existent '-' table cells in the columns view is the exact middle grey value (colour #244) because it's the only one that's guaranteed to work with light-backgrounded terminals.

A San Francisco Uber driver is making $200K a year selling jewelry
There's a reason that every advanced legal system for the past two thousand years has involved professional representatives: there is no better alternative.

Similarly, there is a reason many engineering professions have a Professional Engineer licensure. It takes special knowledge to design complex infrastructure, just as it does to understand complex laws.

I've pointed out a necessary tension in the system that gives rise to legal complexity, and you've failed to advance any alternative theory for how it should be addressed.

It's also a pathetically laughable ad hominem to think that I've downvoted anyone, but if you think it bolsters your facile argument by all means assert falsehoods. You do know you can't down vote replies to your own comments, correct?

Lawyers do artificially keep their numbers low, but you both show a profound misunderstanding of the problem, and have seemingly no concept of how this is actually done in practice (law school as graduate rather than undergraduate education, weakening of mens rea requirements, regulations being given full legal force, restricted access to the bar examination, etc.)
Does anyone know what it actually costs a carrier to have you on roaming data? For example is AT&T being charged extra by the Canadian carrier for the data you use?
We work 6 days a week with sabbath off
No fixed hours but try and keep sleep, exercise and weekly update meetings regular. As most people say we either work "all the time" or "not at all". I like it no matter how hard. My partner suffers because the uncertainty eats at him a bit.
We're at that stage where people think we are a) nuts to leave high paying jobs or b) deluded that we can actually do this ourselves... So the family/social support is kind of 50/50 which impacts lifestyle a lot. Example: we get free rent at home and our friends have preordered because I think they worry for us and want it to work.
I noticed I have less tolerance/ time for mates other than my closest friends who know me best and accept that sometimes the only time to chat is via Skype while waiting at an airport.

Overall, and I'm embarrassed to say this but this is the best lifestyle I could ever imagine. To be successful while living free like this feels almost like its unfairly good, though I'm not sure yet if I'll ever experience that.

We try and do volunteer stuff as when you're a founder it's so easy to be self centred. This helps us look outward and be less wingy bitches when the shit hits the fan.

IPv6 includes the convention of allocating a global multicast subnet range which mirrors a global unicast range. This problem is already solved, people just need to use IPv6.

The more I learn about IPv6, the more I love it and realise it could help us all in so many ways. We, as the tech industry, should start pushing the world to IPv6.

> NatureSeal is classed as a processing aid, not an ingredient, so there’s no need to declare it on the label, no obligation to tell consumers that their “fresh” fruit salad is weeks old.

Here's how the FDA defines processing aids [1]:

(ii) Processing aids, which are as follows:

(a) Substances that are added to a food during the
processing of such food but are removed in some
manner from the food before it is packaged in its
finished form.

(b) Substances that are added to a food during
processing, are converted into constituents normally
present in the food, and do not significantly
increase the amount of the constitutents naturally
found in the food.

(c) Substances that are added to a food for their
technical or functional effect in the processing but
are present in the finished food at insignificant
levels and do not have any technical or functional
effect in that food.

I have not seen anything that says that it means to have a "technical or functional effect".

Speaking of food labeling, I just last night noticed something odd at Domino's. Here is what they list on their site as the ingredients in their garlic dipping sauce:

Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Salt, Natural Flavor,
Soy Lecithin, Artificial Flavor, Beta Carotene (Color).

I can't help but notice that their "garlic" dipping sauce has no listed ingredient that has any obvious connection to garlic.

In my experience working for your average corporation or government entity involves normal (and often flexible) hours, and can be as demanding or undemanding as you like. Throw in benefits and it's not the worst way to go.

It does entail taxing the same muscles you'd like to use for your own projects, but at a multiple of what you'd expect to be paid in the other fields mentioned. (And as has been said before, you could always "pay yourself first" by doing your own work before clocking in.)
I spent a few years working on general-purpose security sandboxing for Linux desktop apps (as a master's thesis), and gave up. The problem is that there are a bunch of common-sense things like not giving access to the root filesystem, and a million less common-sense things that also give you the ability to escape the sandbox. It really sucks.

There's X11, as Alex mentioned. If you grant permissions to an app to use the X11 socket, it has the ability to inject keystrokes to any other application in the same X session. If you have a terminal open where you run "sudo", then the app can gain root.

Your gparted example gives the app access to the root partition. This allows it the ability to modify anything on the drive without going through the filesystem's security layer. It can go change root's password, modify setuid binaries, etc. It can then flush the disk cache by reading a lot of something else, ensuring that the next time the kernel wants to check root's password, it won't be cached.

Also, the state of the Linux kernel is such that if an app is running as UID 0 (even within a container), it probably has the ability to exploit some subtlety in the kernel interface to gain root. This is much reduced if you're using user namespaces (which, AIUI, Docker is not yet using), but it's still a risk. It's a huge risk without user namespaces.

If you trust the app, then you don't need an app (security) sandbox, which I think is what Alex is saying: "This is not sandboxing." If you don't trust the app, then Docker will not effectively restrict what the app can do to your system.
Wayland is another, probably simpler, alternative.

One thing, though: Docker itself presents a privilege hole that can't be easily plugged, too. That's a large part of why I've expressed alarm upthread.
Attacking your viewpoint is not ad hominem.

There is nothing mystical about correctly understanding that the law is complex, or knowing that there are legal concepts that form a background to understanding those laws that are not contained in the statutes.

And God help you if you thought defending yourself in a criminal prosecution was a good idea. You're lucky you're not surfing this from a county jail.

Lucky. Nothing more.

AFAIK, breaking out of a Docker container isn't as trivial as the first part of your comment suggests. In particular, a Docker container can't run other Docker commands unless you grant it access with something like "docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock".

Of course, there have been other vulnerabilities in the past allowing containers to get root. And the X11 weakness alone is enough to not treat this as a security layer.

Right, but the fact that such large ecosystems have originated out of these high-level abstractions (on top of Docker you have all the container clustering and orchestration platforms, homegrown PaaS and whatnot) shows that there is indeed something lacking.

What the OP probably meant is that none of these solutions are actually a seamless part of the workflow when using the OS.
Am I the only one who, while I think this is awesome utility and idea, find that unless you are Rust enthusiast, likelihood of using it is very low.
