Something like after the parent forks, the child opens a file called "/tmp/log.$$" with its PID in the name as root. If you can guess the PID of the child, you could create a link with that name, pointing at a file of your choice that is owned by root, such as "/etc/passwd". Then, you need to make the child do something predictable to that file, such as ensuring that the user supplied data being logged contains text like "\npwn::0:0::/:/bin/sh\n" giving you a valid password file entry for "pwn" with no password and root privileges.

Of course I didn't. When dealing with real moral issues the question is wholly trivial.

The fact that it includes some numbers that reduce to some other numbers doesn't change that.

Putting numbers into something doesn't make it scientific or objective. It just makes it numerical.

There is a difference, and it's not a small one.
For me, the big win of things like NoScript is that I can block the zillion websites OTHER than the one I'm actually trying to view. This has the upside of making my web browsing amazingly fast because it stops the 50 DNS queries that every page makes.

Forbes.com is mentioned, here's what else is on that web page after enabling forbes.com:

Blacklisted:
doubleclick.net, optimizely.com, bluekai.com, scorecardresearch.com, googletagmanager.com

Other:
forbesimg.com, gigya.com, sail-horizon.com, amazon-adsystem.com, media.net, garble.cloudfront.net, chartbeat.com, mediavoice.com, .............

Oh, and, gee, if it were a static web page, if you do get featured on Reddit, YOUR SERVER WON'T FALL OVER AND DIE accessing a database that doesn't have any comments other than spam anyway.
Hi Paul. I applied last time with a video with the team, however with updated rules (they own less than 10% each) then they're not supposed to be in application video; I started my company many years ago and small team relatively recently joined as relating to the equity. I don't have time to redo an application video, and with a comment on HN from someone at YC during last application process - applying early increased chances of being selected, meaning once startups selected for interview that the application process still remains open - the odds feel negligible. Any thoughts?
I've long joked that the French will single handedly keep the tobacco industry alive.
I'm pretty sure if they add efficacy endpoints to Phase I, it becomes a Phase I/Phase II and the efficacy is for Phase II. The other problem with efficacy in Phase I is that alzheimer's efficacy is not measured over such short time frames.

A lot of the medication at these institutions are bubble packed, so you could donate the last 2 in those cases. Thankfully this is the vast majority of our volume right now. If it's an open bottle it would depend on the type of donor whether it could be re-sealed. For example, a pharmacy could.

+ is no longer a Google Search operator. Quoting a word is.

What query did you do, specifically, and what kind of HTTPS libraries are you looking for?

If I do [ https ] almost all links on the SERP contain the literal string HTTPS.

If I do [ "https" ] every link on the SERP contains the literal string HTTPS.

In both cases, the results are nearly worthless. So, you must be trying something like

[ "https" libraries ]

Again, that returns only moderately relevant results (all the matches contain https literal text, but it's not a nice list of https libraries).

Being more specific is going to guide the engine to understand your intent more clearly. For example
[ "https" programming library for C++ ] finds a nice list of HTTPS libraries, including this link about half-way down (personally, I would prefer that was on top):

C/C++ libraries for HTTP programming - Stack Overflow
stackoverflow.com/questions/.../c-c-libraries-for-http-programming
Sep 15, 2010 - C/C++ libraries for HTTP programming [duplicate] ... What well known C/C++ libraries are out there that could allow one to implement servlets, or at least provide most of the essentials for .... Self contained http/https library ...

Note the search engine noticed the page has https text in it, even though the title does not. The page points at libcurl, which seems like a good answer.

Another detail is that there are both server and client libraries for https, you should probably specify which you want:

[ "https" client library for c++ ]

and in fact, that SERP is pretty great (first two links are both great starting points).
Yea, he was honest! He wasn't hiding in denial. It was one of the better HN links I have read.

I welcome posts like this. What I have read too much of is success/fail stories
that leave out the most important details; number one is daddy gave me the money to start my risky business(that business could be anything). Number two is ripping off someone's idea--blatantly(without any remorse, and continue to justify
their slimy behavior until they die). It amazes me just how selfish/sadistic some people, even family and friends can be
when it comes to money.

I have a successful sister who constantly wonders why her mother and brothers never call--it's beyond pathetic, and she doesn't have a clue to why there's no one left. Actually, she knows, but the denial is thick. We grew up poor, so I know that feeling of desperation, but screwing over people repeatedly--adds up.

I don't know this guy, but at least he was honest. To guy's
who don't have a rich family, or a license to steal; if you
make money--it seems like late 20's through your thirties, hang on to it. Don't throw it away on living like Rapper. It will eventually dry up for so many of us.

I know it's hard. You have hormones that literally shape your view of reality. Those hormones will go down. That woman you are so trying to impress will change. If you have a fear of death, that fear goes down as you age. I'm not giving advise. I just releate to this guy's financial journey.

I recently implemented depth-first iterative deepening in an Artificial Intelligence class project to solve the classic missionaries and cannibals problem [0]. The professor remarked that while there have been some optimizations over the last few decades, using them can be quite messy – to the point where the combination of A* and iterative deepening is still commonly used in the field.

I'm fairly certain that the claim in the introduction – "Unfortunately, current AI texts either fail to mention this
algorithm or refer to it only in the context of two-person game searches" – is no longer true.

From my current textbook (Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach [1]):

"Iterative deepening search (or iterative deepening depth-first search) is a general strategy, often used in combination with depth-first tree search, that finds the best depth limit. It does this by gradually increasing the limit — first 0, then 1, then 2, and so on — until a goal is found... In general, iterative deepening is the preferred uninformed search method when the search space is large and the depth of the solution is not known."

That does seem like a strange example. Random source ports is probably a better example of system wide randomization.

I'm on the fence with this one.

It does make for a massive attack surface with the massive amount of complexity a modern browser brings to the table, however it's also giving us a truly Operating System agnostic world. (I think? Javascript based applications are OS agnostic right?)

The browser may become a universal operating system, where web applications become the norm and it brings an end to the Linux vs Windows vs Mac wars.

Who knows?

This was one of Google's stated motivations for recently changing Pwnium from an in-person event similar to Pwn2Own (and held at the same conference 3/4 times, IIRC) to a more traditional year-round bug bounty.

As an employee you're limited by the quality of the C-suite.

If you swap equity for salary, it's important to understand that you're not gambling on the quality of the product or the idea, but on the quality and integrity of the people you're working for.

You probably won't have enough information to make a good decision about their quality and integrity until you've been working somewhere for a while.

But generally, if one promise doesn't work out, you have good reason to suspect others won't too.

Equity is really just a promise. So you should have a lot of evidence of reliability and integrity before you count on it.
I loved the startup class and sails js lectures.
Looking forward to more in the future.
I would argue that things like markets/arbitrage/HFT actually add value to the world and down the line are important enablers for the startup ecosystem. It's just that finance jobs are fungible to some degree -- just like low/middle level developer jobs after all.

I grew up in Southern Ontario (born in 1990) so I can only speak to my experience in that province.

In my experience, the problem is sheer distance between subscribers. You're too far away for DSL, and there are no cable lines.

This leaves only a few options:

- dial-up
- satellite (stick with dial-up - trust me)
- wireless
- pay to have fiber/cable trenched/run (I wish!)

Wireless has become big in the last 3-5 years as providers have begun to offer their service at a reasonable price. There is still the problem of uneven terrain (sometimes you need a 100' tower to get over all the trees) but it's getting better.

I'd like to know where exactly they focused their attention regarding municipal broadband - I suspect it was in the prairie provinces. Back around 2000-ish, I recall hearing that some level of government was going to put money into "broadband for all" but it never truly came for us. Believe me, we "wanted it" and let people know
This. Try being more specific, but not only with what you are looking for, but also with what you are not looking for.

I didn't realise the situation with throwing out medicines was so bad in the US. For comparison, pharmacies in Australia have always been a place where you would return unused medicine, where it is destroyed (some medicine just cannot be reused), reused or shipped to developing countries (used to be able to send recently-expired medicine that was still effective but I think I read this was no longer the case)
That makes sense. I apologize for coming off as so negative, I really do think it's very clever.

"There's very little difference in overhead between someone making $100k and someone making $150k."

Logically, you would think so, but remember that many benefits scale with salary/seniority. Things like retirement plan matching and vacation accrual rate. Also perks like better offices, parking, "training" in attractive destinations.

AFAIK, technically, ruby 1.9 and later are no longer MRI, but KRI. So, yeah, I would say that technically speaking, refererring to current versions of ruby as "MRI" is not terribly correct.

On the other hand, to tell the "default" ruby apart from jruby and rubinius, one might still refer to it as "MRI". Also, Robert Metcalfe once said something to the effect that "Ethernet cannot die - if something comes along to replace it, it will just be called Ethernet" or something along those lines. Maybe something similar is at work here? (Sloppiness is more likely, though.)

"from the American perspective manifestos are not something we really see anymore"

I decided to have a look at google ngrams for the word manifesto in the American English corpus:

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=manifesto&year...

The clear peaks for 1918 and 1932 are pretty impressive, but after the 1968 everest, the concept nosedives till you get to the oppressively featureless plain starting, amusingly, at 1984.

Now there is platform instead. Which has none of the pesky connotations of promise that manifesto tended to carry.

edit -

British English, on the other hand, still loves the idea, though it has taken a knock in the last ten years.

Our correlating peaks were 1915, 1940 and 1967, but the idea recovered here after 1973 and enjoyed strength during the 80s and 90s, instead of falling off a cliff. - https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=manifesto&year...
Fine, then increase that to $4k/mo (so your Michigander is making $200k vs. SF $250k), which doesn't pan out in my experience but we are still far away from $80k.
I worked on Landsat and Spot data back in the 80s using American (Gould) and Canadian image processing systems. Both came with Fortran source code, so it was very educational.

ATI tried to recruit me for consumer products, but their understanding of image processing was so primitive that we couldn't communicate. All they understood was red-eye removal and edge detection. :)

The various Landsat resolutions are ok for earth sciences, including ground cover, cloud cover and ice studies.

But I think most of the people here would be more interested in Spot or higher resolution data.

An interesting factoid is that one of the earliest Sony CD-ROMs ever burned (1985'ish) had Landsat sample data on it. It was distributed to a few Japanese geoscientists who had an obvious need for mass storage.
I've lived in the bay area, it was more expensive than say SLC, but not incredibly so. Your food, your clothes, much of what you need to live, is actually sourced outside of the area. Starbucks was cheaper than SLC, for some strange reason I can't really understand. Maybe competition?

These days, I visit Seattle and Spokane a lot. Seattle is of course, a lot more expensive than Spokane, or it is supposed to be. But restaurants are much more expensive in Spokane than Seattle. Heck, across the border in Idaho where minimum wage is a lot less than WA, they are even more expensive than Spokane.

I've lived in Switzerland and now live in China. These places are much more expensive in some goods (like cars, clothes, china is cheap in eating out at least). The differentials are much greater than anything you would encounter in the states.

I've been developing on Android since the 1.x days. Garbage collection has and continues to suck on Android.

People should not be so blind to think that better garbage collection is going to appear soon, and that a real world improved garbage collector will magically make all the GC related performance problems go away.

Google has demonstrated over and over that they are extremely slow to improve things in Android (see Java version support, see audio latency, see NDK, see Eclipse/Gradle transition, etc). And when they do finally improve things, it usually is still lacking.

Garbage collection in general is hard to get right. Even in better environments with highly optimized/tuned GCs, it still causes problems. It is unlikely Android is going to leap frog these.
For salaried employees in California, your employer can claim ownership of any IP you create that's related to one of their current or reasonably anticipated products (e.g. _anything_ if you work for a tech borg). There's an exception for things you can prove you were working on before they hired you.

The law is actually designed to product employees (so your ad network employer can't sue you if you work on fitness apps in your spare time), but modern large companies have their fingers in every pie.

One thing that's clear when reading game source code is that they hard code a lot more than I would writing system or application software. That's to be expected given the nature of the beast, but it's still one of the first obvious differences.
The cited "overall" increases are calculated in a senseless way by taking the average of the base, minute, and mile increases. Since most of the minute and mile increases are larger than the base rate increase the actual increase in fare will skew higher.

This is how we did DOS VGA fonts ~1990. Draw the pixels right in the code (everything was monospace) and write that array directly to video memory.
