Nice maintenance release with a few improvements. I'd say the core of Ansible's brainpower is focused on v2 which will have significant changes (easily available today if you want to try, check the v2 dir).
I think that people, especially web developers, tend to forget that the Web is not the Internet.
Matthew Green does not believe there is a Truecrypt conspiracy. Source: I've discussed this with him at length as an advisor to the TC audit project.

Steve Gibson isn't a cryptographer, and your quote doesn't respond to my question.

Bruce Schneier I'll have to accept as a totally valid rebuttal to my implied point. This is something that really irritates me about Schneier, for what it's worth. He's also behind a meme that elliptic curve cryptography is less safe than RSA, when the reality is almost the opposite.
Sorry, I'm mixing it up with Zimbra. Too many weird names.

I don't see an iredmail role, but having used Ansible previously, if you can install it chances are you can write an Ansible playbook for it.
Is there a hard distinction?
This is really well written, the author has a very engaging story-telling style, and manages to get the facts across while still being entertaining. And, I love the Proverbs quote at the start. Anyone know what book it comes from, as I'd love to read it if all the content is like this.

It appears to be the entirety of Chapter 8 of something, but I couldn't find the actual book title mentioned anywhere...

What do you do with the remaining 10%?
I would feel like my project got audited by top-caliber vulnerability researchers and I didn't have to pay a dime to make that happen. "Happy" is how I would feel, I guess.

Now can you answer my question?
Love the title.
An article from 1997? BTW, his "Consciousness and the Brain" is one of my favorite books.
Most people simply don't need this kind of storage anymore.

But this is exactly the sort of storage the linked article is talking about. So your point is that I attacked a "strawman" because I didn't accept the linked article for being something entirely different from what it is?

but the large majority of companies aren't

The majority of mid to large sized companies run entirely on SANs. I'm not sure where you get your information from, but how shoestring upstarts operate has nothing to do with much of the "real world".

This article is about a home-brew SAN, with home-brew SAN qualities and deficiencies.

I would say 18 months is much more common for good software engineers.
Had similar pain points 6 months ago. Went through vagrant, docker, ec2, gce, gke and found issues almost everywhere. That's just the way it goes in the early days. 6-12 months down the line this will all be really easy and seamless with hopefully a lot more people contributing to the kubernetes ecosystem.
Question: from the video I get the impression that this platform can handle only ONE course, is this right? Still a very nice implementation, good interface work!

If this had been posted 5 days ago, I would have been less surprised. It just seems like a lot of these new "startups" are formulated by first asking "what is a slight annoyance that upper/upper-middle class white people have? Can we commoditize it?"

Seriously, this is Poe's Law at work.
I found one of these when I was Autodesk back in the early 90s.

It's been awhile, so I'm undoubtedly remembering something incorrectly.

This was in the early days of protected mode DOS software. Some customers were reporting an lockup issue with AutoCAD in rare instances when a particular command was used.

It took awhile, but I finally narrowed it down to running the "3-point arc" command on a system with a math co-processor and low memory (so it's paging) on certain 386-20 chips.

I don't recall the exact fix, but we did put some Intel-recommended code in the app to workaround the lockup. The 386 was quickly superseded by the 486 (which had its math co-processor built in which was huge for AutoCAD users back then) so this entire issue quickly disappeared.

Fun times.
THIS! thanks!

The people can afford a private driver? I fail to see the middle ground between middle-class and rich people that this service would cover. Plus, you don't fill your tank as a single appointment.

Quite an understatement. Some of the news outlets deemed it unnecessary to mention what was said in the leaked tapes and instead referred to it as a "military strategy".

Examples of contracts you should not sign
Doing your own chores helps keep you grounded. I've worked with many rich (effectively making $1,000+/hr) people who think that they're above others. My theory is once they start paying people to live a majority of their lives for them, it warps their perspective.
I've watched this presentation. Unfortunately, I can't say I've found all of it enlightening or at least useful. For one thing, there were important omissions, like inventions/development in agriculture or communication technology that caused an explosion in resources/means available (which were to stay), whereas Mr. Tainter assumes resources to be limited and declining. Other than the omissions there are just wrong assumptions or metrics. The best example in this regard is US patents that he takes as an indicator of research and development and points that the costs got higher because patents are submitted by (costly) groups. Nowadays not only patents are submitted in groups, but also paperworks, and this is partly political (i.e. an artificial induced phenomenon). And patents become hardly a metric of invention or development, as a lot of us may acknowledge (reference to patent trolling), but for some reason in Mr. Tainter's dissemination this is again overlooked.

I'm not saying Mr. Tainter's work is worthless, it's just that I see it not that solid to consider it as a foundation to build upon.
Please don't start this way. Michal Zalewski didn't write afl fuzzer so it would be used without deep technical knowledge. It's actually not for beginners at all despite how powerful it is.

As a general rule to start in security work, you will want to know how to program in at least one language competently, then move on to theoretical understanding of vulnerabilities, then finding them painstakingly by hand, and finally by automation.

It's perfectly fine to use afl (or other similar tools), but understand that using an automated tool without first knowing how to do things by hand and groking the theory will stunt your growth and make it hard to progress very far.

Pop open a weakened VM and exploit a few buffer overflow bugs the old fashioned way before you use a fuzzer. With code review, learn the nuances of each language before you automate your audit. You shouldn't have to rely on an automated tool to find out register globals is on in PHP (as one example).
It's more that a bad landing page demolishes potential trust.

Eh, this is a little bit of a tangent because there's no reason to block users ever I feel (and in this particular case blocking IE 10+ is stupid), but honestly? It's rarely worth the time to go through and make sure your site works on older browsers. Or that it degrades gracefully.

Yeah, if my site uses canvas, I should probably have a fallback for IE8. But in practice, and I know I'm not alone here: Unless I see that IE8 makes up a significant part of my site's traffic, fuck it.

There are already enough vendor issues between the latest versions of the big 4 (Chrome/FF/Safari/IE), spending more time going through old versions of those 4 will drive you bonkers.

It's rarely worth it and spending any amount of time catering to those users is almost assuredly not a good use of your time.

The claim was about political ignorance of common people in the US. You extended that to "people in modern democracies". I think this is incorrect.

In Canada, I find people are typically more politically aware if not involved, as compared to the US where I live now.

All of them are absolutely awesome and enlightening and entertaining. Also I can highly recommend listening them as audiobooks, very convenient.

I think the article is interesting irrespective of the "wrong prediction" aspect. I think it was asking a legitimate question at the time. I was only a kid, but my dad had a computer company and I remember those early laptops he sold. They were interesting, but they were limited in a number of ways.

Also, they took some weird turns. Manufacturers didn't want to try to cram standard 5.25" floppy drives (3.5" were not yet standard at that time) into laptops, so they came out with all kinds of weird proprietary drives. And then you had to shell out tons of money for those proprietary disks.
I wonder if someone is working on building an OS around seL4 now that it's open sourced? Obviously it would have to be designed differently than HURD is, but it sounds like it would be a nifty project.

It was pretty painless for the first three for me, all run off one gpu, nvidia 270 iirc so nothing crazy. My setup is pretty lightweight even with compton running so it's never been an issue. Awesome handles multiple monitors really well imho and they're basically independent from each other, except for moving windows between them. When I added the fourth was a bit of a pain, as it's a separate X screen, and separate instance of awesome on a second GPU, but I put dualscreenutils on a keybinding so that alleviated the pain, except I can't move windows to/from that screen, but it's not really a pain point.

I'll have "enough" screen area once I have a setup that covers my entire field of vision ;)
Introducing the caveats of PostgreSQL arrays is informative. However, I can't help but note that this app probably would have been better served by a classic event log table. Why have each user forever carrying tens, or hundreds of thousands of events directly in their user record?

If data mining is necessary, it's right there in the event log and can be manipulated by much simpler (and faster, possibly by orders of magnitude) SQL. Additionally, it's not bloating regular access of the user records.

I've been seeing these designs more and more, recently. Is it a natural extension of non-DBAs taking DDL design roles? Because this data manipulation style doesn't really mix well with any RDBMS I'm familiar with.

It's more like a cultural curiosity. It's an attempt to get a full GNU system on top of a microkernel. Except they've never gotten a particularly complete system working with any acceptable level of performance on any of many microkernels attempted.

If you're a student and are interested in finding a hackathon near you to participate in, check out https://mlh.io/events for a list of great events in North America and https://mlh.io/eu for events in Europe.

This is where you learn the hard skills you need to be a programmer, designer, entrepreneur, or artist - not in the classroom.

Which has nothing to do with surveillance.

If you're going to flat out lie and make stuff up then you quite literally do not need to do any surveillance.

John Kerry's war record being tarnished was done openly, publicly, and without any involvement of the NSA (which would have been useless to the cause anyway).

What is the reason to go with Raid1 for the intel SSDs? My guess would be that the rate of Raid1-catchable failures of these drives is not considerably higher than the rate of, say mainboard failures or other failures that render the whole unit out of operation.
Some firms are very open to taking total noobs with promising intuitions and who can code well (you need to be able to code well for this). If you can go this way, you should.

Otherwise:

1. If you have found bug bounties consistently across the gamut of web application vulnerabilities, you're probably ready (you will have gaps - supplement with lots of theory).

2. If you can competently write a custom debugger and reverse engineer apps, you're ready.

3. If you would honestly call yourself an expert C/C++ programmer, you're ready.

4. If you actually completed the Matasano Crypto Challenges, you're ready.

You are specifically not ready just because you got yourself a certification, especially if that certification is the CISSP. The CISSP is an HR drone criteria that has more relevance on a SaaS pricing table than it does in a real security firm.

fyi, how to apply: 1.april Estonia opened foreign embassies where you can give paper application. But from May Estonia opens online application where you can pay by credit card. And once you got accepted then you need to physically go and collect the card from your chosen foreign embassy. everything here https://e-estonia.com/e-residents/about/

Why one should? yes, access to EU market, access to good services (google, paypal, soon stripe etc), access to e-banking, and generally digital signature gives hassle-free business environment (signing contracts with partners, filling e-tax declarations, administrating business on a business portal).

Why Estonia is doing it - to increase its economic reach / gain more customers / PR
You need a new TN visa if you change jobs. You can do it by mail, or by leaving/re-entering.

It's up to the border officer to decide whether you meet the critera or not. They're not experts in any particular field, so generally, they look to make sure that all the right keywords are hit in the job application and your qualifications.

Contacting USCIS will generally only get you generic advice. An immigration lawyer, while not necessary to do the paperwork (it's pretty easy) should be able to give you a reasonable opinion as to whether you'd be successful or not. They're the only people that deal with this often enough to have a feel for when an application might be successful or not.

Do some google searching on "TN visa" and "web developer", there are lots of stories out there that should give you a feel for what's involved.
I was excited until I realized the Courses weren't open source. Ah well. xD

I'm using Ansible as well, but I'm not really sure that it's better than just using shell scripts.

The problem of something like Ansible is that you have to do a web search to figure out how to do anything, rather than just writing the shell command you already know to do it.

The only major advantage is that it can tell you whether a configuration step changed the machine or not in a standardized format, which is something that shell cannot do without manually writing the code to do so.

Ansible in particular is also much slower than shell, since it seems to do a network roundtrip for each command. This is pretty surprising, since the #1 performance concern in writing such a tool is of course precisely not doing that.
Don't make blanket statements without looking at the actual numbers first. The satellites will be in LEO. An added 5ms (or say 50ms with slack for demodulation, processing, etc) RTT is totally insignificant for their target market.
