Old MSFT trick from Comdex/Windows World days. Everybody was always standing at their cubes because they used double pads under the carpet.
`docker stats` is built-in to docker since 1.5 and has an HTTP API.
Did you ever think the government tells you more than it can know?
I don't assume, it's simply logic. If you donate you do have chance to help, if you don't - you don't.
It's easy enough to find well-known foundation and give them money.

I also use Google One and my weekly donation there is around $20. It's really easy, don't invent reasons against doing it.
I hope legislators, if anything, become more careful with foreign intelligence, not innocent citizens.

This unfortunate announcement is one of those things lawmakers love to use to justify exploitative and unethical policies.

Let's hope that's not the case
Political correctness is a dangerous tightrope.

You try to uncover X'ism in tech by pointing out ways in which common industry practice Y disadvantage people in group X. But to do this, you had to claim that people in group X would perform worse when practice Y was in effect. Oops! You're an X'ist yourself!

E.g. X = age, Y = working to deadlines/long hours, X = women, Y = speaking up in meetings, etc.
Its less about earnings, and more about time with acutally important things like family.
Actually there are various sub-designations for unclassified material[0]. Just because it's unclassified does not mean it's not confidential, or problematic if certain individuals have access to it. The burden of classifying all communications would be too great, too restrictive. Everything electronic would have to be over classified networks, leaks would have to be handled appropriately, and nobody could ever have a public conversation about anything. Doesn't mean everything should be plaintext in gmail though.

Thank you for taking the time to write this explanation :)
In terms of root causes, this incident should cast a spotlight on NSA/IC strategy and the balance between "Information Assurance" goals and SIGINT goals: is the NSA going to deliberately leave everyone vulnerable (including, apparently, POTUS) to enable offensive operations of questionable value, or should NSA and its partners re-emphasize their IA mission and work toward securing the systems everyone uses? I can only hope Obama is leaning toward the latter after being personally affected.

If this was a list of cat pictures, I would not consider posting to a third party cheating. But seeing as how it's credit card data, even though it is already "in the wild," it is still worth not posting to another random website.
I just installed void on my laptop (x230) and it's quite nice. Very minimal and uses runit for managing services. Not many packages but it's had everything I've needed so far.

It also uses libressl and the packages build against alternative libcs so that's pretty cool. It's also interesting in that it's a new distro rather than a fork.

> many distros have already jumped on the systemd wagon

Odd. If systemd is so Objectively Terrible (the general tenor of these posts: systemd is bad, it's obviously bad, with no redeeming features whatsoever), why is that happening? There can't possibly be a financial incentive.
> I suspect that there's a way to identify the latest content built into IPFS

Yeah-- the IPNS records have a notion of recency, as well as being able to write version history datastructures (e.g. git)

No, this would not be of much practical use on a modern Linux system. But it does give you and understanding of how early Linux worked, which is helpful to know if you use Linux often.
Yes, in my profile.
Yep! entirely agreed.
I never played SM when it was originally out for some reason that's long since been forgotten. I first played it maybe 2 or 3 years ago and found it fantastic. Completely divorced from any nostalgia, I found myself really getting engrossed in the story, the environment and the design.

Even though it was 16-bit and 2D, I was completely absorbed in the environment. It feels like almost every screen and task had been poured over and over and polished until it was perfect.

It's actually kind of hard to play other games that haven't received that kind of attention because you feel the subjective difference.

It's so wonderfully designed that, even though the game ends up being pseudo-linear (everything you're going to do to progress has been more or less pre-determined), it felt like a world I really wanted to spend more time in and that I had an amazing amount of agency.

It's definitely one of those games that clearly qualifies as art in the sense that it has a story to tell and emotions it wants to evoke, while at the same time remaining interactive. I feel like this is the kind of level that Ebert was challenging games to reach when he claimed they weren't art.
CenturyLink installed FTTH here a few days ago. When I called Comcast to cancel, it sounded like they intended to put up a fight until I mentioned the word "gigabit." Immediately took the wind out of the poor rep's sails.
>Do people even read articles these days?

I know what you said is a little bit tongue-in-cheek, but as someone running a news startup there are two types of news consumers:

1. People looking to understand what's happening
2. People looking for ammunition to reinforce their already-unstoppable notion as to how the world works.
I've been interested in something similar to that. How did you keep from getting lonely? Seems like 3 months is just enough time to make new (real) friends and then leave?
I think any popular and kids movie will insert innuendos, sarcasm and things like that in there. I suspect that often addressed for the adults. In other words it is a multi-layered thing going on. I don't know which cartoons but some have had pretty adult references in there, but it would take an adult to understand. Kids might ask "hey, why are you laughing?".

However I agree with the idea of positive vs negative framework in general. And think there is even a temporal dimension in it. By that I mean that almost all childrens' shows have some kind of a conflict in the beginning -- someone behaving badly, someone being shamed, ignored, maybe not sharing, or other negative behavior like that. Later in the story that is resolved and the protagonist learns a life lesson -- "ok, be nice to your friends", "listen to your parents" etc. Except the problem is at a certain age children cannot follow the continuity of the story they just see a character fighting, behaving badly, etc and they copy it.
for convenience here is the list of the questions (from the original app):

What are you working on?

How does it work?

Someone else just showed us this idea, do you have anything else?

How far along are you?

Who are your users and why are they using this?

What do people do to solve this today and why are you better?

How are you going to get demand?

What are your backgrounds?

How did your team meet?

How big could this business be?

How much could you make in 1 year?

What is your biggest objection from users?

Why now?

How did you start working on this idea?

Do you have any domain expertise?

Why are you the right team?

What are the economics of the business?

When do you become ramen profitable?

How will you achieve a monopoly?

If I gave you 120k right now, what would you spend it on?

What is the equity split?
If uneven, tell me why.

Where will you be by the end of YC?

If you fail, what will the reason be?

What is your burn rate?

Why aren't you growing faster?

Who are you most afraid of?

What is your CAC and LTV?

What is your biggest weakness as a team?

Why aren't you hiring to fill that weakness now?

6 months from now, what will be your biggest problem?

What has the feedback been from users so far?
What a nifty blog. I find visualizations incredibly useful when developing a deeper understanding of some mathematical concept so I am certainly bookmarking this. Another blog I find useful in this regard is Better Explained[1].

Congrats! Chiang Mai seems more like an expat colony at this point, do you still think there's enough Thailand to see in Chiang Mai or do you suggest another destination if people were to go there for the first time now?
"Some VCs won't believe that a 25-year old white woman (who -- gasp! -- wears skirts and makeup) is capable of being a technically solid engineer. We soon figured out that pitches to potential investors went better if I was dressed like a slob in sweatpants."

Sad but I can see this happening..

"No matter how dreamy the startup, it is not worth sacrificing your health."

I just wish more bosses of start ups felt this way about their employees! But I suppose that's because they have much more to gain and not much to lose from making their employees work more than they should.
What makes this file(1) safer than any other?
The NYT article doesn't have many tech details. It would be interesting to know whether it was ineptly configured and managed. Was this a dusty old server in the cellar running unpatched Windows 2008 and an old version of Exchange, or was it a hardened and well-managed system?

Somebody on Computerworld said that the State Dept was spearphished, and that POTUS's system was breached from there.
So your complaint boils down to HN is so far 'off to the side of mainstream, that X,Y,Z is common here so we ought to post A,B,C because thats even more uncommon'.
These are awesome and kudos for open sourcing it, this is the kind of material I expected all school kids to be learning from by now (based mostly on sci-fi).
Lcamtuf notably found several ELF Parsing bugs in file, that appeared may have been exploitable.

The work he has been doing with AFL and googles big fuzz farm, focusing on utilities that are used daily without thought is insanely important, imho
Particularly destroying the workings of an unsuccessful product line, where others could have learned and progressed the design. But it was the 70's and sharing of knowledge has changed significantly since then.
Agreed that this seems equivalent to me. Assume instead of the instruction "access file X", the instruction is HALT.
Intentional does not always mean good.

I'd argue that the total damage to society done by allowing speculative lawsuits where the intention is just to scare or defame someone into settling, by far outweighs the benefit done by also allowing speculative lawsuits done for more noble purposes.
"Loser" here means... >50% liable for what happened? Civil suits don't always have 'winners' and 'losers' in the same way criminal cases do, and even if this specific concept doesn't apply here, it does in other parts of this kind of law, so if we're applying the 'loser pays' notion generally it has to be addressed.

Also, this would make it pretty much impossible for smaller parties to go after larger parties, because there are no sure things in law, and losing a case in a 'loser pays' system could make you liable for whatever the larger party could afford to pay for lawyers. IBM's legal fees don't come cheap.
The commit message is:

New implementation of the file(1) utility.
This is a simplified, modernised version
with a nearly complete magic(5) parser
but omits some of the complex builtin
tests (notably ELF) and has a reduced set
of options.

ok deraadt

What is significance beyond the obvious?

What options are now missing?

What are the tradeoffs? Beyond a simplified API, are there new capabilities, functionality/use-cases, and/or improved performance?
IMO nursing homes problem will be solved as other expensive activities have been solved (or patched): relocation and offshoring.

How much does cost a low-end nursing home in the US? In South Europe $2k can get you a mid-end nursing home.

Right. A simple example to show that induction does not work to infinity:

0 < 1
For any natural n, if n-1 < n, then n < n+1
(proof: add 1 to both sides of the given inequality)
By induction, for all natural n, n < n+1

But clearly this does not work for infinity, because ∞-1 = ∞ = ∞+1. So induction proves something about all natural numbers, but ∞ is not a natural number.

Pretty much, I'm trying to remember the film that had them and at the time I thought I want those!.

Also with near full wall HDPI displays you could do some awesome infograophic style style stuff, house conditions etc.
The Golden Age is when you're twelve. Always. Regardless of generation.
Sorry, I should have been clearer. Yes, it is not truly autonomous, but the mindset of many of those interviewed in the areas we are conducting attacks is basically "death can come down from on high at any moment from clear blue skies". They're not viewing it as "soldiers sometimes come into our village and shoot at suspected terrorists and there are sometimes civilian casualties".

And the tendency is to keep moving to that; even now it's only 'soldier vs civilian' by technicality; as soon as we can replace the soldier at the viewscreen with an algorithm, we likely will.
I don't think you can ever prove that you've found the required files for an arbitrary binary. (I especially have a hard time believing that such a proof would involve fuzzing, which is random.) However, it seems reasonable that you would be able to achieve a high enough level of confidence that this technique would be viable.

The pool table in the break room is a cargo cult stand in for an actual good culture and doesn't make up for a below-market salary. A truly awesome culture does make up for it, but the company that thinks the pool table makes their culture awesome and is a reason to take that low salary is a clueless company and not one I want to work for. Is that mercenary?
I think this is one of the most useful responses to the question, and I suspect it's closer to the average experience. I have done a decent amount of traveling, and so have most of my friends, and my opinion (and theirs, I think, through our conversations) agree with this. None of us are extremely introverted, or extroverted - I'd say we're pretty normal, unremarkable people.

On the nomad matter I would go further, and suggest that it only really works for a very few people, and that most who try don't turn it into a lifestyle; it's something they do for a few years until they eventually settle down and mostly stay in one place. Most of the excited blog posts are written within the first year - I've yet to see the 10-year postmortem from a committed digital nomad.
What do you mean by "truly static"?
Agile and learning continuously is not something that only programmers out of college can do. You can still do it while having a family, even.
It's a hold over from World War 2 wage controls. Offering to pay health insurance on the side got around them. It no doubt continues because of the pre-tax benefits. That is, if your employer pays for it then it isn't subject to federal and state income taxes as well as FICA taxes. Depending on your income level and state, those could be around as 30-35% at a programmer's salary range.
That's how I feel and I'm unmarried and not yet 30.
Actually, it's not that difficult. The v4 blocks assigned to DoD are quite well known, but that's a pretty large swath by itself (/8's), so one would want to tighten the target a little. That's not a hard task at all.

If you wanted to figure it out starting with something like whitehouse.gov is a bad place to begin. That's a public facing media engine at best, not really used for "government" per se. In fact, it's likely not even homed on a DoD or GOV network. Many of the media engine type sites in the government are outsourced to third party hosting.

You'd want to find something more specific, like perhaps a protected access web system, like a Sharepoint portal or website, or even a mail relay conveniently pointed out by an MX record. Trace that system back and you likely will find either its reverse proxy, a front end system, or an SMTP entry point. This gives you the parameter subnet (DMZ) that you can probe from there. Then, using available DNS records, you could start mapping out the parameter looking for proxies, mail relays, and web servers. If you had access to web traffic logs you could use them as well to look for egress points from networks. If you had e-mail traffic to look at you'd likely see leaked internal subnets as well in the headers. However, this would only work for services they have blessed for access to the public internet.

It is absolutely no different than how you'd map any other network.
"Objectively terrible" certainly isn't the case with systemd, but there's plenty of reasons for adopting software in general that has nothing to do with technical merit. Much of the Linux desktop daemons (particularly ones associated with GNOME and Freedesktop.org) have begun using systemd's interfaces, sometimes as hard dependencies. Thus, for the major distributions that want to tailor to the most popular use cases, the cost of adopting systemd is probably lower than patching against the ever-expanding upstream that requires it.

Lots of programmers aren't particularly good at analyzing the cost of surface convenience in proportion to future technical debt. Software is just as frequently adopted purely because it's convenient, well marketed or in a self-serving feedback cycle, because it's already popular.

It's also worth noting that ChromeOS still uses Upstart.
(depending on how your travels have been) an expat colony can be a really nice thing to find sometimes.
Surprisingly, there actually IS fiber in Blacksburg. At one of the co-working spaces downtown, they got gigabit internet two years ago. But sadly it hasn't extended from there and the project itself barely got funded.
I had a similarly unrewarding experience. However, one of the biggest gains from my journey was having done it and removing the mystery of "what if?"

Now, if I encounter hard times, feel in a rut, etc, I know that for me, leaving it all behind and traveling the world (which would be incredibly costly, never mind impossible due to commitments) is not the answer.
Never work for free, unless it is for yourself.

If you want a trial by fire education, go on elance or odesk or whatever people do to freelance now and pick up some small projects that you feel comfortable that you can complete. Do that for 4 months and you'll be far better off.

If they expect you to work for free they're not a real shop where you'll learn anything meaningful anyhow.

If anything... tell them you will take a 16 month contract for $55k but they have to pay you from day 1. Mathematically it is the same but I guarantee they will tell you to pound sand, and then you'll know who you're dealing with
There are many inherent problems with utilities like file(1), however, if people are going to continue using them then we should try to make the best implementation possible.

This new implementation was created from scratch, carefully, with modern coding practices by a very proficient programmer.
It is lonely sometimes, but I'm naturally pretty independent & it doesn't phase me too much. I've met a lot of random people either through renting rooms, coworking spaces or just being approached in cafes by people that also work in tech when they see Sublime open on my screen.

I have met some really cool people, but like you said, I generally leave before we can become 'real' friends so the friendships I have made haven't really been that strong unfortunately. I don't get a lot of time through the week & I usually spend my weekends doing the touristy/exploration stuff so I'm kept busy.

Sometimes I find myself wishing for a group of friends / SO to do this with, but I don't know a lot of other people that can travel & work at the same time. I'm not really keen on the whole backpacker trip either.
I'm hacking around on a distributed version control project, and I think I've found a cool solution to this problem.

I've created a github gist with my public key and a signature. Now people can see that gist and verify that the keyholder posted the signature via my github account. People can fork the gist and put their own signature in. Now I can easily list the forks of my gist and get a list of public keys that are cryptographically linked to certain github accounts.
I fully agree with aidos. It's much more rewarding if you go to a place and live like a local. In my case I've done a few voluntary work trips, the longest I did together with my wife and it lasted a year. I always try to learn the language in countries when I stay more than a couple of weeks. It quickly breaks the ice when you work side-by-side with the locals, trying to speak their language. You may not get to see all the main attractions in a country but you get to see and experience much more interesting things.

However, I also agree with reddytowns. Traveling like that changes you. You'll probably not notice until you return but it's quite likely you will feel disconnected from your peers, friends and family. You have changed and they have not. I would recommend anyone planning to go on a long immersive journey to consider going together with some one you like and get along well with. Then at least you will have that connection when you get back. This is important since this disconnected state could very likely be permanent. At least that's how it feels for me, it's been almost ten years since my wife and I spent a year abroad and I'd say we lost something then that we haven't been able to get back. We've spent nearly ten years back home, buying a house, raising kids and yet we don't really feel like we belong in our own country with our own families.. maybe it's just our personalities..

So in the end, would I recommend quitting your job and travel the world? I guess it depends on how well you'll handle the disconnect. The fact that your own family may feel like strangers to you.. In my case I can't really regret going, I've got too many amazing memories, too much fun with people I got to call my friends for a while. The sad part is though, you can't really go back either. Trust me I've tried. It will never be the same. Leaving and coming home changes you yet again.

FWIW, my Vizio TV applies firmware updates without asking me first (and tells me about it on next boot), and their ToS is similarly liberal in what they might collect: "including but not limited to the identity of your broadcast, cable, or satellite television provider, the television programs and commercials you view".

Reminds me of a buddy I travelled with in Thailand - we had split up for a while and then reconnected on some island, he's sleeping in a real dump, mattress on the floor, squat toilet with no TP, rats walking around, for like $10/night. Literally the next bungalows over were maybe $16 per night and VERY nice. About 10PM that night he changed his mind and came and slept at my place.
>unless they want their company to become a revolving door

Maybe they just don't care if their company is a revolving door or not. That is, software isn't the company's primary focus, so they want someone to occasionally deliver software that sort of works and gets some of the job done.
