I don't know if I am understanding your question correctly.

I read 'ci(' as change what's inside parents. I read 'ci{' as change inside braces. 'ca(' and 'ca{' grab the parents and the braces as well.

=========================

These combinations work for (d)elete as well. If your cursor is over the 4th letter of a 6 letter word, 'dw' will delete to the end of the word. 'diw' on the other hand will delete the whole word. (I've never tried 'daw' although I know 'da(' works)
High schools in most states don't have shooting programs any more. Also no wood shop, or metal shop, or automotive classes. Budget cuts.

Youth groups do the training now. My son is a shooting instructor, was Director of shooting sports at our local camp for years.
I'm not sure if you're joking or not, or what kind of shops you frequent, but I never had to pay any extra because my jeans were longer...
Absolutely. If they fork it, it defeats the purpose - getting Windows Server to play nice in heterogeneous environments - if their contributions aren't compatible with the ethos, direction or quality of what is required, they will not be accepted.

The article focuses on kids who drop out of college to start businesses. That's great but there are ways to succeed in tech without trying to build the next InstaBookSpaceGram. I'm a college dropout who I guess you could say is thriving in tech but I didn't start a business and don't have much of an entrepreneurial spirit.

A little about me: I wrote my first line of code when i was 12 (perl) and went on to dabble in a few other languages. After high school I went to Penn (Wharton) to study finance. I dropped out in my second year (long story there). I bounced around doing a few random but fun things before I decided to give programming a go as a career.

My first "tech job" was as a freelance VBA programmer and Excel expert. Pretty much the only class at Penn that came easily to me was called Operations and Information Management 101. It was basically an intro to advanced Excel techniques. I took what I learned there, and a few things from elsewhere, and contracted out to anyone in New York (where I'm from) that needed Excel work. It was shockingly lucrative. After that I moved to Austin and taught Ruby and database technologies at a coding bootcamp. Now I work at a company that does managed WordPress hosting (I write Ruby for them).

With the exception of a couple of my first contracts no one ever really thought much of the fact that I dropped out of college after three semesters. I carried a lot of guilt over the years regarding my degree-less state but am now pretty much over it. I guess the point I wanted to make here is that you don't have to be an entrepreneur to make it in tech. You just have to be smart, work hard, and get a little lucky.
I wanted to use Apple Pay so bad.. loaded several cards into it, and tried it everywhere I shopped.. Turns out, not a single place I shop at regularly accepted apple pay/nfc.

I know visa/mc/etc are pushing nfc and POSs are required to be updated soon... so maybe next year.

I don't think anyone who has tried Apple Pay is wondering why no one is using it.
Out of curiosity -- how does your tool compare to for instance FreshBooks?
Yes I see you are right, thanks for the clarification. The base Powershell.exe with a better window wrapper like cmdr actually should make a nice combination.

It's really too bad the limitation on the nicer ISE though. It does make a bad first impression coming from Linux, when trying to compile and run a simple interactive console app, trying to use ISE as a cmd.exe replacement.

If you can find them at all. Not on the discount rack for sure. I end up having to buy them wherever I can find them, often at a ridiculous price.
Granted it's been, uh, a little while since I've last tried, but my recollection is that Slashdot's submission process has always been arbitrary and frustrating. I wouldn't necessarily attribute lost submissions to malice.
Actually, drivers when you're talking about companies like these are developed with Microsoft involved nearly every step of the way. If they cared about OpenGL on Windows, it would've been avoided quite likely.
The elephant in the room is that from the consumer's POV there is nothing wrong with credit card payments. Often now you can just swipe and sign no signature for small purchases. Try to add contactless or contact or other smart card tech and it screws up wastes peoples time and you become one of the people George Carlin wants to kill.

Merchants have problems but apple pay doesn't solve them, in particular the 6% fraud rate is even worse than the black card. The current model supports high rates for the banks because they eat the fraud. A drastically cheaper system needs to greatly reduce fraud and that ain't easy.
I have few "real" performance issues with Cygwin as well. However, when I perform the same tasks in gnu/linux there is a noticeable speed increase. So what I mean to say is that Cygwin's performance isn't necessarily bad, it's just not as good as the real thing.

I'm just saying. Times have changed. Will they ever be as open as an open source project run by volunteers? No. Have they dramatically improved their position in response to the very real criticisms of their past behavior. Yes.
Maybe somebody could automate the process, provide a service?!
It feels like the same underlining luxery branding of Apple products. Those guys are tacky and cheap, we are HBO. Apple doesn't even own a TV, they go to the art house theater...

Some observations...

I just finished Fareed Zakaria's "In Defense of a Liberal Education"[1] and while he makes a passionate argument, the capital markets overwhelmingly disagrees with him. VC's (even those VC's not specializing in Silicon Valley tech) value makers, builders, engineers over experts in English/Art/History/Philosophy. If liberal arts education was on equal footing as STEM, there wouldn't be the jokes about that B.A. in English acting as an expensive way to train Starbucks baristas. (Please notice I emphasize the "education" of liberal arts and not the pure value of liberal arts for its own sake when making comparisons.)

Unfortunately, the economic possibilities of tech droputs vs liberal arts graduates contributes to the (often smug) STEM circle-jerk. The current trend of "software is eating the world" underlies the disparity.

If a 19-year old freshman compsci dropout from MIT, Stanford can work on a startup for 3 years and be regarded as higher value than the 22-year old compsci graduate, it means that MIT/Stanford's primary value (to investors) is to act as an unspoken IQ test. In other words, we care more that you were the top percentile of SAT scores and passed other intelligence filters more so than any particular curricula you would have completed at the end of 4 years.

It's fascinating that what we say (lip service about college) does not match how people in power vote with their wallets. Yes, if you want to be a Supreme Court justice, you have to go to Yale/Harvard Law -- and you must finish those degrees. If you want to be a neurosurgeon, you must finish medical school. But the tech dollars funding programmers are saying something else.

So I ask as an informal survey, would you guys prefer to hire (or invest in) a dropout from MIT? or a graduate of Alabama Uni Computer Science? What's more important? The admissions filter at a top-ranked school? or the classes completed at a low-ranked one?

I'd just like to add that after chatting to some pharma. reps (who coincidentally are VERY well spoken, no doubt they've received training in this) that have told me if they can get even just 1 patient on their life long drug (as seems to be the trend for pharmacy research) , it'll more than pay off for the free lunch they bought you.

Startup Aims to Scour the Dark Web for Stolen Data
Its odd that DRM had existed since the Apple //e days. I remember returning EA's "Seven Cities of Gold" because it wouldn't load right because the protection was so exacting it just wouldn't run on some machines. Twice it went back, I gave up playing that game. So annoying.

Then came the hackers who cracked games (and put banners up on game load..), copy tools to get around the copy protection. Locksmith was one I remember. My friend had a card with a button that would dump memory (machines only had 64Kbytes or 128) to disk, perfect for copying those games that loaded completely into memory and didn't go back to disk. You needed the card reload and play the games though.

I think some of those games survive in this era thanks to those crackers.

While some are fun to replay and important in context, The memory of those games is sometimes better than the reality. Though I miss mind-strike for intellivision though. Haven't seen anything like it.

There's no default included SSH client. SSH server support is also limited, though possible under, say, Cygwin.

SSHing into a Windows box with file shares open to other hosts is ... interesting. You're outside the normal user authentication scope, and CIFS/SMB fileshare is (pardon extremely imprecise descriptions) authenticated and contextualized via the desktop login. CALS accounting too, and I've run into exceptionally annoying concurrency limits as a result.

Contrast with, say, NFS or iSCSI where filesystem mounts are managed at the system level, possibly with automounter support for apparently seamless behavior.

My read of this is that this is largely geared at 1) providing additional support for OpenSSH development (a Good Thing), and 2) (finally) delivering an SSH client on the default install.

Really, about fucking time, that.
I have been getting the smart cards with contacts from my bank, I think the banks are pushing the contact standard because smart phones don't support contacts and it helps them keep the card racket going.
So what discoveries can we hope to expect with this higher energy? I mean what kind of discoveries were simply not possible with the lower level used before, do we know these or are they just smashing the particles and checking what comes out?
Eg. the higgs boson had a theoretical energy level which was looked for (and found at the lower energies used last run).

FTA
"But the boost in energy is vital for punching through to a new domain where further discoveries about the Universe are possible."

"Early discoveries could include hitherto unseen "partner" particles to those in the Standard Model that are part of a scheme known as supersymmetry, or SUSY"

Ok so nothing specific, just looking. Which is ok of course :) Just curious how much higher this energy level is considering what particles may be found (eg. the mentioned "gluino", wasn't it possible to find it with the earlier energy level?)

I went to GIMP to get the latest version for Windows (Mine was 2+ years old)

Strange, it seems newer but the Windows version was the same as mine.

Google what up, randomly saw the Sourceforge controversy for GIMP in the news.

Went to straight to SourceForge and got my update. Because they could be bothered.

If you want Sourceforge to be evil, get your shit together GIMP. (Windows users are people too, plus appreciate all the work, but it'd be nice if you remembered us)

I think the nicest part of this is that account recovery e-mails are encrypted. I wish we'd see more of this.

While I'm cautious about facebook in general, it is (in essence) a repository for public data. A public key falls into that category, so they gain nothing more than the association of user and key. And in return, the PRISM databank has more superbly useless information to store and eventually 'collect' for 1EF communication.

And I gain immunity from account hijacking unless I mess up Key Management.
In London, lots of shops/bars support contactless card payments, and everyone I know has contactless bank cards.

Doesn't seem to be a strong reason for mobile payment right now.
Another problem is that paying with your phone is only more convenient if you have your phone in your hand already. Otherwise, men are probably going to the pockets of their trousers (wallet in one, phone in the other). Women are probably going dig in their purse, which has both their cards (often in a smaller wallet) and their phone. At that point you may as well go for the tried-and-tested, rather than the phone.

If you happen to have earbuds in (so many people, these days) and then moving the phone around is annoying because of the cord.

If the smart watches can do payments then it should be more convenient, provided the actual mechanics of holding or swiping the back of your wrist to the terminal works.
If you're a Unix person looking to check out Powershell, the classic 'Rosetta Stone' got ported to Windows Server recently: https://certsimple.com/rosetta-stone . This allows you to find Windows equivalent commands of whatever version of Linux/Mac OS/SmartOS/OpenBSD you're using.

Interesting insight into 'new Microsoft': first two times Powershell team asked to add SSH, they were rejected. Now it's OK: see last paragraph of http://blogs.msdn.com/b/looking_forward_microsoft__support_f...

People pay when they have to. People buy antivirus software and get no new features at all - just to avoid losing ground. As these other services become fragile (cost-cutting, competition driving dev costs up) folks will flock to anyone that doesn't suck, and pay for it.
Thanks for the good question.

FreshBooks is an accounting tool. I'm using it myself for that. The core vision for Agilescope is to have a easy and quick way to build estimates (internal or for clients) without all that distraction. Then you can work with your team or your client to scope out your milestone/offer and select which items to work on. The green switches on the left signals if an item should be done or not.

With that you can find the set of items which fit into the timeline and the customers budget.

With the next feature being integrated time tracking you can get a good overview of what items are completed vs. how much time/money is still left.

Did that answer your question?
You're right.. that's EMV (not nfc).. that's what I was thinking of. Merchants are required to update their POSs by Oct of this year for EMV.

But when they upgrade, newer terminals usually also support nfc.
> Also it mashes a terminal emulator together with an SSH client so if you want one you're stuck with the other.

That's not (completely) true, you can easily use the SSH client (plink) without the terminal emulator. It is actually quite common to do so.

I don't think it works the other way around though.
99.999% people in this world would much rather take the risk of an Apple tech having their password, then go through the trouble of wiping their drive and reinstalling. Perfect is the enemy of good. Apple has made it easy for people to encrypt their drive with FileVault, which is a huge step forward for privacy and security. As a result, I am okay with a single Apple tech having my password, which I assume gets purged once the computer is returned to me.

If you are that worried or tech savvy, just wipe it before you go in. You seriously expect them to ask every single customer to wipe their drive?
You are assuming that your years of experience would lend weight to your assertion...not so with some of these guys. They know what they know and one thing they know is that you, sir, are wrong.

I would be interested to hear more about what you like about doing driver development on windows if you have a minute. I've only just started playing around with the platform sdk...just building samples at this point.
Some companies even advertise that your seat will recline more if you pay some extra for it.

It's not unheard of for a single person to be responsible for a product/company. Sublime text, IDA Pro, Pinboard.in and there are quite a few more examples that's handled by a single person.

It's more important that a government can't spy on its own people. Without equal transparency between people and state, there's no way that the people can change the government. Mass surveillance invokes fear in the people to have and share ideas the government doesn't like. I think anything that protects freedom of speech for the American people is still a win for international folk as well.
Disclaimer: I am American and don't believe we will ever have an Internet where we aren't vulnerable to being watched by 'someone.'
Confused; what guys?

Driver APIs on Windows have professional support for managing all the resources drivers have to deal with - handles, page mapping, protection and ownership, timing and threading. All that is do-it-yourself on other platforms.

And the DDK ships with debugging tools. Again, do-it-yourself on other platforms.
You had to pay for http://www.powershellserver.com/ before, or use a Cygwin-type setup. There was nothing native and free.
> I love how everyone pretends that only the US has spies.

We're not talking about spies here but about mass surveillance. And if that can reassure you, I wouldn't be any less upset knowing that Norway or Japan openly record all my conversations and stores them until the end of times.

But the thing I find insulting and scary here is that there are no consideration at all in this debate for non-US citizens. Basically, the message there is "sorry guys, what we did was wrong... except when it's about everybody else in the world".

And in the end, everybody suffers from that. What Snowden said in Citizenfour is that the NSA uses the British surveillance system because it has less restriction than
their own concerning americans.
