It's rather rare that I find an online article that is well enough researched and written to warrant paying for it. I suppose if I found more online forums with long-form articles with on-the-ground research than I would be willing to pay up but it I haven't really seen anything that quite fits.
If you just want to play around with github projects, I would suggest you download/install VirtualBox[1] and download the Ubuntu Server disk image[2]. You can install Ubuntu as a virtual machine (VM) in VirtualBox. Then you can SSH from your host machine into the VM, run a web server, clone github projects, or whatever you'd like. It's free and contained.

Twitter just got a new CEO. So what happens to Square?
For a browser to accept a cert while connecting to "wiki.xyz.com", the cert needs to be for "wiki.xyz.com" or for ".xyz.com". Note that ".*.xyz.com" is invalid. So called "wildcard certs" are usually more expensive than single and multi-domain certs.

At the moment I'm looking at trying to compile some stuff on Windows, that has Visual Studio project files, with clang instead of Microsoft C++. This would involve making msbuild do things it wasn't exactly designed to do (assuming I don't want to spend a lot of time duplicating what it does from scratch). It occurred to me maybe what I really need to do is modify msbuild, but of course that's out of the question, right? But just for the heck of it I ran a Google search...

... and msbuild was recently open sourced. The code is right there on Github.

Yeah, Microsoft of 2015 is very different from Microsoft of 1995, in good ways.

I'm sorry, but have you ever been to Los Angeles? Where is this mythical place you're talking about with these mythical people?

I live in Los Angeles proper, and the majority of my neighbors already had low-water lawns to begin with. Those that don't (including me because the owners of the house I rent don't want to change it) are basically just letting the lawn die because we understand the situation and really aren't that vain.

Also, we do have watering restrictions and the city does give out fines if you don't follow them. I'm not sure what you're talking about, frankly.
Show HN: DeliveryTruck – a lightweight deployment tool for developers
There are several ways to resolve this issue:

1. Get a separate certificate for each subdomain. Let's Encrypt makes this feasible since the certs are free and require a minimum of human overhead to obtain.

2. Get a single certificate that covers each subdomain by using Subject Alternative Names, which are currently supported by Let's Encrypt.

3. Get a wildcard certificate for "*.xyz.com". Let's Encrypt does not support this and I do not think it plans to, at least not in the initial release.

The main question is - is the set of subdomains known before-hand, or is it highly dynamic? If it is fairly stable, then options 1 or 2 will work well for you; otherwise, you probably want option 3.

Choosing between option 1 and 2 usually depends on the details of your infrastructure and your threat model. For example, are all these subdomains served from the same server or different servers? If it's the same server, you might be more inclined to use 1 cert for all of them (option 2) since it will be easier to manage. Do all the domains have the same threat model? For example, what if you run blog.xyz.com on one server and billing.xyz.com on a separate, hardened server. In that case, you would want option 1 because if you used the same cert on both servers, obtaining the private key from the less-secured blog.xyz.com server could be used to attack traffic for billing.xyz.com.
Use a compiler that has extensions that _do_ guarantee that memory gets erased. That's what the gcc function attributes are for.

Alternatively, use a library that the C compiler doesn't know so much about that it will attempt to remove calling functions in them.

If you copy your standard library's memset in a separate DLL that is not the standard C library, the compiler will not even see the code during compilation, so it has to compile a function call.

The linker (or a JIT in your C runtime) is allowed to remove calls to the function, if it can prove that it doesn't have side effects. However, to prove that, it has to look at the assembly of the function; it cannot use the way simpler heuristic "it came from <memory.h> and is called memset"
I've seen this kind of strawman argument against Agile before, though this one builds a bigger and more detailed strawman than I've seen before. The problem here is not Agile, it's slapping the label "Agile" on something and then doing something totally different.

The great thing about Agile is that it's not business driven. I mean, of course you the work for business reasons, and the business people who have determined what they need, need to be available to the Agile team (for example in the form of a Product Owner in the case of Scrum), but in the end, it's the team of developers that makes the decisions about how they do it.

Of all the claims that this article makes about Agile, I haven't spotted even a single one that's correct. All of them are quite obviously false. The article is a piece of junk.

Let's say you host your site on your own server at www.example.com. You want that to be served by HTTPS. You also have a subdomain cdn.example.com for static assets which is CNAME'd to a proper CDN that you want to use HTTPS with also.

With a wildcard cert, the third-party CDN would need your private key for your self-hosted www.example.com site. With different keys & certs per-site, the process is more modular.

I agree that wildcard certs would be great and I'll default to using them for the simplicity (e.g. temporarily activate a quick test.example.com site to check something works) but the ability to keep things modular is also great.
Two tips for startups to RECRUIT
3/4 of the planet is Water. If the cost of water reaches the cost of desalination, then it will become cost effective to desalinate.
Is Continuous Integration really dead?
Of course this is at its infancy. However, I think we can bring about a Roddenberry economy if we can survive long enough to perfect it.

First thing, we'll need unlimited, cheap power. A Mr. Fusion in your basement, or at least on your block, is not too much to hope for.

Second is ubiquitous printers. Whether by nano assembly, transmogrification of elements (unlimited power means you can make any element or molecule), or some other means, imagine throwing dirt in one end and getting out a Rolex or an I-beam or a steak dinner.

Given those, anything you'd want to buy with money from working, you'd just print. Material possessions would become meaningless, as would needing to work to afford them. Manufacturing, transporting, and retailing of material goods, restaurants, etc would go away. Service jobs can be largely automated away also.

So all that's left are thinking and creating type jobs, which might just pay the same as sitting on the couch but be more rewarding.

Would this actually be a pretty bad application of 3-d printing?

The reasons people are running into problems with global css scope is because they don't understand the basics of how to write effective and maintainable CSS. Seems like many front end devs nowadays grew up with css hand-holding libraries like bootstrap, and can't seem to wrap their heads around completely necessary things like taking account for CSS specificity and how the cascade works and how to use it to your advantage.
x509.CreateCertificate is used to creat the certificate (https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/x509/#CreateCertificate)

and is called by the CFSSL library, that has isCA = false as default (https://github.com/cloudflare/cfssl/blob/152152bec641f502651...)

Also it is verified that the CSR doesn't contain that field in Boulder: https://github.com/letsencrypt/boulder/blob/aa71088c440a63e1...

I don't know for other CAs, but from that quick look of the code boulder doesn't seem to sign certificates that can sign other certificates.

I wish i could find the article - it was circa 2010. Without proof i guess it's just a story, but i think a believable one.

So, there was this factory. A part broke, it would take 2 days to get the part from the supplier, but the whole line was dependent on the machine. They had a laser scintering 3d printer. they made a poor quality, but good enough for a few days use replacement. I think it was a broken tooth on a cog, the kind of thing that would be tough to mill without some decent expertise on hand.

In any case, i think that's more or less the future usage. If things are worth repairing, any parts made after the initial run would probably just be printed off. Pretty easy to imagine in a utility truck, or auto part warehouse.

This is quite an extraordinary statement, very likely to be false. Can you source it? The first article I found says:

From the LA times. So no more than 9%

Not facing who you just drafted against would be absolutely horrible. Magic sets are designed with draft in mind, and the draft tournament structure takes advantage of the rotating aspect of the draft portion. When you see your 14 potential picks, you know that a number of them are coming back to you and you get to pick another one later. You also know that every card you don't pick is potentially going to be in one of your opponent's decks.

Being aware of what's opened in a draft as well as what's being passed has an impact on how you pick (for example: tons of red cards keep going by - table isn't into red, so you can A) wheel red cards easier, and B) bank on not running into a hyper aggressive deck and build accordingly). If you were thrown into a match against someone who didn't draft at your table, they might have a deck that wasn't supported by the collective pool opened at your table and you'll be caught completely off guard.

I use Debian stable, dist-upgrading only a few weeks after each release.

Kernel modules are the main things that deteriorate, mostly the GPU support. It's normally a matter of changing the kernel version (I freeze the kernel every time I remember about it) or removing some old package that isn't permitting a clean upgrade.

Last time I reinstalled a desktop was in 2007 (I had 3, now I only have 2), because a Windows machine got a virus at the same LAN, and I wanted to be sure it didn't get anywhere. Last time I reinstalled a laptop was during the setup of my new one, this year, because I got a pretty messed-up set of kernel packages, and decided it were easier to just start from scratch.

I don't think that temporary part fabrication for critical assembly lines qualifies as overhyping 3d printing. That seems super reasonable :) A 3d printer in every house, completely removing the need for centralized manufacture or distribution, a bit moreso.
As a single example, some burglars, when deciding which house to burgle, chooses the house that appear to be easiest to get into (poor physical security, no dogs, no alarms) and that will be easy to escape from (many of them open doors and windows as escape routes before they actually start the stealing). They pick ones that aren't hosting a party. They pick the ones that have concealed (or at least not overlooked) access.

Shoplifters - get this - will often wait until there isn't someone standing next to them before taking something off the shelf. Sounds like a good go at rationality to me.

Of course rational thieves exist. Not hyper-rational fictional models, but rational. The degree of rationality is a spectrum, as always, and is affected by physical and mental health and various other factors, but if you think rational thieves are a new concept, then you're living in some kind of fantasy world.
Google doesn't even call them "A/B tests", they're just "experiments". And there are frequently more than 2 alternatives - the typical experiment I ran usually had about 4 arms, and there've been ones that go up to 51 (the infamous "41 shades of blue" experiment [1]). It's largely the press that has latched onto "A/B testing", along with the open-source and SaaS communities.

I disagree completely with your assertion, especially when the market forces are applied to vital natural resources tied to some sort of ridiculous notion like human money.

This is just for my home system, so that I can access everything via https without that annoying ssl cert warning. It's all run from a single server in the closet. I have an nginx instance facing outside, with http redirecting to https, and then each individual app accessed based on what subdomain you used (rss.xyz.com to get to my rss reader, vm.xyz.com to access my virtual machine management console, etc). At the moment I have 7 webapps running, and am in the process of adding an 8th.

The subdomains are somewhat dynamic, since I'll add more whenever I add a new webapp to the server.
I think it mostly has to do with Buddhism being seen by the majority of people, especially in the western world, as an oriental philosophy and less as a religion like Christianity or Islam. So people outside of Buddhism feel sympathetic to the Dalai Lama and Buddhism in general, in a way that, for instance, an Islamic does not feel for the Pope.

It also helps that his messages are in general agreeable. The whole peace and meditation and good-will stuff has a very low potential for controversy.
