Germans figured this out a long time ago with their "Auftragstaktik". In a scenario of asymmetrical warfare, you don't wanna be rigid and stringent with command control, you have to allow capable and independent teams to carry out specific missions and then review their performance afterwards and I don't see any prob extending or porting this to the business domain and to startups in particular.

Depends if the network has memory. If you can publish a "this key is compromised" message then at least you can take down your own identity so the thief can't use it, and work on re-establishing a new one.

I have my double-click speed set so high, I don't imagine I would ever run into that one. However, I stopped using thunderbird a decade ago when it corrupted my mailbox when my homedir ran out of space. Twice. From two different bugs.

Our social constructions heavily influence how "Men and women, on average, differ significantly on career choice, likes, dislikes, and motivation," (from grandparent comment). In Spain and Italy and Portugal, math occupies a very different social role than it does in the US. In particular, it's not seen as so thoroughly unfeminine. This is one reason there are so many fabulous women mathematicians from Spain, Italy, and Portugal, and why they stay there rather than moving to the US for academic positions.

I think the GP has a point but sort of a weak understanding of what people are selecting for. We change the characteristics we find most important about many jobs to make them fit the gender roles our society has. It's not the act/job alone, it's the role in society. In Malaysia being a programmer is a job that doesn't require mythical powers, so it's close to 50-50 in gender split. In Italy being a mathematician does not stereotypically require brilliance, Asperger's, or general social ineptitude, so it's ok for women. Being a schoolteacher in the US has shifted from a prestigious starter job for educated men who could keep discipline, "a stepping-stone on [the] way to careers in the church or the law" (colonial times, 1800s) to a job for nurturing women who love children (today) [1]. And we can look at computer science: women went from being the original "computers" and programmers to being... not suited to it (?). Right, not interested. For innate reasons.

I get this by using vagrant + ansible rather than docker. Easy to spin up or destroy the environment in the same way in a VM, staging server or live environment.

I don't really see the point of lightweight virtualization. It provides an illusion of isolation which will likely come crashing down at some probably very inconvenient point (e.g. when you discover a bug caused by a different version of glibc or a different kernel).
There are numerous LINQ to X providers, such as DbLinq[1].

Certainly for university teachers we don't want to solely go on 'intelligence'. Looking back at my university career the correlation between how good a teacher someone was and how they ranked globally as researchers within their field was at best very weakly correlated. In fact I think hiring undergraduate lecturers based on their research performance is a pretty flawed idea, but that's a different debate.
How is this considered unethical? If you know X will buy loads of shares of an equity and you learned that fact legally through (presumably) public channels, are you A) a scoundrel, or B) smart, for buying shares before X buys those shares?

When somebody does something out of the ordinary it's necessarily considered a "game" (read "scam") by the majority establishment.

The reality is that the index is buying the stock because it views it as a good value, meaning that it is currently "under-priced". The index could be then viewed as unethical for "stealing" the shares away from current holders at a lower price than their intrinsic value, unless they were to tell somebody first... like a "frontrunner". In most cases, the largest entity is viewed as corrupt and evil, because it has the means to make the most efficient decisions and capture all the value, but somehow indexes are regarded as altruistic cooperatives.

They're not. S&P is owned by McGraw Hill Financial ($5 billion revenue), CME Group ($3 billion revenue), and News Corp ($33 billion revenue).

So if i'm following this right, querying the builtin DNS server for a .key actually triggers DHT lookup and NAT setup? That's a cunning hack.

How are NAT entries recycled? Also couldn't SNI be used here to do this via a single IP?
Yes. However, the question is "are apple displays "sufficiently high DPI"". They are higher DPI than most other displays - but that is not the same thing.
The most common pro is "Build once deploy everywhere" even is possible, I always feel pushing a 500 MB tar image to the production servers is more an annoyance than being helpful; Yes, You can setup your own registry but maintaining the service, securing, adding user permissions and maybe use a proper backend like S3 is an extra annoying layer and another component that could fail.

If the docker tool will have something like `docker serve` and start his own local registry will be more than great.

For this case when I switch to Go was a great solution, building the binary is everything you need.

About docker being helpful for development, definitively yes, I switch to postgres, elasticsearch and redis containers instead of installing them on my computer, is easy to flush and restart and having different versions of services is also more manageable
I've read about this and watched all the clips multiple times. It's really interesting and I'd love to see more stories like this.
I think LLBLGen still has the most mature Linq > SQL translator and supports most major databases, as they have an intermediate query model between the LINQ expression trees and database providers. Unfortunately only available with generated code, no code-first support.

If you receive that many threats on twitter, then leave twitter. It's not like you walk out of your residence every morning and every car passing by is yelling rape threats at you. It's not like you're getting on the bus and being yelled at. It's not like you're going to work and having your coworkers threaten you. Some assholes sent you digital messages on a website. That's it. Leave the website if it is such a problem.

It has more to do with the pay disparity between nurses and doctors, rather than gender, these days.

NASA has the brains to design a better odometer but navigating by stars and GPS makes more sense.

Also, remember the +/-3% next time you're comparing a used cars. Worrying about 5-6,000 miles on a car with 100,000 is pointless since the odometer itself lies by up to 3,000 miles. Then you have further error introduced by new sets of tires which wear down 6-15mm depending on their tread depth and can vary several mm in diameter despite having the same nominal size as the OEM tires.

> docker and openVZ aim to do the same thing.

docker is a process container not a system container.

> docker is a glorified chroot and cgroup wrapper.

that is fairly immaterial, suffice to say that the underlying linux core tech that enables docker has matured enough lately to enable a tool like docker. I built many containers and I never thought about them in terms of the underlying tech.

> There is also a library of prebuilt docker images (think of it as a tar of a chroot)

yes

> and a library of automated build instructions

more accurate to say there is a well defined SDL for defining containers.

> You will hear a lot about build once, deploy anywhere. whilst true in theory, your mileage will vary.

have to agree, this is oversold as most of the config lives in attached volumes and needs to be managed outside of the container.

> However if you wish to assign ip addresses to each service, docker is not really mature enough for that. Yes its possible, but not very nice. You're better off looking at KVM or vmware.

Have to disagree here, primarily because each service should live in each own container, docker is a process container, not a system container. Assemble a system out of several containers, don't mash it all up into one - most people don't seem to get this about docker.

> There is also no easy hot migration. So there is no real solution for HA clustering of non-HA images. (once again possible, but not without lots of lifting, Vmware provides it with a couple of clicks.)

None is required. Containers are ephemeral and generally don't need to be migrated, they are simply destroyed and started where needed. Requiring 'hot migration' in the docker universe generally means you are doing it wrong. Not to say that there is no place for that.

As a final note, all my docker hosts are kvm vm's.

Designer wants to code
So I've been working as graphic/web designer for a couple years now. Definitely wouldn't call myself a professional, but still pretty experienced.

Finally I decided that it will be in my interest to at least know how to do basic coding. My question is: where to start? I know there's plenty of resources but maybe some of you can share your personal story about learning code as a designer.
You can still have security even with a single flat address space, provided you create some capability model or enforce communication boundaries in some other way. From then on memory protection is on a different level than the process.
You're being pretty pedantic at this point. If an individual reproduces, then none of that individual's traits were sufficiently selected against. That's also not a guarantee that all their traits will carry on in new lines. There's also no guarantee that their children will be fit, due to differing traits or changing environment.

I'm not convinced that Greece is 100% in the euro right now. Greek aren't able to draw 3-digit quantities of euros from the banks.

Maybe this is temporary; and maybe it's not, in which case isn't "Free movement of capital" (1) which has already de facto lapsed, supposed to be be a key part of "being on the euro"?

If the Greeks are deprived of access to Euros from banks for long enough, won't alternative currencies of some form, be it bitcoins or cigarettes (2), gain use instead?

That's useful, My webmail (yandex) has this feature too.

I think such notifications is not what this ticket is about. Not just because technically in this use case favicon is replaced, not animated.

The ticket IMHO is about favicons which constantly move.

In any case, if I don't like a web site (its favicon, or the content) I don't use it; I personally don't see the anymated favicons as a serious problem and wouldn't spend any hour of my time working on it. Moreover we don't have right to demand it from FireFox team.

Although I understand the author of this post, I sometimes feel annoyed by certain features or problems in software too. Give it some time, and you will forget about it :)

I think it would be possible to configure noscript to allow scripts, but require a click to play media (I haven't actually tried it like that, since I just keep almost all scripts blocked anyway).
It isn't. Our deployment process is very simple, we download the configuration, and we download the container. This is extremely scriptable and repeatable. We have push-button deploys and don't mind rebuilding. That said, we do have a more mature pipeline, so it may be an issue for other people.

Hackers,

Cringley's PBS series Triumph Of The Nerds (available on YouTube),

Some not mentioned so far (as I write):

The ancient, online Jargon File is a large glossary that captures a lot of early computer subculture through its lexicon. Eric S. Raymond maintains it today, but it originated way back in the 1970s: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/

"American Experience," on PBS, did a stellar documentary on the origins of Silicon Valley and the pervasive startup mentality there. It's all about the rise of the semiconductor industry, starting with transistors. Watch online: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/silicon/

Dropping LSD was, it turns out, crucial to the origins of personal computing! This I learned from Jaron Lanier and Kevin Kelly, who recommended John Markoff's What The Dormouse Said: http://www.amazon.com/What-Dormouse-Said-Personal-Computer-e...

The Difference Engine: Charles Babbage and the Quest to Build the First Computer is a short book but also a fun read. Doron Swade, technology historian and assistant director of London's Science Museum, races to build a copy of Charles Babbage's "difference engine" before the anniversary of said machine; he tells his travails in building it while giving Charles Babbage's story at the same time: http://www.amazon.com/Difference-Engine-Charles-Babbage-Comp...

No one has mentioned books covering the dark side of hacking. There are some great reads out there, and infosec is a crucial part of computer history.

CYBERPUNK: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier covers Kevin Mitnick, the Chaos Computer Club, and Robert Tappin Morris (who, somewhat inadvertently, wrote the first Internet worm). Mitnick disputes his section of the book, but it's fascinating nonetheless. Worth it for the Morris part alone: http://www.amazon.com/CYBERPUNK-Outlaws-Hackers-Computer-Fro...

The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage by Clifford Stoll is a fun read. Stoll is an astronomer by trade, and his analytical thinking can be an inspiration: http://www.amazon.com/The-Cuckoos-Egg-Tracking-Espionage/dp/...

The Watchman is a true crime thriller you won't be able to put down. The author set out to write a book on Mitnick but wound up detouring to do a story on Kevin Poulsen, who is now an excellent infosec writer at Wired. You will not believe what Poulsen does in this book. http://www.amazon.com/Watchman-Twisted-Crimes-Serial-Poulsen...

The Hacker Crackdown by acclaimed sci fi author Bruce Sterling is a great work on an infamous cross-country bust of many hackers. You'll get a look into the BBS subculture, Phrack Magazine, and the phreaker scene. http://www.amazon.com/Hacker-Crackdown-Disorder-Electronic-F...?

And let's not forget gaming:

Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture gives a great history of ID Software and the origins of the FPS: http://www.amazon.com/Masters-Doom-Created-Transformed-Cultu...
Configuration: We use environment variables for anything small-ish. For more complicated configurations, similar to omarforgotpwd, we keep the values (files AND environment variables) in S3 and download them at deploy time. For stage/prod differences we can literally diff the different S3 buckets.

Management: We create AMIs using Packer. Packer runs a provisioning tool which downloads tho container and the configuration and sets up the process monitoring. It then builds a machine image, and then we launch new servers.
Bitdash 3.0 Player – Added Apple HLS and Reduced Price
That really is the crux of the matter. Everyone should be given an equal chance with no prejudice, and then if population differences still emerge, that's OK.

Unfortunately there isn't much room for this middle ground. People who want to acknowledge sex difference want to use sex as a filter, e.g. "no women in combat roles." People who want to give everybody a chance also want to even things out, e.g. "Allow women in combat roles, and lower the standards for women so they have just as much of a chance as men have."

http://www.uvm.edu/~tribeta/Articles/Sex%20stereotypes%20Hal...

"Cleverly written with engaging prose, Delusions of Gender and Brain Storm contain enough citations and end notes to signal that they are also serious academic books. Fine and Jordan-Young ferret out exaggerated, unreplicated claims and other silliness regarding research on sex differences. The books are strongest in exposing research conclusions that are closer to fiction than science. They are weakest in failing to also point out differences that are supported by a body of carefully conducted and well-replicated research."

Fine can play the audience well but she does not do well in academic reviews outside of feminist circles.
