Given that a monkey with a typewriter could create the full works of Shakespeare with infinite time, could a monkey with a Perl interpreter create a valid Perl program that does your string processing in under 1 minute?
tame is easy and simple, which is a good thing, but comparing it to SELinux for ease of use is missing the point. SELinux is capable of providing very fine-grained access control depending on user, process and file contexts. tame is merely a syscall filter.

It's a good tool for dropping privileges from a process, but it doesn't even attempt to solve the same problem that SELinux does.

I definitely like the idea of preserving the source code of abandoned projects though. Ultimately, I'd like some equivalent of the "legal deposit" principle that applies to books and other printed works - some kind of scheme where source code, not just object code, for proprietary products eventually makes its way into the public domain. I'm not sure how this scheme would work, but I'd like it to happen.
As an aside, in the UK being rude as in using offensive language directed towards them twice is illegal and I think classed as assault.

We are not actively searching for investments yet, I think the YC Fellowship could be a great opportunity to get advices and contacts.

But I'd need some feedback: do you think we could be eligible for the fellowship?

Here are some details:

- startup in the SaaS space (collaboration tool for remote teams)

- 2 founders + 2 full time employees

- money: 300K USD from a previous exit by the founders

- private alpha in jan 2015, public beta since may 2015, service is still free for everybody (so: no revenues :)

- few hundred users

I'm not sure about the "no money from investors" requirement, what do you think?

I went to university at New Paltz, NY, which is a college town with a reputation for parties, though nothing horrific. Around the town, there were huge numbers of police (especially compared to the small population of the town) all seemingly trolling for petty drug arrests. They would pull college kids over for stuff like this all the time and use it as an excuse to search the car. While I never got the lane change excuse, I have been pulled over for not coming to a full stop at a stop sign multiple times, when I was either sure that I did come to a full stop or brought the car to a barely perceptible crawl for a long time while checking for other vehicles. When the officer would realize there were no drugs to find in the vehicle, they'd often become belligerent.

> I live in a low crime area

> I'm a white guy who's been pulled over so many times for no reason

Is there a correlation here?

Where I'm from you don't get pulled over for anything. The roads are a free-for-all wild west: taxis stop in the middle of the road in front of you for no reason. So many people die on the road every year. If you do get pulled over for a misdemeanor there is a good chance you can talk or bribe your way out of it and carry on with your reckless driving.

I would happily take a ticket for failing to indicate.

That is different from racial profiling and hate crimes. Don't confuse hard working cops doing their job with idiots with badges and guns.
Why the “Fail Fast” Philosophy Doesn’t Work
Employees may benefit from open salaries, but it is not at all clear they benefit from fixed compensation. By removing any option to bargain, wages can be kept suppressed by appeal to the system that defines them; collective action would be needed to negotiate a rise to everyone's salaries, and this is unappetizing to most. Currently, good negotiators can help to steadily float the compensation of all employees by raising the compensation percentiles across the board (good negotiators are likely spread across companies that compensate at different levels of the spectrum, based on field, ability etc), which are typically used by companies when calculating their opening offers to candidates.

So, open salaries are a good thing because they increase the number of good negotiators. Fixed salaries are not, because it eliminates all negotiators.

Well depends how you look at it. They are pretty much the same in many cases. There are plenty of "drugs" that aren't addictive and plenty of "medicines" that are. Is caffeine a medicine or a drug in your view? I don't see as much of a distinction as you would appear to.
> Tests are not supposed to be written with speed in mind

This is why the tests took 100 seconds in the first place. While I agree that speed isn't the number one priority for everything, Reducing the length of time your entire test suite takes to run to be doable on every single run of your framework is absolutely worthwhile.

The video starts with a woman who was given an information-only warning. Was that woman white or black? Officers don't know who they pull over, but they do know who they ticket and who they let off.

When someone says "I saw you driving fast behind me, and I got out of your way" the correct response is probably "oh, thank you maam, I misunderstood. Sorry for pulling you over. You have a nice day" or somesuch.

Indeed. Blatant honest racism is just one sort, but there is racism that is built into the system (like how white killers are mentally ill in the media, while black killers are called thugs), or unconsciously part of how you think (see http://www.forbes.com/sites/toddessig/2014/09/21/racism-from... ).

I am curious as to why DenyHosts is not mentioned in this context (beside fail2ban and sshguard. Is its use deprecated?

I ask because I administer about 300 servers with DenyHost grandfathered on the servers. I've googled a bit to see the relative merits and DH is just for ssh whereas fail2ban is more general.

I somehow didn't know about sshguard - it looks interesting (and also seems to do more than just ssh brute force blocking).

So... do I need to take DH off the herd and replace?

Towards the end of the video, the officer in fact alleged she had kicked him. It's not clear to me when that happened. Possibly her foot scraped his leg in the initial scuffle to pull her out of the car. Alternatively, it may have happened in the portion that is off video. Either way, the female police officer noted evidence of the scuff, presumably on his uniform. Incidental things like these seem to be taken as evidence of "assault" all too often.

> For decades it was Britain's best kept secret, the huge codebreaking operation centred around a Victorian mansion in Buckinghamshire, Bletchley Park. Despite the fact that at least 8000 people worked at Bletchley, and many others in listening and codebreaking centres across the country, no-one gave the secret away. And when the story did eventually begin to emerge, the star-studded heroes of Bletchley's narrative were men, led by the most famous cryptanalyst of them all, Alan Turing. In recent years, Hollywood blockbusters have cemented the reputation of those clever boffins, who have been credited with shortening the Second World War by many months.

> However, if you walked through the gates of Bletchley seventy years ago, you would have been struck not by the number of men working there but the number of young women. That's because by 1944 three quarters of Bletchley's workforce was made up of very young women, or girls, often just out of school.

> Tessa Dunlop speaks to some of those Bletchley girls, now in their late 80s and 90s, about their stories. Who were they and what did they do? Why were they selected to work in Britain's most secret organisation and what impact did Bletchley have on the rest of their lives?

For completeness I would include the closed form solution in a discussion of linear regression. In matrix notation is fairly simple and it's easy to follow how it falls apart when the assumptions underlying linear regression are not present in the data you're working with (homoskedasticity, independence of errors etc.)

You want fine grain in a steel and small carbides to have ability to get it screaming sharp. With ultra pure unalloyed steels it is insultingly easy to do so.

Congratulations! Step one: get launched and out of "build" mode well before the due date. Especially if you have a day job and this is a nights and weekends thing. Free time will be spent playing with the baby for the next several years. (That's a good thing!)

A couple thoughts on the actual mechanics of raising babies. First, breast feed. It's actually amazing that anybody would voluntarily put themselves through the hassle of dealing with bottles when there's this always-on supply ready to go. It's also the universal fix button. Plane's landing, baby starts crying? Stick a boob in his mouth. Sorted.

Cloth diapers vs. disposables. Cloth diapers are pretty impressive these days. They generally work, don't smell too bad, clean up fine, and are probably even cheaper in the long run. But here's the thing. Disposable diapers are made out of pure magic. You really have to see it to believe it. You know why we don't have Mars bases and hoverboards? Because every genius mind in the last 40 years has seemingly been working around the clock to make a single pair of Huggies Active Fit hold 15 gallons of urine without leaking. You can leave your kid in one for weeks on end if you feel like it. Honestly, it's the single greatest invention of all time, and they're like $0.25 per poop. Sorry cloth. Sorry environment. Disposables rule.

Good luck!
I guess what I meant by "professional" was more people with a formal education in computer science and some years of practical experience. It is just my impression that this is not so much the case here at HN.

This being said, I do not mean to be disrespectful towards someone who "only" has practical training (they may be older so that when they studied there was no formal computer-specific education).

edit: nice typo "sad" -> "said" ;)

Stored procedures may be all of those things, but they don't have to - it's just that most of the time, developers don't really care, so they have fancy versioning, deployment and continuous integration for all their code, except for stored procedures.

Here is interesting talk about database migrations and stored procedures and unit tests: http://www.pgcon.org/2013/schedule/events/615.en.html

Also, DB procedures are not easy to "debug" in the traditional way, but SQL client is basically the first REPL every programmer becomes familiar with. You can easily step stored procedure by running it's commands one by one, unless it's fancy Oracle forall loop with cursor or something (and the cursor select can still be selected as normal).

Also, databases tend to have more strong data types than programming languages in general so putting constraints in DB means, that bad data are not savable in the system.

Not frequently, but yes. Was forced to move from Oracle to Postgres, not that I mind Postgres. Very little software changes were required to get up and running. If everything was in views or stored procedures the change would have taken months instead of weeks.
Slashdot is differently moderated, but the overall comment quality (and s/n level within threads in general) is considerably lower than here. The editorial policy is also very different (in that it exists): Submissions are curated rather than solely bubbled by user moderation, so the submission s/n ratio is perhaps better (if you get article by feed rather than just surf the respective front pages), but we don't just come here for submitted links, do we?

Here, you can find expert level commentary on pretty much any field from philosophy to economics to law enforcement (aside from the technology experts that are a given), whereas in /. you generally have to dig deeper in a comment stream to find anything approaching the same value.
Slashdot was brilliant about 15 years ago.
