I agree with what you wrote, and add that you should make sure that your service's executables and scripts also should not be owned by the user they run as. It's unfortunately very common to install, for example, a project as the

Thank you! I didn't have many options at the time, having a small family to provide for, so I went back to work as a software developer. The career has been good. I regret not being able to be a professor and devote more time to res

I had picked my advisor at the start of my PhD. I also had 2 backups. My pick was on sabbatical my first year. He and I agreed I'd load up on the required classes that year. He e-mailed me right before the year ended saying he had c

https://www.fugue88.ws/ I regret the TLD. I also run my email server there. Telling people my email address, I have to go character by character. Oh well! :-)

I still run djbdns as well, as both an authoritative server and a caching resolver. The biggest downside to djbdns, to me, is its lack of DNSSEC support. There are patches available for that, but my distro doesn't package them and I h

Instead of changing the escape, you can tap it one more time. So, to drop your 2nd (nested) connection: ~ ~ .

Yes, you're exposed to MITM. But if you permantly mark the cert as trusted, and the MITM goes away, you'll know somethings has changed. You'll be blind as to which way things changed, but at least you'll know to investigate.

Great question! Unfortunately, I don't think you can. If you use CA certs to trust site certs, the site certs can change on the fly (i.e. be replaced with an NSA interloper) without you knowing. If you kill your CA certs, and mark individu

We could use GPG for normal e-mail correspondence. But I really don't know if this would do anything more than delay any problems. In a similar vein, I've deleted all the trusted root CA certs from my computer, and am now marking individua

To be fair, naming a bill is a lot of work, maybe over half of what goes into the whole package.

Corn products are stuffed into maple syrup? I think you got that backwards: we stuff a little flavoring into corn syrup and then call it maple!

To use story points, you would have a linear model of some sort so that you could calculate how long, on average, a story point would take to complete. If you know how to do that (the model), you could apply the exact same technique to the

Ditto. When I had problems with my wrists, I started to play the piano, a lot. I would bang on the keys fortzando and make a lot of noise (the noise got better over time :). I also had a small stress ball that I would squeeze as hard as I

We adjusted by changing the order to count, attack, place (cf attack, count, place, as I remember). If the 1st player goes on a major offensive their first turn, they end up spreading themselves thin, so this balanced things out a lot.

"Dramatically improve Sun's hardware performance...." I think they're going to use the CPU simulator Sun used to design a processor (the T1) optimized for MySQL (I think it was) to make a new processor optimized for Oracle. Just my 2 cents.

It seems that the more the site focuses on bids, the more likely this is to happen. Bidding systems inherently ignore distinctive qualities of at least one side of the transaction. In this case, it treats programmers as commodities, and so

It sounds like you want to rewrite Sandy ( http://www.iwantsandy.com/ ), which is good because they're closing down. They show several examples of commands that Sandy accepts. That might help give you a little direction designing your syst

That's called simple interest, as opposed to compounding interest.

I've read that way the number is stated also affects the range. For example, 100 has a large negotiating range than 90, and 90 larger than 92. I haven't had a change to use this yet, though....

I appreciate your comment and your reasoning. Here is one argument for local taxes paying for local schools: it gives the influence over education to the locals. It's conceivable that when schools accept federal funding, they are also oblig

Nice idea. The formatting is messed up in my browser, FF3: the star usually appears above the gig, sometimes to the left. Horizontal lines often run through the middle of the text. I assume that clicking the star indicates your preference
