Facial recognition cctv, the other day some protesters in South America shot down a drone using lasers, and now this? Clearly the precursor to Ed-209. The future is here I guess. Is it what we wanted?

Once I worked at a place where ooh support accidentally pasted an entire maint guide into putty (right click paste is not a good idea) on a prod oracle server, it was fine until the lines in the doc which read: Dbfile1 -> /path&#x2F

Why are they loads better btw? I think in composable commands, being able to cat my logs without first setting them up to pipe to a syslog is something I very much want...

Have you used openbsd for anything lately? Systemd is better than the horrible mess of upstart/sysv etc, although the one linux laptop I run is using void (and thus, runit) and you can type init 6 and it doesn’t randomly hang for 2 min

I dunno about that, the majority of ops guys I work with (or have worked with over the last few years) dislike it... we’re mostly angry old greybeards though.

I tend to approach such tasks by just copying and editing a unit that shipped with the os (e.g sshd) — the example the post gives as being problematic is using some timer feature instead of cron and I suppose my question is really: who is d

You can send epub to your send to kindle email address with the word “convert” in the subject line and it’ll transform it into a mobi... as far as I know.. Edit: apparently you need to change the extension to .zip for it to work shrug

A lot of the buildings in Berlin have very old pipes and while the water to the building is alright, we (in Berlin) have to rely mainly on glass bottles of water (bismark) as if you don’t run the taps enough there’s a nice colour that com

Can you elaborate on your experience with it? Is that thing really worth €820? I like the idea of a giant e-reader but that’s really quite a lot of money for such a device.

I think there’s a difference between scanning all incoming mail for spam and keeping a details list of my purchase history by scanning my inbox for receipts somehow... If they aren’t using this data for context ads it must be being used for

It’s part of OpenBSD who can’t use git for licensing reasons and the switch from cvs->svn isn’t really worth it. There is a git mirror on github and you can work on that and submit diffs to the mailing list if you’re worried about having

If you’re looking for something bigger for aircrack etc I use al alfa networks “AWUS036NHA” which is 5dB and you can pick up off amazon for about 30 euro. For normal dongles a search for “Anadol Gold Line Wifi AWL150 Micro 150Mbit/s US

I would be carful; if you think sap people are billed a lot per day you should see how much we’re invoiced for murex consultants. Not the sort of companies who play nice on these sorts of issues. Just my 0.02

Kind of curious also how this works. If they’re in YC surely someone must have noticed? Murex is in use in all the banks I’ve worked at in the last 5 years, it’s rather well known?

How will reaching the end of Moore’s law cause a crash like this? Do you mean that future requirements will outstrip capacity? I don’t think this has been true for some time, we run a lot more systems and tend to scale horizontally; doublin

I can’t speak for the simplicity, but by all accounts the backend of this system is (it was at some point) a single ec2 instance and is a single person project. Granted that person is cpercival but whatever :) https://www.tarsnap

Added to my to-read list; thanks! Do you have any other recommendations?

Kafka is probably the only one I would recommend not reading first. If you were to summarise the plot it in a few sentences it would put a lot of people off, in murakami land though he can write a story about a guy killing his father and sl

Give banana yashimoto’s kitchen a go. Besides her and murakmi I am rather derelict on the Japanese authors read front tho... Hopeful for some pointers here too. I would highly recommend wind up bird cronicle and Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and

This can almost certainly be avoided by typing “:set paste” before entering insert mode and pasting. Give it a try!
