ipozgaj··on Please don't use Slack for FOSS projects
OSS (as the name suggests) is about *openness", and that's exactly the point where Slack is falling short and what the article is about.
ipozgaj··on Please don't use Slack for FOSS projects
IRC is constantly evolving as a protocol, and v3.3 is currently work in progress, so improvements are being made. See http://ircv3.net/
ipozgaj··on $250K a Year Is Not Middle Class
$250k is not the same in, for example, California and Iowa. If your family income is $250k in cities like San Francisco or New York, that definitely doesn't put you in 95-percentile.
ipozgaj··on France looking at banning Tor, blocking public Wi-Fi
Right, but my point was that the whole point of this legislation would be to prevent terrorists from using Tor. In reality, it would do nothing to stop them. Whoever really wants to have a way of communicating over an encrypted channel will always find a method of bypassing measures like this.
ipozgaj··on France looking at banning Tor, blocking public Wi-Fi
Even if they pass the law to ban Tor, you could still use it through an SSH tunnel, which is effectively undetectable.
ipozgaj··on Linux Performance Analysis
problem with (h)top is that it doesn't catch short-lived processes, and it displays only the most basics stats. For more detailed perf analysis you will likely be better with something like atop
ipozgaj··on PuTTY 0.66 fixes security vulnerability
I still don't understand why PuTTY got so popular (e.g. why not OpenSSH/Cygwin combo)
ipozgaj··on Why I Left the .NET Framework (2013)
tl;dr version - it's mostly about the portability, shortcomings of Windows as OS, and accompanying software (VS, TFS, IIS, MSSQL etc) being bloated. Zero critics about the .NET framework itself.
ipozgaj··on Pylsy: Python library to represent tabular data in ASCII tables
I've tried several of similar libraries, and still find `tabulate` the best.
ipozgaj··on In search of the perfect URL validation regex
A lot of these regexes miss the whole point of validation. The key problem that needs to be solved here is to find if a URL is syntactically correct. A lot of them focus on the semantics as well. Thus hardcoding the TLDs is not needed at all, so http://microsoft.com and http://microsoft.foobar should both be valid (I could have the latter in my /etc/hosts). Also, that's what the DNS is used for.
ipozgaj··on Show HN: My SSH server knows who you are
I do the same thing, plus I maintain a separate public/private key pair for every host where I need the pubkey auth.
ipozgaj··on Woman recruited by Google four times and rejected, joins age-discrimination suit
Google is well known in the Valley for having really bad interviewing process, but from this article it's not really obvious that's the case here, nor that she's being discriminated for her age. Her resume does look nice, but that tells us nothing about her skills or performance on the interviews.
ipozgaj··on The dangers of resetting everything at once
TSC overflow bug, see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/68466
ipozgaj··on GNU Hurd 0.6 released
"GNU Hurd runs on 32-bit x86 machines. A version running on 64-bit x86 (x86_64) machines is in progress".

This sounds just like "HURD is almost ready" back in 1990s
