Not sure if it's actually serving traffic, but here's a teapot someone put a Raspberry Pi in: http://error418.net/

What are the current ways to make creating CloudFormation templates not so painful?

I found this series very helpful: https://medium.com/aws-activate-startup-blog

I think this was changed in iOS 8 http://developer.telerik.com/featured/scroll-event-change-io...

Same laptop but with the 3200 x 1800 screen. The pre-installed Ubuntu version was so slow; stuttering, major screen tearing, and HDPI font issues everywhere. Basically unusable. However, I updated the BIOS and installed Fedora 22. Had to install proprietary Broadcom WiFi drivers, but GNOME 3 works great with HDPI and the system is way more responsive. Touchscreen is a little useless though :)

That being said, I like the laptop with Fedora and would recommend it.

How is backwards compatibility with Docker? Say I make a container with 1.1.0. Can I still run it on Amazon Elastic Beanstalk (1.0.0)?

The general idea is to render the chart in a headless browser and grab a screenshot.

Search and rescue missions? People could tell the drone operator how to help.

As far as Django goes, there hasn't been much tuning in general[0]. The only thing I see them doing is template caching. At the least they should be running 1.6 with persistent DB connections. Beyond that they have a lot of middleware enabled that isn't being used.

If you'd like to apply to SpaceX go through another recruiter. I applied through Ryan a while back. He was unprofessional and kept getting mixed up with the schedule. In the end I did 6+ hours of phone interviews and a 4 hour coding test. I sent in my results and was completely ignored. No feedback, no response to my inquiries. Honestly one of the most insulting things that's ever happed to me.

Go on Linkedin, SpaceX has several other recruiters available.

sigh

> would generate it.

where is it stored though?

wait, where is this private key coming from then? your other devices?

So put that high entropy pass phrase in Keepass and don't worry about a cracker getting access to all your accounts through a misplaced hash. With all these sites getting attacked you have to assume anything you put in a website is public knowledge.

I mean, using a password safe is no more inconvenient than having to go to a website. When set up, the safe can even be a one click auto-fill deal. I don't see any reason to take the added risk.

When we do an analysis on something like this we assume the method of encryption is fully known. Otherwise it's called 'security through obscurity'[1]. If this method got popular at all crackers would automatically start checking all hash-like passwords.

I'm also completely ignoring what would happen if that site were compromised. A little javascript snippet could just forward all passwords to the hacker's server. Even a browser extension could be compromised if it auto-updates. These are implementation details though that could be fixed/worked around.

This is a prime example why you should leave crypto to the experts. This method in no way should be used.

Imagine one of your hashes leaks. A cracker can notice your password was a hash of something and just run their normal attacks on it for leaked password + salt hashes. They don't know the salt exactly, but it will likely be part of the leaking site's url.

Now the cracker can generate your password for any account you have. Great.

Please use Keepass or another password safe to generate pseudo-random hashes. These were designed by experts.

I'm graduating soon from a top university (not Ivy League though) with a masters in CS. I've interviewed with 4 companies so far and 2 of them have just never gotten back to me. One of them was after 4 interviews including a 4 hour coding test. I sent several emails, but just silence.

I can only attribute this behavior to cowardice. I guess they (HR) are just to afraid to be upfront. I apply to one company at a time so they have my full attention. Finding out I waited around for nothing makes me rage. It's so incredibly rude to treat people like that.

I want to start a list of companies that do this. Make them accountable, or at least keep people from wasting time.

In fact, here they are: SpaceX (4 hour code interview, then nothing), LogicMonitor

Since this is a small library the name should be descriptive. Unicorn and all the other animal names are fun, but should probably be reserved for large projects that aren't small building blocks.

Reading through the site I'm reminded of 5th Element's 'multipass'. You get a common REST syntax to transfer data across several languages. Playing off that could be fun; Multirest, Multiquest, etc.

Also, something with the Babel fish (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) could work; Babelrest, Babelquest...

I wonder what an actual artist could do with this. I was able to make a hallway by playing with perspective: http://zenphoton.com/#AAQAAkAB9gCNlAAKAbwA0AIzANAAVakBoQDyAk...

Also, you may want to integrate a URL shortener with the 'Share link' button... https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/javascript/...

I always thought it would be cool to do distributed cache in browsers with this technology. It would be like an organic CDN, automatically making the internet faster.

"Are we more intelligent than homo sapiens 3000 years ago?"

We might be. Unless the Flynn effect[0] is around to just make us feel good about ourselves. We only have data as far back as the 1930's, but this trend could have been around for a while.

Another note on the nav: when I zoom in on android there's a float element that covers a lot of content. Makes reading difficult.

One of the things I like about Foundation is their nested column syntax. I don't have to worry about how many columns I have to work with.

In Neat I have to write something like: @include span-columns(4 of 8); If I'm in a div with @include span-columns(8);

In Foundation I always just allocate 12 (default) columns no matter where I am. Shown here: https://gist.github.com/3009035

This makes the css much more reusable.

Neat looks like a nice, lighter weight alternative to Foundation, but I can't switch for this reason.

Vundle seems like it only takes care of the plugins. I'm looking for a vim install system, like Python's setup.py.

Thank you for showing how to use the plugins, most of these articles don't.

I looked at the rest of the site, bookmarked!

Can I make an article suggestion though? I'm a new(ish) vim user that is always on different systems. I need a way to quickly install/remove my vim settings and plugins. A tutorial how to do this would be awesome.

Take for granted vim and git are already installed, my ideal workflow would be something like this:

git clone git://blah.blah/my_settings.git ./my_settings/install.sh

Now I can run vim and my whole environment will be ready. If I make any changes I should be able to run git push to update the repository. Then I could run remove.sh to clean everything up.

Is there a system like this out there already?
