As someone who has worked not very long with Ruby I have also stumbled upon the "!"-methods. It is a great convention - but as already noted, not consequently used.

Have a look at the insert method on array:

  insert(index, obj...) -> ary

From the signature and the convention one could think, that it returns a new array with the object(s) added at the specified index. However, insert mutates the array and returns a reference to the just mutated array, probably for chaining.

However, a convention that is not completely followed in the standard library like this does more harm than good as it can confuse newcomers. And you can not change it due to backwards compatibility.

Hah, a BOFH reference :-)

Nothing akward about that!

I have used the following image[1] on a server of my old company where we had a problem and no one with privileges was available. It gives you a root shell. I added my public key to the authorized_keys of root.

Haven't you read the paper? I cite: The author received no funding for this research.

I see. That makes sense, thank you.

Can anyone explain why it is not on the front page of HN as well? The post is 3 hours old, has over 500 upvotes and yet still is not to be seen on the front page.

It's Sonatype Nexus, Sonarqube is the code quality checker.

Sounds really inspiring and beautiful!

hi!

Thank you very much for sharing. Touching. Did not expect something like this in the comment section. You definitely made my day with this beautiful poem.

Shameless plug:

A friend of mine, Felix Barnsteiner, wrote a profiler for Java based applications, called stagemonitor [1]. He started working on it in 2013 for his masters thesis. Since then, he steadily worked on it in the company as well as in his spare time. Some months ago, he implemented support for distributed tracing. Stagemonitor implements Open Tracing. It also collects frontend performance data, called end user monitoring. They get correlated automatically. And the best thing about it: stagemonitor is free and open source (APL). Get in touch if you have any questions.

Liquibase is definitifely a good recommendation. We use it to update Oracle, postgreSQL, MariaDB as well as exporting the current schema as a hsqldb-script. Some migrations are only executed for some of our customers.

"This was the case until eighteen months ago, when I experienced a critical change in my circumstances, and was redeposited on these shores"

Marc Laidlaw left Valve in January 2016. The end of the post is also probably about Valve, as others have already figured out. I wonder what else there might be to discover.

Just FYI, more than one year has passed since the last release. The commit frequency has declined significantly. I use it, but I am not sure if I would recommend it in its current state. It does it's job and I like it, but the future is uncertain.

Awesome! Thats the great hacker spirit! May I ask how much time it took you to accomplish this?

Hi Simon, thank you for that reflected statement! May I ask you in which city you live?

I am a developer living in Munich. I started my first full time job in last november with 49k€ entry-level salary (Christmas bonus included). I have got a masters degree in computer science. My project lead (who has not studied) told me, that the requirement for having studied started being a thing in the last years - when he began, nobody asked for that.

Hah, I always suspected that authors of Golem.de are visiting HN. Congratulations for your finding! It is sad that Ask.com did not react. I thought that journalists would have a better chance to provoke responses.

I think it was on HN some time ago: https://github.com/codedance/Retaliation

I enjoyed your writeup too. If I had to choose between being able to low level do everything without having a high level understanding of how they fit together and on the other hand having this high level understanding with no low level applying skills I would definitely choose the high level view. It is IMHO far more valuable to know how they fit together.

Unfortunately I have observed exactly the described behaviour on myself from time to time. You have also described the thoughts I have regarding this. Sometimes I procrastinate to prevent possible negative outcome of things I am not sure if I am able to solve them and focus on things I am certain I am able to instead. I am someone who gets up late and I feel way too happy if am able to be on time while getting up late. Can anyone provide more information regarding this?

Thanks for that series. I think about digging into machine learning in my masters thesis, but I am uncertain about the problem space. Maybe will this article help me to better understand good applications for ML.

Ah, thanks for that information!

Does it support hardware-decoding of H264 High 10 Profile (10-bit)? The RPi 2 has no hardware support for decoding this AFAIK and is therefore not able to play such videos.

The same author refers to another article of him, in which he explains the basics of buffer overflows quite nice. https://dhavalkapil.com/blogs/Buffer-Overflow-Exploit/

Oh, I just had the joy to connect an application of the company I am working at with Telelingua. Everything went really well.

I know the probability tends to be zero, but is it Telelingua?

Haven't been on the limit yet, but i have a small bash-script which will revalidate them. I have a TODO to revalidate once manually when it is near expiration. If the script works, i will probably throw it in a cronjob.
