So I can't post something to my own corkpage? Or is it by design in order to ....

Please tell me what I should replace the ellipses with. :)

I had an account with ING Direct and when I created it they asked me what I would like to name it, so I simply entered "checking". Little did I know that you could also use that name as your login name (I always logged in using my account #, I thought the account name was just for display).

Took a few weeks to figure out why I kept getting locked out. Turns out the username "checking" is a pretty popular guess.

Nice, I didn't know about that vim feature, thanks!

Ya, I remember those. My friends and I would always wave to the cabooseman (I doubt that's the right word, but I really like it) as it went by, and he would usually wave back at us.

Or maybe it's just a human behavior problem, and unfortunately it may take a few accidents of this type to train ourselves that AI assist doesn't mean we can lessen our attention.

Especially after hearing about incidents like this, you won't find me going through my email while letting "autopilot" do its thing. I don't think I would before this, but there's certainly a lower probability that I would now. I'm being trained.

It does look like it has some modern equipment, probably for the reasons you mention. In this picture you can see a wheel, some throttle controls, and some screens which I'm guessing are for GPS and/or sonar. It's still an amazing feat, much respect.

And, while not quite the same thing, if you are a user of iTerm2, it includes the script "imgcat" that will display an image directly in the terminal window.

This isn't the original link, but I found this from 2016-03-07: http://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2016/03/07/announcing-sql-se...

It took them an hour to figure out that their connectivity issues were caused by losing power to an entire Availability Zone? Maybe they should add an alert for "AZ has no power" or put it on a dashboard...

I'm joking of course, but that's what ran through my mind while reading that timeline.

You would probably still want to be selective about which tattoos you get and where they are placed. Each session can create scar tissue which could be noticeable even if the ink fades completely, and it can be harder to tattoo over scar tissue as well.

Scarring isn't guaranteed, and to a large extent depends on the artist knowing what they're doing, but still something to consider.

From my understanding, the zinc release is part of the natural process and they just passively observe it.

I agree. And, sometimes the "artist's impression" is fairly decent when it's done by someone with a technical background drawing (no pun intended) from actual scientific data to make educated guesses. I realize that isn't the norm, but I've seen a case of it.

"Yale has gained 13.7 percent annually over the past two decades."

Safari kept crashing for me (and occasionally other apps, but don't know if related, just thought they were buggy apps) on my iPhone 5. I originally thought it was a problem with some sites being horribly broken, but it was also happening on mainstream sites such as wsj.com.

After I installed the 9.3 update, the crashes stopped. Maybe the firmware update and device reset clears that database.

Or it could be completely unrelated. Whichever, that's my anecdote.

Also annoying is that in order to watch a video overview of many of their products (ie. Elasticsearch 2.0, Beats, Watcher, Shield, ES-Hadoop) I have to register (name, email, use case).

Sorry, I'm not going to register just to watch the videos.

I haven't hit their site yet, but I don't think they're saying you need Elixir to build this kind of project. I think it's more along the lines of needing Elixir to build a tutorial series for Elixir.

As for the benefits of using Elixir, I'm not qualified to answer that since I've only skimmed the surface of what Elixir is (but it looks intriguing!).

If you are using Firefox, you can also use the Add-on "HackTheWeb" [1] that automates the suggestion by moron4hire.

Right-click on the page, and select "HackTheWeb". Whatever page element you hover your pointer over will be given a red border, and then you use hotkeys to perform actions.

To do the same thing as the example above, it would be: right-click on page, select HackTheWeb, point mouse at the content you want, hit "w" (widen) until you have the whole section you want, and then "i" (isolate) to remove everything else. From there you're ready to print to PDF.

For some reason I had to be viewing the actual README.md file, not looking at GitHub's auto-readme-display.

HackTheWeb also lets you view the element's javascript, show the xpath of element, and convert text to black on white (very useful for content whose text and background colors don't work well together).

I've used it for several years, and wouldn't want to give it up. It's based on the old Aardvark add-on that did the same kind of thing, but Aardvark wasn't updated as Firefox matured and eventually no longer worked.

Maybe I read it the wrong way, but by "another IE6 situation", I took the comment to mean that Firefox is the new IE6, likening Chrome's position to Firefox's at the time.

You have a lot of new stuff being designed & tested using Chrome, with some site breakage if using Firefox. Similar to several years ago when releasing sites that "work best with Firefox" (complete with badge images stating such), leaving IE6 users with a lesser experience.

I was going to say that I just use Wordpad for that (and I have), but after checking out the site I have to say that this is actually easier since I don't have to manually adjust the text size. Nice work.

> Why would a CSO get involved unless they specifically think that the data has been accessed...

The most likely reason I can think of is that he was getting some heat from some other C*O.

Edit: Now that Alex's side of the story has been released, his actions don't seem out of line (assuming it's reasonably accurate, and I have no reason to suspect it isn't).

While my explanation is still a valid answer, I agree with the parent. Sounds like he was just doing his job. Though it would be interesting to listen to the audio of the conference call....

I think they make the bulk of their money* off of Atlas, which is a subscription service that ties together and automates a lot of their free products. They also have a paid add-on to Vagrant for VMware support.

* I would also bet they do consulting & support for companies that are using their products, and/or other automation advice. Whether that accounts for more or less revenue than Atlas, I have no idea :)

Very cool. I used Cloud9 for an edX course last year. I have to admit I was pretty skeptical of an online IDE, but it worked surprisingly well (it was a Rails project).

I do much the same, though in my case I would change it from 'weird "future" accounts' to 'weird future "accounts"'. I use a software package called You Need A Budget [1], which is essentially a virtual version of the old envelope system of budgeting. I'll create spending categories such as "new roof" or "2016 summer vacation" and then divide the expected cost by the number of months I expect will occur before the event.

Then, each month I toss that amount into that month's category. So, if I suspect I'll be replacing my roof in 3 years for about $10,000, then I will be adding $277.77 per month. Hopefully my estimation was correct and when I need to replace the roof, there's no financial stress since I'll have about $10,000 sitting in my "new roof" account.

That "account" though is virtual, not a real separate account. Though I do have a separate real account I'll use to hold high-dollar/long-term future savings. But that's just a little paranoia on my side, not wanting to keep all of my eggs in one basket, so to speak. It's just in case something weird happens, like an unauthorized ACH run on my checking account or my wife splits with the debit card and drains it completely on week long bender in Las Vegas. At least the larger value "accounts" or "envelopes" would be unaffected. So, the money set aside for items like a new roof, rebuild of deck, next car, etc., is safe and sound in their own separate savings account.

It works well for car repairs, which I recently confirmed. I always put $100 each month into my "car repairs" envelope. I went about 6 months with no significant repairs and then got hit by two repairs within two weeks for a total cost of about $470. I must admit I really enjoyed the lack of stress over the bill. I simply paid the man his money and drove away still having $130 in that category and it'll continue to increase by $100 per month.

The YouNeedABudget.com style of budgeting has immensely improved my financial situation. It's a Mac app with a companion iOS app, but a similar method is used by the good folks at everydollar.com [2]. Their app is web-based but they also have Android-based apps.

Well. This post meandered about a bit more than I had intended :)

I was going to say much the same. As I have gotten older (46yo currently), I've come to realize that my thoughts are generally the same as when I was a teenager. It was a rather enlightening moment when I discovered it was true for a great many people that I would consider old.

Sure, I know more things, but forgotten others. I like to think the former outnumber the latter. Perhaps I'm wiser. Perhaps not.

But, for the most part, I still have the same thoughts as before, be they wonder, delight, dirty, sad. Hopefully I will express the correct ones at the proper times, but probably won't.

I found it fascinating when I realized that most others are in the same boat. The guy standing next to me at the bank might be 73 but he is obviously enthralled with the pretty teller behind the window, and I'm sure that if I told him a dirty joke, or even one that disparages someone's race, gender, or religion, we would both laugh because we are too old to care about political correctness, and besides, we are thinking like the teenagers we feel we are, anyway.

And we'll laugh without guilt because we understand that a joke can be funny and still not lower our respect of those that resemble the characters in our jokes, and I hope others are telling equally funny jokes with characters bearing a striking resemblance to myself.

To me it doesn't matter if the rules were unreasonable or not. If you accept an offer under specific rules, you have voluntarily bound yourself to them (moral, regardless of legal).

Yes. Well, relatively recently. I did it just a couple of years ago.

I think I read somewhere that the Skylake chips will have support for the new xpoint 3d memory. I would be surprised if it became commercially available this soon, but it would be great to have a MBP with the new xeon and xpoint memory instead of the SSD. The xpoint memory is supposed to be as much as 1,000x faster than SSD while drawing less power and having a lot more write-cycles.

I would be really interested in that, too. I'm more of a backend guy, not an artist, and I think I would benefit from watching designers do their thing. Not so I could be a designer, but just to know their tools and workflow.

Ya, apparently it's been around longer than I thought. They have a blog entry [1] announcing the bootstrapping in November of 2013.
