Slashdot Mirror

You may consider them clean but I don't. Their use is analogous to the "friend" keyword in C++, in that the fact you are doing it at all shows there's a deeper problem with your logic/system design. I've been a professional software developer for 35 years and

Whatever. I'm in 2 decades experience range myself.

In all that time I've never seen an example of code that breaks out of a loop early that was justifiable for either efficiency or readability, and where I couldn't easily write a much cleaner version that didn't.

Here, make this more readable two failure points in loop. Now trying making it more readable with 15 failure points within the loop.

If you think that goto, continue, break and return cannot solve problems with readability then you haven't seen enough problems.

There's more information than there should be, that's for sure.

Holy shit Slashdot! I knew using LastPass was a bad idea, but a "death sentence"?!?

^^^ This.

Many FOSS projects are all about the fun of programming them, not about having a user base. Such projects get put "out there" in the hopes that someone might someday find them useful, but it doesn't really matter to the people working on them whether they ever have a substantial user base, as long as it continues to be fun to program and work on the project.

If user base was what counted to me, I'd have abandoned MSS Code Factory years ago. To this day I've never had more than 100 or so downloads in a week, and usually more like 10-20. But it's fun. It keeps me entertained. And that is what really "matters" to me; not it's popularity.

"Popularity breeds contempt."

"It's theoretically possible for dm-crypt/luks to have a MacOS, WIndows, and FreeBSD driver (which would also probably require the filesystem drivers, as ext4 isn't well supported on those either), but it's not easy."

For Windows, you mean like https://github.com/t-d-k/Libre... (previously http://sourceforge.net/project...)

I for my part I'm waiting for a Lucene rewrite, regardless in what language.

Wait no longer. There is a rewrite in C++ called CLucene and another (not as mature) rewrite in pure C called Lucy.

MSys2 is more gooder. It incorporates pacman. As long as we're daring to broach a technical topic on /., I tried to compile paludis using mingw64 on Windows 8.1, and had a configure error for lacking posix_openpts().
Any C hackers know how you port around that tragic occurrence?

I've played around with ssh2dos on an HP 200LX (think 1990's "organizer"), and you can barely tell the difference between ssh and telnet on interactive sessions (which is precisely what the management interface on this NAS is). SCP is a different story, but that's not what this backdoor is about.

When you can have your code in 15 minutes, the design becomes the "hard" part. http://msscodefactory.sourceforge.net.

Code in 15 minutes is synonym for shit code. Like all consumer grade software code. And this shit is going to continue until software developers and/or the companies that spit out such shitty code are legally responsible for it. Something goes wrong, you fucking pay for it. No more of this bullshit "we build it, but if it crashes, burns your operations etc... it's none of my problem" mantra.

Decentralilsed, centralised, one guy coding is all irrelevant if all they spew out is shit code.

I've been reading a lot of economics the last few years, trying to figure out why it's so full of shit.
It seems mainstream (neoclassical/keynesian synthesis) economists believe in mathematics but don't believe in reality.
Their close kin the Austrians don't believe in mathematics either.
They both believe economies are in equilibrium, this is a fundamental assumption, and other nonsense like 'people behave rationally', 'people have perfect information' etc.
These are not a priori assumptions like a physicist might make but come out of their theories and without which they do not work. This does not phase them.

Along the way I have discovered System Dynamics, a way of modeling complex dynamic systems which seems well suited to studying economics. There is an economist using this, he has designed his own System Dynamics software called Minsky, and unlike Krugman, Rogoff et al. he makes a lot of sense.
His name is Steve Keen and you can get Minsky from here: Windows, Mac or here: Linux.
He has an excellent book: Debunking Economics and you will find him on YouTube too.

It's not famous or widely used, but my pet project MSS Code Factory started in 1998 and has kept me busy ever since. I think I'll finally be finished with it this year, though. I think it's time to find something new to occupy my mind and my time with. :D

If the .band files are audio-only, such as .aiff, then Audacity can play them. If they have MIDI files, you'll need to first export to wav/mp3/aiff/m4a/etc, then play them on anything.

Here is a list of alternatives for composing on Linux.

In about 1995 I was looking for a multi-user, multi tasking operating system for a new "operating and communications system".. I bought a copy of Coherent, and installed it on an old PC-AT. I was able to log in "remotely" over a serial cable! This was big news! Then, in a warehouse club-type store, I found a thick book about something called "Linux". It had several CDs inside, things like "Slackware", SuSe", and "RedHat". I tried all of them, and settled on RedHat 5.2 My first anti-Wintel box was an AMD system running at 50 mhz, with 4 mb of memory, and Red Hat Linux. This was SPARCL1, where the SPOCS system was born.

If you going to use a Linux distro for the most comparability that would be a Debian base OS. To have the largest and lights OS there are only 3 that come to mind. This would Avlinux, Musix,& Kxstudio, this are all Debian base and Ubuntu comparable. And most of very light on resources making then good contenders for multiple applications. Plus they all have a great application pool for additional software packages. The last one good be OpenSuse it comes with multiple boot options, and simple to use repositories. And it has great tools for installing software. Most of the tools that you will need will be installed by default with this distributions. As for the part of the adobe software just use 10% of you machines for other applications inside windows. If you have a limitation of budget you can start by VR the Windows PC and just purchase what you need. This will save on the amount of licensees you will have to purchase. You can purchase windows 7 pro and ultimate at low value and they will be supported till 2020. you can update with and WSUS offline software and to install other software for use ninite. To monitor you students teach lessons via the PC screen & messages Here are that links to all of the software https://ninite.com/ http://italc.sourceforge.net/ http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/dow... https://musixdistro.wordpress.... http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinu... http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org... http://www.linuxveda.com/2014/...

I'm the guy at work who rips out the Gnome/KDE window managers, installs Blackbox, and automatically runs terminal windows on login. When I use Linux, it's exclusively the command line. My coworkers hate using my laptop in a pinch, as they can't find their Red Hat certified asses without a GUI to guide them.

PySol Fan Club Edition is free (GPL 3), installs easily, and has a lot of features.

From the webpage:

PySolFC is a collection of more than 1000 solitaire card games. It is a fork of PySol Solitaire.

There are games that use the 52 card International Pattern deck, games for the 78 card Tarock deck, eight and ten suit Ganjifa games, Hanafuda games, Matrix games, Mahjongg games, and games for an original hexadecimal-based deck.

Its features include modern look and feel (uses Ttk widget set), multiple cardsets and tableau backgrounds, sound, unlimited undo, player statistics, a hint system, demo games, a solitaire wizard, support for user written plug-ins, an integrated HTML help browser, and lots of documentation.

Here you go.

EnvMan to the rescue.

It is presumably an attempt at a joke based on the fact that Forth makes use of RPN.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I for one find Forth to be a fascinating language. The fact that it has been around for a while does not diminish it in any way.

I first heard of it back in the 80's while learning assembler on the 6502. I noticed it again while getting to know FreeBSD (loader stage 3) and decided to finally learn it when I came across some old manuals and software for my newly acquired PET CBM 8032 just a few weeks ago.

Ever since, I seem to notice it mentioned more and more, perhaps partly because of renewed interest in stack machines, but also because it offers an interactive way to boot strap a very small system with minimal resources.

It is available in some form on almost every platform that I know.

Following are some resources that I have found to be of interest. Hopefully those sites will not get badly hurt.

My question is, how does this apply to DenyHosts?

My guess would be that I'm still safe... try root at all, instant ban. Try an invalid account, grace one time (even I make a typo sometimes). Try a valid account more than 3 times? Banned. Unless, of course, this attack somehow bypasses the mechanism DenyHosts uses to detect those invalid logins... but I don't know that I saw enough information in the article to answer that question.

the project denyhosts could help with that, by blocking the IPs that have too many fails. ref: http://denyhosts.sourceforge.n...

Perens, there are those who know better but pretend to not understand. This is one case.

Did you know blue iris uses the same GPL software source as FFMpeg? It does. Here's the smoking gun, specifically about blue iris but can be applied to many apps. I think you can follow this without further explanation, though (name) (blue iris reseller of sorts, you probably know of him) refused to believe it. You?

The simplest way to discover hidden GPL use in programs is to use strings.exe, found at sysinternals ( link to strings.exe package at TechNet Microsoft.com). But since the idea is to hide the use, the program is more often than not encrypted or compressed. To compress programs, one common method is to use UPX ( http://upx.sourceforge.net/ ), found at upx.sourceforce.net. Fortunately, UPX can also decompress what it has compressed. Again, since the idea is to hide what can be discovered by looking at strings (strings are text), the "UPX" markers are often removed, even though doing so is against the UPX license.

Find the EXEs or DLLs you want to investigate. This example uses the 32-bit version of BlueIris.exe, from one of its many 4.0.9.x releases.

    The main program is BlueIris.exe, sized at 7,768,416 bytes. However, this is the UPX-compressed size. How can you tell it's been compressed by UPX? Use a binary editor to look at the first KB of the file:

    (dump of first KB of blueiris.exe, showing UPX markers)

    If you don't see UPX that does not mean it was not UPX compressed since it's simple to overwrite the UPX characters with spaces. Often, UPX can still detect that it is a UPX-compressed binary so go ahead and try even if you don't see these markers.

    First thing, decompress the program using UPX with its -d option switch:

    C:\wk>upx.exe -d BlueIris.exe

All observations with the Parkes telescope, at least, are already public-access: the astronomers who gathered the data get a proprietary period of 18 months, but after that it's free for anyone to download. See here. You can search the archive here. The software used for processing the data is open-source, too: for example, this package. (There's a SourceForge page too, though I wouldn't be surprised to find that bundled with malware nowadays.) A paper with a detailed description of the algorithms behind it is also freely available online.

I agree that, as you say, too much science is pay-walled and locked up behind restricted access - but radio astronomy is a great example of a field which *doesn't* do this.

That is, sort of, an argument for TCP. But UDP is often preferred nonetheless... And increasingly so even for the traditionally TCP-applications, such as file-transfers.

The nicest thing I can say about FF is that it opened the floodgates, before Firefox/Phoenix/Mozilla Suite you had crappy IE, broken NS, and adware Opera.

Today there is Comodo Dragon (what I use, better security features and no phone home to Google) Chromium, SWIron, and Opera which my oldest boy swears is the greatest thing ever (hates the new version, went back to using presto) and on the gecko side there is PaleMoon (the other browser I use, I prefer the UI over IceDragon and it seems snappier), SeaMonkey, IceDragon, if you need really low resource there is always Kmeleon which runs really well even on a P3 running Win98SE and if you want to avoid BOTH the Chromium and Gecko engines you can go with QTWeb which is just what it says on the tin, a cross platform browser that uses Webkit and the QT framework...quite nice actually and of course Safari if you are into Apple.

I was using FF before it was called Firefox, and the Suite before that and....yeah, its just not very nice now. The UI feels like a bad Chrome ripoff and it still has "senior moments" where the entire UI can just "hang" for several seconds, which when you have 8 fricking cores and 16GB of RAM? is just inexcusable. I don't know what went wrong with Moz, but for the past few years they seem to have gone out of their way to just ruin the browser, do they no longer care? Has the UI team been taken over by Google? All I know is If I wanted Chrome I'd use Chrome and the current FF feels like a really bad Chrome knockoff, its the "Hipad" that looks kinda sorta like the real thing but once you use it? Yeah its just a knock off.
