I started with Hive and worked backwards. It gives you a nice SQL interface and allows you to do M/R operations on CSV files easily. Once you get the hang of it, going back towards raw M/R or even something like Cascading/Sca

I was taking the most simplistic approach. Your point is better than mine, but usually the argument I see is that "there are welfare queens, and that's not fair, therefore there shouldn't be welfare at all." I was more a

But at what level do we accept there's assholes and move on and not let them ruin it for all of us? If we have a program that helps 1 person and 1 person scams it, we might get rid of that program. What if it helps 10 for every 1 scamm

We had something like 40 NodeJS projects that were deployed with git or as tarballs. I wrote this bash script, and now they're all Debian packages. https://github.com/heartsucker/node-deb

When you sign a key, you can use the flag `--ask-cert-level` and it will prompt you to specify on a scale of 1-3 how careful you were. This would be a case when you could specify a lower number (namely, 1). Personally, I save level 3 signat

Oh lawrd. I need to stop writing blog posts in vim. Thanks for the catch.

Ha. I was targeted by this auction specifically. The odd thing is whoever is behind this went through the trouble of posting it to the SecureDrop instance behind BerlinLeaks. https://heartsucker.com/blog/children-at-pla

The best alternative to running `curl | bash` is still... `curl | bash`. Please tell me this is missing a commit.

My guess: they can't respond to everything, so with some randomness legitimate security concerns don't get an official response.

Ok, sure. It's not a universal human right, but we can do better than the absolute minimum to give some semblance of equality to people instead of leaving people's lives to the fate of where they were born in the world and how ric

You can buy unlocked Android phones and run whatever custom Android ROM you want (Cyanogenmod, Paranoid Android, etc.). The situation isn't as dire as you make it seem.

Cyanogenmod has a feature that lets you randomize the numbers on the keyboard each time you try to unlock it, if you use a PIN.

Think of it reverse. Is it a universal right to have luxurious places to live in a high demand area? Why would people who want to move into or remain in SF on a budget not want to change that? This is why issues like this are complicated. B

Yes, I have spent a lot of time out in nature and parks, and I generally am aware of not leaving a trace or litter. However, with something like a banana peel, I'd rather it end up as tree food the in a landfill, so I usually toss them

So if your favorite activity is functional programming, do you really think you're going to have a lot in common with people in bars and clubs? Or is the stereotypical person in one of those places really who you're looking for?

You sound very sure about that, but then 25 years ago people probably would have thought it unthinkable for all of their photos, connections, and personal posts on a single platform (facebook, etc.). Paying $200 for someone else's AR d

This is my whole point. If it is art to someone, then it is art. Let's say there's some country that considers the the exact dishes are organized in a cabinet to be art (pretty sure this isn't a thing anywhere). People have c
