joshbaptisteon Show HN: Sysdig, a tool for Linux system exploration

I would like to know what's going more low level, Ktap gives a good break down how they differ from SystemTap, dynamically typed, byte-code design... etc

Is Sysdig design similar?

joshbaptisteon Open source has won the battle but is losing the war

Indeed... everything you posted is the exact opposite of my experience with stock Nexus 5 and my non-techie friends with their S5's and Galaxy Notes.

joshbaptisteon Ask HN: What's the worst you've ever screwed up at work?

In 2001 my first IT tech job as help desk analyst I heard beeping in the server room on one of the Solaris/Oracle machines and pressed the power off/power on button on the chassis. DBA came running in and I promptly left saying "oh I think it rebooted itself". The company went bankrupt shortly after so no huge lashing came my way but all my more experienced friends where like "wtf never do that again!"

joshbaptisteon Getting my sh*t together: 5 new weekly habits

On points 2 and 3 (Coffee with a stranger/Talk to a random girl), Pick up Artists (PUA's) get a lot of flak for being douches or just trying to sleep with a bunch of women but one thing they push that will help anyone in life is things that most introverts types just do not do, like how to chat with random strangers, pushing the envelope in all types of interactions and not being attached to outcomes. This has helped me out immensely in my personal and professional life. I like the guys from http://www.rsdnation.com/ as they give lots of free advice.

joshbaptisteon Kids, this is story of How I Met... my VPS hacked

Long story short, he was running an instance of JBoss that had a vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute commands as the Jboss user and ended up Bitcoin mining on his VPS. Isn't Jboss one of these bloated “enterprisey” JVM container frameworks? I would think something like Play/vert.x would suit the likes of a small VPS better.

joshbaptisteon Foursquare constantly tracking users' locations

The second portion of the post which explains how to capture traffic leaving your device is more informative and probably should have been the main thesis rather than focusing on Foursquare's non-surprising use of constant geo location updates.

joshbaptisteon 25Y Male making over $250K+ annually. Still stuck. Help?

I don't get this rush to have a full blown family in your early/mid twenties. I was terrified of having children in my twenties and just enjoyed travelling and hanging out with friends and not be tied down with such responsibilities. Now in my mid thirties I don't have this void feeling inside and ready for whatever my current long term relationship brings about.

joshbaptisteon The Micro Python Project

From the Kickstarter page:

Micro Python has the following features: Full implementation of the Python 3 grammar (but not yet all of Python's standard libraries).

Implements a lexer, parser, compiler, virtual machine and runtime.

Can execute files, and also has a command line interface (a read-evaluate-print-loop, or REPL).

Python code is compiled to a compressed byte code that runs on the built-in virtual machine.

.......

And a more exhaustive list on the page

joshbaptisteon The Micro Python Project

Heh.. same here also a backer , yet have no direct use case at the moment. Though I also own two Raspberry Pi's and a Beaglebone black that are fun to play with, I guess I just like the fact that this is just Python without the overhead of a complete Operating system.
