Surprised nobody has mentioned it yet, but some of the best network engineers I know will use a combination of `tcptrace` and `xplot`. It's on the command line of course, but graphs can still be generated and I think it's more performant over a GUI (for large pcaps).

This is awesome and I love every bit of it. I just wished there was a login that I could associate my progress with it. Nice work!

Or they could have been doing something similar with cryptos without risking SEC or requiring ID on exchanges: using the twitter accounts to announce partnerships with one of the cryptocurrencies. Probably less gain then with stocks but more than with this simple scam.
This would have been excellent. It's really shocking that the offenders had the knowledge/power to get into the twitter account but didn't do something like this.

I actually had the same thought but with movie theatres. I think movie theatres would be highly effective as they could tightly pack many people into a room that they could not have otherwise. I feel as if they could generate profit and easily prevent boredom in the airport.
I sure wouldn't say "no" to a library either though.
I know absolutely nothing about music, but I find this to be really interesting! It makes we wonder what whackier ways exist yet.
I've always wondered if its possible to use a standard computer keyboard for this sort of thing. What are the main reasons that this wouldn't be possible or likely?
banterfoil commented on Psychedelic Mushrooms Are Closer to Medicinal Use nytimes.com/2018/10/03/sc... · Posted by u/anythingnonidin
I have a question about mushrooms that I don't often see get addressed. Psychedelic mushrooms nearly always are touted as medicinal tools and powerful substances for curing PTSD or depression.
However, in my own life, I don't suffer from any of these things. I am healthy, don't suffer from depression in any way, and am pretty satisfied with life.
I am mainly interested in psychedlic mushrooms out of curiosity. I have never had any experience similar to that, and it all sounds fascinating to me. Is it a good idea for a healthy person to try these "mind altering" substances strictly out of curiosity?
Someone here pointed to me about this guy[0] who was using Anki to optimize his study. And now, I was using Anki for a month and I found out that I can be more productive with it. You might want to try it by yourself too.
I've been using Anki for a number of years now, and I think it's a fantastic tool for retention. However, I have never had any success with learning concepts that were new or foreign to me. I use it for testing powers of 2, port numbers, and cli flags, niche python syntax. For learning "new" skills, I would say reading books and watching lectures is the best way for me.
banterfoil commented on Ask HN: Is anyone using the Windows 10 Subsytem for Linux? · Posted by u/rayvy
I have a raspberry pi in my home network with an SSH server. I then just use Putty or Git Bash and ssh into the pi to do my Linux related work from Windows. I need to work a little more with systemd and block devices, so I didn't think WSL would cut it for me.
I struggle with this too. Perspective is really what helps me. Any amount of money that you make can be high or low relative to who you are surrounding yourself with. Try volunteering at a homeless shelter or getting involved with Habitat for Humanity or something. It's hard to feel bad about your salary when you work with people that just want a bowl of soup. On the contrary, if you hang around with a more affluent group than yourself, you may be more likely to feel like you are not making enough. Take a look at mean/median salaries in your area [1]. You are doing fine!

I'm going to guess that the money has nothing to do with it.
You use $ as a way of keeping score and when you hear of others making more, you feel like you failed.
Bad news - no amount of money will fix that.
Good news - you can change it today with a real healthy and honest talk with yourself (and good friends who know you) to find out how you should define success.
Put it in your own terms. For me: I found much more happiness when I made a little less but increased my autonomy. It was huge for me. Like Night and day difference in my happiness.
Hope that helps
What do you mean by "increased autonomy"? Could you give some examples of what that looks like? Thanks
