At one point, I was making todo lists that included:

- things so easy they were guaranteed to be completed - things that I may or may not complete - things so impossible they were guaranteed NOT to be completed

This meant that every day I would defininitely finish some but not all of my list. This helped with getting started and also not beating myself up about the things I didn't accomplish.

Sorta. In most browsers you can manually delete the HSTS property on a per-domain basis. Presumably, anyone doing this knows the risks.

In Chrome, it's a real pain in the ass, and it's buried deeply. It's not available at all in the settings UI (not even in advanced settings).

You can type "badidea" at the warning page to skip it.

Changed to "This is unsafe" (followed by enter) in chrome 65. Try it at https://badssl.finn.io/

Doesn't work for me (anymore) in Chrome 65. Used to work.

I think it was changed to something like "thisisunsafe" now.

Just checked this on chrome 65 on https://badssl.finn.io/ seems to work (also need to press enter).

That's correct, tested it with https://badssl.finn.io/

Had no idea about that 'badidea' work around in chrome. Just tried it and it actually worked.

In Chrome, clearing the cache, clears the saved HSTS records which are not preloaded in the browser.

I don't see the DevOps Engineer role listed on the positions page. Are you still looking to hire for that one?

We filled that one last night, but please do send me your resume at bmiranda @ the name of the company . com

If authentication is cookie-based, you can use a Session object in python requests: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#ses....

If it uses http basic auth, it's even easier: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/authenticatio...

Requests is a fantastic library.

Thanks for the links! The harddrive in my server died recently so I haven't had a chance to get it up and running again yet, but I will definitely update the script once I do!

It's not an excerpt, it's a new article (by someone else) that is partially about McPhee.

I'm not 100%, but I think this has to do with a Hangouts setting: "Show when you were last active". If that is unchecked, it means that some users (some clients?) will always show you as offline.

Does this support unicode characters? Other encodings?

Yes. Part of the reason seemingly simple CSV are a pain is because it's often malform, badly formatted, with odd encodings in the file. We take care of that for you, so you can fix it or throw it out.

It seems like they are using a non-standard netstat switch:

  $ netstat -ep4ln --udp

Is that '4' a typo or something?

It's present in my netstat, from `net-tools 2.10-alpha`. Man page says it's shorthand for `--protocol=inet` (as opposed to `inet6`) which shows only IPv4 sockets.

It means only list ipv4 sockets. It's pretty standard across many command line network tools.

I like this! I've been thinking for a while that laws should be writter by game theorists, but I see that designers can be involved too.
