Redundancy: Good vs. Evil
http://dobbscodetalk.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&show=Redundancy-in-Programming-Languages.html&Itemid=29
As Walter Bright points out here, redundancy is often thought to be a bad thing when it comes to programming languages. But in fact, well-designed redundancy can dramatically improve productivity by uncovering errors early in the development process. Redundancy not only helps find errors, it helps produce better error messages, and helps the maintenance programmer in understanding the intent of the code.
A better navigation experience
http://blog.hyphen-ated.com/post/57791058052/a-better-navigation-experience
There are a number of solutions for dealing with complex rollover navigation structures. Deriving inspiration from hover intent and Amazon's mega dropdown, I tried achieve a combination of benefits while simplifying along the way. Goals include the use of a slight delay on initial launch and quick response over other nav and subnav items.
Location Privacy: What ypu need to know

Location-based services exploit location information to provide a variety of fancy applications. While amount of attractive quality of life enhancing applications are presented by location-based services, new threats are also brought in. Among these threats, perhaps the most important one is the intrusion of location privacy.

Dynamic CSS Tabs in Symfony
http://blog.thembid.com/index.php/2007/07/09/dynamic-css-tabs-in-symfony/
This solution is based on the Sliding Door technique with dynamic width and a rollover effect. The menu is defined using a plain HTML list and using CSS you get a gracefully degradable tabbed menu. PHP is used to automate most of the process so that maintenance is very easy. Easily adaptable to other frameworks.

Raising VC: The Due Diligence Process
http://www.markpeterdavis.com/getventure/2008/04/the-due-diligen.html
The due diligence process centers around the belief that it is more effective to assess granular aspects of a business than a business as a whole.

To illustrate this imagine that you are an automotive mechanic. One day a car owner drives up and asks you to appraise the general condition of his car so that he can sell it. While seeing the shiny new paint job and hearing about the make of the vehicle, mileage and performance to date will be helpful, it is simply not enough information for you to guarantee that the car will perform well in the future. In order to make that assessment, you will need to evaluate all of the aspects of the car individually. You will check the breaks, test the engine and look at the tires. And then, if each of the cars key parts and processes seem to be in good shape you can conclude that the car as a whole is likely to perform well going forward. If all the things that make up the car are in excellent condition, you can more reliably conclude that the car as a whole is in excellent condition.

This same logic applies to conducting due diligence on companies. Investors that simply look at the type of company, how long it has been around and how it has performed to date will typically not make as reliable judgments about the future viability of the company as an investor who takes a look at all of the individual aspects of a business that are required to create future value. The process of conducting due diligence forces investors to carefully check the competency of the management, test the strength of customer demand and look at future competitive dynamics. If all of the parts of the company are well oiled, then it is safer to conclude that the company is ready to go the distance.

Measuring vs. Modeling
https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login/articles/14_geer-online_0.pdf
Dan Geer and Risk I/O Data Scientist Michael Roytman are featured in the USENIX Association’s Journal article, "Measuring vs. Modeling." Their article harks back to our long-running theme on focusing on remediating the vulnerabilities which _actually_ generate risk for your environment. Michael and Dan argue that using CVSS as a guide for remediation is not only ineffective at identifying vulnerabilities likely to be exploited, it is also a less cost-efficient way to run a security practice.

Twitter, the Company, Recognizing the Potential of Mobile Apps
http://blog.appboy.com/2010/04/twitter-the-company-recognizing-the-potential-of-mobile-apps/
We have known it for some time now, the mobile apps industry is where the future is. The numbers are not showing any indication of slowing down. Steve Jobs, at the iPhone 4.0 announcement, let us all know that the App Store is thriving with over 185,000 apps and 4 billion downloads. He also mentioned a few iPad numbers like 300,000 iPads sold in the first day and 450,000 sold until the day of the keynote. He also told us that over 250,000 iBooks were downloaded in day one and over 600,000 until the keynote. First day over 1 million app downloads and over 3 million by the keynote. These numbers are nothing short of insane.On a little bit of a lower scale, the Android Market benefitted from over 9,500 new apps last month alone.

Ask HN: What do you think about Intern JS testing framework/stack?
I am new to unit testing as well as functional testing. In functional testing, we needed - cross-browser testing with chrome/firefox and IE, AJAX tests, file upload test.

We started with selenium which seemed to have all features but the JAVA and complicated setup turned off our PHP & JavaScript team. So at that point I started exploring JS-based testing solutions.

I came across many solutions. The number of solutions confused me more rather than helping me.

This comparison table/page seemed helpful - http://theintern.io/#compare

As part of my habit, I tried to search HN archives to find views about shortlisted solutions.

To my surprise, HN has 3 threads for Intern JS and none of them got a single comment:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5666938

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7759227

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8155898

Surprisingly, other solutions had more discussions on HN. Example: nightwatch.js - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7156162

So I just wish to know if Intern JS is good choice for somebody writing test cases for first time? And can bit get things done without getting into JAVA or Selenium (it's fine if Selenium is used internally).

Focuth - time management tool for ITiers
http://focuth.com/
Focuth is a time\task management tool that allows you not only to manage your tasks but to track how productively you spent your time and concentrate on important things. Unlike many other time\task management tools it’s aimed to train your own productivity habits rather than to replace them with a software.

Who is it aimed for?
First of all for people who find themselves being hard to concentrate on their work, those who are easily distractable due to their work online. Also it is for people who’s hard to force themselves to create todo lists every day but they wish being organized. And of course it’s intended for IT people, those who spend much time online, since this is a web-based tool.

How it works?
Write any activity you are going to do and specify time to perform (or choose a thing from assigned for today). Even absolutely useless activity.
After you have done it, check whether the activity was useful or not. Afterwards you can analyse how productively you spent your time, and how good you are in time estimations.

Also the project has built-in todo list with an ability to split complex things on steps (subtasks).

The project is in its early beta stage so any feedback highly appreciated.
