Rails - Rspec - Testing Your Modules
http://www.dotnetguy.co.uk/post/2012/08/26/rails-rspec-testing-your-modules/
I have been working on a project recently where modules are used extensively to share behaviour between model classes. I was looking to use an example from the system but they were all overly complex and detracted from the subject - testing modules. So in the following contrived example I will show you how to test the behavior of a module using rspec. The following “Pointless” module adds a class method which will scramble a class name…. doesn’t get more pointless than that!

The overworked american
http://users.ipfw.edu/ruflethe/american.html
Juliet B. Schor (b. 1955) is a professor at Harvard University, where she is both Senior Lecturer on Economics and also Director of Women's Studies. In her book The Overworked American: The Unexpected Decline of Leisure (1991), she analyzes some surprising trends-historic, economic, and cultural-in the world of work, with a particular emphasis on the American worker. In the following excerpt from The Overworked American, Schor examines the shifting balance between work and leisure time, a phenomenon of late twentieth-century life that has produced increasing stress on the individual, the family, and society as a whole. Citing the constant increase in productivity since midcentury, she asks, "Why has leisure been such a conspicuous casualty of prosperity?" To answer the question she probes the values of our culture, examines consumer habits in our four-decade-long national spending spree, and critiques the economic ideals of American capitalism.

Bob Mathews: "Pressing"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XOFlTM9sqC8
My first real job was with CableData and my first "Big Boss" was its founder Bob Mathews. Bob was a visionary; foreseeing online on-demand video entertainment, networked gaming platforms and other digital services long before Apple, Google, etc.

He was also a relentless and intense leader. When I worked there (in my very early 20's), I was kind of afraid of him. But he was nice to me and I think a bit of his work ethic rubbed off on me.

When it comes to financial concerns, most people would want to have a more convenient means to iron out their financial problems. Easy and fast process is usually what we are looking for.

Simulation tools to predict system failure? (aka AWS downtime)
I think it will be a while before we know the exact reasons behind the EC2 outage. At first blush it appears to be a kind of cascading system failure, e.g: networking error causes EBS mirroring which causes other failures.

What kind of simulation tools exist to model these kinds of failures? Is there an overlap in tools that you might use to simulate mechanical systems (gulf oil spill or fukushima daiichi) that map into computer systems like AWS?

How to get an amazing website for $99/mo.
https://320ny.com/packages/
So we've been dealing with the consulting cash flow roller coaster for some time now and decided generating more recurring revenue was probably a smart move.

One idea we had (thanks to advice/guidance from the likes of Brennan Dunn, Nathan Barry, Amy Hoy, and Patrick Mackenzie) was consulting as a service. We realized there were many business owners out there who struggled with the various template sites (Wordpress, Wix, Web.com) but didn't have thousands to spend on custom development.

So we created a simple $99/month package which included everything clients needed (design, updates, and hosting) via Squarespace. The price point seems to be working well so far and clients get a quasi-custom site built without having to deal with anything tech related which they love.

Curious what everyone thinks of the concept (good and bad)?

Juicer.headrun- Web Scraping Service
http://juicer.headrun.com/
Juicer is a web crawling and processing service.
Web crawlers. Spiders. Indexing. They are all essential aspects of not only web searches, but of simply scouring the web for information. Without crawling, we wouldn’t have updated information on our favorite websites or search engines at all.
Web crawling’s not a simple business though, which is why Google spends millions per year on the task. Not a lot of small businesses can afford the price of crawling billions of web pages, although they could really use that type of information.

Ask HN: Does this exist? Hardware to inject html into http requests.
I was talking with a friend today about a project he was working on and was stumped by a question he had. He asked if there existed any sort of hardware which would let you intercept all HTTP requests made over a network which could also potentially add/inject custom html into whatever page was requested. It also seemed like he wanted it to be programmatic as well. Meaning based on the url, he wanted to inject different things.

We talked about a few ways to create one (Arduino kit, Custom Router firmware, etc) but I wasn't sure if anything already existed. It sounded like a tiny pc with 2 network jacks sitting in between the internet and the WAN port on a router could work.

Thoughts?
