Ask HN: How did your plans for 2010 work out?
Now that the end of 2010 is nearly upon us, and many of us may be thinking about what we're going to try to accomplish in 2011, perhaps its time to review how we did against our stated 2010 goals?

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1013531

In my case I got the big raise (and big increase in responsibility) I worked hard for. How did the rest of you do? How do your successes or failures in 2010 shape your plans for 2011?

Introduction to Software Development on SAP HANA
https://open.sap.com/course/hana1
With SAP HANA, you have the opportunity to build applications that integrate the business logic, control logic, and the database layer with unprecedented performance. As a developer, one of the key questions is how you can minimize data movements. The more you can do directly on the data in memory next to the CPUs, the better the application will perform.

Health Care + IT: A Brave New World
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eduardo-garcia/healthcare-it-a-brave-new_b_2225719.html
The passing of the controversial $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in 2009 brought the subject of Medical Informatics to the forefront, among both consumers and health care professionals. The law provides $19 billion for health care companies to implement information technology systems such as Electronic Health Record (EHR), in order to make the industry more efficient. This is better known as Title XIII, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH).

Fullscreen browsing
https://medium.com/philosophy-logic/b82024b1d8e5
Hi,

I pictured myself as a final user to unveil some needs about a fullscreen browsing experience. It would be awesome to use browsers not only as a tool, but as a mean to live beautiful experiences.

We live fancy experiences through apps, movies, games and other medias, but even the greatest websites are wasted by an ugly and useless and omnipresent canvas: the browser top-bar. And the fullscreen modes are so badly designed that we are forced to bear that top-bar.

In this article I tried to explain how I'd love to experience browsing the web. Does it makes sense to you?
Africa’s exploding tech startup scene

Africa, with a population of 1 billion people, 50 percent of whom are under 30, connected as never before to the global community and with tools to build with that many more people can afford, is in the midst of a renaissance that could make the Bay Area’s last-century heyday seem like a footnote.

Google has removed the link to the "best" version of Google Scholar
http://scholar.google.ca/advanced_scholar_search?hl=en&sciui=2&as_sdt=0,5
I have used Google Scholar for the past 3 years to do free and quick legal research. My school gives us access to very expensive alternatives like WestLaw and Lexis Nexis but that doesn't help much except people who then go on to work at firms that can afford unlimited subscriptions to these services.<p>In that same period, I have watched Google Scholar actually regress in it's usefulness. I understand that it is not called Google Legal Research but the updates to the search format since I started using it have actually made it harder to do the type of research I need as I have learned to get better. The only "improvement" I've seen is to literally remove old improvements.<p>Up until at least last week, they allowed you to revert back to the old look with a link on the main Scholar page. That link now appears to be gone and I hope that they will not remove the feature completely since the old link location itself still works.<p>Google needs to, at a minimum, put the option of using the "old" version and, optimally, should reinstate the "old" version as the "new new" version plus some actual improvements.

Ask HN: Is it moral to indirectly aid a corrupt government?
Recently the article "How the Iranian Government Shut Off the Internet"[1] on HN was almost popular. It talked about the complexity of the Iran's decentralized infrastructures with technical implants to give officials more influence. What this report totally overlooked was the people who designed and implemented this complex system.

Yesterday, I watched an interview[2] with a former Iran's "National information network" project employee, claiming his intentions was to improve the security of the country in general but he is deeply unhappy that it has helped the government to shut off the Internet while killing people.

As a developer and a security expert myself working for a private sector company in Iran there is almost no day in my life without thinking about the morality of my work. I have never (or even intended to) work on projects like "National information network" or other similar projects.

Alas the problem does not end here. In a country with all the infrastructures controlled by government, naturally most of our customers are important government-affiliated organizations. Because of our company's position and considering the NDAs, the developers are not supposed to know the customers. Alas, this is just theory. I know a lot of our customers and some of them are pretty bad, very very bad, with bloody hands even in this weeks suppressions.

I don't think our product is used for killing people, but what if it indirectly aids those organizations to achieve their nasty goals? This question drives me crazy and I am not alone. There are lots of ethical developers in my country working directly or indirectly for such organizations. I have lots of friends, former employees of companies with censorship/monitoring projects that has left the country for new jobs. Seriously, what other options do we have?

Simple Auto-Lock Dead Man's Switch for OS X
After reading through an Ars article about the Ross Ulbricht trial, I came across an interesting tidbit on how they captured his computer and subsequent data:

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/01/silk-road-trial-fbi-reveals-whats-on-ross-ulbrichts-computer-in-open-court/

"[His computer] was a prize so important they literally snatched it out from underneath him, before they even arrested Ulbricht."

I don't endorse or condone his actions, but I know if I were in his position I would be overly paranoid about security.

I had a Bluetooth remote button lying around so I threw together this tiny Bash script. If the Bluetooth device doesn't show up, the machine auto locks. You can change the device name to anything, such as your phone, so when the device goes out of range, your machine locks.
