Why is the javascript: pseudo protocol still a wide-open attack vector? Is it because of the potential for beneficial bookmarklets? It feels like there's a new attack on major sites every day.
I would go to MIT, Mark.

You sound like someone who would love to work on projects helping profs. MIT is one of the best places for that.

Looking around the internet (and researching lots on MIT as a grad school), I find that professors there are thought leaders of the fields. The work they do is about 15-20 years ahead of the rest of the world. And it doesn't seem like work.

I can understand your financial situation. However, you DO get summers to work and make money. Once you have a school such as that AND projects that you mentioned on your resume, lucrative summer jobs will be easy to find. Trust me on that, I essentially work for 4 months then go to school for 4 months.

Also, credit history aside, make sure you atleast apply for student loans. It has been my experience that once banks/govts see your promising future (and thus their financial security), they are more willing to shell out some dough.
I made this comment awhile ago:

For myself, there are two things that are really pissing me off: 1) Lack of security by default, 2) Lack of choice in client-side scripting. I am at the whim of JavaScript which is pretty terrible. Of course, there is no hope of anyone producing a browser that offers an API, and a set of languages that can access that API. So it's just JS. That's fucked to me. I have more gripes but I'd like to keep this post short.
On the server side, it's easier. We have more choices, because our clients are not tied into a specific server technology; I used to write PHP, but since then I moved on to something that's a lot more thought out for serving webpages. MVC is the ideal for this kind of thing. The server will give the browser what it wants, and this does not concern the customer. On the browser end? We are screwed. There is quite likely nowhere to go.
Unfortunately, we have four big companies (Google, Microsoft, Mozilla and Opera) pouring in a lot of money to keep this technology afloat. And it's very sad. These companies should be leading the way, not holding back technology.

Glad to see things are moving forward. I hope this leads to a more general API later on down the road.

I never liked this argument. If you weigh up the disadvantage of the possibility of Steam going under in the future and your games being rendered unplayable with the advantages of instant updating, single social interface and ease of delivery that Steam provides I like to think that it's a good example of the consumer winning.

To me it's a bit like suggesting that you should just photocopy a book rather than buying it because if you buy it the pages may wear out one day.
You are thinking at too abstract a level. First of all, IO is not "randomly" triggered, it's entirely predictable how it works. Composability allows you to define a scope that globally applicable like (eg. "published articles") and then add additional constraints in a controller (eg. "tagged X") using the logic of relational algebra to construct a sane query. Could this query be slow? Sure, it's still your responsibility to make sure the schema supports that query. Writing SQL manually does not absolve you of that responsibility, it just means organizing a lot of SQL strings somehow.

Here's what you're missing, and why ActiveRecord works: if you halfway know what you're doing with a RDBMS, 95-99% of the time the query generation just saves you writing a lot of boilerplate SQL. It's true that sometimes you have to drop to a lower level to hand-craft a query, but ActiveRecord in no way prevents that. Again, I don't know what kind of ORM hell you have been put through, but I assure you that an ORM does not need to be this horrendous performance killing black box that you think it is.
Classifying science sounds like a boring application of this algorithm. I'd be more interested to see it used for spontaneously identifying groups of related publications any kind, such as blogs.
Trying to get some clarity around this commit. As I understand it this addresses usecases where an element's boolean property is set to true, and .attr() is called as a getter for said property, correct?

Eg

$(optionElement)
.prop('selected', true)
.attr('selected'); // undefined in 1.6, "selected" in 1.6.1
Generators (yield) look very nice, especially when combined with deferred functions. The nicer scoping of let/const and yield are the two things I prefer of gjs (which is built on top of Spidermonkey, which supports those features) over Node.
This would eventually get to be true, but it would probably take a stupidly long time: it won't happen until people have actually seen the long term results of things multiple times.

Also, short-term thinking is fairly hardwired into humans. That won't go away until it somehow stops people from getting laid, which is amazingly unlikely and would certainly require more than indefinite lifespan.

That will be 10 or 20 years from now, Steam's convenience is today. If it really becomes an issue, some form of piracy will always be available to recover those games.

20 years ago games came on floppies and ran on DOS. If I want to play one today, the legality of my copy is really the least of the hurdles.
The Unwritten Laws of Engineering: What the Beginner Needs to Learn at Once
For what it's worth, statistical machine learning and other CS people have recently "discovered" classical convex analysis - for the last few years papers have been full of stochastic subgradients and the like. The next big thing has got to be the material on decompositions from the 50s and 60s.

Okay since I'm just getting driveby downvotes, let me explain the source of my comment. The original comment said:

> That also leads me to mention that Github, as good as it is in 'social' coding or whatever that means, does not fill a gap for a proper resource on how to use Git.

Well, Scott Chacon (#4 githubber I believe?) wrote the book to demystify Git. Of course, there is a certain irreducible complexity there, but I think Github has made a significant contribution there, so I don't think it's fair to level this criticism at them out of passing unfamiliarity.

Not sure if you've had a somewhat popular library on Github but those two lines of code save me lots and lots of issues being opened because the library didn't work out of the box.

Perhaps I could add an optional setting to include those lines of code...but that's the beauty of open source -- so can you :).
Yup, nailed it. Electricity didn't come to my area until the late 1940s; as far as I can tell, my house wasn't actually wired until the mid-60s.
That's sample code and it uses the easiest data storage readily available. Not sure what the issue is with that. Obviously you'd change it to suit your needs.
I think taking Mr. Robertson at face value about the industry demands and the purposes behind them is a mistake. We already have an Amazon service with no current legal action, and we'll soon have similar services from Apple and Google.

The music industry is excellent at providing 100 objections or hoops to jump through for licensing while they're really just delaying your offering until a favored son's (AAPL) service launches. Many of the rest of the objections will come down to dollar figures. Oh, yeah, we can forget about that concern as long as you lose a little on the back end.

Let's not forget that Michael has historically been no real friend of the industry, and entertainment lawyers don't quickly forget things like that. Ten+ years ago the the two industries were more or less at war, and music was loosing. Around the time that napster got huge and got sued like crazy, and industry players like AOL music had staff dropping decentralized p2p code written on company time, my.mp3.com was born. It let anyone that stuck the physical cd into their computer claim ownership of it and have access to it in the cloud, or whatever nonsense we were calling it then. The very easy to read nod and a wink involved there was that you could borrow your friends cd's at work, wherever and in just a few minutes "rip" them all and have access without all the muss of actually ripping and copying them.

The labels shut it down then, and they're unlikely to have forgotten who he is.
You can actually combine generators with pseudo-deferred functions today in normal JavaScript 1.7+. For example, see async.js (https://github.com/eligrey/async.js). Disclaimer: I wrote the library.
My impression was this is a test bed for new language features, not a fork of the language or implementation of any particular future standard.

You don't need to convince me; you need to convince the music industry - and to be honest I don't think your arguments are strong enough.

A small percentage of people actually steal music (I believe it's like 9%)

Where did you get that number? Most studies I've seen estimate between 25 and 50% of music consumer pirate at least some. Here's a random article:

Recently Entertainment Media Research conducted a survey with 1,500 UK residents and discovered that the number of music fans downloading music illegally actually dropped to 39 percent, a whopping 4 percent difference from last year’s statistics.

http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Music-Illegal-Download-MP3,news-...

The RIAA says:

NPD reports that only 37 percent of music acquired by U.S. consumers in 2009 was paid for.

http://www.riaa.com/faq.php

(Yes, it's the RIAA... but that's the music industry.. the people you need to convince)

The % of people who steal isn't likely to go up just because storing files online through Amazon's PAID service (keep in mind these people are stealing because they don't like paying for things) makes it easier to access your music.

That's where you and the music industry disagree very strongly - and in their defense I think they have a case. They look at the precedent of people paying for blank CDs to copy their friends CDs to, and say "well, why won't one person just go to their friends place and let them download their entire collection from Amazon".
Coming up with extremes is a really valuable skill. So clever.
I'm pretty sure that it does have regularization. The optimization process penalizes model complexity in addition to maximizing the fit to the data.
well, that's the danger of MLAT treaties in this time of multinational corporations. even though ahimsa.i.o was hosted in london, the datacenter facility was owned by rackspace which was based in the USA so they had to comply with the MLAT request initiated by the dutch. it was a shitty deal, but certainly not rackspace's fault completely.

On the syntactic level SQL is just a poorly designed language. LINQ query expressions actually do a better job of expressing the semantics of the SQL-like set/collection operations, in a compositional manner. It's definitely true though that SQL databases currently have a lot of capabilities (like, errmm, DML) that at least the Microsoft ORMs don't support other than by dropping down to SQL. I don't think this is a problem with the LINQ IQueryable paradigm, though, but just a problem with the Microsoft ORMs being incomplete.

I don't have much experience with ORMs or mapping frameworks other than LINQ-based ones, but it seems like it would be pretty difficult to typecheck queries expressed as SQL strings, at least dynamic ones, at compile time. Do the frameworks you mention typecheck the actual query itself at compile time, or do they just check at runtime that the data returned from the query matches what you want?

I think you are going a bit overboard, sure Sony may not be the Sony they were in the 80s or 90s, but they do still make quality hardware.

The Playstation 3 is probably the most reliable console (hardware wise) out of the current generation consoles, I have not had any issues with mine and neither has anyone that I know personally, I can't say the same for the Xbox 360.

I bought a Sony Vaio Z 13" a few years ago and it has stood up to a lot without any issues, sure it may be very light and feel a bit "plasticy" but it is surprisingly tough.

Both of my brothers bought Sony LCD's a few years ago and they have not had any issues.

A friend of mine works in the geek squad as a home theater installer and by far the least reliable name brand TV's are made by Samsung, Sony is one of the more reliable brands.
When you are focused on "the idea" you cannot see the forest for the trees. When you are more familiar with the execution and what it takes to go from idea to successful product you realize that the idea is a smaller part of the equation then you originally thought.

Do you think that great companies like Netflix, Amazon or facebook are really doing anything revolutionary from the idea stand point? A movie rental chain, a department store and party line. They are simple everyday things that are worked upon very hard for years until they finally become a success.

I am in the opposite position. So many "good enough" ideas that is is hard to choose which one I want to be married to for the next 3 to 5 years.

It's not as fun as it sounds. Advent Axys, a portfolio management system I used to work with, has a whole reporting language called RepLang that uses notation like this.

Congrats! I use Colourlovers a lot and I think it's a great service. My application requires a lot of palettes (I can "themes"), over 200 of them, all of which come from Colourlovers. I tried to use Kuler, but it's just not as good.
Colourlovers is a cool site. I'm not a colour geek, but I can appreciate what darius has achieved (and congrats) with cultivating such a large community and I'm glad it has worked out financially well for the team.

I'm just as curious as anyone how CL will monetize this since I'm not the target audience but whatever it is, it will be interesting to watch.
Tell the FCC what you think about the T-Mobile Buyout
The idea would not go away, but there is a lot of strong evidence that it would diminish significantly. Two hundred years ago an average woman in the US would have had 7-8 live births by the time she was 30, a hundred years ago it was 3.5, and today it is around 2. Better birth control and better options for how women want to live their lives can explain a large part of the second drop, but the drop from 1800-1900 was almost completely because of increasing lifespans and increasing standards of living. The change would not happen in a single generation, but just observing what happens as countries transition out of third-world poverty over the last fifty years has provided a lot of justification for claiming that it would not take too many generations for birth rates to adjust quite radically.
Wish I could comment on the comment below but...

The point is, these people are stealing already, and the difference in the ease of stealing using what's already available and the ease of using Amazon is not that big of a difference, and the current stealing techniques don't cost a monthly fee. I don't see people switching to Amazon for all of their theft. As someone pointed out, Amazon could easily monitor this behavior and turn these people in. At least with the current theft you aren't being watched by a big company with a vested interest in you paying for your music.
I bought Portal 2, I got bored of it after the few hours of gameplay it has, and I wanted to let my girlfriend play it (who has just finished Portal 1). Can't do that without giving her my login.

That alone means Steam games are worth perhaps only 30% of retail price to me; but they are not priced like that in the UK. They're usually 10-30% more expensive than e.g. Amazon.

These are the biggest kinds of problems I have with DRM, when it's not something like Securom complaining that I'm running Process Explorer.

"Price the product well: At $8 a month, Hasting said the streaming service is priced so that people who use it once or twice a month will still find value and come back. And those who use it once or twice a week will rave about it to friends."

This is such a powerful statement for any business.

Price it so that occasional use sees value and heavy use becomes fanatical supporters.

APPLE ARE YOU LISTENING! :P
The particular case I just mentioned is extraordinarily well known.. it involved a Maryland mayor. It's a decent guess that any person on internet forums such as this that is talking about police unjustly using no-knock raids and shooting family pets is talking about this particular case.

I was dismayed to find the batteries had corroded and ruined my trusty HP-41C, which I bought back in '82. I loved that calculator. I programmed my first hack on it. You could set a flag to run the first program in memory on startup. If someone walked away from their desk, I would grab their HP, write a program to turn the calculator off, then set the flag. It was fun prank, and it actually got a few people interested in learning how to program theirs.
Someone (not I) downvoted you presumably because you didn't indicate what was your issue with the quoted material. Do you want a clarification? Do you disagree? Do you think it was a typo? Are you offended?

A sole question mark does not content make.
I should explain more in the FAQ. We're currently working on that.

What defines a contact? A person? An email adress?

A contact is its own entity. Each contact can have multiple email addresses, a location, organization, keywords etc.. Just click on the edit link in the contact card to add another email address to that contact. If you still have an issue then let me know.

For some contacts it is not catching conversations from as recently as 4/25 and 4/29. Does it take a while to catch up?

It only starts caching conversations going forward. We only go back about 24 hours when you sign up.

Where do I manage contacts? In Gmail or SharePad? What happens if I delete one in SharePad? In Gmail?

You manage them in either place. All contacts are synced in real time back to Google Contacts and vice versa. Whatever you do in Sharepad or vice versa will be reflected in the other.

Also, I am not sure what is supposed to happen when I click on (what I assume) is the contact's photo. Right now, I just see a gray square with a magnifyin glass.

No contact photo upload yet. That magnifying glass will go away if you type in a location for the contact and will be replaced with a clickable google map.

Thanks for your questions. You can email me at fred@gosharepad.com for any others or post them here if you like.
The problem is that this need is already served well by cable and satellite service. If video is the only killer app you have for this bandwidth then it will never get built.

Lucky for you that that RAM, SSD, and additional drive in the Optibay are fairly standard and can follow you to the new system unless Apple uses different RAM in the next rev. I am in a similar boat and the only thing that gnaws at me is that when I bought the 8G of RAM it was around $600 and now you can get it for close to $200 -- the RAM has depreciated faster than any other part of my laptop.
