And I don't see it in the API documentation: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/photo/

I checked a 640x434 photo that I'd uploaded via API. As you said, they did recompress it, with a noticeable difference in quality. I had already set a reasonable web compression level. Their recompression reduced it only from 88KB to 84KB.
I agree..if you need to make about $100 for one day, the easiest would be to sell off items around your place that you are not using anymore.

We just sold a few things around the house and made about $250.
You may be confusing them with some of the Anonymous attacks from earlier this year. Lulzsec has claimed nothing but "doing it for the lulz" i.e., no real reason at all other than to do it. Anon has claimed to do some hacks for moral reasons.
At least in all of the pictures, there are no occupants in the cab.
1) You don't have to stay up to date with the latest. Pick a version and hunker down. I.e. 2.3.11. Forget about Rails3 for a year or 2 if you like (not me, I happen to really like rails 3). This is what I'd do if I was a part-time rails dev.

2) This couldn't be more incorrect. I'm not sure where you got this impression, but I have several apps in production I haven't touch in over a year. I don't even think I've bounced any services like apache or passenger on that box in over a year. I didn't do anything fancy to make this possible. Are you constantly upgrading your apps when new versions come out? Would you do that with a production EJB app?

3) This is true, but isn't specific to Rails or Ruby developers.

One thing I'll say is that Rails 3 definitely has a higher learning curve than 1 or 2 did. I think that's just the framework growing up though. It's a pretty complicated area of development if you want to build a decent sized app. If you're building something really simple and small, rails 3 might be overkill, at least for the time being until it settles down a bit.

>The big question is always, "How dangerous is skydiving?" Each year, about 30 people die in parachuting accidents in the United States, or roughly one person per 100,000 jumps. Look at the US Skydiving Incident Reports to get an idea of the types of problems that lead to fatalities. If you make one jump in a year, your chance of dying is 1 in 100,000.

I'm sure this is information they already had. If anything, it makes them look more organized.
That simply isn't true. I'd urge you to pick up a copy of Fowler's "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code."

"Refactoring" as a term was defined in that book. It has very much been diluted into "I changed some code because I think this is better," which is a shame because it has a very clear definition.

I should also note that having a test suite allows you to refactor with more confidence, but it's neither a requirement nor changes the definition at all. So a "TDD-assisted refactoring" isn't different from a "refactoring."
A pulse no longer necessary for life
Actually, the commenters are arguing about what languages are best used in those roles; e.g. C as "bottom C++", Python as "top C++" - or, indeed, C# as "Top C++".

C# is nice, but I wouldn't want to write a kernel in it.
Fun
this site is very different style so new look and daily update i really like this
Right. The article claims they're doing it on moral grounds though.
Hi. It's Iain from the BBC here. I wrote the piece. I took your comments on board and changed the line about DDoS leaving sites more open to attack.

The story now states that we don't know if Lulz went beyond a DDoS and took other info from the servers.

Cheers
Apple often removes any mention of the suppliers on the chips, sometimes cheekily putting Apple logos on chips bought from others, so they appear to be somewhat embarrassed about it.

Similarly, Samsung seemed a trifle embarrassed when announcing that their Galaxy S II phone would ship in some territories with Tegra 2 chips rather than their own Exynos chips.
I think your first guess is correct. Machine guns are owned by rich enthusiasts, brass knuckles are owned by poor thugs. It's implicitly discriminatory, although any rich switchblade enthusiasts are simply out of luck.
Poll: Do you find LulzSec's activities amusing?
Looks great, until you ride up a hill and project the pattern into the sky!

Ah, those odds sound better than driving, thanks.
CodeMinima.com: The Minimal Code Site
CodeMinima.com is a collaborative site geared towards software developers. It can best be described as a wikipedia for software developers. It is a "minimal" coding site, in that it has code samples that are absolutely minimal so that the mechanism for implementing a particular task is demonstrated without any bells or whistles. It aspires to have code samples for all programming languages in multiple domains. You can view the site at www.CodeMinima.com.
I think the main advantage is that people already see photos as one of Facebook's killer features. It's different than when they launched Places and Offers; photos is the reason a lot of people register for Facebook in the first place.
I'd argue that the reason I can keep using Linux is knowing there's good (or good enough) stuff out there for me to use, the only requirement being that I have a modern browser and an Internet connection. There's less and less reliance on some group of people deciding to clone some existing project or create something from scratch -- boy, do I remember the days of diving deep into freshmeat.net just to find something that would open PDFs and not suck.

The UX thing is why I'm slowly warming up to the Chromebook idea. I own an iPhone, and I love Macs, but I think ultimately the constraints of native applications will work against the users. We should cherish the million frameworks showing up instead of raising the "too much choice" flag just yet, as they will (hopefully) yield a development experience as enjoyable as the current tools for iOS, Android and Windows Phone seem to.

> the US never claims Cuba should be part of Florida

In a way, it does.

Consider: if Cuba were to become a capitalist country, how much of its land and other natural resources would be immediately purchased by US nationals?

Americans can take de-facto ownership of foreign countries without re-coloring any maps.
Wow - I used to use one of those. An I have another sun pizzabox (and the metal grid mousepad and the red laser mouse, and the full sun keyboard!) kicking around in storage somewhere..... sun4.
(Lower model than the SS20 in the box)

I think it has 4 megs of ram and a 100 meg disk or something (possibly smaller).

I do recall leaving it with Debian installed - if it isn't destroyed by some other physical means it'll probably boot, and I may even remmeber the password.

This has an uncanny similarity to Color, even that custom tab bar has the same exact icon placement. To me this looks more like a new version of Color with tight facebook integration... or perhaps FB got Color to to the dev for this while they are floundering right now.

I also find it odd that FB would spin out a separate app when all along they've been going for a unified experience in the iPhone app.
Startup bubble 2.0?

Not so sure about that... Consider the Template Numerical Toolkit: extending it would be Bottom while using it would be Top (reference counting, overloaded for for both row-major or column-major array access, etc.).

C# takes things several steps further down the road.

A lot of fun to try to make an enclosure of fields to keep the particles in.
Given how different the two of those can handle things, particularly with dependencies, that strikes me as a bad idea. I'm not even sure I'd trust it to CI. This isn't academic either. I'm contemplating moving to JRuby. I really think I'd be more comfortable with my local dev environment matching my deployment environment.
Actually, the US did own Cuba for a little tiny while

and there actually was a war involved.
From a comment I posted yesterday re bringing down gaming sites:

"For those wondering what the motivation was, earlier in the day there was a thread on the gaming site Escapist complaining about LulzSec hacking into Brink.

So LulzSec decided to take down that site and what I assume were a bunch of other easy gaming targets."
Well, Concorde wasn't allowed supersonic over the populated areas of the USA, to be exact. Was never a problem elsewhere, and some of the contemporary subsonic airliners were actually louder than the Concorde.

As you say, catastrophes didn't help either, although they occur regularly with vanilla airplanes as well. Fuel efficiency is indeed a problem; however there was no further R&D put into the programme since the 1970s, so no wonder. A modern 747 is certainly way more fuel efficient than the original mid-1960s project.
First sun workstation I ever physically used (I'd used remote servers over terminal sessions for years).

Got a new job, and they plunked an IPX down in front of me with a 20" sun monitor.
"will that do?"
(I knew nothing about the IPX - I did know sunos/solaris rather well from a cli point of view).
That thing was slow as heck, but damn if it wasn't fun fun fun to have my own SUN!
(In 1995 that was cool)
By the way, why do C++ people seem to think that reference counting is a good idea?
Automatic updates is one of the features of iOS5. So, its coming
It's very hard to get blinded by a laser, but it's quite easy to get dazzled for a few seconds if one goes in your eye. Being dazzled for a few seconds usually isn't that dangerous unless you're, say, driving a car.

No sir, I don't like the idea that the inconsiderate laws-don't-apply-to-me cyclists I carefully avoid running over every day will suddenly be equipped with lasers which can shine into my eyes by accident.
Maybe nobody will read my comment since I'm a bit late but anyway: It seems like nobody talked about the implication of the diminution of the solar magnetic field.

If I remember correctly, the solar magnetic field (SMF) is held responsible ’not entirely, earth's GM too and other things’ for deflecting galactic cosmic rays. What are the consequences of the current diminution of the SMF?

Looks like it will be better for space travel..(the article says) and how is that? Solar storm > Cosmis ray?

Excuse me but seems to me like it's the other way around:
"The storms actually improved the radiation environment inside the station." via (http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2005/07...)

What are you views on the subject?
I don't know what to think anymore.
Why Samsung is about to become the smartphone king
When the person in picture #3 makes that sign, it is described as the "victory sign." I imagine that's what the guy holding the rockets meant, too.
What are you going to do? Stand up at the mic and say "They're a wonderful couple aren't they? Congratulations. Now, could you all please start up the Color photo sharing app on your smartphone, or download it from the Apple App Store or Android Marketplace if you don't already have it? I'd like to see the pictures you are taking RIGHT NOW. Thanks."
This is too infrequent a problem to be worth working on. And your solution sounds overly complicated.
For folks more in-the-know than me on govt/corp history, does the power struggle between the people and controlling entities (wether it be the govt or the corps as we are seeing more recently) ebb and flow? Is this an ebb in out history where we see the balance of power pouring to the corp side of the scale or is this an unprecedented moment in history where we see control in health care, research, internet, communications, news, newspaper/magazine, popular culture (TV shows, Disney-created properties, modern fads, etc.), food, etc. all primarily dictated by corporations?

I'll do my part to pledge money for this movie because I think it is important to shine as much light as possible into dark corners... the lack of light allows nasty things to grow it seems, but I also (unfortunately) have no expectations that any change will come out of this as a result.

It seems like we have more information about corruptions and injustices now than we ever have in the history of the world; whether it is too overwhelming or "just not bad enough to care", the result of things mostly staying the same and going down the same path seem to continue.

Either things aren't as bad/terrible/horrifying as movies like Lose Change and Zeitgeist make them out to be or we (humans) are extremely difficult to mobilize as a group.

I really don't know how to think about gross imbalances of power. You see it so much it doesn't surprise you any more, but you still hate it, but I'm also very busy so I'm not running out with signs to stand on corners trying to get people to change their minds.

Anyone have more valuable thoughts on this to help put this in perspective? I'd appreciate it.
Simply a combination of it's nature - it's C++, and It's been around a long time. It's easy to make messy stuff with it.
Well, US nationals of Cuban extraction, from Miami, who always wanted to go back there. But you might as well say that Britain claims to own Spain from the number of Brits who retire there.
The 10 commandments of PC games
The Gmail example doesn't prove the point so well: there's a Javascript-free, widely used web interface to it that doesn't deserve to be called a client.

Something like Google Maps, or Topolsky's example of Google Docs, supports the point well enough.

I'm nitpicking, but I wouldn't say Apple "removes" the logos, just special orders the chips with their logo instead.

And yet they fail? They've got Apple using their service for iCloud, how is that a "fail"?
I now see how it all fits together. Through inside information, Color found out about Facebooks new photo sharing app, which will render them obsolete. The board decided to transform Color into a patent troll, to leverage at least something. Peter Pham disagreed with this direction, and left Color.
NativeClient is a cool technology, from a pure, geeky POV. Maybe awesome stuff will be done with it, to the point of steering other browsers in its direction, but right now it's a case of having a "Designed for Google Chrome" badge on you front page or developing two code bases, one with JavaScript, another with C++, just to have the same reach you would without it -- only to end up with a crappy user experience for a lot of people.

The only way I see of furthering NaCl's agenda is if Adobe, Autodesk or some other company with a little cash to burn decides to write one of their apps (say, a Photoshop Express, or maybe a Sketchbook Pro) with it and prove in the market that there's a future in that approach. Otherwise, it will forever be just a cool hack.
"So far, staff members are spending more time checking the work of volunteers than they would have taken to do the transcriptions themselves, according to Mr. Prickman."

I find this hard to believe. You can eliminate the obviously wrong ones instantly. Just delete them. I feel a compelling need to know why they are wrong, too, but it just doesn't matter. (The picture given is a great example.)

The rest, give a cursory glance and file it as provisionally okay. Shouldn't take more than a few seconds to verify each one this way. Certainly less time than typing it out, and MUCH less time than trying to decipher the whole thing perfectly.

Then, either run a second and third round of crowdsourcing and use computers to determine the differences, or sit down and read them individually. (Or crowdsource that!) It will still have taken less time that typing it.

Yeah you are right. Privacy remains a concern. If that happens, we will compromise privacy for quality. I like Google Chrome but still privacy remains an issue for me.
Libration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libration
The original article it links to is far more useful. It not only covers other matters, it is far more nuanced on the topic picked up here:

http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/061311-mark-shuttlewor...

The headline would be more accurate as "Google Chrome might replace Firefox in Ubuntu Linux, but not for at least a year"

Key quote: "That probably keeps us on Firefox for another year, at least, and we'll see from there," Shuttleworth said.
When I saw moon libration for the first time I though this should have made people understand that Earth is spherical. But nobody noticed it for a long time...

Head to options > advanced > general and check "search for text when I start typing". Now enjoy; look for a link you find interesting, type the name and when it starts to get highlighted, press enter (or ctrl+enter for a new tab). If it finds some other text that it's not a link, press F3 until you find it.
I call BS. When engineers (of whatever kinds) end up getting signing and retention bonuses, I'll agree. Given the STEM outsourcing trends, this is calling for newbies that cost less. Or, trying to pay off education interests.
You are aware that Apple doesn't own its own chip fabs? That its hardware is manufactured for it by third parties? That the building space for most Apple Stores are leased from malls and landlords?

Every enterprise builds on infrastructure owned by others. That is what contracts are for. What matters is the degree of lock-in and who controls the roadmap. And the whole point of modern "cloud" infrastructure is that you don't own the hardware, you don't have the capital costs of the datacenters, you have a nice temporary lease that you can nonrenew or perhaps even break if needed, and your internal architecture is probably generic enough to be ported to another cloud if needed.
I wonder whether this is just a function of the beta while they are waiting for the paint to dry on their new data centre.

It is a useful idea, because it allows a certain amount of automation/defensive programming but without the complexity and potentially unpredictable performance of using a full garbage collector. For the kind of job where C++ is still a good choice of programming language, that might be the right balance.

They should've thought of that before they asked the same thing from Samsung.
Probably from Ted Kaczynski:

They never had a moral motive. When they targeted Sony, everyone was singing praise, but they have never claimed to be doing this for anything other than "lulz".

When they're attacking Sony it's "righteous" and "good", when they're attacking companies we like they're "bad" and "immature".

I think there is a difference. Microsoft has tried to build and market various synchronization/collaboration/cloud solutions for over a decade, without any success to show for.

If Apple succeeds with iCloud, and that's a big if given their own track record in the internet space, it'd ought to be pretty awkward for Microsoft.
How Hackers Stole 200,000 Citi Accounts Just By Changing Numbers In The URL
I hope I have covered it more clearly in the article. May be I should look after the headline though.

Also the original article covers Ubuntu in more detail, which is out of scope for this blog.

Thanks for the pointer!
Because it's so hard to just remove it and install your own. No OS I use comes by default with my browser of choice as of late( actually I think Archbang does come with Chromium preinstalled ). Comments like this are ridiculous
Sorry, I don't see the contradiction at all. Of course journalism is about asking "tough questions" but there's nothing that compels the interviewee to answer those questions, and even if they do answer truthfully their "truth" may differ from yours.

As the original article makes clear, how you classify the way a small business interacts with GroupOn is very much a matter of perception: through one lens it looks like a small business loan with a weird structure. A small business owner might see it differently & GroupOn itself has a vested interest in not having their customers view GroupOn deals in that way of course.
