Some Techniques for Enhancing WordPress Content
Spice up WordPress content using a variety of techniques. Add footnotes, pull quotes, clean line breaks after images, and more.
This article is wrong about six different ways. Hell, he didn't even make it through the first sentence correctly: "... Google... are heading in a completely different direction than their core business, search." Search is not their business! Google is an advertising company! Search is just one of the mechanisms they use to attract eyeballs.

"They now seem to be heading towards providing users choices based not on their normal SERPs, but choices via their own Google products. This is a very worrying direction since once they create a product and effectively force users to use this by prominently positioning it in the SERPs then this flushes all competition down the drain." You mean like happened with Google Wave?

"When did it become Google's job to make [comparing flights] easier?" When did it become Google's job to make search easier?

Idiot!

Of course that's the scenario we're talking about. Having a big volume is about as relevant as a big hard drive. Would you buy a 250GB drive when the 1TB version is the same price (or less)? Of course not. Bigger is better. So why would you create a small encrypted volume when you have boatloads of diskspace to spare?

And no, that's not how contempt works. IANAL but Wikipedia says this:
To prove contempt, the prosecutor or complainant must prove the four elements of contempt:
Existence of a lawful order
The contemnor's knowledge of the order
The contemnor's ability to comply
The contemnor's failure to comply

There's no way to prove your ability to comply with decrypting a hidden volume for as long as it remains hidden.

'The "circle" I want is the one that doesn't have Google in it.'
Totally. While it's true that getting praises from Andy the accountant and Bella the homecoming queen is much more meaningful than praises from Chris the programmer, it's just a matter of fact that attracting Andy and Bella in the early days is close to impossible. Andy and Bella just don't care about any new social network at all. And some of them have heavily invested in enriching their Facebook experience that they would think of G+ as a threat.

Perhaps more importantly, techies can have fun by themselves. They would play with Circles, follow tech celebs, tweak around with Sparks, and love discussing random topics with strangers. Now suppose early adopters consist of Andies and Bellas, they would just sit and wait until somebody does something.

That said, at the end of the day, G+ will finally have to figure out how to get Andy and Bella in.

Someone writing another book about programming C isn't newsworthy

However, "someone who wrote a ground-breaking introductory book in xyz modern-popular-hip language is turning his attention to C, of all things" is newsworthy.
I had forgotten about that programming in 10 years thing completely. However, he's right, thank you for reminding me.

I am still looking for various little projects to code.
You can download A Treatise on Probability by John Maynard Keynes from Guttenberg
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/32625

Although I agree on the Laplace book mentioned already as well.
Emulators like QEMU are designed to emulate an existing instruction set such as x86, and they also need to emulate a specific memory model, interrupt model, I/O subsystem etc. VMs such as in this post are designed without such constraints.

Both are designed around the core principle of a "virtual machine" — decode some kind of stream of machine code instructions, execute each instruction, and maintain the stack and memory state along the way — but they target different use cases with different nuances in the implementation.
"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." --Brian Kernighan
Not to mention people aren't as smart as you debugging/understanding it.
Also that code relies on the order of operations which I wouldn't recommend outside of math because it can be confusing. And it doesn't check that s isn't null.

Java is considered verbose for a number of reasons. It has a number of variable modifiers, it uses long names(which are generally good but can be stupid, especially in some cases of identifying multiple abstraction levels), and because it lacks type inference for generics and collection literals. c frequently makes the opposite mistakes with tiny cryptic or non whole word names. C lacks generic programming, it does do a decent job with initializers but unfortunately those can only be used at initialization.
can you get around the second without typeof(a gnu extension)?
Signing using PGP would be good, but it wouldn't prevent somebody using a replay attack to cause the browser to download an old vulnerable version of an application instead of a new patched version.
That's neat. I like how your code is so concise and readable. Now all you need to do is to emulate a display, a sound chip and a tape cassette drive. :-)
"This isn't the only possible interpretation of that comment"

Genuine curiosity... what other interpretation could there be? Is it an ESL issue with literal translation causing offense? Or is there another interpretation in a non North American culture?

In N.A. at least, this is an extremely common expression.
That seems like an unwarranted level of confidence. Could you explain your reasoning?

When learning a new language, the syntax and exercises which explore this come to me fairly quickly. The difficulties are (a) learning the best way of structuring large blocks of code using the new syntax and tools, and (b) for new programmers: understanding how to convert conceptual rules in my head into algorithms.

If you set out to only teach the language syntax and paradigms you are leaving a beginner with a lot of extra work before they can start or contribute to meaningful projects. This is the reason that people learn so much from reading other people's code in open-source projects: most writers skim over trying to teach the most fundamental skill of programming.

I do believe it is possible to teach practicalities in addition to theory and if you attempt to do this, you will be doing a lot more than most writers have done in the past.
A "right to sue" could be considered property if you squinted hard enough, but of course when people talk about intellectual property they're talking about "UNIX" or Windows or the Mac OS look and feel, not the legal mechanisms themselves.
If you are running javascript on a page from a server, you are trusting the server with your plaintext.
I am sad at this reaction.

We need more people writing their T&Cs in clear ways. There are many advantages in a clear T&C, not just for the consumer but also for you. You are stating upfront what relationship you want to have with a customer and obscure T&Cs means you have an obscure relationship.

If even you can't understand your T&Cs then they're worthless, you actually don't know if you're covered or not.

Just because Dropbox made a muckup, looking like they let a lawyer convince them that they needed that to cover their ass when they didn't, doesn't mean we should all run round hysterically paying for arcane language from a lawyer.

I just don't believe they needed to write that clause that way.

Imagine if it had read something like:

By submitting your stuff to the Services, you are instructing us to use your rights as a licence holder or the copyright holder to copy, distribute, prepare derivative works (such as translations or format conversions) of, perform, or publicly display that stuff to the extent reasonably necessary for the Service on your instructions. This is to enable us to technically administer, display, and operate the Services. You must ensure you have the rights you need to grant us that permission.

In the end this isn't a new scenario, do you think a printer asks for a worldwide license on the stuff he prints? And yet they're somehow pretending it is. They just want to say that you're instructing them to use the file in a particular way and that you have to ensure you have the rights to do that, a licence or the copyright.

IANAL but it seems pretty clear to me that they let themselves get talked into putting a clause in there that actually wasn't clear.
Seems like browser extensions would be the way to go.

RITE is exactly what I want to need.

The problem is that distributed systems (like message queues or notification services) are required to be fast/scalable but very hard to program/debug/test. One solution is embedding plugin mechanism in a carefully programmed framework. There are examples such as Tokyo Tyrant's Lua plugin or Apache Solr's plugin mechanism. But rather than Lua or Java, I want to use Ruby because it's syntax and semantics are very suitable to write plugins.

RITE will make it possible. Ruby may be new standard of embedded languages.
It sure is difficult to find companies that are NOT using Hadoop for somewhat morally questionable stuff (like ad targeting).

It's impressive what the Facebook guys did with Hadoop/HBase, but it looks like they patched here and there and everywhere to make it work for their specific use cases. Makes me wonder if a from-scratch redesign is in order to really get realtime processing to work properly with Hadoop.
Peer Pressure Makes False Memories
By "that comment", I meant hp's original comment, which was a long tangent on how to go about teaching C, in the context of a post about a draft of a book teaching C. The piece that X-Istence isolated contributes to the interpretation that the comment was a criticism of Shaw, and not just a long tangent. It can be read as setting a confrontational tone.

I don't understand why other commenters feel it was unreasonable of Shaw to interpret it as a criticism.

I think it's been on the order of a year since I last heard this particular violin phrase. It might be common in your community, but that's not exactly North America, yeah?

Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger (Instagram) talk on myths surrounding startups.
Yeah, I agree. I meant tech people generally fawn about every new Google offering. Compare that with Apple, and the reaction to iPod or iPad- meh.

More generally I meant that both tech people and Google suffer from the same blindness.
Your pricing page is not very clear to me.

> Affililink will operate on a pay as you go system meaning you only pay for what you use.

OK. On which basis?

> Each month you will be awarded a number of free credits, these will give you a certain amount of links to be processed. Once these have been used, you can purchase more through the control panel.

OK. How many links are we talking about here? How much will extra links cost?

> Affililink is currently free of charge and will be for the immediate future.

For how long? The page doesn't really do a good job at explaining how pricing will work in the long run.

When it comes to my blogs, there are thousands of dollars on the line. If I'm not embedding my own affiliate code, I really need to trust your system to work and be sustainable enough to exist in the future. Otherwise going back and change the existing links is going to be a pain.

Let me understand how much it costs to use your service now or in the future and I may use it.

It doesn't take a VM language or an interpreted lanugage to get libraries working well. Take a look at Haskell's Cabal system and Hackage package library. It works pretty good and doesn't use a VM.

With C and C++, you'll have to use your operating system's package management to get all the important libraries (or build them by hand from Git sources, etc), then have a build system that configures the build environment and searches for all the libraries and other dependencies. It's not as nice as using a dedicated tool for this, like Gem and Bundler in Ruby but usually you get the job done - unless you work on Windows and don't have a package manager.
What I consider to be intellectual property is between my ears - it is my intellect and my property.

I have an arrangement with my employer to rent my intellect for nominally 8 hours per day. What that arrangement produces are artifacts (ink on paper, magnetic domains on disk drives, charge on floating gates) of my intellect. My employer owns those artifacts, but not the intellect that created them.

Companies can talk all they want about their "intellectual property", but their property is artifacts, and artifacts are not intelligent. Artifacts cannot generate new, novel, artifacts. When a company uses the term "intellectual property," that is offensive to me because the company is denigrating my intellect by equating it to inanimate artifacts.

The uncomfortable truth (for companies) that they have forgotten or chosen to ignore is that the intelligence part of their company is not their property. The intelligence walks out the door every evening.
Yeah my oldest kid was slow to talk (fine now) so his pediatrician wanted to make sure there wasn't anything wrong, so his chromosomes were done (as well as Fragile X and all the other usual suspects). The report came back as normal chromosomes, so I can only assume he got my normal 5 and 16 (or that my wife was stepping out!!).
Easily a few hundred dollars a month? I doubt that. Maybe a Thai with support could do that. I have never been to Thailand but living on that much in the Philippines, which is comparable, would be difficult. You would be barely squeaking by.

Here's the rest of that letter from Thomas Jefferson. http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/a1_8_8s12.... It's interesting to realize that even such a fierce supporter of personal rights in our country didn't recognize ideas as something that should be "protected" like personal property.
I curse Sharepoint with every time I have to use it (and its WebDAV implementation only works well with Windows). If you haven't noticed, iDisk is one of those things that doesn't work well with MobileMe.

1Password also uses a lot of tiny files in its workflow (one of my items, a license stored in 1Password, ffdfa… has a 5k PNG, a 261 byte plist, and a 791 byte JSON file in two different directories; those separate files and directories are what make the sync efficient). Share point deals with larger files over WebDAV, where it can be more efficient for those files.

If you spent five minutes on the Wuala website you would notice that they only have a GET series of APIs, not anything that the 1Password guys can use because the mobile apps can write as well as read. So, no, they aren't wrong.

Right, so govtrack.us does a pretty good job providing information on activities in congress. It's a great research source.

This takes a very different approach.

RepWatch.us actively builds a profile of how accurately your reps advance your views based on the correlation of their votes on issues with yours.

It's essentially a way to illustrate a politician's actual stance compared to yours, and by so doing help counter the problem of our short political memory.

This title is misleading and implies a breach in privacy on Google+. While that's technically true, the article is actually about how Google has recognized the problem and is currently fixing it.

"First, when you have a post that is defined as Limited (anything that you haven’t shared publicly) other people will no longer be able to share that content. Previously, once you shared it, others could link to it and that created a privacy problem that Google wanted to fix in the post-Buzz world."

The original title worked just as well.
Back Links: What They Are And Ways To Buy Them
Hi acangiano,
I haven't yet put a price together which is why the page lacks information.
Ideally I need to run it free for a while to work out user usage and cost of running.

So far I'm thinking of something like 100 clickthroughs to a credit, and users will get 5 credits free per months - effectively 500 free links processed a month.

I'll update the pricing page as soon as I've got some proper information to put down.
Thanks for your input, I've found your email in your website, I'll get in touch soon.
Actually, "protecting" ideas as if they were property is in direct opposition to personal rights, so this should be expected.

It's weird how "intellectual property" somehow got associated with personal liberty, the free market etc., when in fact it totally goes against those ideas.
