Option 1 is asking for serious trouble! Prison time even. Never lie to them.

Even if you just intend to visit and and up doing some work you'll get in deep trouble, but if you lie about it from the start it'll be much worse.

This would be civil disobedience if they turned themselves in after committing what is considered a crime, to point out the unjustness of the law that makes it a crime.

I didn't see Anonymous turn themselves in, did you?
FreeNAS works really well on a little 1GB USB stick - dedicating ALL of the SATA connectors to disks.
Catalogue of interior design photos for inspiration. Got lucky with SEO so I don't think there's much value in describing it in detail like Bingo Card Creator though - entire site didn't take much to put together.

I agree — I used to hate About.com, but I've found some of the subsites have some decent articles. I've found some decent recipe ideas on the Greek Food subsite, for example.
Did you read the article? Paypal provided evidence that the DDoS was coming from LOIC, a manually-operated non-botnet tool. Also, it sounds like Paypal's evidence was only used to get search warrants, and evidence found in those searches (like LIOC) would then be used to justify arrests.
Werkzeug and WebOb already do what you are trying to do, and they do it in a completely fantastic way. I'm not saying that to discourage you from learning and contributing, but what do those two libraries do wrong that you are hoping to improve on?

In the meantime, don't bash WSGI until you understand why it is the way it is.
Counter-counterpoint: I didn't know you until just now :)
Well sure. But from a practical standpoint, a patent troll is far less likely to bother with someone who doesn't have reasonably deep pockets.
Dave Ramsey's books (audiobooks, in my case: I downloaded the Total Money Makeover [ http://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B002UUKIR8 ] with an audible credit when Merlin Mann mentioned [but did not endorse!] Dave by pointing out that he will not accept credit cards for payment on his website since he does not think anyone should have or use a credit card [ever]) are what enabled/motivated me to finally get out of debt and save up enough money to start Falcon Empire.

That could be one explanation. However, it's also true that this series of attacks has been some of the highest profile attacks ever publicized. Even if the government wasn't attacked, they'd probably have to do something to appease the general public. "We're doing nothing" probably wouldn't fly.
I like your line of thinking. I just ordered a BeagleBoard today that I plan to use as a static HTTP server. You've found the Debian ARM port to be stable and complete? I was pondering giving Angstrom a go first.

I also love the fact that it also runs on less than 12.5 watts!

I would strongly urge you to consider starting out with ACE instead of relearning the lessons learned by those who came before you. ACE is a well-tested, relatively-performant, extendable-by-design basis for any web-based text editing project. I followed the mailing lists for a long time, and it was not a trivial decision for Mozilla to abandon their efforts with Bespin in favor of ACE, but it was a necessary one.
Analogy time:

One person taking a book means others can not see the same book. Acceptable DoS because the owner thinks you may purchase it.

One person taking several books means others can not see the same books. Questionable DoS because the owner thinks you're screwing around.

Many people doing taking several books out in the store leaves the owner to suspect a DDoS attack because there's not usually that many people and none seem to want to buy. It's especially malicious if there's intent.

Ugly thing about DDoS is that since there's unexceptionally large amount of people and no books to check out, loyal and new customers will be put off and may not return causing future loss.
This whole endless search for the reason why "women aren't in computing" is just a modern day version of epicycle theory. In ancient times, they couldn't admit that the earth went around the sun, so they came up with the increasingly baroque epicycle theory, where planets were postulated to do loop-de-loops just so that no one would have to concede heliocentrism.

Today we face a similar taboo, held for similar quasi-religious reasons. Our latest epicycle is competitive job postings. This at least is laudably specific; most of these kinds of explanations aren't testable at all.

The obvious but taboo answer is that women will generally gravitate to fields which are more social/people focused and less technical/mathematical. That spectrum runs from teaching through medicine in the middle through CS.

These trends are due in nontrivial part to genetics. Women are just more social and men more systematizing, on average.

As programming went from rote punch card/data entry to something more like physics or math, the percentage of women dropped.

All this breast beating is about a refusal to accept that basic biological differences could possibly affect behavior. Indeed, not even the tenured President of Harvard can broach the topic, even if he only moots the possibility of differences in variance rather than mean!

It's not much of a debate when those who voice the "partially genetic" position are at risk of losing their jobs.
I find they are all lacking in major ways and I have to jump between IE, FireFox, and Chrome. Anyone that swears by a single browser's dev tools isn't making much use of them.

- Only Chrome lets you set a breakpoint on JS event listeners.
- Only IE let's you change the next line of execution in JS.
- You *can't* edit the value of a local variable in the Chrome console!
- Only IE9 & FF search multiple JS files when doing a text find.
- IE doesn't refresh the dev tools representation of the DOM without clicking refresh.
- Only IE has a "format JavaScript" for minimized, obfuscated JS. And it allows you to set breakpoints on the formatted lines!
- Only Chrome has tools for finding memory leaks (see dev channel for big improvements in that).

Etc, etc.

A major problem is that print editions have a comparatively high production and distribution cost, but newspapers can charge more for advertising. As readers shift to online editions, the distribution cost is minimal, but the savings are dwarfed by the loss of advertising revenue, since internet ads cost much less. Of course, they try to counter this by peppering the pages with ads, which leads to about half the problems that this piece describes.
The problem is, the CBP people get to play god. They're (as far as I can tell) not bound by any rules.

Two examples:

When my dad wanted to come over, the US Embassy told him that technically, they can turn away people at the border for no reason except they don't like you.

When I first got here, many moons ago, I had a Visa from the US embassy inserted in my passport. Since the officer at the border was having a bad day (or whatever triggered this), he was asking for the full set of paperwork leading up to the Visa - two large binders with 500+ pages of paperwork.

----

I don't object to CBP being able to turn away people, that's reasonable. I object to there being no clear rules and regulations that you can check before you e.g. board a 12-hour transatlantic flight.

If, in the above example, there was a clear rule that you must bring $X per day, you could avoid this nonsense. But there isn't. It's entirely the border agents discretion.
As the article only touched on, this is precisely why the next computing giant will not come from Silicon Valley or anywhere in the US. The current software patent situation has ensured it.

As a special case, how about allowing the response body to be an iterable, and writing whatever blocks of data it produces back to the client?

You should also allow multiple headers with the same field-name, since that's in the spec.

I like the idea of Pump, and am tired of frameworks protecting me from HTTP.

EDIT: Looking at the WebOb code. It does have quite a few conveniences for working with HTTP messages. I'm not sure if copying bodies into temp files in order to make them seekable is a "completely fantastic way" of doing things, but if I were you I'd definitely read through WebOb to see what kind of problems you might be up against.
This is really only the beginning of a list. Most newspapers don't realize it yet but its getting pointless for them to even publish national and world news.

Most twenty somethings i know never read the newspaper. Yet as they buy houses and have kids they develop an intense interest in local news about their community. The company that gets local right will be the new Hearst of this era. I am pretty sure it won't be one of the giants like Gannett.

Right now I learn as much local news on Twitter as I do the local daily newspaper I read every morning.
Werkzeug and WebOb are not what I'm trying to do.

I'm reposting a reply I made earlier to irahul:

Pump aims to replace WSGI entirely. That is, I believe it does a better job of what WSGI was intended to do.

I understand your point that web developers don't necessarily work with WSGI on a day-to-day basis. But if you look at the Ruby web community, Rack middlewares are much more prevalent than WSGI middlewares. Application developers (as opposed to framework developers) often add functionality as a Rack middleware, so that it can be reused in different applications, even using different frameworks. Why isn't that happening with Python as much? In the Python world, instead of writing even simple middlewares to for basic functionality like https://github.com/adeel/pump/blob/master/pump/middleware/pa... or https://github.com/adeel/pump/blob/master/pump/middleware/co..., every framework ends up reimplementing it. I believe this is because the WSGI API is ugly and not as easy to understand as it could be (just look at the average WSGI middleware).
No.

Your newspaper dying is why this is.

>>It's the team lead's job to answer all of these questions >>on their own, by interacting and communicating with the >>team members.

Are you serious? The team lead's expectation from his/her team is that the members are going to be self-organized. That is what the author of the article talks about - his _expectations_. How does communicating well interrupt getting work done in any way?

It may be the teacher's fault when your team members are novices, but not beyond a certain point.

If you are really seeking to replace WSGI, then I'd encourage you do a bit more research, write a specification, get at least one more implementation, and then submit it as a PEP.

Documenting at this level is challenging & rewarding. The hard part about specification work, beyond explaining the design and providing adequate justification, is getting consensus. By doing so, you'll learn quite a bit, open yourself up for critique, and in the end perhaps provide a credible alternative.
The NYTimes is actually profitable again.
I love the idea of a home server far more than I do using typical "end-point" electronics... But one thing I'd love to see a hardware manufacturer make is a wifi monitor that functionally doubles as a tablet.

Just a light, wifi, touchscreen (with mic, speakers, and cameras) that uses my desktop, and just streams content to the device. A smart charging stand that hold it vertical, and you could use it in place of a traditional monitor too. (Pie in the sky territory: awesome remote abilities that let you control your desktop over wifi from anywhere.)
Very good points yes, but not so easy to put into practice.
The idea that we had accurate birth records for every single person in human history that reached 120 seems dubious.
Just wanted to point out that with the recent New York Times second-quarter results, the growing consensus is that the NYT has turned a corner:
http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2011/07/26/the-nyt-pay...

I don't think it's fair to say that the NYT is "dying" at this point. Here's how New York Magazine put it just this week:

"It will take years for the ultimate wisdom of the Times’ strategy to be apparent, but the company’s second-quarter-earnings report proves that its digital-subscription plan has thus far been an enormous success. The internal projections have been closely held, but several people have confirmed that the goal was to amass 300,000 online subscribers within a year of launch. On Thursday, the company announced that after just four months, 224,000 users were paying for access to the paper’s website. Combined with the 57,000 Kindle and Nook readers who were paying for subscriptions and the roughly 100,000 users whose digital access was sponsored by Ford’s Lincoln division, that meant the paper had monetized close to 400,000 online users. (Another 756,000 print subscribers have registered their accounts on the Times’ website.)"

"With the exception of websites charging for sports statistics, financial data, and porn, that makes nytimes.com one of the very few content providers that is monetizing its users"

Not if you want to do business in the United States. Even if your home jurisdiction is patent-friendly (or lax), doing business in the US means complying with, and therefore being liable to, any patent enforcement. A US company can't sue a non-US company if there isn't any US-based infringement, but if you do business in the US, then they can sue you for infringement in the US, no matter where you are based.

A friend pointed me to this discussion. I am really, really surprised at the number of comments which have interpreted this post as exhibiting a dictatorial mindset on the part of a team lead. The only takeaway as somebody has already pointed out is that _clarity_ matters, _communication_ matters, and communication has to be initiated by the person responsible for the job. In self organizing, agile (in the English sense, not the beaten to death software development model sense) teams, this is the norm.

Thanks for posting this. After reading it I figured I'll run Disk Utility on my TimeCapsule drive and wouldnt you know it, it reported ERRORS GALORE!

"The volume Time Machine Backups was found corrupt and needs to be repaired. Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk."

Fired off a repair...

So I assume Time Machine is either accessing only the 'good' parts of the disk and wouldn't know about the issues, or, in an attempt to make it 'easy to use', simply swallows all potential errors without ever reporting them back and just keeps happily chugging along? Ouch.

Simply blocking access to the site and hoping there will be no repercussions is basically pointless.

Not necessarily. Some civil disobedience is symbolic, as you describe, some is direct action. Some acts of civil disobedience have succeeded even though there have been media blackouts, mostly because the cost of continually arresting protestors who refuse to back down exceeds the downsides to negotiation.
This would be civil disobedience if they turned themselves in

That's not, actually, a requirement of civil disobedience, and never has been, historically. For instance, millions broke the salt laws of India, but only 80,000 were arrested, and I can guarantee that the remainder did not voluntarily turn themselves in.
That's where I'd risk to me. For one, the combat theme is going to instantly turn off at least half the females, and a chunk of the males also. It just doesn't have the same appeal.

He was on a visa waiver - if he is British that allows him to do anything you can do on a B1 business visa. In fact the only reason you have to get a B1 visa is because you can't use the visa waiver if you are, say a convicted criminal!

You can work for your outside-the-US employer, you can collaborate with US customers, suppliers, partners, you can train them,you can sell, demonstrate and install products. About the only thing you can't do is work for a US company.

Picture if he was an engineer from Rolls Royce aero engines going to Boeing - everything that engineer might need to do you can do on a visa waiver.
Throwing an idea out there: Software patents should last no more than 1 year.

If you come up with something worth patenting, you get a year lead on competitors. That's it.
While we analyze why there isn't much gender diversity as it is before. We must also understand how much the industry has changed over years. The volume of work that existed back in the pre - 80's era and now isn't even comparable. And with volume the culture of our profession has changed drastically.

If its your usual 9-5 job, where you have to apply routine steps everyday then it would have been OK. But being progressive in programming requires you not just to work hard(And in most cases working under difficult deadlines and overnight) you also have continuously keep learning and update yourself with things that come along everyday. This is pretty demanding if you have a family, kids and especially when you are pregnant etc. There are physical limitations in those issues. If I look at the way my career has been, I sort of had to stay and overnights and work on difficult deadlines many times over long periods. It becomes very difficult for a mother with kids to accommodate work and family in that kind of schedule. So she has to often opt to be one side. A general counter point presented to this argument is to ask the Project manager to be more come with a more accommodating plan.This is often not possible due to economic reasons, given the time, money and resource something needs to be delivered. This has nothing to do with male domination in the society, these are just unavoidable situations.

This is typical of many other professions. Why don't we find as many female cab drivers as male ones? Why don't we have as many frontline female soldiers/nurses?

Let alone all that, if the current biological situation was reversed. And men could stay at home(Do the house choses, kids, food etc) and women had to take all responsibilities of house, family, money and security for their whole life. How many women in mass(not individual cases) would be happy with such a tiring and demanding life?

Well I guess everything in the nature and the way things go have a purpose.

What middleware do you think are missing? In general, stuffing application logic into middleware leads to problems, so I don't think your premise is sound.

http://dirtsimple.org/2007/02/wsgi-middleware-considered-har...

I think your approach is harmful and will put developers who use this library in a very bad situation. You are putting a simplifying abstraction on top of HTTP. As with all simplifications, things which do fit perfectly in your tool become very easy, and things that don't fit perfectly become completely impossible.

Finally, I stand by my argument. Werkzeug and WebOb let you put the exact kind of simple interface on top of WSGI that you are attempting to, but with the benefits of not restricting you to a subset of HTTP, and interoperability with awesome tools like mod_wsgi.
Apple trumpets new iPad era
What is troubling about this is not that Google mistakenly removed the account.

What is troubling is:

1: This guy had to go to the fucking MOON to get his account back, ranting and raving on twitter like a mad man- and it took nearly a week!!

2: Google's support sucks- God help any of us who is in a similar position.

3: Even getting Google's attention is not enough. Since there is no formal appeals process, you have to harass Google employees in a informal method. Matt Cutts even said on a HN thread that "Google took the appropriate action" - So what is it? Did he break the TOS or not? This is the whole issue. Without a formal process, you just get knee jerk reactions. Any person other than this guy would have stopped trying after Matt essentially said he wasn't getting it back.

4: Even after all that, he did not even know why his account was deleted for a week.

5: For all Google's talk about data liberation, they suck with this. Takeout only gives you access to useless social crap and if you want to download your email its a long process that involves reading guides, using POP, IMAP, etc.. How about just giving me a link to download my mail?

6: No warnings, no contact- This could have all been solved if Google asked first and shot later.
