I must hunt down and learn to use a QuickCheck-like library for my language.

If I can't find one, I should write one.

So what's the (best) equivalent of QuickCheck in Ruby? In other languages?
Building a Node.js Events App Using RabbitMQ, Websockets, and Django
Of course not, because according to your strong "Microsoft anything sucks" comment history, I don't see how you'd deem anything they could do as right in your eyes...
Thanks, will definitely check it out. Still, this is the sort of thing Google should have rolled out themselves as part of G+. Having a tool like this could be one of most significant tools for their user retention.
The 2412 isn't a newer version of the 2410, it is a budget version and significantly worse.
+1 are you planning on releasing a paperback version of the Ruby version?
Yep. And the !#!$ers are promising to increase funding to healthcare by 30% in 5 years. Doctors already got a 100% raise last decade in some provinces and one of the biggest cost is physicians.

Meanwhile, the doctor lobby lobbies its ass off to prevent cheaper alternatives like nurse practitioners or the reduction of importance of hospitals for anything but emergencies or weird shit.
Computer gamers solve problem in AIDS research that puzzled scientists for years
Can anyone comment on the claim "QuickCheck is shockingly more effective at finding bugs than unit tests"? I'd be interested in hearing other opinions.
Okay, that may be but it has no impact on the "freeness" of Android 3.x.
Are you seriously trying to suggest that carving the part plug, building a box, acquiring appropriate sand, packing the part into the sand, acquiring and melting metal, pouring said metal, then finishing the part's surface is anything like the ease of downloading, printing, and waiting?

Yes, building a 3D printer is an investment now. But cheap, common 3D printers are going to become a reality, and soon.
Yeah, understandable. Teens like to have conversations and email is not for that. They don't want to set appointments or receive weekly emails from something-weekly.com. Teens I know have tons of emails because every time they want to join a new service/social network they don't remember their password and create a new account :D.
we actually are trying to stay away from reporting on angel investors/VCs/funds....

FTP was always going to fall apart, the government investigation into UIEGA violations triggered it sooner. It may have otherwise become a billion-dollar ponzi

I lost money in FTP and was a regular player (I noticed the dodgy merchant names on credit card bills years ago and knew what was up but kept playing)
I bet that if you measured actual, focused work time spent, this would be roughly accurate of the average office-bound employee.

If this is true - and it sounds really plausible especially in the Middle East - I fear for how much of a step backwards this is going to be, especially with the Arab Spring going forward.
How much telecommuters work, depends on each case.
In my case, I have been working from home for the last 7 years. I am highly motivated because I want to maximize achievements in the rest of my life.

Mostly, I work in small teams with other remote friends, on fixed price contracts and on my own projects. Fixed price contracts means that the faster I can finish work, the more profitable it is, and the more time I get for my own projects. For my that is a brutal incentive to get things done.

This is my current pattern. works for me, but may not work for others:

- I don't watch TV, except occasionally while lunch. In general I don't like TV.

- 4 years since my last vacation. I hardly can forget about work.

- I don't follow any daily routines. Typically work around 5 - 12 daily hours, usually until late in the night. I find this way the more productive for me. Overall, that translates to around 40 hours of fair intensity work per week. I wish I could do more, but I have found that to be the sustainable amount. Surpassing that, leads to burnout, and less productivity overall.

- I take a few short breaks during work. A walk in the garden, cook something simple, browse hacker news, etc. I have found that necessary to stay productive. That seems to take over the occasional talks in a on-site work. For example, I once did a project in odesk, with their invasive surveillance system, and without taking breaks. Got a five star rating in the end. But the experience was so dismal, that I almost decided to retire from programming. I was often dreading every minute of work.

- I maximize use of time. When I can't stand more work, I do 1-2 hours of intense jogging. Or get out, take a walk at a pleasant place, take lunch at some place, etc. In this way, I am always highly motivated in what I am doing.

- I have found that I am very self sufficient. I used to need some hangout-with-friends time, but I don't need that anymore. Now I mostly feel that as a waste of time.

- I work on weekends, and usually take the Mondays off. When I visit places, I prefer to avoid the usual tumult of the weekends.
Perhaps so, but the point is that manufacturing receivers is already fairly trivial compared to the rest of a firearm since it's a low stress part, and that this is already well-covered legal ground.

Even if 3D printing reaches the ubiquity of everyone having the equipment at home, 3D printers will not be capable of producing full, functional firearms.
I'm not sure I'm following your argument. Are you suggesting it is highly unlikely Dan won't be comparable to a player ranked #652? That is, you are saying, on average, his key stats won't be comparable?

I don't think Dan is planning on becoming a top-10 contender on the PGA, I think he would just like to play a competitive game with them.

I would suggest that anyone who is ranked on the PGA, #652 on up, could be considered an expert in golf.
It appears he's teaching a course at Stanford on Haskell starting next week, MW later in the afternoons.

Taking a class just to learn a language is a bit dodgy, but Haskell is probably a forgivable exception.
In facebook one can at least use nicknames, and it doesn't force you to link everything to your account (picasa, youtube, email, etc).

One can have no real data searchable in facebook.

I'm no anti-nothing, by the way. Grew up past that long ago.
I never signed up for +1, yet I saw +1 buttons next to all my search results. While not a TV or radio ad blitz, that is a form of marketing.
Bingo.

Goldman Sachs sold a whole lot of Facebook "stock" to their clients: http://www.slate.com/id/2280261/

A way for a) facebook early investors to convert equity b) their clients to get an "early in sure thing" deal.

The motive to prop up Facebook through their media channels is quite strong...

Yes. Even in the Wikipedia article they say that they switched from ship cranes to port cranes early. Also the rest of the industry (apart from the stevedores) was quite enthusiastic and didn't need much convincing.
Scala has scala check: http://code.google.com/p/scalacheck/

Ruby, because of non static types, can't be as magical, but people have given their best: https://github.com/IKEGAMIDaisuke/rushcheck
This has popped up a few times now, but I have to wonder, are there other problems that would benefit from the attention of "human computing"?
Yes, exactly, either you don't make apps for their platform anymore (in the case of iOS) or you distribute them through your website, just like before the app store existed. Or, you could make a webapp.

Apple has been treating their developers like crap ever since the app store opened, and the only way to change it is to vote with your wallet (or more accurately in this case, your development time). Otherwise, you are part of the problem.
Google has it though. Well, this made me go to Picasa and delete everything except for random funny internet pics. Same as youtube made me go and delete all my personal flicks when they forced me to link it to my gmail account. After creating another gmail account to link it to.
+1 isn't the same as Google+

+1 is a social recommendation and bookmarking service integrated into 3rd party websites and Google's search. It is orthogonal to Google+ (although both Google+ and +1 use the same social graph).
Our patent system is FUBAR.
It would easily be sufficed with a "free app" and "paid app". Apple just doesn't make this seamless. Consequently, the "freemium" model is born through in-app "upgrades".

As someone who hasn't bought a single in-app purchase (I might if Carcasonne add expansions), are these transferrable across devices like the apps are?
All the SoCs have little cores that can't run the OS. Kal-El is the first one that can shift everything onto the little core.
Your premise seems to be that all regulation is the same. Correct me if I'm wrong but your argument essentially is saying: "financial products were regulated in 2008, well see how that worked out, therefore regulation doesn't really work well"

Sorry I don't buy that. Financial regulations put in place during the great depression worked pretty good. Then they were slowly pared back over three decades starting with Reagan. All the evidence I've seen is that the financial products were massively under regulated.

Just speculating: The inability to pay bribes could actually work out in your favour or at least not hurt you enough to matter.

Good workers don't need to be managed but are self-directed by their own desire to do a job well done and commitment they share with the vision of the company.

There is tremendous value in coming in to the office to see your colleagues face to face but sometimes not all work requires it. Perhaps these workers finished their work early as I have often heard that telecommuters are far more productive. If they didn't loop back with their managers then I would question that relationship or the worker. I wouldn't attribute telecommuting as a killer to productivity though.
I prefer to use G+ to post stuff I don't want leaving a certain group (ie, pics of the kids and family, etc). I mainly share with my family circle and sometimes "tweet" links to my friends and family circle.

I have no need or time to play the Facebook game (was fun at first, but all-consuming in the end and not worthwhile).

Google+ is Facebook for grown-ups and families, and it works as designed for me. I use LinkedIn for all my work-related social networking, which pretty much covers the rest.

For banks, customer's accounts are liabilities. When you put money in a bank account, you are in effect lending it to the bank; the bank owes you that money. When the bank itself lends out money to borrowers, those loans in turn are assets from the bank's perspective. For the bank to be solvent, the assets (loans) must exceed the liabilities (current and savings accounts and the like).

If what Felix wrote about FTP was accurate, FTP considered money from customers as assets, not liabilities, so that they could be disbursed to investors. It's a fundamental category error in accounting, and pretty clearly fraudulent, if it's as plain as that.
Well, on a very small scale, under certain assumptions, extending credit in this manner might be a net win for the business. Legal casinos offer credit backed by their ability to collect through normal channels. Even offshore/illegal, if the amounts forwarded are small, and the users have shown a propensity to zero their debts after a while in order to deposit new funds without 'burning' their whole account/name, it could make sense here, too. (I didn't notice substantiation of the magnitude of these 'phantom balances'.)

But atop the other allegations, and depending on the magnitude, it seems fishy... like a desperate move to give the insiders a bit more time to withdraw remaining funds or 'gamble for resurrection'.
I continually wonder if Wikileaks has considered that, in their fiery no-compromise campaign, they may actually be setting back progress?

What on earth could I mean? Well, in this particular case- I respect Al Jazeera. I am generally pleased with their journalism as compared to many American firms, and they have a different perspective from many American journalists, which is valuable. It could be a really good thing if Al Jazeera became a popular source for news in the USA. In that light, I can't help but wonder if a little co-operation with the US government is a small price to be paid compared to potential future payoff.

I'll actually be sitting in on this class if not enrolled in it. I look forward to another good forum where I can improve my Haskell and functional programming skills, particularly with a good instructor like Brian O'Sullivan.

I think the main advantage of a course at Stanford is access to the instructors. Sure, I could just read Real World Haskell and do all the exercises, but with the course I have a space where I can directly talk to Brian or David at least once a week if I have questions.
On the other hand, the level of sacrifice and risk is usually quite great when you consider heroic acts that saved hundreds of people.

Yes, iOS in-app purchases are transferrable across devices that are linked to the same app store account. It is a somewhat strange experience when you do it the first time because you are basically expected to "buy" the item on the additional device and then at the last moment the system determines that you already paid for it and provides it for free -- I had visions of getting a bill for multiple in-app purchases of the same item but in the end it all worked out.
How would Al Jazeera becoming a popular news source be a good thing, if you now know that the network is a US gov't shill?

There's no progress, only perceived progress, where the US gov't gave you the illusion of choice of news networks.

Yesod is a web framework. It is designed to display web pages with some sort of datastore backing them. If you had a CRUD-type app with a few different data models then Yesod will make it really easy to generate the appropriate HTML and forms and make them type safe. It extends the Haskell all the way down to the application layer, assuming standard HTML as your primary response and a certain data representation and persistence layer.

Snap (I have only looked at it. Please correct me) seems like it only goes as far as the HTTP layer. It's designed so you can implement web services. Those services might return HTML, but they might return JSON or XML. It doesn't care or help you with your data representation. You have to do your own data persistence and display layers.
