That's pretty heavy going though — I remember my algorithms lecturer suggesting we should only get those tomes for the geek points. Meanwhile, Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest and Stein's Introduction to Algorithms is relatively cheap, has good explanations, a more modern presentation of psuedocode, and a breadth of material that covers all the algorithms you could be expected to know as a general programmer, plus some more.

Are we personalizing away diversity? – On echo chambers like Facebook & Google
I've had similar experiences as well. I don't believe a word of Facebook's stated policies. Their employees defending them here is even more laughable. We've sold our souls to the devil. How did we ever get in this mess?
Facebook could have stored your email address as part of your friend's account, eg "an email address this person is friendly with". Your account, posts and friends and all, are gone, but you leave traces of yourself with your friends. These traces could be reconstructed.

If you're looking for verses to explore for yourself, start at chapter 45 verse 1 on the scroll of Isaiah, http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/isaiah?id=45:1

Here, Isaiah names Cyrus the Great, 150 years before his birth, and goes on to describe how the Lord ("HaShem" on the scroll) would use him as a foreigner to demolish the empire of Babylonia and restore the Jewish people out of exile (http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/isaiah?id=45:13).

Josephus, the Jewish historian, in his Antiquities, records that the Jews in Babylonian captivity showed Cyrus the prophecies of the Old Testament Scriptures which contained his name and described his role in the scheme of God. The historian says that it was this circumstance that motivated the ruler to fulfill what was written, and to issue his edict permitting Israel's return to her homeland (http://books.google.co.za/books?id=kyaoIb6k2ccC&pg=PA359).

Shortly after chapter 45, Isaiah writes in chapter 46:8, "Remember this and stand firm, recall it to mind, you transgressors, remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose...'" (http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/isaiah?id=46:10)

Then from chapter 49 to chapter 53, Isaiah foretells the servant of the Lord, Israel and its embodiment in the person of the Messiah, and his suffering and rejection by his own people, how "he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed" (http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/isaiah?id=53:5) and how "like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth" (http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/isaiah?id=53:7) and how "they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death" (http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/isaiah?id=53:9).

It is often said that the words of the OT have a remarkable weightiness to them. I recall reading that Ernest Hemingway at one time used to read the OT to absorb this quality in his own writings.

I concur. Perhaps it's best to rephrase the point about geek adoption versus mainstream adoption. Geeks live in possible futures. Some of these futures materialize (i.e. go mainstream), others don't.

The Internet fatigue Chris talks about, I see it all around me, and more and more articles are popping up about Internet addictions. Plus I suspect the new Facebook redesign will suck people in even more. So in this case, I think he's definitely got a good point.
Relevant xkcd: http://xkcd.com/917/
Why three random elements though? If you expect some structure in the array, then picking pivots based on that structure makes more sense (e.g. first, middle and last for sorted, reverse sorted for partially sorted arrays).

On the other hand, if you are sorting unsanitised input, then random is good, but it should be secure pseudo-random numbers if it's important to your security/performance whilst under attack.

Stanford Interview
It would make more sense, but there are clear examples of socialism working in various forms, throughout Europe, China, Australia. So when reality counters a fairly weak and stretched analogy. I am skeptical (to say the least).

Socialism doesn't have to be the huge stifling of wealth.

China is generating wealth with Socialism with Chinese Characteristic™

Australia has highly socialist policies (free health care, study allowance, subsidised education, pensions, unemployment benefits), yet still boasts a robust capital-generating society, that has avoided recession (so-far) post GFC.

There are no "true capitalist" (true being 'everyone is a capitalist') countries either, because it simply doesn't work. One needs to exploit something (usually someone) in order to generate capital, and if everyone were looking to do this, there would be no one to exploit, and thus no surplus value, no profit, thus no motive for business.

You can run a Google campaign by registering yourself on Google Adwords. Here you can check how your site is working. You can use banner advertising.
This link was really insightful - worth watching the movie.

I usually try to avoid strong opinions when it comes to this sort of thing because my own service relies on Facebook. However, I agree 100% that Facebook and increasingly other sites attached to Facebook via Connect act as filter bubbles - deepening the divide among people with different points of view by arbitrarily reinforcing content that you're already viewing. Example: if you view something liberal, Facebook cuts out other types of content and feeds you similar stuff. You view something conservative, and the same feedback loop perpetuates itself in another direction. The same applies to just about anything - have an uncanny fascination with cat videos? Facebook will perpetuate that filter bubble too: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dramatic-Cat-Video/41352344010...

Another great insight: Facebook's frictionless sharing is killing taste - see this insightful article on Slate: http://www.slate.com/id/2304425/

Meanwhile, another bit of the gov't appears to be working on this! http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2011/09/16/247916/Gov...
I have been alienated from the startup scene because I find that the current tech-startup scene is not about technology. Sure, when a startup gets big, it has to deal with scale: this is a territory where some deep engineering is needed. But other than that it is not the kind of research and development I admire. A lot of influental people in the startup scene has not a clue what creative engineering is about. (Think about Tim Ferris as an extremity.)
I know what social is. I know what a lean startup is, I have internalized some of the wisdom of Steve Blank and others.

But I don't care about them now. I don't care about customer aquisition. I don't care about reelase early-release often. I am an engineer, and I am better at it than any of the self-help gurus out there. As an engineer I have my own internal thought processes which I have refined for years. I research and develop ambitious and deep technology. I think about the technology under the shower and on the train. Graphs, hierarchies, O(logn)-s, objects, classes and functions, (even conceptual) refactorings, sometimes even axioms and theorems are dancing in my mind all day. I have lots of TODO-s. I have new ideas every day. I know what to improve, I just need time, and I will improve those things. My motto is: TODO: 'optimize this further', 'TODO: figure this out', 'TODO: think about this from a new perspective', 'TODO: consider refactoring this in xyz way'. (I create a new GUI system in Javascript completely drawn on HMTL5 canvas. Kind of reinventing RIAs.) Engineering is important and brutally overlooked nowadays. Suprisingly few startups do ambitious deeply technical things.

For those who are interested, the tutorial is doable in Python too. One thing to watch out for is that things that appear as properties are at times functions; so safari.windows [rb] turns to safari.windows() [py] and "window.currentTab.name" [rb] turns to "window.currentTab().name() [py].
There is some truth in what you say, but that line of reasoning can quickly go out of hand. I mean, you could also argue that every time they increase their system requirements, they do not act out of humanity towards others.

Also, I can imagine that Canonical is looking out for more and better sources of revenue. A dead Ubuntu is of no use to anyone either.
Ditto. I have come to love my little "TAG" button that comes with the Chrome delicious plugin, but it doesn't work any more .. this is definitely a feature regression. I wouldn't have so much use out of Delicious if it weren't so easy to tag a site - the current multi-click futzing around is very frustrating, and of course it really doesn't help that the image/URL code for the "Save a Link" button is broken, so you can't actually drag the button to your bookmark toolbar, as they suggest.

Not cool, new Delicious owners. We dedicated users are getting a bit ticked off here .. I'll give it a week before I switch to Pinboard or some other local, smart, solution for managing my bookmark collections.

Email, still not dead.

My work has gradually moved from Web -> Email. I learned about email while working as a sys admin for a website sending 100k mailouts and now I've become a bit of a specialist writing email apps. Postfix is my weapon of choice, you can extend it externally via its unix pipe & socket routing.

Currently I'm building an outgoing SMTP service for people network hopping - Wifi, 3g etc.

It has been interesting to see the rise in inter-SMTP server communications going SSL. Google & Hotmail, for instance, both use TLS to send their email, even when there's no requirement to do so, TLS is chosen first.

So people often trumptet BBM as end-to-end secure but if you use Google Mail with your mobile email and set it to TLS only and only send to other Google & Hotmail users then the same is true.

I've also had a report of a German ISP that deep packets SMTP traffic and changes STARTTLS to XXX "for security reasons". I suspect that they have a tap in front of their closed source MTA to log the traffic to satisfy the European Data Retention Directive.

I'm a big supporter of HTML5 and I strongly dislike Flash, by that's ludicrous. You can't just put a game designed for desktop/laptop screen sizes and for the mouse/keyboard and expect it to work as-is on the iPhone.
The game may load, but it won't be playable. You need to do a version for that type of UI. HTML5 would enable reuse of the backend, but not much more.

Whenever there's change, there's always some degree of resistance. That being said...

Why the obsession with sparse layouts? Too much information can be negative, yes, but the old layout was compact yet not overwhelming.

Where's the tag cloud? This may be the single most annoying thing with the new layout... Not only the tag cloud was a more compact way to display all the tags, but it also emphasized the more frequently used ones.

Where's the tag filtering? Previously I could click on a tag, and then add other tags to display only the bookmarks that matched all of them.

What's up with the picture on links whenever they have a comment?

And finally...

When you have something that works, why in $DEITY's name will you go out on a rampage and rewrite it from scratch? You know, if people used the site, maybe it had something going for it...

The worst part about the web app for me is the amount of 'mystery meat' navigation that's invisible unless you hover over it - something we don't have on Tablets.

It's very good to see that delicious is getting improved again. I think that it'll will be the replacement of search engines in couple of years. It's chaotic enough to collect information from the web and strong enough to provide better ways of accessing information.

I recently picked up:

The Smartest Investment Book You'll Ever Read: The Proven Way to Beat the "Pros" and Take Control of Your Financial Future by Daniel Solin. A good basic starter book and very short.

For a larger (and timely) economic view, I also slogged through This Time is Different by Reinhart and Rogoff. This book kind of looks at macro-economic conditions around recessions in history to abstract out a pattern around recessions, currency collapses, and depressions. It is not about the stockmarket in a very specific way.

Neither of these sources are particularly hacker-centric viewpoints of the market. Are you looking for algorithmic trading stuff? You might want to check out http://quant.ly/
"Money, also, is finite. The more someone else has, the less everyone else has. It's impossible for everyone to be rich. In order for someone to win, many have to loose."

But money are only tokens. Products and services created by economy is what makes economy strong, not tokens it uses (imagine all prices and salaries going up 10 times - what would change?).

Limited amount of money can suffice for everyody, if everybody is efficiently doing something useful to others, then limited amount of money circulates in economy, and everybody has it for some time, buing what he needs and selling what he produces. That's theory at least.

Problem is - sometimes nobody wants to buy what you produce at your price - then you are poor and rich keep their money for themselves.
You're still thinking apps. Amazon features the largest eBookstore, one of the largest MP3 stores, one of the largest tv/movie streaming libraries.

That's the value proposition. I think the App store is going to be like the Browser on the kindle: some will use it, but it's not going to be the main focus.
