I agree all of these things would be good to learn in a course. I think a course that taught these things would be better structured as a course that teaches about these, and then at some point have a 15 minute talk (or a set/project) about how these concepts affect the load time for web pages and how one can make pages load faster.

There is a course at my school that's somewhat similar to this (http://courses.cms.caltech.edu/cs144/ ), but it looks at web from a very theoretical level. Out of the list you posted above, it definitely teaches about how the internet is architechted (and therefore why CDN's are a good idea). DNS is covered in a networking class, and compression (lossy and lossless) is addressed in other classes.

It seems like many of the things this Stanford course teaches are things that CS students should already know from other CS classes and they just have to figure out how to apply them. The class seems like it could be a valuable introduction to non CS majors who just want to understand how the web works so they can build some web app or something.
Why didn't you call it something non-controversial like "A visualisation of open-source software dependencies" instead of "A nice picture of (dependency) hell", then?

> Does everyone get this free education, or just some people?

Yeah, there's room for everyone. Class sizes are limited so acceptance into programs is merit-based (high school grades or a special test), but worst case you just have to settle for a less prestigious school.

There is actually a time limit to the stipend (IIRC 300 weeks of study) to avoid abuse, but it's also dependent on you actually passing courses.
The obvious answer is that the former would not generate nearly so much interest/clicks/attention.
If you guys like this project, Green Goose is another sensor based system coming out: http://greengoose.com/

Overall sensors + connectivity will be getting very cheap soon and it is cool to see a project like this see beyond this to include ifttt type functionality integrating other existing systems and actions.

The move to become the platform for all of data being generated by devices like this is getting heated as well (not sure if the Twine guys are thinking this route or not with the Spool web app) With Pachube, Thingworx, and a whole host of others attempting to become this centralized hub. It will be interesting to see if we end up with specialized platforms for different segments of our lives (i.e: one for health, one for your home, etc) or if a 'Facebook' for your things will emerge.

Sure, if the budget is big enough, it makes sense to go to PrimeSense directly rather than messing around with Kinects.

Unfortunately the project I made was nothing like that. The client was a major Finnish multinational tech company (one that doesn't make phones), but their R&D is so backwards and completely oriented towards incremental improvements that this project had to be sneaked in through the marketing budget, using whatever crumbs of money they had left.

It is a dependency hell, ready to fire at the moment one of the packages changes its interface (API, behaviour, file layout, ...) recursively breaking a fraction of its dependents. Then you end up with multiple versions of the same package, versioned libraries, private copies of libraries and tools, and so on.

Reuse works great on a small scale, but otherwise requires a lot of discipline both from the provider (who must refrain from interface changes, or have support for multiple versions from day one), and the consumer (who should be very considerate on which packages and features he uses).
I understand your pain. I have my own long history of projects that flew from start to finish below corporate radar.
There are run plays (a draw for example) where the o-line blocks like it's a pass. They can also block like it's a run for a play action pass and still give the qb enough time to throw the ball.

One thing that isn't clear on TV is just how hard it can be during a play to see just where the ball is. Linemen are huge and RBs are typically shorter guys. When the play goes off it's often hard to see exactly what is happening and the defense is reacting to cues more so than seeing right where the ball is at that time.

I find the article a little overzealous; while I'm no staunch capitalist, including sentences like "The web in its current, open state is a threat to capitalist ideals" doesn't help convince me about your goals.

And yes, while this is partially true, a lot of legitimate businesses and people who aren't motivated enough to "go dark" also drive the internet, and they're not going to be so easily forced underground - any such internet would be a shadow of its former self, and an easy thing for governments to demonise with the usual examples (drug trafficking, child pornography, etc.)

This article seems to be just the kind of positive vibe that geeks love to read: "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." Yeah, right. I don't see any evidence that we will have a usable underground internet soon, and in the meantime an ultra-censored, walled-garden internet appears inevitable.

Technical efforts might eventually create a platform which cannot be controlled by the government but it will be a very long time before this is usable for all but the most technical people. By the time something is ready for the the average public we will have had a censored internet and no viable uncensored platform for many years. How will you convince average joe that they should be interested in such a project? This will be a niche service used by child pornographers, drug traffickers, file sharers and freedom geeks. Good luck convincing anybody to identify with that group.
To be a performance there has to be a creative element, not just a skill. Like wrestling for example, which is pre-scripted.

In that case, you can link as well everything statically. That's what one of my open source projects is about. [1]

Linking everything statically works usually quite well, except if you use libraries that make some assumptions about being dynamically linked (e.g. GTK+).

The benefit is that you have one big EXE file for which you don't even need an installer. Also, it is usually smaller than the previous bunch of DLLs because static linking omits code that won't be called anyway. You can even run an EXE packer [2] on your result, making it even small and easier to deploy. The total memory usage, however, stays the same, of course.

The downside is that you need a good build system for that.

I know what the author is trying to say, but the way it's being said doesn't resonate with me. GRPN may fall to half its IPO price, but it won't be a half price deal, it will simply be worth less today than it was at IPO time.

The markets for stocks behave very differently than the markets for, say, spa treatments, in large part because nobody has commoditized spa treatments. Buying a spa treatment for half off doesn't say something about the market valuing it differently today than yesterday, it says something about the spa's marginal cost of offering a treatment during an idle time slot and price discrimination.

Whereas, GRPN's price says something about market segmentation alone: The folks who bought the hype have all bought the stock and now it will trade according to the expectations of the rest of the market.
If you're trying to say that the EU makes better decisions than the local government I would tell you that it's at best hit and miss. I wouldn't go as far as to call this decision a fluke, but I've generally found the EU to make more bad decisions than good on the whole.

The only thing about the C syntax version is you still end up with a bunch of double quotes all over the place. The #1 reason I have for using multi-line strings currently is when writing full-out SQL or Javascript code inside C#; using C#'s @-prefixed strings make the whole thing a lot prettier to look at IMO.

For me personally I'll probably never have to write multi-line JS strings more than once a year so I don't really care about the feature, but I do agree with their way of implementing them.
It's always been in the back of my mind to try and put something like that together.

>You need to start with anything, NOW. No excuses. //

So I've got a problem and an outline solution. I just need R&D capital and a few months in a workshop to create a prototype, get a patent and then take that looking for investments ...

How do I start "NOW" with what I have, no money, no time, no workshop.

Enthusiasm doesn't solve every problem.
Recent (French) history tells us that this argument will probably not be taken into account by the law makers, because they are in majority incompetent, and more importantly this argument isn't backed with promises of positive income nor better behaviour. They will blindly look at the exposed pros and cons, and their limited expertise will merely say "so what" to these cons. The SOPA project, much like all Internet regulation projects, are considered as short-term "win-win" deals and long-term "win-don't care" deals with the Entertainment Majors. Since they expect the masses to not understand the cons either and keep voting the way they always did, they don't foresee any negative mid-term consequences either.

Arguments against Internet Regulation laws have to include profits for the government, otherwise I'm afraid the law makers will keep on not listening.

Plus it is annoying to hear the Li-Ion chemistry described as "humble". It is more of a stuck up diva. Charge over 90%? Rapid degradation. Discharge under 10%? Rapid degradation.

And this is not even mentioning the extremely fickle charge controllers that can make the cells catch fire. Li-ion batteries also have horrible energy volume (MJ/L) and have been central to planned obsolescence in consumer electronics.

" Whether you're playing drums or building a business, you're going to be pretty bad at something the first time you try it. The second time isn't much better. Over time, and after a lot of practice, you begin to get there."
It seems like one of the biggest problems with Wikipedia is the admin class. They often adopt this "us vs them" bunker mentality like one discovers with a few bad police apples. This especially true with new and unregistered users.
Exactly! You also get to see the third dimension a bit better and understand how skilled QBs are at not just putting the throw on a spot, but also the arc on getting it there.
I know, I know, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to explore the ideas of how the markets differ. As for kicking them while they're down, given that the founders have already walked away with the money, the people getting "punished" are employees and the sucker investors who bought the story.

People will probably call for stricter lockup periods, but as long as investment banks and VCs are allowed to get rich flipping IPOs, this sort of thing is going to keep happening. These founders were just ruthless enough to get themselves a seat at the dinner table instead of being the servants ladling out the soup.
Ask HN: Is there a list of banned sites anywhere?
Just wondering.

I regularly read 15-30 sites with commentary (I love listening to smart people argue about difficult subjects)

I just posted something from the Washington Times, and it was made auto dead. While the Times does a LOT of political hackery stuff (much like HuffPo) on rare occasion it has something of value. (This was a piece about endemic corruption from both parties in Congress. I was interested as a hacker to see what kinds of structural reforms HN'ers might purpose, including apps and sites, that could help. I feel that if we don't describe problems, we never get around to solving them.)

So is there a list somewhere? Or do we just submit things and then see whether the auto-kill takes them or not? Isn't there some kind of penalty for the poster if they post things from bad sites?
