I actually built a service like this for internal use a couple of years ago.

I worked at an agency, we were responsible for the web sites of companies of which many were listed at various exchanges. This included handling the publication of press releases. The exchange rules are pretty strict, if a press release is leaked early, you are in a world of hurt. If you publish it too late, you are in a world of hurt. The fines could be draconian in nature.

This led to inane publication work flows, where literally nothing would be allowed to touch anything that could somehow be connected to the internet. The press releases are handed to us in encrypted form. The publication is prepared one day in advance, and at 5am a couple of poor souls have to show up at the office and publish them before the exchange opens, they also have to trigger newsletters. They also had to take print screens of every change they made and file them in a folder.

Because our clients could fine us hundreds of thousands of dollars for mistakes, among other things, I created an automated screen shot service that regularly takes screen shots of certain areas on the client web pages and also downloads the associated html source. External guys audited the application. This is basically just a precaution so that no client can claim we somehow accidentally leaked unwanted information. It's also there to prove that we managed to publish everything in time.

Now of course, once you have something like this in place, someone has to monitor it to make sure it works all the time :) lol...

There is an interesting issue in the philosophy of science regarding the "hard center" of theories. Basically any prediction about a reasonably complicated situation will rely on a large number of premises.

If you happen to be committed to one premise more than the others, you will always blame one of the other premises when an observation doesn't fit your hypothesis.

In the case of sexism there are so many confounding factors that you'll never be able to say with certainty that sexism is the root cause, only that there is a good chance that it is.

If there is a good chance that something bad is happening then it seems like you could reasonably be expected to produce a non-zero amount of effort in avoiding it.
The Essential Setup To Begin Unit Testing
Don't you think navies are getting a little outdated in their current form? I have to think going forward it's going to be all missiles and anti-missile missiles. Not saying that having a good missile defense won't also be expensive, but probably cheaper to have missiles based on the sea stead than having missiles on a destroyer floating next to the sea stead.

But honestly, it seems hard to really see a hot war between a Libertarian sea stead and a 1st world democracy. The 1st world aggressor would probably do the sanctions thing instead. Actual wars seem to be when one side is authoritarian or fascist or else religion is somehow involved.
> Someone mentioned "modern history" missing.

That would be me. 1869 might be a bit early for Civil War history to show up, but nothing on the War of 1812 or even the Revolution? Nothing on the history of Westward Expansion?

I understand going back to the sources ("ad fontes") and education for its own sake, but I've never seen something that implies an education that is so divorced from anything of the time the people receiving it are living in.

Sorry, but startups should not be relying on TC or any other blog coverage to launch their startup. TC only has power if you give it to them, because the 50k hits they give you are extremely low quality. 99% or more bounce after reading 2-4 words because by definition they are pundits or other founders, not customers of your service.

Remember, if you're in touch with real potential customers who are excited for you to solve their real problem that you've qualified in exchange for actual, bankable money then you don't need to even care that TC exists.

Plane geometry was, at the time, perhaps the premier formal system to be studied as such; now, we get the same concepts across using calculus (which doesn't seem to be mentioned on the exam) and set theory (which would only really take shape in the 1870s).

(The history of mathematics doesn't get so much as a mention, either, but I don't expect it to.)

If anyone is struggling to stay on top of notetaking or organizing their life digitally, I highly recommend org-mode and deft-mode.

One day I will blog about what org-mode has done for my life, but for now just accept my word: I have typed tens of thousands of words into each of EverNote, Tomboy, and TiddlyWiki. I attempted to use Remember the Milk, Google Tasks, and other todo apps for years. I also unsuccessfully struggled to recall information by bookmarking and tagging three thousand websites in delicious. Nothing worked and I was on the verge of giving up for sanity's sake and just emailing myself reminders and notes.

Then I discovered org-mode and took control. I can recall and store any information in seconds. Org mode can do absolutely everything. Ask and you shall learn.
Feds Seize Domain Names of Korean Movie Portals
Interesting idea. I'll list down what I want to learn here then:

- Python
- Django
- jQuery
- Bash
- XHTML and CSS
- Physics (currently learning at college)
- Mathematics (same)
- Psychology
- Philosophy
- Sci-fi reading
- Islamic finance
- World history

Now that I look at the whole picture, most of the topics are unrelated, save the first two..
There are two big points I wanted to make.

1) _This isn't just a matter of taste._ Choice of license has moral value. Although legally "it's my party and I can GPL if I want to" I don't think this is the case morally, and I try to argue that it the post.

2) _Copyleft is not anti-copyright._ Copyleft imposes additional restrictions that are not possible in a world without copyright. Copyfree (and specifically copyright waivers in countries that allow them) best simulate a world where we can share freely and also choose to withhold freely.

3) _Copyleft is often used specifically to sell proprietary software._ This is because the arrangement between creator and licensees is much more asymmetric in copyleft. If you're directly selling the software you're licensing then you're probably going to need to use a copyleft license.

I think #2 is well known although not often written about, and #1 seems contrary to what people on all sides (copy{right,left,free}) say. I haven't seen #3 written about elsewhere.

Those are my points, did that clarify or muddy?
I feel the same way. It wasn't until now that I realized my learning "hitlist" was really a histogram at heart. However, instead of tick marks I use list item comments. I also have to add that formatting my notes well (I use html) is essential--otherwise I'll avoid reviewing them.
This is a great illustration of the difference between "works" and Works.

This implementation is unsettling to me, while the original Path version is pleasant. It's hard to pin down - they're very close. (I think it's the animation speed and rapidly spinning icons mostly.)

As someone put it in another post it's the difference between the works of Google/Microsoft et. al. and the Works of Apple, Path, etc. The former would see this and sign off - "it works" like we specified, while at latter, this would be a good first pass and then "make 10 refinements" to get it to "feel" right.

No offense Beau, I'm just using yours as an example.
So you really think that she did encounter sexism, based on her description of the dispute?

Because that's where I question her. This situation reeked to me of one engineer trying to shovel shit onto another one, and the response seemed to be that of a more level headed manager trying to defuse the situation so that nobody ended up fired.

Which is not something that I'm willing to pin on sexism without some evidence. Especially having been the relatively-level-headed manager (in a male-v-male situation) in the unfortunate position of being between one engineer and his rival, which is unfortunately not a very rare situation, given the types of personalities that take on sysadmin jobs. It's not pleasant, and given the expense of finding new engineers, trust me, you're willing to do anything to avoid having to fire the (seemingly competent, despite the intra-office-feuds that might arise) ones that you have, including telling the better sysadmins to shut the fuck up and stop complaining about their colleagues.

A Developer's Manifesto: Code Accountability
I think you can be controlled by as much as someone else controls what controls you. EG, you need to eat, someone controls your food, so they control you to the extent that they can get away with before their position of power is compromised. If you think you are free, think again, you are controlled by whatever choices come to you: when two people want A, then someone either gets B or nothing at all. But spiritually people don't really want A, they want freedom, and the foolish think they can get it by imposing tyranny. I have A (freedom), so you have B (tyranny). Or rather, I impose B on you (tyranny), therefore I have A (freedom) by default. Wrong - it's not true freedom, freedom transcends A and B.

"This way of thinking about stimulus and perception clearly indicates that the Weber-Fechner law ought to have a profound effect on the rate at which we absorb information."

>We really should try harder to not psychoanalyze people we don't know based on their blog posts. Clearly she was in a frustrating situation, and that situation culminated in this particular event, which she felt was unfair. I'd be inclined to leave it at that at this point -- sort of an Occam's Razor Of Psychology.

But you're claiming we should "leave it at" the point where she's assumed to be correct, and telling it as it is, assuming that her anecdote was, in fact, an instance of gross sexism, indicative of a problem within the IT community.

Personally, I consider "leaving it" via Occam's Razor to mean assuming nothing new, which in this case would mean discarding her anecdote. Hell, I'm even willing to accept her anecdote as true, I merely reject the consequent, the conclusion that because some guy thought she was being harsh to a co-worker that means that the guy was sexist. Fine, she was upset, but I see no reason to assume that anything here had any relation to her being female rather than male, certainly nothing she related would support that fact.

Really, do you think that's so unreasonable?

5 jQuery Snippets For A More Responsive Web Page

This is already happening in the real world, driven by a number of companies which the author does not mention:

http://www.ultraglobalprt.com/
http://www.2getthere.eu/
http://www.vectusprt.com/

There is currently a system operating at Heathrow Airport; another at a campus in Abu Dahbi; and a third under construction at a national park in South Korea. Additional small systems are in the planning stages for a few more cities / institutions around the world.

Skimming the article (unfortunately I don't have time to read it in depth), it appears that the author has basically reinvented http://www.skytran.net/ -- a conceptual PRT system which has been kicking around for at least a decade and a half. Real-world PRT systems tend to be considerably more modest in their ambitions, following the "find a tiny niche" strategy of classic disruptive technologies (in the Christensen sense of the term), rather than trying to immediately become the be-all end-all of urban transport infrastructure.

Also, skimming the article, it appears that the author makes a number of quite silly mistakes -- curiously, the exact same mistakes that the Skytran people do -- concerning the dynamics and requirements of urban transport. For example, assuming a mean speed of 45 mph for existing transport is grossly wrong: it ranges from about 35 mph to well under 20 mph for more congested cities. (Here in London, it's 16mph -- a number which hasn't changed for over a century). This has some profound implications for how fast you need to go to provide a highly effective alternative, and correspondingly what your grid sizes, turning radii, etc. should be. It looks like the author gets all of this wrong, starting from a few bad assumptions.

Disclaimer: I used to work for Ultra PRT, and currently work for a large transport/planning consultancy, advising on PRT installations around the world.
After consuming this article, the update, and the comments here, this is the take on the situation I'm walking away with:

1. The manager was unjustified in saying that W was "too hard on S".

2. Based on the story in the article, it's not fair to say that the manager's unjustified statement was based on sexism. There isn't enough evidence to conclude that.

3. Rachel very well might have experienced sexism in the situation she wrote about and various other ones, and Rachel simply didn't explain it well enough in her article, or could only remember this ambiguous example where it's not entirely clear that there was sexism.
Exactly. And a lot of cities started implementing bike rental systems.
I keep all of my ebooks in my ipad and have library, active, and completed sections. I have four books in my active section that I read through as time goes on and every time I complete a topic I pop a book from active onto completed and push another into my active section. I found I was shifting too quickly between books whenever I got disinterested or the material got tough and I would never pick them up again until weeks later which gave me very little context for what I was learning. Finishing books and being able to review them gives you much more closure on topics and makes you retain the material better. By having four I still allow myself to shuffle a bit but it reminds me to force my way though the hard parts when a book's been sitting there too long. Maybe once a month I'll map out my interests and try and find books pertaining to them and add them to my collection. Most of the major publishers have good daily deals on ebooks, and my library has a really good collection of hard copy books when I'm strapped for cash.

>> "it has six times more pixels."

> That's irrelevant, since the GPU does all the heavy lifting.

The article: "There is still a limit to how much the GPU can do." (And the rest of that paragraph.)

Yes, having 6 times more pixes is very relevant. The GPU needs to be 6 times faster and have 6 times the bandwidth.

> I'm replying to this: "It has a much higher resolution than iPhone 3GS. In fact, it has six times more pixels." That has zero to do with the article.

Conclusion: You did not read the article - you just skimmed the first paragraph.

For those of you who believe that the incident described is not not one of sexism: the author's purpose is to describe an incident and explain to you that it is, in fact, sexism. Her goal is that you watch yourself more closely that you do not create an incident similar to the one she described.

Whether or not the incident described was, in fact, sexism, it could have been and similar events should be avoided.

Call me old fashioned, but I think notes of different topics shouldn't mingle with one another, and dumping all your notes in one file is a recipe for creeping disorder.

I use Deft for listing note files and performing full-text searches to find the right one. Deft is buggy and I would like something better, so most of the time I fallback to using Ido. I fuzzy-match filenames in the minibuffer and only open Deft when I have no choice.

I added functions to Deft for using multiple note directories:
https://github.com/aantn/castle/blob/master/home/.emacs.d/cu...

Warning: The above functions might break Deft's ability to create new notes (it might already be broken). I create the files myself with C-x C-f (or <leader>f in Evil), because I like descriptive filenames.
