Quick explanation: In orthodox judaism, one is not supposed to operate a light-switch on the Sabbath.

I'm not jewish, but some of my friends are observant (but progressive) and use the Sabbath as a day of reflection. This seems to completely go against the spirit of the rule (to spend a day living simply with friends and family, without technology for maximum reflection, introspection, and rest).

I don't see how this gadget would catch on -- unless someone is bound is follow the rule to the letter, but doesn't really want to (but then at that point, they should just stop adhering IMHO)

I just downloaded Xcode Tools 1.0 from Apple's developer site, for free (I'm not a paid developer). Xcode 1.0 was released in 2003 for OS X 10.3.

Also available are 1.5, 2.3, 2.4, 2.4.1, 3.0, 3.1, 3.1.1, on through to the latest 4.x versions, free for the taking. All versions prior to 4 will happily build code for PowerPC.

Where is the "We are Sorry" post? That's what it takes to apologize for taking advantage of platforms that accidentally allow access to more data than they should, right?
As far as I understand it, some orthodox jews are not permitted to do any "work" on the sabbath.

Some factions believe that flicking a light switch is "work," or that pressing a button is "work." So some enterprising fellows have been creating ingenious inventions to allow observant orthodox jews to live comfortably while still not technically violating their rules.

It all seems pretty silly to me, but you have to admit, it is indeed hacking and I think the devices are clever.

One specific example is an elevator, which has a sabbath mode. On the sabbath, it will stop and open its doors at every floor, over and over, so that an observant rider can simply walk on, and walk off at their desired floor, without the perceived sin of pressing the button for their floor.
It's all clientside, so there's no risk here of sharing. But it's cool, hombre.

It doesn't seem to work for me. I am on a network where all web proxies are blocked. I tried accessing anonymouse.org and I got the default page which is used to inform blocked domains on my network. I can ping to the ip of anonymouse.org. I tested whether I have setup dnscrypt correctly with: "sudo tcpdump udp port dns" it showed very long unreadable lines which I have not seen before using dnscrypt. For anonymouse.org this was the tcp dump output:

12:57:43.523694 IP mypc-ubuntu.local.38481 > resolver2.opendns.com.domain: 28982 updateM [b2&3=0x666e] [27192a] [30295q] [20660n] [52086au][|domain]

There should have been a third line with the encrypted lines, but it doean't show up for anonymouse.org. Where as the third line with encrypted payload gets shown to the domains that are whitelisted in my network.

I am Jewish.

So I can tell you that you are 100% right. I don't think this is really going to catch on for that very reason. Sabbath is a day set aside for family, religion, and not working.

I think what the main use is going to be is people will install it for emergencies. So I'm sure in Israel a lot of people will put it in their bomb shelters so if they need to spend Sabbath in the shelter and need to use the light, it won't be directly going against Sabbath.

Why more people are opting for online shopping websites 
Online shopping has become immensely popular in recent times. You will pretty much be able to find an internet shopping site for nearly every one of your favorite stores. Online shopping websites were initially favored just by the youth however n recent times more and more people are starting to shop online.
Another "hack" us Jews use very often is a timer. We have a timer hooked up to an outlet, and plug things into the timer, so you can set certain times to allow the electricity through, and other times not to.

Spent 2 days getting a html5 client side image resizer/uploader only to hit this killer bug.

Had to use Flash in the end, which by the way performs like a demon on binary data.
you guys just made cross service image integration Simple. Cool!
I find it annoying as well, because I use a tiling window manager, which makes opening a file manager just to drag & drop annoying - not a whole lot more, but just enough that it's not really worth it.

I don't mind having that as the default, but at least give people an option to select files the old-fashioned way, and make it easy to find within ~5 or ~10 seconds of looking at the page...

Imgur does this well, if you ask me - support for drag & drop, menu, and copy/pasting URL.
I'm glad to see that they're staying on top of this wave of momentum. The worst thing they could possibly do now is stagnate.

> you have a naive and non-legal concept

I'm curious as to why your immediate response was to claim that I don't know anything about the legal concept of privacy.

1. This is not a court.

2. Very few of us are lawyers.

3. Nobody is talking about criminal charges or civil suits.
Is it really that user 'unfriendly'? It seems sort of obvious, you have this button that looks raised above a track with the guide to slide to unlock. From what we've seen of toddlers and babies grabbing iPads and iPhones and unlocking them on first use I think Apple has created a pretty friendly unlock interface.

I wouldn't call it a gimmick either, because it works. I've never had an iPhone pocket dial on me.
Hm, I thought the prior art argument was pretty convincing the last time Apple tried this.

No, #Anonymous can't DDoS the root DNS servers
To protest SOPA, Wallstreet, our irresponsible leaders and the beloved bankers who are starving the world for their own selfish needs out of sheer sadistic fun, On March 31 2012, anonymous will shut the Internet down.

In order to shut the Internet down, one thing is to be done. Down the 13 root DNS servers of the Internet. Those servers are as follow:

A 198.41.0.4
B 192.228.79.201
C 192.33.4.12
D 128.8.10.90
E 192.203.230.10
F 192.5.5.241
G 192.112.36.4
H 128.63.2.53
I 192.36.148.17
J 192.58.128.30
K 193.0.14.129
L 199.7.83.42
M 202.12.27.33

#Anonymous hackers have announced "Operation Global Blackout", promising to cause an Internet-wide blackout by disabling the core DNS servers. DNS is the phonebook of the Internet that translates machine names (like "www.facebook.com") to network addresses (like "66.220.158.25"). If hackers can disable the global DNS name system, then typing in your favorite website into your browser will produce an error.

When I read something (mentally), I can see that there are two parallel processes that take place:

1. The "physical" aspect of mental reading - mentally sounding out the words that are in front of me. This is quite fast already and is pretty mechanical.

2. Converting the words into meaning and registering it in my mind. This is the much harder task, and you actively need to focus to do this.

To see that these two are indeed parallel processes, notice that it's possible to "read" something in your mind without any of it actually registering while you think of something else, say a narrative about just how awesome your life would be if X or Y were true. I often have to actively break the internal narrative and pull myself back to focusing on what's read.

The focusing part is the real bottleneck, not the mechanical reading part. This is painfully obvious especially when you are trying to learn information-dense material such as Mathematics, where you have to pause to recall definitions, follow argumentation, and so on.
How Sockets Work
Not really an official announcement so much as the name we're calling it now until we settle on a decisive, permanent name by the time we launch not-free workshops. But probably since we've just anchored on it we'll stick with it unless we get hiccups in market testing. From what we've seen, the most common response/objection we've heard is "but what do you mean modern?" which in the scheme of objections we've ever heard is a pretty good one, as that's a good conversation starter for about how modern means based on current cognitive science.

If there are any talks, it would be great if they could be uploaded for those of us who can't attend.

Boilerplate 1.0 for Drupal 7: Responsive HTML5 & SASS
I agree of course that it's simpler.

This reasoning reminds me of the "nutritionist" argument (as I understand it from Michael Pollan's book In Defense of Food), in which individual nutrients are presumed to contain in toto the benefits of the foods in which they are found. Sure, a leaf of spinach may contain some inert matter that is irrelevant to your body from a chemical point of view. But it has not been convincingly demonstrated (he argues) that "the good parts" can be extracted or understood separately from the whole.

My gut reaction, and I'm sticking with it, is that this is the reductio ad absurdum of a beautiful, human mystery. But take that with a grain of sea salt, as I was a student of "letters" before I was a hacker.

If you get to the end of the post, it notes that two Google engineers were actually responsible for patching the loophole in webkit that allows storing third-party cookies after a form submission:

http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/92142
We split files into two levels of folders. For instance if a video has a filename "somethingsomethingXY" it will go into "videos/y/x/" folder. Then it's up to our sys admins to mount those folders to whichever disk they want. So from the app's point of view it doesn't matter where the file actually is. And we backup everything every couple of hours.

Like I said, nothing fancy but it works without any issues (apart from a small delay when you have to copy the file to 2 or 3 different servers (redundancy) before it becomes available, but it's not a big problem but I have few ideas how to solve that if it becomes one :)).

It's a lot more nuanced than the WSJ article made it seem. Google and other web advertisers engaged in what most would consider normal activity, but that Apple had specifically disabled in Mobile Safari. Here's a good explanation from John Battelle: http://battellemedia.com/archives/2012/02/a-sad-state-of-int...
The first thoughts that came to mind were "disjointed" and "lost". I can accept feeling a bit lost at first, because everything is moved around...it's a redesign. However, there is no clear grid. Not every site should follow grid principles, but a site like this probably should. White space padding is not uniform and there are a few arbitrary blocks of white space for no good reason. Even if this is a work in progress and they fill those blocks with ads or something else, there is still no grid and I think this oversight causes the disjointed feeling.

Here's another newsy site that does follow a grid and it's a lot easier to scan information: http://www.guardiannews.com/
Wow. Something I am looking ahead to try to implement after my AI course.
I'm not sure this qualifies as premature optimization. Allowing jQuery to block page load incurs a bit of load time where the user has to sit around waiting. Anything that can be done to minimize user frustration (and maximize user experience) is probably worth doing when it's so simple.
Lately I've seen some people go whole hog on Google products. Usually they justify it by saying, "well Google's products are really good and I don't want to have to pay for email so it's okay if they read my email/track my browsing/target me with adds". It's just mind boggling how the Overton window on privacy gets more permissive.
I was just stating that building a site like that is not as trivial as you made it out to be. Yes you "only" have some videos, but you also have views of said videos, and comments and rankings. Building different views of videos based on those factors is hard if you have lots and lots of this data points. Not to mention that you then have to (somewhere) display just some user's videos sorted by how they ware ranked, or maybe just some user's videos from some category based on number of views (which is not a simple INT field in the db). Etc etc etc.

What I'm saying is that there is more than it meets the eye.
Aren't they supposed to be saying "ninja" now? Though, I guess even that word is getting long in the tooth. I wonder what the next hyperbolic word for "expert" will be?

Personally I've alway felt more like a plumber or carpenter than a rockstar or ninja.
