Social Learning At Affordable Costs: Review Of Knoodle
Hi folks! @evanphx, @drbrain, and myself are all at RailsConf. That doesn't mean we're ignoring things.

Evan's fixed the cert issue, if you're still seeing problems please let us know.

There's a twitter account that we keep updated for service issues like this, please follow it! http://twitter.com/rubygems_status
There are legitimate uses for a keylogger. You can argue about children, but I can certainly imagine circumstances where I'd think about using one on my kids.

As for employees, if it's a work computer I pretty much say anything is fair game.
Sure, however even if you have the affiliate info of 100 different booksellers, you're still favouring those 100. The fantastic thing about Wikipedia is that it's so damn neutral and I think that introducing any kind of affiliate links (which I do agree is a good idea in theory) will likely damage that.
Let's Save Business From the Businessmen: A Founder's Defense of Business
When I first used Emacs, unsure what it was for, I spent all my time playing games. Took me ages to realise it was a text editor.
The UX Community Needs to Start Paying Attention to Android
Just because nobody's done it right yet doesn't mean it can't be done. I'm surprised to see such a sentiment in these parts.

It wasn't until I read The Watchmen that I had found a graphic novel that couldn't have been done better as a movie or television series. Some art lives in its medium, some defines it. This may be a defining piece.
This is awesome. I especially love the contrast between first-class namespaces, immutable collections, and destructuring.

Also, towards the bottom: "Ocaml, Haskell style pattern matching is a library. Prolog style relational programming is a library." core.match/core.logic is like Michael Fassbender. It's everywhere! :D
Which network does this work on, for 4G?

Why the the iPhone 4S/Galaxy Nexus cost what they do I don't know...
Heh.

I was going to suggest a percentage of Hiroshima explosion, but I realize this is a sensitive subject. It bothers me, however, when articles describe an explosion as "X kilos of TNT" and follow that up with "approximately X atom bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima." The Hiroshima part is likely what most readers will relate with.
Thank you. Very interesting.

Generally speaking as the price for a commodity drops the market for that commodity increases more than the price drop.

I know almost nothing about economics. Is there a general mechanism that explains this?
All loops and branching logic has to ultimately come down to machine language instructions that your computer chip interprets as conditional, if this do that.

To get an example of what can be done at the lowest level, see http://zsmith.co/intel.html for the instructions that a Pentium chip accepts. In particular look at http://zsmith.co/intel_j.html and http://zsmith.co/intel_l.html#loop.
How Shapeways' announcment on 5in5NYC changes 3D Printing
Well, of course it's a sales pitch in this context, that's why there is no actual data to back up their claims. But it stands to reason that customers using a lot of instances for high traffic sites can generally budget closer to the actual demand compared to small-timers who probably make up a large portion of AWS customers.
Raising money is absolutely a milestone on the journey to success.

ACTA ill-defined and poorly worded, says European data privacy watchdog
Sorry, I didn't intend to sound like I was trolling, my comment "I'm feeling very superior" was intended to be facetious.

Also, if you ever manage to put into words why you prefer Rails, I'd love to read it. Django and rails seem pretty similar to me, but I didn't put much effort into learning rails. But maybe I'm just experiencing the blub paradox.
GSM unlocked.
Can anyone please comment the weight and the size (height, width, length) of the package what you get when you order it, based on this I can calculate how much would it cost to ship it from US using service like borderlinx.
I think that 5th day would just be spent playing video games or being hungover

You say that as if it was a bad thing.

People need fun. It makes them feel better. People who feel better work better and are more productive. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that an extra day of fun makes the four days more productive than the five days of work.

Hours worked is a lousy way to measure the contribution a person makes to the organisation.
It's very common for malware (or other code that doesn't want to be reverse engineered) to be decrypting itself in the that initialization loop to generate the code that is jumped to. It is also very common for malware to use exception handling as control flow, which could also explain a nonsense jump.

Yelp, You Cost Me $2000 by Suppressing Genuine Reviews. Here’s How You Fix It
As an engineer, I'm probably not the best person to ask about product copy ! But maybe even changing to a comma like further down the site? When I see - it makes me think there is a correlation between what is being said :)

Still, it might just be my nitpicking; the product looks great, I have "suffered" Sage myself and this looks like a simpler option for small businesses
> This tool is well worth the money!!!

To you, maybe. I have no use for it, so it's not, especially when it costs $200.
call me a bad coder but when I used rails 2.3 I had never seen it in production code.

Ok, then you're a bad coder. All Rails applications I've ever worked on had those checks and the documentation for Rails made it pretty clear that verify :method should be used for non-GET requests.

Anyways rails 2.3 had no csrf protection

You really need to check your facts. Rails has had protect_from_forgery since at least 2.2 and it was enabled by default in ApplicationController. Rails < 2.3.10 did not do the verification for AJAX requests, but this was changed in 2.3.11.

Added in 2007: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/4e3ed5bc44f6cd20c9e353... and made the default shortly after.
Wall Street's failure to contextualize Apple's iPhone sales
It is quite large, but I never have trouble fitting it in my pocket (no matter how skinny the jeans). I find it quite comfortable for one-handed texting, and ICS makes texting much easier than earlier releases. Personally I think ICS will make a larger positive impact on your user experience than size could make a negative one.
Wireless LAN Rollouts: A Multi-year View
I'm hoping that the $15 price point gets those people that were on the fence about the project to dive in and the project gets closer to its goal faster. I selected $50 as any good IDE is well worth that price point, and if it never sees the light of day it's not soo much money that I'll really miss it. I've spent more than that on crappy video games this year.
Was considering the One S, but I think the lack of NFC will be annoying in a year or so.

Blame Netflix troubles on spotty streaming selection
The "every good hacker has a github account" sentiment is a bit scary to me.

As far as I know, after signing my hiring contract, all of my work is owned by the company. Even work done at home; owned by the company. I do not believe this is unusual, every company I have worked for has had me sign a similar contract. If I make the perfect sandwich, the recipe is company property. I am not allowed to distribute company owned assets without the company's permission; and I am not going to ask the company for permission to share code they haven't seen on github.

Even if I wasn't contractually restricted, I would not contribute to a github account. My spare time is spent working on research projects for my corporation's benefit. Many of these become real products. A few I've had patented. These make us real money; github does not.

I hope I am not, in the future, disregarded for a job because I am missing a link to a github account in my resume.
I have one and prefer the size. The screen is unbelievably beautiful, and I love watching Netflix on it while at the gym.

The _only_ size related gripe I have is when I am using it one handed and need to reach the upper left corner with my thumb. That's kinda tough. That and it doesn't fit in my skinny jeans.

If someone would suggest a reliable, free source of realtime data that won't fall under peak load from HN, I'd be happy to replace the random walk data source with something more realistic. (For example, stock data, wind measurements, etc.) I added a sine to the random walk to make it a bit more interesting, but these visualizations are much more compelling with real data.

Live discussion on how networks are transforming our economy & society
It's never a good thing to feel unappreciated or underpaid. If your employer refuses to give you what you consider a fair wage, start looking elsewhere. Many employers tend to operate on inertia: Unless you're about to leave, it's easier to just ignore your problems. It's up to you to spur them into action, which it sounds like you've been doing to varying degrees, but if they still refuse to move, you have to kick it up a notch. Find a better offer from another company. If your current company truly values you, they will try to keep you on board. If not, you have a better offer anyway and will likely be valued more at the new place.

At least nominally. Plenty of teachers turn into laughing stock.

Demoting A Loyal Friend
Write whatever you  want, but please just serve JavaScript.
Did you come in looking for a fight? Daniel clearly stated that he thought the argument was a good one, but it's too easy to take the extreme from the headline (or miss the point of the essay entirely), and say that being "weird" is good in and of itself. It's not, clearly. What he's saying is, find your passion and damn the social torpedoes, because it'll all work out in the end.

Daniel's point was that being "weird" for the sake of it is not really the point of the essay. He was not creating any type of straw man. You read it too fast or not at all if you think he was.
OK I'll feed the troll. You got downvoted because your comment makes it seem like you didn't read the article, or any of the supplemental articles linked to in this thread. A few quick examples of why I think this - Why did you assume 50 billion - that is not supported at all by the article. Why are you asking what resources are in the asteroid when the article answers that? Why are you assuming they want to resell those to "earth dwellers" when the article mentions applications involving resupplying other space missions?
TL;DR - if we criticized every poorly researched post in detail instead of just downvoting, we'd have no time left in our day to do anything else.
Like a banana through a fence.

Seriously if you've never done it - throw a banana HARD through a fence. Quite interesting.

Excellent! Greatly appreciate your efforts to build a better Ruby. And congratulations to @drbrain on the Ruby Heroes award!
Wait, they already have that?

I had no idea. I'm in Britain, all I see is Apps, Books and Movies.
"Of the approximately 9,000 known NEAs [Near Earth Asteroids], there are more than 1,500 that are energetically as easy to reach as the Moon. The capability to characterize NEAs is on the critical path for Planetary Resources. To that end, the company has developed the first line in its family of deep-space prospecting spacecraft, the Arkyd-100 Series. The spacecraft will be used in low-Earth orbit and ultimately help prioritize the first several NEA targets for the company’s follow-on Arkyd-300 Series NEA swarm expeditions."
So, er... nothing to do with sexuality, then. Even less to do with it than "metrosexual" was.

Sigh.

I look forward to this fad of using "-sexual" as a "cool" suffix going out of fashion. Not only is it gratuitous trite salaciousness for its own sake, I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually damaging to LGBT causes -- the more people see "____-sexual" being used to refer to matters of choice, not innate aspects of the psyche, the easier they will find it to dismiss, y'know, actual sexualities as the same. "Oh, you're bi/trans/etc-sexual? Must be another of those modern '-sexual' fads. You'll get over it."
If you're not oversubscribed, it shouldn't thrash. Isn't that the complaint? Then its a legitimate issue.
Are today's students truly 'tech savvy'?
So then this is basically a bet on being able to "make 'never' happen a whole lot sooner". Or maybe they have someone in the background saying "sure, we can build the antigravity device / FTL drive but we'll need an mega-ton of platinum to make it work". The other alternative is that they believe all the "future of mankind" stuff...
It is not about you or them being weird, it is about being real. If you are real you will get respect for that no matter what you are. You might not get respect from the "cool" group or the "geek" group but you will get respect from all those who would like to be like you but are not because they try to fit in.

Only if you don't intend to occupy that land in the next 500 years, though. I'd imagine a tungsten telephone pole dropped from orbit has better deep-ground penetration than a nuke, too.
I just watched the trailer and came straight here to gush all over it with everyone else. It's an interesting idea, looks well impemented, has gorgeous artwork and animation. Amazing!

Then I see all the top comments are people pissing all over it. Does no one have a sense of excitement or wonder anymore?
I really identified with the article, and the author seems to have taken a reasonable course.

But I would not call all groups with social norms that differ from you 'losers' that 'lost the battle to be themselves.' The author's transformation seems like it had more to do with finding somewhere he fit the social norms than realizing any group that didn't want him was full of losers with no personality. After all, the author found a group in like-minded anime fanatics, and his group has its own norms regarding conversation:

The topics change -- what cars are best, what sports are better than other sports, what teams are better than other teams, what shows are better than other shows (but never politics or religion -- something you learn really fast in a gym is to never bring up the two topics most likely to incite violence in a building filled with metal bars and heavy plates).

Someone who walked in talking about the Talmud all the time probably wouldn't fit in.

And that's fine. It would just be sad if the kid, like a lot of nerds I've seen, unwittingly developed his own social norms, but was just as heart-breakingly rigid about them as the kids in his school.
why not spend an extra ~$150 per unit to really blow it out of the water

I think that's called Galaxy SIII. There should also be a new ~$500 Nexus this summer running Jelly Bean.

Ryan,

How did you convince your VCs that it's okay to work 4 day work weeks when the Valley famously continues to call for startups to work non-stop night and day?
Well, if a gay friend of mine doesn't mind "even the gay gets laid more than me", it still doesn't mean I'll go around saying it in public or online, I don't have the relationship I have with my friend with everyone.

Anyway, I was just checking to see if that was a generally accepted statement just because the word "furry" was there rather than something else, or if I was missing something.

outstanding article; things ring so so true. Highschool is such a rough time with getting people singled out, and it's hard for those who are individuals.

Kudos to this guy for an outstanding talk to this kid; inspires hopefully many of us to share our experiences and reach out to younger kids we see.
Yes, on a machine where you do analysis like that, you typically monitor all outgoing and incoming connections.
Most of the excess charges I saw during my AWS consulting were due to dev/test environments with fat 64-bit instances that were left running overnight and during the weekends.

Why? It's relatively easy to stand up environments in the cloud, but shutting them off and redeploying takes forever. There is no efficient way to turn complex stacks off and on without a massive time investment from the cloud ops team.

OpDemand solves this with a management toolbar that includes stop/restart functionality. Under the hood we use a combination of EBS volumes and configuration management to allow users to put their cloud environments on ice when not in use. Restarting everything on Monday is a 1-click affair.

Take the negative feedback you're getting with a grain of salt. All anecdotal evidence will support different claims; it simply comes down to planning.

I was homeschooled from the 7th grade, and from what I can tell I'm better off. I was able to focus on my own educational interests--computing and science. I launched a series of small, but cashflow positive websites. I studied Japanese through a free program by GPB for two years (another two via distance learning at University of Alabama) and ultimately found my way into teaching English in Obihiro / Tokatchi for half a year before I started college. I now find myself with a bunch of really great friends and colleagues; I've lived, loved, made mistakes and wonderful experiences. And I'm pretty sure your kids will too.

I'm sorry for brevity, but my phone sucks. If you want to discuss homeschooling topics and strategies at length, feel free to email me.

is there anyway to take that default google search bar off the homescreens or does it just stay on all the time?
The Nexus name doesn't mean as much as it used to. Not all Nexus devices offer a pure Android experience - the Verizon version of Nexus will not have Google Wallet. In term of timely updates, the HTC Sensation received ICS update in March 2012 while the Sprint Nexus S 4G was not updated until early April.

So take that for what its worth. Don't be surprised if Google ends up allowing carriers and manufacturers to provide more customization with Nexus phones and be more lax with update timelines.
