Your first cup of CoffeeScript, Part 4: Using CoffeeScript on the server
There is a similar project for LG TVs that doesn't require a bof, however messing with these TVs puts you deep inside BrickVille territory with no money for the cab ride home (no simple firmware recovery).

If you like the sound of tinkering with this stuff, buy a $70 Allwinner A10 stick and play with that. Consider it very cheap insurance for the $1000 TV you're plugging it into (this is perhaps especially relevant to any household with mid-teenage geeks running around). It's also worth note that the boards in these TVs tend to have very little RAM, and run slow, low power processors (MIPS architecture for LG IIRC). Most of the interesting stuff is done in hardware.

Finally, for LG TVs with the USB port labelled "service port", do not touch. The port is missing protective circuitry and there are many documented cases of the TV's internals being fried by connecting active devices.
The truth is, patents are not a poorly executed good idea; they are a morally indefensible, heinously evil idea. They are a more sophisticated feudalism, but feudalism nonetheless.

There obvious moral truth is that no human being has the right to tell another that he can't independently think, create, and sell a given product, and that truth holds regardless of whether he thought of an idea that someone else happened to think of first.

Patents are based in pure mythology, they are a sign that humanity still hasn't gotten out of barbaric intellectual ruts (along with a number of other litmus tests of human barbarism, such as the War on Drugs, the non-consensual forms of government we have, and many other things).
Back in high school I felt the same way. I couldn't understand why I went out. When I didn't I felt bad and as if I was doing something very unnatural. I come from a smallish town where everyone knew each other. After awhile I got to be known as the boy who didn't go out, which hurt.
After a few years I got over it. I realized I didn't dislike going out per se, the people in the small town just weren't people I liked, we never 'clicked'. You can't like everyone and as I realized this I started going out and being with friends and doing all the stuff I had missed out on.

It's not about being an extrovert or introvert, it's more about not understanding why other people and/or yourself put certain demands on yourself when you feel like something else. Nowadays I don't care about what I 'should' do or what I'm expected to do. Not doing something like going to someones birthday party has certain implications to people, but I understand where it's coming. Now I make a choice between the consequences of my actions, not because an abstract idea of having to do something.

I'm sure the Zune was a fantabulous product. It was still an utterly failed strategy, because by that point, the game wasn't a competition about how nice to use the product was.

The same is true for phones today.
The new design language speaks "banking" to me.

At one point I was mistaken the site for the American Express site which shares very similar color palette.

Quoting chris_wot1:

Flaw 1: I didn't say no illegal immigrants are talented. Let's say odds for an illegal immigrant to be talented is 50/50, while we know skilled workers like this kid is 100% talented (track record proven so far) -- so why makes it easy for the former group but not the latter?

Flaw 2: If there are slots available, they should be allocated to talented individuals. Evidence has shown many entrepreneurs and college graduates (legitimately) have gone back to their countries because of inability to obtain visas here.

Flaw 3: It's a bad thing. If you compare it to how tough it is for a legal, skilled worker to come here. Besides, I personally know countless people are planning to send their kids here illegally before 15 to benefit from this new regulation.
But that's the whole new debate. My only point here is: Why not make it easier for talented individuals instead of illegal immigrants?
I'm surprised that this behaviour seems to be tolerated. Yes, it works, but so do a lot of other slimy subterfuges and shady business practices. I'm steadfastly of the opinion that if you can't be honest about how you are doing it, it shouldn't be done, and shouldn't be condoned. I do not believe that ends justify means. Lies and deceit make for a lousy foundation.

Would the site really have been worse off if the same posts had been submitted under the founders' real names? Instead of starting out with false pretenses, could they have encouraged their friends to contribute? I think once one goes down this path, the success of the whole endeavor is tainted. Yes, crime frequently pays and cheaters often win, but that's something that we as a community should work to change.
I live in California, US and I keep seeing news paper articles warning each year that our State Government is short on cash and considering sale of State Land...

I'm now wondering what sort of mayhem one could cause with vendor access to every Oracle db the US .gov uses, presumably you could forge orders, reorganize parts of the executive and identify and suborn most of the people who would be in a position to stop you...

I don't know anything about the Mitsubishi. The Leaf definitely has a capacity advantage (at the cost of weight), and is approximately the same chemistry. The Volt's thermal and electrical controls are vastly superior to the Leaf.

Trying to beat RIM is obviously a bad move, but there's still billions of dollars to be made on phones that businesses deploy to their employees.

Extensive remote control, feature-by-feature lock-down, active directory style roaming profiles, super-hardened security, VoIP-over-VPN phone calls... the list of possibilities goes on. Get this right, and every company on the planet with any sense of paranoia will be theirs for the taking.
I can sympathise with the visa situation. I'm 19 and don't have a degree, and I've been in exactly the same situation—you go through the whole interview process and then suddenly the company's lawyers tell them there's no way you can get a visa, and weeks of time have been wasted for both parties. It would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind living on a boat for a while: http://www.blueseed.co/
You're so right about learning how to deploy your app. I'm using linode myself. I've been investing some time learning to use Chef to provision my servers. And Capistrano for deployment. This is a bottleneck of uncertainty for me, so I just finally decided to forget everything else and focus and figuring this thing out. By the way, if anyone has a good link to a tutorial on provisioning linodes with Chef Server, I'd love to have a link. In the meantime, I'm grinding...

A PostScript to Word Perfect converter ?
yeah, plus NDK.
I agree with your assessment of the essay's conclusion. All I'm saying is that the essay's whole thought process began with the basic problem that social situations often backfire for the author in very negative ways. If these negative experiences didn't cut so deep, it might not have been necessary for her to spend 2500 words convincing herself that some socializing is better than completely cutting yourself off from the world.

I could be totally wrong about all this, and I really regret if my original comment comes off sounding at all presumptuous. My point is just that if indeed the author suffers in the way that the essay describes (which sounds totally believable to me), I have a lot of compassion, but also hope that things can be better for her.
Honest question:

Is the ruling really 'pretty airtight' ? ie: does Oracle really have no chance at winning on an appeal?

(OT, but I'm worried now:) Would using the "service port" on an LG TV purely as a powered USB port be a bad thing? (I've been using mine to power my speakers.)

It seems like you're two criticisms are as follows:
1. The sample size is too small.
2. The quality of the Python code isn't that great.

I (the author) would like to address both of these. First of all I completely agree that more research needs to be done. I mention this in the paper. I have provided a data point not a proof. It took me a couple months of several hours a day to the do the translation, I hope more people translate more programs to see if the results hold in the face of a larger data set. Second I agree the quality of the Python code isn't that great. I wanted to see whether unit testing obviated static typing in practice. In order to avoid selection bias I choose the projects at random. I picked the first four projects that were < 2000 lines of code and that had some sort of unit testing.

I believe that my methodology, nor my conclusions are flawed but that all should remember that a single experiment does not make a scientific proof. I hope that others will try to replicate this experiment on many more code bases. If they do it will be interesting to see the results.

Sure, and Rails offers a similar syntax:

User.select('x').where('name like ?', username)

But if your language allows literal string interpolation (as Ruby does), what prevents you from doing this:

query conn ("select x from users where name like #{username}")

How do type-safe languages prevent this?

The marginal utility of consuming wealth for one's personal use diminishes, but empirically that is not what the wealthiest people do. They give their wealth away in intelligently measured ways. It's quite possible that giving 10 million random middle-class Americans more of Bill Gates' money would do less good than Bill Gates has done with it trying to solve the whole malaria problem.
The company was started by billionaires in the first place -- kind of strange that they should be looking for some loose change (at best some $50k). More likely just a way to garner the interest and attention of the wider tech crowd.
I think the main problem with using Facebook comments is not so much that they assume you have one identity, it's that they don't allow you to isolate things between websites.

I comment on a lot of websites, the internet is my home, I don't mind people reading my comments on another website, if my parents saw my hackernews comments it wouldn't be of concern to me, however if all my hackernews comments were pushed to my Facebook feed and every friend on Facebook saw every comment I leave that would be a problem because it means I would have to consider them as an audience too when commenting.

Context is important, most people on Hackernews have the same background (technology) and will approach the comments others write in a similar frame of mind, however my parents would understand what I say in a different way and it would mean I'd have to consider the meaning of my comments to everyone, it would change the dynamic. I think it's more about context than it is "personality" or having multiple personalities. In some ways they're the same thing though.
Microsoft Windows 8 the final nail in the coffin for RIM
At a loss to find a single web page now that you ask. The stuff I read was explicit about avoiding the TV's USB port unless it was specifically labelled a USB port. The last time I saw this was a post on Reddit from someone who'd killed their flatmate's TV via plugging stuff into the USB port, again an LG TV.

Apologies for the total lack of references.
Isn't this was Google+ "Circles" was supposed to solve? It seems even if you did have just one permanent online identity, you could choose who would see what. Which it seems would work for the author. On the other hand, for public forums and anything else that would come up in a Google search would be tied to your name as well (which I think is what Moot was getting at). It seems in the end, most people would avoid being their "true" selves, even if they're passionate about the topic of a site or forum.

I'm one who likes to remain fairly private, and wouldn't want many of my Facebook friends to even know about a blog I may have, the type of Youtube videos I watch, or know of my Reddit account. Maybe I'm just old fashioned or self conscious, but I try to limit what people know about me.

One online self per service is enough. I can't recall a recent situation where I felt I was acting differently in public depending on who was around. Certainly not differently enough that when I'm sitting at my computer I'm going to try to recall which persona I want to wear at which time. Perhaps I don't get out enough.
The list is by acreage and not value, though. Which makes Bezos' position on the list pretty funny, since the neighborhood Amazon is based in--South Lake Union--is owned by Paul Allen.

I agree there are generally trade offs, that's essentially the results of my "60 pages of pointlessness" paper. If you did have time to read the paper you would notice a reference to this book http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/software-engineering-an... that is an agument for unit testing instead of static typing.

Choose Natural Whiplash Treatment

Whiplash commonly happens in car accidents, although it can occur in sports injuries and some other accidents. Whiplash is a type of injury that occurs when you are struck from behind. It occurs when the neck is suddenly and violently forced backward or forward, such as when your car is struck from behind. This incredibly painful condition can linger, so you should seek whiplash treatment immediately.

Business analysts and PMs stay at corporations longer and build salary through promotions. Programmers leave every couple of years and build salary by going to more elite and richer corporations. So a new programmer may be working at a low programmer-pay corporation early at which PMs are paid more than programmers. Eventually programmers will end up at a place where they are paid more than PMs and BAs. Even the most die hard programmer-hating director or VP can't justify paying $150k for 'people skills'.
The real issue is that individuals lack self control and maintain ignorance, which leads to poor health related decisions.

I wondered about that too, and one thing that occurred to me was that if they get popular, they've got access to combine data about their users across all the source and sink services the users use. That is, they can get all my readily available Facebook data (friends, likes, etc.), my Twitter feed and follower/followee/favorites lists, etc.

I doubt IFTTT is doing such data fusion today (their userbase is probably too small to make it worthwhile), but I wonder if that's the eventual plan. To advertisers, that sort of data could be immensely valuable for ad targetting.

Schools vary. Possibly by geographic location and size. Having 1500 or so students doesn't help.

I went to a similar school (as in, really expensive) as the OP in Melbourne. The principal was universally well regarded, and even got a Member of the Order of Australia (a couple of steps below a knighthood) for his contribution to education, but he knew very few of us students by name.

When I was at uni, I noticed a Who's Who book in the library, and flicked it open to the page that my old principal was on...
