How To Website Designing is No Child’s Play
Now that you know that building a website with the right web design is not a cake walk, you should surf the net or buy a few books related to website design . Basic information always helps if you are seriously contemplating on getting a new website built or revamping an existing one. Hire a reputed and experienced web designer even though he/she may charge a lot. It is worth every penny you spend because the bottom line is that you want to see your website bringing in the desired results – profits.

Modeling real life actions for FB's Open Graph
The code looks for the post container element, so, if the layout is changed you would need to change at most just the parent css selector, and old links would still be working, but would stop working if the post is edited, i.e. a new paragraph was added.

It wouldn't be a problem to encode the selected text and look for it, actually that's how the selecting works, i get the selected text and look for it on the document,striping html tags and finding all the elements which contains part of the selected string, only then i enconde the relative position on the dom tree of the node to be able to look for it later (The 9-1 stuff).

The problem with encoding the text is that the url could get pretty long pretty easily, but that could be solved if the server stored it and you got only a hash to look it up, that would have the benefit of the highligting links to keep working if the post is edited partially.

"setenv" for zsh and other Bourne-compatible shells
Just figured I'd share implementations of "setenv" and "unsetenv" that I made for Bourne-compatible shells.

Unfortunately at work I'm doomed to use "tcsh" for various reasons (like established infrastructure) and it's preprogrammed me to type things like "setenv" even when I'm in a shell that doesn't have it. I use "zsh" everywhere else, and I finally resolved to make "setenv" and "unsetenv" work correctly no matter what the shell is.

If you put the following in ".zshrc" (presumably this works in ".bashrc", etc. too) then you'll once again have "setenv" and "unsetenv" available.

setenv () {
if [ "x$1" = "x" ] ; then
echo "$0: environment variable name required" >&2
elif [ "x$2" = "x" ] ; then
echo "$0: environment variable value required" >&2
else
export $1=$2
fi
}

unsetenv () {
if [ "x$1" = "x" ] ; then
echo "$0: environment variable name required" >&2
else
unset $1
fi
}

I have seen environment managers that support both csh-style and sh-style environment setup, often by doing absolutely everything twice (in a way that is either error-prone or annoyingly indirect). In theory the functions above could avoid such complexity, too, if they were simply made part of each system's default configurations for Bourne-compatible shells.
Yes, there are definitely some people who only use Facebook for friends and family, so it makes no sense for 'push commit' to show up in Facebook.

On the other hand, it can make following what your friends are doing without having to sift through Github's feed... which is a mess if you ever try to find anything and watch a few projects that have lots of activity.

Gotta love that freedom.
> we can't really say either way.

Well, no. We can say that it very likely isn't a teleological process, because, one, we have no evidence it is; two, we have a lot of evidence that seems to say it isn't; and, three, if it were, it would have massive implications in other fields that we haven't seen any evidence for, either.

Humans are allowed to think statistically and proceed on the basis of best (not absolute, but best) evidence; indeed, in the real world, we must do so.

That sounds suspiciously like group selection which we know does not work.
Patents were created in order to benefit the public and prevent trade secrets.

In this case the monopoly awarded to apple on their massive collection of patents doesn't really do that - it just allows them to try and shut down competition which ends up being worse for the public.

Not to mention a lot of the patents being rather dubious.

Get angry at Apple, but get angrier at software patents and out dated intellectual property laws that no longer accomplish their purpose.
That being said, the section containing the proof is starred if I remember. I imagine most people, even those reading CLRS, skip over it.

> Anyway, for some reason, everyone who tries to describe Git already has such a strong understanding of it and it's oddities, that they are, for some reason, unable to lay it out properly for a noob IMO

I for one had a really hard time grasping Git, until I wiped my VC-mindset slate clean, it was primarily my upbringing in a development environment where Centralized Version Control was the king. I read up on Eric Sink's Version Control By Example. It's a great book to lay-out the fundamentals of Git. If you wrap yourself around the concept and not the tool, the use of tools (Git commandlines, Git GUI's) will come naturally.
This.

Opera has left a huge legacy of features that people take for granted nowadays: very low use of resources; using the URL box also as a search tool; editable search engines; tab and window sessions; savable sessions; more that I can't remember now. All these were invented at Opera and later picked up by the others.

Ten or fifteen years ago, Opera was the browser for hackers and the smart technologically-aware user. Then they sort of lost their way a bit. I switched away when Opera's resource use became as hungry as the others. Darn all these useless gimcracks and prettiness, I want speed, something I'm still saying today (which shows I'm as out-of-touch as ever I was).

"we have no evidence it is"

I mean everything that's considered evidence of evolution could also be considered evidence of teleology: the entire process of the universe creating new forms of novelty, from matter to biology to ultimately possibly some sort of technological singularity.

"we have a lot of evidence that seems to say it isn't"

What is there that exists that is fundamentally incompatible with teleology existing or makes it highly unlikely?

"if it were, it would have massive implications in other fields that we haven't seen any evidence for, either."

What makes you think that you would see evidence for it if it existed? (Or rather, what makes you think that most or all evidence in favor of teleology couldn't be explained by some other non-teleological process?)
I read it as mostly being a very short, somewhat poignant, way of saying that life has taken him pretty far from being a sixteen year old kid writing games, but that putting out this game will help him reclaim something that he feels he's lost or is at least at risk of losing.

And that is something that at least some people will feel a connection with, maybe especially people who would care about "Jetpack" in the first place. The kind of people who were once carefree 16 year old video game players, who are probably the kind of people who he expects to be attracted to his Kickstarter campaign.
One of my apps went into "In Review" status at midnight (19 hours ago) and still hasn't been rejected or approved. The rejection or approval has always happened in less than 12 hours for me, so it seems like Apple might be holding all approvals until they've resolved this issue. At least, I hope that's the case... I really feel for the developers who got a slew of one-star reviews because of this.
"that the implication from Google is that these activities are illegal"

Google does operate outside of the US, so I don't know why everyone is so quick to assume that they're doing this to comply with some US law.
Great article. I've understood the why and what of Big-O but never how to do the analysis.

I have a question for the informed however:

The article says that we only consider the fastest growing parts of an algorithm. So, counting instructions, n^2 + 2n would just be n^2. But why do we do that? Imagine an algorithm where we have n^12 + n^2 + n^2 + n^2 + n^2, etc. Do we really ignore each n^2 section?

Another idea that could work well is partnering up with some influential bloggers / open source evangelists and holding an international "Feed a coder" day, which brings awareness to the open source community and asks people to make a donation to their favourite projects / libraries / Wordpress plugins on that day.

There are a lot of Wordpress Bloggers out there who would be happy to donate to their favourite plugin authors but just haven't and this could push them over the line (this is just one community I'm quite involved with).

> You could walk outside now, and start yelling "I NEED A PHP PROGRAMMER!" and you'd probably find someone pretty quickly.

This is something that I point out as a negative. Yes, you can get a PHP programmer just about anywhere. But being that there are so many, it's harder to find those few truly talented programmers.

My own complaint about this is that if you bring in cheap PHP programmers, you end up with cheaply-written PHP. And the result is inevitably an unmaintainable mess. If you want well-written, maintainable code, you have to be willing to hire talented and experienced programmers. And in doing so, you give up that so vaunted "advantage" of PHP's mindshare.

Moreover, it seems to me that the truly talented programmers that would produce good software have a tendency to distance themselves from PHP.

So it seems to me: Choose PHP for cheap, quick projects on a budget for which quality is irrelevant; or choose a "harder" language for solid applications that will stand the test of customer interaction.
Among other things, the author of the OP does not adequately address the role of environment in survivability, reproductive success, and genetic expression itself. He mentions birth control. Birth control is a valuable adaptation in certain environments, particularly where sex plays an important social role beyond reproduction (see: Bonobos) or where resources are scarce and would be wasted on excess offspring. But obviously, birth control can be severely maladaptive for an individuals genes and populations that overuse it may be at greater risk of extinction than those that don't.

So what happens when you get a bunch of companies that are resource intensive but don't have a lot of users?

Plus, many companies define a "user" differently depending on their goals.

I agree that cloud pricing is unattractive. Keeping in mind however that many startups spend most of their initial time in development mode with low user counts in production could quickly fill the service infrastructure up with a bunch of unsuccessful freeloaders.

Note how ridiculous the counter arguments.

I too have made this argument several times and I have gotten similar nonsense in response.

I recall reading a story about some guy who was visited by police as they thought he was running an indoor pot growing operation, only to find after searching the premises that he was a bitcoin miner. It takes quite a power surge to draw that kind of attention from police. Bitcoin is geeky, and maybe it's idealistic in some good ways, but it's not "green" and it's not practical.

I think sponsorship is a great idea. Look at the success Meetup has had with this strategy. The nice thing about sponsorship money is that once a contract is signed, the revenue will be consistent month to month.

The payoff for the sponsoring company will be the good reputation it gets from that developer ecosystem. There could even be a way to connect this sponsorship to recruiting developers from that ecosystem as employees (the bonus being that they are already familiar with this project)

So you're saying that people won't respond to the incentive to hoard cash? An economy based on a currency with low, predictable inflation will have less hoarding than a deflationary currency. Hoarding in itself causes deflation, so deflationary currencies risk causing a deflationary spiral.

Do you have an example of a vibrant economy based on a deflationary currency? I have several historical counterexamples.

Why personal funding
Well, it's much more controversial than that-- but perhaps I'm to blame, because it's also more controversial than I've been trying to claim.

Perhaps the more neutral framing is this: There are things that happen to life which you will not be able to explain using a primarily gene-, individual-, or group-centered perspective. This is because evolution is complex, and anyone who claims to really understand it is lying.

I've been advocating for the population perspective mainly because it necessarily includes what's going on at a lower level, but the safer truth is simply that anything you think you know on the basis of theory needs to pass through many levels of analysis, and then be filtered with a healthy dose of what really happens.
I agree that Apple is abusing the patent system. But on the other hand, I think Google did a lot of lazy cloning with their Android devices(and with Google+ as well), and they should be called out on it. Just like we do when Zynga blatantly copies other games.

So Google loses a few million dollars, and the absurdity of the patent system gets more publicity, not such a bad thing imo.
It works for me b/c the bulk of my "friends" on facebook are also devs, so they get it. Plus, while GitHub does have a newsfeed, it's always an overload of information.. I think this makes it easier to keep up with friends coding activity.

> everything that's considered evidence of evolution could also be considered evidence of teleology

No. Teleology has a goal in mind and evolution has been seen to run down dead ends many, many times. All of the extinct species are dead ends.

> What is there that exists that is fundamentally incompatible with teleology existing or makes it highly unlikely?

All of the extinct species. The fact the human eye has a blind spot whereas the squid eye does not. The fact cancer is possible. If I had a biology textbook closer to hand, I could go on at length.

> What makes you think that you would see evidence for it if it existed?

If we can't see something, or measure it in any other way, or otherwise provide evidence for its existence, then why should we ever behave as if it existed?

> evidence in favor of teleology

I've yet to see any actual evidence in favor of teleology in evolution. Non-teleological explanations are simpler and they also explain all of the weird crap we see. In addition, our non-teleological theories have allowed us to predict quite a bit about how biology works in the real world. That mix of simplicity and increased predictive power makes the non-teleological theories a lot better than the previous teleological ones.
I frequently compliment women on their appearance. The trick for me is to appreciate something specific that they did. E.g., a choice they made, a technique they used, a skill they have developed.

That's in contrast to me approving or evaluating something, which implies I'm somebody with standing to judge them. It's in contrast to broad generalities. And it's definitely in contrast to commenting on inborn characteristics.

So for example, people are fine with: "I love how cute those shoes are with that outfit." It's appreciation (I love), specific (cute, shoes), it's about a choice they made (buying the shoes, matching with the outfit). The opposite end of the scale is "You're hot," which places me as a judge, is about me getting horny, is general, and is likely to be mostly about the body they were born with.

On the personalization point, no you don't have to. Honestly, I find that all changes done to Android by manufacturers tend to make it worse and not better.

Also, before iPhone and Android came along, Nokia was pretty much the only company that knew how to execute on hardware. In 2006, I would never have considered buying anything other than Nokia. Samsung, HTC and Motorola all made shitty flimsy phones.

If Nokia had gone with Android early, they wouldn't have needed to customize their offering. I'm willing to bet that Nokia hardware running stock Android would've sold like hotcakes in 2008-2009
