Agile sprints are 2-4 wks long. Work for 2-4 wks then put it in front of customers. Collect your list of changes/new features. Repeat. You don't have to release it but people other than the people working on it need to see it.
Yeah, it's not about playing favorites, good try though. It's about actually helping a specific group. Under this view, we should just have

"Help Kids learn to code"

or, maybe that is agist

"Help People learn to code"

I won't be pedantic and claim maybe you won't like the emphasis on "people," I'll stop there. The problem is that I think you could demonstrate that such a broad/general program would not be as effective as one focused on this particular or similar groups ("bald hispanic men under 40" as someone else so eloquently put is not a serious group).

There is something qualitative about the world and social interactions that is completely missed by this simplistic mentality; this sort of thing is always couched in logic but it is argument free of any necessary context.
I suspect you might be, like me, beginning to suffer from deja-HN

I think I would like to capture the opinions of HN's best discussions, categorise them and then be able to filter on - oh look another discussion on web security best practises. Fine - does it add anything beyond what we already have filed under best-of-HN-security - no? Ok ignore.

It's what I suspect kills most forums, not really going downhill, but going round and round the same hill.

Instead of some of our more prolific members saying "I have posted on this before (a lot)" maybe they could say "look at the HNBrain on #dontdropyourdayrate "

While I might find someone's speech distasteful, I'd fight for it's legality. While I'd find "white men only private clubs" distasteful, I think they should be legal.

When it comes to taste, however, I'll absolutely have it both ways. Some racial preferences are noble. Some are repugnant.
That's exactly how evolution works. Because there is an element of human choice as to which genes go on. We are a part of evolution. We choose what goes on. And we have chosen through war and death that violent men go on, and peaceful men die off. We have chosen that men are disposable, we build our armies with men, we sacrifice the men, and keep the women at home because they are the creators of humanity and men the destroyers and conquerers. Primative but it's reality.

All throughout history, wars are fought almost exclusively by men. Men killing men is alright by nature, because back since tribal times, the testosterone induced violent winner got the women and reproduced. Thus passing on his genes. The violent genes outreproduced the peaceful ones. Look at nature all around us. The violent dominate the peaceful, the aggressive dominate the passive, the intelligent dominate the dumb. The animals at the top of any foodchain are more violent, aggressive, and/or intelligent than the others beneath it.

I have a feeling we're both talking about the same thing just from a different viewpoint.
As far as prior art goes? Nope. How long did Apple wait for the LG Prada to be on the market before they aped its design?

this is a racist organization that doesn't let whites or asians in!
See here's the fundamental difference:

Apple clearly differentiates their products.

Samsung intentionally copies closely.

No one serious would argue either of those points.

That is why Samsung is the defendant in all these design cases and Apple has never had this problem no matter how many times Engadget ditto heads want to bring up Steve Jobs "great artists steal" quote. When the judge holds up an LG Prada and an iPhone, Apple's lawyers wouldn't have trouble saying which phone is made by their company.
I can only see centos2ol.sh on that page. Was looking really hard, but failed to notice ol2centos.sh anywhere...

Oh, I need to write my own? Or will Oracle help me? For free?
I completely agree. Forget about Oracle's treatment of the OSS community.. At the end of the day, Oracle AND centos are 3rd parties, and will always be playing catchup to RH's patch releases. So for important or internet-facing servers, if you want to use something RHEL-based.. RH is really the only option.
I can't reply to your comment, so I'll comment here.

Let's think about some poor, uneducated white kids living in a trailer park without an internet connection. What should they feel when they hear of programs like this? "I'm not important enough to help, because people who look like me already have good jobs?" How should they feel about the myriad of programs and scholarships which explicitly exclude them?

At this point, being black isn't a disadvantage in-and-of-itself. Being poor is a disadvantage, and blacks are more likely to be born poor due in no small part to slavery. But all things being equal, being a poor white person is more difficult than being a poor black person.

And they shouldn't be excluded.
Perhaps. I've run linux year over year til 6 mo. ago when I switched to a mac.

As nice as this is I just doubt the hardware is of a similar quality. Additionally, for a notebook the magsafe connector is a huge deal as it's the thing I've seen die first on notebook after notebook.

I do all my dev on linux VMs at this point, and I'd imagine that's a lot of other devs.
Bzzzt, iPhone was demo'd publicly before LG Prada.
People cheer for Samsung because they like the design that Apple championed but they want it from a company other than Apple. And I see nothing wrong with that kind of cheering/rooting.

Besides, being inspired by how the end-product should look like should hardly be considered "stealing" in technological terms. Unless Samsung really engaged in corporate espionage and stole engineering/manufacturing insights and ideas from Apple, I wouldn't be liberally throwing around the term "rip off". If Samsung products suck internally and/or have sloppy build quality, then the market should punish them. Bringing in courts is just a short-cut.
The laptop example used by Jack and echoed here is fair, but the most realistic one I can think of, as a bona fide non-rockstar and non-founder, is in-flight WiFi.

Prices have gone down quite a bit over the past year, but I remember being locked in an inner struggle with myself to spend $50 for two hours of WiFi.

The first line of thinking is: well, can I generate $50 in those two hours if I have WiFi? Chances are, yeah, you can -- but will you? I don't know if you've ever tried to get work done on an airplane, but I'm miserable at it; its cramped, loud, and just generally unpleasant. I might end up staring at a blank terminal for two hours.

But lets say we decide that we're going to be uber-productive and we'd spend those two hours coding away diligently. We value our productivity here at $50/hour, so buy spending $50 on wifi we gain $100 of productivity. The next question is: how productive would we be without wifi? Economic decisions aren't made in a vaccuum: a programmer can do an awful lot without WiFi -- and its up to your heuristics to decide if the bump in productivity is worth the $50.
thanks for the feedback, this is some really useful advice. Increasing the frequency of our deliveries is maybe something we will consider in the future. For now, we just wanted to get something out there, test it out and see if people are even interested in it. The plan for the future is to have special recipes for people on certain diets; vegetarians, vegans, paleo, etc..

On one hand, good for Oracle, this actually sounds like a good initiative. On the other hand, Oracle consistently gives us reasons to distrust them. Consequently, while I think this is a good effort, I certainly wouldn't install it. In fact, I somewhat suspect that I'd find a way to make A/UX work before I install Oracle Linux.....
I think part of the reason why many people are rooting for Samsung here, is that in this community, in the field of competitive practices, copying is not frowned upon as much as litigating. There's no doubt that Samsung copied from Apple but blocking a whole product due to some parts being copied (like a green phone icon according to the page you linked) is arguably worse than the copying itself.

After all, copying (or stealing as Jobs would say) is an inherent part of the creation process. Sure, Samsung was not very creative in the pieces they took from Apple, but in the end these elements are a small part of the product.

What has Oracle done to Java ?

As a developer they've done nothing but deliver very welcome new features to the platform and add stability that Sun could never bring.
My comment aside, you are right to question if it's the wisest investment for Amazon to make a phone. Could they form strategic partnerships instead, paying handset manufacturers to install Amazon media marketplaces like Google did with Dell to install search? As Nokia, Palm, BlackBerry, and others can attest, phone making is a difficult business. I haven't crunched the numbers and cannot offer an informed opinion, but as I articulated above, there is reason for Amazon to consider the option.
While agree with your comment, I think your last comment is unwarranted.

Just because somebody is a white male does not devalue their point. Moreover, you should really never judge an argument based on the person making it.
Old studies show that intelligence is largely genetic. New studies are increasingly showing that it is much, much, more influenced by environment.
This isn't reddit, so nobody can downvote you. You know what you said was offensive, but you probably don't know that what you said is completely, absolutely scientifically inaccurate.
I could answer this with data, but instead I'll be anecdotal. It's not scientific, but it speaks a little for the science.
My best friend growing up (his family lived a mile away from my trailer park) was a black kid. His family practically took me in. His mom was a lawyer and his dad was a cop. They worked their asses off teaching their kids right. Both children became stellar successes in academics. High SAT scores, the whole package. Their influence on ME was huge. Without them I would've ended up like my white trash family. It was their culture that helped me get out of the cycle of poverty. It was their culture that created an environment of learning that fostered higher IQ's in their kids, and by proxy, me.
Culture, not race, is what drives environment. Environment drives intelligence.
I don't want to sit here and call you a racist, or say anything mean. I just want you to read this and change as a person, and realize that what you believe to be true is wrong.
My buddy and his family are still very close with me. We hang out on a weekly basis, and he is a role model to me in his accomplishments as a professional and a father. I wish I was half the guy he was. If just a third of the black men in America had been raised the way he was, America would be in much better shape as a country.

This is swombat, one of the biggest tech bloggers in the UK, not some random linkbaiter trying to build his Klout score.

Bald assertions do not a non "Engadget dittohead" argument make. Apple has never produced a new product category. They take the innovations that came before and throw money and Steve Jobs/Jonny Ives taste at it. You are blind if you think that what Apple does is real innovation in the sense of what the actual producers of the cellphone did. Or the tablet for that matter. They haven't had a fresh idea since Woz built the Apple I out of a block of wood and a circuit board 40 years ago.
But, appeals aside, the court's ruling makes it so. You go to court hoping the system sides with you. If it does then you take your win and you move on. If it doesn't side with you, you can't just say, "Oh well... your ruling doesn't count." You gotta take it for what it is. If in the process of making your claim you have damaged the name of your opponent then it seems fair to me that you should have to do something about that. It kind of falls into the same thinking that the loser in a case can be made to pay for the winner's legal fees and what not.

Fantastic from the Java side.

They have made a number of very useful improvements to the JVM e.g. addition of JRockit, new parallel GC etc at no cost. It is annoying that they don't offer a repo to allow for easy updates but there are scripts to help.

And they just seem eager to push the platform forward with a confidence that was lacking from Sun.

Buck Woody: How I Work (Working From Home)
Work out an end-date with them that will allow for a comfortable transition & knowledge transfer. Perhaps that's "immediately" if someone else can take over their job, or if they're not interested in staying and helping you. Perhaps it's "2 weeks from now." But generally assume good faith, because if they wanted to screw you, they would've already done so.
More than a few are freely available. But, FWIW, the IEEE and ACM are notorious for charging ridiculous fees to access their papers, if you're not a member. However, individual membership in both organizations is relatively inexpensive (it's journal subscriptions that quickly drive up the price), and can be worthwhile if you find yourself accessing a lot of academic papers of this sort.

My take is that ACM, IEEE and AAAI are all worth maintaining memberships with, especially if you want to stay up to date on what's going on at an academic level. Maybe the biggest advantage of being a member of these orgs, other than access to archived papers, is that subscriptions to their journals is much cheaper if you're a member. YMMV, of course.

On a related note, at least one of IEEE, AAAI or ACM have a discount program for journals published by other outfits, like Springer. Some deal like "join ACM, and your subscription to $FOO from Springer is heavily discounted." If you like to subscribe to journals and what-not, check out all these offers, as they can bring the prices down to where an individual can actually afford them, whereas normally you'd find the price to be so high that only an institution could really justify it.

As a Dane and living in Copenhagen, this is what I miss everytime I'm in another city (except Amsterdam perhaps). I love how there are bike lanes all over the place. We also have traffic lights for bikes that let's you get ahead of the cars.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Yeah, this kind of works, but I need to do maybe too many steps to get what I want, maybe with some tmux scripting fu I'd make it work.

The main issue is that I can open my apps always in the same order, so I know wich window number it has, then, joining-pane by window number would be doable. the problem is that after breaking and joining a few times, numbers may get scrambled.

Another issue is that if an app is in a pane, it looses the identity, and cannot be joined to another window alone.

I'm thinking on doing something in the lines of:

WINDOW=`tmux list-windows | grep active | sed -e 's/^\(.\).*/\1'`

choose-window "join-pane -s $WINDOW -t %%"

But for the moment, no luck.

Will keep trying :)
How far is it from the projected landing site of Curiosity?
I have heard that some areas have three-state legal systems, at least for certain types of cases, but that's not the case here. The ruling was "they do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design." Not "Apple has not proven that Samsung infringed."

You don't have to agree with the ruling, but the legal ruling was a "false," not a "null." A "not guilty" verdict may arise due to a lack of evidence or a badly tried case, but legally it means the same thing as a "not guilty" that came about because the accusation was obviously untrue.
