Well, I wrote Kodacolor realizing that Kodak was in Chapter 11 and film is on the way out. But I was hoping that Fuji or maybe something from Europe would be equivalent to Kodacolor, as I recall, called color negative film. But I don't know anything about Fuji film either.

On scanning resolution, thanks for the detail. So, the resolution I am getting now at Sam's Club, 1818 * 1228 = 2,232,504 maybe isn't too awful.

Apparently getting color negative film scanned to something like the old Kodak PhotoCD is still possible at, say,

http://www.twocatdigital.com/scanning.html

Their Web site mentions files sizes and file types, but I didn't find much on their resolution in pixels.

So, net, right, it looks like a current, high-end, Nikon or Canon full frame 35 mm digital single lens reflex camera or even a movie camera with the Canon CCD sensor of the OP will be much better than color negative film in my old Nikormat on sensitivity, i.e., ASA 'film speed' and resolution.

So, if I want to dig into photography again, then I should get a sack full of modern equipment and copies of the relevant Adobe software. In the meanwhile, shooting color negative film and getting it scanned at Sam's Club (if they still do that), Wal-Mart, TwoCat, etc. seems like still a relatively good way to take pictures.

That is what the blog post led me to believe I could do, and I was genuinely surprised that I couldn't do it.

That map is fucking ridiculous. There is no way they would search in the middle of a rural area without access from waterway, etc., and yet that is what much of this map highlights. Even if it is "factually correct", it isn't realistic, even for the most nutcase DHS employee. The everglades? Give me a fucking break.

Does it somehow require running the code to generate the maps? I'm asking because when I add the "-m" to my coffee compile line I get:

The line in question calling _.indexOf() from the underscore library... It compiles just fine without the -m option.

Uninstalled. I checked, and Facebook took up more memory than any other application I have installed, even more than TSF Shell. (By the way, a MUCH more "feature-rich," useful, and snappy app than facebook!) Facebook isn't doing anything comparable to what TSF Shell does, not for me anyway. I bet this is why my phone recently started taking 30 seconds to make a phonecall (!).

I can't believe an app requires 8M RAM just for method names! That's 3% of my entire usable memory (what's left after Motorola Blur takes its share) -- just for the method names for a single app. Surely I must be misunderstanding what goes into that buffer. It's unimaginable to me that they really need such a vast amount of space. It's unimaginable that they really expect their app to work at all on an old phone without choking it to death.

If I grasp this correctly, printing just the method names would create a book double the size of the King James Version of the Bible. Maybe you are going to argue having so many methods is good programming practice, not bloat. But don't argue that you "support" a system when just the method names total around 3% of usable memory for that system. And there are a lot of devices with considerably less memory than what I've got.

Why don't you release a stripped down, "lite" version of the app that works on an Android 2 phone even if it has more than 5 applications installed? Some phones don't even allow uninstalling facebook. They are simply stuck with the bloat (I mean, good programming practices :-).

Why It’s Smart to Be Reckless on Wall Street
I’m writing a simple “CoffeeScript for C” right now for my CS 283 Systems Programming class’s final project. It’s due in two weeks, but my work so far is on GitHub now: https://github.com/roryokane/cs283-final-project. It won’t do much – it will just compile three kinds of syntactic sugar – but I hope to make it composable enough to extend it in the future.

The three syntactic sugars I’m including are these: allow indents instead of {}; automatically add semicolons; remove parentheses from if/while/for conditionals. I’m trying to make my compiler robust enough to not cause problems like JavaScript’s automatic semicolon insertion does.

This project is just CoffeeScript for C for now, but I’m aiming in the future to make a generic “CoffeeScript for C-like languages”, that can be adapted to work with languages like with ActionScript and Java with only minor tweaking.
Yehhh, but... that's exactly what people say to themselves when they start. It won't happen to me because I (insert whatever here). Your brain may start to say different things without you really noticing, or if you do notice, it may seem to make a different sense later. You might want to have more safeguards than just this. An example of one is tell someone you trust what you are doing, talk to them about it, and write down somewhere, that if they tell you to stop you will stop. Even if they have changed. Even if they are a stupid idiot who doesn't understand anything and you don't even know why you were friends with them before etc. etc. etc. Slippery slope is slippery.
Yale CS PhD encrypts Facebook messages
The activity level (in terms of how much material is falling into it) is fairly low, such that it doesn't qualify as being an "active galactic nucleus". However, a gas cloud (called "G2") will be passing close enough to the supermassive black hole that it will be tidally disrupted and part of the cloud will fall into the black hole. This will give us a chance to see enhanced accretion, though still not of the level for it to be considered "active".
This doesn't surprise me at all.

I am so glad that someone actually said this! We used to understand that the president's primary job was command-in-chief of the armed services and to represent the strength of our nation, in a diplomatic way of course. More recently people think that the president is the commander-in-chief of the legislature. WTF. That is not his primary job. He can veto and try to enforce law, but not legislate.

I'm not sure that anybody ever had that issue. Mine has been in constant use since it's purchase, and it's never once had overheating issues, even in 40c+ ambient temperatures. Even if it did, there's a dandy little slot in the bottom for adding a fan if you choose.

He explained to her that he didn't want to be identified personally with pictures of their car / license plate. That's reasonable on an individual level.

The problem is that in that situation he had a large amount of threatening influence, and used it to censor a journalist. There should be clear training and guidelines for how to handle this kind of thing, because letting individual guards make up rules on the spot to protect themselves isn't ok.

Well, just reading about bitcoin and saw this here. I am pretty fascinated by the fact that it take not much time for currency conversion across the world. Awesome. Hope, this will dominate the current methods, and frauds.
It's less of a scale issue and more of an ease of update issue. Back in the days someone who bought a copy of Windows would take it home, and if it broke some existing software they used, they were going to blame the OS and return it to the store (they surely are not returning WordPerfect or Adobe product that they bought eons ago).

Having always-connected clients and ability to force-update the code changes the game. I wonder if the backwards compatibility culture is still prevalent in Microsoft Windows division, provided they could always push a fix via Windows Update, or tell Adobe, etc. to fix their stuff.

Here's my take on the search box- I'm a parent flying with a young child, and I just finished booking flights last week.

While the capabilities of the open-ended design of the search is amazing, when I search for flights, I find that I am looking for something very specific. I know cites and dates, direct flights only. Even before getting married and having a kid, I generally think about where and when I want to travel well before I start searching online. I don't know if other people are more spontaneous than I am, but I am constrained by PTO days, other people's schedules, etc. At the most I want the flexibility to change the leave/return dates by a day or two.

Since I already know the parameters of my trip, I find that the input that most travel sites have settled on (To, From, Include nearby airports, Leave date, Return date) gets me to what I'm looking for faster. The open-endedness of the Adioso search box was actually slower, since I tended to type too little and did a lot of filtering afterwards. It felt like my choices are either I type too much and the computer doesn't understand, or I type too little and "fix it myself".

From my biased perspective, I think it would be a big win to have the traditional search inputs be the default but with the open-ended search as an alternative input (not "Advanced search" but maybe the link is "I'm flexible"). As an alternative search, it's no longer a limiting search but it now feels like: you can type anything and the computer just figures it out! Sweet! Also, user education no longer is a problem- everyone knows what to do with an "I'm flexible" search box.

The other big speed advantage of the traditional search input is: often I will return to a travel site weeks later and my trip details are already pre-filled and all I need to do is hit the search button. You can't really do that with a search box. (When I hit back from the Adioso search results page, I lose everything and the search box is empty. That seems like a bug, I think I should be able to save at least that little bit of typing.)

BTW, I didn't feel like Adioso search (getting back the initial results) was slow at all. It felt just as fast as any other travel site and definitely faster than the worst of them that leave you staring at airplane animations for 10s of seconds.

Great work, I'm really interested to see what happens with Adioso. I'll definitely be trying it more in the future!

I don't have an MBA. At one point I felt sorry for myself for not having taken that route. This was during a time that I was building a business that was gaining traction. As an engineer I felt my management skills and understanding of business had serious holes all over the place. I didn't have time to go back to school. I had to run a business. So, I resorted to reading business books. At one point My wife made the comment that things had changed because there were stacks of business books everywhere now instead of engineering books. It was a really frustrating phase for me. I learned a lot but, at the same time, a lot of it sounded like highly refined bullshit to me. I was far more comfortable looking at business from the perspective of mathematical equations and a series of hypothesis to be tested via a scientific process.

Eventually I got tired of the bullshit. Read three authors and get ten different opinions. Not one of them ever built anything or risked anything at all. These people were not my people.

I started to devote more time to getting together with other entrepreneurs and swapping notes. It was amazing to me how solutions to problems presented themselves almost without effort in this context. Sure, talk to people who are really holding a cat by the tail and they might just know a thing or two that the escapes the consultant's artificial construct. I had some of the most amazing and revealing conversations with successful entrepreneurs who had barely finished high-school and hated to read books --any books. Who would have known?

Look at the history of innovation. Look at some of the most important and influential companies and products of the last hundred years. How many of these came out of the minds and work of consultants and MBA's? How many came out of the efforts of entrepreneurs of all walks of life and levels of education hell-bent to make it happen?

So, again please, why do we follow these false prophets?
