An offline installer package as an 'all-in-one' option would certainly help us. Even if it's huge.

This is how I learned Java in software engineering. Simplistic if/else logic transitioned to enterprise madness. It left a bad taste for most of us in the program.

If you are a teacher in this position, provide fleshed out source/examples of enterprise software/requirements and have the students extend the functionality. Using minimized examples to prove the concept leads to rebellion/disgust.
The only crime here is the judges act to take life time of someone that caused no harm.
One problem is that browser vendors don't do a good job of sorting features into "Advanced" tabs and "important" options, so that some options that would be valuable to lots of people are buried alongside options that are valuable mostly to lab admins.

My magnets keep drifting away while I try to position them.
It's interesting that you think it's "the stupidest and most insecure thing you've heard in 2 years", because I think the certificate UX we have in modern browsers is the probably the worst security misfeature on the entire Internet, responsible for not just for the battle between end users and "self-signed certificate" warnings but for the fact that there are hundreds and hundreds of random CA=YES certs that could sign a Yahoo Mail domain cert.

Could you tell me more about how important the browser certificate UX we have now is worth defending, or even keeping? I think we should just jettison it completely and let extensions take over.

You should sample the work of writers who take pride in the quality of their writing & ideas, not just the latest "100 tips to success in business" book.

So much of the writing we read is written by amateur writers who are professionals in some other realm.

I should probably offer suggestions, which is hard; but try this recent nonfiction essay by novelist & essayist Hilary Mantel:

http://www.lrb.co.uk/v35/n04/hilary-mantel/royal-bodies

Or read the first few pages of The End by Salvatore Scibona (click "look inside the book" on Amazon):

http://www.amazon.com/The-End-Salvatore-Scibona/dp/B0035G02D...

These are both fiction-writers; I'm struggling to think of really high-quality non-fiction writing, but that's just because I haven't read any recently... An example, at least -- Christopher Hitchens covers some of the same territory as Richard Dawkins, but his writing is head & shoulders above.
It's vary rare for senator's to be unable to run for office. Because the things that prevent winning are much wider than the list of things that prevent someone from running.

This is a really cool blend of tread mobility and end effector mobility. I could actually see something like this tele-operating mining equipment on an asteroid or something.
I think this may have less to do with the fulfillment of a long term Google+ type social strategy and more of a reaction to the explosive growth of communication apps like WhatsApp, Wechat, and Line. These apps have grown to critical mass and can use their positions to grow into full blow threats to anyone with significant market share in social.
I can see where you're coming from saying something like that... But it is a mistake in my eyes. It was an unwise decision that he probably would not have made had he known he faced 3+ years in prison.

That being said, this guy is obviously not a saint. I don't want to sound like I'm defending his affiliation with GNAA or the fact that he went to Gawker with it.

If it had been someone who gives to community, is polite, and respectful, and instead had gone to the NYT or another publication, they still could lose 3+ years of their life. To a mistake.
This is terrifying. It's like a docu-horror flick for programmers. I actually felt depressed, anxious, frightened, and dispaired going through that code.
Jolicloud is great! Collections (circa Dec'12) did the same, but as a native desktop app. Our current focus is not about bringing all your services together in one place (however, you still can do that), but to efficiently collect links/files from anywhere, organize them and sharing the collections you curated.
The problem here is the lack of communication. How hard is it to show a brief popup telling the user what is happening and how to reverse it? At lot of applications with a fullscreen mode already do this. For example, Parallels and VMWare Workstation do it[1]. Options that can be confusing or dangerous should come with warnings instead of just taking them away.

[1]I think there is a way to stop showing the message, though.

Some of the best software engineers I've ever worked with have PhD's (selection bias).

Just like mine, your experience is not necessarily indicative of the world at large. There's a reason google love hiring PhD's, there's a reason why a well known startup in London (dealing with high performance java tooling) prefer PhD candidate, there's a reason Jane Street is full of PhD's and there's a reason why half the hedge funds in London are full of math and comp sci PhD's

I think there's a strong case for less culpability for children. If a 5 year old (EDIT: "accidentally" not intended here) rapes or kills someone, that's a different crime than if an adult does it.

But, 18 shouldn't be the dividing line for responsibility.

Still not, but the new protobuf spec (and rewritten existing drivers) should actually make it pretty easy to get one. I've also heard of a couple of people working on Java and Scala drivers (they were following the new protobuf spec branch), but I don't know the status.

If only Heroku allowed dynos to stop accepting further requests rather than queuing at the dyno level!

I don't see how forking is insufficient concurrency for the cases you mention, either. Even the Ruby GIL will allow threads to switch while blocking on I/O, so your ten second DB query is covered.

But there's no free lunch--if 2000ms of CPU ends up on one of your servers, and your median request is closer to 100ms, the unlucky server that gets the 2000ms request is still a little fucked without any mechanism to counterbalance. Even letting the server stop accepting new requests from the LB, as you suggested, would be sufficient.

Wanted: "Best Unknown Business in America"
+1 For $50/year I feel like Evernote is focused on me as a customer.

I just blogged about this: Google has cancelled 5 services that I used for work projects. I have just switched to using my own domain email as primary, moving my blog from Blogger to one of my own servers (Wordpress is actually pretty cool), and I am using Dropbox as my primary photo and music repository (now using Google's and Apple's services as just backups).

I really like being a paying customer for services that are important to me. I like Google's, Facebook's, and Twitter's free offerings, but I use them without depending on them.

I wonder different Google's, Facebook's, and Twitter's businesses would be if they had a modest fee (like $25/year) for users, and made users customers instead of products?

Given that specific definition of "quality of life" I really have no problem with what you said.

One is tempted to say something contrary just to see if the size of your posts will continue to double. :)
The issue for many people is that these ancillary services from Google may be found to not add value to Google's overall G+ strategy, and killed in the interest of staying "focused". Google is simply not "all-in" with some of these services. This just isn't the case for company's like Evernote.

That's great, but we're here to make fun of "Enterprise" programming and anything associated with it. Now you come along and give us this simple example that works.

I bet it would still be better in Javascript or Ruby because those are the only two languages that I know and everything is better as a web app anyway.

I hope so too, but Julian Heicklen and others have already been charged with "jury tampering" and other such made up crimes simply for trying to inform others about jury nullification.

Juries are not supposed to be rubber-stamps for the government and I'd urge anybody who is going to serve on a jury to learn about their rights and responsibilities before going.

If you think a non-violent person being charged in a marijuana possession case or other non-crime doesn't merit locking up, throw a wrench into the corrupt system and vote not guilty.
If you give it about 30 seconds it works eventually, this is beautiful. I had a good laugh.

Edit: It makes me want to do something crazy like setup a tool chain that cobbles whole programs together with trial and error like this. Throw enough resources at it maybe it will be faster and cheaper than your avg. developer.

It will be an unmaintainable mess as if you used Brainfuck or Perl. But it will run, by god, it will run. :D

You laugh now, but imagine a bizarre combination of genetic programming and machine learning with Stackoverflow and Github used as corpuses. Great Scott!

Show us the best practice that resembles this FizzBuzz solution.

Also, I'll be waiting to see some code that you think is great.
They don't need to remove the ability to override - they just need to remove it from the preference panel. As long as it is still available as a configuration change though an about:config screen or equivalent - admins in specialized environments can set it appropriately. In fact - they are more likely to set it through a registry setting or a domain policy and would never go to the preference panel at all.
Indeed it does - the only way to truly validate is to get that confirmation email through.

On the flip side I do think there's some value in a service which provides a check on the domain - that way you can prevent someone typing in username@gmail.con by accident. But you'd have to actually implement it correctly.

Would people be interested in something like this as service?
Disabling these on mobile is especially nice due to bandwidth costs and limitations. On Firefox for Android, images can be disabled by settings the permissions.default.image option to 2 in about:config. JavaScript can be toggled with the javascript.enabled option.

IIRC, Chrome for Android does not allow the user to disable image loading. Opera and Opera Mini do, and also allow the user to load images at lower quality. "Internet" (stock browser) does on my phone. Dolphin does.

Same CFAA, different cases. Different approaches, different intents, different results. Swartz had noble goals but chose means that are questionable.

You're right. You still have to use a bit of TwiML to get the interop working but man does it broaden the scope of what can be done. I can't wait to see what people do with this.
The dictionaries on non-English languages are also usually quite abysmal.
He didn't expose some flaw or weakness. ATT knew that information was there, they were the ones that put it there. Weev was pointing out a negligent mishandling of data. ATT already has shown that they suck at vendor response. I think he has a duty to inform the public when there is an issue like that. If he had gone to ATT first, they likely would have lawyered him into oblivion, and kept their shitty service online.

None. Notice that the photographer was OUTSIDE. He didn't remove any property from the restaurant. He did not physically enter the restaurant.

Part of the problem, and I think you'll agree with me on this, is that these metaphors breakdown because, when talking about information and systems, the notions of property are much more complicated. What if, for example, the photographer photographed a sheet of paper with 100 usernames and passwords to gmail accounts, or bank account records and then mailed it out for everyone to see?

He should probably have gone to the authorities first, not the media.
Why are you limited to carrier-provided phones?
I haven't actually seen java in package names, but I can easily imagine the conversation where some over-planning architecture astronaut decides that the project may need code in another language in the future (without bothering to worry about if that language even uses Java style packages) and so they better make a directory that is specific for the Java code so they can keep the other code separate, if they need to add more languages in the future.
It's more than a hint. The service was active on Google for some time a few hours ago and then was pulled down again. It definitely exists, not a matter of 'if' but a matter of 'when'.
Hi, I'm slava@rethink, I'm ultimately responsible for what goes into the product and when.

We'd love to get more drivers in (and the new, much simpler protocol we just shipped will go a long way towards community-supported drivers). But we decided that having a high quality product for the people using the drivers we do support is currently much more important than having wider driver support. Once we iron out a few more quirks in the core product, adding more drivers will be really easy. But until then, more drivers will help fewer people than improvements to the core language and product.

(BTW, getting Rethink to JVM users is something I'm personally very interested in, in my case because of Clojure, but Java programmers will also benefit)

On the other hand, no single letter TLD exists http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt

And I also just found out in that list that there are IDN TLDs (see punycode toward the end of the list), I didn’t know that. Full decoded list: http://mct.verisign-grs.com/convertServlet?input=XN--0ZWM56D...

Yah, except for the part where he spends an extra 10 seconds explaining "here are 2 of hundreds of thousands, as an example".

The headline would be the same: "X Company exposes N Number of user accounts in discovered security hole". So do you see where that doesn't make any sense?

edit: agree with you @drhayes9, just responding to the OP's assertion that the number mattered.
A wire-protocol for debugging/live reload/etc. would be awesome, but especially if it's cross-browser! As an IDE developer, I shouldn't have to do one thing for Chrome, and one thing for FF, just to support the same operations (like set debug point, step in, step out, etc.).

Obviously, yes, they'll be a different set of features at first, but for the overlapping ones, the wire protocol should be the same.

Just look at how painful things were for Selenium/Webdriver; which I now see is moving into the W3C. Hopefully that makes their lives (and our lives as developers) easier if the browsers share a protocol.

I wish more companies would go down that road of actively encouraging the community to hack their products. There's a certain degree you need to have in your product to do this. I guess a lot of big companies don't have the kind of culture which would allow this to happen, regardless of the good it would do to the product.
That's one of the things I love about this place. It's too underground to even have it's own domain name ;)

Sorry, but that's just ridiculous. Not only do KickStarter and IndieGogo have countless other software-only projects, they have many other projects with few costs other than the creators' time, like digital comic books and music.

If you feel that's not worthy of backing, fine, but I'd hardly call it "abuse".
