I am just starting out with programming and my biggest struggle with Python has been installing modules and eggs and configuring it to work with the server and a database. I had not touched PHP yet because everyone said Python/Ruby are superior. One day I decided to, and was amazed at how quickly/easily I could write a dynamic website with a database back-end that didn't require forever to configure and throw up errors every 3 seconds.
Adding Insult to Plagiary?
Oh, you were serious about your initial comment. I wasn't asserting that the this was a DEA plant, or assuming any conspiracy. If I had to guess I'd say the DEA is indeed flustered by iMessage.

My point, made jokingly, is that it's hard to tell between "real reporting of the DEA being flustered" from "planted reporting to get criminals to use iMessage and get busted". Hopefully encouraging critical inquiry of news sources befits this place.

I have to disagree, the pattern for classes is clearly starting with an uppercase letter, and for instances with a lower case letter. In the example we have a model class, not a model instance.

> Classes often start in uppercase letters, while instances start with lowercase letters.
Cool!

Did you use an existing library for the panning / zooming?
I think this is great, with one request: I would love to be able to use the same dotcloud toolchain to deploy to a local VM (or, container, I guess.)

Something like `dotcloud local push`. This way I don't have to mess with chef/vagrant/etc for my staging environments: I can simply use my dotcloud configurations for both local and production deployments.

It would be sad if I had to create one deployment system for testing environments, and something entirely different for production - because by the time I set things up for tests, I might as well use that same tool chain for prod!

I don't mind that the free tier is going away - because for me, it has been less about the "free" and more about the "easy to throw a stack together".

Exciting times!

Hi Steve,

I love the work you have made with this. I use it as a reference each time I have to make something new.

Also, I like your idea of two-spacing. :)
You do. Using a language that only other scientists like yourself understand is a way to prove that you belong to that community and that the unwashed masses need to fund your research further because it's obviously serious stuff that mere mortals can not begin to comprehend.
Twitter Arrives on Wall Street, Via Bloomberg
we started in Egypt where lots of people try to purchase products form the U.S. and Europe. The cost of getting any product to Egypt is very high. The same thing apply to other countries. When we launched the website, we got over 60 orders. The travelers who delivered those items got around $400 in commission each. We wanna make our service reliable to buyers and travelers so we ask travelers to buy products from their own pocket and we collect their money and commission from the buyers in advance to guarantee payment.

So far we found more demand on purchases than expected but we still need to spread the word among travelers specially between U.S. and Egypt to be able to deliver more products.

Would like to get more feedback from you guys in this thread !!
People said that about BlackBerry BBM messages, and Nextel DirectConnect too.

But shortly thereafter, you started hearing about countries collaborating with BlackBerry to decrypt messages... first in palces like Saudi Arabia and Dubai, then in places like the UK. That tends to support the assertion that BBM was difficult/impossible to intercept.
I love interval training. Whether it's a highly-structured protocol (maybe Tabata) or more of a Fartlek approach, it's a blast. The approach I find to be both a lot of fun, and very productive, is to do a sort of Fartlek approach (with, say, running, or working on the elliptical trainer) where I put my ogg player on "shuffle" and let the song dictate my intensity. Certain songs ("Kickstart my Heart" by Motley Crue for example) just demand extreme exertion... other times you get something a little more chill ("Lights" by Journey, maybe) where you just cruise for a while.
Perhaps there is a lot of software written for XP, many computers can't run Vista or 7, and there is little incentive to upgrade anyway? Those would be my guesses.

This is stupid. I hate to say it, but by taking all of the complexity out of Freebase, they forgot the problem Freebase was trying to solve: Semantic integration

Right on the front page they have their biggest flaw in the example:

Ok, so what about the company Apple? How are they semantically distinguishing one item from another? I guess Steve Jobs is Founder of a Fruit that weighs 150 grams.

Does the reference to similar incidents this year suggest this was a watering hole attack targeting a Java vulnerability? It would be nice to know, just generally, what vectors were used here to the extent it was anything novel.
I will agree here: I will be given the budget to upgrade these to live instances, and that is what I'll do in the interim. But this mean time I'll have to explain it to my boss (it will shake some of his confidence in my decisions), and it'll put pressure on me to find a lower-cost way to do testing.

I don't disagree with Dotcloud's decision! But our entire stack literally depends on them, so here is another data point about how this will affect us.

You're quite misinformed. There is relatively little zero day of value on the black market, and zero day doesn't come from criminals. And it can't really, because finding a vulnerability in someone else's code, that you had nothing to do with putting there, can't be a crime.

Swig for SQL in nodejs
I don't mean monolithic, I mean homogeneous / not heterogeneous. The Unix way was great while all the tools were written using a small set of languages and techs (C, Bash, maybe C++ here and there...) because a guy with a certain set of skills could just pop the hood up, get the code, and delve into the guts of any program... now you have "shit, I chose Ruby but that cool lib is Python" or "why is that huge Perl script used to configure and start this Erlang program?".

By "Java" (bad example, I agree) I mean any multi-paradigm, multi-platform, general purpose language: it can just as well be Scala on the JVM or Python if its performance is good enough for you and you can put up with the way it annoys you out of your mind if you try to do functional programming in it. All languages claim to be so now but in practice they are not! If you use Haskell for something, Erlang for something else and integrate with some R code by means of some Python or C code, you pay a huge price in increased complexity and you'd better make sure the advantages given by using "the right tool for the job" are worth this price... If you can master the kind of polyglot skills you talk about, great, you're definitely not in a bubble, but this is because you are one of the top 0.1% in terms of "brainpower", not because you used you bp efficiently - imagine what you could do if all the mental energy spend understanding all the little tech details for all those things were focused on solving just one problem and with a smaller number of tools!

URL Redirection flaw in Facebook apps push OAuth vulnerability again in action
Former Freebase, current Google engineer here:

First of all, let me say that I'm glad more people are thinking/working in the space of triples. Even unstructured ones like this.

But when there's no semi-strict schema, it gets really, really tricky. Free text is hard, and actual meaning is hard to separate. (I say semi-strict, as Freebase is schema-last -- feel free to create your own! -- but has some level of enforcement)

For specific domains you may be okay with tags. And for some limited applications it probably works great. Triples are cool!

But when you start talking about larger, broader, datasets, ones that no one person or small group can curate, you're going to start running into collision.

There's certainly an argument to be made for metaschema -- https://developers.google.com/freebase/v1/search-metaschema -- and crowdsourcing these sorts of things could be interesting.

I think there's a lot of interesting work to be done. But I doubt that this is "better" per se, or at the very least, is little more than a toy.

And hey, I built such a toy graph engine once upon a time (be gentle -- it was really a demo hack) https://github.com/barakmich/jgd -- you can even query it with Freebase's old MQL. (Which I have mixed feelings about, but is cool in its own way)

I guess my argument is, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. And feel free to ping me for more!

I'm not sure why you were surprised, as far as I've seen Zed has generally gone out of his way to be a helpful guy. He's a bit raw and he doesn't like assholes, but he really doesn't deserve the bad rap he got in some circles. Most of it really comes from the aforementioned assholes, who happen to be more PR-savvy than him.

At first I read the suggestion, "I would suggest that they go into the tank business and focus on unique designs," and I thought to myself "they probably don't to be in the unique-fish-tank business because there are other companies doing that and margins are low."

But then I thought about Fab.com and companies that have a unique angle to aggregate a certain KIND of customer.

If Jellyfish Art can do that, it's their brand that customers are buying, and you CAN preserve margins with a great brand.

Obviously you're free to make your tool choices however suits you, but I think you are putting a pretty severe artificial limit on what tools you'll be able to use by basing so much of your analysis on deep Eclipse compatibility.

You're letting your tool own you rather than you owning your tool.
Yeah, I used to only jog (2-6 miles at a time) for exercise, but I had lots of knee problems. Then I picked up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and that also kept me in good shape but gave me different knee problems, until I started lifting. Lifting is clearly good for the knees and back. The myths that squats will hurt your knees and deadlifts will hurt your back need to be dispelled.

Right on.

A while back I logged into a Twitter account that had been dormant for a couple of years, since it appeared that some good friends had started using it more actively. As a result, I started getting email from Twitter once a week like clockwork. Clearly not a "our algorithms determined that something interesting happened" message, but a "our algorithm determined that you should get a message once a week, let's pick a random event from your social graph" one.

The main result is that I know better than to ever log in again and become a marginally engaged user worth spamming.
CFAA: Online Trespass to Chattels Needs Structural Reform
It's exactly the process I'm going through right now. Just finished a small project using vim and haven't installed any plugin so far. I already got the reflex to :w and such in others editors. I've read at a few places to learn one command at a time, and it seems better this way. Otherwise, you need cheatsheets and man pages to figure out how to do things, while it should actually be done intinctively.
The key piece of advice you were missing is "Don't try to learn vim at work."

Let's say you delivered packages using a horse and buggy, and people started talking about this new fangled "automobile" thing. Sure, you could try to dive into it and use an automobile for your next delivery. And when you crash the thing and your delivery isn't made, you get pissed off and say "I'm never using an automobile again!"

Or.. you could keep using your horse and buggy at work, and start learning the automobile in your free time. Then, once you've mastered the automobile, start using it at work.

But I'd disagree with the advice of learning vim a little bit at a time. It may be necessary to do that if you're trying to learn vim at work, but most people will acquire bad habits that way and learn to use vim in a watered down way. You've now tied some reins to the steering wheel and are sitting on the automobile's roof, trying to reach in the window and whip the gas pedal.

Another great forum for strength and conditioning is the S&C sub-forum at http://mma.tv Or at least it used to be, I haven't logged on for some time, but at one time there were a lot of very knowledgeable folks on there sharing and trading advice and info. There was a good mix of people who were, for example, in college studying Kinesiology and who had a very scientific focus, professional trainers of MMA fighters, various athletes who train themselves (mostly MMA guys, for obvious reasons), etc. Some of the arguments could get pretty heated, but it's a good community of people who really care about strength and conditioning / health and fitness.
I think the point the author makes goes beyond the shallowness of 'he's posting on social media, what hypocrisy, look at his externalization!' I think the take away is that by our society's knee jerk reaction to share a picture or write a short micro-blerb describing an event as it happens, that we actually degrade the moment for ourselves. We cease to be immersed in our own world completely but end up stepping in halfway into the virtual as we prep that filter, or select careful word choice and tag very particular people to reap the benefits of our narcissism.

I think it is important to make the distinction that the act of externalization or sharing of an experience as some have mentioned should not be completely written off. There is a positive way to externalize our experiences, and it requires more effort and thought. As a general rule of thumb I would argue that experiencing something, reflecting on the experience afterword, and presenting it in a meaningful way meant for longevity is the method most preferred. Sometimes we can't wait until after the moment. Sometimes we need to take a picture now, but the filter and the posting can happen later. The insta-thought that you had that you'll forget may need to be jotted down, on the phone, or in a notepad, but it should not require a complete entrance into social media and draw you away from the moment like it currently does.

The best experiences I had in Facebook was not waiting for every single picture to come out and following someone's life as it happened, it was waiting for when that big album from someone's trip was finally uploaded. There, in one stint you could immerse yourself vicariously in the experience that someone had. When a breakup would happen, instead of reading the vacillating short thoughts and daily experiences of someone going from gleeful to miserable, it was always better IMO to read a reflection that someone had after several months of thought and introspection.

There is a proper way to use social media and share, and as we are, aren't using it to it's full potential. Remember when your papers in school had a minimum word limit? The point was that you had to put in effort when you wrote something. Instead, we get a max of 140 characters and the incentive to share NOW without any real foresight into what we post. That should change, I hope it changes.

I think the calorie restriction studies deserve scrutiny. Do people who practice calorie restriction live longer compared to otherwise fit, healthy people who do not practice it? Or do they just live longer compared to the average (which includes a significant component of obese and/or diabetic over-eaters)?

Protecting the world from Your network
I'm actually surprised that there isn't more support for a native Linux version of Direct3D. It is by far the better of the two APIs, both in terms of ease of use and more closely conforming to the model used by video hardware itself. Since the future of remote Linux desktops is going to be based on Microsoft's RDP rather than X, it makes sense for the open source community to adopt a better Microsoft technology when it comes along.
Interestingly, My most responded-to tweet ever was when I had what what was one of the worst days of my life and I tweeted that sentiment: raw, emotional, unfiltered.

This to me is instructive. People respond to your vulnerability and humility. Nobody has an easy life. It's potent to own up to that.
People in this literature will not have any problem understanding the jargon used here, and it's all meaningful, so this isn't at all a case of "baffle them with bullshit."

You almost certainly use some kinds of technical jargon at your job, there is no need for this weird anger about research scientists using jargon in the same way.

"Well duh" does not count as evidence for a claim, and the claim wasn't about a well-rounded exercise regimen but was rather more specific.
I wonder why? Maybe because there haven't been groundbreaking features and stability updates? Maybe because most of us developers look at the increasing restrictions/constrictions each successive release heralds, and think of jumping ship? In fact, I'm beginning to feel that even Windows 8 is more innovative than OS X 10.7 - 10.8.

I'm looking at Linux even more closely now than ever before.
