What are the .NET equivalents of The Ruby Toolbox[1] and pluginGeek[2]?

Also, there are more than 11 times as many Ruby projects at GitHub as there are C# projects[3] (even though .NET developers vastly outnumber Ruby developers).

Its just my sense when I look at the git status of most of the private repos. Can't provide a source, sorry.
How Do You Reverse Engineer a Song?
Currently there are a broad set of tools to manage thousands of PCs from a core infrastructure, think Puppet or Chef for Windows Desktops. And you can set broad policies about software and access.

That sort of deployment, where you have say a call center with 1,500 people sitting in front of a PC to look up orders and such on their desk. You can update all of them, make sure none of them can surf outside to random web sites, etc.

It is also useful in a large technology enterprise where you have many developers. (Say a large C# shop of contract coders) because the tools help manage workstation build environments etc. When you are a mixed shop it is less useful.

Basically if all of your IT needs can be met by Microsoft products, they have a good story about how you can deploy them, manage them, and maintain them. There isn't a solid open source equivalent. Part of Google's strategy there is 'Chromebook' since if you're running a bunch of terminals that makes things easier to centrally manage.

If you were going to build something in the FOSS space here it would probably impose some strong limits on customizations in order to work. It would also need a way of disabling 'smart' employees from subverting the system (remember the kids who broke through the restrictions in their school issued ipads?) You have to think in the mindset that your employees are not your friends and may be trying to subvert the system :-) The "ideal" (and I put it in scare quotes because most employees hate it) is a workstation that can only run the tools to do your job, and only browse to sites that help you do your job.

I expect we'll get back to that and there will be a 'soft' network for personal devices which is monitored.
If this is true, this whole thread is full of misinformation.
100,000 is an admirable goal, but I do not envy that "most important" selection process. Excluding episode and character articles (even the Good Article-ranked ones) may be a good start, but the worst bloat may be elsewhere.

This natural background radiation is not harmless, as the effects
of high exposure to cosmic background radiation (e.g. by frequent
trans atlantic flights) or high radon levels in homes or local soil
on cancer incidence have shown. [85, 86, 87, 88] It can be assumed
that a certain proportion of the 'naturally' occurring cases of cancer
are caused by constant exposure to 'natural' background radiation

And we don't have trade secrets, that's why ISL followed it up with this:

> want to know some of our most-clever trade secrets? Just read our papers, where we detail everything we do so you can replicate it

ISL was pointing out that many other professions have a lot of field specific knowledge with which they can charge people money to access. Academics print all of the information for basically free. So we already give it away for free, we don't have the time or patience to give it away free to somewhere that's not going to keep our work.
Very few resolvers break DNS TTLs in that way anymore. Google certainly honors TTLs down to at least 30 seconds. I'm not aware of any major ISPs that get this wrong anymore either.

This hasn't been a significant problem in years. When I execute a DNS change on a record with a 30 second TTL, I expect to see 95+% of the traffic move within a couple of minutes. The things that tend to get it wrong these days are applications that don't honor the TTL instead of resolvers, but browsers generally get it right.

Data is a static list of 1M website Urls and the web application uses Ajax to randomly pull from the server and iframes the Url. It pre-fetches and pre-renders 3-5 websites at a time to make it more seemless to navigate. Backend is done with NodeJS.
Doesn't that drive most of consumption (at least the social pressure aspect)?
I've not seen any effect on the radiation debate from Fukushima. The people saying that small amounts of radiation are harmless or even beneficial were saying that long before Fukushima. The people who were saying any radiation is bad are still saying it.
There is too much thinking going on here. This usually works: go up to girl, talk to girl, repeat. If you think to yourself "I need to show confidence", you are not confident and there's no need to pretend that you are. Plenty of girls are just as attracted to awkwardness. Rather than introducing yourself as some GQ character, be a real person instead. Too many guys are obsessed with "confidence" which is usually defined as being a dick. These guys tend to measure their self-worth by whether or not the hot girl likes them, so scoring is a big deal. Stop thinking: go up to girl, talk to girl, repeat.

This. Especially in cities, where car usage is a classic example of the tragedy of the commons. I personally would love to see the entirety of public transportation in major cities paid for by those who want to drive. Muni, BART, CalTrain, NYC Subway, etc. should all be funded via a tax on those who prefer to drive in a region where public transportation exists.

It's a major battleground already. The Russians are either far ahead or very unsubtle in this - it's particularly obvious with any story about Russia.
Frankly, I'd rather not have the Talk page or the "editors", and a lot more actual data input.

The barrier for entry to writing articles has to be way, way lower than it is; it shouldn't require a negotiation with a bunch of self-important petty bureaucrats.

What those self-important guys (they're mostly guys) miss is that the best is the enemy of the good. Their misguided approach to quality actively prevents improvement.

Outside the high-edit-count word-shufflers, I'd classify contributions to WP in four buckets: (a) substantial contributors who know a lot about a little and are able to significantly add or improve content; (b) trivial fixers, who fix grammar / spelling mistakes, or otherwise make tiny casual edits; (c) mindless vandals, who work some adolescent scrawl somewhere in the text, with varying degrees of visibility; and (d) the really sneaky stuff; well-written fakes, PR companies, reputation massaging, etc.

The guys in (a) need to be preserved at all costs. I think the editors are concerned about (d), but the trouble is that they're doing it in a rules-bound way, but because knowing the rules and right WP:INCANTATIONS is a source of power, the rules become a thing in themselves, rather than a last resort for eliminating (d).

I'd much rather have a more complete, comprehensive WP than one that's even 90% correct.
Huh. This would be alright on an iPad, but it doesn't fit my current flow of browsing HN:

* skim a page of links

* open ~5 interesting links in new tab, open comments if I predict the comments will be interesting

* go through tabs, which are already loaded by the time I get there

With this strategy, there's not a millisecond of perceived loading time.

> I hate that because this is precisely one of these things that gives capitalism very bad name.

I don't see how this has anything to do with capitalism. I just can't read it that way no matter how I look at it. I've worked extensively with Japanese companies. It's a cultural and political problem. Nothing else.
Hmm, I think you don’t really understand the Gretzky quote “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been” and how it’s used in this context.

If you skate to where the puck is now, you’re just following others, stuck in old ways, and you’ll always at a competitive disadvantage (it takes time to skate – if you skate to where the puck is now, you’ll never be able to hit it.) If you’re skating to where the puck is going to be (when you get there), you’re taking the lead, you’re anticipating change acting before it happens.

My point is that the Government should be the one trying to resolve that issue. Not Tepco. My claim is we would be all better off if a state could throw in its resources to help with the Disaster after effects. They seem just to sit there and blame Tepco instead of doing their job.
Although I don't see PR interests having any effect on the creation and publishing of these studies, those interests could certainly have an effect on the widespread link proliferation and blogging about them. After this spike in coverage tapers off, we could certainly do a study of how this particular story proliferated.
Let's be honest, race isn't an independent factor - at least in USA, it's highly correlated with family income and education level.

If you're comparing white kids in USA with all kids in Germany, then you're comparing apples with oranges - if you're putting a filter that excludes a large portion of poor families in USA, then you should exclude the same portion of poor families from the German results.

And if some other system is handling all social groups decently well, but USA fails with "certain parts of the system and population" as you say; then it's definitely a problem with "American educational system writ large".
Sorry about that. I deleted my comment after I realized the article was talking about attending grad school, rather than attending university in general, so my comment was talking past the central point and hence didn't apply. I should've made that clear with an edit rather than deleting it, though. It seemed to have no replies when I deleted it (which was three minutes after writing it).
> The real failure here is that you shouldn't be able to move the drive links out of the drive folder, since semantically that does not actually move the files.

Or stop trying to force a connection between Google Drive's file view and Google Docs.

Move the links out of GDrive all you want, it should have no effect whatsoever on the hosted GDocs. They're just links, after all. Since when does moving or deleting a link delete actual data?

Someone at Google tried to force a connection that doesn't even make sense, and this is the result. Whoever decided that moving a link out of a folder should delete the hosted document should be fired.
Well you can keep his edit and send the guy a polite message that he ought to cite his sources soon or you'll remove what he added. I mean, at worst you'll just have an article without a citation for a short while, without driving people away. What you are doing right now is this:

The video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6Kc5X...

You can quite clearly tell that this video was made for our congress-critters. Personally I have some concerns about the US Defense Department doing PR work, especially since he's throwing the words 'terrorists' and 'IP theft' around quite a bit.

I would love to hear the General's opinion on the prevalence of parallel construction and restricting NSA-sourced intelligence to DOD networks, with no exceptions made for transfer of intelligence to any other agency (especially the Justice Department).

The General touches on defensive operations and securing our infrastructure, however he rarely goes over our offensive capabilities and how often they're used against our adversaries. Furthermore there are the issues of interfering with security standards processes to intentionally weaken them, harboring exploits instead of pressuring vendors to fix them, and public oversight over the spying programs rather than secret oversight.
I understand, and I've noticed what seems to be a trend in WP articles of more "hard" sources. I think that's fantastic. My personal frustration as a would-be editor came from 3 types of edits that I would make that would frequently be reverted (years ago, and I haven't been back to edit since):

1. Grammar/typos - for whatever reason correcting "then" and "than" ticked some people off. "Could/would/should of", "intensive purposes", "loose/lose". These are common mistakes that happen with either careless writing or non-native speakers. The content can be good, but it feels like amateur hour and cleaning it up should be encouraged. Most of my changes of this sort were reverted within hours, even though I would include a comment in my commit explaining the changes.

2. Correcting based on the citations provided. Read an article, see something that seemed off, go to the citation. The citation states the exact opposite of the WP article (or some segment of the article), and I'd make changes based on that (usually it was careful editing so that it was a paraphrase or quote that dropped a "not" or something).

3. New content. I was new to WP editing, so I didn't know all the arcana (the process seems as esoteric to new editors as the old AD&D manuals seem to modern RPG players). I'd write something, post it, have the citations, realize I didn't put them in the day after. Everything was gone. I'd remake the changes with the citations, and it'd still be reverted (I honestly can't recall anymore which articles). I'm not doing research, there was no POV issues, I was just fleshing out content that was barebones. I'm the sort of person that could've been a good maintenance editor, filling in sparse articles or rectifying the information in others. Instead, the community seemed to actively reject my contributions. After a few starts like this, I saw no reason to persist.
We can talk about radiation all day, but I guess the larger point is:

"There have been no acute radiation syndrome fatalities reported due to the Fukushima accident, while approximately 18,500 people died due to the earthquake and tsunami. Future cancer deaths from accumulated radiation exposures in the population living near Fukushima are predicted to be extremely low to none."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disas...

So why are we talking about the radiation here? The effect is meaningless in comparison. Why aren't we talking about what to do about tsunamis?
"X years in jail if you give us the keys, X^2 if you don't" works nicely, I'd imagine. Plea agreements are a very, very powerful - and potentially abusive - tool.
Basically came here to say the same thing, I like Geoff but this isn't "new" in that sense. The "newness" here is that Seagate just put it into their base board controller. Had they been a bit smarter about it they would have put in two Ethernet PHYs and then you could dual port the drive, much like the old DSSI drives from DEC.

Routing is also a non-issue since a single drive on the network is about as useful as a single drummer in a marching band, basically you're going to need at least three to make something with a bit of reliability, and more if you want efficient reliability. So between your actual storage 'processor' and the storage 'elements' you drop in a cheap bit of Broadcom silicon to make a 48 port GbE switch and voila, your much more reliable than SATA and much cheaper than FC.

I'm sure tho that the folks at Google are all over this. :-)
They lost about 300 first responders and exposed at least 100,000 reservists to very dangerous levels of radiation in the cleanup operation. Some of the video and stories of the cleanup are quite crazy.

Hang on while I put on my puritan hat.

This kind of societal screwed-up-ness is exactly what's predicted by those who say that you shouldn't have sex outside of marriage. People get in the habit of hooking up, which sets up unrealistic expectations on both sides. We're losing the ability to have real relationships. Remember that article about how people in Japan "aren't having sex anymore"? The HN comment consensus was, they are, they just don't have lasting relationships, because that's too hard.

People take the easy way out, even if it makes them unhappy later. If you can have sex without being married, that's easier than taking the time to develop a deep relationship, even if you're never really happy.

Of course, nothing will work if people don't have good character, which is really the problem. If people are getting married just to have sex, not because they're prepared to make the sacrifices required by living and working together, then things only get worse. We've instilled an entitlement mentality in lots of people, and we're reaping the results.

Anyway, if you wanted to know why premarital sex is considered immoral in most major religions (the big 3 monotheistic ones, anyway), you're watching it, live.

There is an export feature, which allows you to export "all" your data you have stored on Google's server incl. Google Docs (which will be exported to Word, Excel, PowerPoint formats, respectively). In your account settings there you can find "Download your data".

Doing regular backups even of your data in the cloud is in my opinion a crucial action, since everyone trusts fully into the cloud provider to provide his data always, anywhere and forever, which is - as you experienced - a dangerous and naive assumption.
FWIW, the RefControl add-on gives you more fine-grained control.

I use it to spoof the referrer as the root of the site when I link in and then the correct referrer when navigating within the site. In some rare cases I force the referrer to be google, that lets you past some paywalls.

If you look at the datasheet for that component[1] you'll see that it's actually a really slow (24MHz) "M8C" core, which turns out to be a MIPS core[2]. It's got a ton of GPIO and various other interfaces (I2C, SPI, serial) as well as USB. I would bet that that chip drives a bunch of the little stuff.
