Hm. I have something like this already setup privately. It's just a Node.js app that routes post requests to the private-access git address. I suppose I should clean it up and release it.

Quite. I looked up some other articles by this guy, and his viewpoint is very evident.

Not new advice, but it's worth being reminded about. I think programmers actually follow this principle quite a bit. It's just that once they have written a nice tool, they release it as open source software. For a lot of people, I think th

They seem to have been restored. There was, however, definitely a window of time when they were ghost deleted.

Another interesting thing: on Facebook I have a fake account that I use to check how my account appears to other people. Statuses and links I've posted to collateralmurder.com keep disappearing from other peoples' displays.

There's no need to apologize for critique. Thanks.

There is a lot of upside to being perceived as a luxury good. I think Apple is the model example. Anecdotally, I know my mom charges a lot more for piano lessons than many other teachers in the area. Which has the effect of making her more

I don't think this analogy applies, insofar as you can't implement apples with oranges. ;) However, anyone who has worked through SICP will tell you, you can implement objects with closures.

Ramen noodles don't have to be unhealthy, if you add a tiny bit more expense. Start cooking ramen like normal. When it starts to boil, crack and egg in and stir. The soup will cook the egg, of course. Also peel a few leafs off a head of let

Could this be applicable to search ranking? Say I was doing a search based on an input string, and I had a "closeness of match" heuristic. That expected value for N=100 case seemed so good that I'm considering the possibility that you only

In short, no. You are calculating the expected value differently in the two problems.

I'm impressed. I've been using Sinatra and a bit of Monk, and I have to say the bundled helpers are very nice. One problem I have with Sinatra is sometimes extensions are fairly sketchy. :/ So I like that more the boilerplate here is someho

I use this in a project I'm working on. The comment and post delete buttons turn into deactivatable countdowns when pressed, so if you misclick you can click again to prevent the transaction. So far people have responded positively, but you

Sorry to ruin it for anyone, but this is a hilarious April Fools prank. Edit: Apparently that wasn't the author's intention. It's just that the application has funny injection vulnerabilities.

Right, it's certainly not as clear cut as some people have been making it out to be. I think that by and large, though, Wikileaks has not released anything that would come in conflict with the "clear and present danger" criterion pioneered

It's interesting that reddit provides both good numbers, in _addition_ to a number of hard to quantify but tangible benefits.

Your argument seems to have troubling conclusions, so please correct me if I'm reading you wrong. So... political causes don't get free speech anymore? What United States is it that I'm living in, where political causes can be censored?

Except those aren't actually the original picture. That's the picture with the trash already removed. Not that I'm saying Gimp can't do as good of a job. It's exactly the same technology based on the same research. But I am saying that blog

Yeah, I did. My thoughts on that subject are a bit mixed. Before online high school I was home schooled, and I'm certain I would've learned more had I remained home schooled. However, as an alternative to a brick and mortar high school, I t

Because I attended an online high school. ;) In case you are wondering, though, yes I've met him in person. Many of us would meet up during school breaks at a central location, like Chicago.

I was a classmate of Colin's, and I want to emphasize that he is extremely well adjusted. When he was in high school he struck everyone as a bright--if a little smaller than usual--high school student. So I'd love to not hear any "he should
