This site has some nefarious cloudflare thingy on it that tells me that my machine is infected. I am quite sure that is not the case. It will not let me access the website in question unless I enable third party cookies which is something

Sure. [2] talks about reprap's philosophy and is a good a place as any to start. Not many are talking about this yet but this is the new revolution. It has to be! [1] http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page [2] http://vimeo.com/5202148 [3]

I think the "loop" is indeed moving on. The last real mini-revolution this side of the line probably were torrents. The whole social web is just wrong. It's centralized. It's not the web - it is a corruption of it. It is like the great

This is completely true and exactly the place I am stuck at. I have a product with major parts in RoR, that the business end user loves but the IT just won't let through. I have to now learn asp.net mvc and port everything over to it. I

Is there a non scribd version of this pdf? Scribd says "all download limits exceeded from your ip" and won't let me download or read anything beyond slide 26.

Hindi doesn't have capital letters either. I think we recognize a name more by it's context than the case of the first letter. If I found a hindi word I didn't recognize, I would still be able to tell if it were a name or not. Perhaps c

It's back up. From the site: "If you've arrived here from yardoc.org/docs or rdoc.info, don't be alarmed. We've finally merged the two sites just like we said we'd do, And we made sure none of your project URLs were harmed." Excellent! I

My pitch: Improved speed and security all over the place, a saner mailing solution, lazy queries and first class support for rails engines. (A/B testing whole engines out kind of things are what I find exciting.) Having said that, this ve

Exactly. Von Neumann architecture, null string termination in C and lack of encryption in TCP/IP are all arguably the things we got spectacularly right. All these three are efficiency + simplicity vs features + complexity trade offs. Ima

This is insane. I have just had to explain 3 people on #ruby-lang why my error log has 1.9.1 in it if I am running purely 1.9.2. This tangentially breaks the principle of least surprise. I can't see any good reason for doing this. This w

So in India, the print will cost me about 10 grand per year and the pdf a grand. I wish I were in college. I could just get my library to subscribe to it.

Other than the usual ones mentioned here, in a rails specific environment, I use rsense[1], acp[2], rails.vim[3]. This works really well for me and I would recommend it to any rails developer. [1] http://cx4a.org/software/rsense/ [2] ht

Just in case, it's not obvious to someone, that comic is built using panels from different actual C&H. The first time I came across it I was intrigued how I had missed this one and went out hunting for it's publishing date.

Fair enough but url shorteners break the web[1][2]. That is quite clearly not a good trade-off. I avoid url shorteners unless they be absolutely necessary. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening#Criticism_and_pr... [2] http://

Oh cool! Maybe you can help me here... The part I could not stand about java was getting tied up to an IDE. Every tutorial, book and "experienced" java programmer in college seemed to insist on one (mostly eclipse or netbeans). That jus

For me it's mostly sites tracking way too much information at my end. It just creeps me out. Consider the kind of information tracked by google[1]. There is no way to dodge stuff like that other than noscript. [1] http://entertainment.s

Also notably, slackware has shifted it's packaging format to a xz tar since the last two releases. This validates xz as a good replacement for gz/bz2.

What about spoofed emails? Come to think of it, how does posterous handle that? One way would be to mail the user back asking them to reply to confirm and then recording the details of the genuine mail server. Does posterous do that? On

I am an Indian and I can point you to a number of incidents involving banning of books, movies and jailing of artists. People jailed for posting anti Sonia Gandhi messages on Orkut[1], banning of the comic Savita Bhabhi[2], seizing of Ask
