I couldn't find any data/code associated with non-CS papers, across a quick sampling of US DSpace systems -- although most of the submissions seem to be from the back catalog. No offense to DSpace, but adequate systems for publishing open d

What Abelson doesn't mention is making the underlying data and runnable source code available with each paper -- a game-changer for independent verification. Open papers has to be won, as a first political battle, but I don't see open data

Here, here. I've always committed original code to the public domain and have been glad to see greater use of less restrictive licenses. Whatever havoc near-term miscreants create, sharealike is not easily thwarted; transparency and trust

Or start one. The smart contrarian will see early the comeback for corporate monoliths. And very slowly begin his work. :)

Hmm, are software startups really high risk to founders? Does this argument even matter? Liberal industry culture lets founders move in and out of startups, consulting and full-time arrangements. High compensation lets founding teams take

Vint Cerf and others intimate full interoperability between IPv4 and IPv6 (i.e. I can get to every site, regardless of my network) was beaten to death in the standards committees, but ultimately there was no technical consensus to be had.

Hear, hear. A courageous article. How often journals such as Science or popular outlets as Scientific American permit themselves creeping or outright ad-hominemisms. Recapture politics to fortify the scientific method: publish all data an

Say it loud: automation is exponential leverage. Without it, you are a slave to linear improvements in productivity. Happily, startups are particularly unsaddled with the intransigent obstacles to automation. Apply to all areas of the bu

The grammar is perfect. Do we want chance of extended pain or foreshortened? Given the purportedly uncharted macroeconomics, each solution could give us either outcome. It's a many-worlds interpretation ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man

I don't want to defend Google per se, but their uptime results speak for themselves. I don't see how a rare bug necessitates mocking. And I agree about resiliency of the deploy -- it's what I meant by sophisticated testing of these moment

Hmm, on your Google point, we know that they use partial-cluster deployments extensively, and several presentations point to sophisticated testing of these momentary guinea pig users. I wouldn't hold a one-time lack of a sanity check again

Can you try fiddling with the properties in the following viewport ref? Unless one forces min/max scale values, the iPhone seems to scale on width overage to keep the full page in view, nicely. http://developer.apple.com/documentation/app

Actually, my reason for writing pg is that icombinator crashes often (especially rendering comments) and hides several site features in trying to create a pleasing interface, whereas I did the minimal necessary for sizing and all the featur

Heh, you wound me sir. I had pulled down HN and tested the mods. Here are the URLs to test on the phone. http://lookerupper.com/hn/news.html http://lookerupper.com/hn/comments.html Obviously not an optimal iPhone interface, but enough

Right on. This is conventional and repetitive thinking and should be ignored at all costs.

Note that new domain registrations at Namecheap currently include a free SSL cert (1st free), and you can use them for arbitrary hostnames. Roughly same distribution of the parent cert in browsers.

Tried implementing DKIM+DomainKeys and SPF? Haven't had problems since I did that. (Though I don't run a big list via qmail -- only outgoing user notifies, signup, etc.) I'm using a qmail-remote wrapper for dk computation.

re mailing lists / newsletters: I've had good luck with campaignmonitor.com. You can pre-test your send against ISP loopbacks for both spam filtering and final rendering checks. API for list mgmt, plays well with design staff. And one ho

It would be nice if these articles (especially in net-savvy Wired) included computability and physical access arguments defining the current limits of practical internet surveillance, scoping a bit the unbounded oh-my-god-they're-reading-ev

Glad someone pointed to Taubes. What saddens me about the (reported) response to calorie transparency's backlash is uniform fat reduction, instead of menu options for different kinds of metabolism. My weight, for instance, happily drops w

Kevin Kelly in The Next Fifty Years of Science ( http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6119231548215342323 ) has one answer: the Chinese never developed the leverage of the scientific method, and corollary, all such civilizations are stu
