Seriously? How on earth could this have not been uncovered long ago? I know that the pbay lawyers are really good, I wonder if they knew this all along and held it as a card in case they lost. I mean, the judge is not just a member of a Swe

Often when I'm confronted with a policy suggestion I think, "I can't possibly know enough about the ecosystem that policy impacts to say whether the policy would succeed." Not being a domain expert in most issues, I reserve judgement on the

Yeah, it is a funny name. I'm not sure, though, about this link. Seems a little spammy. When I saw this link on HN, with a little "mozilla.org" I thought, "Wow, someone at Mozilla is blogging about a cool plugin." But no, the DDG guys just

Hmmm. What the article describes as "The Elevator Effect" is basically traffic spikes due to effective PR. Alone such spikes are worthless. Without a product people actually get value from (ie: what enables organic growth), the spike just d

Yeah, it made me think about a funny thing that happened to me a month ago: Last month I created the template for an HTML email on behalf of my brother. Based on the advice of MailChimp ( http://www.mailchimp.com/resources/how_to_code_html_

I've been waiting for this feature for a really long time. Reminds me of 2005 when I was waiting for them to come out with Calendar and waiting for someone to come out with easy video publishing. Was so happy to see these products get made.

True. But types 2 and 3 are working hard, just without focus.

I think python (& django) is a great way to go. I'm relatively new to programming as well, and find that I'm able to get what I want to done. Try the book used in the course that's the focus of this thread, which you can get for free he

The textbook for this course is actually online, so in this instance the problem's solved. They're using the free book "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist," by Allen B. Downey. Check it out here: http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpytho

she says apparently there's a big debate going on at the WHO about whether everything should be done in R. currently they use R, Stata, and SAS.

also, unfuddle gives unlimited free git repos (or svn), which is nice. i don't use it for project management, but if i want to create a private remote repository and share it with folks, it's free, unlike many other choices.

I agree about changing the headline. It took a minute to figure out what the site was for, and that's bad. For music.rsstalker.com, I was really confused.

Click the button at the top right of the page and it throws up a fake spreadsheet over whatever video you were watching. This is hilarious and interesting. I'd like to know how they decided to build that feature and how often it is used as

I really, really like this. I organize a fair number of small events with friends, and have been thinking for a while that I'd throw something like this together to make it easier to manage RSVPs while still enabling the actual invite to go
