uncommon web was fantastic -- I haven't looked at it for a while, but the mailing list (which I'm subscribed to but no longer read) isn't too active. There do seem to be a few people still using and developing it though. An approach like t

Oh man, that rang true! (I just read the whole post). I did manage to finish mine a few years ago, largely running on fumes and requiring a re-write largely from scratch after the initial examination with a near-nervous-breakdown during e

I'm sure you've seen it, but just in case you haven't: http://research.sun.com/projects/lively/ (basically a smalltalk environment in javascript/DOM, rather than the VM in javascript). There's a good tech-talk by Dan Ingalls on it that's

That was amazing. My favourite subversive radio story before this is the balloon radio transmissions in Poland: http://www.idlewords.com/2007/04/balloon_pirate_radio.htm

NICTA (ICT research organisation in Australia) have something similar: http://www.tiniwiki.com/main/ I believe it's a demo application of some compression technology they've developed that can be updated with more recent content easily, b

Emacs users may wish to check out this hack (reload browser via MozRepl on save): http://hyperstruct.net/projects/mozrepl/emacs-integration It's quite neat, but very easy to get confused: if you switch to a different tab to read documenta

These were a big part of how I learned git. Do check out his git internals book; the material in it is basically what's in the 'casts, structured along the lines of his RailsConf talk: http://gitcasts.com/posts/railsconf-git-talk The app

I think the key word there is probably "product"; there's certainly been some great demos that have come out of MSR. A thought that comes to mind is that this could be the ideal product for those demonstrators: the concept has been proven

Just came here to post that. It really is amazing; incredibly handy for javascript development. (It even warns about redeclaring variables, all kinds of issues).

There's a new effort to make a native OSX interface for mplayer incidentally; seems fairly active so far, and includes apple remote integration, etc: http://mplayerosx.sttz.ch/

It's also interesting timing, coming as it does on the heels of their "Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data" paper. I'd have to re-read it to comment, but at least some felt that it was being rather dismissive of semantic-web structures: htt

Also, have a look at elscreen if you haven't already. Most of the keybindings are the same (using C-z by default as the prefix), then you can switch between window configurations easily. http://www.morishima.net/~naoto/software/elscreen/i

Not necessarily easy, but I cannot recommend "Bread" by Hamelman enough: http://www.amazon.com/Bread-Bakers-Book-Techniques-Recipes/d... It's actually geared towards professional (artisanal) bakers, but all recipes include home proportion

Summarising even further... note that most of those involve "delete"! At least, that's what I usually end up doing. The more concise it is, the easier it is to absorb. It's quite sobering how long it can take to get something that concise

Absolutely! My favourite bit from "A Beautiful Mind" -- the book -- is still that early chapter describing what an astonishing collection of intelligence Princeton had attracted at that point time (1930s): Einstein, Goedel, von Neumann, C

The only local one I've tried is boodler: http://boodler.org/ (it's a "soundscape generator" written in python, which from memory has at least white and pink noise reasonably out-of-the-box).

I know it's probably not what you're asking for, but if you just want a white/pink/brown noise generator this is an excellent little flash app: http://www.simplynoise.com/

I completely agree (and the list doesn't stop there of course; it's pretty sobering when you look at just how many great books he has co-authored). Every single one of them is a great example of crystal-clear and concise writing.

48 minutes, but the last 18 are questions. It doesn't talk much about django itself, but concentrates on the types of data they have to deal with, how they obtain it, etc. The big news (to me, anyway) is that under the terms of the grant u

I've been bitten by that (loved my fullscreen emacs). It only worked in the carbon version; CVS now uses cocoa as far as I know.

That is actually one of the better intros I have seen, which surprised me some-what (there are quite a lot of introductions to git now!). Possibly I've just used git enough by now -- albeit not intensively -- that it was easy to follow, bu
