Just a caveat: we were using Highcharts for a prototype data analysis tool with sensitive data; unbeknownst to us, the export/print feature builtin to Highcharts actually ships the data back to highcharts.com to be rendered into the fi

Late one night in the early '80s I was bored and found myself paging through the code for WordStar (best I can remember) with 'ddt' on my Kaypro. Just page after page of Z80 disassembly and blocks of data… when suddenly I ca

Apparently, the fingerprint data is stored directly on the A7 and is not accessible to non-OS software; also, not backed up to iCloud. It will be interesting to see just how secure that data is.

I can remember using 'ddt' to rummage through the code for WordStar (I think) on my old Kaypro back in the early '80s. It really caught me of guard when somewhere deep in the middle of the disassembly I ran into some chunk o

The closest one I've run into is Agricola: it's almost pure skill ('almost' because there is an optional set of 'occupation' cards that get randomly distributed at the beginning of the game). The theme is building out the best farm by the

No sweat. I remember using Apple Forth (from Cap'n Software) in 1982 in Independent Study in high school. I made a cloud chamber simulator with it for the Physics department. (Side note: my public high school had an awesome science depart

I love Forth but it's anything but 'stackless'. In fact, it's probably one of the most stack intensive languages to ever exist (and one of the funnest, especially when used for embedded systems work). 'Starting Forth' is indeed a treasure,

Can't say much about Edge, but I assume that the upload speeds are mostly unaffected because that is mostly transmitted data from the phone (though it would be interesting to see if the phone is cranking up the transmit power when the anten

I've gone through all sorts of seating options (Aeron, exercise ball, kneeling chairs, etc.). None of them worked for me (I'm the type that loves to stand/walk), so I made a $14 standing desk mod: http://yfrog.com/fviw2j (basically four

I've noticed that folks commonly neglect the fact that the 1st amendment is specifically talking about the prevention of the -government- from restricting free speech, not individuals, not private entities. While I don't like Apple's curren

Just noticed that the quality of the upload is, um, a bit low res. I'll try to get an HD version uploaded Friday.

I'll just add that we (LinkedIn) are a JVM shop. Amongst our weaponry are: java, scala, other intriguing languages, hadoop, voldemort, OS X dev boxes (with scads of memory), lots of perks and fun projects. We also have many open source pro

LinkedIn is hiring across all our groups. Mostly a java shop, we are also working with Scala (and, semi-covertly, Clojure (at least I am at any rate)). http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=jobs_open

You can get the 17" MacBook Pro (which is a 14x9 screen) with a matte finish (extra $50). If you don't mind a 2.66ghz proc (vs. 2.8) and a 320gb HD (vs. a 500) you can get one of the previous gen 17" pros for $2300
