Android apps are actually an extreme pleasure to code in vim/emacs and build from the commandline. The shell debugging tools are very nice, too. Eclipse doesn't really add that much to the experience other than setting up the initial requ

I'd point a finger not at LNKD but at GOOG for not having better a better security impl in gmail. If anyone can send an email that requires just one click in it to peruse and use your contacts list, that is a bug. Any 3rd party should n

No matter how long you think they can get, take care if you are going thru a load balancer - many, (those by Citrix come to mind) can mysteriously truncate URLs and cause all manner of weird bugs. And, of course, insert here a long-winded r

This gives you a whole new perspective on techies who gripe about being roped into fixing the family computer over the holidays because they are "on vacation" and don't want to work!

This is actually a pretty interesting story. AW well and truly disrupted the online porn industry decades before "disrupt" was a buzzword. They valued transparancy, connected with customers, had a web style that was vastly different than

I don't think it's surprising, but to watch the actual data change in real-time is fascinating. We're entering the era of real-time, fine-grained, high-scale opinon metrics like never before.

I actually love the idea of this tool in general. Would be neat to open it up where you can just paste in the URL of any FB page and get the counter/deltas! I'd also suggest adding a cumulative delta counter, rather than just the delta per

It's not just Chrome. I get just as awful a rendering on Firefox ESR 10.0.5 on Win7-64.

While they may offer a discount for using BTC, their prices start off much higher than the competition. Clicking around in the section for LCD monitors, all the name-brand models were 50-80% more expensive than on the likes of newegg and am

Honestly, the choice of HSPA+ over LTE is a no-brainer. The former is plenty fast and has better coverage domestically and all over the world; the latter is a smidgeon faster in limited cases and a battery hog. LTE offers some interesting

If you're lucky enough to log straight to JSON, you can pipe straight into recs. Otherwise, recs-frommultire is a great way to get the stream started. From there, I typically end up using recs-grep or recs-xform to filter or transform the

Interestingly, the exchange rate is slumping the last two days: http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg60zczsg2012-09-01... I wonder if an easier disposal method for US customers is letting miners unload en masse?

Does anyone know the exact model of board in that photo? Clicking around their site yielded only images, and sadly little text.

For those too lazy to RTFA, very cool in that it is an open source design and parts list rather than a for-sale/profit part. One big plus seems to be cheap/easy duplication of GND and V+ pins.

All joking aside, because the government is created by the people to serve the people. It is not in the slightest sense the job of the government to sustain itself. That behaviour is the sole result of overpaid, power-hungry politicians w

The lesson is: don't build a system that requires or advertizes high avilability but that runs in a single datacenter. Load balance. Elect leaders. Batch, queue, and distribute. Fail-over. Fail fast. So long as we have earthquakes, li

A "rather large online retailer based in Seattle" is a Linux shop and started using Kerberos for ssh to excellent results a few years back. Once properly set up, the ability to ssh around between Linux and Windows boxen is just pure bliss.

It is interesting that they mention Perforce releasing a git-compatible frontend/adaptor. I've heard that at least two top-10 code shops (hint: both are in Seattle) built something like this in-house over a year ago since they were unable
