That doesn't sound like a bad system to me, but I think I achieve the same clarity by writing my queries in a more explicit way. I always use multi-part identifiers. For instance, I would join "ON user.id = post.user_id".

The idea of an organization dedicated to removing sections of the bureaucracy reminds me of Netflix's "Chaos Monkey".

I like the self-paced Udacity model. I think courses "debut" one week at a time (not sure about that part), but established courses can be done in chunks of a few minutes over whatever timespan you choose.

The two comments that frame this as an over-reaction to a helpful list of links have a valid point. But, for what it's worth, my first read of esolyt's post was that it was a terse reprimand for reposting, and in that mindset I definitely a

I've heard that was a very lucrative business for a while.

Oh, is THAT why they do the glow thing? I always hated it, and wished they'd used the much more 'tactile' bounce-back behavior. It didn't occur to me that they were legally barred from using a 'method to emulate physical resistance upon ove

Don't forget the part where they rip up his papers. That's pretty out of line.

Whenever the Star Simpson incident comes up, I'm surprised how quick people are to blame her. From the accounts I've read, I don't thing she did anything wrong, or even suspicious. (Contrary to reports, the "suspicious substance" in her had

It's been a while since I used refine, but IIRC it just ran on localhost and I didn't have to upload anything.

I've had a hard time getting up in the morning all my life, and it was worse in the winters after moving to Portland. I ended up getting an earlier version of this gadget ( http://www.amazon.com/Philips-goLITE-BLU-Therapy-Device/dp/B... ),

I love the name they picked. "Open your mind to Kuato" The reference might not be quite obscure enough once the remake comes out though.

Sounds like they're not looking to bootstrap a business that would produce a return on investment. Instead of making a commercially viable game, they're talking about founding a platform and cultivating a market for sword fighting games.

Yeah, I still use it. After all, I have many years of bookmarks in there. I'm happy to see it emerging from stasis now that Yahoo has set it free.

Some of the comments here have gotten me thinking about access to test devices. I've never worked on android, so I don't know if installation of lots of unfinished software would be logistically sane, but what about meetup groups where loca

On at least one Android browser I've used, holding my finger on a link for a second or two pops up an option to open the link in a new window.

I think I agree with sunahsuh. When a system is stacked in a certain direction, appeals to personal responsibility can win battles but will lose the war. In the prisoner's dilemma, we can hope for mutual co-operation, but until the rules of

I love it. Any chance you would expand to more general "news" applications? The audio wouldn't be as good for syncing against, but I've always wanted an interface like this for watching protest videos.

Is it possible that this is counterbalanced by the circulatory system's reaction to cold? For instance, perhaps surgery on the limbs is easier when the body is reducing peripheral circulation as it does in someone experiencing hypothermia.
