Mainstream media coverage has also turned in Swartz’s favor. Not really. The quotes they provide are either neutral at best, from decidedly not "mainstream" media, or are just the news outlets quoting DemandProgress. I can kind of sympath

Yeah, the switch that he hard-wired into would certainly count as a "computer".

by tghw 15y ago
Yeah, I haven't seen anything that backs up Demand Progress's position.

Does anyone think it's odd that an Acer laptop could write these files to disk faster than JSTOR could serve them? Not at all. Writing to the hard drive is going to take much less time than downloading the articles from a remote server.

I think part of the difference is that the Django docs are just so good, there isn't a lot I can think of that a book would add. DjangoSnippets.org is also pretty useful, as are the multitudes of Django apps available on GitHub and BitBucke

It also lists a lot of "Coming Soon" features for Veracity. Until they're released, they shouldn't be in the chart.

This is how Kiln[1] got started at Fog Creek. We wanted a good way to do code reviews after checking it in to a branch. (Checking in before you review makes it possible to review the changes in steps, instead of looking at one huge diff.)

Look at the domain. If I'm downloading jQuery, it should be jquery.com. If I'm not sure what the domain should be, try to get it from someone I do trust, like the Google-hosted libraries[1]. If it's from GitHub or BitBucket, try to make sur

I may be mistaken, but I think that's part of the idea with G+; you post an update to a specific circle and you basically have a chat with that circle.

I'm not saying I would do this, I'm just kind of amazed that Google has gained so much trust that some people have stopped bothering.

What I find incredible about this is that Google has gotten so good at returning exactly what we want that we no longer bother checking the authenticity of it, even when it's something specific. If Google was "lagging behind on the game" as

The goal of changing the difficulty is to maintain a constant rate. As the computational power dedicated to mining Bitcoins increases, the difficulty increases proportionately, to keep the overall rate of Bitcoin discovery more or less cons

The law isn't about using the internet, it's about creating accounts and profiles. The Khan Academy has had some trouble with this. Kids can watch the videos and do the exercises, but if they want to record their progress, they start walkin

Seconded. We used the flask-appengine-template ( https://github.com/kamalgill/flask-appengine-template ) and it's been great so far. Flask and Jinja2 make views and templates really easy, and the AppEngine data store fits well for the model

Seriously. If you come back, I'll give you a Golden Retriever. And I promise it won't try to jump of any ledges.

Yup, it's working as advertised (a.k.a. awesomely!) Had to modify how the template tag was being imported for Jinja2, but that was dead simple.

Just put it in a GAE project I've been working on for the past couple weeks. Looks great so far!

If you are in public and someone snaps your photo, they can and use it for pretty much anything non-commercial. This is because, in public, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy. In this case, the guy is using a photographic device

Joel's main point is that, even with CA's labor code, it can still come down to a gray area around what a company's "business" is. What I think the OP is pointing out is that in NY a company is able to set up a more restrictive contract tha

by tghw 15y ago
I think the OP's point is not that startups need this, but that people working 9-5 in a cubical farm in CA have a chance at starting a side business and eventually growing it into a startup, whereas in NY they have less protection for that

They weren't selling it directly, but they are making money off of it without giving her a cut.

> There's no law against it, but I still consider it shady. Actually, there are. The entirety of copyright law deems this an infringement. Just because you have access to something and it is easy to copy does not give you the right to

You are badly confusing publishing with copyrights. Most photographers like their work published. Some publish through art galleries, some through newspapers, some through billboards, and some through twitter. None of these make it public d

I'm not a lawyer, but I do moonlight as a photographer, and my best understanding is that, yes, you have the copyright as soon as you create the photo, and it enforceable at that point, but it is more enforceable (in the form of attorney’

It's not dependent on the first breach. If I understand correctly that it only requires an email address and birth date to change someone's password, then it would be pretty easy to grab all of that data from somewhere like Facebook and run
