I feel like I should point out that if a script to recognize and fix those common patterns is that simple to create - its just as simple for a spammer/scraper to create. This implies its probably not worth obfuscating your email in the firs

Any chance you have a post sharing your prompt string? It looks quite useful.

You would modify the hidden form values (or add parameters that didn't exist) depending on the situation. These new/modified parameters would appear in Rails' params hash which would then be passed to the update function which, by default,

We used Moodle in the engineering department at my Uni and let me say - its better than blackboard (what isn't?) but its not "miles ahead" by a long shot. Its still pretty awful. I think the space is ripe for disruption.

I have a Griffin device and you can set them into "international mode" which lets you transmit on frequencies that aren't used by US radio. It works great for me, this review appears to contain instructions for your particular device: http

Great article, picking apart low level code like this can be super informative - and you've explained it well.

Contrary to what you've said here - I've never been a fan of a la carte pricing. I want the unlimited plan. When I get home from work - I generally have netflix on in the background with some documentary or other while I do housework or hac

Congrats guys! I worked with Nathan, and he's a brilliant guy. Well deserved success.

Very cool post - not only is it informative, but you've taken the "oh-so-rare" extra step of actually coding up a solution to what you're talking about - rather than taking the easier approach and just telling others what they're doing wron

Well this is taking a sharp turn into the legal and philosophical - both arenas in which my knowledge is woefully inadequate - but as I understand it, laws against killing people have nothing to do with morality. You can't kill a person (or

Ya, that is why I put it in quotes. Who is to say what truly is moral? I'm sure there are some things which we can universally agree on, but others maybe not so much. Morality is a relative thing. Personally I tend to follow the non-aggress

While your point may or may not be true - I fail to see how this pertains to whether the state should be involved in legislating morality? I feel that if you picked some other moral issue - say gay marriage for instance - the majority of us

I think this comment leaves out the possibility that one can be well aware of both possibilities and prefer the suburban lifestyle. Having lived in SF, I can tell you unequivocally that I cannot stand the city lifestyle. Its crowded, loud a

Obviously this isn't the forum to get into an economics debate, so I'll just leave it at this: we have never, ever had true "Laissez faire" free markets. We have always had corporatism/corporate capitalism. There is a very distinct differen

I believe that at a minimum you must be given the opportunity to opt out. I've been a "member" of a class action suit on a couple of occasions. I only knew I was a member because mail showed up informing me that I was, and giving instructio

In a free society all of those things WOULD be allowed. And most of us sane, rational people would opt not to give those discriminatory companies money. That's what freedom actually is. Its having the freedom to be an asshole, bigot or raci

I wonder if that has something to do with your home network or isp? I stream HD netflix constantly through my bluray player and xbox and never have so much as a hiccup.
