When future-you wishes present-you had done the thing. So in a sense there is a you (future-you) that actually does want to do the thing.


Oink's Pink Palace. Yes it was a torrent tracker so arguably illegal, but the breadth and depth of music it cataloged (not to speak of the community) is still unmatched.


Here's a bit of history that might get lost: OiNK's rules specified minimum bitrate of 192k for MP3 uploads. OiNK was a British tracker, and Radiohead's "pay what you want" MP3 release of _In Rainbows_ (2007) was purposefully 160k to be under that limit. I don't remember if the upload was allowed or not :p

Or you can just ask. I emailed asking for a refund, citing corona, the (pre-paid, non-refundable) hotel I was going to stay at for SXSW and they refunded me the entire sum. Very impressed, and I'm sure preferable to credit card charge backs.


The Sandbaggers is amazing; I found it to be more memorable and "realistic" (not that I could know) than le Carré.

I wrote a machine learning cheat sheet once, as a way to learn when I was in your seat: http://eferm.com/machine-learning-cheat-sheet/

Perhaps the cheat sheet in itself is useful for you, but mostly I'd recommend the process of assembling information in a concise way as a good way to learn.


Very cool. Thx for making this.



Yes, a thousand times yes. I have never understood why dependency injection is not taught in OOP courses -- as described in the article, DI truly shows why OOP design is useful. Conversely, the "domain model"-approach commonly used probably gains some of its attraction due to the similarities to E/R database diagrams, but far from always lead to designs which are actually useful in practice.


Nice! I've been using Arq for some time and it's great for selective backup (I use Backblaze for bulk backups.) Stefan, the developer of Arq, is also quick to reply and very helpful.


"-So, where are you taking Facebook at this point? Are you going to expand to those other schools that you're not at? And then, what?"

"-I mean, there doesn't necessarily have to be more. Like, a lot of people are focused on taking over the world ... part of making a difference and making something cool is focusing intensely."

Whoa. Sean Parker really changed him. Joking aside, I wonder at what point MZ started to considering taking over the world for real.


Anyone know why an OS X release is not on the list?



Apple manage their own java builds, and they usually lag way behind the sun/oracle releases.

With java "deprecated" in lion, who knows how long it will take this time.


It's not just Apple anymore.

Apple and Oracle will be working together to create an OpenJDK for Macs.

Not anymore.


Apple has always handled the Java releases for Mac.. they usually come later.. often much later.



Apple maintain their own release of the JVM for OS X.


No, this has changed. With the start of Lion Apple is no longer the gatekeeper and as was previously reported they are working with Oracle to create new releases of OpenJDK which is why people like myself are wondering where the release is since Apple was stepping away from being the gatekeeper.


Apple is still the gatekeeper in Lion: there are a ton of hooks that auto-install Apple Java via Software Update when it feels you need Java, like running into an applet or invoking the java command line binary.

In the future, they plan on placing Oracle in that role, I guess, but it hasn't happened yet. All Lion does is change it from shipped with the OS to not.


It also seems to remeove the java coocoa bindings and a few other things necessary for some software to work (eg: Juniper SSLVPN JSAM) - it's not clear whether this will be supported through a separate api Juniper needs to use, or whether the bindings needed are just not there. Funnily enough one must also use safari505 and not 6.whatever in this scenario as well.
