To be fair, the portable devices are not yet monitoring all conversations due to battery life constraints. If it were a wall powered device, I would be very wary of it, but until then it seems highly unlikely it can achieve that behavior a

To follow up with this. You could add `conky -c json.conky | while read json; do echo $json > /opt/http/monitor/info.json; done` to your start. Then just static serve the `info.json` file and it should update at wha

You could use the conky-cli build (without the X dependency). You could then run it and pipe the output into some file that you serve statically. Hmmm may spend some time investigating.

Great read! Upon finishing, the two sides seem to be opposite solutions of a good problem (that is getting a non singular path to guarantee code quality). It seems that the best solution is a mixed approach. Using pairs to gain the benef

I am curious if this has any relation to their recent acquisition of Braintree Payments. If they are instead using Braintree as the payment gateway, it could work out very well for the participants.

I also like using argparse. Nice utility library to "power up" helpful scripts.

My friend that works at Motorola says there were frictions in having Google brand their own company's flagship phone as a Nexus device. Probably a lot of hard feelings still between Google and Samsung (among others).

Well it came out with the latest one (the CF exploit) that they were gagged on it when the FBI got involved. They eventually came out about it when the gag was removed, but only so much. When the FBI gets involved, usually the transparenc

It is more a combination of the small and vocal user base and the message it sends to them about Google being open to cutting any product that has a usage they don't think is significant. Those people who see Google cut a product that they

This is something I view along with the "Ship it" idea. When I work on any project, I try to think of what the minimum is for the project to reach the real alpha stage. Where it is at least usable. Only then do I begin to entertain the v

Interesting idea, the interaction would get very difficult with more pictures in the stack. Also lacks a way to work in mobile. But you are really onto something here, would be interesting to see how this can be improved!

I disagree, jQuery is more of a compatibility layer. Think of it (in a way) like an ORM for various SQL backends. They allow you to change between different SQL implementations without needing to learn the various nuances of each engine.

I actually attended the talk this is from, the concept of recipe writers vs abstractioners is not aimed at the actual developers but at the tools and how they are developed. His idea is that the tools should be built around aiding develope

It isn't the information they can view, it is the things they can do impersonating you. Any application installed on your phone can probably access the two authenticating pieces of information. Then they can impersonate you in messages to

You may like dwb[1] It uses webkit and handles what you mentioned. Written in C++, so you don't get the Haskell learning part, but it doesn have the javascript extensions thing (albeit not fully finished yet). [1] http://portix.bitbucket.

While this is (from my experience) incredibly inaccurate of the programming community at large. My fear is that it will encourage a perception of people looking for a career to embrace this stereotype. People who read this article may thi

Oddly, in the age of the internet, it is easier for someone to do open source at least part of the time for their employer. With the internet, a lot of the money for web based companies is not from the software itself, but the services the

I use a Macbook Air (Mid 2011) and run Arch Linux on it. Works fine, only thing that doesn't work is the Thunderbolt port. I picked the Air because the model was on its second year and had a history of people having Linux run on it. The

I think the biggest thing he emphasized is the fact that you can never be "The Best Programmer" because there is always something to learn and ways to grow. That is probably one of the keys to a good developer, they know that there is stil

From what I have heard, from contacts in the mobile hardware industry, Motorola is not currently working on a Google tablet, at least not one out in the next 3 months. I don't think that Google is going to push the other hardware partners

And the freedom they have is choosing the services they use as well. If a service wants you to use your real name and you don't want to, you don't use the service. That's the beauty of freedom, you are not required to use a service like G

Well the complaint is somewhat moot. The programming he is discussing is professional, where it is results and business driven. If every time a company wanted to develop a product that uses a database, MVC framework, web server, etc, the

I would think it could be beneficial to be able to streamline the .js file for people (think like jQuery.ui) so if I were developing something not in Japanese, the additional (and for me, useless) methods would not add to the code size, (as

Actually, in my recent job hunt (in Chicago no less) I saw a very even distribution in RoR and Django centric jobs. I believe outside of the Chicago area, it may even move towards a more Django dominant role. I am unsure of whether this i

Also, there's a beta version of Swype. Kind of wonky, but single finger SMSing is still nice.
