Boo, I have a bit part listed on IMDB and it does not work on my name.

I read this as "Alert: Your _Planet_ Needs Water"

Is this really something we want to be encouraging in the development community?

It is disappointing that KA launched their Computer Science program not long after making their website closed source[0]. Doubly disappointing because of open-education projects that were using the software platform to do free education projects in Brazil[1] and Portugal[2].

If anyone would like to use this to write emulation instructions for Prince-of-Persia II [0], I would be happy to merge them into the github repo [0].

What about J? J was developed Ken Iverson (the creator of APL) as a successor to APL that replaced unicode characters with two character equivalents. It's not greatly publicized, but the latest J was released under the GPLv3 (http://www.jsoftware.com/source.htm).

This is nice. I might give Vimium another shot. Vimperator / Pentadactyl for Firefox implemented M as bookmarks if I remember correctly.

I see that lots of people are mentioning Pentadactyl. Vimium is a lightweight set of vim-like bindings for navigation in Chrome. Pentadactyl is a fairly major UI re-implementation of Firefox. You have a message window, and a : command area at the bottom of the screen url bar off by default). I think that Pentadactyl does a pretty good job of implementing the vim idiom for firefox, but unfortunately there are lots of places where the vim idiom gets in the way of people who have different navigation idioms for their websites. I found the escape keys to be cumbersome. Vimium implements a lot less of the vim idiom but it is very nice if only to get j/k C-d/C-b navigation. Overall I didn't find Vimium to be useful enough to be worth the work arounds I had to use. Pentadactyl, was useful enough to use full time.

At various points in my computer usage, I've dedicated Firefox to Pentadactyl, and left my Chromium unadorned. Now that you mention it, I'll probably set that up again.

The graphs he cites as evidence are referring to google's display network verses google's total revenue. If that is the case, then the author is presenting no information about facebook. I hope that he did not invest based on these graphs.

The [Hercules System / 360](http://www.hercules-390.org/_ that the author mentions and links to is maintained by [Jay Maynard](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Maynard), ROFLcon alumni and better known as [Tron Guy](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/tron-guy).

I'm surprised that more people don't mention bash tools, or gnu if that is the proper name for them.

I edit more text files using a combination of ack-grep, cat, sed and pipes than my primary editor (Vim). I had a hard time understanding how one of my coworkers doesn't use a project-wide find (ack-grep, grep, find, &etc).

One of my coworkers uses github's search for our repo. Bizarre, but works really well for him.

If you jump into the [code itself](https://github.com/worrydream/Tangle/blob/master/TangleKit/T...) it mentions that it is MIT licensed.

In my experience I have to reference the local path to a python file when using manage.py

`python manage.py runserver` becomes `python ./manage.py runserver`

But your mileage may vary.

Again? The 'Indian Government' makes an announcement like this every three to six months. There is really really weird politics surrounding this vs the OLPC project in India. Start believing in these releases when you have consumers purchasing them, and/or deployments greater than 100.

Twitter changed their ToS to explicitly disallow distributing twitter dumps like this: http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/the-end-of-twapperkeep...

I was a part of the webecology project (and 140kit.com, both of which gave large twitter datasets to researchers.
