HN profile link? Do people take this seriously?

I've been using taskwarrior for organizing/scheduling most everything: http://taskwarrior.org

Rich people don't go to jail.

Isn't Clipper a separate entity from Caltrain? Or is Caltrain somehow handling that transaction for you on Clipper's behalf?

Still smugly using my Translink-branded card.

If you 'incrementally' include changes which are incompatible, you end up with many more compatibility barriers to keep track of.

"Oh wait, this machine has foo 1.5.2, not 1.5.6!!!"

Though a solution to this scenario is to avoid including too many libraries in the standard distribution in the first place, so that incompatible changes in those libraries don't affect the base.

This in turn means that big packages with lots of dependencies would need to say "you need fooliba-1.5.6, foolibb-4.3.2, etc" instead of just "you need foo-5.2", but other languages do this and they seem to manage it alright.

I was looking at 'dvtm' yesterday, but this looks a bit nicer. Thanks!

Reminds me of these guys, except 15 years later: http://www.well.com/

Obligatory wikipedia background:

"WELL membership is available to almost anyone, but requires a paid subscription and use of one's real name."

"The WELL was frequently mentioned in the media in the 1980s and 1990s, probably disproportionately to the number of users it had relative to other online systems. [...] This early visibility was largely the result of the early policy of providing free — comped — accounts for interesting journalists and other select members of the media. As a result, for many journalists it was their first experience of online systems and, later, the Internet, even though other systems existed."

Not much happened with them, either.

The linkbait title doesn't help their case.

Wish he could have been bothered to describe how he thinks things should be done differently.

Are they in your bedroom?

FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Is there currently much motivation for a given researcher to keep the data online somewhere after the paper is out? Who would handle the hosting?

Have you had any luck emailing the author of the paper?

Straying a bit from the original topic: For amazon price tracking I've used this and it's pretty good: http://camelcamelcamel.com/ (They apparently cover some other retailers too.)

Patches welcome.

Also, keep in mind that Apple themselves adopt existing open source projects for their own use. There's no reason a similar relationship couldn't exist here. And the hobbyist crowd they're currently targeting are unlikely to give a shit.

Does Your Site Have Annoyance Issues?

Immediately closed the tab when I got a popup asking for an email address.

Yeah, I do that with my laptop. It does everything, and I can use it for hours without discomfort.

I've never really understood tablets.

I'm of the opinion that if I was going to carry around something too big to fit in a pocket, I might as well just make that thing a laptop.

For everyone's complaints about Microsoft back in the day, at least they didn't also control the hardware.

This is a solution in search of a problem

- Get an alarm clock that plays cds

- Burn/insert cd

- All set! Plus you aren't wasting power by leaving your computer on all night

PS: I recommend Massive Attack - Future Proof. The slow start is pretty much perfect.
