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.

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 im…

The Sandbaggers is amazing; I found it to be more memorable and "realistic" (not that I could know) than le Carré. Also, all episodes are on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?…

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 f…

I believe it's Paper for iPad: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/paper-by-fiftythree/id506003...

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. Co…

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 helpfu…

For me, Xcode 4.1 removed gcc-4.0 (needed by brew for example). If you had Xcode 3.x it's still in /Developer-old, and can be re-added with ln -s /Developer-old/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /us…

Homebrew works, after you run 'brew update' (in case you haven't already, I'm guessing). Initially got erros 'Cannot defer diagnostic messages' for pr, but updated brew seems to be…

If you search for "Lion" it's there. It doesn't seem to be under "Featured" yet.

It's available globally. At least if I'm allowed to extrapolate from {US, UK, Sweden}.

Sorry for the late reply. Here are my details: Mac OS X 10.6.8 all updated / Google Chrome 12.0.742.122 / MacBookAir3,2 / 2.13 GHz / 4GB RAM Would be interesting to know if you hav…

(Repeated) kernel panic on Macbook Air/Chrome I'm afraid.

A guess: some major browser's search bar started to parse "facebook.com" as a domain rather than a search term?

Cool, didn't know about these publications (I'm at the Comlab myself.) Seems like the webpage to sign up for the newsletters (by email!) is http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/industry/public/n…

Here's another one, a simple Applet that lets you apply various classification algorithms on 2D data: http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~rani/LocBoost/

For the record, the Google exec (Berthier Ribeiro-Neto) is the co-author of "Modern Information Retrieval" [1], an excellent book and close to a standard text on IR. [1] http://www…
