DeadUpdate: Kickin' it bigtime.

... my first disclosure. Man, it feels weird doing this.

update 6/6/16 I would like to stress something: I'm not saying "Don't buy an ASUS device" -- I see a lot of people who want to lambaste ASUS for this and boycott their hardware. This isn't what I want people to be doing by any stretch. Stupidly, I like the ASUS hardware I have (it's nice for the price) and I would rather see a pressure on ASUS as an OEM to stop shipping "value added software" to consumers; If you want to help Microsoft in pushing this mentality, go buy a signature machine from them. Microsoft provides support, but also only ships windows and a few select utilities that are essential to the functioning of the system (think: Radeon/Optimus and nVidia control panels) and fall heavily on the hardware makers (ATI, nVidia, Intel) to provide support for the harware.

Consider an ASUS device all you want. Start putting pressure on Microsoft that consumers want bloat-free devices and start voting with your money. Microsoft's store

How to simulate network failures using socat proxies
  • ./port-proxy-prepare.sh to create PID directory for running proxy
  • ./sample-google-proxy.sh start to start listening 8443 and proxying traffic to google
  • Configure client application to perform requests to localhost:8443 instead of www.google.com:443
  • ./sample-google-proxy.sh stop to simulate situation when google is down
  • Do client testing
  • ./sample-google-proxy.sh start to simulate service up again

Rich Hickey on becoming a better developer

Rich Hickey • 3 years ago

Sorry, I have to disagree with the entire premise here.

A wide variety of experiences might lead to well-roundedness, but not to greatness, nor even goodness. By constantly switching from one thing to another you are always reaching above your comfort zone, yes, but doing so by resetting your skill and knowledge level to zero.

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:

A shim for non ES5 supporting browsers.
Adds function bind to Function prototype, so that you can do partial application.
Works even with the nasty thing, where the first word is the opposite of extranet, the second one is the profession of Columbus, and the version number is 9, flipped 180 degrees.

Created February 10, 2010 16:24
a Mersenne Twister implementation in javascript. Makes up for Math.random() not letting you specify a seed value.
/*
I've wrapped Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura's code in a namespace
so it's better encapsulated. Now you can have multiple random number generators
and they won't stomp all over eachother's state.
If you want to use this as a substitute for Math.random(), use the random()
method like so:
var m = new MersenneTwister();
