Visualized Git best practices for team: branch, merge, rebase

discovered by mathieulegrand

For the past few weeks, a few of my friends got started using git and github for their projects, some started afresh, some came from SVN background. Despite knowing all the basic commands (push, pull, checkout, merge) they found themselves confused in actually putting those together to best work for their teams.

The link below lets you use @lensco's Simple Responsive Design Test Page on any page, by clicking the bookmarklet. It lets you see how a page looks within different screen sizes. Very cool and simple idea. The bookmarklet lets you run it on any page (regardless of filename) and saves you the step of having to add the test page to each folder. (Only tested in FF + Chrome, I confess).

Steve Jobs personally asked Eric Schmidt to stop poaching employees, and other unredacted statements in a Silicon Valley scandal
www.theverge.com –
discovered by conorwade

Last week, we got our first glimpse at the (heavily redacted) evidence behind a Silicon Valley scandal dating back to 2005 — Apple, Google, Adobe, Intel, Intuit and other tech firms, it was revealed, had agreements not to poach one another's employees. Technically, the Department of Justice settled an antitrust lawsuit in 2010, but employees who claim they were injured by the arrangement are still fighting for more, with a proposed class-action lawsuit that's having its day in court this month. Today, we obtained an unredacted court document that reveals just how deep the proverbial rabbit hole goes... and how it personally involved Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt and other prominent executives. Here's what we learned.

Bricss - Simple responsive design test page

discovered by prusso
today
There are some pretty complex testing tools for responsive designs out there. I even see people constantly resizing their browser window using on-screen rulers. The easiest approach to me is just a simple page with a bunch of iframes, like Matt Kersley’s test page. Because I always ended up refreshing the whole page rather than the URL bar on that page, I saved the file locally and tweaked it a little.

Journal of Statistical Software — Show

discovered by mathieulegrand

We present a new computing environment for authoring mixed natural and computer language documents. In this environment a single hierarchically-organized plain text source file may contain a variety of elements such as code in arbitrary programming languages, raw data, links to external resources, project management data, working notes, and text for publication. Code fragments may be executed in situ with graphical, numerical and textual output captured or linked in the file. Export to LATEX, HTML, LATEX beamer, DocBook and other formats permits working reports, presentations and manuscripts for publication to be generated from the file. In addition, functioning pure code files can be automatically extracted from the file. This environment is implemented as an extension to the Emacs text editor and provides a rich set of features for authoring both prose and code, as well as sophisticated project management capabilities.

What Is IAM? - AWS Identity and Access Management
AWS Identity and Access Management is a web service that enables Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers to manage users and user permissions in AWS. The service is targeted at organizations with multiple users or systems that use AWS products such as Amazon EC2, Amazon SimpleDB, and the AWS Management Console. With IAM, you can centrally manage users, security credentials such as access keys, and permissions that control which AWS resources users can access.

So long story short, we can run custom code on the Kindle Touch now but because the operating system has changed so much from Kindle 3, most Kindle modifications will not run without changes. I hope developers will jump to this device now that it’s unlocked. See the bottom of the post for download links. The directions for using are in the readme. Keep reading for technical details on how this came about.

Fixing Student Loans: Let’s Give Colleges Some ‘Skin in the Game’ — The American Magazine
www.american.com –
discovered by johnclaus
today
There are provocative parallels between student loans and the mortgages that created the disastrous housing bubble. In both cases, the government promoted plausible goals— higher education and home ownership—to excess, through the overexpansion of debt to levels beyond the repayment ability of a large percentage of borrowers. In both cases, the government guaranteed much of the credit, putting the ultimate risk of bad debts on taxpayers. In both cases, debt expansion drove the price of the object being financed (colleges and houses) to heights sustainable only if debt could always be increasing. In mortgages, it could not, and the subsequent collapse raises the question: will there be a similar outcome with student loans?
