getsat··on Meteor is now MIT licensed
http://www.itworld.com/it-managementstrategy/233753/gpl-copy...

Permissive licenses are just fine (arguably, better).

getsat··on Hacker News Redesign
I find the number of comments are a better indicator of how interesting an article is than the number of points. I don't even look at the point values.
getsat··on Quote Stream - Push real-time stock quotes in JSON over web-sockets with node.js
I was referring to scraping Google/Yahoo. They have disclaimers on their sites that the information is N minutes old at best.

EDIT: I guess a few of them are actually realtime now. Here's the list: http://www.google.com/intl/en/googlefinance/disclaimer/

getsat··on Quote Stream - Push real-time stock quotes in JSON over web-sockets with node.js
That data is also 15 minutes old (or older!) from what I recall. Probably not your best choice for anything remotely "realtime".

As parent said, you're better off getting a real market stream which will probably use FIX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Information_eXchange

getsat··on Raspberry Pi: An update for element14/Premier Farnell/Newark customers
You'll see this same behavior anywhere demand greatly exceeds supply. I know I'll never see a Raspberry Pi in real life because they refuse to meet demand for whatever reason, so it doesn't really bother me.
getsat··on Light Table Is On Kickstarter
>implying cross-platform gui toolkits don't exist
getsat··on The 501 Developer Manifesto
Indeed. There are streamers on twitch.tv who make $500+/day playing video games.
getsat··on Lessons Learned Upgrading Harvest to Ruby 1.9.3
There's also this for even better performance: https://gist.github.com/2113359

Don't forget to set your envvars!

getsat··on Show HN: Rails One Click Installer for Mac Os X
There's this gist which combines all the patches and has you install a 1.9.3-p125-perf via rbenv: https://gist.github.com/2113359

Been using it at work for local dev and in production. Feels good, man.

getsat··on Show HN: Rails One Click Installer for Mac Os X
This is correct, but replace 1.9.2-p290 with 1.9.3-p125.
getsat··on Meteor meets NoGPL
Are they GPL, or AGPL? The AGPL removes the so-called "network service loophole". Unsurprisingly, few projects use it.
getsat··on Next Generation Ruby packages for Ubuntu
You are not even remotely close to being correct.
getsat··on Remote root hole in Samba
Maybe the proverbial "eyes" are on other projects or something?
getsat··on PHP: A fractal of bad design
> it's fast.

People honestly still believe PHP is fast? Wow. Even Ruby (1.9, YARV) is as fast as PHP nowadays, and it's one of the slowest mainstream scripting languages you can use right now...

getsat··on Row in America over gay characters in EA video games
Wow, posting from North Korea. Amazing.

  "No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation with detail."
getsat··on Why I prefer scheme to Haskell
For the record, this was sarcasm. It's 2012. I really hope you guys aren't debugging using printf still.

You'd think someone into esoteric languages would've heard of a debugger.

getsat··on Why I prefer scheme to Haskell
Does F# let you debug using printf? I stopped reading the linked post at that point.
getsat··on Why Reddit switched to Python (2005)
Not officially.

cperciva (HN username), FreeBSD security guy, maintains some AMIs for it: http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-on-ec2/

getsat··on Are you a student in the US? Get a free Windows Phone
This does look a little bizarre...

  Random blog claims free phones for students.

  Links to official rules PDF hosted on some PHP dev site.

  You have to register on Facebook to participate.
No indication of Microsoft being involved, yet you're disqualified if you've previously gotten something else through a Microsoft student promotion. What?
getsat··on If We Go One Attempt Every Ten Seconds, We're Under The Radar
Standard response to SSH "bruteforcing" articles: use SPA or port knocking to hide sshd. Use key-based auth and disable passwords/root login. Use the AllowUsers setting to restrict which accounts can login.

getsat··on Stallman: "Facebook is an international parasitism project."
WTF?

Freedom of speech is freedom from censorship by the government. Even that has restrictions, though. You can't incite violence against other people or cause other people to come to harm through your speech (yelling "Fire!" in a theatre being the canonical example).

You're agreeing to Facebook's Terms of Service when you use their site. You are agreeing not to upload that kind of content when you sign up.

getsat··on One hiring filter that works
Yegge's now-famous rant paints a really different picture. https://plus.google.com/112678702228711889851/posts/eVeouesv...
getsat··on Skinny fat founder strips for launch of startup

getsat··on Skinny fat founder strips for launch of startup
If you exercise regularly and you're still gaining weight, your diet is likely the culprit. Most people have no idea just how horrid their diets are.
getsat··on Mozilla: Are We Slim Yet?
That quote is one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this site.
getsat··on Poll: What is your current Stack Overflow reputation?
This poll is missing an option: I don't use SO because it required OpenID to register.

I guess it supports other options now, but back in the day, that's why I never participated.

getsat··on Matz wins the 2011 Free Software Award
... yes? That was my point. They switched from a GPL-like license to a BSD one.
getsat··on Matz wins the 2011 Free Software Award
I wonder what RMS thinks of the fact that Ruby recently switched from a GPL-like license (Ruby License) to BSD.

At any rate, congrats to Matz!

getsat··on 'Anonymous' hackers plan to shut down the Internet this Saturday
Awesome! Thanks for this link.
