Beyond pushState — building single page applications — Joys of JavaScript — Medium

Granted, many civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other such wars were killed by our enemies rather than by us. But that’s part of the equation. One reason to prefer drones is that when you send troops, fighting breaks out, and the longer the fighting goes on, the more innocent people die. Drones are like laparoscopic surgery: They minimize the entry wound and the risk of infection."

From pinboard.in/deusx: "January has been a very bad month for Ruby on Rails developers, with two high-severity security bugs permitting remote code execution found in the framework and a separate-but-related compromise on rubygems.org, a community resource which virtually all Ruby on Rails developers sit downstream of. Many startups use Ruby on Rails. Other startups don’t but, like the Rails community, may one day find themselves asking What Do We Do When Apocalyptically Bad Things Happen On Our Framework of Choice? I thought I’d explain that for the general community."

ReadWrite – 6 Signs Yahoo May Actually Get It (Finally)

http://readwrite.com/2013/01/25/yahoo-comeback
From pinboard.in/deusx: "The most underrated thing that bodes well for Yahoo is that we're rooting for it. Tired of Apple, Google and Facebook duking it out, many people want to see Yahoo make a comeback. It's an era of deep distrust of big companies commanding big data for big money, but Yahoo has been down for so long there's an undercurrent of Web users who inexplicably want to see it get back up.

Brave teen defends Central Michigan University rape victim from crazed attacker by hiding her in his bathroom, wielding hunting knife as sex fiend tried to break into his home - NY Daily News

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/rape-suspect-posts-facebook-moments-shot-dead-article-1.1243611
Holy shit. Teen hides escaped rape victim kidnapped from the SAC at Central Michigan in his house, while the attacker rages outside and starts to set the place on fire. When the cops come, the attacker flees, rams a cop car with his SUV, then steals a sanitation truck and rams another cop. And at some point before police catch up with and shoot him, the rapist managed to post a Facebook update, "Well folks, I’m about to get to get shot. Peace"

It is inconsiderate to download lots of files on shared wifi or to spider Wikipedia too quickly, but none of these actions should lead to a young person being hounded for years and haunted by the possibility of a 35 year sentence."

From the Editor

http://roastmagazine.com/currentissue/page192/fromthepublisher.html
Holy cow, that's a crazy insane markup on coffee pods: "In a 2012 article, New York Times coffee writer Oliver Strand calculated that Nespresso capsules are loaded with 5 grams of coffee each—which adds up to roughly $51 per pound of coffee. At press time, Stumptown Coffee Roasters was offering a 12-ounce bag of Panama Esmeralda Especial Peaberry for $45 (or $60 per pound)." And Panama Esmeralda Especial Peaberry is like the nirvana of the coffee world at $60 a pound. Not like the decent and drinkable $7 a pound Target coffee beans.

Standing all day isn't 100% better, but this is why I have a standing desk now and a tall stool for occasional resting. Much easier than a sitting desk and remembering to occasionally stand - my legs naturally tell me when to take a break. Think I've lost about 15 lbs doing this, too, and my legs are in great shape

So Long, Launchpads: Pentagon Wants Jets to Send Sats Into Orbit | Danger Room | Wired.com

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/11/darpa-satellite-launchers
The technology to launch an orbiter from the sky, rather than the ground, already exists. The Pegasus rocket launcher, for example, has performed over 40 aerial launches: A carrier aircraft flies the rocket up, and then fires it off — satellite included — into the stratosphere. But to refine that system, then strip it of human personnel, is a tall order — the launching system would need to be entirely self-sufficient. Indeed, Darpa notes that ALASA is looking for a launcher requiring “no recurring maintenance or support, and no specific integration to prepare for launch.”

Harness the Mental, Creative, and Emotional Benefits of Regular Writing

http://lifehacker.com/5855019/how-to-harness-the-mental-and-emotional-benefits-of-regular-writing
Since writing also makes you take those ideas out of your head and put them into real words, it also challenges you to think about how you can communicate those ideas to others in a way that makes sense. You'll have to turn your abstract ideas into something that's concrete and understandable by others, and it'll challenge you to grow and develop the language and communications skills required to get those ideas across. Even if you deal in facts and figures, creative writing can help you learn to communicate complex ideas more effectively.

The DRM graveyard: A brief history of digital rights management in music | opensource.com

http://opensource.com/life/11/11/drm-graveyard-brief-history-digital-rights-management-music
There are more than a few reasons digital rights management (DRM) has been largely unsuccessful. But the easiest way to explain to a consumer why DRM doesn't work is to put it in terms he understands: "What happens to the music you paid for if that company changes its mind?" It was one thing when it was a theoretical question. Now it's a historical one. Rhapsody just had the next in a line of DRM music services to go--this week the company told its users than anyone with RAX files has unil November 7 to back them up in another format or lose them the next time they upgrade their systems.
