When future-you wishes present-you had done the thing. So in a sense there is a you (future-you) that actually does want to do the thing.

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 impressed, and I'm sure preferable to credit card charge backs.

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 for you, but mostly I'd recommend the process of assembling information in a concise way as a good way to learn.

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. Conversely, the "domain model"-approach commonly used probably gains some of its attraction due to the similarities to E/R database diagrams, but far from always lead to designs which are actually useful in practice.

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 helpful.

"-So, where are you taking Facebook at this point? Are you going to expand to those other schools that you're not at? And then, what?"

"-I mean, there doesn't necessarily have to be more. Like, a lot of people are focused on taking over the world ... part of making a difference and making something cool is focusing intensely."

Whoa. Sean Parker really changed him. Joking aside, I wonder at what point MZ started to considering taking over the world for real.

Anyone know why an OS X release is not on the list?

As a computer scientist, one wonders what kind of randomness? Is the date picked uniformly at random, or is there a bias involved (for example, a negative bias towards the coming days)?

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 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0.
