Anecdotally, I had a very strange experience with LinkedIn. I went to stay with my friend in another country for a few days and upon returning home, LinkedIn recommended his father as a connection - despite me never electronically contacting him. The friend I stayed with doesn't have LinkedIn nor have I contacted him over email or similar. My guess is that it must have been location based or because I connected to their WiFi - very weird.

How could they do that? The cat is out of the bag and FB aren't going to have any knowledge about where that data is now. Have there been reports of it getting out from CA?

I think some caution is a good idea, they don't want to get the numbers wrong - although they are making steps in the right direction with the message to 87 million on their news feeds.

People may put all manner of things in private repos that they don't want to be made public, so github shouldn't just expose them to the outside world.

Nice work! I just noticed a bug though, trying to go to the next page of system software that is sorted by votes doesn't work. Instead of going to the next page, the first page is reloaded with /NaN appended to the URL, as such:

I can really recommend this book, I've worked through it and am implementing the interpreter in Rust. I've just finished the latest chapter and am looking forward to the future instalments.
Edit: here is the (WIP) intepreter: https://github.com/HarveyHunt/loxr

The Ci40 boards are headless, so they have no graphics support at all.

Could you provide more details about the Leeds scene please? I've been working here for a few months as a programmer and am interested in getting involved.

In a similar vein to this, /r/itsaunixsystem is worth checking out.

That Dota app looks nice, how long have you been working on it for?
How come you chose django over something such as flask for problemotd?
