- Tale of Two Pwnies (Chromium Blog) -- So, how does one get full remote code execution in Chrome? In the case of Pinkie Pie’s exploit, it took a chain of six different bugs in order to successfully break out of the Chrome sandbox. Lest you think all attacks come from mouth-breathing script kiddies, this is how the pros do it. (via Bryan O'Sullivan)
- The Future is Specific (Chris Granger) -- In traditional web-MVC, the code necessary to serve a single route is spread across many files in many different folders. In a normal editor this means you need to do a lot of context switching to get a sense for everything going on. Instead, this mode replaces the file picker with a route picker, as routes seem like the best logical unit for a website. There's a revolution coming in web dev tools: we've had the programmer adapting to the frameworks with little but textual assistance from the IDE. I am loving this flood of creativity because it has the promise to reduce bugs and increase the speed by which we generate good code.
- Best Online Editors For Teaching HTML/CSS/JS (Pamela Fox) -- Over the past few months, I've been teaching in-person classes on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as part of GirlDevelopIt San Francisco. Along the way, I've experimented with various online consoles and editors, and I thought I'd share my experience with using them for teaching.
- Makie -- design a doll online, they'll 3d-print and ship it to you. Hello, future of manufacturing, fancy seeing you in a dollhouse!

I'm trying to walk the line between obsessive tracking and an open ended approach to motivation.

The judge presiding over the Oracle/Google case learned Java, and that skill came in handy when coding specifics arose during the trial. It's proof that coding is a part of cultural competence, even if you never do it professionally.

So, here we are with all of this disruptive big data technology, but we seem to have lost the institutional wherewithal to do anything with it in a lot of large companies, at least until package solutions come along.
