Links from June 8th

June 8, 2009 / Rafe / 0 Comments
  • Salon: The Learjet repo man. Just an entertaining article.
  • Dahlia Lithwick: Guantanamo is the least of America’s prison problem. “The United States, with 5 percent of the world’s population, houses nearly 25 percent of the world’s prisoners.”
  • Marginal Revolution: Why U.S. health care policy is especially egalitarian. Guaranteed to undermine at least one thing you believe to be true.
  • crontab2english. Stop trying to wrap your brain around cron configuration.
  • McClatchy: Why’d Obama switch on detainee photos? Maliki went ballistic. Make of this what you will.
  • MySQL Performance Blog: A rule of thumb for choosing column order in indexes. Helpful.
  • Ruby Best Practices: Reading Ruby’s Standard Library for Fun and Profit. Solid article on reading code.
  • WoW Insider: Beware of Blood Elves selling mounts. A complex phishing and identity theft scam in World of Warcraft. They used to say that all Web innovations begin on porn sites. I think you can look to World of Warcraft to see tomorrow’s fraud today.
  • Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Introducing Page Speed. Google’s version of YSlow.
  • O’Reilly Radar: TOSBack: EFF’s Much-Needed Terms of Service Tracker. Tracking changes to the terms of service from popular sites.
  • Elder Game: Yes, the MMO Industry Really is That Bad. Cautionary tale on working in the MMO industry.
  • Monica Youn: Why Sonia Sotomayor was talking about race in the first place. Useful context for the "wise Latina" speech.
  • YouTube: R.E.M. 10/10/82 The Pier, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Old footage someone dug up. For more information on the Village Subway, see this excellent post from Goodnight, Raleigh.
  • High Performance Web Sites: Using Iframes Sparingly. The performance of iframes is really bad.
  • O’Reilly Radar: Google Squared is an Exponential Improvement in Search. Particularly interesting in light of the recent release of Wolfram Alpha.
