I made something similar except you can practice using any Gist you want. http://newtonapple.github.com/Gistype/#1 It still needs some work on the current cursor movement for longer Gists, but the basic functionality is there. No login required, just type. :) Note that if you have Vimium installed, you'll have to put the URL on your "excluded URLs" list.

I watched some of the videos they are quite good. The data streams lectures are definitely worth a watch: http://alex.smola.org/teaching/berkeley2012/streams.html.

Does anyone know how this actually works? From their website: "Unlike other conversion tracking solutions available to app developers, Tapstream doesn't rely on mobile ad networks, cookies or UDIDs. Instead, we fingerprint your web visitors with our tasty secret sauce to match them up with conversions that you define inside your app." This sounds a little fishy.

I ran into a similar problem with the Google Mobile AdSense animation on iOS Mobile Safari. Basically when you put an absolutely positioned element with higher z-index over the iframed ad, it'll trigger greyscale antialiasing. Here is a demo (see it in Mobile Safari): http://newtonapple.github.com/frontend_tidbits/mobile_safari...

The lectures on data streams are my favorites: http://alex.smola.org/teaching/berkeley2012/streams.html.

Apparently he also rewrote Erlang from scratch to be "more efficient and performant" (private repo): https://github.com/eddiedeck/airlang

I ain't gonna lie. I vomited a little when I first saw the new logo. The pixelated green is seizure inducing. Congrats TechCrunch, you've just topped the Gawker redesign. Keep up the good work.

To be fair the Gawker redesign absolutely ruined the usability. If you don't like the look then ok.

The sample has more than two pages: http://exceptionalruby.com/exceptional-ruby-sample.pdf
