One thing. Currently you only basically have web programming talks in the system. Your site name implies that there would be every talk, not just programming talks.
I would also like to see the talks categorized little bit more better than just Featured, popular, recent, events.
One good thing would be to let users to submit talks into the system, which would free your time from finding talks which actually do not interest you personally.
Terrific idea. Beautiful web design. Awfully executed, because I think you built this for yourself and not for others.
Collect a list of companies which might be interested in your product. Collect their phone numbers and call them and try to sell it to them. Telemarketing skills to work.
I kinda like how easy facebook/twitter makes logging in to new sites, but I find it annoying when they request for permissions they do not really need.
Then again I like when a site allows me to create new account for the site, because this does not share my social data to the site, but the registration process is annoying, because I of course want to use the site right away.
OpenID is pretty cool system, but I do not use it, because I do not use any of the OpenID services like Google anymore.
Never before heard of Mozilla's BrowserID, so can not say much about it.
These days I have been thinking about system where log in form asks for email address and password. Then the client will send this email address to the server and the server will check if the address already exists in the database.
If the email does not exist then the server will reply to the client and the client will send the password to the server and the server will register new account and authenticate the user right away. Then the user can do whatever they need to do on the site.
If the email does exist then the server will reply to the client and the client will send somekind of hash generated to the server to authenticate the user. The hash function will use the user password as the secret key. Once the server receives this hash it will authenticate the account if the email and password were correct.
I think this kind of system would simplify the registration process. If you need the email address verified you can send the verification email on the registration process, but do not require the email to be verified right away, because it's damn annoying to go to your email to click the damn link to verify your email address which usually opens new tab in your browser when you already most likely have the site in open tab.
I find this quote totally wrong "Experienced programmers know that in software, there is no material waste like in carpentry."
There is waste of electricity the more time you waste on writing bad code. This wastes electricity and the materials used to generate it. Even though this is really small and you do not notice it anywhere else except in your electricity invoice.
Another material waste is to build hardware and software can not be used without hardware. Building computer parts does create waste when the parts are created this same happens when you saw a wood plank. Even if you use the plank you cut you have wasted the amount of wood your saw cut out. Basically sawdust is in this case the waste, but I am not certain how much building hardware will create dust, I think it's really minimal, but it's still waste of materials.
I wasted quite a bit of electricity by writing this meaningless post.
I don't see any good use for ondir, because I will use the commands I need when ever I need them, I don't need some command every time I change directory. When I need to run another command at the same time i'll just do the following:
I think the next step for you to move on from web development is to jump to the native application development world.
This can either be mobile development or desktop development. There are many possible languages to use for this. Java is one of the most popular starting languages these days, but I would still suggest learning C or C++.
Failed Execution. Take it down and fix it up. Do at least some testing before launching.
The biggest failure is that wrong information is showing up for peoples username. Thing is, if the username does not yet exist in your data set, then query it before showing someone else's profile.
Popularity does not show how good software developer is, we are not celebrities, some of us are not even bloggers. Some of us do not actively participate on open source, even if we have few repositories in Github. Though we still might be looking for work.
I plan to work until my death. Will keep writing code rest of my life. Once I'm around 70-80 I think i'm going to focus on writing artificial intelligence with memories of mine programmed into it, so the artificial intelligence actually will think that it's me.
I'm not the biggest linux geek, so i'm not that familiar with writing udev rules, so it was easier for me just writing the script with c. Though should looking into writing udev rules. :)
The HD is fully encrypted and the system does not only check if a file exists, but if the file in the SD card contains specific key, which is not stored in the system, but it's my own encryption implementation for the key so I'm not certain how secure it is.
a) Yes they can.
b) Of course they can do that if the HD is not encrypted or the encryption is broken.
c) Yes they can do that, but why would they do it if they already broke the hard drive encryption? They could just delete the script.
d) Well yes surely they could do this.
Anyway my only goal implementing the SD card shutdown was to secure the system from friends who want to invade my privacy and thief's. Basically I can do auto login to my admin account and if the SD card is not mounted it shut downs.
Basically the SD card contains encrypted key which is required to be mounted while logged into the PC. If I pull the card away the PC will automatically shutdown.
if the SD card is not mounted when the user logs in the system is automatically shutdown too.
Basically the SD card only fights against using the computer. You of course could remove the hard drive and mount it in another computer, but that is why the whole drive is encrypted.
