Clay Shirky: Institutions vs. collaboration
Monday, July 14, 2008
This is a rather interesting talk that takes some very foundational ideas from open source software development, P2P networks, and social networking and implies that these paradigms can apply to a lot more.
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Misc ScriptsInsert Code...
A simple BASH script that dynamically inserts headers such at copyright information and disclaimers in source files.
1) Inserts a header file into all files with the given extension.
2) Does so recursively.
3) Won't insert it if the header already exists.
4) Variables in the format %VARIABLE% are replaced in the header.
4-1) Replaces predefined variables in the header:
FILENAME (just file name)
FILEPATH (full file path)
TIME (06:11:43 PM)
DATE (2005-03-04)
4-2) Replaces user defined variables in the header. This includes
anything defined on the command line as an option in the
format --VARIABLE=VALUE and evaluates %VARIABLE% to VALUE in the
header.
