Exploring Space

The BBC has created a monster infographic illustrating “every attempt to leave Earth’s orbit and reach a destination in extraterrestrial space – be it with probes, orbiters, rovers, or of course manned missions.”

The graphic shows successful and failed missions, country of launch origin and type of mission (eg., fly-by, rover, actual landing).

mlettini:

In Death To Bullshit, Brad Frost literally touches on every annoyance that’s been circling in my head for years now. Bullshit and noise are everywhere, and we’re all to blame.

I remember an annual company meeting years ago at a job I did not care for. The entire time I jotted down every jargon and bullshit phrase the CEO said in his hour long talk… I needed two pages.

I recently had a blog post in mind titled “Why I Sign Everything I Write With ML”. The idea was very similar to what Brad is saying. Not every blog post I write needs to change the world, but what I do contribute should be worth saying to somebody.

Creating content is a responsibility, and I take responsibility for all my content. If you create anything in this world, be it woodworking or advertising or words on a blog, learn the idea of craftsmanship.

CodeIgniter 2.0 + AJAX Requests

Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:31:00 -0400

Just discovered an issue while trying to post data to a controller via Ajax. If you have CSRF protection enabled in your config.php, the Security class will check for the CSRF token to verify credentials.

A quick and easy solution is to turn off CSRF protection in your config.php by checking the REQUEST_URI like so:

if(stripos($_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”],’/controller’) === FALSE){
$config[‘csrf_protection’] = TRUE;
} else {
$config[‘csrf_protection’] = FALSE;
}

life:

In 1960, LIFE magazine assigned Eve Arnold, who died in January 2012 at the age of 99, to document the days and nights of Malcolm X, the controversial and intensely charismatic public face of the Nation of Islam.

On the anniversary of his death, we revisit her set of photos that surprisingly enough never made it into the magazine. (well, ours at least)

“Flagging a message for later reading creates the same fake sense of accomplishment as putting an item on a to-do list - you give yourself permission to never think about it again.”
