I have made an attempt at a more accurate translation: """ I bow to the ground before you and wish you in the name of the Lord good health, above all salvation and well-being, and may God save the fatherly Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Chur

You're very welcome. Inspiring someone to become more healthy is probably the most rewarding inspiration there is.

You would think that at Hacker News, car analogies would not be necessary, since I imagine there is a large proportion of users like myself who have no interest in cars, and have never owned nor intend to own one. I have no idea how a Ponti

I couldn't agree more with the sentiment that Lightroom doesn't feel like an Adobe product because it just works so well (barring speed issues that crop up on some machines). The purchase process for Lightroom 3 a year or two ago, however,

While I agree with your point, a part of me can't help but wonder about the possibilities that would open up if we had the capacity to extract enough semantic information from a photo: If I'm looking at my old holiday snaps and reliving the

Yup, the fault lies entirely with the carriers. Also in Australia, bought my GNex from Optus in December, shipped with 4.0.1, bumped to 4.0.2 a month or two later, nothing since.

The main point raised by the article is spot-on, and I'm ashamed to say that I had never recognised it as an issue before reading it. It applies even more strongly for more complex lookups (possibly involving Q objects), which I've always f

I too took the XeTeX path (see links below), mostly because of the way it can take advantage of the font variants provided by professional typefaces, and because using Modern, as beautiful as it is, feels a bit tacky on a résumé. My approac

On a much smaller scale, this has already been done. Tupac's posthumous "Loyal to the Game" album produced by Eminem had a number of lyrical phrases constructed out of phonemes. There was a small amount of outrage at the time of its release

In a fuller context: if(p_wn=='hy'){if(wn==1)pwn='1-ին շաբաթ';else pwn=wn+'-րդ շաբաթ'} So if the locale is "hy" (Armenian), and the week number is one, set the string to "1st week", else set the string to "#th week" (both in Armeni

Given Apple's usual attention to detail, I was surprised to find missing Unicode characters in the font used to render city names (the missing character here is "ə"): http://i.imgur.com/pFZ5s.png

> There's mandatory Internet censorship in Australia, in a sense that it's funded by the government and users have no choice except to leave. This is simply not true. There are two ISPs: Telstra and Optus, who voluntarily block websites

I's sorry, what? Can you please provide some examples of developments in Australia that in any way match what the parent was describing? Or have you been misled to believe that our Internet is filtered in any way? Australia has the sanest p

I've always disagreed with the whole "leans forward/backward" logic. I feel that a slash is a character that you draw by moving your pen _forward_ along the page, while a backslash is drawn by moving your pen _backward_. I guess the added p

Absolutely. In fact, Starting Strength was the next book I picked up after the 4-Hour Body, and it was immensely useful and motivating. If I could still edit my comment to mention Starting Strength, I would.

"The 4-Hour Body", by Tim Ferriss. Because of that book, within 3 months I went from running completely out of breath after 2 minutes of running, to finishing a half-marathon in 2 hours. And during the prior 3 months, I had lost 15 kilos by

Ah, that makes more sense. It was very difficult to infer that meaning from your original post. My apologies.

That has no relevance to the article at all. They're announcing that Firefox 10, when released, will have extended support. Also, Firefox 3.6 was released about 2 years ago. The extended support period for Firefox 10 will only be "about a y

I'm unable to view the article; on Firefox, it never loads, and on Chrome, there are two scrollbars, but none of them actually scroll, so I can't get past the first page. Anyone care to provide a working copy?

No, CPython is implemented in C. Python has been implemented in many languages, including C# (IronPython), Java (Jython) and in Python itself (PyPy). The latter, I might add, is maturing incredibly rapidly.

If you have SSH access, and Python is installed on the system, you don't need root to install Django. The best approach is via pip/virtualenv, but as a last resort, you can just upload the django source folder in the same directory as your

What I don't understand is why employees working in such conditions don't unionise. I've asked around my circle of game development friends, some of whom had worked at Team Bondi, and none were able to give a coherent answer. It's as if the

Australian currency, which is made of the same polymer and has transparent windows as well, seems to handle it just fine. No matter how strongly I bend and abuse it at the window, it doesn't lose transparency.
