StatCounter sees low usage from China (in page-views). The great firewall certainly plays a role. I wonder if said firewall doesn't also play games with the user-agent header, though. http://gs.statcounter.com/press/open-letter-ms#incorrec

I live in Europe. I was aware of some aspects of US healthcare: expensive overall, a tendency to bankrupt people, failing to prevent easily avoidable harm, it's just that the first item was a statistic to me. 21% of income for someone who h

Interesting analysis. Preserving (2) means that systems that don't handle leap seconds (or don't have a leap seconds table updated in the last six months) have a POSIX time at most 1 second away from systems that do. Dropping (2) would mean

There's a lot more detail than that. The way the lower-class people were paid (prepaid cards!) and how they budgeted were interesting to me; the details and evolution of the healthcare costs in particular were eye-opening. I'd have apprecia

I was really worried at this guy managing to be so poorly educated for the power he has (see: his SuperPAC contributions). I know this was a long time ago and he is old now, but he must have interacted with a lot of poorer people, especiall

Probably the page visibility API: https://developers.google.com/chrome/whitepapers/pagevisibil... Headers wouldn't work, because a prefetch often turns into a page view. Edit: their methodology is public. They use the aforementioned API,

.rc files don't dominate a project in file count or SLOC, so I think the answer to jashkenas' question is something like this: pop[lang] = avg(loc(proj, lang) / loc(proj) for proj in projects)

Didn't our estimated writer predict the death of genre to e-book marketplaces anyway? I've loved his work in the Merchant Princes series (Fantasy/SF/Economics/Steampunk), but also his take on the difficult and rewarding exercise of making

The first option is generally allowed by protocols where spaces are appropriate. Using the other alternatives would get one into the business of defining standards, which no sane person with an appreciation for the subtlety of that task wou

I disagree with that analysis. The Judge asked the jury to decide fair use assuming API copyrightability because he had them at hand, and it was an opportunity to make his eventual ruling more appeal-proof. Finding APIs copyrightable rather

I've only needed one (Twisted, which is actually slightly outside the space occupied by gevent et al). You can't stop people from building more, but feel free to bet on a popular project if you don't want to deal with choice.

If Reed Elsevier went out of business (very unlikely because it doesn't just do academic publishing, it also does publishing in other small but lucrative niches), it would make room for some great open-access journals. The same people and i

It depends. Some countries have laws creating data retention requirements — in some contexts, for some time periods (with mandatory expiration in the EU), with sharing conditional on some purposes (hopefully for reasons relating to serious

I've seen the occasional clueless student tell me they didn't think it was legal for them to upload their own papers (they might have signed some contracts with illegal clauses to that effect for all I know). Counting on the authors to unbr

It is a branch of PyPy (a fast and compliant Python 2.7 interpreter) that behaves as if the GIL was still there — statements are always run atomically, so are the new with atomic blocks — but will actually run multithreaded programs on mu

This deals with performance, but not durability. The system would pump data into swap at a fast rate during a thrashing situation, wearing out the SSD.

Is the FCC likely to let a new entrant in to disrupt the oligopoly? Presumably that's part of their remit as a regulator.

That's trademarks, which so far have been more faithful to their stated goal of preventing consumer confusion, rather than creating new kinds of private property. For example, I don't need Apple's permission to use the trademarked word Appl

The 2011 case featured in the Verge bundles trade dress claims, that have been enforced in the past with a less simple and much more distinctive look, with design patents, which I'm not aware Apple has been able to enforce before. The other

This kind of legal weapon is just emerging, and it's a product of circumstance — patent offices have rubberstamped hundreds of Apple's bevelled rectangles, and Apple recently found a court that would act on it and delay sales. It's a bit ea
