I have ASUS UX31A (Core i5 version). Pretty happy with it. Get 6-7 hours with WiFi on.

Sony is a big multinational corporation. As is the case with, say, Microsoft, it is not helpful to appreciate its actions as coming from a single entity.

Sorry, should have clarified that. I was replying to a question on HN about "everyone else", presumably "everyone else on HN."

Looking at the log: thanks for reminding me why I no longer do IRC. All the banhammer dramas, all the time. (This has nothing to do with information leakage or Apple.)

I don't think many people use Adobe Reader these days, and I am not aware of any serious PDF exploits targeting other clients.

Please stop reinventing code execution sandboxes. This has already been solved. Just integrate this with your collaborative editor. http://ideone.com/api

I am pretty sure the comment you are replying to is satire.

Now Apple wasn't the first to offer a 7" tablet, was it?

Why yes, that one's called "hivemind."

I was pretty sure this was the point of the submission. I'd like to see more of this. A fresh interesting take on representing programs, especially welcome as not being served as yet another eclipse plugin or a multi-screen .vimrc.

I could not help but notice one of their Cover feed screenshots showing an advert -- http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v2/yY/r/fNNR8sV8Y3W.png . OK, this one I think I get. Why have full-screen standby ads only on Kindle?

I was clearly expecting a nice and shiny presentation of Linux kernel API (or at least system calls) when clicking on the penguin.

I think you might be missing the point here. You are right that using RAM is preferable to using disk; however, nobody is talking about disks here. Using a lot of RAM is bad because it makes you slow: pretty much everything, from paging to

I think it's called an 'assembler language' because it's the language you use to program your assembler (specifying what to emit into the binary).

I highly recommend the book, and the course, http://www.nand2tetris.org/ (previously known as The Elements of Computing Systems or TECS). This starts with discussion on NAND gates and goes through building CPU components, to a complete co

My beard is rather short as of yet, but I've always read 'su' as an acronym for 'setuid' (because that's what it does).

As great as OPAM might be (neither have I tried it), it has one fundamental downside compared to Go: it is a package manager for OCaml. Package management is one of those things that are better off when there is just one.

See [0] for an introduction to M-expressions, which was initially an alternative syntax for Lisp, but have found its way into APL and Mathematica. Please note I'm suggesting using that syntax for OCaml, not Go. In short, I want to write "f[

I've written a moderate amount of OCaml and some Go. While I agree that the former is a nice language, it doesn't compare favorably to Go as a development suite: the standard library is terribly designed, and the package management is rathe

Indeed, dehumanization appears to be an important issue. The most unusual occurence I had was with VFS Global (visa handling company) employees. Every one of them had a paper sticker with a number on their tie; and all refused to tell me th

If you don't mind having a somewhat larger quadrotor, consider getting something like Attop Intruder [0] and replacing its PCB with a Flymaple-A [1]. At $120 and some soldering, this gives you 18 minutes flight time and >50g payload. Fl

i'm seeing a lot of the good old "ie toolbar" behaviour lately: chrome extensions (typically developed by big portals) get installed with third-party applications without user consent. this looks like a proper (if a bit delayed) measure to

the point is not so much ease of implementation (a parser for a reasonable grammar is usually an insignificant part of a language implementation) as is homoiconicity, and thus easy extensibility. in this regard tcl is similar to lisp and fo

the comments in the gc example are not there because the language this is implemented in is less readable than python; they are there because the problem the code solves is non-trivial and requires documenting. however clean, readable and t

I wonder why SoftMaker doesn't push itself in its home market hard enough. They are at least not worse than Open/LibreOffice. On a different note, it surprises me there doesn't seem to be any effort on a LyX-like editor, probably less tied
