So 2 years after the appearance of Gnome Shell someone still doesn't get that Gnome tries to simplify the whole interface and that Gnome has been trying to create a simple interface for the majority of people for many many years. Big news.

The point is that noone should act surprised because the laws already demand that communications can be intercepted and read. Of course that excludes GPG (or pasting encrypted text into your skype chat). And that is only true as long as you

Does IntelliJ and Eclipse really qualify as text editor here? I'd say i'm using a mixture of vim (server side work), Sublime Text (quick text editing) and IntelliJ/PyCharm (coding).

I have reason to believe that you're wrong, because if you're under surveillance by the FBI or whatever, they will be able to read your mail. Unless you're the ultra-paranoid guy there are ways to get to your password physically :( (so, sin

Very strange article. It only re-does what all other news sources already stated.. plus, i think that commonly a backdoor is understood as something in the software itself that let's someone get access from the outside, which doesn't appear

I would have loved to have THIS as the link target, the three short sentences make a big difference, imo.

The difference is that i don't know if this is worthy to invest time and effort or not. Does this have an impact on a wide install base of servers? Apparently some HNers can't reproduce this. So it's not worth my time? I would assume it's j

Can we please stop posts like that without a proper introduction? I'm counting myself as proficient in Linux for many years and all i get is that it's some C code and apparently some 0day. What? I'm certainly not starting to decipher that o

The people who haven't upgraded to Python 3 in their projects are probably mostly people with dependencies on py2.7 libraries. Happened to me in my last project. I started using pypy until some bug in pypy prevented me from using an importa

Well.. that's not to say a rate of 3.2 is a good rate. The U.S. still is far above most western countries, which typically have something like 0.x or even 0.0x homicides per 100.000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firea

I didn't say it's a bad idea, i said it's a matter of fact that software exists that runs in /opt/ and that sometimes there are reasons to do so. For example, a particular usecase is to have a specific mountpoint that holds shared binary an

Because, maybe, but only maybe, there might be software that is not split up into lib, bin, doc directories and that doesn't log into /var/log?! There actually is quite some software like that and sometimes it even has a technical reason. E

I don't know, one of the main usecases seems to be gaming and i really really really can't see how this works out on action based games, because of latency. No way. I can see the usecase for Office, etc. but that's what VNC/RDP/Citrix and a

Strange how 3/4 of the comments are more concerned with the title link, instead of the actual content. Very nice post, was an interesting read!

Am i the only one who had to smile at the sentence "At Parallel Universe we develop complex data structures and distributed data grids, which require a lot of low-level programming, so I do most of my work in Java."? :) Also, i wish they wo

It'd be nice to also have a "lines of code" comparison, because i can see how some benchmarks are at the top but after looking at the code they also tend to be quite "manual".

Well, i hope so. I still don't get the value of twitter, it always seemed to me as overrated. Why 140 characters? External services for photo upload? I still don't get it.. How is [1] better then [2]?! [1] http://www.imagebanana.com/view/o

Absolutely agreed. What he probably means is "good enough to show my holiday pictures to friends on a phone in a bar". Of course it's true, that it's far more important to have photographer skills (find a good motive, angle, frame it right,

And i started using btrfs in 12.04 and reverted back to ext4 in 12.10 because it was awfully slow. Atleast noticable slower then ext3 (or 4, not sure what i had earlier). May have changed today, but yes.. It's not all great and nice for eve

I'd say both documentations are very complete but take a different approach. Very often the python standard library is very self-descriptive and it's just doing what you would expect. If you're in doubt you can always start up bpython and h

It's nothing to do with techno-elitism, it's to do with the fact that, as an engineer, the most important skill you need to have is to know the right tool for the right job. If you only know about a very limited subset, you're doing it wron
