They are working towards that, but it's a fair amount of work for a codebase that's more than a decade old. (Their codename for this is Electrolysis, or e10s; mobile Firefox already has it, IIRC.)

Ha, thanks for linking this. If any of you have any questions (or remarks on how to improve the chapter!), please let me know.

Rotterdam, NL (fulltime) KenTyde - http://kentyde.com/ (come help us out with that...) We're looking for a 5th employee, with tech skills. We work with Python, CouchDB, ZeroMQ, Redis and a bunch of other cool open source stuff, building a

It's not that bad. Right now you basically have support for the -76 protocol in release channel Chrome and Firefox 4 or 5, it's nearly trivial to support all of those with a single server. With Firefox 6.0, I had to spend some time to upgra

Hmm, I don't feel the same way (like I'm a single core processor). I'm not from the US, though. I often feel like I've gotten stuck for a bit on a main project, and it'll help me to stay away from it a little bit by working on a challenging

I just hope they will allow the Sensation to be unlocked -- or release a SKU that comes with the ability to unlock it.

You have to sandpaper textured walls first, works fine after that.

Yeah, this isn't really new to anyone who reads the LWN (which is edited by the author of the OP, BTW). The LWN is really very good, and subscribing is worth it for those hackers who care about the larger Linux/POSIX ecosystem.

I don't know, the simple building blocks it provides can be combined in a bunch of ways that are really pretty cool. I think apenwarr would might call it a "simplifying assumption". It's hardly ever the complex things that are game-changing

I started using ZeroMQ at work a few weeks ago after reading the guide. The part that I like about ZeroMQ is that it's a simplifying abstraction, e.g. it's a fairly simple wrapper about sockets that makes life easier for me. I guess it's mo

I hope they will license the patents freely to all open source projects, or something like that, to demonstrate the unevilness.

One of the Dutch news sites I frequent also has qualitatively different forms of upvoting. E.g., you can upvote for humor, upvote for insight, upvote for new information. By applying different metrics to different kinds of comments, it migh

So you have two problems: users need to be able to figure out what are good comments to read, and correspondingly you want users to vote on comments that make good reading. Have you thought at all about discerning between vote value based o

I actually find it much more frightening that many public prosecutors (at least in the US, where they are elected) may not hold that view, but think it'll get them elected.

Does it just do long-polling to receive the data? This seems another app where enabled WebSockets support would have been nice.

I did some research (but not actual programming) to compare Java to Scala, specifically in the area of generics. If you are hoping for some language to make static typing palatable again, Scala is not it: it's so good at static typing that

Move to 2.7 first, which should be fairly easy. From there, moving on to 3.x is much easier.

No, it seems like they want to ship major releases more often and don't want to think hard about what version increment the new release's features merit.

Not sure how startup would be defined. I work at a small company I started with 3 people who have become my friends (okay, one of them already was), I've been working there for 3.5 years. We're still in stealth mode, though.

I'm very much hoping we have something like Emotiv ( http://www.emotiv.com/ ) for text entry by then. (They have one promising competitor, I forget what their name was.)

I really like all of Charlie's books. The Laundry books are definitely different; closer to fantasy in fact, but still nicely in touch with hacker mentality.

I've read The Sparrow countless times, I really love it. As for the sequel, no, it's not as good. Obviously that was to be expected. If you loved The Sparrow, you might still want to read on about Emilio (and one of the others...), but it'l

Might be cleaner to separate headers and contents. I.e. {"h": {"ring": 43723}, "c": {"see": ["5.6.7.8:23456","11.22.33.44:11223"]}}. Get h for headers, c for commands, s for signals and d for data. Gets you a clean separation, no faux names

Seems like an interesting idea. I also wonder why the max contents of a JSON object is 1400 bytes, that seems kind of limiting. UDP can do 65,507b of content...

Well, I think a 36-hour work week is the norm in NL, so it's 4 9-hour days.
