That's ok until Google infects a current search with a previous search as it seemed to do for me the other day. In some cases that might help, and although they were in the same domain I was actually looking for something else. Maybe it was

I mean the motherboard combinations were ATI. Even Nvidia is not acceptable to me anymore, there is just no reason for a driver to be closed source.

There are so many times I've considered an AMD CPU and just decided against it because the on-board GPU is radeon (I am not a gamer). Intel's GMA integrated graphics are not powerful but they are awesome, totally seamless install.

The readability point is key, will anyone ever write an article extolling "the joy of someone else's script whipped up Perl"? Red Hat and Ubuntu both use Python more than Perl when they want something over and above Bash.

I never trust anyone who uses the designation "scripting language" let alone those who use it with a capital 'S '. There is absolutely no formal definition of this and it's been repeatedly picked apart such that I don't even have to do it

Wouldn't you expect an exploit to be written in a low level/system level language on the very platform(and associated tool-chain) it is targeting?

>Go tries to be as expressive as Python and run as fast as Java Why the seemingly almost complete lack of love for Pypy from Google then? It's not like you can stop using Python anytime soon even if you keep extending Go. I believe Goog

An excellent point, if somewhat weakened by the behavior of the banks as of late.

Don't forget to add the $50k per capita share of the national debt, or the more uplifting calculation of $90k per actual tax-paying worker. So that person is working towards $255k of unavoidable debt on $36k a year before they can even star

I am just describing the situation as bleak, I am not saying they should retire and put even more pressure than they are going to on social security. In an ideal world these people would slip down a rung (just one, not to the bottom) and in

As I see it the baby boomers, rightfully worried about their retirement, are going to camp out in most top positions longer than we expected or was normal in the past. This will inhibit upward mobility of younger people for quite some time

I am not sure about now, but another point is that when Python 3 was released it was slower as well, so there was hardly a reason to swap for very minor changes and no libraries. Python 3 should have been something radical like PyPy or larg

Interestingly I heard that the Java people at Google rail against using Python for large projects because they supposedly get out of hand..

Exactly, would Gabriel have been able to start DDG without the money from selling NamesDatabase (or other private money)? I think a lot of these guys who have "made it" forget how difficult resources can be for the rest of us, especially wh

With roads and poor signage the citizens tend to "optimize" the Government (vote them out) if they fail to do a reasonable job on those issues given how much tax they swallow up on them. And with manufacturing defects the common law provide

People should stop complaining about Slashdot and marketing and look at the Hyperdex paper, it's quite interesting ( http://hyperdex.org/papers/hyperdex.pdf ). It also has quite an elegant python API ( http://hyperdex.org/tutorial/ ).

I think this is the essential point, the smaller ones often have no data points either way regarding security. That said, there are some great cheap ones http://www.lowendbox.com/

I think a distributed .alt where people can have a "backup" of their domain would be nice. gun.io with gun.io.alt running concurrently on the distributed system. It would be a nice reference to the alt.* Usenet split in response to attempts

To be honest, I'd prefer Amazon to use Bootstrap with a yellow branded bar at the top, ditto Facebook (with FB blue). Ditto for any flight search website. Anything that's an "application". With blogs however, I don't want to see it resembli

On android my browser refuses to go to the link without logging in and the G+ app says it can't handle the link (what is G+ for then?). This along with YouTube and sometimes Google groups demanding logging in is getting too much for me. I'

I think the effort of tracking down and installing all those browser versions would take quite some time. There are plenty of people with an hourly rate that when multiplied by all those hours of work (4+?) will exceed $250, let alone the c

But they don't share anything of worth to my mind. I like most HN links that make the front page but I've yet to find a 37 Signals post that's really anything but smoke and mirrors designed to indirectly praise themselves. Someone made th

This looks quite interesting. Even more interesting to see it come from a company that's done as much to damage the web and offend the notion of UI as Scribd. I personally will never forgive Scribd for encouraging people to post documents w

I have to say that I'm not taken with the whole "share your startup idea, tell everyone who will listen" for the reasons outlined in this article. My main project, if it succeeds, will be a lifestyle business. As I have a job I can't execut

At least, by making it a for-pay service, the likelihood of Google just shutting it down in the middle of the night is lessened (although still present). However, anyone competent enough to be passing data to an API can pass data to one of

The record of vastly overstated and false claims of innovation around Apple has become ridiculous. Nobody doubts they have innovated in many areas, but largely they are excellent at integration and polish (which is worthy of praise in its o
