Can you try to give more details than snark? What particular experience has left you so scarred? I have never had a problem doing Wikipedia edits for stuff I found inaccurate or needed more details. I didn't always go back to check but

That's not entirely true. libc++ works on Linux too. In fact, Google's PNaCl has experimental libc++ support that's completely cross-platform.

Is it only me or it's not easy to discover what's new / changed / release notes from this page? Is there a secret link I'm missing?

I don't think many real servers have 4 GB these days. The dev box under my desk has 32. Linux servers often have 1 TB of physical memory. So based on your calculation that's 256 million threads. Sounds enough :)

The website is absolutely atrocious :-/ 90% ads, incredibly inconvenient navigation. DrDobbs keep living in the 90s.

What walled garden, could you elaborate? Dart is an open-source project and compiles to JS. Not unlike CoffeeScript or TypeScript. The cool thing that makes me excited about dart2js is that Dart is a much better language than JS itself (not

So as far as MS is concerned, .NET/C# is still the officially sanctioned way to develop apps for their new "tablet-age" Windows 8+? [not desktop apps]

Wasn't there a notice a while ago that MS is dropping .NET in favor of HTML5 for its new OSes? Or has this decision been reversed at some point?

If you believe it, maybe it will happen! [isn't that called "delusional"?]

<3 Amazon and this service, but out of dozens of purchased paper books, it only shows 4 as eligible. What's up with that?

What I actually meant by suspicious is that it's uniformly low across many categories which at first sight look unrelated (e.g. cancer and firearms)

Is it only me, or is California suspiciously low in almost every single category? Why would that be?

That's a sad reality in hardware that's not standards compliant, so only specific tuned-for-Windows/OSX drivers work. FWIW, there are decent drivers for HP OfficeJet wireless printers, and printing "just works" from

Genuinely curious: when you want a "cross-browser extension", why wouldn't a web-app do? Isn't an extension specifically something that requires non-standard browser APIs and hence can't be made part of a website?

You mean, $100-200 items (of which most kids have one or three during their childhood) are outselling $10,000 items (though more like $30,000 in Europe)?

Hmm, I want to compile huge open source projects quickly. For this I need as many cores as possible at a reasonable price, a lot of memory and an SSD. So it's time to upgrade :)

What are "actual results" for Southwest though? To me it seems like links to check-in, flight status, schedules and customer services is exactly what I'd want to see there. Is the image what you find distracting? But doesn&#x

I'm always confused by these articles. If the issue was really so serious, wouldn't governments be concerned by it at this point? What does it mean that they aren't, in fact, concerned? Does it mean that the amount of people

Good for them. This and the other similar change they did recently ("add on items" for Prime so that you don't end up ordering $1.5 items with free 2-day shipping) makes me believe Amazon will be more profitable and survive i

Python 3.4 is one of the most feature-packed releases I recall. Besides the obvious new perks like enums and asyncio, note some hidden gems like PEP 442: " This PEP removes the current limitations and quirks of object finalization. Wit

Any hope for some of these to be running Ubuntu pre-loaded? Potentially they can be cheaper due to lack of Windows licensing. The only alternative today is Chrome OS (and there are quite a few new ones released already) and Windows 8 (oh th

Aren't you conflating base with total comp here? $150/hour consulting is $300K at 2,000 hours / year. But if that's $300K base for your friends, then the total is likely way above $500K (bonuses, stocks...) He did say
