They are a bit pricy, but the real issue here is the battery life. I believe most people would like to have more than 4-6 hours on their 15" laptop.

I believe you can email github and ask for a certain user name and they'll give it to you if it has no or very little activity. For instance, Ken Thompson joined github a little while ago and he got the user name 'ken'. Don&#

I'm not surprised. As is well known, Microsoft deliberately removed the encryption from Skype, making it just another insecure platform for communicating and vulnerable to censorship.

It is a fact that the internet - designed to be de-centralised - is becoming more and more centralised, evolving around service providers. > Almost all of our communication protocols and technologies are built on trust on those who run v

This is great news. We need more powerful voices like these to really be heard. Remember Wikipedia's blackout against SOPA!

I applaud you. This must be the best hack I've seen so far.

Seriously, you need to learn how to use your editor.

As long as you are consistent , that's all that matters.

I sense dark sarcasm hidden in this message.

I think you missed the overall point of the author, which was that in order make a significant improvement at all, you need to make a radical shift in the modelling of the system. One of the problems mentioned was the inherent complexity of

I agree. The document is visually bad designed. Can't read it. Someone toss the author some LaTeX?

Agreed. An impressive piece of transparent encryption technology is Apple's Filevault system, which on-the-fly encrypts and decrypts your files when you save them and open them. Users don't need to know it exists at all, it just w

This is good work! I seriously _need_ to see the source code. Always wanted to make an OS in a high level language.

I had this assignment too. It seems that writing a shell in a low level language is great for learning multiple important topics in one project: memory management, input/output to terminal, string parsing and process management. Once y

Jesus. Just how incompetent were the people behind this OS?

This video is very interesting. Very good point about the manufacturing of processors being backwards. Why _not_ put an interpreter inside the L1 cache that accomodates higher level programming of the computer? Why are we still stuck with a

I don't see how rating libraries and frameworks would work. You use a library, depending on if it solves your problem or not. Some libraries solves your problem but might not solve others. And that's fine. That's why there ar

This video is pretty useless. Randomly clicking on settings icons on one computer with Tiger and then another with Yosemite is a poor method for comparing UI performance. Does the two computers even have the same hardware and configuration?

Am I supposed to feel sorry for the intelligence agencies, now that they can't monitor everyone so easily anymore? Poor guys. Yes, criminals also read the news and they will use the information from the Snowden-leaks for all its worth.

Nice! Never occurred to me to compile ClojureScript itself.

Awesome! Works fine here.

Yes, I'd say Haskell and ML are mainstream languages by now.

"C has the fastest development interactivity of any mainstream statically typed language." This is not true. Using debuggers and crash dumps to reason about your running program is not fast or interactive at all. It doesn't m

This might have been a good read, but then my eyes would have bled out after reading pages of bold, white text on black backgrounds.

Hilarious! [...] Unix and C suck. C is little more than structured assembler. Ever wonder why "bus error core dump" is the standard C program crap out? Because C freely hands out random pointers to anyone that asks. Slut. [...]
