Hm. The download link states "Available for Windows and Mac", yet the screenshot on the download page shows it being run in Ubuntu. Is there actually some hidden Linux version and I am just missing something? EDIT: I just realized it says "

A friend of mine actually forked a project that is similar to what you describe. I believe it currently can build most Go projects, with the exception of libraries and Go code that calls C. Here's the link to his fork: http://github.com/ti

First it was in Python, now in C++. The change was for speed reasons, not because they didn't like functional languages. It is simply that functional languages don't quite meet the speed requirement that Google needs. And yes, I know that H

I use Ogg... Sometimes. I'm actually a bit curious about why no-one has suggested the use of mkv. It is an open container format, and works quite well in my experience.

I agree. I don't think it is necessarily POSIX that needs changing. The POSIX interface still works fine, it is only the implementation that needs modification.

This Scheier article discusses how useless security cameras were/are in cases such as the recent assassination. Its a good read. http://www.schneier.com/essay-309.html

I've seen this book from an HN link a few months ago, so he already got one boost. This will probably bump his sales nicely again though.

A friend and I recently just started learning Haskell, and as our first project we are going to implement the kademlia DHT algorithm ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kademlia ). If anyone wants to learn some Haskell and work on a dht algori

Lasik isn't really a cure. It simply changes the curvature of your eye so that you can focus on distance better. However, it actually makes you less able to focus on close items, so it's a trade-off.

I believe the College Board's choice stemmed from the fact that most large corporations use Java for their infrastructure. While unfortunate, Java is one of the most taught languages in colleges. I took AP Comp Sci AB last year, and I found

I would suggest we could start a thread like this once a year, maybe at the beginning of the summer or whatnot. The reason I say this is that I am extremely interested in the offers listed here, but I probably won't have time 'til next summ

Write about two things: What you are doing/how to do it, and what you are thinking about. If it is interesting to you, then you will write an interesting article (or so we all hope). Write for yourself. An audience is just a bonus. Don't wo

I prefer one widescreen next to one widescreen turned vertical. this way I can view plenty of code on the vertical monitor, and yet enjoy the benefits that the widescreen monitor brings.

If you are interested in getting involved in a "big" FOSS project, I would suggest two things: 1. Go on the IRC dev channel for the project. There you can get to know the developers, and discover from the quirks of the code base, and any ot

Don't blog about your life, blog about what you've learned. I blog about interesting code and languages that I come across. I like writing how-tos on my blog because often I will later use my own how-to to do something I had forgotten down

Quite frankly, the only software of Microsoft's that I've ever been impressed with is their Office Suite, and even that has gone down hill in the last few years. What they really need to do is stick to the basics. They need to stop wasting

We have a heavily graduated tax system though, so looking at the taxes for only one income isn't very telling.

I am 100% postulating here, but this is what seems most likely to me: Google is known for MapReduce. It seems like it would make regex searches manageable when put in such an algorithm. All Google would have to do would be to take whatever
