Bah, they can have the verb. It's the noun, 'hacker', that doesn't have a satisfactory equivalent, IMO.

Came here to say that -- Although it has been my perception lately that we've been making progress in stealing the term 'hacker' back.

Seconded. I heartily recommend anyone with even a slight interest in Riak to check out the Riak Fast Track: http://wiki.basho.com/The-Riak-Fast-Track.html It's a quick, interesting, and to the point into to Riak, including theory, install

I've been using Taskwarrior for a few weeks as my primary task manager, and I have to say it's a beautiful extension of the principles of Todo.[txt/sh]. The only thing missing for me is the ability to apply modifications to filters instead

I also find myself wishing that Ruby's destructive (!) and boolean (?) suffixes were either enforced somehow or not used at all. The idea itself is cool, communicating extra context about what the method does or its intended usage, but they

I've been tooling around with Haskell for a few months now, and since the beginning I've been impressed with the incredible amount of polish that goes into the official distribution. Maybe my expectations of an 'academic', FP language were

I can't help but feel that go is destined to become the NBL, at least in the world of enterprise development where static typing and OOP have become assumed if not necessary. Aside from having the backing of Google, it provides C-like low-l

I've seen literally dozens of unresponsive and defective EC2 instances over the last year. This was spawning 100s of medium and large instances per day, with an average instance lifetime of around 3 hours. From what I've read during my usag

Exactly my experience so far, except there's _still_ no decent Firefox replacement for Chrome's Google Quick Scroll. I forget I even use that extension in Chrome until I end up constantly Ctrl + F'ing the hell out of search results pages in

Care to elaborate on the show stopping bugs of Spaces? I use virtual desktops constantly in Linux, but have abandoned Spaces when on the Mac. I haven't really taken the time to distill what isn't 'right' about Spaces, so I'd be curious to h

You could quite easily 'pre-load' the volume button before taking the photo by holding it down partially without actually engaging it. This would make the amount of remaining force necessary to actually snap the shot roughly comparable to t

In short: No. I've used Diigo and Xmarks, and they don't cut it. Would love to be proven wrong, but even the "people's champion" here, pinboard, doesn't even approach the usability or functionality of delicious. There's no first party Chrom

I came to the same conclusion after using delicious for a few years... right before they came out with the intelligent auto-tagging stuff, which would mark bookmarks with perfectly relevant and useful tags automatically. When it comes to bo

Arg, going over the alternatives in this thread and on the web, I fear the actual loss of delicious is its useful dataset. With so many competing products vying to take its place, it will probably be a while before a de facto bookmarking se

Pipes is a great example, with even more of a niche audience than any of the non-profitable Google products I can think of, aside from maybe Refine.

Yes, but there's some major differences between bookmarking and searching. The fact that the majority of users are naturally dependent on searching means there's (obviously) massive exposure to eyes and wallets, and there always has been. W

Maybe, but I think the only thing that would have been 'prevented' is delicious existing for as long as it did. They've tried to monetize, xmarks tried to monetize, both failed. It seems possible that maybe social online bookmarking service

Google has their loss-leader products that exist for the benefit of the online community, but I don't think that this is (necessarily) Yahoo lacking that benevolence. Let's face it, Google has a lot more capital to back non-profitable produ

Two things: Calling new Object[]{} directly is going to call the constructor for Object anyway, so there's no really difference in the number of method calls for either. Also, in terms of optimization: calling new Object[]{...} makes it so
