He had his passport. I believe he is currently traveling through South America to give FOSS talks in many universities. I believe part of the issue is that because of this very details, it puts an end to his trip which has been rough and ma

I don't understand the downvotes. Care to explain?

I'm sorry, but I really find this detail particularly intriguing: "extending human life-time". Indeed. But what for, exactly? I can't help but look at elder people and think it's a disservice to wire them to those machines, fix their hearts

Or they may use this as an advertisment for selling the actual dataset.

In this case, what you really mean is that the Open Source model is broken. Perhaps he should spend time fixing it instead of bashing innocents? I don't think the Open Source model is broken. I actually don't think the Open Source model is

Wow. English really is a broken language. Thanks for the fix. I'll leave my comment as-is for posterity.

I think you nailed it. Different solution are valid at different times. Also in many cases, a website rewrite is really nothing complicated.

The whole thing here is that profane has many different definitions and someone who is an actual Buddhist has reported that this is profane for him. As I said above, Buddhism is only a philosophy in the western world. Buddhists may not see

Reality check time. In most Therevada Buddhist countries, Buddhism is closer to a religion than it is to a phylosophy. To go even further, the western world has a very romantic view of Buddhism and strong opinion on what is and what is not

Definitely a problem in Go. It's still possible to embed resources in the binary but if you're talking about a lot of such resources, the resulting binary size can be an issue as well. Not to mention resources won't be available outside of

I personally use a good old Makefile to create debs. I'm not sure using Fabric for that gives much of an edge. I also handle base system configuration through a hierarchy of debs that perform tasks ranging from user configuration and databa

Actually, it's often the case with research projects in Europe. That's about all that make me feel European. Go ESA, Go Europe. I'd also like to say that dw.de seems like an awesome source. I live on the other side of the Rhine but somehow

"Their native OS was no where near ready" By that, I suppose you mean Meego. I have recently used a N9 phone running Meego for a couple of hours and it was a real pleasure. In many regards it's better than Android has been until recently. I

Oh yeah thanks. I guess I'm doing it wrong :) Glad to see some work on that front.

I wrote a couple of D programs long ago and I still have a taste of an unfinished language. If I recall correctly, arrays manipulation is pretty weird and the language feels a bit the same PHP feels: a bunch of different things pieced toget

Clearly, there was a need for "Hey, things won't change as much from now on". Now, I'm still afraid little work will appear on the GC, which is IMO Go's biggest weakness to date.

Yep. In other words, using more memory in user space is a sure way of slowding down the system. Specifically PostgreSQL is easily impacted by that as it keeps as little memory for itself as possible and delegates everything it can to the OS

What is Canonical bringing on the VPS that is so specific? I haven't yet seen anything really interesting coming from Canonical. They have a debian base with more recent packages but they also break more often (although quality has improved

Have you tried to use a Compose Key on X servers? You can use it as follows: Compose-Key e ' => é Compose-Key e ` => è Compose-Key e " => ë Compose-Key e ^ => ê I wonder how this is done on Mac?

I'm actually convinced it's a little sad that S3 becomes the defacto standard. At its core, S3 is a key-value store and I don't think it's a very feature-full one at that. Indeed it has some very good features but I'm afraid people simply i

They have no points at all and you must have missed English 101. First sentence: "THE past four years have seen the worst economic crisis since the 1930s and the biggest food-price increases since the 1970s. That must surely have swollen th

Their point is moot and I don't get their intention. They use figures from 2005 and 2008 so they can't legitimately try to relate the economic downturn to improvements in worldwide poverty.

I used to work at the CSTJF in Pau, France which is one of Total's biggest cluster (if not the biggest). Their data-center was ranked 91 in the top-100 at the time. In the event of a fire, they have (had?) a system that would release a gaz

I think you're missing the point. It's about "The loss of ACTs as an effective therapy". ACT has been the goto treatment for long now and what is at risk is an effective goto treatment which would leave each clinic with no easy and effectiv
