What's a better one, and how is it better? Mobile Safari's pretty widely acknowledged to implement a much better HTML5 experience, for example, and clearly it can be made to make good use of hardware acceleration for modern non-document-

In which modern MVCC databases can you ask the results of a query if it had been made 1000 transactions before I started this transaction? MVCC is great for dealing with the problems caused by mutability with Concurrency . Datomic takes v

Why don't we have vehicles with the speed of airplanes, the low capital and operational cost of motorcycles, the cargo capacity of trains, the cabin space of luxury yachts? NoSQL is just a brand name for a loosely defined set of engineering

I opted-in to Safari's default policies when I chose to use Safari. I have also toggled that setting back and forth and now am quite satisfied with the default. Unless Google has information to the contrary, it should not circumvent the s

OS X and Linux never shared a common parent or converged. The BSD heritage is what makes it Unixy. BSD has been oil to Linux's water for a long time.

You can post whatever you like on your own blog, but I think what these women want is the ability to have their posts seen by their friends and family. For a huge majority of the people I know, Facebook is the only way to do that. I don't

I prefer to interpret the opposing party in such discussions as serving a vital function in a Socratic dialogue. Whether or not IHBT, it's useful to argue the issue with an opposing viewpoint.

You're right, it's an interesting phenomenon, but I don't think it's new. For better or worse, Facebook has become the primary (and often only) way I communicate with the majority of my friends and family. While there is certainly an impor

You don't; millions of Facebook users exercise the right to do so without having their photos removed. Look at the photos you do post of you doing whatever activity you consider central to your life and how your friends and family perceive

Why don't you build your own news aggregator site if you need to say ridiculous things so hardly (sic)? edit: I didn't mean this to be just snippy. My point is that the discussion is here, not on his own blog, and he wants to have his opini

Even a single, childless male can think through the differences between conceiving a child and supplying that child's frequent, urgent nutritive needs. If you miss a meal, you may feel a little hungry or tired or cranky. As best I can repr

Or over changing the formula of Coca-Cola. When you feel that the free market does not provide you with an acceptable substitute, it's in your interest to make your problem known. With any luck, you thereby make it in the corporation's inte

Bikini pictures are way, way more nude (and prurient) than any breastfeeding picture I've seen, yet that's okay. As long as the subject is attractive, apparently. Sometimes it really does seem like the alleged cabal of male chauvinists pr

Exactly! Like so many other things that shouldn't be considered wrong, so many people will say that it's okay if you do it "in the privacy of your own home". And like so many of those other cases, it's a natural reaction to attempt to truly

How is it disrespectful to breastfeed one's child in public? You and others seem to be assuming that's just self-evidently true, but I don't know why that would be. People say things I consider delusional, ignorant, or offensive all the ti

> Personally I think it is a case of over sharing. So what you're saying is that Facebook should be removing something like 90-95% of the photos uploaded to it.

You're focusing on the wrong person in the situation, and maybe that's part of the problem. It's not about the mother performing a bodily function; it's about feeding a very dependent and undisciplined proto-human. Neither their minds nor t

This doesn't sound like Go to me, but I've never used it: Homoiconic Code can be manipulated as data. Extensible syntax I find I don't use macros much anymore. I do more with data-oriented programming. But it is nice to have when you need i

I just always have an emacs running, and use emacsclient to open files in it. Anyway, if you're typing "git commit" you may not be using the capabilities of your editor to the fullest.

What about JavaScript makes it inherently single-threaded? I would describe it as more of a counter-example. There's nothing preventing a multi-threaded JavaScript except for the implementor's choice to avoid it. When the need for para

When thrown, the iPad 2 is also less aerodynamically stable than a Frisbee, therefore Apple must have secret holdings in a toy company. This is some powerful mojo. It's like I'm finally seeing the real world.

Content providers already have to support browsers that don't include h.264, and Chrome users are now in the same boat as Firefox users -- which content providers certainly won't ignore. For sites which only produce h.264, Chrome includes F
