I couldn't disagree more that thinking harder about where things belong is a benefit of OOP: it's an entirely unnecessary tax caused by the requirement to wrap every symbol in a class. Another aspect of this is unnecessary effort

At a high level, I accept Shuttleworth's apology. I do not believe that it is a company policy to use trademark law to silence complaints. Some nuances: > Judge the policy. In this case Canonical has a trademark > policy that en

Headline is inaccurate (the Nexus 5 has 4.4 but doesn't use ART by default) and the article author doesn't understand the relationship between interpreters and JIT. Not front page material.

It definitely reminds me of the layout of Gmail, but I think it looks better. Is it better to use? I had one spam message in my inbox, and when I tried to mark it spam I was unable to do so due to a layout glitch. I refreshed and tried agai

If you start an antibiotic course, it's important to finish it. Otherwise you will have exerted some selective pressure on bacteria in your body without making sure you killed them all, leaving only the resistant bacteria to flourish.

I found it frustrating to play with a touchpad. I often accidentally started a click-drag or highlight instead of clicking a button. It would probably be ok with a mouse instead.

Yes, this was annoying enough that I eventually stopped. Two suggestions: 1) Add keyboard shortcuts, make them discoverable via an underlined character 2) increase the amount of space between the buttons so the tooltips appear over whitespa

I used that app heavily, and it certainly wasn't perfect. It had annoying bugs/behavior; some that I remember: (1) confusing vertical scrolls with horizontal swipes; (2) going back to the top of a story after rotating the screen;

The GIFs total 30MB (!), but as videos[1] they're 1-2MB total. That's a 15x-30x reduction in size. Surely that large of a reduction in bandwidth and improvement in user experience is worth it? [1] To get the frames of the GIFs: fo

The equivalent to || and && are the commands "or" and "and.": $cmd1 && $cmd2 || $cmd3 becomes $cmd1; and $cmd2; or $cmd3; i.e., they're just commands that inspect $status and run their arguments.

<($cmd) is called "process substitution." The fish equivalent is ($cmd | psub) I miss incremental history search myself -- that's probably my most used bash feature. Typing a few letters and then hitting C-P or up arrow works, but there

$5000 for 1 million users is a CPM of $5. That seems pretty expensive for advertising funded content.

Gentoo was the first distro I used, hell, I even did a stage 1 install multiple times, and I understand his perspective perfectly. "Ain't nobody got time for that" indeed. I'm a happy Ubuntu user now (right now, actually). I hope he gives U

In this case, the "client" would be the game render server. Your terminal -- which has the display -- is the "server." This is already the way OnLive, for example, works. All the rendering is done on the server side, which corresponds to th

It's pretty cool that this data can be so easily collected and shared. Some results: - Gender: Women were less impressed by Ryan's speech - Age: the 35-44 and 65+ segments really liked Ryan's speech; 18-34 were unimpressed. - Geography: sli

This is irrelevant to this discussion as long as none of the knowledge used was a trade secret. An employee is free to use expertise developed while at a previous employer.

The "jellyfish genes" in question are probably GFP[1] (Green fluorescent protein), which has been spliced into many organisms. You can even buy fish with the gene[2]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_fluorescent_protein [2] http://

NeXTstep may have been started in the 1980s, but it was still built on many open source (generally BSD licensed at that time) components. Apple hired Chris Lattner, who started LLVM when he was a graduate student at UIUC. It may be funding

VMware was probably based on M Rosenblum's graduate work on SimOS, which was GPL. If it's fair to call Perl "mostly a synthesis ideas present in ksh," I think it would also be fair to call Mac OSX "BSD plus a display server driven by postsc

Akamai was arguably paying Comcast for carrying their transit traffic. But they never should have been paying for traffic with a final destination in Comcast's network (peering traffic). As a Tier 1 ISP, Level3 does not require Comcast to
