why would all the memory of chrome be in RAM and other programs not? I suppose there must be lots of swapped data there too. Doesn't crome have a separate sub? process for each tab with not much shared between tabs? In looking for ways to f

Well isn't it almost the only windows phone out there that doesn't feel experimental and a quick hack job? I have a lumia and like it a lot better than android, but the screen feels incredibly lo-rez compared to my iphone 4 so surfing the

I really love SimpleGeos logos, but I have never grokked what problem they really solve for the user, but I totally get what urban airship solves. I've done a couple of app project with geo data but I don't see any benefit of having that pa

Good article but I disagree that supporting "Android (not Google) even though you like IOS" is a valid strategy for openness. android is all about monitoring and datamining the user. Sad to see the good old openmoko project die.

Build it anyway you like but then wget --mirror before rsync to deploy.

Thanks! Yeah, both are growing, but android are growing faster, figures. Article tries to suggest that iOS is shrinking.

by sunkencity 15y ago
Did the total market grow? Article doesn't say anything about that, title slightly misleading as it is about new phone sold, not the total of users. I'd expect android to sell more, but apple to continue to hold the high end.

Hacker News - home of the Android Zealots, can't say something even slightly bad about android without being voted down. To me that phone looks very similar to an iphone 4. The apple iphone 4 has the outer rim as the antenna, looks like a s

well, they have exactly copied the antenna design and the rounded sim card slot, as well as the speaker outlet (only slightly larger holes for the speaker grille), and the buttons look exactly like the switch on my iphone 4. Power on switch

Got to love a "reference design" that looks like a cheap knockoff of an iphone4.

QuickSilver: just works, and selects correct thing you might be looking for. Spotlight: is slow, show all kinds of crap you are NOT looking for. To add insult to injury it also requires typing way more characters to get a hit, and requires

cat a big logfile on iTerm, cat a big logfile in terminal. Then for some really screaming performance, cat a big logfile in xterm. Then, for insane performance cat a big logfile in mrxvt or rxvt. Anti aliasing really slows things down, so p

I take it to mean that the one expressing that sentiment doesn't have the same interests as the corporation mentioned in a shared matter, like open/closed platforms, like freedom (maybe wanna rip that DVD you own so you can view it on the i

It's my last line of defense when someone brings out the quotes and asks me to define good and evil. It doesn't take that much imagination to at least understand the idea that some people consider some huge corporations evil.

Well I "disagree" with "you". There's a lot at stake, depending on the fate of mobile web and computer interfaces in general, and privacy issues as well.

That's a really boring statement "One one side, apple not evil but a capitalist corporation, on the other side, google not evil but a capitalist corporation." why would I say that to be more reasonable, that reasonable statement doesn't con

On one side, apple evil, on the other side google evil. No wonder people are getting so worked up when they choose sides.

Google's doing it as well. This is an example of an old paper mill (with great water cooling possibilities) that was converted to a data center. http://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/hamina/

I like to use andand, which also encompasses the maybe monad, but in a better way IMHO. http://andand.rubyforge.org/ I'd also like just letting nils be nils :) but good presentation.

I like arch, except for the stupid command line arguments to pacman. I wish they had just kept it more standard. There's nothing wrong with naming "install" install and "search" search. Feels to me like a case of inventing complexity just t

I don't see why I would use this over just the normal contacts in iOS, or just notes. Why is there a PIN code? It's not like it's a banking app. Why no photos?

realtime like it's fast fortran matrix stuff. compared to slow-as-molasses ruby native Array#mean (which has to be implemented in ruby).

by sunkencity 15y ago
Looks good. I'm a big fan of narray to get decent performance for array operations, interesting to see how the rewrite of that will perform. Narray is pretty damn close to realtime compared to native ruby implementations.

Brute force hack is always the right way to start out, and I love the ruby community/the ruby approach for this. Get something that works, and then optimize the internals if project takes off. For a solution to the rubygems index download t
