A browser where the security updates aren't married to "interface enhancements".

Just give me the security updates for the version I have, because I don't want your designer's latest idea of what a browser should look like, and unwanted new features forced down my throat with the security updates.

Choice about what new features to install - much like Windows updates, would be nice.

At the very least provide ways to keep things working and looking exactly how they are at the moment. Needing an add-on to bring back the status bar in Firefox is a joke.

Jeff if you're reading, how about a new leadership principle?

Work Hard; Live Hard

Description: Have a good work life balance. When you're able and its appropriate, work hard. If you're not able, for whatever reason, or if it isn't appropriate to be working, please don't be working.

What is deemed able: If you're sick, you're not able. If you're tired, you're not able. If you're grieving, you are not able. etc.

What is deemed appropriate: Work <strike>50</strike> 40 hour weeks on average. While working regular hours, work hard. There may also be weeks you need to deliver, there may be weeks you need to be oncall: please work hard (i.e. more). However, if you constantly "have to deliver" or are consistently fighting fires, then something is wrong. This shouldn't be happening. Consider: are you setting bad dates for yourself? is your manager/team setting bad dates for you? Either way, fix that tomorrow. Meanwhile, quote this leadership principle and go home.

Scared your manager wont like your new attitude shift? Just quote "Its in Amazon's blood, Work Hard; Live Hard, I have a Kelly Clarkson concert to go to!"

P.S. Please realize I haven't given this much thought, every idea requires refinement, and this post is 40% in jest. Meanwhile, if you'd like to help Amazon potentially find a new leadership principle on the internet, constructive criticism or humor are my favorite types of responses ;).
I like that you can host it yourself. I'ld like to guide my company away from email+phone but it is a long way to go. And in Europe there are still a lot of concerns if you can't host something in your own environment.

I don't see any FOSS / paid modern solutions similar to slack, flowdock, scrollback, .. ready to be hosted in your environment. HipChat seems to be the only solution with a standalone server available. There are some open source competitors but they are far from production-ready. Am I missing something?

Considering the CPU architecture, everything relies heavily on caching. Not to mention it's the first thing any developer thinks about when performance is concerned. I'd be surprised to see any large application that doesn't rely heavily on some kind of caching.
JOOQ and Vertabelo – getting started
Bookmark sidebar as in Firefox (the thing I miss most in Chrome)
For the first time in many years I found myself in a big group of friends in a new city. Good social life is something I always thought I was missing and now I have it. I realized, though, that my problems are still there. Maybe I had put too many hopes into this, but I am rather disappointed. In fact, lately I came to appreciate again solitude and my alone times. I still think friends should be a top priority in life, but now I also think you need to reserve time to do stuff on your own, it gives you the chance to always try out new things.

From my experience with zLinux environments I would be inclined to scrutinise any density claims very, very carefully.

Interesting they're working with Canonical on this - the Z has historically been a SuSE stronghold, with a lot of the development of Linux-on-Z happening in Germany, and Red Hat trailing behind. I'd be wary it will be another increasingly typical adware effort from them.

(I follow the main zLinux mailing lists for my day job, and I see a lot of folks from SuSE, some folks from Red Hat, a bunch of people from IBM, and basically no-one from the Ubuntu/Canonical world. Usual disclaimers apply.)

How so?

Are you talking about pre-Vista - i.e. versions of Windows in which the user created during first run was an Administrator, and UAC didn't exist - though you could certainly create non-administrator accounts? Vista came out eight years ago...

Or do you mean pre-NT, when there was no separation of any kind? NT came out 22 years ago...
Are there package formats older than CPAN? Which is the oldest one?

Except for Go, all the languages I listed have support for generics.

I doubt Rust is faster than the languages I listed. Assuming a comparison with all available compilers, not just open source ones.

The minister "negotiating" (and I use that word in the loosest possible sense) for New Zealand anounced publicly he is "too emotionally invested to walk away". Which makes him as an absolute cretin (or a mark, if you're a poker player). But it's hardly surprising because he's spent 30 years either in the civil service or as a professional politician trying to get something like this passed. So your latter point is absolutely true. Groser has an absolutely religious position on this topic. New Zealand as a country will sacrifice pretty much anything to appease his desire to have this "accomplishment" for a zealot.
I think you overestimate how willing most developers are to fight with the borrow checker instead of using actor libraries or task libraries (TPL, TBB, PPL, Fork-Join, Akka) instead.

So far the Rust tricks with unsafe for certain data structures (e.g. double linked lists/DAGs) seem like fighting with the borrow checker. Or the issues to be solved with upcoming 1.3 changes for pattern matching.
He makes an important distinction between being able to compute and actually understanding what one is doing. If a computer can do it, a person can then simulate the computer that did it, but that person wouldn't need to understand a word of Chinese to do any of the computations (since they are just instructions that need following).

the issue is that the customs officers who are supposed to be in charge of this are very understaffed. for example, there's only 6 customs employees dealing with this for all cargo coming into nyc and nj. it's impossible for them to check all of it. forgery is also very common.

are you going to generalize from that one instance? if you have more examples, please provide them. also this is something that happens at the customs quite a bit. idk, do you care this much about other things confiscated during import even if they had the permits? yeah, sure, i care maybe a bit but fundamentally i don't care.

Amen; I'm still flabbergasted by programmers not acknowledging that it's entirely possible to create a programming language which embeds our concept of privacy in cryptographic reality.

All you would need for this is to model each user's interaction with the system as a statement, where a statement could be either code or data, and then sign and encrypt these statements by default and encrypt the statement's decryption key with recipients' public keys as needed.

This might sound esoteric but we could already do this today just by taking something like Unison [1] and adding this encryption layer.

As geeks we should really own up to the fact that it's perfectly feasible to do this... and get working on it.

P.S. For a fun fact; at it's core such a language would pretty much be what John McCarthy described as 'the language for the year 2015.' [2]

You can express the upper bound performance limit via Big-O notation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation

E.g. a list traversal, where n is the length of the list, would be O(n) operation, an array reference a constant time O(1) operation and so on.

This gives you just the upper bound however, there is no method to time the execution of a program on a given input other than running it. Also notice that in general case, this reduces to halting problem:

Beyond the fact that I wouldn't use a language without a native code compiler, the worst obstacle seems to be that you can't integrate Smalltalk into other OSs. You have to “boot” into a Smalltalk universe and do everything in its terms. There's no vim(1) there and all my other shell utilities are useless. It feels like I have to re-learn everything from scratch and do it differently, just for the benefit of using that one language. For me, that's just too much to ask. It doesn't scale.

This is, generally, undecidable. In fact, it's one of the most famous results in Computer Science, known as The Halting Problem[1].

Alan Turing showed that, for a program run on a particularly definition of a computer (a 'Turing Machine'), that is equivalent to modern computers, there is no general solution for determining whether a Program, run with a given Input, will halt or run forever. Your question about how long an algorithm will run is a more complex version of the same problem.

If you confine yourself to particular instances of certain algorithms, then you can do what you mean. The field of computational complexity is focused on the performance of algorithms, though the common measures[2] - big/little O/Omega/theta measure asymptotic complexity; that is how the complexity varies as inputs become arbitrarily large.

I can't vote for I-1401 and it's not because I am in favor of the trafficking of endangered animal parts. The initiative is fatally flawed, in my opinion, because it creates yet another crime that is punishable with time in jail but has no elements of intent or willfulness. Just like the absurdity of finding a bald eagle feather on the ground and, not knowing what it is, taking it home and using it in a mural that is later "sold or distributed" then being convicted of trafficking in part of an endangered species, I-1401 continues and broadens that trend.

If only the new section 3, paragraph 1 had read: "...for a person, who knew or reasonably should have known that the animal source is a covered animal species, to sell, offer to sell..."

Until then, I'm not willing to give license to criminalize any more accidental or unknowing behavior, especially not with jail time and a mandatory minimum penalty of TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS, which is four-freaking-times the total market value needed to be convicted of "unlawful trafficking in the second degree." (Section 3, paragraph (4)(a).)
how does one even begin to figure out the techniques used to write intros or demos like this?
Yes, because it manipulates the system in some way beyond copying the app to app, it's often hard to deinstall without traces, hard to keep two versions side by side etc.

So if the pain of the installer is larger than the added benefit of using Opera vs. Chrome, then yes.

I would like to see a browser that is designed as an engine, meaning that no UI/UX, or 'browsing' features are included. Much like a raw linux kernel in philosophy.
I would like this ideal browser to have interoperability with various JS engines, HTML and CSS renderers, as well as the standardized specifications for the underlying network protocols. It should be 'safe' by being written in languages where safety can be guaranteed ( with the exception of human error of course ).
In essence, if an open source core for a browser existed, maybe we could all work together and build the ideal browser.

"Ideal" isn't one thing. Allowing for personal customizations while following closely the standards make the base for implementing many "ideal flavors" of browsing experience.

The Turing Digital Archive
It tried to replace the entire tool-chain instead of playing nicely with existing tools.

While revolutionizing the entire tool-chain at once is theoretically possible, it is also unlikely to succeed in practice. Successful tools and languages knew how to incrementally improve things within the current system. This may make some people angry, but that's how the world works (see the apocryphal but not entirely untrue story about the width of a horse and the size of the space shuttle). The reason is that decision makers need to reduce risks, and switching everything at once is risky and stupid. Perhaps that's a Nash equilibrium, but without something external to force a revolution, anyone fighting that equilibrium is likely to fail.

well, the difference is that most rack cannot fit 10 TB of RAM and 140x5GHz cores:

but surely those are super-expensive and I doubt all that effective when it comes to performance per watt. I'm actually a bit more excited about Power8 servers, but are there any non-IBM available yet?
That should be an option. For example in my experience that kind of thing would be devastating to me
Apart from customizability, security and decoupling of UI changes from API/perf/security fixes:

- Option to stop all audio/video in all tabs

- Lazy session restore

- Reliable "save for offline viewing"

- Decoupling of "read later" from bookmarks and a separate interface for both

Going wild:

- Automagic unloading, archiving and clustering of opened tabs, perhaps with an auto-extraction of TL;DR from long articles

I very often open lots of pages (from HN etc.) but have no time to read them all at the time of opening. They linger as background tabs until the background tabs count is so big so I have to close them all and probably never come back.

Would be cool if the browser was able to somehow unload and archive unused tabs (to free some memory), and perhaps automatically group them into several categories: say, "angularjs", "bash", "youtube", "news" etc. and provide a good interface to return to them later.

However due to sheer amount of links I follow, my problem might be unsolvable :)
