I swap between Firefox and Chromium (yes, -ium, not -e) when developing web-related stuff - one day FF, the other day Chromium, recent versions of both browsers. Development is done on... a 2004 vintage Thinkpad T42p. With a whopping 2GB of memory. If it works on that, it should work on anything. I swap between these two to avoid developing towards one specific rendering engine and to get a feel for how things will work in 'the real world'.

While Chromium does beat Firefox in speed in several individual tasks the overall experience does not differ all that much between the two. Chromium is noticeably more memory-intensive than Firefox, this can go so far as to have the system slow down to a crawl with only two or three tabs open. With Firefox this is much less of an issue, it handles dozens of tabs without a hiccup.

Development tools are more or less on-par between Chromium and Firefox+Firebug (or Aurora). I do not notice the slowdowns you mention when using the developer tools - at least not when comparing between FF and Chromium - even though my system is much slower than yours (1.8GHz Pentium M, 2GB, ATI FireGL Mobility T2 + 128MB). Of course things just are slower on a system like mine so maybe I'm just used to waiting those extra few milliseconds here and there?

In my opinion Firefox has a much better user interface than Chromium, partly due to the fact that Firefox uses GTK (and as such looks (or can be made to look) like most other applications where Chromium comes with its own toolkit.

Once I'm done I test whatever I made on Safari on iOS (the 'new IE6'...) and prepare to jump through some hoops to work around the problems which invariably crop up.
I'm mainly talking about unmanaged apps, not apps distributed through the Mac App store. I don't think that x86 emulation is an option, that would be terribly slow.

I'm actually amazed that you write down so much. When I tried to use physical notebooks, I only ever ended up creating todolists on them, and task tracking tools like Trello or GitHub Projects turn out to be much more effective for that purpose.

EDIT: There's one exception where I write notes from time to time: design notes for hypothetical software. I still have a few text files from a few years back somewhere in a Git repo, where I hypothesized about how my own programming language might look. Rust has stolen most of my ideas, though. :) (There was actually something vaguely similar to the borrow checker in there.)
> It's not like children died en masse due to being allowed outside

Do you know what the rates of accidental death were in the 1970s vs today?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just interested if you know the data.

EDIT: indeed, most children killed in car accidents were inside the vehicles, so driving kids everywhere may be increasing their risk of death. And a decreasing death rate might just be better car safety features - better car seats; better seatbelts and seatbelt laws.

EDIT2: Something like 12,000 US children die each year from unintentional injury, and 29million have non fatal injuries. Most of these are preventable.
Is this why I had problems with my new free certificate from StartSSL about 2 weeks ago? It wasn't obvious, I ended up using Let's Encrypt.

Could mean that they want to coorporate with DHL to some degree? DHL doesn't have a big network within the US, but they do have a lot of capacity Asia->US. So perhaps they'll use DHL to get goods to the US and use their cargo planes/fleets from there. That way they have to pay less to DHL and don't have to build up capacity to ship Asia->US as well.

Guess makes sense for both parties, DHL doesn't lose out (they didn't deliver for Amazon anyway) and Amazon can focus replacing what they pay most for, getting goods from import to the customer.
Should we trust them as a reseller? If/when they mess up again, are they nearly so easy to revoke? Does the cert contain their name still?
It's not as bad as the parent suggests, but our roads are much smaller than in the US, so on residential streets it is common to have only a single effective lane even if residents park on the pavement (as we call sidewalks). So to stop completely blocking traffic flow, this is what happens. There's typically plenty of room still on the pavement to walk in this scenario, so I've no idea why they're complaining. It's never been an issue in my entire life living here.

I don't have any screenshots or other images in my notes. If I needed one, I'd probably upload to an image hosting site and put the URL in my note. That's obviously not as good as embedding inline, but I haven't found anything that I consider perfect, yet. I probably would have just upgraded to a paid Evernote account if I hadn't found their client apps so buggy.
I agree that can happen. But I still have trouble viewing willpower as a constant resource (refreshed daily) over a person's lifespan. There must be a correlation with anxiety/stress and possibly exercise, among other factors.
I honestly think that we don't champion domain specific knowledge enough in software development, there's so many different aspects of software development nowadays and you just can't be expected to be an expert in all of it.

What I'm getting from your post is: When you teach other people, you devalue your own knowledge. Knowledge should be hoarded, guarded jealously, and others discouraged from learning the things you know. Because if knowledge is shared, that knowledge becomes less valuable, and so you are less valuable, and so can earn less money.

Is this a fair statement of your views, or am I misinterpreting you?
What specific software causes problems? I use SELinux on the desktop and have no issues with it other than occasional warnings which don't seem to effect anything. I develop a lot of networked applications and do a lot of stuff with Linux containers.

On the server I usually use Ubuntu and run custom server software running in a container and never have problems.
As someone who's thinking of moving to the United States it's interesting to me how this will play out. On the one hand I can imagine that some companies are misusing the H1B quotas to hire not-particularly-skilled workers willing to work for lower than market wages. But on the other hand it is not at all clear to me that companies engaging in this would be your typical SV corporation.

Perhaps someone more tuned in to this situation can chime in with some stats whether this is actually an issue for the American labor force i.e. a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

> Why can't there be a federal law enforcement division that works on behalf of federal agencies with a need?

Because a substantial portion of the work of many agencies involves specialized law enforcement in the domain of responsibility, and it's organizationally inefficient for that to invo love coordinating units where the lowest common level of management is the President of the United States.

OneNote works well for this use case. It syncs automatically across machines and devices, easy to search, does well with cut and pasted content, handles links, images, etc.

Well, the "we charge for the validation, not the certificates" approach is how they've done things for ages.

Prior to the clusterfk of becoming untrusted by Mozilla (etc), it was really useful.

Once verified you could generate many certificates (subdomains, etc) without forking over cash each time.

Compared to the general (scam-like?) model of other providers, it seems like a sane alternative.

Now they're untrusted though, it's kind of moot. :(
This stuff is more "good to show you know it (in the screening call)". It reads like a collection of shibboleths which signal "yes hello I am computer person".
European countries differ, but the tales are alike.

At least for Germany, if you want to get rid of somebody (outside the public sector), you can. If you don't know about somebody's qualifications, you have 6 months of evaluation and can start with a limited contract for up to two years (and companies routinely do).

If people underperform (or are otherwise unfit for the job), you can get rid of them after a small number of written warnings to notify them, so they can try to improve (somewhat similar to a performance improvement plan).

But that tale is very useful to keep employees subservient: "Be grateful that we take the risk of employing you, so better don't stick your neck out by asking for something outrageous such as a higher salary!", and so employers keep telling it.

It's an every day occurrence in London unfortunately. People park on sidewalks, cars parked down both sides of narrow streets with no room for cars to pass in opposite directions, you have to pull into gaps between parked cars to allow head on traffic to pass. In some places there you only have inches on either wing mirror to even pass through. If you've never been to London, you can't begin to appreciate the width of your roads here in North America.

In places where you have 20 mph zones because you feel like you can't physically get 2 cars past each other in North America, not only do you have traffic flow in both directions, the speed limit is 10 mph faster and everyone is still speeding.

There are places where if you don't park on the sidewalk, there isn't enough space on the actual roadway for traffic to pass... so people park on the sidewalk because "where else am I gonna park?"

This is everyday life in London, and people rarely even give it a second thought or bat an eyelid until someone gets hit, and then there's outrage for a day or two and then everyone shrugs and say "that's just the way it is" and goes back to their everyday lives.

Is this crazy? I guess it is, but that's London... and every other old world town in the country. Streets were built long before there were cars, houses line both sides of streets and so the roads can't be widened without knocking down hundreds or in the occasional place thousands of years of history. We take our heritage more seriously than our need for wider roads.

We all greatly over estimate our ability to drive and we all think we're the next World Rally Championship champion - because we all drive stick. None of those shitty automatics you North Americans love. When we drive, we want to drive, not cruise luxuriously on our floating cloud, cut off from the feeling of the road by soft suspension.

So imagine cars dashing through tight streets, with no room for two way traffic - even though it's a 2 way street, other cars parked close on either side, almost grazing your wing mirrors as you whip through and your only thought is I hope nothing comes the other way, the last place I could've let them pass was 400m back and I'd have to back up this bastard all the way back to there to let them pass.

Ironically, you have one of 2 states when you're driving on the circular road around London, our M25 motorway (that's what we call highways in the UK, motorways). You're either whipping along at 90mph (the speed limit is 70mph) 15ft from the bumper of the guy in front of you and the guy behind you 15ft from your bumper... all the way around the M25, or someone's had an accident and you're crawling along at 20mph wondering if you're ever going to get home. The 3 lanes of the motorway much of the way around is narrower than your 2 lane highways here.

The first time you ever drive in this kind of environment you feel one of two feelings - either trepidation, anxiety and nausea, or a level of indescribable exhilaration.

That's what driving in England is like. It's like an extreme sport compared to driving in North America.
Looks like all the browsers need to do a better job communicating that error. Firefox and Safari are the only two that provide any clue as to the problem, however Safari seems to jump to conclusions a bit.

> One of the saddest parts of this story is that decades of confusion could have been ended by checking glucose levels in these children at the hospital. This is a basic standard of care but seems like Bihar is so underprovisioned that even this simple step doesn't happen.

It probably did happen, but we're talking about children who are already malnourished to begin with. Establishing a specific food as the cause of their low glucose levels as opposed to the effects of malnutrition is not as easy as simply checking for their glucose levels.

Like any market, it's not free but created to favor some condtions. Permits for high-rise housing are harder to get than to build a mcmansion far away. True cost of roads does not get paid - the reason why highways are full is that people don't pay market price for using them - in fact government gives them away for free. Proper prices for using roads and burning gas (externalities included) and more american cities would start building highrises for housing.

I've recently become a big fan of disc-bound notebooks. Buy one, get the hole punch for the brand, and a ream of high quality paper, and go to town. You can print various linings on them (e.g. Graph paper) and the best part for me is rearranging the pages in whatever order ends up making sense, or toss things like a todo list that's all done.

I've tried solutions like org-mode but I just find thinking on a keyboard to be entirely inadequate for some reason. I end up doing a lot of free-form notes so that might be one reason why.

Thanks for spelling it out plainly! I had not considered that "religious beliefs" can be anything one wants it to be, it doesn't need to be rooted on any theology. I guess it serves me right for my arm-chair sociology.
I have created my own tool that uses couchDB as a document store back-end, because I like the way it has built-in replication.

UPS and FedEx don't really seem to be printing money. I would think that Amazon tends to be one of their worst customers (margin wise).

Obviously Amazon still benefits if they can capture some of that margin (and probably from being able to specialize to themselves and find efficiencies there), but is it a huge opportunity or is it just a worthwhile place to optimize their business?
This is something I've been postponing for a long time. I'm mostly delaying it for the "dread" of having to pick and learn a GUI library.

A quick and dirty content agnostic grid based level editor.

When making some game prototypes and in Ludum Dares I find myself making grid based games. I use text files or excel to "build" my levels, but it is cumbersome and not very flexible.

What I want is:

- A grid view. Where I can "dig" cells. Either the grid is infinite or I can add/remove columns and rows.

- A generic "level content manager". I can add into the project a set of "tags" (Enemy X, item Y, trap Z, event W) with a visual representation (shapes and colors)

- I can add these previously created "content" to cells in the map.

- It exports to a generic format. JSON is the first one that comes to mind.

EXTRA: Export to Lua. With the option to add custom code bits to cells/content that is semantically checked.
The README is updated with more details on the tests performed. Also concerns raised about setup scripts are fixed now. Thanks a lot for pointing those out.

I am not surprised on your first impression that the published results are too good to be true. But we have proved that a custom built solution can outperform half baked solutions very easily, in addition to providing correctness.

Not quite, I omited here that it is also statically typed and is a future proof language. Mainly because these are properties already shared with Java. However this is not true of PHP.

PHP is a great velocity language, provided you have a small(er) team or are willing to commit to additional controls on how you write your PHP (document types/structure of arguments mainly) to ensure that your PHP code is able to be read quickly by other developers.

Personally I prefer Go here because it enforces good readability by default and therefore scales better with team size.

No. Minorities are still in worse situation than majority globally. And all so called "minority tyranny" is just a random malfunctioning of institutes usually directly involved in screwing minorities. E.g. some black woman successfully sued some white white male for racial/gender reasons and it was bad for common sense? That's because it was possible in the first place to do that, only previously it was done the other way.
