ABCL is far from dead. I hack on it and working on a Lisp SDK for Android.

My opinions are backed by code. I implemented this new Java feature in ~30 lines of CL, there was no committee involved:

http://mahmud.arablug.org/java-try-with-resource-in-lisp.htm...

Something has to be said for expressiveness when one guy with an spare hour can implement what might be considered a major language feature like this. Makes you wonder what else is being made difficult by the language; how much time and money, not to mention sanity, are being wasted trying to cut wood with a dull knife?
This speech was posted to MetaFilter a few years ago and generated a much deeper discussoin than it seems to here. http://www.metafilter.com/64034/The-Waw-effect Definitely worth reading some less glowing discussion about the talk.

No, it has nothing whatsoever to do with that.

I looked into SizeUp, but it seemed to follow a different model than xmonad/awesome: it only tiled (and then, only in halves or quarters). What I like about xmonad/awesome is that there's a master window and all other windows are automatically managed for me on the other side of the screen; if I want one of my windows bigger, I just rotate it into the master slot. I really don't have to manage my windows, which I love.

I haven't looked into Divvy, I'll take a look.
I've heard that claim but I'm unsure why airlines would inconvenience their customers for cell providers.
Off-topic, but have you tried the 'disable everything you don't search for in spotlight' workaround? I've heard it works wonders, and the more you can disable the better. Not entirely sure why. You can google for the details (if there are any more than what I've listed already).
The hardest thing for me about working at home is convincing everybody around me (and myself) that I'm "at the office" during the day and am therefore unavailable to do things you'd normally do if you were sitting around the house all day.

So, no, I can't take the car down to the DMV to get the emissions tested at 11. I can't run a bunch of little errands because it's not my day off. I need all 8 of these hours in an unbroken stretch, and if I do it right I won't even find time to stop for lunch. It's tough to communicate that to your partner, especially when she comes home at six to find you in your bathrobe playing Fantastic Contraption (, relaxing after a long productive day, but it probably doesn't look like it.)

Like most things, a lot of it comes down to self-discipline. I tend to start the day at 8am with a cup of coffee and a walk up the stairs to the office. As the author says, there's nothing wrong with a little bit of schedule, so long as you remember to take advantage of the upside of running your own business. If the sun is shining at noon, chances are you'll find me out in the hills with a pair of rock boots and a bouldering mat.

As someone who has spent the better part of their life studying economics, I would have to disagree. Krugman is by no means a respected economist. I would even go as far as to say that he is regarded as being a laughing stock in our field.

Search "Nobel Krugman Fraud." Better yet, here's a direct link: http://www.lewrockwell.com/anderson/anderson229.html
No it can't be interpreted to mean that, because it's incorrect.

I'm in France, and if i want to call France, i have to pay. But i'm not making any international calls.

What it can be interpreted to mean though, is that Google wants to focus on us audience first, as they do with nearly all their services.

I'm not in the US, but i'm fine with that. If they want to offer good service, they first have to make it viable economically.

I disagree with the view that introducing more "system" in the code is a waste of time. I do agree with another poster in this thread, that it would be a lot better if these kinds of constructs weren't baked into the language, but were instead specified by macros.

Congratulations! Nicely done.

I actually built a very similar system about two years ago, when I was screwing around with the Wikipedia dataset as a playground for some graph theory experiments, but it never occurred to me to make it into an iPhone app. Brilliant move.

If you're looking to make an "advanced" version, I coded a variation where each page was weighted by the number of in-bound links from other pages, and the goal was to minimize the weighted path. I found that led to some interesting lateral thinking to find more obscure connections between topics.
"quarantine the malicious code"
The submenu thing annoys me to know end in Windows. Makes me wonder if there's a patent that prevents Microsoft from implementing the same behavior.
Great work! For later, though, browsers are apparently due to be implementing color picking controls (according to the alistapart HTML5 book anyway).
Of course, I was the old Total Annihilation buff. I had a few mods on it, mainly adding up to 1000 units per side, and up to 10 players.

The most I played was 6 sides, each of us around 800 units each, with 200 en route to someone elses base. Those games lasted for around 5 hours, which were a blast!

Then we compiled a private epic build system on top of advanced that had mechs, berthas on wheels, and walking fusions. The doomsday device was a nuclear launcher that would, on impact, destroy a 22 screen radius of everything. When you're playing on Real Earth v2, which is 128x128 screens (at 1024x768) you need big skills.

None of this "click on buttons to make xp go bigger" or other gimmicks of these net games.
> Fortunately for Apple, far more people have been willing to try the iPhone than have been willing to try their computers

Most people I know that have (and love) the iPhone today hated it before they tried it. I had a friend who kept saying his Windows Mobile phone was fine for all the stuff he needed, and there was no reason to get an iPhone. After he moved in with me in Vancouver (from New Brunswick) and saw how fluid it was for me to use my iPhone, and how I never had to dick around with it uselessly like he did with his just to get it to work, he switched.

Two years of me telling him it was great, and he didn't believe me. A week of seeing me use it changed his mind.
Articles like that are why I would be happier to simply see politics banned from this site.
Also, if you maintain your own, modified version of something, it can get pretty hairy as it starts to diverge from the main open source one. That divergence can cost time and money.
Right now, if you were to buy a CD of Beethoven's 9th symphony, you would not be legally allowed to do anything but listen to it. You wouldn't be able to share it, upload it, or use it as a soundtrack to your indie film- yet Beethoven has been dead for 183 years and his music is no longer copyrighted.

Wow, talk about missing the point: Beethoven has been dead for 183 years, but the musicians in the orchestra that recorded it certainly haven't been.

Having one random orchestra (even one with international renown) record the works of Beethoven, and releasing those to the public domain will only help people who want to re-use that single interpretation of the works in their indie film.

The whole project seems to me to be of minimal value; what they're really doing is hiring one orchestra to produce a very low budget version of some classic works, so that some future group of people can avoid paying the license costs for those (likely mediocre) versions.
Let’s use a line of Perl to see what the diff program saw.

That's a lot of typing to implement echo in perl.
I disagree. The post seems to me like it is aimed at learning new things, not an in-depth investigation on how the things you're already doing work in the background.

The things in the article are explained on their own level, and then a level below it, i.e. the file descriptors. How the file descriptors work, where they're stored, things like that, are well out of the scope of the article.

IMO.

Out of curiosity, why would you expect to know whether a given developer was using your technology using the criteria you list?

As an example, I've been using Microsoft technology for the better part of 20 years now, and I've never sent them an email. I'm sure there are chat rooms for their stuff, but honestly I can't come up with a reason why any grownup would ever enter one.

My suspicion is that the developers you see on the support forums are not the best ones. The ones that simply get it immediately and start running are the ones you'll never hear from.
Would you rather she golfed it? ;)
Both. I never seen anything of quality at Digg. Seems like a "news" aggregator polluted with links to everything internet.

I guess 'lack of focus' might be the right word.
I agree macs are beautiful and buying good tools is smart, but I love my Toshiba. It's a tank. It's been around the world with me, banged around on trains, planes, buses in second and third world countries, I've slept on top of my laptop bag with the sucker inside, and it still runs. It's got cracks in the case and the keyboard is battered, but it still runs. My old Toshiba was a tank too, it went five years before dying, and I run my laptops hard.

I love the aesthetics of a Macbook Air for instance, but I'd be terrified to travel with one the way I travel.
Sorry, my fault.
This really teaches me to read better comments, especially here on Hacker News. Thank you for pointing this.

Especially when she comes home at six to find you in your bathrobe playing Fantastic Contraption

Heh, I prefer to have woken up that 20 minutes earlier so at least I'm dressed. That was I can be really cheeky and pop out for ten minutes at lunchtime to buy a sandwich ;)

What you've written is absolutely true: people just do not get that working from home involves actually working for those hours. I've basically given up with my fiancee/friends/family: at 4pm I get up, and spend 30 minutes doing housework. I then finish my working day between 18:30 and 19:00, and life is good for everyone concerned :)

Summary:
Men are both better and worst than women. They are most at the top and also the most at the bottom. More men in CEO position and also more men in prison.

He tied in the fact that a society needs as many womb as possible and a few penis would do the job. Basically, saying the more people in a society the stronger it is. With this fact men basically are expendable, thus encouraged by society to participate in high risk endeavors. With high risk comes high reward. Hence a few successful men at the top.

Also, he points to the fact men have lots of shallow relationship while women value intimate relationship. But having a many shallow relationship allows men be more innovative since concepts are passed between then quicker compared to women.

Women would form small groups of intimate relationship while men will form large group. With large group emerges synergy and the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. Hence, men form cultural things like religion, universities, sport teams, etc. What comes with forming and creating them is men dominate them. Also, the system men set up are design that only a few can be rewarded and recognized.

There wasn't no real conspiracy by men to dominate.
While his point may contain some truth, his examples biased: it's unfair to compare 30-60s brand advertising for Android to what's effectively an 8m infomercial for the iPad.
New Zealand.

The place is mind-blowing. It covers every single requirement.

Extreme sports+Skiing/snowboarding+stunning scenery=Queenstown in the Lower South Island.

Native cultural experiences+idillic uninhabited islands+stunning scenery=Bay of Islands, North of Auckland on the North Island

Volcanic activity+amazing hiking+incredible beaches=Rotorua and general east coast in the North Island

This list could go on for miles. I lived there for three years and travelled to almost every corner of the country and the place just blew me away. Do it!

Yes... the "geeks/techies" he talks about are the normal people. As opposed to the "if its purpose is something I want, and it's expensive enough, it can't really suck" crowd that Apple is able to tap into.

The second group of people would have significant reservations to buy a copycat design if they can afford the original. The first group is concerned about bang for the buck. And they only know how to measure "bang" in terms of numbers - because, among nondescript gray boxes (or small packets of shiny black) that all run similar software, those numbers are all you can easily find out.

Care to see how good the camera is? Either take a standardized benchmark to try out in controlled lighting conditions, or ask for the numbers. Do you want to know how well the microphone does? Either take your oscilloscope with you, have very good hearing, or ... well, people are not eagerly asking for numbers, they just assume that the microphone is always good enough for talking and not good enough for serious music recording.

Apple can work towards their targeted pricepoint by selecting which features/experiences to include such that the product as a whole is a pleasant experience. (Even though, among the "experience" crowd, no one would go for the quality of earphones that the iPod comes with, if they were to shop for new ones). The "commodity" people have a given feature set (the industry standard) and a pricepoint (or even worse, compete based on price) and all they can do to preserve their margins is squeeze hard.
I made the distinction between features and usability deliberately. In the context of my comment, a feature could be defined as "something the program can do," rather than "something the marketers will list as a feature," so in that context, easy and simple to use is certainly _not_ a feature. Like I said, there is a market for all levels of complexity and flexibility in software stemming from varying preferences and needs.
> We may also still hold old world values/moral beliefs, such as monogamy, dear.

I think monogamy spread because St. Augustine made it part of the Roman Catholic dogma that became the foundation for all Christian dogma, Christianity took over Europe, and then Europe colonized pretty much the rest of the world. I tend to think if things had gone differently, we'd be looking at a polygamous world.

(Edit: Did I just argue sexuality is a social construct? Oy vey...)
Thanks for those. I really like the borderless windows and the dark theme.
Why? Because Columbia girls won't put out?

They use their endowment for the public benefit. Even though Columbia is expensive the endowment does substitute education and science to an extent. It is just that the interest on 6 billion dollars is not much for a huge university that happens to be positioned in some of the most expensive real estate in the US. It definitely qualifies for a non-profit status.
I can't call my Google Voice number from Skype out. It says the number doesn't exist or is not in service. Is it possible that Skype could be blocking known Google Voice numbers? It seems unlikely but possible. Has anybody else encountered this problem?

Read the thousands of other questions asking the same thing. Obviously you know the answer, if not then you're wasting your time.
Yeah, it's great setting your own schedule, but it can be brutal too. No one yells at you if you're screwing off, you've got to be your own taskmaster and slavedriver, which isn't always a healthy relationship with yourself.

Me, in order to stay productive, I needed to start tracking my time and having daily objectives in order to get anything done. I wrote up something about this if anyone is interested - "The Evolution of My Time/Habit/Life Tracking" - http://www.sebastianmarshall.com/?p=127
The product is very thought-provoking for a bunch of reasons:
The positives:

1. It celebrates 'creation' as opposed to performance. The lose-control-of-performance-during-fight is an aspect that puts the performance of the character squarely in the court of its 'designed' attributes, rather than 'performed' action.

2. It is very intuitive and even 'humanist' if one can dare... Imperfections in character created by user translate into performance (or lack), and tend to become logical extensions of its behavior. Thus, this product becomes a celebration of this very imperfection - in the same manner that flaws in human nature are what make us human.

3. This product celebrates the hand. And how. It seems to capture the nuances of hand-drawn art, and I hope it eventually discerns medium - the quality of paper, the weight of the finger, and the stroke of the pen. If one can dare to think of the ideological similarities between the arts of calligraphy and sword-play - and if this product can begin to map those aspects, these will be very interesting times to live in.

The negatives [or fears, actually - being the incorrigible cynic one is]:

1. I am curious about the level of human intervention from the product-developer end once a user submits a character. I can imagine figuring weapon-attributes, body-limitations, some vectorization and animation 'rules'. If Cornelius can do all this himself - over time, if not immediately - it would be great.

2. The nature of 'conflict' - from the demos I see so far - each character's primary objective is attack-and-kill. If human-centric intelligence becomes a gradual attribute of the character - knowing its strengths and limitations, knowing the same for its opponents, being environment and constraint conscious, etc - it would be a great build-up. I am talking experience here, with which a character grows

3. Where do we go from here? I already see this becoming a cult activity. It can go further from there into the leisure/gaming/media end. It can also become a basis for a better tactical combat simulator. This is where the creators would have to answer the question - is this a product that treads the path of creation, art and design - or goes in the direction of solving(?)/mapping(?)human combat and conflict
The cost of owning a device is more than just what you initially pay. If you don't understand this you're never going to be well to do.

I have about 6 different brands of laptop, which I use as my desktop and carry with me on my long commute. Every one of them started having odd hardware issues. The latest was a Acer. Within 2 weeks the backlight stopped working. I got it fixed (no laptop for at least 2 weeks) and within another month it was broken again. It continued to be a problem until the warranty expired. I'll never touch another Acer product as long as I live.

Mac can and will have lemons like any company does, but their support makes me not have to fear this. That alone is worth any little extra I pay.

This advice is very bad. Yes, I'm certain you can make a server go faster by disabling some security features, but without syncookies you're one SYN flood away from a painful crash.

Your "mitigation" is also useless - yes, tarpitting for antispam purposes can work, but a specialized DDoS tool likely uses raw socket access (i.e. the OS doesn't keep track of the connections). If you can't take the number of bits/packets thrown at you, you will be unreachable. And even if not - we're still talking about 10,000 machines talking to your one server. The bad guys have a lot more memory.

I think the author has a point even if we were to maintain monogamy.
With a man high sex drive those women who are kept safe can serve as partners to an ally states. Consider a low rank man from our ally. Would he want to continue in a state where his chances of finding a mate is low or come over to us where the females are plenty and his status need not be so high in order to mate.

I wonder how much the negative cloud around Yahoo affects the popularity / uptake of things like this.
I too believe that some sort of social movement/ideal had something to do with us animals straying from our regular habits, however, I do not think Saint Augustine had anything to do with. I say this because the Iliad, and other works predating Christianity, put value on monogamy. We do have characters like Zesus who loved to play around with many women, but we also see what types of trouble that caused him. I believe that both male and female played a proactive part in what we now have today.

In the third link there is a rather interesting theory as to how it all started(hint: women made us do it).
