One bad thing about GNU/Linux is with the current direction of things, at some point in time we won't have this easy anymore.

IMHO the complexity gets a bit too high, and cost of maintaining forks gets too big, so even free licensing does not really matter anymore. One has to be very motivated, to keep up with his fork.
I've been using an LALR(1) parser generator by Paul Mann http://highperware.com/ which gets around this context sensitivity problem. I've had to hack it a bit to handle scopes, but this wasn't a major problem.

It generates an amazing lexer/parser, which can do something like a million lines of code a second. But he hasn't open sourced the parser generator nor ported it from Windows. I've been trying to convince him to do so, and he came oh so close recently.

He's been trying to figure out how to make money from it if he Open Sources it. As it is, everyone seems to be totally ignoring it despite its sophistication compared with flex/bison.

I disagree.

Once devices that don't support Flash become pervasive enough, everyone will have to write their flash-based web sites to support them. For most sites, this would mean using HTML5 (or related technologies), not writing a separate app that would require a developer license, approval, forking the codebase, etc...
I fail to see importance of most steps that are outlined in the article. Things like "Implementation of additional firewalls" are just technobabble for their fans: "Look, we are doing something!"
I'm pretty sure this will get downvoted and deleted in 2 seconds, but i'm honest to god not trying to troll, just state some of my personal experiences.

I'm currently working at a pretty small company with women coworkers, and most of them are at least as smart as some of the men i've worked with and one is way smarter than most people i've met. Having said that, in my experience both in college and at work (been working about 6 years now), on average the girls were less capable and smart at CS and programming. From my experience it seemed A LOT like they just didn't commit at nearly the same level as the guys. For most men who are programmers it's almost a way of life - I have never met a woman for whom the same could be said. The one woman I know who is vastly better at her job than anyone I've met, even she is simply a extremely dedicated professional for whom it is just a job, not truly a passion.

I'm not saying this means guys get the right to be assholes, I'm just saying I don't think this is entirely because there are so few girls or because of stereotypes, i think there is more to it than that, there is a statistically discernible difference in skill - from my limited personal experience. Please proceed with the downvote into oblivion :).
HDDs still fail as well remember. However, that aside, if you offered me the price of my SSDs and a next day warranty replacement on my computer with a great backup solution to give up tabbed browsing or keyboard shortcuts I wouldn't take it. The efficiency from those things is just too painful to give up once you have tasted it. SSDs are like that. They can be seen as the carbon fibre sportscar with no airbags, but it's more than just a revving status symbol and the joy of movement, it's speeding up the device with which I think: for work and hobbies. Brin calls Google the third half of your brain, implying improvement and extension, the computer as a whole is much more than that for people who value the life of the mind. The investment then becomes fairly easy to justify I think.
On the contrary, Unity broke all my keyboard shortcuts. I gave it a fair shake (used it during the beta, tried not to mark it down for bugginess) and am back to classic.

For my settings, multitasking with the keyboard is very easy
- just press super and the relevant workspace number
- just press super and the relevant character to launch a particular application

The alternative to SSD's are the conventional harddisk. But they also fail so you need a full backup anyway. (Maybe not so often, but i had also several harddisk which failed without much warning.)
The NYT on how the bin Laden announcement was leaked to the press: http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/01/how-the-osa...

Mr. Urbahn quickly added, “Don’t know if it’s true, but let’s pray it is.” He was credited by many on the Web with breaking the news, though he did not have first-hand confirmation.

Within minutes, anonymous sources at the Pentagon and the White House started to tell reporters the same information. ABC, CBS and NBC interrupted programming across the country at almost the same minute, 10:45 p.m., with the news. “We’re hearing absolute jubilation throughout government,” the ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz reported.

Seems like the leak was planned, or at least, unpreventable.
What recovery?
That last part is trivial: Just put those generic function in a functor, that take a Monad module as a parameter. Assuming I got the functor syntax right (unlikely), it should look something like:

functor MonadUtils MONAD = struct
sequence : 'a MONAD.monad list -> 'a list MONAD.monad
(* and so on *)
end
I'm not sure how you use "XX XX" in that code sample. Do you refer to the "struct Foo {...} Foo;" idiom? That's quite different, though :)
You sound like a desktop user, but a server environment, if done properly, is kind of the opposite.

Anything important is part of a pool.

Rebuilding, with cobbler + puppet, should take 10 minutes depending on your hardware and network, plus app files.

This is all trivial when weighed against the speed and to a lesser extent, power savings you get with SSDs.
US wars since the last decade have killed close to a million people, most of them civilians. This just cannot be justifiable. Or are you suggesting that the live of an American is far more valuable than the live of an Arab?

I haven't seen much discussion of Google's Panda update on Hacker News. I'm sure many legitimate sites have been negatively affected. I wonder if people are hesitant to share their experiences here because they think that we'll judge their sites negatively because the algorithm changes judge their sites negatively.

I have a very legitimate site (http://onlineslangdictionary.com/) that lost 25% of its traffic due to Panda. I'm writing up more details and I'll post them soon.

I had an SSD from SuperTalent last year. It didn't even last 2 months before massive filesystem corruptions started. Two weeks later it wasn't even recognized anymore by the SATA controller.
Sorry, I didn't know about the colloquial misuse of "compatriot" for "co-conspirator" or "buddy in crime" (??) etc.

I realized I was replying to a tangential remark, but it wasn't just language nitpicking. The implication that the US were in war against the people in the country that Bin Laden happened to be from, was serious enough not to let it go unchallenged.
I must be remarkable lucky. I have seven SSDs, four of them are installed in computers I use often, and some more in datacenter servers. I have never had a failure. And the SSD that's in my home unix server is already doing its job for almost two years now.

I do make regular (image) backups from all my SSDs, so when one fails I can quickly replace it and restore the image. Apart from that I keep all my sourcecode and work-related stuff in a source code versioning control system hosted in a datacenter.
Obviously there will have to be more repressions, to catch all those terrorists of other confessions that we simply don't know about yet.
All signs indicate that Julian Assange is correct about Facebook information being completely and easily accessible, without judicial oversight, to US intelligence.

This should not be surprising either, considering laws such as the USA Patriot Act and the long history of illegal wiretapping and illegal surveillance in general conducted by American intelligence agencies, with impunity.

Any skepticism about Facebook's availability to the NSA and CIA is, frankly, completely naive and ignores history among other things.

Actually, the Twitter stream was the first news I'd read about OBL. I woke up a short while ago, checked HN, thought "Huh, 'Osama'... I wonder if they're referring to Bin Laden?" and read the Twitter stream. (I had the good fortune of not seeing "Osama Bin Laden Is Dead" at #6.)

For me personally, that was far more satisfying than hearing about it via "traditional" sources. (Including Reddit.)

I would prefer if he was captured alive, got tried, found guilty and incarcerated for the rest of his life - I don't think the concept of justice extends so much as to be carried out in covert operations on foreign soil.

What saddens me most is that his legacy will live on, that many others are willing to kill and die to allow a worldwide theocratic police-state to be implemented. This is a very bad thing.
Part of the problem as I see it is that male dominance in CS extends all the way to the top. At a particular university I have in mind (but will not name for legal reasons) nearly all of the lecturers were male. Most women who were staff in the department were secretarial (in fact, all of the administration staff were female), and the male staff were every bit as bad, if not worse, than your stereotypical male IRC user. We're talking about ignorance and disrespect running so deep that the way some girls (undergrad and postgrad) have been treated by staff is tantamount to sexual harassment, so I find it... amusing when we're talking about the behaviour of students, or social fixes, when to me it feels like the whole damn system is stuck in the 50s.
You should have no problem finding a job. Unique skillsets are unique, so there will be a small number of people who truly want someone with yours, but you'll be very valuable to them.

Things to do:

1) Make a resume and cover letter. Have many people look over it and give feedback. Take the feedback.

2) Do some practice interviews. Either a friend can do this, or second-tier employers can do this (start by applying to places you would consider as backups, and then apply to the first tier where you really want to work).

The major problem I've seen from people with your type of background is failure to understand what the employer expects and wants in terms of job application and interview. On a very high level, your goal is to convince them that you'll make them more money than you'll cost them, but you have to be fairly subtle about it in a bunch of ways. You also need to make sure you don't subtly convey things that will imply you'll cost them money (arrogant, hard to work with, needs babysitting, etc.)
... And then they'd drop.
I also thought that about SSDs.

Then I stumbled upon this on the Apple store when configuring your disk options: "Your MacBook Pro comes standard with a 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive. Or you can choose a solid-state drive that offers enhanced durability."

So, why do they say that? What SSD do they built in? Is that a particular special SSD with enhanced durability? Even more enhanced than regular harddisks (like they are claiming)?
Ordinary Income vs Capital Gains

Think delegates, or observers. There is a race condition between calling the delegate and deregistration of the delegate. Once an object's dealloc method has been called, you must not resurrect it, but there is a race between the execution of -dealloc, the de-registration of the delegate, and the dispatch of messages to the delegate.
I think it is, I may be wrong. It's the same as (trying to preserve formatting this time):

Half of his arguments seem to apply to Android before 3.0, and the other half are against the 10" screen.

If I wanted portable, I'd use my phone... It's much more portable than a 7" tablet... It certainly fits in my pocket better than a paperback book.

And the 'designed for phones' bit might be originally true, but 3.0 wasn't designed for phones. It was designed for tablets.

Oh, and his last argument, that Google won't let them put Google apps on the tablets, is wrong. All the good tablets have official permission now.

I thought this article would talk me out of buying a tablet, but it failed. I want one just as much as before.

This post has some pretty decent hard stats. Not scientific, but less anecdotal than the linked article.

To be recorded the VAS had to be made directly through the merchant, which is not always the case since it is possible to return directly from the manufacturer: however, this represents a minority in the first year.

- Maxtor 1.04% (against 1.73%)
- Western Digital 1.45% (against 0.99%)
- Seagate 2.13% (against 2.58%)
- Samsung 2.47% (against 1.93%)
- Hitachi 3.39% (against 0.92%)

Hitachi is plummeting, which was first in the previous ranking! Western Digital retained its second place despite a failure rate increasing, while Maxtor is occupying the first place.

More specifically the failure rate for 1TB drives:

- 5.76% Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.B
- 5.20% Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C
- 3.68% Seagate Barracuda 7200.11
- 3.37%: Samsung SpinPoint F1
- 2.51% Seagate Barracuda 7200.12
- 2.37%: WD Caviar Green WD10EARS
- 2.10% Seagate Barracuda LP
- 1.57%: Samsung SpinPoint F3
- 1.55%: WD Caviar Green WD10EADS
- 1.35%: WD Caviar Black WD1001FALS
- 1.24%: Maxtor DiamondMax 23

Hitachi is logically the less well placed, what with two separate lines! What about the 2 TB version?

- 9.71%: WD Caviar Black WD2001FASS
- 6.87% Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000
- 4.83%: WD Caviar Green WD20EARS
- 4.35% Seagate Barracuda LP
- 4.17%: Samsung EcoGreen F3
- 2.90%: WD Caviar Green WD20EADS

Overall, failure rates recorded are bad. That does not really want to entrust to 2TB of data to these discs alone: a mirroring will not be too much for securing data. Logically 7200 rpm disks are less reliable than the 5400/5900 rpm, with almost 10% for the Western model!

For the first time, we also integrate SSDs in this article type. The rates of failure recorded by manufacturer:

- Intel 0.59%
- Corsair 2.17%
- Crucial 2.25%
- Kingston 2.39%
- OCZ 2.93%

Intel stands here with a failure rate of the most flattering. Among the few models sold over 100 copies, displays a rate of no more than 5% VAS.
It's really sad...
GoSwedish and BikeDoctor? Pretty fringe apps. I wonder if the real problem is the findability of fringe apps for Android.

Also perhaps Android users are not indoctrinated to the Apple "walled garden concept", and expect to find these on an Internet website rather than in an application. I certainly find the concept of a guide to bike repair or learning Swedish in the form of an application very odd. An application store isn't the first place I would consider looking for this type of thing.
There is indeed no such thing. What they can always say is that since there are no moving parts in an SSD drive, you don't have to fear screwing up your data by moving your laptop around while working. In that sense and in the hands of a careless laptop user, it would indeed be more reliable.

What I describe above is just an excuse they can (and probably) use. The reality is that it's just marketing text to up-sell you something. I bet it works in many cases.

I would call this a huge leap backwards. It is the first version of Debian or Ubuntu in 15 years that doesn't work. Wireless broke. Wired broke. Unity caused windows to randomly turn white. No obvious way to turn off visual effects. The UI feels like a clone of the Mac without a real understanding of what works and doesn't work on the Mac. A lot of the Mac paradigms come from a world of much lower resolution than modern desktops. The Mac-style top menu bar doesn't work well for modalless, Unix-style applications where you have several open at the same time. Focus-follows-the-mouse is slow and broken. Most of my favorite configuration options are gone. Clicking a second time on the terminal button brings up the first terminal, not a second one.

I'm waiting for 11.10 on the rest of my machines, but considering switching from Ubuntu.

Osama Dead. Does it mean anything positive to us. Nothing. Just Nothing. - Osama is not living in a forest, but a mansion..say it again with me..a fucking big mansion at a stone's throw away from a military academy in Pakistan. - This mansion is located in a colony of retired Pakistani military officers. - And last but not the least, al-Qaeda is not just Osama. In fact it now looks more evident that al-Qaeda is operated by ISI itself. God knows how many terrorists are still harbored in Pakistan. We know for the fact that the ones who attacked Mumbai are there. And we know that Dawood Ibrahim is living in a even bigger mansion in the same Pakistan. (For the uninformed, Javed Miandad's son and Dawood Ibrahim's daughter are married sometime back). Do you feel like asking "Can India do the same thing as US did today?" Now, that's what I call a joke. Go ahead and watch Obama putting a smug face and praising Pakistan's support in this operation.
I can imagine everyone in the government, knowing that the announcement was imminent were happily let fly with the information.
