That sounds remarkable indeed; can you point to an online reference that has more info on this? thanks.
A paper-thin wrapper around OpenGL is what the game-devs want. They don't want to be straight-jacketed into one game or rendering engine.

Also, OpenGL isn't that low-level anymore. It is the API that the GPU speaks, and with recent developments the client can be much less 'chatty'. Do as much as possible from shaders and on the GPU itself. We've gone far beyond "do a call per vertex".

As for hope, yes I have more "faith" in Google/Mozilla to improve cross-platform javascript performance and memory issues than I have in Oracle or Adobe to improve theirs.

Who Should Lead Linux?
1. Indian IT Services and Consulting companies (Infy,Wipro,TCS,Cognizant,Mahindra,HCL and 100 more) have engineering work which is as good as any of their counter parts in the world. This is proven by reshift in the delivery pie in the last decade. So, by saying these jobs are useless you are discrediting the whole of the IT services and consulting industry jobs across the world which include IBM, Accenture, Capgemeni, HP.

2. We are talking about product focussed companies and services focussed companies in the IT space. But both the types of companies have the other offering. It is the proportion of their revenues which varies. IT Companies keep shifting their portfolio of products and services based on market need - Infosys 3.0 is an example. So generalizing job nature on a company basis based on ones experience only is point less.

3. IT Services/ITO and consulting industry generates a business revenues of US$595 billion across the world, this includes the services divisions of product companies. All product revenues put together is about $250 billion. So if every guy would work for only IT product focussed companies there would not be enough jobs.

4. There are people who write articles, whine and complain, quit and go. Choose the easy way out. Then, there are people who work to improve and make it better, lead society to a better world. Latter ones are the leaders and have been received accolades in the history.
I'm not keenly familiar with Wordpress API, but it doesn't look like it. From their documentation it looks like a pretty standard ACL.

With ACL you usually push permissions into the list when you load a new module/plugin. With functional approach, client-side code only queries permissions, never writes them.

That's not the only difference, but it's the biggest one.

I would posit that if you choose to use C it is because you want to micromanage performance (kernel, strict hardware constraints, etc) and therefore do not want GC, and if your environment is compatible with GC, you may as well go further to C# or Java or another high-level language that gives you even more goodies.

While Optimizely is strictly A/B testing, VWO is a much more comprehensive testing tool. In addition to A/B testing, we support Multivariate testing, Split URL testing, Heatmap/Clickmap, Targeting/Segmentation and Revenue Tracking. VWO is being used by companies that have sophisticated and comprehensive testing needs (like AMD, Microsoft, Groupon, etc. and thousands of SMBs)

That said Optimizely may be slightly easier to use but with VWO our focus is on both: comprehensiveness of feature set _AND_ ease of use. Since both companies offer free trials, best is to signup for both of them and see which one is better suited to your needs.
I will tell you it's most important weakness.

Its templates suck hard.

Seriously. Open a recent version of Microsoft Office or Apple iWork and just start writing some letter or presentation. Chances are, it will look quite pleasant, if a bit generic.
Do the same thing in OpenOffice/LibreOffice and it will look like a document in Word Perfect ca. 1995.

This is not to say that OpenOffice is not capable of producing nice-looking documents. Technologically, it is perfectly fine. But the templates are awful and sadly, that is what most people will notice when you give them a document written in OpenOffice.

Also, the GUI could use a bit work. LibreOffice is a step in the right direction, but it still looks a bit boring and clunky compared to its proprietary brothers. Case in point, my mother 'got' iWork Pages and MS Word after a short introduction. She might not know about all features, but she could find them and use them once we pointed out there existence to her. But over the course of about six months, we were unable to get her to use OpenOffice proficiently.
RingCentral is pretty solid. The web interface is bad but the service itself is solid, good feature set and reliability.

"You have fewer rights with ebooks than you do with real books." You may have fewer legal rights but you have more options and control, as long as the ebooks are pirated! Pirated books can be obtained anonymously, copied freely, and they cannot be revoked. Just as with software and DVDs, the pirated version is actually better than the for-pay version.
That's hardly surprising, because there is no bank or company involved to hold accountable.

We use OpenOffice at work. Aside what the others said, it has horrible automatiritis, worse that old Word versions.

Example: I have a "Heading 1" style at 20pt, bold, italic. Start a new line at the end of a document, choose "Heading 1", OOo decides to make it 20pt, bold, but not italic. No idea why. Style setting is correct. Only fix is manually adding italic markup to the text.
It happens with Amazon videos and the iTunes one also..not available outside the US!
Well obviously not actually a 'last resort', but something which I will try if I fail to get where I want to be.
Another example of the intentional hype around Bitcoin, made by the holders of Bitcoins, designed to increase interest, and therefore the value of their existing Bitcoins. We are being conned, and spammed.

1. On the surface, it's false -- or else the blind cannot create. Rand has few good words for people who are not ISO humans. This is not as clear in Atlas Shrugged, but is more evident in her non-fiction, and I disapprove of it.

A quick Google search brings up:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vJoaWa-kWQ

2. Quoting Rand signals, if not acceptance, approval for her general thesis. It is a good thesis in so far as it romanticizes (in her technical sense of the word, see _The Romantic Manifesto_) the ability of humans to produce great things. It is a bad thesis in so far as it blames those who cannot produce great things -- for any reason -- for "enslaving" those of the previous class.

The LPC1768 is quite popular and you should never have problems with stock. I got started with a $30 development board from NGX (google "1768 blueboard") paired with a $30 USB jtag programmer from the same store. The older LPC2148 was also quite popular for hobbyists, but it's ARM7 not CM3.

Since I was more interested in learning the micro then screwing around with toolchains, I just spent the money and got a personal license for Rowley Crossworks ($150). It took me under an hour to go from software installation to flashing an LED, so I'm pretty happy with that decision.

1) To answer that fully we will need to dig into what is a factual statement. I would gladly discuss the nature of facts but don't find this to to be the forum.

But my basic believe is that facts are true in context. Relative not objective. Facts (reductional interpretations of reality) are described from the vantage point of the observer. We can experience what we call reality in a certain way but not in all possible ways.

And that is all fine and good. We don't need true, just useful.

2) We evaluate them within the different clusters we live in. There are people who believe that holocaust never happened. There are people who believe that 9/11 was orchestrated by the US. Most people though believe the same things. World War I broke out in the year 1914.

That does not by any metrics mean that that is a true statement. You could very well argue that it broke out way before that. Cause I take it you agree that people didn't wake up one day in the year 1914 and thought, let's have a war.

The coherent sets of beliefs used to be mainly cultural now they'r exposed on the internet. And people form around various perspectives. So you have clusters of perspectives. That is why you have what seem to be agreement on those perspectives.

That is why there aren't anyone claiming that the Alpha Centaurions secretly invaded the planet to initiate I or II WW. It could be true but there is nothing factual (and again I refer you to 1) ) to construct that belief.

There are however many other conflicting and competing view. Less about the factual parts (D-Day) more about the meaning of that day. The factual parts are not really that interesting and they are certainly not important. Only to the people who actually where around at that time.

As long as you know that it happened 6 June 1944 +- a couple of days or months (with time and as the people who lived at that time dies, the accepted +- span will grow ever bigger) you are ok.

3) Again you are confusing two things here. There are factual statements (that might or might not be true and again I refer you to 1) and then there is the interpretation of these facts. I am more concerned with the latter part than the first.

4) There is nothing big in that claim. I would be happy to discuss this further but not here. Kuhn, Lakatos, Feyrabend have all done a fairly good job at describing some of the problems with believing in objective truths. I have my own views. We can discuss but then we should find a place to take it. Hmm maybe there is even a small side project idea there.

1. US dollars in cash has a serial number on it, the government can trace it easily because they could ask banks for the certain serial numbers to report it as a blacklist(easy, they are automatic OCR machines for it).

2.Cash is becoming less and less important, the gov prefer the credit card electronic version when people tell everything they buy(when,where and what) to the gov. Electronic currency is the future because of convenience so they do not want people to break free from the Gob(BTW as they were in the past).

3. There is no limit in the number of Bitcoins you could use before being controlled,as there are with cash.

4. There is no limit in the number of US dollars the gov can print to dilute them as they are with Bitcoins.

5. US dollars are losing value, Bitcoins are getting more appreciated.
Most of them get their own page eventually. The limiting factor is just engineer-time; a backlog tends to develop when there're a bunch of interactive doodles in a row, because the engineer(s) in question are too busy working on the next doodle to put the previous one up.

I know how to do it and currently have nothing to do on my real project, so maybe tomorrow I'll ask the engineers in question if they mind me putting up standalone versions of some of the backlogged doodles.

If you want to give something like that a go, then a good place to start is by modifying or adding to an existing compiler. It will give you some exposure to other peoples code too and a good place to start - you'll always have something with tangible results.

Either that or read op on writing interpreters. They can be amazingly simple...

Interestingly, the report mentions that none of the authors knew Javascript before they started.

I may have an Idea: could we try to bootsrap lojban by writing something akin to Guy Steele's growing a language? Or is lojban so orthogonal that expressing most of its words and grammar in terms of a smaller kernel is impossible?

I think you should work and develop a working prototype of your idea. Having an idea and bring it to prototype stage is just the beginning. Even when you are have a working prototype, you have no idea whether users will buy in the product or not, and actually pay for it. Without a working prototype, it is tough to any traction or mention on it.

With all these ground work undone, dun think you want to bringing in a business person to help.

Whoever says something like "technology X will never catch up to technology Y" has no understanding of disruptive technologies and how they can affect incumbent ones in the long term.

Does it matter if ARM chips never catch up to Intel's most high-end chips? Of course not. But that's irrelevant. All ARM chips need is to get enough performance to become mainstream, and to be used by mainstream OS's (not necessarily Windows), and then chase Intel into a (higher-end) corner for the professional/specialized market that needs much higher performance.

It's the same with the web. All it needs is to get "good enough" for most apps. It doesn't have to beat native apps at everything.

"We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land, and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be."
