Yes. If you have digits only, you get a freetext field, but with the digits only keypad.

Even more fun: if you give a four-digit passcode for the non-simple passcode, it turns on the 'simple passcode' option again, which means that you can't have a four-digit passcode without telling the length of the code.

We've been aware of how slow CF is on Windows CE for a while. Here are some benchmarks we have run:

CuWin 3500, CE5, NS Basic/CE 8
NS Basic/CE: 26529 loops/second
Microsoft .NET: 133 loops/second

Acer beTouch E101 Windows Mobile 6.5, 528 mhz, NS Basic/CE 8.0
NS Basic/CE: NS Basic/CE: 16669 loops/second
Microsoft .NET: 3060 loops/second

CuWin 5500, CE6, NS Basic/CE 8
NS Basic/CE: 14394 loops/second
Microsoft .NET: 764 loops/second

i-mate 400mhz, WM5, NS Basic/CE 8.0
NS Basic/CE: 12632 loops/second
Microsoft .NET: 1290 loops/second

Running the same test under NS Basic/App Studio, an iPhone 4 scores 282,674, Nexus One is 403,000 and the Motorola Xoom is 718,484. Plainly, Windows CE.NET has a long way to go!
Google and Mozilla have both stated intentions to get rid of the address bar; the number of users that will even see IDNs is a shrinking market. Rather than "typing strange stuff into the address bar", in a year or two most people will be "typing native stuff into a search box" -- if they aren't already.

This move by ICANN is already irrelevant.
New VC fund turns to designers, not developers
He did not say if optimizations were turned on for the debug builds, and I'm not familiar enough with Visual C++ to know what the defaults are. You can still have DEBUG defined so that asserts are compiled in when optimizations are on. However, looking at the results, I suspect optimizations were turned off, which makes those results meaningless.
Why has http://lulzsecurity.com not been seized?
I wasn't commenting on the technical underpinnings -- I'm sure it solves an implementation problem well, but as a user, the fact that the entire page is being scrolled with JavaScript does not matter. I was commenting on the user interface, which does not make sense to me.

There are essentially two use cases here, conflated into one experience. The first use case is when a photo has a long body text which needs to be scrolled. Clearly, your scrolling mechanism solves that problem, although I was unnerved by the fact that it does not visually indicate how long the scrolled text was (something traditionally solved with a scroll bar).

Unfortunately, this same UI solution is forced upon the second use case, when the photo has a short body text which does not need to be scrolled. In this case, your system provides scrolling even when it's not needed; moving the tiny text box up or down does offer anything in terms of functionality. It merely delays the scrolling, and forces me to swipe several times to get anywhere.

As for the horizontal scrolling, it does not integrate well with the text box. The text box disappears (abruptly and confusingly) when you side-swipe. Then it appears again (equally abruptly) if you touch the screen. And here's where it gets super weird:

If you side-swipe, and then swipe down (as in, "I'm done with looking at this series of photos, now I'd like to navigate downwards to the next series of photos", the text box appears (again, abruptly) and hijacks the scrolling mechanism. The text box wasn't there when I decided to start scrolling, but it appears and then forces me to scroll the box. Sorry, that's just bad UI design.

These UI issues exist because you've conflated text scrolling with photo navigation. It would be a lot nicer if the text box stayed in place, always. When the text exceeds the boundaries of the box, provide a scrollbar to let the box scroll.

Finally: The reason I used the phrase "truly innovative" is because your scrolling mechanism apparently tries to innovate something, by introducing a new kind of UI for photo navigation, something I think it fails to do. I was merely comparing it to something that actually works.

The reason it is not "done right" is because it is really hard to do right with the existing tools. Diabetes is a bitch. 5+ blood samples a day, 4+ insulin injections per day, every day. You can't ever miss one. Hungover? Too bad. Sick? Double the tests. If you miss one you either pass out (low) or feel like crap (high). Anything that can help with the regimen is appreciated. I'm looking forward to what they have to say.

Exactly! it's just nonsense peddled by those who don't understand the technical aspects of search, people who don't realize that a search engine's prime function is to filter the millions of results for each query to down to the most relevant results for the users, and not the same 10 results are relevant to each and every user.

And user regardless of nay personalization can dig through any initial results.

It's just annoying an ignorant bullshit being disguised as a real issue.
The results seem conclusive: if you're developing software for the desktop, and (like me) you are equally skilled in C# and C++, it's safe to take advantage of the simpler syntax, rich standard libraries, stellar IntelliSense and reduced development effort that C# offers.

With the glaring exception of numeric code, which is the most crucial thing for a lot of apps that are now written in C++. You'd be crazy to write a native CRUD app in C++ now but most of the big C++ apps I can think of do heavy work in numerics (Photoshop, Ableton, Maya, etc).

It's beautiful, Joe. Thank you.
I'm gonna humbly disagree. There are many potential ranking factors in a search result: how well the query matches the document text, how important that text is in the document, how important the document is (PR) and so on. What I don't necessarily want is further ordering by what a machine thinks is my political inclination or world view.
1) For Australia you have 2 options for long-term stay:

- Your wife comes in under a student visa, and you + your baby come in as her dependents. If you do this option you will be able to work full time, but actually getting the student visa this way is expensive; your wife needs to demonstrate existing financial capacity to support herself and all her dependents.

Upon receiving her PhD your wife can apply for PR

- You and/or your wife come in under the skilled migration program, which you can get if your skills match the Skilled Occupation List. There are different visa subclasses (e.g. sponsored by an employer) but the gist is the same.

The student visa is processed quickly but is expensive (they will check your bank statements).

The skilled migration visa is much slower, so if you're thinking of coming over in 2 years time, you should be applying for this visa NOW.

2) There are absolutely PhD programs in Australia, a dozen of my colleagues in Sydney have PhDs and I know more students currently working on their thesis / research paper. You do your PhD research under an advisor. It would be rare for a professor in any Australian university to NOT have a PhD. I'm baffled by this point actually.

3) One way would be to get a job at a multinational, then get an 'internal' transfer to the US. At my last job (New York-based company with an office in Sydney) we got a lot of Americans coming this way.

If you were just poking around looking at available jobs visit Seek.com.au - it is the dominant job search website in Australia. There are others (CareerOne, MyCareer) but almost all the job ads you see there you'll see on Seek.
No more than I expect them to return stolen property. If I had a large amount of bitcoins, I'd probably want to insure them, or at least keep the private key in a secure location, such as in a security deposit box.

The police act as a deterrent, and make it more difficult to offload stolen bitcoins without being caught.
You might think that now, but check out some gameplay videos on YouTube and I suspect you will change your mind.

DDG is quite good in regular search. I like their commitment to privacy and so switched my default search engine to DDG. But I noticed more and more that I use google maps almost as much search. I search for places and directions on maps end up going to google a lot. That is brilliance of Google. They built search verticals and so its tough to not use them. If only DDG could do something about that.
This is a reason why (to some extent) you should let users dictate your marketing for you. What I mean by that is to avoid touting yourself as this mega awesome site and just sort of go with the flow. Your users, if they exist, will take care of getting the word out. Doing things like this is cheap and not representative of a company that's interested in their own success. Also, the whole "Facebook" killer thing? Why has it become common practice for new social networks to have to "kill" their competitors? If they were truly intelligent, they'd develop some feature as the core of their service that Facebook lacks and then put that at the forefront. This, though, isn't helpful and doesn't draw any interest toward the product.

I have heard that you can expect a 10-15% difference in most cases. However, it seems that there are just some arenas that C# wont quite measure up. I'm thinking multimedia applications would not scale well. Mainly because there is no way via Microsoft's .NET implementation to access SSE or other processor intrinsics. I know that mono announced that this a year or two ago, anyone have experience with it?

We are working on integrating OpenStreetMap, and just yesterday launched some upgrades, e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Valley+Forge%2C+PA or https://duckduckgo.com/?q=black+lab+bistro (map in right column expands to view). This goes with address detection (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=3+ames+st%2C+boston%2C+ma) and you can always force an OSM query by adding map to the end. And of course adding !gm will take you right to Google Maps.
The animation is glitchy on an iPad 1, and it doesn't feel anything like the native UIScrollView's paging support. It's sort of acceptable enough for a web page, but it's not a replacement for a native UIScrollView.
Just add !gm to your query. If you do it a few times, DDG will remember it and make it easy to add !gm just by pushing ! to open the dropdown.

I would put languages into classes, in the sense that if you can program in one language of this class, you can program the others. You won't be efficient or idiomatic, but you will be able to program.

* Python, Ruby, Javascript

* C#, Java

* Haskell, Ocaml, F#

* Forth, PostScript, Factor

* Lisp, Scheme, Dylan, Pliant

* C++

* C, Assembly

You'll need one of each, although you can do very well with just C + Python.

Hard to say if just filing a patent on this is a sign of any sinister intent but I do agree with his earlier argument that Apple has placed its bets on the big content cartels and the iPad is a delivery device for the products of such. You could argue that iTunes has made self-publishing easier than before but if you actually shop in the iTunes store all you're ever going to see is Justin Bieber and American Idol and other major label garbage unless you already know what you're looking for. Don't forget that Steve is on the board of Disney.

Maybe it's slightly less user-friendly but a less centralized net is healthier and more interesting in the long run.

I should clarify a bit. I think that contemporary FPS need real-time game server logic. When I saw link title I thought they finally ported some game code to Erlang.

All stuff you mentioned has nothing to do with game logic.

It does not require hard real-time response like one required from network game server.

And yes, I already know that I could use Erlang for non-hard-real-time tasks.

It isn't anglocentrism. It is that English is the language of science and diplomacy. If this whole crazy thing had started in the 18th or 19th centuries it would have been in French or German. If you want to communicate to the world in scientific literature, you publish in English. I think that this spilled over into technology for obvious reasons. You can argue owe the merits of this, but having a common lingua Franca (if you will) was important to bootstrap the Internet. Now that it is more commonplace, it is important to support more languages. But if we had started out supporting everything, it might not have gained traction. Or it would have balkanized and been multiple networks separated by language. (which is what we might get anyway)

Shame on DDG for endorsing this nonsense.

I understand the quest for a larger userbase but please don't use this sort of FUD that is being peddled by those who don't understand the technical aspects of search and are trying to sell their books.

A search engine's prime function is to filter the millions of results for each query down to the most relevant results for each individual user, and never the same 10 results are relevant to each and every user.

There is little difference between personalization and the relevance of search results.

How would you go about ranking then? alphabetically?! it's a matter of tuning the relevance 'dials' and it's all in early stages so a solution to this imaginary problem is more research and not to hide behind bullshit terminology.

And as a bonus a user (regardless of any personalization) can dig through any initial set of results if she seeks more information.

So please don’t buy into this misleading and ignorant bullshit that is being disguised as a real issue.

> But .aero may come in handy the next time someone wants to start a new airline

The problem is that ICANN has already set it up so that if you have the trademark on "flying.com" that nobody can get "flying.aero" (well they can, but you can take it off them easily). So why would you even bother with the .aero domain unless you own the .com too?

This is simply a money grab by ICANN.
Very well then - apply the terminology that is more correct; rinse and repeat. I think the key point is recognising that there is inherent capability and there is behaviour, and we are each capable ot greater or more foolish behaviour at various times.
Are we applying for .hacker or .yc? it'd be cool to be able to identify all yc companies instantly by domain.
The "X killer" thing is media reaction though, especially of open source projects, rather than necessarily a goal of the project.

I doubt the people working on tmux have "killing screen" as one of their priorities (or even one of their cares). They wanted something that worked differently, and decided that going from scratch rather than using the screen codebase (either because they didn't like the code, or for licensing reasons, or they though they' be touching so much of the existing code that it would just be cleaner to start from scratch, or some combination of the above) was preferable.

It'll take a lot to replace screen, but given it offers features in its stable branch that screen doesn't have or only has in beta (the horizontal splitting talked about since ~2009 has been in beta since then) and is available standard in OpenBSD and probably optionally in every recent Liunx distribution, I can see tmux taking over some of screen's mindshare. I'm told tmux has noticeably lower memory requirements too, though will only make a difference to users who are working with very small environments like cheap VPSs on over-sold hosts or embedded environments, as screen isn't that much of a monster to start with.

FYI: I'll be sticking with screen (via byobu where available) as I know it, it works and is stable (I've not had it hang/error/crash any time in the last <more-than-a-few> years) and it is very widely available.
