The benchmarks would probably be somewhat misleading in a lot of cases here. I'm fairly certain that most compilers will replace a /2 with >>1 for example, so that isn't really going to end up being reflected when you compile it.

The PDF with the MD5 9e72e26916c20481a1f6e4781fd4d505 predates the announcement. This was, also, the only copy I could find, except for a docx version that's probably identical. It was also the copy linked to in Anders Behring Breivik's wikipedia article.

I am not a lawyer, but I completely disagree when estoppel is taken into consideration[1]. Sun publicly endorsed Google's implementation of Java and there is probably plenty of evidence it endorsed it privately as well.

There is a reason a CEO doesn't just spout off whatever he wants without consulting a lawyer. Especially on company letterhead which is what the Sun Blog amounts to these days. If it was a mistake it should have been retracted. But it wasn't, so maybe it wasn't a mistake in the eyes of the law.

And yes, if a film's rights holder gives explicit or even implicit endorsement of people watching the film through piracy, as did Michael Moore [2], that does protect you from him suing you for pirating it. You don't need a license contract to tell you it's OK.

Twilio is frequently aggressive with describing how much work integration is. Literally, yeah, you can ring a phone in one line of code but you really don't want to. It starts getting powerful when you can push full features - tested, with UI/UX, production-ready - in about a day, and you could write a telephony business in about a month, from scratch. Those aren't exaggerations in the slightest.

See my upcoming free guide on productizing Twilio apps for why using the sample code in a live environmwnt is almost always a vewwwwwwy bad idea.
You should not forget about compatibility, i.e. make sure the site works across various browsers and platforms. Why I'm talking about this? I can't use the lt/gt arrows to view more examples. The compatibility problem translates as an usability problem to the user.

There was an article that did well on Hacker News a few months ago that said while high contrast is good, it shouldn't be 100% contrast. Instead, you should very slightly hint toward the theme color. So if you have a bluish background, your text could be #112 or something. I've followed the advice since and it definitely makes things easier on the eye vs #000 everywhere.

As others have said, summer is the problem. Even in the fairly chilly parts of the world where people live, one typically doesn't need to heat ones home in the summer. At least not much, and only on unseasonably cold days. However, people still need year-round hot water for washing themselves and their posessions.

That said, I doubt that the summer domestic requirement for hot water is anything like the possible output of an economically scaled data furnace.

Instead, I'd suggest heating municipal or club swimming pools and preheating water or air for showers, hammams and saunas at spas and leisure centres. These need year-round heating, even in warmer parts of the world.

Another possibility would be to house datacentres in areas of high population density, and pipe warm water from there to nearby homes and businesses. Just like the District Heating Schemes of urban power stations.

Both of these latter solutions fix the security, access, and last-mile problems. They can also even out the seasonal demand problem by not attempting to provide all the heat and hot water.

Both font size and line height are smaller for comments and list items. Are you saying you prefer more line height (without font size change)? Or do you generally prefer both line height and font size in lists/comments to be identical to body text? Or perhaps something half way in between, with line height just nudged up a little but not as much as body text?

I really appreciate the feedback - thanks.
FWIW, I've read NYT in everything ranging from BB OS 4.5 browser on a Pearl 8100 (woo 2007!) to Opera Mobile 11 on a 7" tablet and it was some of the best experiences I've had on mobile devices. Kudos to any and all involved in its creation.

I am mostly on your side. I wrote a rant a while back too: http://peterc.org/blog/2010/235-webkit-font-smoothing-antial...

However, since then I acknowledge there is an instance where it does make sense.. any text on black. In OS X, at least, the default rendering of type on a black background bleeds horribly, so I've swallowed my pride and started to use it in situations where it makes sense. It's particularly noticeable with Helvetica, I've found.
I wish they'd concentrate on making a browser that does not need to be restarted after every hour or 2 of browsing lest it become more and more unresponsive.

Amen, brother. I have been a Mozilla / Firefox / Seamonkey / etc. fanboy for years, but even I finally gave up and moved to using Chrome primarily, and it was mainly due to that very problem. For years now they've battled memory issues (I say "issues" since they continue to insist that there aren't any "leaks" per-se) that kill performance... one release will work great, then the next release, it's back to more of the same... next release, things get better... another release, and it's time for a RAM upgrade again... it's like they seem to be totally incapable of truly, finally, getting a handle on the memory usage situation. :-(
A Mac user and no mention of Quicksilver?
Perhaps Apple is interested in publishing some software linked against the client libraries.

The MySQL client libraries are GPL, which is very restrictive for a client library. I think that even the commercial vendors' licenses for client libraries are less restrictive.

On my Firefox at that resolution the last line of the quoted text is guillotined. My feeling is the text should display without requiring the user to do anything. I am sure this is a minor bug, but my experience is the fix sometimes is slow and cumbersome.

I think it's more like "tough love" than hate. If I bitch about Firefox, it's because I want to love Firefox, but I can't. That pisses me off. If I didn't care about it, like the way I don't care about Safari or Konqueror, or Opera, I wouldn't talk about it, like I never talk about Safari or Konqueror, or Opera.
That's pretty much 95% of the posts on UsesThis. Which I wrote off at first as being elitist, but the more top tier developers you meet the more you realize that it is actually the norm. The interesting thing is that for those not using a Apple laptop are always on a Lenovo.

I'm working on a infographic, or something along those lines, that shows a breakdown of what it used on UsesThis, but the pie charts are going to mostly be Apple flavored.
"Still, his actions make it necessary to repeal all of his arguments and assumptions."

Really? James Watson and William Shockley both said very unpopular things about race. Shockley advocated a policy of sterilizing lower class black people. Should we repeal all use and knowledge of DNA and semiconductors?

Even if Shockley started killing black people as stage one eugenics, his actions would have absolutely no impact on his ideas. None.

One explanation could be that most people find that the pain of losing a set amount of money is greater in magnitude than the joy of making that same amount of money.

Also, it's simply political. When you have shareholders who all hold different beliefs and levels of risk-aversion, things get messy.

I actually graduated from the U of C! I think this is a great stand to take. I know a lot of Professors had been posting things online as a workaround (which obviously has been the blight of AC) and I always greatly appreciated this as it cut down on textbook fees. The really great professors were using free material to teach in their lecture halls (I don't know what that says about the education I was given but meh, free != crap).

The one thing I don't like about this stand is that by going directly to the source and cutting out the middle man the University is giving tremendous power to it's professors. I think there will be a lot more professor-authors doing the lecturing circuit. Don't get me wrong sometimes it's wonderful to have such a great resource, but from my experience most of the professors who plugged their own works were just self-serving and thought of this "workaround" as a way to make them richer rather than our level of education.

...etc... Guess Google shouldn't be writing an OS either?

I have three points with this post. My first is that, despite the extremely good marketing, Chrome has faults just like any other large piece of software. The point is that they have good engineers on the problems. So does Mozilla.

My second is claim is that a Firefox-based solution is good for the web. Even if it isn't as successful as Android, it will open up the web more! Android is a farce of open source (I cannot get the kernel code running on my phone. That is a blatant GPL violation. Nobody is doing anything about it. I cannot get the Android userland code running on my tablet. That is just not open source.) At the moment, Android is scarcely more open than iOS.

My last claim is that many of the "memory leaks" in Firefox are either caching--memory which is not being used is memory which is being wasted--and those which are truly memory leaks tend to be from binary extensions. The new extension SDK should mitigate this, since it is sandboxed JS code instead, from what I understand (disclaimer: i do not work on the extension API, nor do I write extensions, and I could by way off here.)

It's really quite simple, and in a sense I don't think big companies are behaving irrationally:

It's really hard to judge the potential of odd, creative people. There's a million people running around who talk like Steve Jobs did decades ago. Think about all the idea-people and 'mavens' you know.

I'm sorry but this "study" doesn't exist because it isn't true. The best purchasers and moviegoers may also be pirates, but overall the movie and music industry would be making more money if it weren't for rampant pirating.

I read a thread in Reddit the other day about this topic and there were a few people who thought pirating has caused them to make extra purchases (try before you buy). However, many more of the responses were opposite and some had completely stopped buying CDs, renting DVDs and going to the theater. So if one person rents a DVD every week and now pirates, there would have to be someone who rented 50 MORE DVDs (or purchased) than they would have had there been no pirating options.

I agree there probably is a correlation between people who pirate heavily and people who purchase (because they're probably fanatics). However, I don't believe that they're heavy purchasers BECAUSE of pirating but would probably purchase even more if they didn't have the option to pirate.
The problem with paying rewards for prior art is that it discourages community collaboration, finding prior art is a mix of inspiration and perspiration and by incentivizing everyone to work alone it actually substantially decreases the chance of building a strong prior art case.
You should find Meetup groups (based in NYC) for whatever technology stack you work with and ask around there.
