Do you think if it is possible that Opera could do some cleanup of its product lines? There were some successful things, such as Opera Mail client. But there is a lot of unused gadgets.
It would be great if Opera had some statistics about usage of specific features. I personally don't know anyone using bittorent, widgets, unite.

>an early worker kill is going to grow exponentially all game long.

That's a very unrealistic claim, though yes, losing a worker very early can have a measurable effect. But that pretty much never happens, outside of all-in cheeses like 6 pool or proxy 2 rax/gate.

Are you defending the original claim that games are decided over affecting 1% of one's opponents economy?
The future of CA trust: DigiNotar breach consequences
A claim for which I would love to see data, anyway. I am in southern Taiwan, but usually see IE on the desktop and iOS/Android default browsers on cellphones. (Or just the respective Facebook app.) Not sure if this site is super legit, but it seems to second my impression:

http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_browser-TW-monthly-201008-...

Is it because the user agent is often faked? (Is it on by default?) Or is it that many people use Opera, but they only use it once a month each?

From watching locals use the iPad/iPhone, there is nothing wrong with Mobile Safari for Chinese either. It's just that many websites use Flash mouseover crap for navigation, or WMV movies or even ActiveX. But Opera wouldn't help there.
We don't want Opera to stop innovating though. They seem (!) to have driven a lot of the innovations over the last decade that I've found useful.

FWIW I don't use Op on the desktop, primarily because I've become entrenched with FF since moving to it for web dev tools some time ago, but on phone and tablet I find Opera far better than other offerings.
I know what you mean. A friend of mine is trying desperately to stay, but unless she can get a job that will sponsor her, she'll get tossed out after her studies are finished.

He's saying that if the rich are spending more of their money in the economy then we should be giving them even more tax breaks so they could spend even more in the economy.

Probably the reason you didn't get what he meant was because it's utterly nonsensical.
About 2: this sounds like what Firefox calls bookmark keywords (keywords have a feature beyond just being a textual shortcut to a bookmark: they can take an argument if you include %s in the bookmark they point to [Firefox calls these keyword searches, since obviously it's mostly used for search engines]). I used to use them a lot, but now just rely on instant history and bookmark search.
“The Internet would be better if we had an accurate notion that you were a real person as opposed to a dog, or a fake person, or a spammer.” - Eric Schmidt

There are no dogs posting on the internet and there's no such thing as a "fake person". That leaves real people and spammers. There are lots of tools to filter out spam and you mostly see spam on websites that are just not using any of them.

So, if that's really the argument Google's chairman has for abandoning anonymity and pseudonymity on the internet, can't we all just move on now and not pretend that "real names" policies are anything other than sheer demonstrations of dominance by these services and politicians?
Sometimes I wish I had access to these resources 15 years ago when I was just a little kid and was wondering what a function was and why we want to have them. Yup, I started with Fortran and spaghetti code ;)
Yup. Never really been upset by the teal/orange thing in movies, but in CSI everything looks like they've let a first-year cinematography student go wild on it. And even so, I wouldn't say it looks ugly, it's just a cheezy effect.
I didn't see it as advocating the use of the buttons just as presenting the possibility. Presumably they keep consistent buttons across the site and probably they have other button demos?

A big reason to use GWT, from what I've heard, is code sharing between client and server code (for example, data validation).

Steve Jobs Would Never Invest in a Y Combinator Startup
We can crack things today that were considered impossible (aka "not in our lifetime") 10 years ago. Why would anyone think that 10 more years wouldn't bring this again? Quantum computing is looking more and more likely, with progress almost every month now.

Sure, today they couldn't crack it... But this data has ramifications for many years to come. It should never have been gathered together and put in a public place.

Behind the government's firewalls, it was protected by an ever-changing system. If things get easier to crack, they can upgrade it. As a simple file, it can never be changed. It will also be there.

And finally, security experts will tell you that one of the easiest ways to crack something is the human factor. That password is written down somewhere, and wikileaks isn't a fort. Hackers could have gotten that password from wikileaks without them knowing.

So no, I don't think I do underestimate it.

The HR folk are there to do the exit interview, summarize the information, and provide a report to senior management. It's senior management that will evaluate and take action, if any. How you can help is to provide a written statement, in advance. This will be forwarded with the HR department's summary. If there is concern raised, your prior boss's supervisor will be notified and will have both the HR department's assessment and your written statement.

When mobile web developers see what's possible with native apps and how successful they are, what do they do? They try to clone them in typical "webapp-uber-alles" fashion, instead of building quality mobile websites.
And that's why I have to look at dumbed down iOS-clone UIs while trying to browse a website from my phone.

By the way, I have just looked at jquerymobile.com from an iPhone 4 and the UX is unresponsive, showing the checkerboard pattern, flickering and so on. Not something that I'd want more web developers to be aware of. I would want more developers to be aware of web standards and good design, not JavaScript hacks.
I think it isn't so much about the technology lagging behind, but more about understanding on how to best use the web technologies on mobile, and probably libraries packaging this understanding into easy to use format.

Think of the "AJAX boom" of around 2005. XmlHttpRequest had been around since late 90s, but only then mainstream developers understood the potential for building more responsive web applications.

Important Considerations For Your Online Communication Strategy
Many businesses often join the social media wave without taking the time to consider the full implications of doing so. Who can actually blame them though? The past two years have seen the popularity of social media networks from a business perspective. With Twitter attracting millions of users on a daily basis and Facebook pushing forward its fantastic Facebook Page feature, it is no surprise that every business eventually realized that they had to capitalize on these to remain competitive. In fact, given the audience of these websites, it is downright foolish for any organization to ignore such an opportunity.
Here's why $0.03 per passenger mile is not unreasonable. The automobile is one of the most energy-inefficient modes of transportation out there and it costs about $0.40 per mile, per vehicle. That's $0.10 per passenger mile for a family of four. On the most expensive, dangerous, environmentally costly common mode of transportation out there.

There's no good reason why trains should be less efficient than the car. None at all. That gives us a starting point, which should be easy to beat, of $0.10 per passenger per mile for a 75 mph train.

Now, most costs in transportation are labor costs, so it stands to reason (below the sound barrier) that what things "should" cost (excluding fuel) can be measured on a per-hour basis. Travel at 300 mph should be cheaper, for this reason-- perhaps not 4 times cheaper because energy costs increase, but definitely 3.

That's what's counter-intuitive here: slow travel is more expensive, in terms of what it actually costs the provider, than fast travel because it sucks up more employee time.

Realistically, $0.05 per passenger mile would be a substantial accomplishment. I would be happy to see that. The Category 5 embarrassment is that we're not even trying.
I'm happily using Backbone.js on several projects on the client side, including with VIE: https://github.com/bergie/VIE

One of the cool things is that Backbone models and views can be quite easily used also on the server-side with Node.js. In some applications both sides use the same models, with Backbone.sync being the difference - on client you communicate with AJAX, on server you communicate with a custom database connector.

I'm using Backbone at work to refactor a big project and the one thing I can tell is that I'm writting a lot of code.

It's coming to be very organized, but it makes the LOC bigger.

Also for starters I suggest that you have a look at some dependency management library like requireJS, if your code base its going to be big, you better get started with dependency management.

Good luck!
These sound great, and do you know the best thing about his idea? There probably already is one in your town. It's called a library.

Seriously, they provide almost everything on his list: socialising spaces, quiet reading areas, computers, free wifi, book ordering, cafes and bibliophile events. And interestingly, they are paid for by membership fees (if you squint, government-run libraries make everyone a member and pay a fee via general taxation). These government-run libraries would make it quite hard to run a similar thing as a business. That's probably okay, because a library is somewhere between a merit and a public good (a quasi-public good).

It seems to me, that you and Eric imply, that we are a spoiled generation. If so, I agree.

Marketing is probably a major issue for Opera. I suggest Opera and people have never heard of it most of the time, or I get a response like, "I don't want a browser that has ads in it." Opera hasn't had ads in their browser for years now. They're basically the untrusted store brand of a commodity people already receive for free.

Another issue for Opera is that 'stability' fluctuates significantly with each release.* I'm talking about how some websites will stop functioning properly. I'll try upgrading to the beta. Sometimes the site I wanted to work will work, and then it's another site that stops working. I always have to use Opera as a complementary browser. Opera will find some new way to freeze or crash as a result of a certain webpage trying to load.

*(This can be attributed to poor web design, but it's just part of the reality of being the underdog that they should pay more attention to this.)
Difficult to summarize, since they talk about more than a dozen topics. I found especially the second part about Eric's experience with politics interesting.

The techniques in mobile web development are still young. A general knowledge of how to build a site for mobile interfaces has not come around yet.

For now, it is understandable that you will see some imitation of successful "app" design patterns, but things can change quite easily. If it turns out that the iOS look is not good for the mobile web experience then things will change.

"By the way, I have just looked at jquerymobile.com from an iPhone 4 and the UX is unresponsive, showing the checkerboard pattern, flickering and so on."

The project is still in beta, and there are still some rough edges. It's an open source project, so the developers and users would greatly appreciate it if you could file a bug report about this issue:

https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues

I did a quick check and I didn't see that your issue has already been reported, so your contribution would be doubly helpful.

"I would want more developers to be aware of web standards and good design, not JavaScript hacks."

I understand your perspective (all developers should definitely know web standards and good design), but, surely, you would agree that there is value in trying to do something a little different? Today's javascript hack may well turn out to be tomorrow's revolution.
HOW IS IT TO HAVE AN AUTO RELOCATION SPECIALIST
I wonder if Seth (or indeed pg, or Ken Robinson, or any of the others who've written similar critiques of industrial-era education) have any alternatives in mind? I agree that teaching kids to sit in neat rows has outlived its usefulness, but at this point I think we can write off that observation as being the low-hanging fruit of educational critique. The important question is: what do we do instead?

I assume nobody's seriously proposing home-schooling, unless they intend to drop their life's work for a decade and a half to become teachers. The Khan Academy is a long way off being a replacement for, say, a decent literacy teacher. So what's being advocated here? Don't send your kids to school at all? Send them there but teach them to treat the whole thing as an ironic schlepp through antiquity?

I, for one, would love to see some treatment of the Montessori method[1] which, although a bit hand-wavy, seems to be based on self-direction and has a promising concurrence with Piaget's developmental research. Or Waldorf/Steiner schools[2], which seem to be a more creative form of education with a focus on art and autonomy.

I don't know nearly enough about those schools and other alternative forms of education to know if they actually work, but if anyone's searching for something to say on education and the new new economy, I sure would appreciate some positive directions rather than more ol' faithful Ford-bashing.

YMMV on this because different models of chips differ, but I found years ago just playing around that many of the more obscure x86 opcodes are actually very slow to execute.

My hypothesis is that because they are obscure and rarely used by compilers, they are implemented via some kind of alternate "cruft path" using micro-ops that requires extra decode steps, pipeline flush, etc. that slows the processor down.

So if you think about using obscure x86 opcodes, benchmark them first. They might be slower than just implementing the algorithm using standard mainstream opcodes.

I too wanted to click around the first month (+/-) after switching to vim, I think we all did.

However, it seems like the author learned the basics of vim, but stopped before he learned about powerful navigation keys, visual mode etc.

I think the moral is: if you feel you don't get the hang of vim/nerdtree etc., don't give up - keep going, there is a reason why so many people use it.

I will bet most 'common' people aren't even aware of the HP Touchpad, or the pricing. This will have no measurable impact on the overall tablet market.

The iPad is popular because it works great. It is not $500 because it has an Apple logo. It is $500 because it delivers great value and utility to people.

No other tablet maker or OS has yet proven to be as well designed as the iPad. Perhaps if a truly viable competitor comes along, the iPad prices may drop.
Sometimes a company gets so focused on innovation that the developers are put on an "innovation-drip" to the exclusion of service. A symptom of this is when, in the name of innovation, a hundred open bug tickets are ignored because they relate to short-term issues rather than visionary strategic plans. Yet true visionaries are short-sighted in nature, they see one day at a time and they fix whatever is at hand to be fixed.
That's exactly why I tried again. The drawer is just a way not to go completely mad when I'm stuck trying to open files "the fast way" and I think these tools make it easier for people to get the hang of it. :)
