As an European battling a (mild) depression I wouldn't call it a mental illness. The same goes for anxiety attacks or "alcohol dependence" (that's the first time when I see this mentioned as being a disease).

It's a very long explanation which I have in my head, but I don't have the mental energy to go through all of it. But parts of it would mention that any such studies that are backed up by "the director of the institute of clinical psychology and psychotherapy" are bound to be skewed on the side of "everybody is mentally ill", Michel Foucault explains it in his books better than I could ever do (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madness_and_Civilization).

Also, I find this emphasis on "everybody should be happy and economically productive" a little bit disconcerting. Being depressed is part of being alive, you cannot just be happy from the minute you were born all the way to your dying moments. Great works (if not the greatest) of literature and of arts in general have been created by depressed people. The feeling itself of eternal, blissfully ignorant happiness makes me more depressed.

As far as "being productive all the time at all costs", I won't go into it, it isn't worth it, I just blame it on the poorly misunderstood religion of Taylorism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Winslow_Taylor)
From the point of view of the quantity of PC games that use DirectX, OpenGL is losing. WebGL, as you mentioned, may really be a turning point. If Internet Explorer implements it natively, then the OpenGL stack on Windows may become much stronger. If game manufactures then started using OpenGL, DirectX would finally start to die (although, it still has the XBox).

`Popen(["ls"], ...)`? Was `os.listdir` (or, if you must, `sorted(fn for fn in os.listdir('.') if not fn.startswith('.'))` too easy?
Usually `-v` is used to increase verbosity in traditional unix applications (ls, mv, cp, etc). Or maybe I'm missing your point.
Is fine too, but you wont get non-annotated files. nls was designed to work within your normal workflow, i.e. doesn't require you to think about getting file notes in order to get them.

Why? Are other Intel-based laptops better at installing Windows?

FYI – I've had Vista/Win7 installed on this machine before. It's a question of how horrible the process is. Typing in product codes, inserting DVDs, activation codes, warnings about anti-virus, etc.
Plus a common complaint about android is the app dev environment and tools suck compared to iOS.

People interested in creating crap seem to find a way, platform notwithstanding.
Think of some interesting research topics
It is not at all difficult to find interesting research topics to work on, provided you have no hesitation at all in working hard. One has to read the papers,
This guy really doesn't have enough UX/human factors experience to be saying anything about these UIs. His opinion appears to be based on a few commands, and a generalized opinion with little quantitative support.

"In Windows Live Photo Gallery, with the program window at least 1200 pixels wide"

That's quite a wide screen to expect someone to have in order to see all the available commands. I feel like this limit is even larger in more involved programs such as Word, Excel, etc where I've frequently run into the issue of having to click the "more" button, only not to find the command I'm looking for.

Also, counting clicks is a very weak UI rule to follow. Navigation time is key. The "clutter" description of the windows toolbar comes from the varying sizes of buttons that don't follow any regular order for the eye to follow, resulting in greater confusion and potentially slower responses.
Can an android development hobby make any money?
Should everyone be allowed to use these public services when not everyone is donating? Should you be allowed to use the police even if you haven't been donating to their budget? What if the police have two calls: one from someone who has donated and one from someone who hasn't? Who has priority?

The tax system exists to fund services that are generally not used by someone until they are needed (FEMA, Medicare, unemployment, etc.). I can honestly say I would never pay into any of these programs unless I had to and I think most people would do the same (even if they wouldn't admit to it openly).
I moved away from GoDaddy years ago. They have proven themselves to be irrationally self-interested. This is just one more reason no one should use them. While the domain cost is low, ancillary costs are high: not to mention moral cost for using a company that kills Elephants for sport.
Thanks Ms. Hacker Dojo Director :)
Beyond the fact that I worked with "enterprise-grade"-Software that wasted much more than an hour on columns... Let me make a daring statement: in some regards, (La)TeX is the most "enterprise-ready" document writing solution out there.

The community is extremely committed to backwards compatibility - if you had something working in LaTeX, there is a high probability it wont break for the next 10 years (my files from 2000 still compile properly). It is reasonably fast for PDF generation, which makes it good for batch use (also, it still knows what "batch use" is, being from the 70s and all), making it a good solution to generate things like invoices. Newer Tex compilers like XeTeX and LuaTeX also eliminated most of the biggest wrinkles (most glaringly the inability to use any modern Font format like OpenType).

Also, for interested programmers, it comes with a huge toolchain to manipulate and stitch together PDF, which I often use.

The problem is the bar of entry: LaTeX is a _typesetting_ system, which means that all terminology comes from typesetting, not from programming, a fact that many programmers hate.
It's obviously not true that 40% of Europeans are not mentally ill unless mentally ill is defined so loosely as to be meaningless.

But let's play the game for a moment and assume it is true. We must then ask if it is a good idea to have Democracies given that nearly half the voting population is mentally ill.

From CES2011

The technology demonstration included Windows client support across a range of scenarios, such as hardware-accelerated graphics and media playback, hardware-accelerated Web browsing with the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer, USB device support, printing and other features customers have come to expect from their computing experience. Microsoft Office running natively on ARM also was shown as a demonstration of the full depth and breadth of Windows platform capabilities on ARM architecture.

I dont think there is reason to doubt Microsoft on API compatibility which i s what this ultimately boils down to. Windows recently ran on IA64 BTW. .NET helps but Win32 in itself is proven enough to need little more than just a recompile for porting.
Scriptable email clients
That makes a lot more sense. It would be a lot better if the DNS provider said something like, "First million DNS entries served is free, after that, we charge you $0.50/million queries" (Amazon pricing for DNS)

Then, you respond to every request as fast as you can. (Note, this also provides an incentive to the customer to jack up the TTL on the resource records, so 99.99% of the requests are handled at the caching servers instead of GoDaddy)
Care to explain in more detail? (I moved from GoDaddy to 1&1 a few months back)
So from the point of view of only games that run on the only platform that supports DirectX, OpenGL is dying?

You don't think that's maybe a problematic sample to draw conclusions from?

I mean, from the point of view of iOS and PS3 games, DirectX is non-existent. Taking these kind of sub-samples of the total game market produces degenerate results.
What wasn't said about the Linux graphics stack
I tend to agree with you - I greatly prefer JavaScript to Java myself. But I did hear one argument for GWT that I found persuasive - that they are able to do optimizations in the generated JavaScript code that we probably wouldn't - or couldn't - do in more idiomatic JavaScript.

I didn't find this persuasive enough to use GWT myself, mind you. :-) But it does seem like a valid reason someone might want to use it.
It was mentioned on Apache Hadoop Goes Realtime at Facebook paper[1], presented on June 12-16 2011.

Does anyone knows what caused such big spike in size of data around August 09? Did they simply move more/all data into Hadoop or is there another explanation?

Number of machine stayed relatively the same, so it seems really weird that they increased size of data 10000-fold while not even doubling their machine number.

Since bradleyland stated It's not even their money! This is their employees' withholding tax., it appears the point was the malefactors withheld money from their employees, and then failed to pass it along to the feds.

Hence, if I read OP correctly, the money in question was taken from their employees.

The biggest concern Intel has is that moving down market, shrinking products and lowering margins almost never works in any industry when a disruptive competitor is moving upmarket into the same space (Innovator's Delimma).

If Intel could move down market successfully don't you think we would have seen a reasonable IA facsimile of an iPhone or an iPad after all these years?

Soon everyone on earth, except perhaps the bottom billion poorest, with have Internet access via ARM and Intel will peak at the top 2-3 billion. That's what scares the hell out of them.

ARM,as a mobile optimized architecture, will never compete on performance grounds with IA. IA is the push rod V8 of computing and ARM is the hybrid.
5hoom is correct - the problem is the technique. Simply put, if you don't want any input lag, you have to IMMEDIATELY render to the screen, which by definition will cause tearing. The windows DWM does not have this problem, but judging from a large number of presentation API functions I toyed around with in the DirectX9 Ex, they are probably using a very low level flipping technique available to the operating system to eliminate the input lag. I have not been able to find anything concerning how they manage this and if I could utilize it for a fullscreen game, nor have I investigated whether openGL implements a working triple buffer system (mostly since I can't use it... yet). The real question here isn't whether it affects Linux, its a question of whether Linux provides an alternative technique (presumably via openGL) that can be utilized by a game developer.
At my former employer (a commercial software division of a major electronics manufacturer) my managers were dumbfounded when I suggested we ask the tech support people for input when we did feature planning for the next version.

That was around the time I started thinking about finding somewhere else to work.

Because of inflation, because there's already a corporate income tax.

Another advantage of using an iframe (besides cross-domain communication) is that you don't have to reset every CSS style you need. When you insert JavaScript into a page it inherits all the crazy CSS already on the page which can cause all sorts of problems. Iframes have their own context and give you an easy way to avoid that problem.

Official interim report on DigiNotar hack aka "Operation Black Tulip"
It's my understanding this is really hurting android in China.

Well, hurting is the wrong word. Android phones are selling great but no central market and no standard OS means Chinese app devs are finding it really hard make any popular apps because they have to target effectively different OSes and multiple markets ( > 20 IIRC)

That means Chinese users aren't getting many apps. Might as well be a 2006 smart phone. I suppose a few versions and markets will eventually dominate so maybe it's just growing pains.

Nice initiative, but why try to hard to force a paradigm into a language that supports it badly?
Yup.

Interesting tidbit: HTML5 suggests the `seamless` attribute for <iframe> elements, which would cause those CSS styles to actually affect the contents of the <iframe> (and some other changes, like links affecting the location of the parent window). http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-iframe-element.html#the-ifram...

One thing I never quite understood about online testing tools like browserstack and saucelabs is how to reset server state.

Most webapps have some kind of datastore. Poking around a web ui will CRUD records in that datastore, possibly corrupting the next test. Another problem with this is coupling between tests, making them hard to modify without breaking a bunch of others.

Most automated test setups I have seen run on a local machine, and all server state is reset between each test.

How is this done on browserstack/saucelabs?
There are multiple threads on HN already answering your question, you can find them via the search function. (This comment is not meant to cry "double post", just as a pointer for your to look for more information on GoDaddy alternatives).
Microsoft already has Windows 8 and Office running on ARM. The fact is, in both cases, supporting a different processor is a recompile away (with edge cases failing in both cases). Windows NT and NeXTStep were both supporting different processor architectures at the same time.

The big different is not technology, it's culture. Apple will happily make all your old software obsolete as long as it doesn't seriously interfere with them selling new hardware. Microsoft has the much harder job: they need businesses to buy OS licenses (that is what they sell) and those businesses have a lot of old crappy expensive software that must continue to run to make the sale.

Any startups thinking of using this as an opportunity to get funded by Intel and break into the computer hardware industry?
I guess the story is that service in most places kinda sucks. The mac guys in my office report losing their laptops - their business machines - for several weeks for what should be simple repairs (hard drive replacement and the like), with no replacement offered.

There was a study on laptop repairs done a year ago or so, reported on Slashdot, that said the repair rate was the same for Dell and Apple, both of which were the middle of the pack. The best laptops in terms of repair rate were Asus, Toshiba, and one other I can't remember - I don't think it was Lenovo. I can't recall who was the tailender for that study, either, sorry.

I can also say that while Toshiba make nice laptops, when you need support you really need a crowbar to get them to help you if you're out of warranty - they won't even talk to you (even "Where can I find a link to a manual" simple stuff) until you pony up money beforehand. At least that was the case ~5 years ago or so in Aus.
Add Some Sugar to the Upcoming Weekend
Everybody loves weekends for several reasons. Planning for the upcoming weekend is a fun in itself like adding new movies and TV programs in your weekly ‘To-watch’ list, hanging out with your friends etc. But to cook any of your favorite recipes which could be enjoyed while watching your favorite show on TV is a real fun. If you’re not very good at cooking, no problem! Ordering your desired menu is also a feasible option. Most of the people prefer having popcorns or chips while enjoying their favorite movie, but if you’re like me then having gourmet cookies while watching your favorite late night show on the weekend would definitely be something that you usually dream of.
