This apparently works on local directories also. However, either on remote or local, you have to set the working directory before making the "open" action.

Therefore I am not sure a direct link would do the trick (can you change the working dir using an URL and then point to the file ? I m not sure)

Anyway, the DLL does not have to be visible for the trick to work.

Thank you for saving me the words.

The reason I don't have a Google account is that I don't like being profiled and tracked as I go around the Internet and I believe that pay-walls should not be in front of free information.

A Google account is a pay-wall. You pay by providing them with some information about you.

My interpretation is that 16 months ago, Firefox stopped caring about Acid3 because the remaining points were disagreements on how to interpret the standard. Not because they were too lazy to fix it, because they had a point.

The fact that it has been resolved only now is irrelevant. If you take a Firefox 16 months old and run Acid3 on it now, it would score 100% - I think that's what he meant.
At least GIFs work more or less the same on all browsers. This is an excellent example of how not to do it.

Imagine the support call: "Click on the blinking dot" : "I don't see any blinking dot" : "It blinks for me, do you use a webkit browser?" : "A what?"
I think the idea of a pulsating dot has been around long enough that it could have been implemented a bit more solid.

An example from Perl: you can use unicode characters in the source code with

use utf8;

This pragma tells perl to parse the source as UTF-8. It allows us to use unicode characters in string like this:

my $exampletext = 'Hallöchen Unicode! Ça va bien?';

And we can use unicode characters in identifiers:

my $γ = 2.5;

my $π = 3.14159;

my $θ = $γ / $π;

(This is not possible for subroutine and package names)

Using greek characters as identifiers could be useful for some people.
Now imagine this happening when you are searching for none-English words, and Google decides to correct your misspelling of English...

It's so insultingly arrogant it makes me want to smash my keyboard in the faces of the people who wrote this.
Exactly, encapsulation as a combination of data and methods makes no sense if data is transformed, joined in different ways, grouped, etc. Some methods have to become invalid. Others, like accessors, may still be logically valid but are lost because they are linked inextricably to a class type even though they may depend only on the attribute value itself.

The goal of a query is not to process sets of objects. The goal is to answer a question. The ORM gives you two choices. Either limit yourself to answers that can be expressed as objects of existing classes or get something that is fundamentally different from all other domain objects - a generic tuple of values.

You lose the homogenous, recursive transformation capability that the relational model provides.

In terms of simplicity, I suggest you take a few queries involving joins, group by, having and aggregates and translate them to procedural code. I've done that a lot. It's very eye opening. Functional languages using homogenous data structures like lists or generalized sequences can be similarily productive for data that fits into memory. That is a more and more viable alternative to SQL in my view, but OO systsms and querying/transformation just clash badly.
Have a look at 'the French revolution' for one instance in time where it worked reasonably well. The French royalty and its associated entourage had become such a drain on the country that the French decided to get rid of them in the most drastic fashion possible.

Yes it was gruesome and bloody. But it did move France forward in time ahead of some other European countries that even today have not managed to rid themselves of their God anointed overlords.

Of course there are plenty of counter examples but it doesn't always have to be bad.

That's definitely not a given. Revolutions are a time of instability and the outcome can be worse or better. It mostly depends on what precipitated the revolution in the first place, how educated the people in the country where the revolution takes place are and how involved they plan on being once the violence dies down. A revolution is a time of transition and instability without any guarantees towards the outcome.

They exclude transactions because an ORM maintains a stateful copy of the data on another tier. Once a copy is made of the data, the guarantee that a transaction can succeed or the data remains correct is no longer valid.

Considering Fowler spent years pushing ORM's, isn't it a little ironic that his first law, directly from PoEAA is [1] "Don't distribute your objects" yet an ORM encourages distribution via the Unit of Work pattern and local stateful copies.

Technically, the only thing that is possible to work for a Object-oriented database is a shared heap, which comes with its own bag of concurrency problems.

Relational databases however, have first class concepts within mathematics such as sets and all operations take place in one place against one true source always so transactions can be guaranteed.

ORM's are a recent invention and for some of the really big stuff out there, they just don't cut it.

I'll post some example cases where transactions and OO falls over if anyone is interested. I've watched enough concurrency and transaction isolation issues raised from ORMs to be intimately aware of them now.

I've been looking into a few ways to do exactly that with Raphael. The short answer is that it's possible but a little tricky. I've found three methods so far:

1) If you're using a browser that supports SVG (basically, not IE), Raphael will generate the images as SVG nodes in your DOM tree. You can just grab that entire section of the DOM and send the SVG markup to the server where you render it using the image library of your choice.

2) If you have to support IE the above method won't work. Only IE9 has any SVG support and I've heard reports that it's spotty. In these cases, Raphael falls back on VML, an older MS extension that provides more or less the same experience. Unfortunately, I don't know of a server side generation library that supports VML. What's worse, in my testing, IE won't even print the VML image so you can't even use a PDF writer in the browser.

So, the simplest workaround is use the VML fallback in IE for display but when the user wants to download a final version, generate the same drawing as HTML + Javascript on the serverside and then use wkhtmltopdf on the html. (For those who don't know, wkhtmltopdf is an awesome tool that uses a headless webkit browser to convert HTML files to shockingly good PDFs).

As long as the javascript is triggered on load, wkhtmltpdf will include it in the resulting pdf. This doesn't always work perfectly but odds are it'll work for you.

As an added bonus, SVG bits also seemed to be rendered as vector in the actual PDF. This also prevents any chance of the server side image rendering slightly differently from the user preview.

3) If the wkhtmltopdf method isn't rendering properly or is too exotic for your server, you can try using the great raphael.serialize plugin ( https://github.com/jspies/raphael.serialize ). This works around the SVG/VML problems by exporting the data as a JSON structure. This can be re-rendered inside raphael easily but exporting to PNG is trickier. You can convert the JSON to SVG and render that as in method one, Ben Barnett has a small code example on how to do that: ( http://www.benbarnett.net/2010/06/04/export-svg-from-raphael... ) but there's no complete library for doing this yet so you'll have to write some extra bits yourself. If you do write a library for this, please open source it so I don't have to do it too. ;)

Also, Raphael 2.0 is being launched at jsconf.eu next month so it may have a more clever approach for this but I haven't looked into it yet.

Google Plus does not seem to give me (or my friends) a reason to undertake the effort required to start using it in place of Facebook. On a similar note, people using Facebook are already accustomed to it, and at least in our case, Facebook doesn't give us a reason to use something else.
ZOMG, indeed! You’re welcome! :D

Are you using an image element to support printing? There's no other reasons to not use CSS3 to create the dot (or the somewhat more pragmatic approach of setting it as a background image on the target element, reducing your markup), as I see it?

I think you should also expect that people could want more than one target on their maps. There's no downside to switching from IDs to classes here.

Google Apps users are 2nd rate citizens. WTF?
Let me say this very succinctly: Google really dislikes Google Apps users.

Google promised us Google Apps users we'd be able to buy extra storage for Gmail after the transition to some new infrastructure.
Reversed course and said the storage could only be used for Picasa and Docs.

Google said more services would be available after the transition.
Yes, more services are available, but I still can't have a youtube account liked to a Google Apps account if Youtube is not available in my country - and it's only available in like 20 countries.

Then Google promised +1 and Profiles, and therefore Google+ to Google Apps. It's been 6 months and I still don't have a Profile.

I mean, really, WTF?

I have to move email from my sorted 25GB Gmail Google Apps account to offline storage (i.e. my local folders in Postbox) so I can make room for incoming mail. WTF do I use Gmail for then?

Google Apps used to have forwarding email addresses. Google decided they were too expensive to keep up and that those forwarding email addresses had to become Google Groups or you had to move your domain outside Google Apps.

My problem is that I can pay $20 for 80 GB of storage on regular Gmail. I fracking want to pay more than that for Google Apps space.

Thing is... I feel betrayed. Google kept promising to provide additional services, in this case storage - in exchange for cold hard cash so please don't get all holy on me - and has kept users lingering on and then has failed to deliver or even completely reversed course.

Seriously now... What the frack? Is it just because paying Google Apps Premiere users also turn off ads?
Ask HN: How to write the financials of your business plan?

Right. It's just business.
Dear nddrylliog,

AFAIK, Firefox has not introduced any change in order to score 100% on Acid3. If you read this article (http://browserfame.com/212/firefox-acid3-test-100), you will come to know that the developer of Acid3 test has introduced few changes in order to "update" the test. On the updated Acid3 scale, Firefox scores 100%. This simply indicates that Mozilla was correct!

I agree with you: "If you take a Firefox 16 months old and run Acid3 on it now, it would score 100% - I think that's what he meant.".

I am unable to understand your comment: "read before you respond stupidly.". Can you please explain my stupidity?

(FYI: I am also associated with Mozilla for long, as a volunteer.)
It's a subset of HTML and CSS, not the whole thing. Interesting though.

> Isn't that the point of searching: find a specific thing in a whole bag of other things?

Web search isn't as simple as you make out to be. It's not a 'select * from blah where field like %like%'. Searching is about finding relevant information. Keywords are taken into account, but again, it's not a giant hashtable.

If I search for 'python file system watch', it shows me results for 'monitor' as well. Most of the cases, the keywords are the means to find the end result.

When you enter the queryterms, they pass through a lot of filters - removal of stopwords, n-gram tagging, spell check, hyponyms/hypernyms translations, lemmatization...before hitting the index. And then the ranking itself is quite complex.

And it's simply that sometimes 1 or 2 out of n query terms doesn't make it to the first page.

I don't work for Google and I don't know about how Google does it, but the notion that Google is ORing query terms is absurd. It just can't be. If Google were ORing query terms, you would never find MIT if you searched for "massachusetts institute of technology" or vice-versa.

> If you were right, Google would have done this from the start; why are they doing it now?

Once again, they aren't ORing query terms. The missing terms are falling out of the front page due to low rank.

> I don't use Google to find the Yahoo homepage (I know many people actually do; should we help them???)

Nothing special needs to be done for them. The generic ranking works great.

> If you were right, Altavista would have prevailed and Google would not have emerged; the way Altavista worked was, they linked the words in a query with the "OR" operator, so that any query produced at least some results, however irrelevant.

Google prevailed because of better ranking algorithm.

> (Could it be because focus groups are taking over?)

Focus group doesn't decide how algorithmic search works.

If every combination is taken, you might have some legal problems with trademarks.

If you register something.io, and they already took something.com, there's a good chance

1) They are in the same business selling "something"

2) They were there before you

3) They might have registered the trademark "something"

If they decide to sue you, you will probably lose.

It also might be hard to market .io to non-tech people, pretty much everyone expects .com (.org and .net are alright, but not great either).
While frugality is important I think mental effort effort is too. You can only focus on so much and sometimes its better to have that attention focused elsewhere.
Good points. Small scale opportunities do exist in many markets but they rarely need external money.
This really is interesting.
I hear you. Google search is becoming increasingly useless.

Just this morning I was looking for some Scheme documentation. Typing "scheme set!" into Google returned all kinds of crap because Google not only ignored the "!" after "set", it also searched for "scheme OR set" instead of "scheme AND set!". Bing, on the other hand, gave me exactly what I need. DuckDuckGo was as bad as Google.

I realize they're doing it to help out the average user, but whether the average user needs this kind of help is debatable. There are "average" users who actually know what they're doing and they're going to be pissed when Google insults them like this. Lawyers, doctors, photographers, designers, car mechanics, gardeners ... these are "average" users too, and sometimes they have very specific queries. What Google returns when they search for these extremely specific queries is what will decide if they're going to stick with Google or switch to Bing/whatever.

"You don't really know what you want. You're too stupid. We know better. Let us help." Is that the message you're sending me, Google?
I clicked "use it sparingly", but what are you comparing it to? I don't have a Facebook account at all and also only use Twitter sparingly. So I haven't reduced the number of posts I'm making, I was never a big "frequent" user to begin with.

Has step 6 happened already? I have a hard time figuring it out since I was part of step 2 and haven't seen all the cool kids that were there in 2006 leaving for Twitter...

I believe you could apply the same logic to almost everything but Google is still the cool kid after all these years as is Manchester United, right?
It works even in WP7.5 IE!
Gaming is often considered to lay outside "what normal users want". It's also an area where laptops are especially weak, and I'd guess that even in your case the GPU is more limiting factor than CPU. Reasonably built gaming desktop from 2009 would certainly run Starcraft 2.
I'm guessing it's because you're likely not their target audience. A lot of people are more than happy to let whoever asks have permission to spam their Facebook feed with free advertising.

On 1-2% - it's the steadiness that is the issue. Madoff didn't outperform all other hedge funds on overall performance, it's that he never lost money.

Just be frank and let the guy decide.
I think there are many who doesn’t split types and algorithms, and something like Java does/did make it cumbersome plus its standard library doesn’t do it — but the C++ comity adopted STL into the standard library 13 years ago, which is all about separating algorithms from their types, and was actually born out of Alexander Stepanov’s work with graph algoritms, so I was also a little surprised by his generalizations and specifically calling out C++ (twice).
The uber rich aren't earning double digits monthly on these investments, and they aren't hyper leveraged either.

Saying that current integrated GPUs are on par with medium-low range is still generous. Based on the article, Ivy Bridge GPU is approx 60% faster than in Sandy Bridge. I'd estimate that it would it near the performance of Radeon 6450, which is the weakest discrete card in the series.

That said, I agree that with Ivy Bridge, the GPU performance will be good enough for a lot of uses.

Many years ago in my first tech job, before the ipod, I had a sony walkman where I would change the batteries more often than the tape.

This one tape would be on continuous loop for days and weeks at a time. I had never been more productive in that job. But in effect I wasn't listening to music at all I was blocking out the distractions from the open plan office we worked in.

Since then I've experimented and found that ear plugs work best of all.
