Yeah, I scanned some of this conversation solely because I caught that it was an extremely civilized debate (rather than an emotionally heated argument). So amen to that. One of HN's finer moments.
Did that too after I became annoyed by the Googling of the headlines in Facebook just to avoid the app. Yesterday I discovered that pressing cancel will get you to the article, so I deleted the app.

Nonetheless, it's still a nuisance to click on an article headline and not get there right away.

Yep, we agree with your opinion CURRENTLY.

We're developing Hoop (REST API for HDFS) plugin, and also Stargate (REST API for HBase). It requires additional setup at the infra-side, but still very useful and performs well.

You can feed Twitter stream by writing in_twitter plugin. That will 30 lines of Ruby code :-)
yes that should be the way to go, not providing a library in lots of parts (i've yet to try it - how well does it work in practice?). compilers should handle this for you (linking in only the required functions) instead of distributing a library in chunks.

i would also like to see jQuery versions for different browsers (kinda like Zepto for Webkit but with 100% of the APIs) - so I could compile using closure against different libraries and serve just the right stuff to different user agents.

it shouldn't be hard to add user-agent specific comments to jQuery so the library could be used to produce user-agent specific versions. i think the relative popularity of zepto shows that there's a need for that.

I don't know, the general theory of "Companies outsourcing themselves to death" sounds fine, but somehow the examples are never convincing. I mean if you compare the development of Dell vs. Asustek in GoogleFinance, it really doesn't seem that Asustek is better off. Is it really such a tragedy if Dell isn't in the dying pc-manufacturing business anymore?

Mainly, I use my arrow keys for M-x tetris. ;)

To navigate, I typically use incremental search (C-s or C-r). Because moving up line-by-line is a slow linear process which gets annoying if you're not a couple lines away from the target.

You can also use the mouse, which is a very direct way of getting where you want to go.

There's also page up/down. (If you don't want to move your hands, that's C-v and M-v.) And for moving the screen (without moving the cursor), there's a quick C-l. If you want to go to the very ends of the buffer, there's M-< and M->.

Then there's linguistic motion, because you're often thinking in terms of moving in units of text. So, M-f if forward-word; M-} is forward-paragraph.

Then there's navigating units of code. Which is like moving in units of text, but you press control too. Like C-M-f is forward-sexp, which pushes you forward a code unit. (Like a string or variable name.) C-M-a is beginning-of-defun, which gets you to the start of the function/method/whatever you're in.

What he has done is nice, but hardly what he says he achieved.

90% good parts of jQuery? I don't think so. The omissions, like .css, abstracted events, etc make this unfit for the majority of jQuery using projects out there.

So it's more like "90% of what the author wants, YMMV" that "90% period".
What's really unique about the Clojure community is that (as opposed to many other language communities) we don't respond to vague handwaving-type flamebaits such as this one.

Most of us just get stuff done using Clojure, quickly, getting concise and most importantly — correct code, even in massively multithreaded applications.
these are great ones!

But here is mine that I recently learned:

Well, F2-F5 is how I save a file. ;) I just push my fingers up and mash any of those keys.

Actually there's an interesting advantage — Mac and Linux differ on using control and command keys. I'm constantly switching between the two OSes using VMs, and fairly awful things happen when my fingers get confused. Whereas there's no confusion between emacs and either those environments.

For cutting/pasting, Emacs uses a clipboard which remembers a bunch of things, not just the last thing you copied/cut. So at least you gain something to compensate you for initial frustrations. (Though I saw someone use a Mac program which improves the Mac clipboard in this direction.)
I scored 25. Whatever that means...
The same thing has been going on in European countries for several decades. Manufacturing is cheaper in Asia where the workers can be forced to do their job for low salaries and no healthcare. The solution is to massively increase VAT (and lower income tax). The other possibility is that our (average) living standard will drop until we are able to compete again.
"there was a time in witch SCO was a serious software company"

I'm pretty sure the current SCO isn't even the same company as the original Unix Santa Cruz Operation - they are really what was Caldera who bought part of SCO (including the rights to UNIX) and then ended up calling themselves SCO, now TSG.

I sometimes wonder how Emacs would look if a lot of blue-sky resources were poured into its foundations.
I've read a lot of ebooks (even long before I got a kindle) and I have to say that I read them for the story, not the presentation.

What is wrong with ebooks is that there are still books that I _cannot_ buy. I want to give the publishers/writers my money and they simply will not accept it. For me its e or nothing, I don't have the space to store paper books, and to be honest I just like ebooks better.

Lack of sufficient client-side caching makes ChromeOS a horrible user experience, especially in places with less great internet access. The places most enthused by a ChomeOS cost advantage are precisely those with worse internet coverage.

ChromeOS is a strategic mistake but an example of Google feeling the need to copy Apple's simplicity sells model.

Businesses are the target market for ChromeOS but simplicity (e.g. Apple's model) doesn't sell well to businesses because businesses want as much as they can for the money, and they can get a regular netbook with native apps for the same cost.

Simplicity is great for personal computing and device markets, but ChromeOS is inferior to Android for this market, so where's the selling point?

If Google made ChromeOS devices really cool, really slick and really cheap, e.g. devoted the effort Apple does, these could succeed. But Google isn't going to do that with G+ and the millions of other initiatives they're focused on.

The UK was in a bit of a crisis in the late 70s, early 80s - at risk of becoming bankrupt from the reliance on unreliable coal and imported oil.

That's the main reason why I think the North Sea reserves were gorged. A major shift was made to gas generated electricity (as well as being plumbed directly into homes) and a long term hope that nuclear was the future, which hasn't happened yet.

It essentially got the country through the 80s and 90s, and allowed a difficult transition towards services in time for globalisation.

Good code is succinct. OOP is not a pre-requisite for "good code", it depends on what you are using it for. It takes longer to write less code than to write more code. Not taking the time to write good code will eventually result in a very complex program that is hard to modify, hard to fix bugs with.

You write good code to save time down the line. Sure, bad code is fine for one-use scripts, but if you are building a product that you know will be around for a long time (i.e not a prototype, you've done that already), it pays to write good code; Good code will make it easier to fix bugs, easier to add features, and lead to better software.
I lived and worked in Oslo, Norway for the three last years. It was nice, but eventually got boring. And the dark winters were depressive.

Living in Berlin now, feels like a much more vivid city with a much more heterogenous society. Norway is very collectivistic.

> As a practical matter, only a few crazies actually believe that people have no social obligations.

It depends. I live in a former Communist country in Eastern Europe, and you'd be surprised of how effective +50 years of communist rule were at destroying any "social feelings" whatsoever.

Of course you could say it's a bad thing, but on the other hand the fact that you've lived your entire life with the credo "rely only on yourself and yourself only and trust no-one" is really good in times of crisis like the ones we're going through right now.
Well, here's an idea for Skyrim: languages.

It's actually very simple: translate all the voice acting into your language of choice - let's say Norwegian. (Probably dumb the vocabulary down a bit.) Now add subtitles.

You're done. Go play the game. You'll absorb the language as you play, and because (unlike a film) you'll hear the same phrases multiple times, it'll actually sink in to a useful extent. I've only played about 20 hours of Skyrim so far, but I'm pretty sure if I was playing the subtitled version I'd already be able to say "Are you looking to defend yourself, or do some damage?" in Norwegian.

(Of course, I'd still have to add modern language to my knowledge after 200 hours, but hey, it's easier than learning the entire grammatical structure and all verbs.)

For a much more effective but much more offputting version - don't have subtitles. Have a few characters who can speak a bit of English, but have most of them only talk in Norwegian. You'll need to customise the dialogue a fair bit too so that the player doesn't miss important bits (essentially, have the NPCs periodically stop and say "WTF? Are you stupid? THERE'S THE GODDAMN DRAGON!"), and probably have the usual range of dialogue options - in Norwegian - plus a standard "I'm sorry, I don't speak Nord" which will get you all the really essential stuff.

That would be very, very hard to play - although surprisingly immersive if you're playing a non-Nord character, particularly if the other non-Nords were the characters who were likely to speak your language - but would definitely teach you the language.
By reducing the needless complexity that it implements. The purpose of a Unix shell is to interpret a simple language wrapping syscalls so the user can easily give instructions to the kernel. There are several such shells whose source code is smaller than the bash manpage.

13 pages of the 80 page manual are devoted to readline and programmable completion. Readline and programmable completion could be removed from the shell, and their functional equivalents moved to a more logical place in the terminal emulator. Plan 9 does this, and it works well, and people seem to like it and the flexibility it gives.

24 pages are devoted to builtin commands, many of which are unnecessary duplicates of regular commands, and several unnecessary altogether.

3 pages are about weird parameter expansions, all of which can be done more intuitively with sed, except for the array one, which can be done with awk.

And there are many smaller things as well, like biffing or arithmetic evaluation, which can be done with dc or whatever. You could try moving history out of the shell and into the terminal emulator as well.

I think this would work well just for the homepage and nothing else.

The main issue I have is an irrelevant ad plastered across every page would be pretty tacky. Having relevant ads on article pages would work better but there are a few problems with that:

a) Each article isn't of equal value in terms of advertising, which would make pricing much more complicated, which would also increase costs involved.

b) Pages (or whole topics) with rented ad space could be subject to spammy tactics to increase the amount of visitors, such as dubious SEO techniques (the Wikipedia domain would make this easy). I haven't thought about this deeply enough but it could be a huge problem since it can't really be controlled.

That's the key. If I can pause for a second and typically deduce the correct action I'm more likely to stick to something than if I typically have to pull up a help file to know what to do.

The article nails it with:

"although Google is mainly pushing Chromebooks in the enterprise market, its Google Docs applications cannot meet the needs the enterprise users"

I don't know how google could possibly have released the Chromebooks before their apps worked offline. That alone was a showstopper but the apps themselves are still just not nearly feature-rich enough to replace real office apps. Look at OpenOffice / LibreOffice - even with 10 times the features of Google's solutions it doesn't make a dent even though it is free. I think Google is just delusional about what's needed here. They can't "incrementally" get to where they need to be from where they are. It's a whole different ball park.
Only if there's a bug in your xargs. POSIX states:

The xargs utility shall limit the command line length such that when the command line is invoked, the combined argument and environment lists (see the exec family of functions in the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1-2008) shall not exceed {ARG_MAX}-2048 bytes

so you should never run into the ARG_MAX limit.
Of course nobody likes Yahoo, but this is one of the really great features of YUI.
While it doesn't fix the issue, zsh's man page is divided into different sections, which at least alleviates it.

I'll have to admit that that was a stupid example, but my point is still that entrepreneurial people are often profit driven, and when one takes this incentive away, they tend to direct their efforts towards more profitable things. So if we deny the possibility of profit from helping the poor, we are effectively denying them any/most advances made possible by entrepreneurial people.

Unless we learn to live harmoniously with each other on this planet, why should we expand to other planets ? To perpetuate the same cycle of justified violence on ourselves and everything else?
Look what happened to the Native Americans and all other indigenous populations, cultures, countries, when people brainwashed by a culture of greed and religiously, scientifically (eugenics), and more recently 'humanitarianlly' justified violence got in there to take their resources.

Is this way of life worth preserving? Maybe there is something better, maybe a self-sustaining, thriving way of life that is in harmony with nature and doesn't need continuous conquering, colonization, resource raping and pillaging in order to be maintained would be worth exploring first, before we think about jumping ship?

Maybe all this apocalyptic stuff is all BS, and it is just a sign we need to change something in the way we live, rather than we need to jump ship?

The problem is some people would like us to not change at all, or to change such that they can maintain or even increase their power and privileges (see carbon tax scam). This is where the problem lies.

The only thing we need right now is to wake up and separate wheat from chaff, inquire into ourselves, find our own truth of who we are and what we are doing here, and reject all theories imposed by any so called 'authority'.

Forget about space exploration for now, it's just another distraction.

Inner (and outer) truth is what we need right now.

Quite often asking a good question to knowledgeable people can give you a tested and well working solution in a fraction of the time it would take to search and try and fail and try a working solution by yourself.

For me, often asking the question and then still trying to figure it out myself worked well. Often I come to a solution, post it (IRC) and then later some guru responds with "try this instead" or "with that flag it could do some thing better".
This approach might be very useful once you've done some classroom work to give you a running start. But seriously, without knowing any of grammar, word order, pronunciation rules, verb conjugation or vocabulary, you simply cannot learn a language this way.
I'm a rubyist and now Clojure convert. The code does not look difficult to me, but i'm sure you can make it much more concise if you were to add some mutation in the Clojure code. As my career progressed i found that I don't care almost at all about syntax but semantics. Clojure offers far better semantics for almost everything including Data Structures, concurrency and meta-programming. That's were the true power of the language is on its semantics.
