I tried using DDG for a few weeks, and I had the same experience as you. I frequently found myself doing the same search on Google to see if there were more results, but the biggest issue for me was speed - both Google and Bing are blazingly fast, and I found myself being annoyed with the noticable delay in DDG.

The VLC GUI is sort of a mess. I think it's QT but many QT applications look just fine in Gnome. VLC doesn't. The keyboard shortcuts sometimes work, sometimes they don't: obviously a focus thing or something. The looks is different and somehow old. Various widgets aren't standard and don't always work in a standard way. For some damn reason, VLC toggles the state of the super key which I use for many keyboard shortcuts, and this means typing text doesn't work if VLC is running. Moving back and forth is cumbersome: you just can't use the arrow keys but you have to use shift and or ctrl/alt. Those can theoretically be configured but my VLC hasn't believed my new keybindings for years. The popup menus flicker when opened during a movie and they can go really deep. Changing some settings in mid-play causes restarting the movie from beginning while some settings are lost after switching DVD titles/chapters.

There's undoubtedly a lot of functionality in VLC but I kind of prefer the way of the Gnome school: things should be simple by default, and advanced configuration can be arranged in some advanced way, if needed. For example, transcoding into a file could be just a "Save as..." with a simple selection of formats. Now it opens a complex dialog with several tabs all over. Using that monster I don't always manage to reliably produce transcoded video files with VLC that generally open in any other player, and at least I know something about video encoding and container formats. Even opening a DVD disk requires clicking through a dialog whereas Totem just... well, starts playing whatever disk happens to be in the drive.

On the other hand, the quality and robustness of VLC is outstanding.
A simple, Gnome compliant GUI plugin for vlc would make it a true pleasure.

I agree with you. One very simple technical solution that I used a few months back was to use a firefox addon which blocks my facebook, orkut, twitter for 15 minutes after I have used it for 15 minutes . Will that work for you?

Ask HN: Do you often use face 2 face communication?
Nowaday, with the development of internet and social network, we have many way to keep in touch with people we care about. But do you believe face 2 face communication is better than other types of communication, such as letters, email, telephone calls or social network? As a programmer, which type you use often?

With me, most of time, i live with my computer, so i often using social network to keep in touch with my friends. But sometime, the way people behavior in social network is not really same way as yours in real life.

And to get to know about them, i prefer to go out and talk with them directly. I love the way we can talk and see each other, feel their feeling.

But cannot denied the powerful of other communcation types as phone calls, emails, letters.

What do you prefer?
just tried purge on my macbook, and it really did freed some memory. never heard before about this command... any ideas why OS doesn't do it automatically from time to time by default? I agree that it doesn't make sense to use swap to move inactive memory.

kid seems to be down: http://www.kid-templating.org/

Here's wiki on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_%28templating_language%29
Last July I bought one of the new Macbook Air's. The price for the hardware you got was unbeatable, and that was ignoring build quality! While previous Air's were anemic tarted up netbooks, the 2011 Air's were (and are) powerful enough for everyday use.

There was just one problem with the Air however. Horrible Linux support. I'd been using Kubuntu happily for years. After looking at all the ugly dirty hacks people were using to get their Air's running, I decided to give OSX a trial for 6 months or so. Long enough for Linux support to mature. I hadn't used OSX since the early 2000's and it looked like the OS had come a long way. To be precise, what really changed my mind was how far the OSX modding community had come. Despite being hated and loathed by Apple, they had managed to fill in some of the gaping holes in core functionality that Apple philosophy forbade, such as a way to remap keys (in all applications, not just some). I could finally remap the Apple key to something that didn't break my touch-typing habits on all the other OS's I use daily!

6 months later, I'm ready to jump ship. I like OSX Lion's touchpad gestures, but beyond that, I'll miss little else about the OS. OSX isn't bad mind you, but it's infuriatingly difficult to modify when it does something you don't like. It's buggy. It's actually pretty dated and ugly looking now too. OSX's virtual desktop management has absolutely nothing on KDE's.

Unfortunately, just as the next version of Kubuntu was starting to look like a good one for the Air, Canonical announced that they are ceasing paid development of Kubuntu. My favorite KDE distro is now officially on deathwatch. Maybe it will live on with community support, like any other distro has to, or maybe it'll fall by the wayside. I appreciate what Canonical is trying to do with Unity, but it's not for me. I'd long felt like Kubuntu, despite it's many virtues, was being treated like a red-headed step-child. This tears it. I haven't decided what distro I'm going to yet, but it will be one that puts KDE first, and that rules out anything Ubuntu.
I have been looking for something like this, but I still miss support for building a streaming API. Expected in version 1.1? :)

For the sake of completeness, PEP8 actually says 'Use 4 spaces per indentation level'
It happened with me as well, but a much smaller amount of $50. After looking into it, the $50 charge was under a mysterious "professional fees" which PayPal refused to explain. I did get my money back after repeated enquiries though.

On the other hand, there have been several disputes though where I didnt get a fair shake and was essentially ripped off.

Let's face it, for those outside of the US, PayPal is a necessary evil. I loathe having to use them. They seem grossly incompetent in terms of customer support.

Continue to try every PayPal connection you have. Go to the Consumerist, media outlets etc about this. Make some noise.

If you make a big enough stink about it, maybe the money will show up.
Request: automatic sorting of email in outlook
Every day I get to use Outlook/Exchange to get my daily fix of email. There is lots of it. I spend a significant amount of time waddling through it. Most of time I do batch processing, sorting mail to folders, reading select batches and only then responding. Much of the sorting to folders could be automated by an intelligent set of filters, except that creating filters in outlook is tedious and my needs change over time. I wish someone would solve this - use AI; use bayesian filtering, whatever, just take away the manual labour. Don't make me think; help me. Thanks.

problem here is ruby.ruby developers hate semicolons. They ignore the decades old history opf the semicolon, and assert that the ruby/python/haskell way of indentation and semicolon-less code is the better way. They COULD be right, but im too deep seated in C/C++/Java/JS. One of the problems with javascript is the fact that it gives the choice.

My assembler uses my C Lex() which mostly ignores carriage_return. My asm instructions can be split on multiple lines. My define byte requires a terminating semicolon.

I once had a silly instructor who decided to show-off by not requiring a ; before asm comments on lines, and made a special editor that distributed comments into paragraphs along-side code. That's just stupid. What if you want a tool to process code -- you just increased the difficulty of parsing.

My assembler requires different opcode numonics for instuctions with 1 vs 2 args.

Interesting comment from this thread on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/pkogh/perl_data...
That would be like Gmail requiring a $10 fee / year. Much less appealing than free(mium).

Sure, public libraries are obviously not zero-cost, just as someone (most likely people who buy ads) pays for Gmail at some point, but they both feel that way.

I strongly disagree. In New York you can walk into almost any library in the city in the middle of the afternoon, head to the children's/young adult section, and find a ton of kids/teens reading, browsing, engaging in local events, etc. I've found this to be especially true in poorer neighborhoods in the Bronx and Brooklyn, the kind of places where some people assume no one would interested in partaking of these resources. (I have family in these areas so I visit these neighborhoods a lot) Remember also, libraries are much more than storage buildings for lots of dead tree books. They provide important services to their communities - e.g. adult literacy assistance, job/resume services, basic internet access and a whole lot more.

A lot of kids (and adults) get a great deal out of their local library. I still vividly remember the very first book that I picked up by chance while browsing the Sci-Fi section and couldn't put down until I fell asleep with it in my hands at 5am.

If you're seeing repeats that's probably a bug, as this is supposed to be both random and fairly varied. I'm torn — adding permalinks has now made it much more complex to extend or revise the lexicon. I'll probably need to version the input text lists and embed those versions in the permalink, but that's a bit much for what's left of my day (1am where I am).
Why can't you just take a standard Ubuntu and install the KDE packages? As far as I understand Kubuntu it's exactly the same as vanilla Ubuntu, but just uses different default packages.
Yes, exactly, and most of all - something non-language-specific.

This blog post accurately states the broken idea:

> Each is perfectly valid. Each behaves the same. It’s just a matter of preference and finding the style that makes most sense to you.

Part of being a good steward to a successful project is realizing that writing code for yourself is a Bad Idea™. If thousands of people are using your code, then write your code for maximum clarity, not your personal preference of how to get clever within the spec.

Code is harder to read than to write. To borrow a line from Jacob Kaplan-Moss, if I write the cleverest code that I am able to, then by definition I won't be able to understand it later.

This semicolon approach isn't invalid, but it is clearly a source of confusion, and it requires that users comprehend the choice and the tradeoffs. This seems like a poor choice for a framework whose audience is largely people who don't grok this stuff and are bolting it on wholesale.

Reports of Kubuntu's death may well be greatly exaggerated. Ceasing paid development means pulling the funding of one developer, a developer who was previously absent for a release cycle when he was on he Bazaar rotation instead - and Kubuntu still managed to make a release. At the same time, other Kubuntu developers have pointed out how this change will actually make it easier for the community to put Kubuntu together in some ways, due to the move of their packages from main to universe removing the need to get Canonical's sign-off for various things.

This is true, but realize that the Kubuntu team is maintaining those packages, so "taking a standard Ubuntu and installing the KDE packages" does nothing to remove one's dependence on them. For why this still is nothing to immediately panic about see my earlier reply to parent.
The deleverage of the banks caused by the new rules will not eliminate Wall Street risk taking. As the article states many of the top proprietary trading desks are already moving to Private Equity and Hedge Funds. This will only serve to hide the risk taking from the scrutiny of the public eye. Despite the recession there are billions of dollars looking for an above market return.

Through Private Equity and Hedge Funds Wall Street will find a way to meet this demand. It will simply adapt itself to the new rules, finding new ways to take new risks.

Greed will always find a way…

'Office hours' are a college term. It's the time that teachers or professor allot for students to go get extra help. A place where your teacher keeps their purse (sort to speak). It's away from the teaching environment where teachers can focus on your lack of knowledge or desire to expand it.

Keep in mind though. High school teachers are mostly overworked. Even the ones that know what they are talking about (some don't - we established that already), so do cut them some slack and be curteous. But keep asking questions. And if they don't answer, ask anyone who will. Read, explore and keep learning. It's what keeps us alive and what - at least according to this post - keeps us smart.

Good luck and you are on the right track to greatness.
Kubuntu isn't on death watch, there was one person being paid to work on it, the rest was community support. The last version he didn't even work on (he was off working on bazaar or something)
If Kubuntu does die it will be at least like 3 releases out.
I have been a Mac user for the last four years. I used to really like it, everything was stable and polished and just worked really well.

But in the last few months, things started falling apart. My computer would freeze every few days, syncing would destroy parts of my data, the iPhone would crash every now and then, there would be weird random glitches...

I'm certainly not ready to abandon ship yet, but I can see it coming. The Mac is not what it used to be any more.
Personally, I'm fond of Fedora's KDE offering as I explained the other day: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3561927

Again, not that there is any reason to leave Kubuntu if you're presently happy with what it offers you.
Why Spam Cannot Be Stopped
Relying on multiple different parser's implementation of the "auto semicolon insertion guesser" feature seems insane to me.

I'm a python/haskell guy too, I hate semicolons. But I'll put up with them because javascript needs them, it doesn't enforce them, but to write sane, maintainable code it really needs them.

Javascript is enough of a mess, this kind of thing just throws gas on the fire.

Have you published your branch? I think it would be very useful.
I've had a few Apple machines over the years (mainly as test machines and toys). I've had two MacBooks, one MacBook Pro, an iMac and a couple of Mac Minis. I have nothing now other than a cheap second hand desktop PC (and some cash in pocket!):

I agree with the build quality - they are good quality as in good materials and good fit. However, with my EE cap on, the designs themselves are bad and are quite dangerous. When there is literally that amount of LiPoly cells sitting inside a chassis, you want to be able to isolate the power. One bit of water in it and it's effectively an incendiary device. I've seen one recent MacBook Pro (pre-thunderbolt) go up with my own eyes quite spectacularly and wouldn't want something you can't drop the cells out of rapidly if you inevitably pour your coffee in it.

With regards to the software, I found the OSX environment inconsistent and XCode absolutely terrible. The OSX environment is inconsistent from the "task focused" application designs that you see. Every shipped application has its own set of behaviours and pretty much ignores a common standard resulting in head scratching. The keyboard shortcuts system is horrid and doing anything without the trackpad is hard work. XCode was just a mismash of concepts thrown together badly. As a comparison point, Visual Studio is a lot more mature and consistent and that is saying something.

The whole Apple/OSX ecosystem is a good attempt but it's not good enough for the money on the basis that some of the fundamentals are flawed. I'd actually throw more money behind Microsoft at the moment as they are heading in what I percieve to be the right direction. Apple started at a good point and have got worse. Microsoft started at a bad point and are getting better.

TBH however, the best OS/hardware ecosystem I've come across so far was SunOS4 and Sun4 architecture in the early 90s.

Inactive memory is good for you. Purging it just means that the disk cache is gone and files have to be read back from disk next time you access them.

The author of the article might have seen problems with swapfiles growing, but he certainly does not have the tools or experience needed to accurately find the cause of those problems. So I wouldn't trust what he says very much.

If you have a situation where it seems like the system is stalling or using too much memory, please do run sysdiagnose (see the man page for the handy key combo) and attach it to a report at bugreport.apple.com.
I fully agree with this. CSS set the web back years with it's inability to handle simple layout. The W3C organization is run by representatives of major corporations, and the standards take years to roll out.
