Chrome 17 OSX10.6.18 - sometimes a new font loads on one click, sometimes on two or three+ clicks. This may be due to a slow internet connection - maybe the first click registers then takes several moments to load the next font? Also there's no visual feedback that clicking on a page area will go forward/back. Sometimes a pointer cursor appears, sometimes it doesn't.

Poor UI design. I'll stick with Google web fonts or the multitude of commercial font sites.
If it is India, you are probably too poor to be literate, or if literate, you have very little time to engage in privilege of reading books. So the answer is I guess, you don't. Pretty much like you don't get (decent) healthcare for poor in US.
There's also the issue of not identifying the minor involved (at least in Australian law).

So "Joe Bloggs was convicted of molesting his niece" would not be able to be reported, since it could identify the victim.

And "A man was convicted of molesting his niece" isn't really news - if it's all anonymous, then it probably needs to be a trend story. And thankfully the trend seems to be downwards, though I suspect there's still a tragic amount of unreported crimes of this nature.

AWS is cost effective in some scenarios while not in others. It really strongly depends on actual needs, what resources are needed, in what proportion, etc. There is an article which tries to answer if Amazon is really the cheapest provider: http://blog.cloudorado.com/2011/08/is-amazon-cheapest-cloud-...

You can compare the prices with custom configurations of multiple providers with Cloudorado - http://www.cloudorado.com.
That's of course the entire point - they're meant to be close to universally true. Yet people get suckered in by them.

When I first heard about it, I wanted to test it out, so I found a phone chatline and went on it, and left some inane greeting message stating I was a psychic and asking people to tell me tree things about themselves and I'd tell them something about them.

No matter what they told me, I'd read out the statement from the Forer "personality analysis" verbatim to them (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forer_effect), and about half of the people who had sent me messages were amazed (keeping in mind they'd self selected as someone who'd answer someone who claimed to be psychic...), and a few more were a bit skeptical but admitted I'd gotten a lot of it right. A couple insisted I must really be a psychic even after I admitted to what I'd done...

And this was while totally ignoring the free information they'd given me in their original messages.

Only one out of twenty or so "caught" that the statement were close to universally true.

Of course that's a small heavily biased sample with no controls, but it was pretty shocking to me how easily it was.

Ubuntu Studio. Its taken quite a beating, but works absolutely wonderfully with my studio equipment.

The audio experience with this setup is better than that of Mac OSX - but of course I had to choose my hardware well, and administer a good chunk of it myself before it got that way (Presonus Firewire-based audio I/O, complete removal of Pulseaudio, Jack+FFADO configuration) Nothing beats being able to easily install, modify, and compile the sources of every bit of useful software you're using - especially things like audio effects/synthesis plugins, and so on. Need to tweak a filter? Easy: install sources, modify, re-package, install new version. Can't do any of that on Mac OSX nearly as smoothly on Linux.
LiPo batteries explode if you short them. Doesn't even need to be a very long short, or a very big one. They are incredibly sensitive to fast discharges. Water easily conducts well enough to cause problems, especially if it messes up another power conduit. It isn't guaranteed to catch fire, but the risk is certainly there, especially in such a thin form factor - you don't have much space in there for containment or fancy routing to reduce the chances of a short.

Again, it's not guaranteed, but Airs are rather more at risk than other laptops because of their construction.

In Firefox it is only a matter of right click on a search-form input + click on "Add keyword for this Search...". Couldn't be easier than this. Reading the DDG help on available shortcuts takes me longer. (In Chrome it is harder and they should really copy the Firefox user experience)

Using DDG for such functionalities makes no sense when this particular feature should be a feature of the browser.

Strategic resource storage and strategic industry development was a big part of making me start questioning libertarianism. I then learned a bit about common power dynamics and met a lot of people who felt trapped in bad situations getting screwed around with, and the break was made for me.

I'm still sympathetic to the cause, and think libertarians are really fantastic people who believe immensely in human potential. I also know the counterarguments -- at what cost?, etc, etc -- but I'm glad the USA built industry that wouldn't necessarily be economical on the timeframes that standard capital investments generally look for.

> I can't see the point of “Stop” button. It's not a home video player. If you want to stop the video, just close the window. If you want to pause, just pause. You don't need a stop.

No, you do not need a stop button, in your use. Stop and pause are very different for Discs and streams (and timeshifting). How do you navigate in your playlist when the video is just paused?

> Then there are these “play order” buttons. Come on, do you really watch 20 videos in row? There's a YouTube for that. Useless.

Yup, and he's fixing memory problems with "repair disk permissions", not sure how that works.
But I would agree that sometimes the linux handling of memory is way better (but unfortunately I've been using linux for the last 15 years and saw some strange behavior there too).
Here are a few resources I found:

If they're the type of people who have to sort through the connections to all the other things they know, that can really take a lot of time. Actually, I don't think that you ever finish connecting the dots, but there are a lot of simple connections to make right when you get introduced to something new.

Also, confusion is a sign of learning. If there's no confusion at all, they think they already know it. Whether they're correct about that is another matter entirely.
> I don't know of any other language where people can CHOOSE to follow syntax.

Your argument is incorrect. :) Omitting semicolons is perfectly valid and correct syntax. The spec is explicit about it being allowed and how the code shall be interpreted: http://es5.github.com/

It may be a good rule of thumb to use the semicolons, because you have to be careful without them, but in the end it's a choice based on team preference. If you are a very pertinent and careful type of person, and you don't have any rabid illiterates on your team, going without semicolons makes perfect sense.
I think it's time to dust off the pg essay on wealth. Wall Street pay skyrocketed because of measurement and leverage: basically, you can trace millions of dollars of revenue to the actions of a single individual with a high degree of certainty. Does that opportunity exist in Silicon Valley? Yes, it exists in spades. The engineers at issue are not as sophisticated as Wall Street employees about extracting that value or taking advantage of a very fluid employment market, but they also didn't get where they are by being stupid, and if you're not stupid and your weekly reports are routinely sounding like "Oh BTW I made us two million bucks" then people are going to start giving you whatever it is you care to get out of the relationship. There just doesn't seem to be any a priori reason to me why $120k is the correct price for competent engineering in a world where productivity directly associated with software is measurably exploding. (That gets no less true at $240k, $360k, or $1024k.)

I don't know if I'd pick early startup employees as the likely beneficiaries of this dynamic, though. Some will end up working for the next Google and end up rich as kings, but that has a poor median-case outcome for individual engineers since they don't get to "invest" working years in 100 companies in parallel. If you want measurement and leverage there's a fairly good case to be made for going to work for the current Google (or AmaBookSoftEtc) and just engineer your transfer onto the pointy bit of the spear.
I've used this myself in the dim and distant past (there is still code in my area of responsibility that shows signs of it).

I find the much better method is to be strict about table names and aliases:

1: Always specify the table name with field names. Even if there is only one table in the query (if the query changes later to draw in data from another table, you don't have to go back and add the table references if they are already there). As well as avoiding name conflicts which will raise errors, it removes certain silent fails that are possible with correlated sub-queries when you don't explicitly note the intended scope by naming the object a column should be found on.

2: Always specify a short but meaningful alias for every object referenced in the query/view (such as "kpi_fact_definition AS kfd"). It makes the code more readable when every column reference has "<table>." prefixed.

2b: All aliases should be unique within the query/view even if the same object is referenced more than once where the scope of each reference means the names/aliases would not conflict. Also try to avoid using aliases that are visually similar (visually similar aliases can lead to typing errors being able to hide in plain view).

3: Make sure that all tables/views have meaningful names, even if they means them looking overly long. You are going to give them short aliases when you use them anyway.

Taking something apart can also work for this. But it might require that you're the sort of person who is able to put it back together again afterwards.

I feel you are being unfair about the uninformed rant. Picking at a couple of things I know about:

1) I've tried installing both Macports and homebrew, and some utils did not work, as whichever got put in the path first, confused the other. I suppose I could have made a seperate symlink directory, for just the binaries I wanted.

2) I found 'brew install coreutils' broke some build scripts , which expected proper mac tools, if I put them all in path.

3) I find about 10% of the time I try to install something from brew, it fails to build. g++ 4.6 failed just 20 minutes ago. That is a real pain.

I can't comment on the memory, except that I find my 4GB of RAM seems to go much further when I dual-boot my macbook into Linux. It might happen to be the programs that I run.

I've been using Fedora with KDE as my primary system for a year now. And after switching from f14 to f16 2 months ago I decided to leave KDE and try the gnome3 again (perhaps Unity on ubuntu). Why? Because KDE sucks. Ok, I should explain. KDE is great. So much better than gnome2 that people love for some very strange reason (but I guess some /same?:)/ people loved win95). I love its customizability. I like its unified feel across the apps. But out of the box feel is really bad. It looks bad, it works bad. I would say it's Fedora's problem as the KDE really is capable.. but still. Also, the apps are painful sometimes. But it's not different from GTK "suite" from what I've tried.

PS: It's my personal opinion of course. Maybe I'll switch back to KDE right after I try the Unity.

OK, I'll venture more into the OT, but I think the "pickup lines don't work" misses the point.

The point is, if you are a stud and the girl is attracted to you, almost anything works, even borderline sexist stuff.

If not, then yeah, you need a lot more work that some pickup line. But it's not like they rejected you because you used a lame line.
I said the majority of them were illegal.

Have you looked at the majority of pictures in r/jailbait, r/teen_girls, etc? If not, how can you say they were illegal?

The fact is, to determine whether they are CP or not, you have to make subjective considerations, since the objective criteria of the test (the focal point of the visual depiction and whether the subject is naked) were not fulfilled by most images there.

So the question is, how can you claim "the majority of them were illegal" when it's impossible to objectively determine that?

You can continue your conjecturing, but according to [the photographer and Cyrus][0], it was artistic.

And I'm sure plenty of r/teen_girls posters would tell you they're posting the images for their artistic value.

Oh, you mean all of those photos taken from their Facebook pages and Photobucket accounts without their permission? The photos meant only for themselves or their friends, spread across the Internet? Totally better than Miley Cyrus taking a single artistic photograph for Vanity Fair.

That's a completely different issue, don't muddle the discussion. We were discussing what is child pornography and the legality, not the privacy implications.

No, neither. I'm saying that compared to my recollections of rocketry history as well as news about recent activity in the commercial space, a timespan of 14 years until the first validation launch seems long considering the challenges the deliverable would seem to pose. I can of course readily speculate about many reasons about why this is so:

- They may be doing higher-quality work or proceeding more cautiously than other projects with similar goals.

- The rocket may have unique traits or capabilities that justify the development time despite the payload capacity being nothing eyebrow-raising.

- The definition of "start of development" used by the author of the Wikipedia statement may not match my expectation, i.e. there may have been a long market analysis and conception stage before engineers actually got to work.

- The project may not have enjoyed a steady level of activity for all of those 14 years.

- Funding may have been lower than for comparable projects.

- There could have been political, legal or financial problems ailing the project.

- I may simply be wrong and 14 years is not a long time at all for this kind of project.

And so on.

Basically, I'm hoping for someone who knows the actual answer to share their insight.
That would also be extremely frustrating if one argued that.
This whole thread is probably going nowhere, imo. The maintainer has valid reasons - and it's part of the spec. The issue raisers have their reasons - minifiers don't work for them. Here's the beauty of git and github, one can always run a fork :)

No hyperbole. The design is simply dangerous.

One glass of water on the desk (not in the machine!). Capillary action sucked water around the seal on the base. It was turned over to remove the battery and the sucked up water rained on the logic board resulting in all sorts of crackling, smoke etc and one dead MacBook.

Being a qualified and experienced EE, I'm qualified to say that it's electronics 101 to be able to isolate power (like every other vendor allows).

My understanding is that much of this is due to regressions in the kernel. Some of the more recent 3.2 kernels are supposed to fix it.
The battery is ok for direct exposure to water as it's well sealed but as you say the power output from them in short circuit is immense which results in fires if you can't isolate the supply. Water + high current = interesting :)
Free Indie Games not on TIGS / Indiegames: Robbing the Princess [OneDollar]
I like PG's analogy for the first two points - think of your product as a rectangle. One side is how much it improves people's lives (value) and the other is how many people use it (market). The bigger the rectangle, the more valuable your startup. For some products which have high social value, increase in one automatically leads to increase in the other.

The last one (having fun) may seem tangential, but in my experience can have a big positive impact on no.1. It's so much easier to keep pushing hard when it's fun.

May I ask if you've upgraded to Lion a few months ago? My 4 years old Macbook was not as bad as you described, but it does become a lot less stable than when it was under Snow Leopard. Even Safari does not work properly in Lion.

Snow Leopard was truly very stable, it's the best major version of OS X that I've used. I hope the minor OS X updates will fix out all of the Lion bugs.
