With sadness, I think the broad answer is likely never. For a given piece of hardware Linux support generally improves over time, but new hardware continually comes out so support is continually behind. You need the OS vendor, the kernel authors, and the hardware vendor to all be in sync for this kind of thing to work out well.

With that out of the way, it is possible to diagnose and fix the problem yourself. sudo apt-get install powertop, read some docs, experiment a bit. (Right here is where someone injects "buy a Mac".) And if you go the "safe" route and pick a laptop popular with Linux users, like a Thinkpad, you'll likely have better luck. My laptop (an X201) gets around 6 hours and I haven't changed anything.
Have to mention Ghostery: http://www.ghostery.com/download

"Ghostery allows you to detect trackers on the sites you visit, learn more about the companies behind them, and control their visibility into your online behavior."

> "But Johnson is far from unique. As I found out when I travelled across the US last year, atheists live in isolation and secrecy all over the country."

That statement makes me sick. So horribly incorrect.

I'm tempted to guess that the author spends a lot of time around religious groups and churches, and thus, doesn't see many atheists on a daily basis.

I, on the other hand, spend almost no time around churches, and when I traveld across the USA 4 times in the past 3 years, I met a lot of atheists - and they definitely weren't in isolation.
Mine is a Thinkpad too, but I'm pretty sure buying the Edge series was a mistake.

Yes, by a factor of 15 or so (from the article).
If music is devalued, it's because a) there is vastly more of it than there has ever been and b) other media compete for the same money.

If I were a musician in it for the money, I'd put my music out on every available channel (even free ones), then make money on tours and exclusive merchandise.

Way back before piracy and good streaming services, the average person could not easily discover new music. Now they get exposed to all sorts of stuff through these channels, and there is very little barrier to listen to something. This then turns into people buying concert tickets etc.
If you live in a small town of 1000 and you are one of the handful of atheists, Christians, Muslims, blacks, or whatever, then of course everyone will give you the looks. Try going to a community of nudist and wearing only a g-string. Live where like minded people live, and save yourself the trouble.
Pretty nifty idea, i'd be interested in having something along these lines in my project (We're doing website monitoring http://www.verelo.com and provide a basic traceroute when something goes wrong)

Have you considered selling this as a service to someone like say, me? I'd be pretty great for us to do an api request for a traceroute, and get back a json response of the route data and maybe a link which displays the image.

Just an idea.
The saddest thing for me is how many great games and companies are on this list. The following are all games I bought, paid for and loved (one per firm):

Thief
Deus Ex
Battlezone 2
Syndicate Wars
Magic and Mayhem
Planescape: Torment
Startopia
Hostile Waters

The only one on this list I didn't play through to the end is Syndicate Wars, because it's rock hard.

Seriously, how come they don't make games like this anymore? Maybe, sadly, the answer is that I'm unusual. :(
It's a great idea, but it's not very removable on Chrome, it blocked all cookies till I reinstalled Chrome. May have been fixed by now.
This is a poor article since few readers will have any idea what point he is making. No references are provided nor insights into what exactly is meant by saying they don't support their creators.

Is it a comment about the studios having gone out of business because subsequent titles were not as popular?

Is it an acknowledgment of the fact most game developers work long hours for below market rate pay, and receive no royalties for their creations?

Is it a comment that distributors like Steam, or corporate fat cats take all the money?

No idea.
This reads like a Thomas Friedman article, and I don't mean that in a good way.

I think there is a sample bias there, many parts of the country has a large religious base so it's likely neighborhoods are filled with people of similar beliefs. There are plenty of humanitarian work not affiliated with religion, like Doctors without Borders, Charity Water and recently the K.I.N.D fund.
This is a list of games produced by defunct studios. Whether a business closes or not may have something to do with piracy... and maybe it doesn't. It's a fairly large jump to make, but that's the apparently desired implication.
Look, these studios/developers had the choice between retaining the copyrights themselves (thereby securing royalties for the life of sales of that particular product) leaving distribution and sales up to themselves, or selling the copyrights to a distributor for a fist full of cash...guess which option they chose! (protip: its the latter!)

Almost every developer I know who works for a large studio is paid by the hour for the work they do, not paid in stock, promises of shares of future royalties or in magic beans!

I'm not sure I want to live in a world where people help make one single (semi-popular) product and expect to live off it for the rest of their lives...
Yes, absolutely right. All bets are off during puberty. You're undergoing massive physiological changes, caused by hormonal changes the likes of which you'll never see again (until menopause, if you're female). I had a lot of this trouble as a teenager; it often seemed like I simply had no retention, and I consistently forgot skills (mainly math) that I had thought to be committed to reflexive memory.

My bet is that this stuff will be sorted once your body settles down. And maybe well before then.
Perhaps I did not clearly explain myself. It is no secret that you can write a async server in just about any language. Node's creator spent considerable time doing just that in C and Ruby before starting on Node, in fact.

However, creating a working solution does not free you of problems. Being bound to an obtuse language or API, for instance, is still a problem. One that will continue to haunt you for as long as the application lives.

Java Struts was, once upon a time, the framework of choice for web development. While it solved some problems, it created a whole new set of its own. A little known character, DHH, laughed at it and set out to build something better. While Java can produce a web application as well as any other, Rails became a big hype machine because it solved problems people had on the implementation side.

I recall EventMachine had a little bit of hype before Node came along, but it didn't solve the problem very well. Few supporting libraries supported asynchronous operation and the language just didn't feel right. I imagine your Java libraries suffer the same problem, and that is why they never saw much hype either.

Javascript, on the other hand, was designed to be asynchronous from the beginning. It had the perfect expressiveness for the job, and the libraries were all built to work in the environment. That is what made Node interesting, and why the hype followed. It solved peoples problems.
Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't own a Mac so it will take some time to fix this bug.
Also, the term doesn't apply exclusively to battlefields: the MPAA has been effectively waging asymmetrical warfare against the far larger technology industry in Congress for decades.

The mirror of #4 is up: http://d2cb4q5pwp3op.cloudfront.net/music_for_programming_4-...
I live in Boston and I'm a Christian and it's a little weird because most of the people I meet are not interested in things of faith at all. Some people I work with tried to guess my upbringing and guessed raised Catholic and now never goes to church. I told them that I was raised atheist and now you'll find me at church every Sunday. People were fairly surprised. I don't meet too many people who go to church around here so it's rare and I understand their reaction. They were all nice to me about it though.

All that said I think atheists run into the problem of not their behavior but rather the behavior of "that guy". You know him. Maybe you are him. It's "that guy who can't shut up and says insulting things about people who believe in anything spiritual at all" But "that guy" is a pain to be around. I worked with "that guy" once and hearing him compare my beliefs to the flying spaghetti monster was pretty ignorant and if I valued his opinion more than I do would have been insulting. He would repeat this week after week seemingly escalating his rhetoric to upset me. I have long since worked out how I feel about all this so I held my own just fine. My only point in mentioning him is that for another person this might have been pretty annoying and upsetting.

I've run into "that guy" on multiple occasions-enough to notice who he is and steer clear at parties and at work. The only advice I have for you is if you are that guy or find yourself being that guy just stop. You're giving all reasonable, just don't believe in God but don't want to hassle you non-believers a really bad name. Though so do Sam Harris and Dawkins so maybe you should avoid them too.

You meeting some atheists that weren't isolated doesn't mean that isolated atheists don't exist.

The author isn't saying that all atheists are isolated, but rather that there are many atheists that are.

It's like me saying:

"I saw a lot of black cats when driving across the country."

and you replying:

"Nonsense, I drove across the country and saw plenty of white cats but no black ones, therefore there cannot be black cats all over the country."

You said you spend no time around churches. Isn't a church exactly the kind of place an "in the closet" atheist would feel most isolated, and have to maintain the most secrecy?
You'd be worth a billion or two yeah (I'm not sure if the google and yahoo finance charts are split-adjusted, I'll assume they are in which case, since MSFT's peak corresponded to an AAPL high tide ($25 in December 1999, up from $4 in January 1998 and would fall to $7.5 by December 2000) and the ratio was ~2:1 (both stocks have split 2:1 since so that does not need to be taken in account) he'd own 5.76 million AAPL shares worth... $2.6bn (at the current $459 price))
This story sounds like an artificial lead-in to an "Agile saves the day" follow-up post, but there are other things going on here. There is a lack of ability by the lead to guide the team to sanity.

Here's what I see needs to be done:

* Stop using agile if you don't have buy in from the owners. Agile is much more dangerous than traditional methods if you do not have the right buy-in from the owners--and that buy-in is not easy to get. Without buy-in, you've just given them the ability to minutely control the expected output without the expense of researching and designing a base set of functionality up-front. It's "free" for them to change their mind--so they will, at your expense.

* Tell the lead to stop being a robot. Alice is given a task that is blocked by an old bug. Instead of just assigning a more suitable task to Alice, she is told to bring in another developer to help her work through it. Why stick with this task? The world isn't binary, so break up your task and assignments into something that fits the talent you have.

Yes, developers are not fungible completely, but there should be tasks that anyone should be able to slip in and do. It's the lead's role to be able to decide which tasks are assignable to someone new with reduced risk. Maybe start them out on just identifying the cause for Bug XXX--not actually fixing the code. Or have them confirm and document repro steps for the bugs that are coming in every day. You don't have to always give developers development tasks, especially their first week.

* Tell the lead to start taking care of the team. The story mentions developers who got pulled into meetings, preventing them from doing their job. As a lead, you should be providing some interference and getting in the way of these type of requests.

* Tell the lead to stop over complicating things. Why are there so many bugs? Part of this is that the employees are overworked. I suspect that part of it is also that the framework and processes are over-complicated. A custom build of a tool that completely breaks everything? That's a process smell. The lead needs to figure out why its so easy to introduce bugs in their system. "The requirements are all necessary" phrase also fall into the implementation as well. Think YAGNI and KISS.

As for the loss of productivity by "Alice": every new developer adds growing pains to a team, but that definitely should not persist. It's a short-sighted view that one week of lost productivity will erase any long-term benefits of an additional employee. But, you need to plan training time for a new employee into your schedule. Also, since it doesn't sound like you have it already, have the new employee document the steps for the next new employee. That will help reduce the growing pain costs over time.

If you assume good faith that statement can't be incorrect. All the author claims is that there are atheists living in secrecy and isolation all over the country. He does not claim that all atheists do that.

It's not incorrect. Just because you and some people you met were open about it doesn't mean that others keep it secret for various reasons.

When I was in the Army and in Bosnia I would eat in the chow tent every night. I was a private and there was a sergeant that worked there that I would chat with almost every night. Keep in mind that I was a private and he was a sgt, so he had a lot of power over me. One night he asked if I was a "good christian boy", and I said "nope, I'm an atheist". He never spoke to me again and would give me dirty looks if we ever made eye contact.

I learned pretty quick to keep my atheism to myself in the military. I've also learned that the same is true in many parts of this country.
i guess if it has more traits of ape it would have same rights as ape, and vice versa.

Introducing Accthub
"That guy" happens on both sides of the issue. I work with many nice, normal, polite people who happen to be theists. They don't proselytize. We get along - issues of faith/belief/supernatural generally don't even come up. Every now and then I meet a "fire and brimstone" type, who makes a point of raising issues of belief with everyone they meet, all the time. That person is pretty rare, just like the proselytizing atheist is rare (but out there too). It's more about personality than belief, imo. As long as your beliefs don't get in my way on a personal level, that's fine.

Now... where I do have problems is when personal belief issues spill over in to larger civic life and are made in to public issues. That's what voting is for, and uninformed voters scare me, regardless of religious belief/non-belief. It's easier to see many larger sects of religious believers voting in lock-step on many topics than it is to see non-believers voting, and makes an easier target for discussion, especially around this time every 4 years in the US. :)
The emotional management is a big part of what Buddhism, and many other philosophies, focus on. Eg consider the following two situations:

1. You approach your goal, you're excited and happy that you made it, and once you're done you're happy when you set a new goal. Even if you don't achieve your goals, you're happy throughout the whole process.

2. As you nearly complete a goal, you feel like it's not as big a deal, and you're mad about the fact that you're not at a further goal.

There's no simple, 5 minute fix to these problems-but emotional management is something that can be learned and highly worth investigating.
Once on HN I read a blog post that said great writing only comes from facing ones deepest fears. It is really a brilliant way to sum it all up. Any other kind of writing is just dull.

It is only you who knows what it is that you fear the most. Everybody knows his own fears. Most people cannot face them. So if you want your ability back face the fear that is holding you back, challenge it, fight it, beat it and then write it.
Ask HN: Which is better, Avast or McAfee?

The world population is not experiencing exponential growth. It's experiencing logistical growth (i.e, following a logistical function rather than an exponential function). We've just been seeing the first half of the curve, which does approximate exponential growth.

But we're starting to see it turn around. In the most developed countries, fertility has dropped to replacement or lower. As the remaining countries develop, their fertility rates are also dropping. It's reasonable to extrapolate from this that at some point in the future, the global fertility rate will be at or below replacement.

The constraints are microeconomic. It's expensive to raise children, especially when you factor in opportunity costs (this part is key to why world population won't stabilize at starvation levels). When you give people birth control, people seem to make a rational economic decision about how many children to have. That provides the feedback mechanism you mentioned.

Form matters, but so does plagiarism. It's one thing to paraphrase and present information from another source in an easier to read manner; it's another to lift entire phrases word for word without attribution. As others have pointed out, the attribution was only added after the complaint here on HN, and only addressed those particular phrases, it did not list any other sources that may have been used.
I'm missing something. Why allow people to 'authenticate against [a machine] via ssh' at all if you don't want them to run any program there or use any ssh services on that machine?

(It seems one of the reasons you might want to allow someone an ssh account without a shell would be to give them a proxy with an internal IP address – a feature not a bug. Alternatively, it's possible every user casually ssh-enabled on these machines already had equivalent port-forwarding and shell capabilities on some other 'inside' machines, so this 'insecurity' is trivial.)

Quite nice! Kudos for what appears to be a significant setup for Augmented Reality.
That makes no sense though. Assuming exponential growth, then it wouldn't grow as a sphere going at the speed of light. The derivative would be a quadratic, not a exponential curve. So if anything that would only approximate the growth for a couple days, at which point exponential would take over. But this presupposes that the humans started on the earth at 5000 AD, where in reality we will have almost certainly taken over venus (aside: Venus is a much more likely target for human colonization than Mars) and probably have several space station states which could easily move at near the speed of light away from the earth.
