You know, you're probably right, I think I'm off about 2 years.

Yeah, in my BBS days I remember downloading MOD files and demo videos. I still remember being blown away by Future Crew.
Agree. I never understand these dichotomies people set up. Why can't we just have both? The US system is a good balance, at least at the moment- you have an option to do either, with cards widely accepted except for a few ma and pa bars and restaurants.

"it appears to draw in heat energy from its surroundings instead. When it gets more than 100 percent electrically-efficient, it begins to cool down, stealing energy from its environment to convert into more photons."

Am I reading this correctly?? Did they actually find a way to create light AND cool down environment the same time? Could this be some sort of a breakthrough in cooling devices??
there won't be nothing. Cops whether break law or not don't get in trouble, by the rule. There is exemption but its a statistical noise just to make people feel like there is a justice.
UEFI is a codebase of comparable size to the Linux kernel, with rather less testing. Problematic bugs are somewhat inevitable, no matter how good the people implementing it.

One thing that has always killed me in regards to non-Apple laptops is the touchpad. Everyone does it wrong. By this I mean that they're small and not very sensitive, the attempts to integrate scrolling are janky. Anyone care to comment on the current status of that?

A lot of people dislike Apple but the subtle things like this are what keep me here. It's so simple to scroll and click and right click with just light and simple taps.

Is it primarily a software issue? OSS hasn't caught up?

One tip I've read is that you should try to study in different physical locations (coffee shop, library, different areas of the house, at a park, etc). The brain associates sounds, smells, and different environments with memories.

If you study in the exact same spot every time, you will not remember as much.

This is definitely a prototype and at best a first step. I am looking to sign up beta-testers, so get in contact if you are interested.

Your point about type inference is great. I'm keen on Haskell and I do like the idea of an editor in which I can only write code that compiles.

As a Swede, I always bring cash. Heading to the bar? Already have cash in the wallet. Grabbing a taxi home late at night? No need to worry that I don't have enough cash on me.

Store temporarily only accept cash due to some error? Replace panic with nonexistent queue.

Regardless of whether you always pay cash or always pay with a card and regardless of whether you value privacy or not - you should always, in my opnion, have some cash with you. That has served me well and I've never in my life regretted having too much cash on me. The day I get robbed the cash I have on me is the least of my worries, if anything having an empty wallet might be provoking to someone that just tried to rob you (or a lot of money might get him (or her) greedy and ask for more, you never know).

Note to self: Get rid of (and remember) the CCV code on the card and destroy the magnet stripe on my card. Anything not working with the chip isn't worth the hassle nor worth the trust of using a card (that might sound strange for some but in Sweden the use of the magnet stripe is quite rare).
Simulations only go so far. What if there was some sort of weird interaction between an iPad and the magnetic field of the earth at altitude, or cosmic rays, or something—I obviously don’t know what.

But whatever it is, you don’t want to do all your tests in a “simulation,” then have some scientists say “Oops, our bad, we forgot to simulate lower pressure or increased gamma rays or what-have-you,” when we can simply fly the device and all of our testing equipment.

Section 304 defines the right to subsidize oil companies if the cost of supply goes up. It also allows them to create loan guarantees of any size to prop up a favored industry or business.

Section 308 gives the right to the government to install THEIR OWN equipment in a private facility and to expand it and determine the operating procedure for that facility that the government deems to be in the best interest of preserving a critical resource.

The government could basically take over any private industry or sector under this order for the purposes of national defense whether we are in a state of emergency OR NOT.
It's an update to a very similar order from 1994:

Perhaps they aren't willing to assume that the electronics in planes are as shielded as they're supposed to be.

What confuses me is why they don't ensure that planes' electronics are properly shielded rather than testing a bunch of electronics that emit very weak to weak EM. If a cell phone could create problems for a flight during take-off, what about a lunatic pointing a HERF weapon at the plane?
Nott sure what you mean, could it be that you are just too accustomed to the apple touchpad? I can scroll and move the pointer just fine on mine.

“No one makes bad software on purpose” is not strictly true: many esoteric programming languages are designed to be “bad” in interesting ways. That extends to any subversion of highly-regarded tropes in games and other media, even the non-interactive kind. It’s also not true that “in order for people to say ‘this sucks’ they have to care enough about the thing you’ve made to spend time with it and recognize how bad it is”. People routinely criticise programming languages and other software they’ve never used before, even if said software doesn’t actually suck much at all.

My 2 cents as a Swede:

Lots of small businesses here in Stockholm refuse to accept cards under 50 kr ($8-9) because of the high fees mentioned in the article. Also if you're out at club, you get faster service if you just use cash. At various semi-official student parties "Cash is king!" is often mentioned in the invitation.

Not to mention loyalty to small businesses (knowing how much it costs for them), privacy concerns and plain old style / swiftness.

If you're willing to restrict yourself to a couple of models like you have to with the Mac, then you can get a laptop that comes with Linux, like those from System76[1].

The only reason you have warning is because people want to use Linux on machines not supported by the manufacturer, but guess what: the same thing would happen with OS X.

Dan Bernstein recently posted a page on getting Ubuntu working with a current-gen MacBook Air: http://cr.yp.to/hardware/air.html

Some of that information might be useful.
"Any device maker who doesn’t contribute financially to the testing won’t be added to the new updated list of approved electronics devices on planes."

Really? Your suggestion is that someone checks specific models against a special approved list that has nothing to do with the actual EMI standards met by the device?
I've added the following to my grub options (this helps a lot if you use Gnome3 like me): pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1

Which makes the complete entry look like:

title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda5 ro pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1

I also use thinkfan to keep reasonable fan speeds along with the ondemand cpu-frequency scaling policy on battery power keep power usage down. I also minimize disk usage by taking advantage of my 8GB of memory and placing /tmp in tmpfs. These days I usually get 8-10 hours of actual use on a single charge, but most of that is writing/running code and browsing the web. If you usually do something more CPU taxing, you'll probably run closer to 5-7 hours. That's using the 9-cell battery that juts out from the case slightly and a low power SSD.

The most annoying part of the X220 is the buttonless clickpad. It works really well if you use the tap to click features, especially since the multi-touch lets you scroll around and double/triple click with multi-taps, but in the end I just couldn't get used to tap to click. Using the actual click/button, click and drag is so horribly broken with clickpads on Linux (and even Windows, if you ask me), that I gave up on that fairly quickly too. Finally I just disabled the touchpad in the BIOS. The touchpoint works too well to bother stressing over the ill-conceived touchpad on this model.

The IPS screen is great, but there is some occasional ghosting. It's only a temporary effect though, so it's a price I'll gladly pay for having a better image than any of the external monitors here in the house. It's also extremely bright, so I suggest turning down the brightness a few steps and letting your eyes adjust, otherwise you'll unknowingly burn your eyeballs out.

The battery also has a little bit of looseness when it's locked in. Based on what I've seen on other forums, this one's hit or miss, with some people having the same problem and many others not. Overall though, the laptop feels fairly solid without being heavy, but it's not nearly as solid as the X120e (which feels dependable) or the aluminum-body Macbooks.

Finally, the keyboard on this thing is great. The keys are nice and big, the escape key is prominent and in the right spot, and the quality of the tactile feedback is perfect.

If I had to choose all over again, I would've gotten an X220T, since I underestimated how much I use my wacom tablet, but other than that, I'm quite happy with the X220.

I feel like I'm missing something. He needs a "stack of magazines" to read during taxiing, take-off, and landing?

To my knowledge, I'm not a slow reader, nor do I have an unusual amount of patience (quite the contrary), but I can't imagine making it through a magazine, much less a stack of them, during the time I usually spend unable to use electronics on a plane.
I picked up a Acer Ultra-book. Fedora supports the entire thing short of the multitouch on the touchpad...
I tried running other operating systems on my Apple laptop with the large touch-pad and none of the other laptops I tested were able to reduce the sensitivity or do typing detection properly to prevent random mouse clicks while I type. With the large touch-pad, part of my palm rests on the touch-pad while typing. Without good detection the laptop becomes almost useless.

It's such a minor thing, but it is the major reason I went back to OS X over Linux. It was also the item that really made me appreciate how much detail Apple puts into their interfaces.
I was also wondering about that -- why are touchpads on most laptops so small? But I don't agree that OSS hasn't caught up, scrolling by sliding along the edges of the touchpad (my personal favourite) has been available in GNOME for years.
Seems to be a trend nowadays attacking the fact that lone geniuses exist and tend to be outside the direct control of bankers and bureacratic corporations.

Crick and Watson never claimed to be lone geniuses working in their garage alone when they decoded DNA, so debunking that they are lone geniuses is not a particularly compelling argument. However, hallucinations brought on by LSD trips were a key factor, which is interesting and seems to have contributed more to their success than working in a well funded lab at a corporation, though that certainly had its own benefits as well as disadvantages.

It's also never been contested that lone geniuses do in fact build upon previous work and discoveries made throughout history, in addition to making their own contributions. So pointing that out is not debunking "the myth" of lone geniuses either.

Tesla, Erastothenes, Philo Farnsworth, even Einstein in the patent office all came up with original ideas.

It's interesting when there is a flurry of articles making coordinated attacks upon the very idea of creative individualism. Often when things are so coordinated there is a PR firm behind it. Who is their client is the question I ask.
Agreed.

It's a shame the author (mjg59?) did not respond to hpa's comment - it seems the "obvious" solution.
Indeed I (SEO engineer for a large publisher) spend 70% of my time giving feed back to our developers on how to build a site correctly - whats the best way to handle pagination or faceting on a 10M page site for example.
I realize that is one thing that classes offer. My point is that you can achieve exactly the same thing with objects rather than classes.

Very often when writing Python (or whatever) you'll create a class which is only ever instantiated once and the instantiation is done simply for the benefit of calling one method.

In such cases I find classes to be overkill. What I really want is the object. I don't need to factor the object's behavior out into a class.

Many of my sympathies are expressed much more thoroughly and eloquently in the many papers you can find online by Walter Smith outlining the motivations behind NewtonScript.
Great article, and it's cool that you came here to post it yourself, but it looks like you accidentally released an unfinished draft. Emphasis mine:

"The last time this testing was done was 2006, check long before iPads and most e-readers existed."

"Of 50 incidents in the most recent report get link check from last year, few had anything to do with cockpit interference."

You also said, "buy the end of 2012".

It's neat to see the behind-the-scenes shorthand used in story drafts.
I thought the same thing, but...

if someone's a frequent flyer, the routine is going to get monotonous. You'll need a moderate stack of magazines if you're stuck on the runway for another half hour. Change planes once or twice, and you'll really be wishing you had a lot more reading material. magazines are generally half ads, so you'll get tired of those reading those.

Overall, I sort of agree with you - it seems a little over the top, but it's probably not unreasonable for many people. A stack of newspapers would be lighter, but they're usually too big to deal with for extended reading in economy/coach seats.
You wouldn't know until you've used the touchpad on an Macbook.

With both my desktop and my wife's, I can't remember the last time we had a major hardware incompatibility with Linux. Both were built piecemeal. Since Ubuntu added their restricted drivers installer, I haven't had a problem with many hardware issues. Wireless cards, video drivers, it's all been there.

There has just been one thing I haven't been able to get working quite right and had to compile my own driver for, and that's a Logitech G13. It's different enough that generic drivers don't work, and rare enough and complicated enough that no one else had submitted drivers before.
Sorry about that. It may work, but some hardware batches dmaand replays it when enabled. I want to check whether that solved the problem before really commenting on it. The other risk is that there are some drivers that (brokenly) depend on the current behaviour. It may be easier to fix it in the boot loader.
What if they put all the iPads on a flight, and there was still no interference? Could they all be approved after that flight?

(Of course, it's a gamble, since a single bad device could ruin the certification for all of them, but I think it's a smart gamble.)
It really seems to me that all this regulation about personal devices is just more theatre. Or some kind of psychological strategy to emphasize to the passengers who is in control.

If a cell phone or an iPod could really cause harmful interference with the avionics, they would not be allowed at all.

You realize Macbook touchpads are buttons right?

They have left click and right click with button action. It's just as intuitive as having 2 separate buttons, and even more so because of how customizable it is.
You must not be from New York. At LGA or JFK, it's quite common to sit on the runway for 45-60 minutes when taking off, or to be held in a holding pattern for at least as long when landing.
MM so your the annoying person who isn't organized enough to bring cash and causes long queues at the bar or coffee shop when I am buying my morning coffee and paper at the train station.

The more you use your card the more chance of getting skimmed using cash for small purchases is a way of reducing your attack surface.
As a swede I never have cash on me anymore. But when I lived in Tokyo, the situation was reversed: low crime levels, high prices and nowhere to use a card, all contributed to me walking around with on average about $500 on any given day. That was a decade ago, though.
Which is why you have to find the cracks in the inefficient market. Thank god for passionate individuals not driven primarily by money.
While you have a point about carrying cash I just have an irrational dislike towards change. The damn coins are heavy, close to worthless much of the time and overall annoying.

And I have barely ever encountered a situation where the card machine is broken,at least not in recent years but it can of course happen.

'Removing' the CCV and magnetic stripe is actually a good idea - Wouldn't trust most (Swedish) places that don't use the chip to read the card data.
Is magazine publishing dying?
We're talking about Ultrabooks here. Which is a "new" form factor with, probably, weird hardware to get the size/weight down. You can't install OS X on a Thinkpad, either, the hardware wasn't meant for it. So yes, as long as OEMs don't provide Linux drivers, you won't be able to install Linux on any random device without worrying about hardware issues (and I'm not trying to say that they should provide Linux drivers, no value judgement going on here).

However, if you use hardware that is fully supported, the Linux experience is trouble-free. Just like the OS X experience is trouble-free if you use a fully supported device (a Mac).
I'd be curious to find out how performance varies by the age in which someone learns that new language. It's possible that the harmful effects affecting development only happen in childhood, whereas in later years the benefits may be more pronounced.

When discussing attention and multitasking, the experts are the ones who are able to switch tasks in the least amount of time and get going on something completely different. Perhaps bilingualism helps in this analogous situation as well.
The touchpad on the Zenbook is absurdly bad, nearly unusable. I was hoping they would stick with the Elantech found on the Eees (these are rather well supported) but instead it's a 'Sentelic.'
A linked article:

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/25/disruptions-tests-c...

mentions some measured electronic emissions from kindle and other devices (razor, recorder). In some ways it doesn't matter what might actually be allowed. If an attendant tells you to shut it off, and you don't, you're in violation of their rules. If I took a razor on and started shaving during takeoff, I'm betting I'd be told to shut that off.
This seems like an odd re-framing. You could make the same claim about any technical specification - e.g. there's nothing inherently more battery consuming about 10 petaFLOPS, it's just the way current hardware is done.

We can take it as given that any article talking about the weaknesses of a current technology is referring to its current hardware implementation.

Just launched. Free service to get updates when repos you watch are updated with new tags. You can select which ones you want notifications for and how often you want emails. Currently only support Github, but if enough demand, we can add support for BitBucket.

For those who are wondering the purpose, Github's newsfeed isn't enough to really know when repos are updated. The ideas is to choose repos you use often, say Twitter Bootstrap, htmlpurifier, etc and then you can update however you are using these repos into your projects.

Hope you guys find it useful.
Not quite the same. For example, what happens when you run out of room on a drag-and-drop operation? You're holding down the whole track pad so you have two options: add a second hand to hold the button, which can make the cursor do weird things, or start over giving yourself more room. With a hardware button this isn't an issue.

That said, the Apple track pads are incredibly high-quality and I generally like them. I do miss the hardware buttons from time to time, though.
I'm quadrilingual and recently I had an interesting discussion with a friend of mine about other types of languages such as programming languages.

I was thinking about how I never "look at the language's documentation" when a book or tutorial tells me to.

As a beginner/intermediate coder myself, I can't just "look at online documentation" because I don't truly understand how to use it and understand properly. Does anyone have a good resource for learning how to use documentation?

I know that may sound trivial to experienced hackers, and possibly paradoxical, but I'm actually quite sincere about this request.
