Pressing alt-space, m followed by the arrow keys usually worked when I was using XP.

On Windows 7 this is not an issue as the windows snap to the sides and top, and if you drag towards the bottom of the screen there are several pixels on the titlebar where you can only resize the window and not move it, it is really difficult to lose a window by dragging it as shown on the website.

Nice point! Valve has a special program just for cyber cafes (https://cafe.steampowered.com/index.php ). I have no idea how much it costs but you can pay some recurring subscription for access to a large number of titles. My impression is that most popular cafes pay this and it does very well for both Valve and the cafes.

Interesting, maybe in the future you have 2 options either a fully closed ecosystem or a fully open one.

I wonder if you will be able to use the open one to create stuff for the closed one?
Top Resources to Help You Learn Python Programming
A portion of college students rely on MS Office heavily, especially those majoring in Business, Accounting, Economics.

Project Managers and Business Analysts are another category of people who rely on MS Office heavily as well.

Programmers may not.
Baker said that the firm resisted the move because it wants to build products that people 'love', and added that using standards that are encumbered by patents does not support this.

This seems to be a perfect representation of what's wrong with Mozilla's stance regarding the whole video codec thing (and perhaps, in general). They conflate "what we think is good for the industry" (i.e. patent-free video dominating) with "what users love", and don't seem to realize that "what users love" is software that works. If someone using Firefox gets a substandard video experience to someone using any other browser (e.g. flash player instead of native video), that's not something they love. They don't know why this happens, all they know is Firefox gives them crappy video and Chrome gives them nice video.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that being against patent-encumbered video is a bad thing. I'm just saying their rationalization for this is bad.
This is one reason I like the Mac UI -- every document/file is its own window by default, so it's easy to put things side-by-side, even across monitors.
While typing on a tablet is certainly not ergonomic, iWork for iPad has pretty amazing user experience. It actually feels better and more intuitive than the Mac version thanks to touch and gestures.
Key quote:

"A lot of people are saying [about Daisey] 'Oh you didn't experience this yourself,'" Wozniak continued, "but in his style of art he's trying to help the audience experience these things. I never expected the show to be real. The 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' [the film about the early rivalry between Apple and Microsoft] was not completely accurate. How could it be? But the movie is very true in the way that matters most."

What I do like about this is that you can't just dismiss an argument, or a representation, because it makes a couple of mistakes. You can usually form a model of it with the errors removed and see what's left. As an argument it can continue to persuade and compel you.

What I don't like about this is that journalists are operating on the front line of history, and introducing deliberate falsehoods is like rewriting history. If they're not exposed, they might sit there, wrong, forever.

Thrown into this, eyewitnesses are notoriously unreliable and will rewrite their own reflections mentally as they recall, on the slightest provocation. So it's important to know how far to trust but verify eyewitnesses.

I would put Daisey firmly in camp B, liar, and his argument firmly in camp A, truthy if not completely accurate.

Jiggy, I completely respect this point of view, but understand you are arguing from the base assumption that people have to spend a lot of time doing that complex processing.

To exploit your analogy (cars are always good for that :-) how many people own trucks these days? There is always a market for a truck, its the best selling unit of Ford's inventory, but people who only occasionally move stuff or carry stuff often will borrow or rent a truck when needed rather than own one)

The other interesting part of this conversation is the conflation of cause and solution. Your point 'especially students will want to work from home' is particularly salient. When I was a student the PC didn't exist, I still worked fine from home :-) But more importantly as the presence of PC's in the home grew, teachers gave students the opportunity to do work on them rather than say writing it out long form, etc. But as tablets become common at home and with students, and especially tablet based text books, the opportunity to provide even better tools for students is possible.

Imagine a world where your history home work is to write an essay on some topic in the text book that is also on your tablet. Writing an essay is pretty trivial mechanically, you don't mouse a lot and you can do the whole thing even from a soft keyboard.

And this comment for me really sums it up : "People do not just base their requirements on what they need 99% of the time, but rather on what they forsee their possible needs might be."

This is spot on, and there are many people who are looking at tablets and deciding that it can cover even their foreseeable needs. And that, for me at least defines, the term 'Post PC', when something other than a PC can meet the extant and foreseeable needs of someone with respect to information communication and manipulation.
I have more than six months for sure. I'm confident I wouldn't run out of money, but may regret leaving a high paying job. thanks for the feedback (guess I should have given a little more information)
I don't think it's about iPhone vs Droid bs Nexus: it's about phones and tablets versus desktops and laptops. Most laptops today aren't sold with a 200+ DPI screen. I think I'd have a hard time finding any. And yet, most phones (and tablets, with the new iPad) do have these high-density, better, screens. Jeff's point is that the switch to phones and tablets is what enabled that improvement to occur.
That's true of phones, but we haven't really seen anyone try that with traditional PCs. Even Apple hasn't achieved anything there.

In a broader sense, there seems to be much more innovation in tablets and phones versus traditional PCs. Some of that was sparked by Apple, some of it, such as Droid's high-res screen, was created first by someone else. But where is the comparable innovation with the PC?
I had a roommate during my first year at college. This job posting is a pretty accurate description of his work ethic. As unusual as it sounds, yes, there are people like that out there.
I wouldn't say they're looking for someone naive or exploitable, but rather the few people that enjoy doing this type of work.
Some people don't care too much about having free time to socialize. They get their kicks from working a lot, and don't like having "free time" or a gap in their rigid schedule.
But Steve Jobs certainly saw the Post PC era looming as far back as 1996:

The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That's over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade.

If I were running Apple, I would milk the Macintosh for all it's worth – and get busy on the next great thing. The PC wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago.

The fact that Steve jobs could see this coming from back in 1996 is incredible. Add to that, that Steve also knew all through the Tablet PC initiatives of the early 2000's that it was too soon, technology wasn't able to properly support the post-PC form factors yet, and that styluses were a loser proposition. Bill Gates also saw the same forces at play, but he responded in the early 2000's with a failed attempt to move the PC into the next era. I guess that's a natural reaction for the winner of the PC era -- to try and carry it on.

You can see the same forces at play in the audio industry. Audio has gone beyond the early DIY tinkerer days, through a period of standardization and ubiquity, through an era where big, complicated, elaborate machinery was a status display, to a time of maturity where convenience and design prevails and the technology fades into the background.

The problem with audio, is that it doesn't let us extrapolate to the future. What's next? I can see a period where feature-phones increase in capability to the point where they're like the 1st generation smartphones, but with networks that are 1000X more capable -- just in time for widespread adoption by the developing world.

Will the developing world leapfrog the developed world in much the same way that it skipped over the era of hardwired networks straight to mobile? Will they be coming to economic power just as the digital realm has obsoleted many forms of material wealth?
the video lacks the serious implications this will have for any kind of service relying on open access to content in the wild. whereas privacy issues are a problem for some services, for others they're not. if privly were to be used world wide, there would be no google. they could talk about how they want to add api access for search engines for content that is supposed to be public (but still under the users' control).
this is either an idea that wasn't thought through properly (in case this is supposed to be used as a standard way to publish any kind of content) or this is merely a tool for the relatively rare use case of arab springs, where information needs to be spread on a global platform (twitter) but not be legible by people who aren't whitelisted.

anyway, in it's current form it breaks the web as we depend on it. iranian protesters can already exchange pre-encrypted messages, so it seems unlikely that this is their intended use case. also, they don't sell it in this way.

To add on to this, it is of course necessary to have enough familiarity and competence with the basic principles of cryptography to know that you're "doing what everyone else is doing" correctly, instead of just some silly pantomime, such as: http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Topgrade,-SHA1-Encryption.as...

But it's not necessary to understand the depths of cryptography beyond that there are various black boxes that have certain properties.

Someone raised that very point in the linked reddit thread (paraphrasing) "you can see pics like these in the Sears catalogue". Presentation and intent make it pornography.

One of those images as a picture in a family album (assuming they've not been posed sexually) - not pornographic. Same image with sexualising content and presented alongside similar images in a forum intend to pander to the salacious nature of those who get aroused by sexualised images of children - pornographic.

Or do you think that there is no such thing as pornographic image of a human because you could see those same parts of the body in an anatomy book? If you do go that far, then presumably you'd also not find anything to be erotic? Would you also say that intent is not important?
Depends on the make up of your community. In my experience, though, nothing gets a new group going better than several strong speakers in a row (that is, over several consecutive meetings). I relaunched a (non-Ruby, semi-technical) group and went from 10 attendees at the first meeting to 60+ in less than a year of every other month events by doing this.

If your community is one where the people feel comfortable just getting together to hack in the same space, perhaps speakers aren't necessary at every event. But I encourage you to try to book speakers and hold hack sessions only as a fall back.

Ditto. Being agnostic in the truest sense (I don't believe the existence of god is provable or disprovable and as such find it an irrelevance in my life and less relevant than debating philosophical what ifs like "is a glass half-full or half-empty") I am actually scared by the fervour in the "atheists". They're building religious tension between the religious and the anti-religious.

The atheistic community is developing a hubris and don't realise that by creating such a polarised ideal they themselves are becoming a religious problem.

I don't defend religions, I think they've long been the root cause of most of the strife in the world. I don't think atheism in its current popularised form is little more than replacing one dictator with another. Our society, our world doesn't need another religion or an anti-religion to follow, we simply need to stop FOLLOWING.

I've said this again and again here, and I always get down-voted to oblivion for not following the atheist masses. Or I get called an atheist for not believing in 'god' despite believing the mere thought is irrelevant and an unnecessary waste of intellect.

All the wrongs in the world have been committed by people who wilfully neglect to think about the consequences of their actions. How they do this varies, by demeaning women and calling them second class citizens. Or by calling Blacks and other non-white ethnicities sub-human or some other variants to justify using or abusing them.

Bad people do bad things. Good people, no matter what will do the good/right thing. The true evil in this world is the normal person who will blindly look away so long as they believe they won't be harmed or involved.

Netflix actually can't switch to an AWS competitor at this point because none of them are big enough. (source is some random cloud infrastructure presentation they did)

When AWS started they were basically running off the "christmas season" and end-of-life amazon.com boxes with almost no up front expenditures. Everyone else in the "cloud" business is buying new boxes to build out, which means its really hard for them to get to scale or handle surge loads.
Number 5 is the one that took me the longest to figure out but it is so true. There is basically no chance someone hasn't thought of what you are thinking of.

However, I think it's a bit too early to say that we're living in a "post-mail era". Will such a thing every truly happen? I don't see that happening until we invent teleporters for all the physical items we need shipped.

Well, we are definitely past the start of the post document-mail era. As for the rest, it's just a matter of implementation: is the advanced fabrication tech in your living room, across town, or across the ocean? So long as you get your product in a timely fashion, what's the difference? (Answer: manufacturing and supply-chain costs and how these impact profits and the consumer.)
Alright folks, tell me about how great this whole "computer" thing is when you throw out your pen and paper. Maybe I'll get on the internet after you all stop talking to people face-to-face.

Doesn't follow. The question is how technology is affecting people's lives, and the answer, for now, is: immediacy and ease of use. For you, the iPad is a Unix machine with no file system and no shell. For a normal person, it is a magical way to share high-quality photos and talk with people across the world. That may not be very high tech, but it's currently holding together human relationships and families that otherwise wouldn't, and ultimately that's what is making an impact.

This makes me uncomfortable. Disregarding the fact that you use terms like "lamestream media" un-ironically on your blog, your point seems to be "all government is bad". The basis for this? "Look at all the stupidity."

While I agree that government stupidity abounds, it's unfair (and intellectually dishonest) to disparage it categorically. In a random I.T. department there may be broken policies carried out by incompetent people but nobody ever thinks about all the things that are working properly due to other people's hard work and attention to detail; they fixate on things with "easy" or "obvious" fixes.

People love incredible stories, and there are plenty of tales of stupidity both inside and outside of government. But you didn't call your site "dumbass human beings" because that isn't pejorative enough towards government. In this way you expose your bias and make me extremely skeptical about your politics.

You cite content as creation as a reason why we're not in a post-PC era, but I think you overestimate what most PCs are used for. What percentage of PCs are used to create online content anyway? Also, how do you know you haven't received an email from an iPad or seen a Facebook photo uploaded from an iPhone. You're extremely dismissive, but the proof will be in the numbers. Certainly post-PC is overhyped as a meme, but tablet sales growth is astronomical. If trends continue for any appreciable length of time, it will be impossible to deny that tablets are dominating every-day computing.

You can get typographically correct apostrophes on an iPad by holding down on the ' key on the onscreen keyboard. A palette will pop up including curly apostrophes.
It's certainly any interesting concept with some merit.
However it would change the game from being "damn I can't get any signal, no internet for me but I can still work offline" to "no signal, I literally can't do any computing at all!"

So what I could see happening is people at that point carrying around "personal compute servers" with them for just such an event, or at least having on in their home/office.

Also bear in mind that CPUs/GPUs appear to be getting pretty cheap as well as pretty small and you would need one anyway to do the video decompression so having something on your device capable of doing the basic UI etc isn't much of a stretch.

Perhaps you end up with 3 tiers of processing, i.e your device, your local node and "the cloud" (i.e a proper datacenter). The issue is making all of this transparent from a usability perspective.
My point is that the entire operating budget of NASA, not just part of the program, but literally the entire agency, could be wiped from the budget without affecting the budget deficit in any meaningful way.

I'm not breaking down categories nearly as deep you had to dive to get to your example of tanks. Looking at NASA is like looking at the entire operating budget of the Army, the FBI, or the NSA.

This isn't to say that there aren't inefficiencies at NASA that can be corrected. I'm sure there are, but since NASA's entire operating budget is orders of magnitude smaller than the deficit even the most optimistic optimization will have basically no effect on the problem.
Ask HN: How does a service like CloudFlare work?
So I am curious as to how a service like CloudFlare works?

So it seems like:

1. You have to change your DNS.

2. The traffic intended for your site now funnels through CloudFlare servers

3. They then direct the traffic to your hardware/where your site lives.

But they advertise things like increasing availability, protection, distributed content, etc.

How is this working?

>Do you feel you should be able to ask whatever programmer you interview with about compensation and moving expenses?

I feel like those things can be handled after the initial interview - when we establish that I'm a suitable candidate and they are actually worth working for. I feel that the programmer/CTO/who ever is qualified to make a technical evaluation should be the one to approve the hire and HR can do the negotiation afterward.

I think we're disagreeing about the context tough. I was quoting his statement because he used it as a example of the argument the article made from employees perspective - and my criticism is mostly about the article/recruiters using shallow questions that provide no information and focusing on trivial things and corporate speak on "company culture", "team skills", "decision drivers" and similar vague pseudo sociology/psychology and other buzzwords that allow you to pretend like you're doing something useful when you actually aren't qualified to evaluate/manage.
