According to all the docs and pages I see online anywhere, GIMP won’t support 16-bit/channel color until version 3.0, and your source doesn’t really contradict that AFAICT. (None of them give a good estimate what time frame that is.)

But in any event, GIMP’s lack of support for real, powerful color management features, high bit depths, CMYK – much less CIELAB or other perceptually relevant color spaces (ideally they should use CIECAM02 or IPT) – etc. make it pretty much useless for any of my own photographic workflows. GEGL doesn’t look likely to overcome the main deficiencies, and so GIMP remains a cute toy more than a power tool.

Here’s Graeme Gill from approximately 2 years ago:

Version numbers aren't that relevant for Red Hat's packages, because we backport security fixes (and features) into the older versions. And yes, customers prefer it that way.

The Supposed Primacy of Text (The Axis of Eval)
"Might" being the key word. You might, if you are writing a simple script, but if you are writing some more complex code, class and method already take two levels, and that is your base line, I don't see how having two more levels is a readability problem.
I'm not sure how easy it would be to do OCR due to the weird font the game uses.
The numbers seem easy enough to read though (Way better than the ones used diablo I/II), and I guess that's what count. If they changed the font to the old one it would probably not work though, since the '5' and the '6' characters where pretty similar.

Ask HN - good entrepreneur-focussed blogs?
I'm building a monster blogroll for a project which I hope to be Showing HN in a couple of weeks, on the subject of web entrepreneurship, making money online, and all points in between.

Unfortunately, I'm hitting some troubles finding good lists of good, current blogs.

So - what are your favourite entrepreneur blogs, tech-focussed or otherwise? I'm looking for everything from Four Hour Work Week to Kalzumeus via Joel on Software, Ittybiz, etc, etc.

All suggestions much appreciated!

> Social media is people doing what they were already doing, only more often and anywhere. Flirting with girls, talking with friends, etc. Making these activities digital is not changing society or improving lives.

That is completely wrong from my experience. By the same logic the mobile phone didn't improve anything because you could already call people on land lines (and indeed, people argued exactly that). E-mail didn't improve anything, rather it was damaging, because people stopped writing letters.

Facebook has improved my life. A lot. It has enabled (not enhanced, enabled) loose but very enjoyable contact with acquaintances I hadn't seen for ten years. The light-weight way of staying in touch is perfect for keeping associated with my network in my former city after I moved. I get a steady stream of pics and status updates from my sister and her kids. People I've met travelling years ago suddenly mention they're coming through my city, and we catch up, or vice versa.

All of these COULD be facilitated using pre-Facebook technology, but pre-Facebook experiences suggests that they didn't.
I was just telling I find this way to emphasise a sentence a bit fatiguing, but I should avoid thus kind of useless comment, sorry.

I am not sure they are refusing, I think they know that to grow a large company takes time, and this is the first version of the first device that is available at scale. And as to the taking advantage, well, none of these people have large quantities, one I believe is doing it for charity, the others, sure, a bit of opportunism, but hey, fortune favours the brave, it was not their fault there is high demand, and ultimately high demand is a good thing for Pi and us :)

I have to fully agree with you: I hate when people use 'unknown_quantity' instead of a simple 'x' as a simple line become very long and hard to read with the important informations spread over a very large area.

Having to frequently parse very long name who doesn't give more informations is very painful, and generally make the real information harder to understand.
But, and correct me if I'm wrong obviously, this isn't sending quotes to the client real time, it's just sending them in 5 second batches?

I guess I'm struggling to see how:

"Stock quotes are pulled from Google Finance and are real-time."

and

"By default stock quotes are fetched every 5 seconds, and pushed to the client."

Work together...

Great work on sharing the code though, thanks.

What's wrong with the design on that page?
On most sites few dynamic blocks needs to be rendered on client side (eg. Tweets, Recent blog posts, etc). These are normally canonical content and doesn't mean much for SEO.

Main page blocks should be rendered into HTML and served from the server.
In finance, real-time quotes means not delayed by 20 minutes. The price returned should be real-time in those terms.

Probably not a good time to tell you I have mine sitting next to me on the desk running Debian!

It's a great little board - it's early days and there are a few rough edges; for example, they're especially fussy about the 5V supply rail and some people are having issues with cheaper micro USB cables and adapters, for example, things work well until the CPU gets a bit loaded, current draw goes up, the 5V rail drops a bit and the network disappears. A lot of this fact-finding stuff is appearing in the wiki though to help out those who come by later.

I predict lots of fun and interesting times ahead.

The trend is undeniable, but there's some selection bias in your post: people with Macs do tend to flaunt them around, especially at geek gatherings where you find a lot of contractors/independent/superstar/fashion-victim developers who have a say in the hardware they use. You don't see the thousands of corporate developers with work-issued laptops nor the academic working on "big rigs"; they're not all uber-hackers but they're not all shit either. Apple adoption is also lower in Europe due to higher prices compared to NA and Japan.

Last few times I've been to (Euro) Python conventions, I was actually surprised to see a lot of really skilled guys doing real computation (3d, molecular modelling etc) while happily running Windows on their laptops.

The text is pretty bad for such a prestigious thing:

> Linus Torvalds said:

"Sources"? I bet he didn't say that.

This bit is even worse if you're at all familiar with tech:

> What the selection committee said about this year’s Laureates

> Linus Torvalds
> “In recognition of the unprejudiced creation of a new open source operating system leading to the largely exploited Linux kernel.

"Widely used", not "largely exploited"!

"Imaginary" lines that people fight and die over. Are you really this deluded? Nations exist. People bound together by the land and cultural and genetic heritage is a real thing.

Unsurprisingly many people with strong ties to their nation don't see the net benefit of making it especially easy for rootless cosmopolitans to crash in. After all, you can't count on them in a tight spot. They have no loyalty.
Some mercenaries are more like, "Vive Le Mort," which is to say they are often disturbingly enthusiastic about what they do. That's understandable for a field where one risks their life and physical well being.

Programming is not like that. Being a workaholic programmer should be a personal choice and not a culture. I think that's all the 501 guy is trying to say.

Good way to start is to learn one of the hardware description languages.
I liked the book by Pong P. Chu "FPGA Prototyping by VHDL Examples: Xilinx Spartan-3 Version".
The same book is also available for Verilog, which is another HDL.
Later on you can take a look into higher level HDLs, since creating hardware in VHDL and Verilog is tedious.
I downloaded a N64 emulator a week or two ago, and the spam on my phone has been relentless. I'm literally getting a dozen notifications a day and more worryingly its actually installing apps, "Offer of the day!" and such.

I didn't mind it for a day or two if I'm honest, was happy to have the emulator. But now its just plain annoying.

Was going to look into reformatting my phone. Samsung Nexus ICE. Its a shame really, you'd hope for a level of protection.
Well, the advantage that screen scraping has over paper OCR is that the font is completely deterministic and there's (usually) no degrading effects. Even if '5' and '6' are pretty similar, there must be some pixel that can be used to distinguish them.

What could make it more tricky is if alpha transparency is used for both the foreground and background. Still, the complexity isn't anywhere near "real life" OCR.
You might find this comment suggests a way to do it on heroku. (Wishy-washy language because I have no direct experience with buildpacks.)

How ideology hobbles great innovation
At the macro level, yes, the size of the company's payroll is a cost. But very few members of large companies have any incentive to bear that cost. The CEO, the Board, and that's about it. Almost nobody below the C-level has any direct incentive to keep payroll costs manageable.

At the management level, the manager -- who bears no personal cost for managing N+1 workers instead of just N workers, will almost always choose N+1 if given the option. He doesn't pay their salaries, after all, and to him, the increased headcount is a status symbol. It's also something he will convince himself he actually needs. (You never hear middle managers complaining that their divisons are overstaffed, but the opposite complaint is almost universal).

This is what's known as an "agency problem." Many (most?) of the agents of the greater whole (the company) have personal incentives that work at odds with the company's greater incentives. This clash of incentives leads to waste, bloat, inefficiency, and so forth, because almost nobody is personally on the hook for the company's total health in the long run. (Sure, they're indirectly on the hook. If the company starts doing poorly, they could risk losing their jobs. But people tend to externalize failure, and don't hold themselves personally responsible).
Imaginary suggests they don't actually exist, but you can actually see a several borders from space. Perhaps you where thinking arbitrary?
The Google style guide seems to match up with PEP 8 pretty closely, from my brief review of it. Better yet, it actually includes explicit guidance on things like 'how to name local variables and class properties' which PEP 8 is mysteriously silent on.

People want to be respected for whatever they do, whether it is going home at 5 to their family or programming at night for an open source project.

Yet both sides don't seem to understand that they need to respect the other side themself too if they want to get (and deserve) respect.

There are many different ways to live a life. I respect each one who does what he feels is right for him, even when I am sure something different is right for myself. Well, maybe unless they pity me for what I do or claim I am not cultivated or similar.

I believe this happens mostly because people tend to define means as their passion... Taking a job, or starting a company isn't a goal per se. It is a mean of reaching a goal, which most people never actually define. Considering that following your passion is going after your dreams, or in other words, completing your goals in life, then teaching was his passion, not being a math teacher. This is the most common error I see when you ask someone what their dream are. If that's the case, he could follow his dream through other meanings other than being a math teacher.

So tell me, is your dream really being an entrepreneur, or is it building something or making an idea of yours becomming reality, and being an entrepreneur is a way of reaching that?
For those who haven't used GIMP, the big fix of single window mode is probably one of the most important steps they're taking. I have occasionally used the fact that I can stack the windows atop each other for hiding purposes, but much more often I'm saying, "dammit, where the hell is my layer bar? Where the hell is my toolbar now? augh! switching to my reference picture in the browser has upset my window order" and so on.

On-canvas text editing and cage transforms might be useful; we'll see.

People fight and die over a lot of imaginary things. Nations are concepts that exist through a shared belief in the existence of nations. People can be bound together by land and heritage without having had the idea of nations or national borders.

Also, while the walls that are put along the imaginary lines may have a reality to themselves, the lines are much more fluid and are unbound to the physical items that represent them. Hadrian's wall is still marking the northern extent of the old Roman Empire, however the current border between England and Scotland is much further north and is represented by nothing other than the occasional sign and line of paint and for the vast majority of the length of this line has no indication on the ground of its actual whereabouts.

DataEDGE: A conversation about the future of data science
Don't know, but I think it is not that difficult to monetize this user base - I think it is much more difficult to gain such user base in the first place.

For starters, I would suggest to throw ideas, listed below, at the wall and see what will stick:

1. Kickstarter for albums [where funding is prepayment for goods/services] - taking into account the state of music industry this shall fly a long way.

2. Pro account - personalized pages for a band and sample tracks for a monthly fee, paid by a band.

3. Events organizer - bands can propose concerts for clubs, bars, etc. Making money - transactions - either as cut of concert cost (band-club) or as cut from tickets sold. And this feature is available only to Pro-account holders.

I believe that just doing the above shall easily generate at least $10-50K per month in 3-6 mths, assuming correct execution.

There are other options to monetize, but the above are the most obvious/simple to implement.
