Cute. Spent a bit of time trying to figure out how to get an arrow: It's not obvious that you need to drag to get an arrow object, because if you just click without dragging, all the other objects will create a new instance at top left. I started out assuming that the UI would be select the object, then click to make a new instance where you wanted it. So, once an object appeared, I thought the intended UI was, click to get object, move it to where you wanted. I think you need to either not create a new object unless the user does drag, so they understand that something more is required (which is how visio seems to do it) or make 'new instance at top left' work for all objects.
Yes, I've read that before. However, the argument fails because human hearing doesn't work that way and the DVD/post-CD industry already decided to use 48/96/192 instead of 44.1/88.2/176.4.

Quantization noise is a killer. Resampling audio is just a bad thing to do. Now, if it was a several mhz 1 bit DAC with a low pass filter, this wouldn't be much if an issue.
Yeah

I used to prefer tabs as well, and I still stand by it.

But you can always configure your editor to use 4 spaces. And 4 spaces looks like 'less wasted space'.

I'll keep using tabs for some things, and 4 spaces to most professional projects.

About 2 spaces I'll just say one thing: NO
Awesome!

If his username matches with his email, or if he uses the it consistently - maybe. But probably he wrote that note ages ago, someone else rewrote the function since then and left the comment because the content is still valid - ie. you're contacting the wrong person.

In short: metadata which is not updated automatically is most likely not up to date, and may be not correct in general.

The drawback of making it a single dialog box in the user experience is that the "current name" changes when you use "Save as...". So if you do a "Save" next time, you save it as the exported name and format instead of the original one. If, for example, your export format is .png, and your original format is layered, this could bite you. Also you keep flipping between two names.

Sometimes an "autoexport on save" feature would be nice. Export it to the derived format as well as save the original file with one keypress.
I run both as desktops. I generally don't find that big a difference. However, lately I find some people releasing their packages only via Ubuntu ppa. In those cases I have to build from source in Debian - which isn't always that inconvenient. YMMV.

This is the easiest and best way I've ever found to draw electrical circuits. Oh my god. So much components. I'm shaking in happiness for all the time I won't have to waste trying to fight inkscape & friends. (Not even mentioning latex packages to do this)
I see both points but regarding (2), there are common cases where you are not necessarily doing anything wrong but the 80 character limit will make your code less readable, especially when using four spaces or more for indentation. For example you might end up in the fourth level of indentation wanting to write a list comprehension that would be perfectly readable in one line but have to break it down because of this rather short hard limit.

I think having a soft and a hard limit makes more sense, if anything, I would make 80 characters the soft limit and perhaps 100 a hard limit, although I'd prefer them to be 100 and 120.

Why not resample in software before sending to the DAC? Benchmark Media claims that Windows 7's sample rate conversion is basically transparent (distortion below -140dBFS).[1]

I will be down voted for saying so, but "than" and "then" seem to be reversed throughout the entire article. I would like to learn more about promises now.
If you're in the fourth level of indentation, you might already have a readability problem.
Schengen Agreement, at least kind of sorted this problem for the lucky ones to be a citizen of a member state. For the rest of us, we'll continue to be dogged by this for a long time to come. Immigration laws world wide run on the premise that once we hit our 30's, we want to settle and have a career, a degree and/or a family. Nomads are not majority. Tax laws are also equally as draconian, in reality.

I've found starting a business in my "home" country, and moving between countries with favorable working holiday schemes and long duration tourist permits is the most effective but won't be sustainable past 30 unless I set up another business in a country friendly towards foreign investment (I'm looking at you, Singapore).
That last point is important which I forgot to mention, especially in operating systems that have '.' first in PATH.

I notice the difference anecdotally without measuring it, but I don't know if that is a conception bias because I know env should be slower.

The best way would be an autoconf script in your package and an install run that finds and verifies the local framework.

I have to admit that I have never done this though. I have a few Python scripts with decent distribution and just rely on the direct path (and a batch file for win32)
I think you may be confusing means and ends here. They are not suing Google because they believe they've infringed on their copyright. They're using copyright as a legal argument to sue Google over the fact that they've used technicalities and tricks to circumvent Java's license.

So no one is going to sue anyone over similarities in APIs because everyone understands that is not the point. Your argument about Java's benefit may be right, but they might be wrong: Android has fragmented Java, and not just the language but the API and the bytecode as well.

Whoever is right in this case, let's get one thing straight: Google is not some innocent player here. They wanted Java's developers for their platform, they didn't want to pay Sun for the license, so they used a trick to bypass that license. That trick may be successful legally, but don't paint Oracle (well, at least not in this case) as some troll trying to go after innocent innovators who only have the community's interest in mind.
Single window mode is definitely the step in the right direction towards what I think GIMP should be doing: ripping off Photoshop wholesale. Perhaps GIMP has some features that are arguably better than Photoshop, but the problem is that a huge number of people are very used to Photoshop's interface. Just about everyone has messed about with Photoshop at some point either professionally or just for fun (be it legally or illegally) and Photoshop's interface (for better or worse) has become second nature. I would actually argue that the lack of a familiar Photoshop alternative is holding back mainstream adoption of Linux. Open Office or Libre Office are good enough replacements for most people (and they have obviously gone for the wholesale rip off tactic) but GIMP just does not suffice - the main thing being the interface, not lack of features.

There are really simple things that could be done like making the toolbar the same as photoshop's. I mean it's great that you can resize however you like, but having it unresizable makes it easy to remember the button layout and instinctively grab for a tool. The fact that completely different symbols are used for the same actions does not help. eg: knife is crop in GIMP and slice in photoshop.

Once Linux/GIMP has achieved good market share over mac/photoshop then it's time to start thinking about improving the photo/vector publishing paradigm and boy is there much remove for improvement. Adobe has pretty much had the monopoly on 2D graphic design tools for the last couple of decades. With almost no competitors - what incentive is there to truly innovate? I mean compare the sophistication of something like 3D studio max or Maya compared to illustrator. (3D being an area where stiff competition still remains) Why is Photoshop and Illustrator even two completely separate pieces of software? because they can sell two things separately for a combined total price greater than one?

Buy Nightwear Online for Women

I can't find the original story, but when a guy asked for his data, some was missing and when he asked about it, Facebook answered it was their own trade secret and could not give them to him.
I think the selection committee downplayed the importance of Linux a bit: "Today the estimated number of users is 30 million...".

According to ComScore, there's around 52 million Android users in the US alone. And then there's all the users of Linux-based websites...which is just about everyone who owns a computer.
I found one board, EK-V7-VC707-CES-G, for USD3.5k

The only time I was ever "in the market" for a board was in 2007, and back then it was a struggle getting parts; this was in the days of FX/LX/SX availability, and I wanted an SX part (with many DSP units) but basically got told no unless I wanted to buy over 50 units. So, had to settle for the bog standard FX. Paid USD5k for it (a premium for Infiniband connectivity).

Check farnell.com. They don't seem to stock the Virtex-7 family yet, but the price-range of the Virtex-6 family might provide some guidance (£350-£850).

Edit: This is for the naked chip, not a board. There's quite a discrepancy with int19h's findings, I don't know if that can be all up to the board?
Amazing tool! Well done :) Which company is behind this?
If Scargill had said "give us the means of production and we will demonstrate the superiority of collective ownership" then that would be one thing. The mines were costing twice as much to run as they were worth; the unions could have "bought" them for one pound! But that's not what happened. He said "just give us money". It's impossible to negotiate like that.

Incidentally, I never understood why Thatcher was evil for not subsidizing the loss-making mines, and modern politicians are evil for subsidizing loss-making banks (i.e. RBS).

I'm from Australia.

If you read the wikipedia article you'll note that net debt is only $80 billion, not $320 billion.

It's sustainable because when the economy grows the debt becomes a lower proportion of the total budget which makes it simpler to pay off.

I don't think either Australian party is proposing a balanced budget. The (current, left wing) Labor party is getting criticized for trying to bring the budget back to surplus next year. It's unclear exactly what the oppositions proposed budget position would be, but it is likely they would follow similar policies.
Immigration controls are not designed for us -- they exist to appease people's irrational fear of migrants ("stealing our jobs", "the country's full", etc.). That's why here in the UK we reject the idea of detention without charge for terrorism suspects, but are perfectly happy to lock up asylum seekers for years at a time. It's outrageous.
Very timely, since I'm getting ready to plan out a major project. This is going to be prominently bookmarked. Thanks!
Sure, you have a point.

But the Dragon still cost less to develop than a single launch of the NASA space shuttle. That's remarkable.

It's a pretty good day to be a libertarian.

Partly true, but partly there is a fundamental inefficiency at play in the way they do things.

On the space shuttle, every outer tile is unique and must be manufactured accordingly. Boeing cover their rockets in shitty orange foam.

When the shuttle returns, it is driven into this spider-like contraption that actually cost almost as much to build as a shuttle. Boeing put the rocket on its side, and use step-ladders, and, I kid you not, a plank.
"Interstellar"?! Aren't we feeling overly optimistic today?

With current technology (and not inventing too much new physics) interstellar travel takes so long that, in order to be an effective investment, it would require an out of this world ROI.

Say you can launch an expedition to the closest solar system for a billion dollars (NASA certainly can't, but we are talking privatization) and have it return to Earth in four (I want to keep my numbers round) hundred years. In order to be preferable to US Treasure bonds (generally considered a lame option, but we are thinking very long-term), our expedition would have to bring back about about 3.7 billion dollars worth of stuff.

The billion dollar figure and the 400 years period are both ludicrously optimistic. In order to be back in 400 years, you'd have to fly at 0.02c meaning you'd have to spend 18,000,000,000 Joules per gram of spacecraft for each delta-v. That's 72 GJ, or 20 MWh per gram. And that's with a 100% energy efficient propulsion system (which would require some new - and very fancy - physics anyway).

Open source BI software is generally poor.

For intuitive front ends look at:
neutrinoBI
tableau software
tibco spotfire
qlikview
panoptical
advizor solutions

Some (e.g. qlikview) insist on taking a dump of all data onto the workstation, so aren't suitable for big data.

These may still need a relational database to actually store the data. We use Vectorwise. Infobright (MySQL engine) is good if you're on a tight budget, particularly their open source community edition. There are many players here: Vertica, ParAccel, Exasol, Teradata, Aster Data, Netezza, Kognitio, InfiniDB (also MySQL), probably others.
Weeeeeeeell damn...

Nokia revenue falls 29 percent
I'm a developer and I desperately want to learn how to design. I gave up on the GIMP and bought Photoshop simply because there are so many more resources (PSD's, tutorials, blogs, videos, etc). Occasionally I pull up the GIMP, but quite honestly there aren't enough hours in the day.

I get the feeling that the GIMP devs wants to be "better" than Photoshop, but the steering wheel, and gas and brake pedals are where they are in a car; it's all about muscle memory. Making it easier for Photoshop users to fire up the GIMP for quick projects will do more to promote the GIMP than being 2x better than Photoshop.
Replace "inventor" with "inventor's employer", and your comment refers to the status quo. Are we supposing inventors to be resistant to greed?
You'll see this same behavior anywhere demand greatly exceeds supply. I know I'll never see a Raspberry Pi in real life because they refuse to meet demand for whatever reason, so it doesn't really bother me.

Big PyCharm fan. I have used all the major IDEs, both python specific and general, and I always found they got in the way more than the time-saving features they purported to offer. I always switched back to a basic text editor (Sublime Text).

But then I found PyCharm and actually spent a weekend learning how to use it. It's a real pleasure to use. Intellisense stuff works very well, some of the refactoring features are excellent, and all the handy things like ctrl-enter to import things, ctrl-n/ctrl-shift-n to jump to different code in projects, really speeds up development.

I still use Sublime Text for short scripts, but for any major projects i use PyCharm for everything. The django support (with debugging, including template debugging) is killer.

Also my one interaction with the development has been excellent. I reported a bug (i did have to sign up to their bug track which was a bit of a nuisance), and the bug was fixed in a day and a new update with the fix pushed out to me within a week. Impressive iteration cycle given the size of the software.

Apologies for reducing this down to "smut", but way I read it, this whole manifesto is a big waste of time and has enjoyed more real estate on HN in the last couple of days than it deserves.

Here's my take:

To decompose or reframe the whole debate into what will nicely fit 1) a talent, skill and inherent urge, and 2) possibly the oldest profession in existence;

As human's most of us are genetically programmed to enjoy the act of sex, that's predominantly what nature gave as an incentive to continuously populate our species.

- Some people 501 it (do it out of necessity, then get on with something they enjoy more)

- Some people are obsessed with it (think about it and do it as much as they can)

- Some people are labelled "frigid" with it (Know how to do it, but choose to do something else whenever they can)

- Some people want to do it but are not in a position to do so - But can enjoy it vicariously via modern technology (Thank god for HN, cos metaphorically, as a beginner programmer, I'm in this boat)

- And some people do it as a job to put food on the table (not strictly 9-5, but you get the idea).

Should the latter case-in-point still feel some sense of enjoyment performing the same task outside the hours of their employment, who the hell is anyone to throw a "pity" card at them. (even if shrouded in a thinly coated tossed bone of respect)

Of all the career choices anyone can make, I'm sure it's this last demographic that truly knows how to separate 'work' from 'pleasure' whilst still performing the same core task (read: natural and acquired skills).

If the buzzer sounds and you still want to keep going - Keep going!

If you want to go home and keep going with someone/something else: Good on you!

If you want to call it a day and read a book - I can recommend a few goo reads!

If you're held back or bullied to into doing it when you don't want to - There are laws to protect you.

Or

Can we call it a job/career: Yes

Can we call it a skill/talent: Yes

Can we call it a born obsession: Yes

Can we call it a lifestyle: Yes

Can we call it a culture: No

Do we need a freaking' manifesto : No

Are we in control of our bodies and minds and in a position to dictate how and when they are utilised: Absolutely!

TL;DR: No matter how you roll, you can do what you do as a job, a hobby, an an obsession, 8:00am-5:01pm or 24/7 - but whether its sex or programming, someone's gonna end up getting screwed.
