It's a little-known fact that CloudFront supports GZip just fine, so long as you're using pull from custom origin (like most people are).

You just need to configure your origin servers to serve GZip even to HTTP 1.0 (which is what CF requests will come as) and set the "Vary: Accept-Encoding" header to prevent users of old IE versions from having GZip'd content they don't support stuffed down their throats.

For example, this is my nginx configuration which serves both GZip'd and non-GZip'd versions of the same objects via CF. The second and third lines are the most important for correct AWS CF GZip distribution:

gzip on;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_http_version 1.0;
gzip_comp_level 4;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript image/png;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.";

Note that "image/png" is only in there because Google PageSpeed is very stupid and marks not GZipping PNG files as a "bug" because I can save "up to 1%" by employing GZip on PNGs.

who's going to spend scarce developer resources on proving it

This was the argument many had a decade ago about IE6. Lots of people designed for IE6 first and didn't spend time on alternative browsers. They were lucky that IE6 continued to be popular for so many years, but in the end it has caused a lot of problems. These days the markets move a lot quicker, so failing to support IE9 today may prove an expensive decision in a year or two.
It will be very hard for Darcs (and Bazaar, Monotone, etc.) to get so much better than git that switching is worth it. Just a better theoretical base for some edge cases is not enough.

Hg has also quite some mindshare. I consider it the only DVCS, which still seriously competes with Git. Apart from that, there are niche groups: Haskell with Darcs, Ubuntu with Bazaar.

Google just pushed Docs too hard, but I don't need all that functionality. I want performance, a few basic formatting options and instant saving.

I don't use no stinking sharing either.
JavaFX Runs on Raspberry Pi
Whoa, what an interesting read for the uninitiated! And considering the page has already been up for many years I'm surprised I hadn't come across it before.

Especially the chapters "Holy Code" and "Makefile" contained information I never expected.

Thanks for the link although it looks like it will not hit the front page.
Bert, you forgot epigenetics, specifically methylation.

Or maybe that was intentional, since technically this is "code" that is passed outside of DNA.

But it forms a significant and mysterious part of the "final program". Not to be ignored.
It's not super obvious from the page but the thing that sets this project apart from all the other is that they're going to build a HTML5 demo game during the Kickstarter period based on fan feedback. This is a great way to show that these two guys who haven't been in the gaming scene since the 90s are able to work with modern technology to build a solid multiplatform release that makes use of today's gaming paradigms (like touch support).

I know I'm excited and I invested up a tier on principle because this is what I want to see more of rather than just someone coming out and saying "here's a HD remake of a game I made in 1987" - nostalgia-driven I'm sure, but the reason we love these guys is because they're supposed to be able to create something new, not recreate things they made when they were young.

Assuming you aren't:

- Shouldn't you just be making more apps?

- Are you updating your existing apps regularly?

- Do you have web / flash versions online?

- Android versions supported by ads? (currently not very viable but might funnel people to the iOS versions)

Also, would you mind showing me the apps (e-mail is in profile). I'm curious what kind of kids apps would make $100/day at one point.

The concept is quite awkward in any single dispatch language. The biggest WTF ever is Racket adding single dispatch OO! You actually have to say (send object 'message).
Actually I think most would - perhaps not at a 10x multiple, but at least 2-3x, maybe 5x. If I were to download a brand new movie that just came out today I would definitely watch it with at least my girlfriend, but possibly invite a few friends around for a movie night. Or some friends would invite me (I hope!).

I would end up watching a lot more movies, but providing much less income to the movie industry for each.

These are valid points and the same ones I've encountered when using S3 and CloudFront. I am actually amazed that gzip encoding still isn't supported — people have been complaining about this for years.

Joe Justice from Team Wikispeed on the Future of Manufacturing (and Consumption)
Joe Justice is the ideator of Team Wikspeed: a team of volunteers distributed around the world who recently created a prototype car that is open source, modular and ultra-efficient in just three months, using processes borrowed from software development, the world from which Joe comes from. In addition to being a visionary, Joe is a fantastic and discussion prone person and this interview contains a very open and fruitful discussions I had with him at the end of April. I recommend you read it because it will be useful to you to understand how manufacturing – and consumption – are fated to change in coming years if, as Joe says, we want to continue living on this planet for a while.
People still get friends to help them out. The support networks in computing are very important.

I tried using Darcs at work for a fairly large codebase (2.5M LOC), in 2006/2007. It was a disaster. Not only did we run into exponential merge issues, but we also had corruption problems.

I loved it for small repos and my private work, but it just wasn't ready for larger code bases. Perhaps it is now, but in the meantime git got much, much better and I'm not looking to switch back.
One way of reading what he is saying is that if you are thinking of using pure FP for your application and it is not primarily a calculator (e.g. Jane Street) then be careful - nobody has proved that it will be quick to prototype, iterable, maintainable, understandable, flexible etc. Surely the academic community should feel more obliged to test their theories and follow things up further than toy examples or examples that match the paradigm exactly? What are they being paid for? In the meantime if someone does want to be at the cutting edge what would be interesting to see would be a word processor, a CAD program or a photoshop developed using a functional language (not a hybrid like Scala but something like Haskell where state is completely isolated using monads or whatever).
Thanks for the link to the recent HN discussion -- I missed that and it's very interesting.

Ack, Darcs had a problem so you went with SVN? I hope you've at least switched to using git as your SVN client by now.
> Did anyone think Avengers cams were what Hollywood is truly concerned about with BitTorrent?

They use night vision goggles & special cameras to locate people recording movies, and charge people with serious federal crimes for the act (the kind where you can get 3 years in prison) via a law enacted in 2005 [1]. Those huge, ugly brown spots you see flash on the screen? They exist to track cam pirates. They can also use audio distortions to pinpoint the exact seat the person is in to help them further narrow down the suspects.

Hollywood has a very odd way of showing a lack of true concern about cams.

What Linux probably needs is to take a page from Apple and set up a brick and mortar store where people can come in, try Linux, buy a PC, and get some advice.

Does anyone remember how Macs were sold before the Apple store? You had the mom and pop stores that had the expertise but not the volume to make an impact. You had the online stores that had the volume but if you weren't looking, specifically, for a Mac you wouldn't know there was an alternative. And then you had the B&M stores like Sears, CompUSA, etc. They had Macs, tucked away between the radar detectors and vacuum cleaners. Even if you knew you wanted a Mac the sales staff would try to pass you on a Windows PC. With "friends" like these who needed enemies.

Jobs knew he needed to switch things up so worked on retail store concept. Put it in a place with a lot of foot traffic (mall, downtown store, etc.) and make it easy. Want to check email, facebook, etc? Everyone knows you do it at the Apple store, Starbucks wifi costs money. Now you've got everyone in your store using your OS. They might not buy it right away but you've planted the bug in their ear.

For retailers it's just business. No one demands a Linux laptop and the few that due aren't a large enough market to keep them in stock and on the sales floor. If desktop Linux wants to have an impact it's going to need a lot more than a website with ISOs.
We Tore Down the San Francisco Embarcadero Freeway for THIS??
This is not the right project for San Francisco. It does not support the transportation and affordable housing initiavies of the city, and requires too many variances. It benefits the developer but leaves the city with a poor bargain in return. In the process, it destroys open recreation space which benefits seniors and middle-income residents. The supervisors need to step up and say no to this development.

This. In fact we have a policy of never using merge, but always using rebase (to the point where we think 'git pull --rebase' should be the default action of pulls).

No one is ever locked up for making calls/using an app. You get questioned for not following direct orders from flight attendants. Up there, they are the law. If they decide you are endangering the flight they can inform the captain who decides to make a diversion to offload you sooner. Then you get not only questioned by police but also a hefty bill from the airline for the disruption caused.
I know. That sentence was of course sarcastic ;). It's a shame too, because a lot of their media has that special charm and its artistic value is sometimes quite high IMO (especially in the anime department).
If there really was a strong market demand (and supply!) for preinstalled Linux laptops, why hasn't any reseller stepped up to fill this gaping void?

If the conclusions drawn by this paper are true, this is a massive business opportunity. They practically go so far as to imply that close to 10% of the laptop market is up for grabs if only the pesky retail oligopoly would stop sabotaging their own financial interests.

Does anyone believe this to be the case? I'll be frank : if I did, I would be investing in a new venture instead of writing this.

... unless the reason you renamed 'foo' was so you could introduce another function called 'foo' which does foo properly/differently.

For a realistic example, suppose you decided that 'foo' should acquire a lock. So you rename all existing 'foo' to 'foo_nolock', and add a new wrapper 'foo' which takes the lock and called 'foo_nolock'.

If your other branch called the original 'foo', it should probably now be calling 'foo_nolock', but instead it'll be calling the lock function after the merge, and your compile (or even tests) may not be able to find that error.
Sure, but that doesn't tell you how many dupes were in the original list (unless you were to separately keep a linecount). Hrm ... does pv let you do that?

I think it is far from being as simple as that. If one's ambition is to have better eyebrows, at best it makes you better in that regard, but quite likely says little if anything good about you. To take it a bit further, if someone has the drive/desire/ambition to be a better contract killer, I think we can keep them at the back of the pack.

I've met plenty of entrepreneurs whose desire to "do better" means, to them, a willingness to violate ethical, moral, and even legal principles that society holds quite dear. The valley isn't that different from Hollywood in this regard. It doesn't mean you can't find some outstanding people amongst entrepreneurs, because you absolutely can, but you can encounter some of the most horrible wretches known to man as well.

That's exactly the reason why C, C++ and Ada continue to be the primary choices.

There are a few interesting developments regarding Java for safety-critical and mission-critical applications. One is JSR-302, which is defining a safety-critical subset of Java which will not have garbage collection and will use of a run-time stack rather than a heap for temporary object allocation, the removal of dynamic class-loading, changes to task scheduling and a smaller standard library. These should make it possible to certify JSR-302-compatible Java runtimes and applications for safety-critical and mission-critical tasks.

The second is DO-178C, the follow-on to DO-178B, which will incorporate additional work on the certification of object-oriented languages such as Java.

I haven't fully understood what you're trying to say, although i am convinced you might be onto something.

Are you saying that emails that you send to other recipients have a higher chance they'll be replied to if you CC Alex on the outgoing email?

can you tell me what the increase in replies is as a percentage?
I don't think that alone can account for doubling the response rate.
Rebase only requires you to review the commits to the same extent that merge does, unless you're doing an interactive rebase.

Honestly, I expect the differences between Darcs and Git in terms of rebase / interactive rebase / cherry pick / merge to be a matter of implementation. Both systems are fed the same input, both track enough of it, so both could theoretically provide the same output. (I think Darcs is a little better at it, but every merge should be done with a watchful eye in either system.)

But I get the feeling that the patch-centric model is encouraging users to play fast and loose with patch order. If you wantonly reorder patches, you might get a sequence of unusable code bases culminating in the current working version of your software. It's easy to move a patch that uses a feature to a point before the feature is introduced.

Basically, the claim that "Darcs automatically groups changes which depend on each other" is one that I can't take seriously. How can it know which changes depend on each other, if (for example) they're in different files? By comparison, I hear from the Git folk advice along the lines of, "Be careful with rebase, because it is a destructive operation".

And because Git is snapshot-centric, if the app crashes in testing you can look at the SHA-1 used for the build to check out the exact tree used for the build, even years later, if necessary. No tagging required.
They should definitively add the data as tabular data as well. However, I think this is great for people who are not good with numbers. Probably not the color blind tho, red and green bubbles hovering over each other cant be good. Add some subtle patterns to each category as well as colors.
