I know people on the IE team, and they are genuinely enthusiastic about HTML5 and the web as a platform. In recent years IE pioneered sandboxed tabs, GPU-accelerated rendering engines, and some privacy stuff (that I found incredibly boring but they thought was really important). They didn't need to do that stuff. If Chrome hadn't reignited the browser wars so strongly, I wouldn't be surprised if IE would've been closing in on Firefox quality-wise at this point.

In the time I worked at MS and was able to get the inside scoop on how different product teams work, I found that the cynical explanation was almost never the truth. I can't think of a single person I met at MS who was playing to lose. If the IE team is underdelivering compared to other browser vendors, it's not due to an exec telling them not to try. You would probably be shocked at how difficult it is to ship software at Microsoft, for a variety of reasons, none of them malicious.

So the biggest benefit Hague derived from functional programming, by his own account, is that the headache it gave him crippled his zeal for clever tricks.

It's a bit like making friends in a new language: when your tongue is tied, your interactions with others are sometime marked by this naive, disarming honesty that is charming and uncomplicated and utterly impossible to reproduce in your native tongue. It's sometime tempting to ascribe that to language itself, but it's not inherent to the language -- it's circumstantial. As you become fluent, shades of irony and evasion creep back into your speech.

Functional programming comes with its own bag of clever-clever tricks, and lack of familiarity will only stay your hand from them for as long as you lack familiarity. Ignorance is ephemeral. Contending with arbitrary handicaps may be formative, but it can't (and shouldn't) drive adoption.
Perhaps, over the last two months you've been running the experiment, you've been thinking about actually wanting a response and have automatically been constructing better emails that people feel they can reply to. Unlike the "brain-dump" ones I sometimes get that just don't deserve a response.

To be perfectly honest, if there's more than one person on the email, I'm more likely to hope it's not my problem...

That UD link actually does leave some wiggle room for dual citizenship :

"Although Norwegian law is based on the principle that dual citizenship is not acceptable, Norwegian authorities cannot answer for what legislation in your home country says about citizenship."

"In other respects than in the abovementioned No 1 and No 2 dual citizenship is allowed."

In my case, I was born and raised (mostly) in the US with a Norwegian father who is still a Norwegian citizen (permanent work visa). Therefore, I have held dual passports since I was a teenager and submitted the formal application for full citizenship when I turned 18.

While a lot of work was put into my application, including references from family and friend, I believe the most important element, from a legal standpoint and otherwise, was my immediate family.

A lot of people I know simply throw away things. It hurts sometimes. However, sometimes it is tough given that technology simply becomes old so fast.

I do think that there are certain electronics that can last along time. In particular, it annoys me when people buy LCD TVs and one year down the road throw it away because it stopped working. The manufactures give limited warranty and suggest to buy another one. I purposely bought a TV with a much longer warranty, three years. It did cost 3x as much as a cheaper one from costco. It does look wonderful and function nearly 4 years after I bought it.

Going through the comments posted here, I wonder why actually nobody speaks loud an obvious thing: "Why in the hell twitter uses non-obfuscated password?" I think on of the rule of thumb, when creating a webservice with credentials, is to store the password in the way in the database, that it cannot be retrieved. I mean, you usually obfuscate it with some salt and then hash it afterwards.

Assuming Twitter does this kind of obfuscation, then all the password couldn't be retrieved from Twitter directly and hence no blaim on Twitter side.

Assuming Twitter does not obfuscate the password, why then nobody mentioning this? In such a case Twitter made a beginner failure and this should be somehow pointed out, I think. I just remember the case about one dating-site, which did that and it was more or less lynched for this by the community.

Three years ago I was going through High School and as you can expect, every single piece of software in the labs was Microsoft branded. Now, I'm with a lot of the same people at University and despite what some people insist, nobody has a problem using GNU/Linux. It is the only option in the labs, but still many people got the hang of it within two to three days.

Although mine is just an anecdote it still follows, that both our educational systems and our corporate environments play a big part (I'd even say a much bigger part) in keeping the OS market share as it is.

That's why I said "user friendliness". Even on a superficial level, Git is enormously lacking in this aspect. More fundamentally, the way moving changes around between branches works in Darcs is significantly simpler and "hey, it read my mind!" than in Git, where you need to understand the underlying object model and the tools very well to do this well. Sure, many other things are a disaster in Darcs, but I'm not saying Darcs will replace Git. I'm saying something inspired by it well.

Right, it's a matter of perception and quickly changing "fashion". Many people regard devices of a year old already as very old. So they choose in favor of replacing it, even if it is a minimal problem that is easy (and cheap) to fix.

I do suspect that financial pressure (due to increasing resource prices) will cause this to change around in the near future, and make people hold on to their devices for longer. In some circles, like described in the article, I'm already seeing this happen. Also, many skilled people are out of a job and have time enough to do basic repairs for each other.

Hopefully this will reduce the e-waste problem...

Darcs is not "another", it is "the first distributed" version control system that gained some traction in open source projects. Before git usage exploded, darcs was almost exclusively used by haskel and lisp libraries.

What killed darcs, besides performance issues with darcs 1, was "one repo one branch" mode, and tedious way of maintaining long lived forks, which wasn't that convenient as what git provides.

However, I'm glad that Darcs is still actively developed and used, since it has very nice theory and model behind it, and it still has some very useful concept which are quite unique for it.

Pre-Alex I've ran through 5 months of mails, which amounted to ~5k mails, and sorted them out (there was already label Waiting done for me).
Post-Alex, in 2 months of mails the sample size was ~2k mails.

Number of e-mail addresses contacted within those 7 month period is ~70.
Is the content being mailed the same? are you mailing the same people again before and after alex was created? are you split-testing -- 1/2 recipients get the email without alex in CC? You might need some more experiments to attribute it to pure CC.
I'm proud of them, but the Internet is international - without broad acceptance, we run the risk of effectively having distinct National Internets with different rules and regulations. That scares me a bit, because the potential is still to have unhindered communications between anyone, anywhere.

Partially Apple's fault, undoubtedly, but are you deliberately redirecting people to the App Store? Or is that some freebie that comes with embedding an App Store link/banner?

A week later the owner of the iron was electrocuted. Just kidding.

The culture of discard and buy another really comes about from items being pretty cheap and the repair costs being pretty high. I personally have this biased opinion that a repaired item is likely to break again. This is almost certainly wrong but it was an idea I was brought up with and is difficult to shake.

I really like what these people doing. I would certainly get more items repaired if it could be done cheaply. A repair shop as a place to gather is cool.

I do think though there is a limit to what is worth repairing. Things like hoovers, irons etc are worth repairing. Technology really doesn't move that fast and paying £20 to have a hoover patched up is far better than buying a new one.

Computers though. If they fail within the warranty you are already covered. If they fail after that then it really depends what the computer cost. If brought a computer for £3-400 you may find the repair cost is 50% of what you paid for it. In this case there is a strong argument that this £200 could go towards a higher spec computer.

I have a laptop which overheats, it isn't worth much but it is - or should be - pretty handy. The cost to investigate the fault would cost me £75. This is before a repair is made. I was told if the problem is what he thought it might be then the cost to repair would be a £100 on top of that. In the end I just brought a new netbook for £300.

I have a little problem with my iMac. The harddrive is faulty. It has some bad sectors or something which causes programs to crash. Do you know tricky it is to replace the harddrive of an iMac? Its ridiculous. To be honest pretty much all Apple devices are terribly inconvenient to repair. Its a shame that one of the worlds biggest companies isn't doing more to prevent consumer waste.

I'd suggest that the problem with poetry is much more complex than this essay recognizes. I'd also note that there is no scope for monetizing it any more because the commercial poetry market imploded between 1918 and 1940; these days it's virtually impossible to sell poems, and about the only people making money from the field are doing so indirectly, via academic research/teaching posts. It should be possible for poets to use the same self-publishing channels as everyone else who's banging on about the "ebook revolution" ... so why aren't they?

> It's easy to move a patch that uses a feature to a point before the feature is introduced.

Well, if you use git yes, since there is no check for this, in the normal darcs workflow either the patches are independent or you can't reorder them.
So, "fix About" can be moved before "new login screen", but "using data in the new login screen" cannot.

> How can it know which changes depend on each other, if (for example) they're in different files?

Because _you_ told it so, by making them part of a single commit, or by creating a commit which depends on lines in both files affected by previous commits in those files, or by tagging the repo.
Surely it's not a crazy idea to group related changes across files in a single commit :)

E.g.

# distinct commits
A1 "added foo() in foo.c"
B1 "added foo() in foo.h"

# depends on b1, if you cherry pick this you get B1, B2
B2 "added ifdef in foo.h"

# depends on all three, you get A1, B1, B2, C1
C1 "renaming foo() to bar()"

# depends on all four, you get A1, B1, B2, C1, C2
C2 "renaming foo.(c,h) to bar(.c,.h)"

Notice that yes, you can miss a commit, or include too much. In the worst case you end up with the same "I'll review the commits" workflow you use in git cherry-pick/merge/rebase.

FWIW, I am not advocating darcs over git, just trying to shed some light.
> I've created a imaginary CEO assistant e-mail account named Alex

What's Alex's email address? If it's "Alex Q Alex, CEO <alex@your_company.com>" people will think the email is more important than if it's "alex2009@yahoo.com". Unless of course they work for or know your company, in which case they'll know the CEO isn't him. Actually I'm trying hard to think of a scenario in which the recipients don't just think you mistyped the CC, in that case.

EDIT Urgh, you said CEO assistant. I can't read. Disregard this.
(Note: see http://curvecp.org/decongestion.html for details. It looks interesting, but I haven't looked at it closely.)
I agree. Desktop Linux must have a patron that operates much like Apple if anyone intends for it to get penetration. Canonical is the best candidate but it's not in Shuttleworth's playbook as far as I know, which imo is a real shame.

If you want to push an alternate OS, you can't bundle it like a normal PC and sell it alongside Windows machines. You need to do what Apple did, and make it its own thing: a "Mac" instead of a "PC". Someone needs to box up Ubuntu into 3-6 SKUs, slap some cohesive, trendy branding on it, and get it into sales channels as a "penguin" or whatever and NOT a "PC".
> items being pretty cheap and the repair costs being pretty high

I wonder if it's possible to get some of those items to places where the labor costs are low enough, and product prices high enough to make it worthwhile to fix stuff.
