Thanks for clearing that up for me, I went to 2002 in the timeline and didn't see anything about Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Still it should be 9 years... or maybe 9.5 years.
At least they say that they don't log it. Google's Chrome does send and log every website you visit.
Well RHEL started in 2003, since it's now 2012 that equals to only 9 years.
One of the developers posted this on Reddit, in response to someone asking whether there's a registration-free version[1]:

I'm afraid not at this point. The system is set up to be connected to the user account (to make sure the votes and the links are attributed to an account).

However, it does make sense that some people might want a "Viewer only" version which doesn't add or vote, but just displays. We might look in to this....?

As someone who is just getting in iOS development, would you have any recommendations for branching into game development? I see both this, and franzus's game are in C++. Is that common? I just spent a month leanring the basics of the iOS SDK and Obj-C so I was hoping to stay in that realm.

I use Firefox on my Android. It's a little heavy but it's OK. I like it a lot because I'm a desktop Firefox user and it knows how to sync my bookmarks and my saved forms data and my history back and forth. The UI is also much better than Android's built-in browser and it's been making a lot of progress.

I think people are not seeing the forest from the trees here. Firefox has a lot of potential on mobile phones, because Firefox has a lot of desktop users that would want the Firefox on their mobile devices, at least for the Sync functionality.

Also, on mobile WebKit may be the most popular, but there are so many incompatibilities and performance differences between Android's browser, Blackberry's browser, the webkit-powered S60 browser, Chrome, Safari and Mobile Safari that you might as well count those as different engines.
The concept of the game still exists now - why would you be nostalgic about the sounds of the old inferior ones?
FNV despite much popularity is a relatively poor quality hash. Murmur2 has a major flaw, hence Murmur3. CRC32 is slow. Not mentioned in the post, but if you're thinking Fletcher or Adler, they have terrible distribution. For a fast 32-bit hash, much better to go with Bob Jenkin's one-at-a-time hash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkins_hash_function#one-at-a-...) which is simpler than Murmur3 and displays much better avalanche characteristics than the other hashes.

I don't think it is circular, if the compiler never changes, a new compiler (for a new language) will come out. New generations might find the unchanged compiler to be obsolete (as many think of C). Thus its future might be mitigated. I don't believe introducing backwards incompatible changes is such a big thing that developers have significantly less time to develop new features. Look at Ruby 1.8->1.9 and Rails 2->3, yes it was a pain to upgrade, for a little while. But the advantages are obvious, and it was not _that_ much work. I was looking at github specifically because of their 'fork me' attitude, which I admire. I don't advocate at all we should develop software without looking at the past, if Yehuda didn't look at APT closely when he was working on bundler, then that was a missed opportunity I agree. Do you think Bundler should have somehow been an (compatible) improvement on APT instead of a separate software? I myself have never used APT the way I use bundler, and I have no idea if that would be possible.
First, Calibre doesn't do OCR (at least not the version that I last looked at, maybe a year or so ago). But then still, even if it would, having a bunch of OCR'ed pages doesn't make an ebook. Any eventual conversion software would have to strip page header and footer material, recognize chapter titles and paragraphs, etc.; and for technical books it's a magnitude worse still - it would have to recognize sidebars, images, multi-level chapter headings, ...

Converting a pdf into an ebook (by ebook I mean: epub or similar formats, I recognize that that is a fairly narrow definition of ebook; some people call scanned jpg's an 'ebook'), even without accounting for DRM or OCR, is Very Hard. PDF is only page layout, it doesn't have any semantics; ebooks are build around semantic markup (otherwise you can't make an automatic ToC, or reflow pages when the user increases font size, for example).

My point is: there is no software (to the best of my knowledge, and I've looked) that can convert bitmaps into their equivalent 'ebooks'. So, it's not quite as easy (actually it's so much harder so as to approach impossible, save from manual conversion) as the GP would make it seem.
Negotiation is a game, everybody is bluffing, just like playing poker. There are good and bad players but whatever you do (within a short term) luck matters. So you never know if avoiding a 5% cut you'll loose 100%. It's a risk that some can afford and others can't.

I'm really baffled by all those people saying that they will stop using Opera if FB acquires them.

I mean - okay, If they start modifying it to send your data to Facebook without way to opt-out - sure, do that.

If they start showing ads in fastmail and reading your mails - sure, that's reasonable.

But I really think that doing that the moment FB acquires Opera would be quite an overreaction.
Call me a zealot, but if there's one piece of software that I feel ought to be open source, it's a critical centerpiece of modern communication like the web browser. As such, Opera is already not an option for me. In fact, a Facebook acquisition could even change that if the new regime decided to produce a Chromium equivalent.

For anyone who didn't know what if expressions look like in Erlang and had to look it up, apparently they use a series of "guard sequences" and the first one to be true determines the return value. If none of the sequences is true, it creates an error. There's no "else" keyword, so you have to use true as a substitute for it like this:

is_greater_than(X, Y) ->
if
X>Y ->
true;
true -> % works as an 'else' branch
false
end

(Code from http://www.erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/expressions.html section 7.7)

His point is that people who lack deeper understanding of the field will choose the cheapest plan because they don't understand what benefits the higher plans have, and those are also the people who will make lots of support calls with very basic questions.

These are not cryptographic hashes. Comparison would be unfair as cryptographic ones are rather slow .

To me it's how a brand builds trust. Sure you can build trust with open source (afterall, if you can see the source code and build it yourself, it CAN be trusted), but you can also build trust by not being dodgy.

I've been using Opera since its paid days, and despite having switched browsers every year or so, I've still gravitated back to Opera as my day-to-day browsing browser. That's the value of their brand.

That's a rude and unprofessional answer.

If you don't have the resources for providing support and can't help yourself being rude, then maybe you shouldn't give the free/cheap option in the first place.

There are other options besides behaving like a dick.

Personally I like how mobile operators handle this. Whenever I call their free support line, I am placed on wait for at least a half an hour, with a message along the lines of "our operators are currently busy, please hold ; if you'd like priority then call this number ...".

I confess it's always seemed redundant to me. Of course what I say is just my viewpoint, and what you say is your viewpoint. And of course you have permission to form your own viewpoint.

I guess I'm really asking, do people feel they need to have permission to form their own view? I can't recall ever feeling that I didn't have that freedom, no matter how definitive the person's view sounded. I literally never even consider that possibility.

Haskell has the exact same thing. It defines an alias for true called otherwise, so it would be

if x > y ->
true;
otherwise ->
false;
end

Using otherwise makes it a loss less ugly, and I guess fixes the false cognate.
I'm amused at the common stereotype that programmers see the world in binary, logical terms. Trust me, no one knows better than a programmer that the world doesn't fit into simple logic.

Hmm. Why is he calling them false cognates? False cognates don't share a common origin whereas these words clearly do.

Anyway, for me, a good example of this phenomenon is when people come to C++ from a language like Java. In Java, you have to use "new" every time you want to create an object, so these people tend to go around putting "new" everywhere.
I'm 30 and I spend a lot of my time trying to drum most of this list into my 24 year old brother so it's not far off the mark.

The problem with self help advice like this is that you have to arrive at these conclusions through your own experiences and only then does it make sense (through hindsight).

Saying that, I think the most important point is #11, you want to accumulate as many experiences as deeply and as fully as possible. That's what sets you apart from the status quo and the average. Everything else on that list follows from that as you get older.

As the adage goes, you never regret the things you do, only the things you don't do.

I should also add that applying such advice is difficult, but just beginning the process sets you apart from the vast majority. You have to make an attempt to understand the shades and nuances, and that requires talking to those with experience and/or reading some really good books over and over until you've soaked it all in.

The key is to seek versatility in core areas. If you want to be a programmer (or a musician, or anything else), by all means go for it. BUT you still have to figure out what successfully managing your finances and relationships, etc. entails - just don't be guided by loose advice from family and friends or even "experts". Do your own homework, set your goals, even as you pursue your passion. The sooner you understand the pitfalls of debt, risk management, and perhaps even the notion of passive income, the sooner in your life you will be able to make more time to pursue your passion, your pleasures and the relationships that form the far bigger part of a meaningful life.

In my case I began my move to get things in order in my mid-thirties. Most of my productive years prior to that were spent pursuing my passion then, golf (and nope, I was never PGA material even in my dreams, so be careful of your passions as well) ... but luckily I caught myself in time. :)

I don't know. I'm quite worried that the whole technology space is turning into a big brand feud war arena.

We are begining to see the subverting of unrelated products into business strategies. No, I don't want my browser/car/glasses/phone with any strings attached. What are we looking forward to a decade from now? iBank? FB insurence? G+ real state?

I for one will make efforts to avoid those products like the plague. If we do not strenghten small brands, we accept the rule of the big ones.

Overreaction is okay for matters of principle.
The article also left out another major benefit to Facebook. If they buy Opera they will get massive exposure in the CIS region where the browser products are the strongest. This can give them a hand overtaking vKontate and could be worth much to Facebook alone. Yandex / vKontate will know this and may want to defend by a counter offer so it could be interesting.

You can do something similar in any language that support booleans as keys for dictionaries/hashtables/maps/associative arrays/...

For instance in Lua:

function abs(x)
test = {
[true]=-x,
[x>0]=x,
[x==0]=0}
return test[true]
end

> print (abs(-3))
3

To understand this code, think that `test[true]` is overwritten at initialization time by the last predicate to evaluate to True.

It's not the best way to do this, but maybe it'will help understand the above construct.

It bothers me when these articles pretend you cannot let users install fully open source apps on their iPhones:

Your users can't install closed binaries except through the app store, but you're all about open source, right?

So make your app using HTML5 like LinkedIn or Facebook, and simply bypass the app store.

For anyone interested in more information, the Wikipedia article section on IKEA's corporate structure seems to be a good start. There's also a subsection about the "public" outcry over the change from Futuru to Verdana. :)

According to Wikipedia, the royalties -- 3% of the revenue or about €630M -- are taxed, but the company receiving the royalties claims €590M in operating expenses paid out to another company (owned by the same people). Together, those two companies pay about €19M in taxes.

Apart from the royalties, lots of money goes into that infamous "non-profit", I'll quote from the Wikipedia page: The net profit of IKEA Group (which does not include Inter IKEA systems) in fiscal year 2009 (after paying franchise fees to Inter IKEA systems) was €2.538 billion on sales of €21.846 billion. Because INGKA Holding is owned by the nonprofit INGKA Foundation, none of this profit is taxed. The foundation's nonprofit status also means that the Kamprad family cannot reap these profits directly, but the Kamprads do collect a portion of IKEA sales profits through the franchising relationship between INGKA Holding and Inter IKEA Systems.

Regarding the non-profit: estimated net worth of $36B, most of the Group's profit is spent on investments, the foundation expects to spend €45 million on charitable giving in 2010 (the slightly smaller Gates foundation spent $1.5B in 2005).
