To make Inferno run Go efficiently, you'd probably need to add instructions to the Dis VM to do interfaces, channel closing, slice capacities and likely other things I haven't thought of.

To make Go run well under Inferno, you'd need to change the language to allow dynamically loaded modules (can we use the type compatibility model when we can't link everything together at once?).

These issues are doable, but even if you've done that, the performance trade-offs when writing a program to run in a VM are quite different from running natively - in particular, much idiomatic Go code would probably be dog slow under Inferno, because we're not steaming along at native code rates.

All that assumes we'd translate Go to Dis though. There may be alternative routes.
Easier said than done. You've never been deaf, so how would you know? Even if you try to imagine being in their footsteps, it's not the same. I definitely can't imagine myself living in complete silence. If you live in silence, the isolation will probably make any normal person depressed.

Interesting. I constantly advocate Skeleton[1], and one of the better reasons I tout is that it's not 960.gs.

This seems nice, but I prefer 'cutoff' value changes. I don't know why it bugs me that text might be constantly shifting as I adjust the screen, but it does, and I much prefer the layout to only respond when it has to, to prevent overflow beyond the visible viewport.

If the submitter is responsible for the project in any way, the teaser text ("The NEW Responsive 960 yadda yadda") overlays onto the 'Gumby' logo as you resize into the smaller resolutions.

Edit: This post seems negative, and for that I apologize. I've been up for about 20 hours now and perhaps it's made me cranky. Regardless, this is a nice project and I'm glad somebody did it.
That's brilliant - I've been searching around for a Australian stripe equivalent for while. Thanks for the tip!

When you work in or travel to another country speaking another language that you don't know, it feels like you are really left out. Doing anything requires more effort. You feel lost and confused. Not understanding when your coworkers speak their language eventually becomes frustrating. Of course in this case, you're out for an adventure and new learning experiences, so it's not the same as actually be physically deaf.
..except for the law of leaky abstractions, which is what get you accidents like AF447. Until the automation has situational awareness, you still need skilled pilots.

Piloting is still a high skill job, it's just that there's a surplus of young people who really love flying and will accept a crappy salary to live their dream.
not everyone agrees with linus. ingo molnar supported peter zijlstra. with facts. something linus always wants but usually is too busy delivering (ehem..).

Most of the linecount win is due to the removal of the dysfunctional power scheduling - but even without that commit it's a simplification:

while it lifts the historic limitations of the sched-domains approach and makes the code a whole lot more logical."
At risk of committing the eternal developer fallacy of attempting to fix cultural problems with technology: is there anything we, as a hacker community, can do to help?

As brother to a profoundly deaf sister (whose nerve-deafness and age make her ineligible for the cochlea implant), the most obvious opportunity is the poor accessibility of online video as you mentioned under "Screencasts, talks, and video tutorials". It seems that YouTube is making great progress in this area (c.f. http://www.youtube.com/t/captions_about and the simplicity of the transcript format at http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&an...); is it just a case of contributing more transcripts and bringing this functionality to all video?

I vaguely remember some other efforts in this area, it'd be great if there was some painless way to transcribe arbitrary video (such as screencasts) and be able to wrap a player with caption support.
Sometimes I feel the same way, though I recognize that this is a kind of 80/20 rule as well. While I could do without about 80% of spoken word I hear everyday, missing the other 20% would really throw me off. And this is just the hearing part, not being able to express yourself would probably be even worse.

Viewed from afar it might not seem such a huge disadvantage, but I even stopped being a strict vegetarian because it can be such a hassle sometimes. In theory you can always find vegetarian alternatives, but it can be tiring to always have to explain yourself and go the extra mile. If cutting one group of foods out of my daily intake is too much for me to bear every day, how could I judge what losing speech and hearing would do to me?
One thing that does happen is that hearing kids
of deaf parents become fluent in both ASL and a
spoken language

This also happens inside families that migrated to another country. The parents do not speak the foreign language withing the walls of their own house (the foreign language being an inconvenience for them), but that doesn't stop the children from being very fluent in both languages from a very young age.
I still don't really get what Firebug offers over Chrome's dev tools these days. What do you prefer about it?
What will change? Before was Flash, now is HTML5?

More like non-standardized parts which currently are working drafts only.

But seeing how just saying "this is standard HTML, really!" again and again and again worked for the What WG, I guess there is nothing wrong in browser-vendors attempting to do the same to get their proprietary extensions embedded into the standard as well. At least it's not much worse.

All is good in browser-wars and love, etc.

I don't think there's any question Chrome is going to win the Second Broswer War. The question is only when we all agree it's over.

The monopoly issue seems even more troublesome this time, as compared with when Microsoft was trying to tie the browser to the desktop PC OS, because the web and search is actually Google's core business.

If I were working on Chrome I would find myself wondering, "So what happens after we become the browser that 99% of the web uses and develops for? What if ChromeOS follows a similar path? Is that going to be good for the web in the long term? What if Google's business starts to slow down? We have created a virtual strangehold over the web. We might have to use it more aggressively."

Or maybe not. All that free food. The big bonuses. The great things we achieved. In the near term, we have seriously made things better for everyone. Life's just too good to think business could ever falter. Maybe I might never have such thoughts. I'm just an engineer. I'm just doing my job. I can't worry about these things.

The amount of control one company is developing over something so essential as the web is just obscene.
As a hacker my first thought after reading this is that how the improvement of speech recognition technology combined with something like google glasses could help deaf people.
Start sending dates the right way (aka The ISO8601 101)
Having taught programming by Logo, think of 'ellipse(50,50,80,80)' as 'printf("hello world\n")'. Enthusiatic people will quickly figure out how to wrap that ellipse in a loop, add some variables, maybe find the equivalent of rand(), and now we are suddenly much closer to "real programming".

While some would think this is a horrible thing to say, I would say when teaching programming, the single most important thing is "amount of work required to do something the user feels is interesting". Once they are interested and understand variables, loops, and functions, then teaching them proper habits and "proper languages" is much easier.
have you considered adopting the jsonpath syntax?

it would be more javascripty and would be another implementation (or a superset) of jsonpath

So landfills are not very pleasant places, and Maldives, like almost every country in the world, operates one. This piece seems overly sensationalist to me. Imho waste handling has more important places to shine light on, like the practice of exporting waste from western countries to 3rd world ones, where poor people then try to recover anything precious, often working without any protection from the toxic substances.
I wonder why the eyes had to develop a method to defeat adaptation from the brain. A quick google search yielded no answers, but if I had to guess, neural adaptation developed first in simple nervous systems because it helped organisms react to changes, such as a changing water current when a predator was nearby. As complex vision developed, it became advantageous for organisms to not go blind momentarily for some reason, perhaps because changes in the environment can be better predicted with constant sight. Organisms that didn't go blind had an advantage, and the method for them not to go blind was for their eyes to jiggle imperceptibly but just enough for the brain not to adapt. That would be my guess anyway. Detecting only changes works better for "simpler" senses like touch, but sight works better when it's not arbitrarily turned off by the brain.
Thanks for sharing your story! It takes true guts to write about your true feelings.

I hate it when they say "well, there is only one Mark Zuckerberg".

Well, there are a lot of @igorgue (me) out there; I didn't go to college, heck, I didn't even go to high school - If I had to apply to one of those factories that require a high school degree, I couldn't. But, I do have a, fairly successful, software development career, my business card reads "senior software engineer".

I'm 24, I earn more than my friends my age, I'm high-middle-class - I joke saying I'm the 2.5% instead of the 1% - I'm even foreign, and a minority. I'm 100% out of debt.

My point is, most people know they can't be Mark Zuckerberg even if they go to college, they just want to have some success. And the average joe - myself included - can do get it without going to college.
I assure you, people get quite emotional about large sums of money.
Good.

So Facebook & Google are fine, too then. You authenticate with them, then they add features based on that.
No, you are right, the post needs some clarification there and thanks for the feedback (I am correcting it). The event loop is no real concurrency but Node's child processes and cluster enable real (multithreaded) concurrency. The event loop is a lean instrument enabling asynchrony within a single thread with minimum overhead leading to some kind of concurrency—or something which is non-blocking and feels "concurrent" for Node and its entire ecosystem—and paired with child processes and cluster you have real concurrency.

If you use child processes then interaction between processes (employing different threads) is easy. With cluster you have to setup some communication between nodes.
I wonder if it's something as simple as the name 'Opera' (why?) Having said that Firefox and Chrome are pretty lousy names too, it doesn't seem to have done them any harm.
Chrome certainly used to feel snappier with JS, which probably attracts the gamers.

This is very impressive work - it's amazing to see what can be done with CSS these days.

But it's not very usable as a stopwatch.

A real stopwatch has a single start/stop button that triggers when pressed.

This stopwatch has separate mouse-driven buttons for start and stop, and they trigger when released. That makes it impossible to measure a very short time, and awkward to start and stop at precise moments.

It would also be nice if there were keyboard shortcuts for stop/start/reset - and those keyboard shortcuts should also trigger on keydown. (You could make a minor improvement on physical stopwatches by supporting both a single key for stop/start and two separate keys. The single key is convenient and familiar, but being able to use separate keys would make it easy to time very short events. This of course works only with the keyboard and not with mouse-driven buttons.)

Can all that be done in CSS? I suspect not - and if not, then why go to extra work to achieve a pure CSS implementation that's less usable? You could do it more easily with JavaScript, make it compatible with more browsers, and provide a better user experience too.
According to the page you linked, the difference is because NetApplication uses unique daily users instead of page hits. NetApplications also uses some different weighting per country. StatCounter also use a much larger sample, 3 million websites vs 40k.

I would guess, this means there are still more people using IE, but those using Chrome use the internet more often?

Interresting.

SQlike is another effort in the same direction. It provides a wide range of SQL features including joins. JavaScript tables
are used as query language.

See http://www.thomasfrank.se/sqlike.html for an overview and http://www.thomasfrank.se/SQLike/ for examples.

dataArray = [
{firstName: "Paul", lastName: "Stele", age:35, salary:35000},
...
]

dataArray2 = [
{firstName: "Paul", lastName: "Stele", favColor:"green"},
...
]

SQLike.q(
{
Select: ['*'],
From: dataArray,
Where: function(){return this.salary>50000},
OrderBy: ['salary','|desc|']
}
)

SQLike.q(
{
Select: ['*'],
From: {t1:dataArray},
NaturalJoin: {t2:dataArray2},
Where:function(){return this.t1.firstName!='Vicki'}
}
)
This sounds like a classic case of premature optimisation. Cross that bridge when you get there. Thousands of other deaf parents have done so. Their kids were fine.

Actually, you're right. Sometimes the girl I like is deaf, sometimes not. I should be fine with kids either way, and put in the work to make sure they develop right. I'm rethinking this entire paragraph. Perhaps I should have said I don't specifically search for a girl who is deaf, and then just left it at that, or just removed it entirely. Love is love.

Let me respectfully suggest that this is just untrue, a persistent myth about language learning. Hearing kids learn spoken language just fine, even if their parents don't use it.

Some (old) studies had suggested otherwise, but you made me remember the bilingualism argument, which is gaining traction. I do know that if you have a hearing child to both deaf parents, it's very important to expose the child to spoken language as much as possible. Of course, I hope I'm that kind of parent :-)

Bilingual kids do have a lot of advantages over kids who only know one language. I'd be very happy to teach my child, hearing or deaf, both sign and English.

Thanks for the insightful comment.

To be fair, Google Chrome is completely open source too, expect for the integrated PDF Reader and Flash. You can compile Chromium from the source and add these two manually, if you need them.
Author here. I wanted to try something a little lighter than jsonpath and with a specific mode of (node collection|descent) that allowed set arithmetic to be the primary means of comparisons and assertions. This allowed me to obviate the need for scoped AND/OR structures and instead provide a broad range of assertion options using superset, subset, disjoint and joint set operations.

It's most certainly not perfect, but I had fun experimenting with it.

I have used linq.js in the past to query my JSON: http://linqjs.codeplex.com/
it's a nice project, and if it adds something extra then go for it :)

but sometimes I think jsonpath should be more visible and it's not, that's why I was trying to avoid fragmentation for the same solution. But as you said, it tries a different approach so it makes sense to use a different syntax.
This looks pretty handy for large datasets, to be sure.

SpahQL is definitely much lighter than that - the API is intended to be more jquery-like with a specific selector language, each selection returning a resultset object which then provides methods for subselections and modifications.

SGI's IRIX always had the ability to do since decades ago. Of course, like others have stated, the main reason is to conserve both memory (for pointers) and more importantly bus bandwidth (which is a mayor problem in MPI/SMP systems memory, especially in those IRIX supported with 128+ cpus in a NUMA configuration).

There are still many features where linux is just playing catch-up that commercial unix kernels had decades ago.
Very good advice! ISO8601 is a perfect tradeoff between the machine readable Unix timestamp, and the human readable mess used in http.

The only thing libraries often get wrong is that the timestamp should always be present and default to 'Z'. It's pretty rare to want timestamps in local time except during debugging, but that's often the default. It catches a lot of people out.

I'm a diehard Firefox user, but I'm very glad that Chrome is there to offer some real competition.

Back in the Firefox 3.6 days, Mozilla was beginning to get a little lazy, somewhat like Microsoft in the IE6 days. Then Chrome came along and Mozilla realized that they had to compete. It took them a couple of years to catch up, but now Firefox is a worthy competitor to Chrome and vice versa.

Great article. OP - If it helps, I also have a minor physical disability. I can't type properly with one hand (congenital defect, although its impacting aesthetics more when compared to motor functions) yet I'm working as an engineer for few years. And now I'm part of founding team at a startup. It never acted as an impediment in my life or career. I generally don't mention about it (to anyone) because I feel I get unwanted sympathies and awkward looks. As I'm perfectly normal like otherwise.

Don't worry about hearing disability. It will only affect you if only you think so. And there will be some times you'll feel lonely and depressed (like after your bowling alley incident) because you are not part of the norm. Always remember, despite all the odds you are doing amazing (compared to others). So use that as an inspiration. That said, I would like to wish your well in you career.

P.S. This is the first time I'm talking about it in public forum (in my entire life). So I'm inspired from your post :-)

Same here. I had switched to Chrome a few months ago but have switched back since then. The last versions of Firefox are a great step toward the perfect browser: excellent performances and startup time, great addons, and a smaller memory footprint than Chrome.

Opera seems to face the chicken and egg problem. Many websites that are specifically optimized for some browsers don't work on Opera. They don't consider opera for its low user numbers. And users are not not easily attracted to a feature rich browser where some sites don't work. I've used Opera for many years but when they had a bit of a buggy release (I think it was around Opera 10) I switched to Chrome, albeit with some sad feelings (I miss fast forward the most).
