I think I understand what you're saying, the Webmachine documentation is pretty heavy on the REST. That said, in my opinion it could serve any kind of resource, the library itself doesn't force you to build a RESTful interface.
In my opinion, any new language today should be all beginner friendly, there are large pool of people who are interested and it means a great future of our world.
Looks well done, but it seems fairly similar to a lot of other apps in the same space: "look, ma, flood fill!". That, or the big, fat "pen" that's possibly even more difficult to do anything useful with for little fingers than a real pencil or crayon.

In other words... I'm still not convinced that tablets or phones are very good for "coloring" or "painting" for children. That's not really a knock on your app, which seems about as good as these things get, but more of a call to use the devices in a new and interesting way that lets kids be creative and makes the most of the features the devices have, rather than emulating (poorly) something that works ok in the real world.
64 bit address space significantly improves the effectiveness of ASLR, 64 bit tagged pointers can store way more data (7 byte strings, dunno if anyone actually does that, though).
Reddit, the new Digg
> Go code is obviously formatted with gofmt.

Is not, he also inlined some things, e.g. this:

import ("flag";"fmt")

would be expanded to multiline by gofmt, as well as this:

if i>0 { fmt.Print(" ") }

As to other things, I can't comment now, as I don't have time to read through all of the article at the moment.
Note that this is a recurring theme. Two possible explanations:

1. It's trivial for you. Is it as trivial or convenient for the average Joe? Tor is slower and more restricted in terms of multimedia and VPNs and other proxy/routing services cost money and while not hard to implement, are still beyond the grasp of the average citizen. Of course this immediately prompts the question of whether this is intended as a security measure at all since only the average citizen will be affected.

2. I suspect that this is more about legislative precedence than it is about actual implementation. Governments are forever forcing new surveillance measures. The common people ignore them and the techies resolve to bypass them technically. But the politically harm is already done. Before we know it there will be hundreds of these laws and measures passed and when we finally realize it, it will be very hard to persuade the bureaucrats that implemented them in the first place to remove them.
It's not the only advantage. Another, more important advantage of C and C++ over Go is a lack of stop-the-world garbage collection (and predictable memory usage under high load).

Please, don't take Ken's stuff too seriously. If you want serious Nikon reviews, go to Thom Hogan's [0] or Moose Peterson's [1], or just dpreview for the technical nitty-gritty stuff. Ken Rockwell is fun to read, but he also 'reviews' stuff he hasn't seen, and has some moronic stances on some issues (like RAW vs. JPEG)

From far enough away anything looks good. If you look at the THX recommendations for cinema setup, they add up to something like a 60 degree viewing angle on the screen. To match human eye resolution you want approximately one pixel every 0.3-0.4 arc minutes; let's say 3 pixels / arc minute, or 180 pixels/degree. So for a screen that was "perfect" up to the limits of human perception, taking up a cinema-screen-sized area of your vision, you'd need at least 180*60~=10000 horizontal pixels.

We're approaching the limits of human perception, but we're not there yet; 4K does seem like a useful improvement over 1080

Setting price based on time savings limits the perceived value of your product since for most people they set the opportunity cost of their time pretty low. It might work better in a b2b sale where the opportunity cost is higher.

What you really want to do is provide value by letting customers do something that is otherwise impossible or painful.

For instance buffer lets you sleep while you tweet. That is much more valuable than saving time.

Seriously. If you write programs at OS level, you need the control over memory, timing, etc. In go you have no control about the runtime at all. Don't get me wrong. Go is fantastic for any kind of gooooogle, cron, at, ... server stuff. At OS or bare level you unfortunately need something other than a sledgehammer.
congratulations, it looks very good.

re monetising. I assume you plan to bring out more things to colour? If so you could announce them being available when the app is first opened. Assuming that is most likely to be done by the adult it should avoid worrying people. Make anything which could lead to a purchase happening obvious and make the bright coloured attention grabbing button take the user (possibly the child) to the game.

unless there is a safer/better way to go about it. Good luck!
It's exciting to know that full-frame cameras are finally coming down in price. If this were three years ago, I'd be interested. Nowadays, I'm more intrigued by smaller cameras that offer brilliant quality and usability, such as the new Olympus OM-D and other cameras with 4/3 sensors.

A tip for other parents who let their kids use their Android phones or tablets. You can lock the Play Store so a pin is needed to do purchases. This also locks in-app purchases.

Older Android Markets did not have this options so I had to learn about this the hard (expensive) way.
I agree, but overall Ken's opinion is definitely worth paying attention. He's often right, more often than not, in my opinion. Some will, ofcourse, dislike him. He's definitely not a "square" character. He's an entertaining oddball. It's kind of like the arguments against Top Gear as a car show. The truth is, Top Gear isn't only a car show.

Spoken like someone who has never had to spend hours and days toying with a single design element to get it to work in older versions of IE.

HasLayout?

BoxModel?

These are not things that allow for "graceful degradation"

These things are horrible aberrations birthed forth from hells bowels designed to destroy any chance of having a single, concise, clear approach to CSS and HTML when trying to be backwards compatible.

I'm sorry, but it's time for browsers of a certain age to die off. There is no elitism here; Newer browsers are irrefutably better in every way than the old dregs of IEs growing pains.

Too many man hours are wasted on trying to get things to work in these old browsers, and it simply is not worth it.

This isn't elitism, it's sanity.
> Looking at other systems such as Haiku shows that porting Go is encouraged, the only issues have to deal with assumptions in the build (in this case, I think /bin/env/bash is included everywhere, there's no global variable to change this definition from different OS types).

I think this is not longer a problem with the new build system that is part of Go 1.

Also AFAIK at least the Plan 9 port is almost complete, and is certainly functional.

This is a real shame, especially for HTML5 games. What's even worse is hardware acceleration on the 2D canvas appears to be disabled by default too, so HTML5 games in Opera 12 on a powerful desktop will run slower than an iPad or iPhone, because they have hardware acceleration. Looks like Opera 12 is a no-go for gaming.
If it wasn't readily apparent how little you "got it" before this post, saying "We just don't work hard enough" destroys any credibility you may have here.

Sorry, but there's a difference between "working hard" to make sure your site looks good and functions across as many browsers as you can, and wasting hours of your valuable time that could be better spent elsewhere, trying to get older versions of IE to show things properly without damaging all the other browsers.
Uh! Ya I did look at your HN profile; and also visited your personal website. Have reached out via twitter, because your email wasn't listed here. Catch up there :)

Definitely agree with this. My little girl is almost at this stage now and I'm not sure that tablets are the right way to go. This implementation looks really nice but I think that the real world version is sooooo much more expressive.

Export to SVG Image in PPTX & Access Password Protected Presentation
We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Slides for .NET 6.3.0. This major product release added some new features like accessing document properties of password protected presentation and support for embedded videos in case of PPTX. We have also added the long awaited feature of exporting to SVG image support for PPTX Slides in this release. Many presentation rendering issues including increased PDF size and improper rendering has been resolved. Some of the presentation access issues along with the data access from added Ole frame has also been resolved in this new release. The chart support has also been enhanced in this new release and support for adding formatting for chart titles and labels has also been introduced in this new release.

Thank you! I did thorough research trying to find something like that in the Android Market, and didn't think to look again after the rebranding.

Hope they work on promoting that feature more. This could reduce the number of games whose core gameplay and general UI seems modeled around trying to trick kids into purchasing something.

Yes, it works on IRIX and RTEMS (an embedded OS), and the gc suite was also ported on Ethos.

I'd also like to add that the gc compilers support ARM as well as x86 and amd64 and are very, very easy to port to new platforms.
IE6 was released more than 10 years ago and doesn't even do tabs. The comparison is laughable.

We already have audio watermarking with Cineva which stops mutes playback on devices such as the PS3. Obviously the media player needs to implement detection of Cineva and then block playback (or audio in the case of Cineva which I believe causes the player the mute the audio). I very much doubt VideoLAN and MPC-HC will implement such things however I can see Windows Media Player and other "official" media players implementing it.

Cineva is interesting as from what I have read it can survive even pretty extreme audio changes so even the audio from a CAM copy with crappy mono sound will still carry the watermark from capture to encoded MP4 (or whatever you capture to). I have not seen any statistics on how successful it actually is at surviving in real world use though.
Game Changing Fabless Screen Design
I love the idea of the Handlebars 'view' helper.

On Firefox, Options > Privacy, check "Tell websites that I do not want to be tracked". Not sure if all websites respect this setting.
This obviously wouldn't work for smaller sites but ...

What if Facebook was transparent about how much they earned on advertising per user. Would you pay to use their service without the ads (and associated tracking cookies)?

Hmmm ... as I reread that, it kind of sounds like "protection". But I guess there are a lot of companies that won't make money without shaking down their customers in some way or another.
There's a free app called Famigo Sandbox which will provide your kid with their own launcher with a subset of apps you've approved for their use. As well as in-app purchases, it also prevents making phone calls, sending texts, mucking about with your settings etc. and blocks ads until you unlock with a swipe pattern to get back to the full phone.

It's quite handy. I assume they make money via recommending kid focused apps to their users.

I am also getting mixed feedback about buy buttons, so I will experiment tonight and will bring better solution which will be even less annoying. If you have good examples or suggestions, I'll be happy to see them!

Thanks again.

The cost of performance: tag cutting
Goroutines are great, but I'm not convinced they are the greatest advantage over C.

Go cleans up and fixes pretty much every issue C had, and improves it in many non-obvious areas, from the syntax to the type system.

And when porting an existing project I'm not surprised if goroutines would come up that often given that they probably don't have any equivalent in the original design.

Devaluation is the easiest solution from a political point of view, but it is basically a transfer of value from those with savings/creditors to those in debt (including all of us with large credit card debts and mortgages).

It punishes the careful savers and rewards the profligate, and sends a signal that living high on credit is good, while those that save and live within their means are idiots.
Opera has an inbuilt IMAP client... which I admittedly never use, but between that and Thunderbird, why would you even want to use webmail?

It would be pretty optimistic to assume that Facebook wouldn't store your historical data, if you're deliberately logged in with your account but sending DNT: 1. Facebook's whole user experience pretty much relies on the historical data it collects of the logged in users' actions.

I don't really know anything about those drivers (they're not handled by the open source team). No one on the open source team likes them either.

It has seemed to me that using these PVR chips has always been a stop gap measure for Atom until the in-house graphics were ready (where ready means sufficiently energy efficient or something). This seems to be confirmed by the fact that ValleyView graphics are going to be coming to Atom.
Go is relatively beginner friendly, is simpler and smaller than most languages around (even for example Python). Go code is concise but without dark magic (is easy to see what code does by just looking at it). And you can even read the whole language spec fairly easily.
For those of you like me who had no idea what a full-frame camera was, apparently most DSLRs use image sensors that are smaller than a 35mm frame, so if you try to use a 35mm lens on one of these cameras part of the lens's image circle will be cropped off. Quality is also compromised. Full-frame cameras can also more effectively use wide-angle lenses.

Categorical Imperative? Wow. Did you take a Philosophy of Ethics class and stop listening halfway or something? It's almost ironic to use that to argue against this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_imperative#Inquirin...

Shedding a bit more light on the ethics of the action of leaking this data, the reason why a lot of people feel conflicted about the right- or wrongness of the action, is because it is perfectly acceptable from a Virtue Ethics point of view: The fact that leaking private data would be wrong in the vast majority of cases is inconsequential because the data being that of a (generally agreed upon to be) evil organisation ascertains the moral character of the actor (in some sense).

A strict moral code like the C.I. is pretty dangerous when it forces you to disclose you're hiding Jews in your attic (sorry for the "Godwin", but that's the counterexample I was taught). It's even worse if done half-assed "well obviously you don't need to take it that strict if it leads to bad things" because then you can argue your way around everything--without even having to consider "does this make me a good person?".

And from that point of view, for me, the real question to ask: Would this person (or persons) have done the same thing if the emails did not belong to Scientology or neo-nazis or similar?
