I'm not sure it's a bad thing that the competitiveness of literary production will increase.

I think you're 100% right in regards to Shakespeare, but I don't think that has anything to do with e-books. Although many of Shakespeare's contemporaries are studied in academia, Middleton, etc. are rarely read by or performed for the public. The decay rate of net 'great literature' is a natural process. I do wonder though whether e-books will speed it up.

A comment from the blog sums it up nicely and keeps the reddit-esque tone:

"boo fucking hoo.
I guess their fucking priorities don't line the FUCK up with yours. "
someone needs to get on that asap
No he didn't. Read the post. This was the first sentence: "Almost two years ago I noticed a strange multitouch problem in Mobile Safari with one of my games."

He should have learned to adapt instead of wait for a change that obviously wasn't going to happen.
Or do what Amnesty International does, and send polite but urgent letters of concern to persons of authority and influence including ambassadors (UN, US etc) and to Basher Assad himself. People are likely to be better treated if the authorities know that they are the focus of international attention (conversely it totally sucks for the thousands of anonymous people being tortured today in Syrian jails).
Linux Leap Second Bug Caused 1 Megawatt Increase In Hetzner's Power Use
I'm questioning the reason behind the need for strong anonymous publishing, as well as whether it ever really existed.
Agreed. When I set my price I assume users will learn more about the software over time and my support costs will decrease rather than increase. If someone resells their license they are basically creating a new user and I have to support them the same as if they bought directly from me? No thanks.

Actually, It's the most valuable publicly traded company by market cap. Saudi Aramco's worth trillions (some estimates go as high as 15 trillion)! :D

They have at least 260 billion barrels of oil, most of which are easily recoverable for less than $3 per barrel: http://www.forbes.com/2010/07/09/worlds-biggest-oil-companie... - That's a lot of money...

It appears that for queries that don't have direct "answer" type response and will perform an action it displays a progress bar with the query it understood. Presumably this is so that you can cancel the action if voice recognition was wrong.

It doesn't require any input though - I just tested it. Once the progress bar reaches the end (it seems to take ~7 seconds) it will complete the action.
I have only read briefly about it but there's also the new Metal as a Service (MaaS) with the latest Ubuntu. From what I understand, it gives you those APIs to manage bare metal for those cases where virtualization doesn't make sense.
Interesting approach but I'm not sure how significant these graph theoretical methods are when the networks are so very small. This would be more revealing on a metrized graph.
Hetzner is using a Megawatt more power because of linux leap-second bug
Email I just got from Hetzner (large european provider). Shows that small bugs can have big real-world consequences:

During the night of 30.06.2012 to 01.07.2012 our internal
monitoring systems registered an increase in the level of
IT power usage by approximately one megawatt.

The reason for this huge surge is the additional switched
leap second which can lead to permanent CPU load on Linux
servers.

According to heise.de, various Linux distributions are
affected by this. Further information can be found at:
http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Leap-second-Linux-can-freeze-1629805.html

In order to reduce CPU load to a normal level again, a
restart of the whole system is necessary in many cases.
This isn't the bug tracker. It's a forum for support. Someone should file a bug here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list

Once they do that, you can "star" the issue. The Chrome team can sort their bug lists by "number of stars" during prioritization and you'll get e-mails when the bug's status changes if you star the bug.
"The patent covers a system to detect telephone numbers in e-mails so, when the number on the screen is tapped, they can be stored in directories or called without dialing."

Kind of like a browser or email client detecting addresses and URLs and making them clickable.

Sheesh.

I think Sprint et al. would love to sell any phone they and their customers want.

Based on my impression of news stories, Apple is the worst offender at stopping enemy sales by patents in the smart device arena.

I think it would be easy to get them to stop if the carriers, or a single major carrier, decided not to sell iPhones until this patent bullying stopped.

Most? That is utterly untrue. I bet you'd be hard pressed to name any.

Besides, if you write under a pseudonym, and participate publicly under that pseudonym, you are no longer anonymous.

Yeah - customers who spend money.
I filed all the bug reports in a professional manner, without insults or swearing. I have a lot of respect for the engineers working at Apple, I just hate their company politics.

The blog post on the other hand was written in that manner to get public attention - which seems to have worked.

The code for the test case is about 20 lines of JavaScript. You don't have to trust me to write correct code, you can easily check it yourself.
Great ! That will prove really useful to me, as my mind refuses to store any information license-related..

Not convinced by the UI tough : a search box with a closed (& short) list of possibilities, really ?

Snowplow is only about web analytics as far as I can tell. There are a bazillion solutions out there for that.

For mobile app analytics you need a client library in Java (Android) and Objective C (iOS). The client library needs to record analytics events into a SQLite database, and then periodically try to upload them to a server (you don't always have connectivity). Attention must also be paid to things like roaming (do you want to burn user's data, it can be expensive in many parts of the world). You also need cleanup (eg if you can't send data for many days then you'll likely want to discard it). You'll want to make sure the client plays nice (eg not creating lots of threads and causing constant wakeups). It should also supply platform information since you'll want to analyze versions, screen sizes etc. There are various other little details that matter on the client.

On the server side it needs to correctly cope with data arriving days late, with "incorrect" time stamps from clients. And you'll want to easily do pointy clicky through the data as you'll have some common questions such as what are the most prevalent platform versions and devices and how does that correlate by country.
I don't think this ruling says 'you can ignore the license terms entirely.' In the article they said it wouldn't be legal to buy a license for five copies use four and then separately sell the fourth. You can't 'split' the license, so attempting split the GPL'd software into the source component and binary component would continue to be disallowed.

I think a better way to think about this is that the court is saying that the non-transferable clauses in software licenses are unenforceable, but the rest of the terms can be enforced.

The court isn't going about invalidating licenses, they're regulating contracts, one of the fundamental roles of courts.
Don't worry man, I have this Nexus One phone where the touchscreen registers touch on the side of the phone, and the advertised multitouch doesn't even work, never mind not receiving updates for the rest of my life (my hardware bugs cost me over $600!!). Your game has no chance to work on my phone, why don't I see a "What the Fucking Fuck, Google" post. All systems are plagued with bugs, and a lot of them get neglected forever. Instead of aggressively attacking a company (Apple hateboy?), expecting them to fix something after some f-bombs were dropped, why not write a meaningful blog post.

Hetzner mail to customers: 1 megawatt more power due to leap second
(Was Google translate, now from the comment of imaginator below, thanks)

Better translation of their message to English speaking customers:

During the night of 30.06.2012 to 01.07.2012 our internal monitoring systems registered an increase in the level of IT power usage by approximately one megawatt.

The reason for this huge surge is the additional switched leap second which can lead to permanent CPU load on Linux servers.

According to heise.de, various Linux distributions are affected by this. Further information can be found at: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Leap-second-Linux-can...

In order to reduce CPU load to a normal level again, a restart of the whole system is necessary in many cases. First, a soft reboot via the command line should be attempted. Failing that, you have the option of performing a hardware reset via the Robot administration interface. For this, select menu item "Server" and the "Reset" tab for the respective server in the administration interface.

Current theory predicts that Higgs boson exists. If it is found, the theory is deemed 'correct' (that is, reinforced, not disproved). Then we're a step closer tho the 'general theory of everything'.

If Higgs boson is clearly not found where the theory predict it, then the theory is deficient and has to be seriously rethought or thrown away altogether! It would be exciting time of uncertainty, crazy ideas, and new and interesting stuff to try (like it was with quantum mechanics). Or maybe not — the new and interesting effects may lie far away from the range of masses and energies of daily life (e.g. we don't usually directly see any effects of general relativity).
The point is: the reason Flash was bad was that the only way to display Flash content was with Adobe's (buggy) implementation.

With all that swearing you could be forgiven for thinking Apple had been caught skinning kittens for iPhone parts. Save the hyperbole, please.
I don't think it getting credibility in that way was ever any sort of a risk. A small independent documentary for a niche audience was never going to get the same sort of billing as John Carter.

But that's probably what's happened - it's a small niche interest film that they've just dumped in there. Looking at the new releases I don't think that's all new releases, just potentially popular ones.

Not everything gets equal billing in iTunes and not promoting something isn't the same as burying it. I suspect that this has had precisely the same level of attention applied to it as any other small, indie film - that is none at all.
Let's ask God the highest energy particle, evar!

God says...

7:2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy
belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.

7:3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.

7:4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in
Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of
Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.

7:5 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head
like purple; the king is held in the galleries.

7:6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! 7:7
This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters
of grapes.

Elementary particles have no volume! (think about that one, it's kinda mindblowing)

They can only have "effective size" that arises due to say, electromagnetism. The electron has an effective radius that is measured by bouncing other charged "test" particles off of it. You don't get an answer of zero only because your test particles are attracted or repelled by the electron.

Mass should be thought of as something intrinsic to a particle, just like charge or spin. There's really no good way to visualize it - it's just something different particles have in different amounts.
Actually, in the final Pirlo did not have the ball the most for Italy because he was closely marked by Xavi. A central defender, Barzagli got more touches than him. It would be interesting to see the graph of that match.

Also your final assertion that teams set themselves up so their best players get the ball the most seems a bit off to me. Consider FC Barcelona. Lionel Messi is arguably their best player but you would be hard pressed to find a game in which he has the ball the most since he plays high up on the pitch as an attacker.

I agree with you in that single match analysis using this technique doesn't really produce any new insights. I think this analysis would be very interesting when comparing between different games however. e.g. comparing Italy's match against England where Pirlo was effectively given free reign of the pitch to their match against Spain where he was shut down for most of the match. I would love to get my hands on some raw data from Optasports!
No. There will be an Irish Government investigation into this. They would never get away with manufacturing it.
One does not simply replace a player of the quality of Xavi. He and Iniesta are the big difference makers for Spain (and Barcelona for that matter). They've had a historic run the last 5 years for club and country. It might be asking too much to continue it another 2 years, but as it is, it's been great to watch.

Anyway the first 15 minutes of the Euro final were mesmerizing by Iniesta. When the game was still a contest, He and Xavi were lethal.
Entirely correct. But what are we supposed to do about it? Switch platforms? As you point out, 50 developers will replace me if I do that.
Apple is not offering the warranty mandated by the law, so when the device breaks, the customer has to buy a new one. If that is what you get for paying a premium price for the latest Apple product then I have to say no, thanks.

Without saying whether it's a good solution or not, in the real world "properties" (as some people have taken to calling web sites) get taxed. Amongst other things, this encourages the property owners to "shit or get off the pot" in terms of utilizing the property: if you are not making anything off of it, you will actually lose money because of the taxes, so you're encouraged to sell it, or dedicate some time and effort to fix it up to a point where you can rent it out or otherwise gainfully employ it.

With domain names, there is a fixed yearly "tax" of something like $10.

There are a lot of things to dislike about property taxes on domain names, but it would be one way of encouraging people to either do something or let them go, which hopefully would encourage them to end up where they are most 'productively' employed.

The entire article revolves around a bug that came about from an HTML5 game the author was working on.

> Almost two years ago I noticed a strange multitouch problem in Mobile Safari with one of my games.

TwistedWeasel has a valid point. OS X and iOS are not open source projects one can fork and submit patches to. Neither is Windows or Windows Mobile for that matter. If someone finds a bug, submitting a testcase and doing a lot of legwork is probably appreciated, but none of that will guarantee the bug will get fixed. Finding a workaround is a much better short term solution for the developer because they can continue on developing the way they need to and not have to wait for the black box of Apple's Radar to return a positive result. On some occasions, the developer might be able to search into WebKit to see if the problem is there, and submitting a bug report to that project might return more valid feedback. Significant portions of both OS X and iOS are available in source code form.

Is this ideal? No. Is it how it works? Yes. Can an everyday non-Apple engineer do anything about it? Not really.
You misinterpret. It's just the old "See the X that Y doesn't want you to see" sales routine.
This is based on licenses. Even eBooks have licenses (see store's TOS). So if I buy an app from Apple's App Store and want to sell it, it seems to me Apple would be required by the Court to delete that app from my account and place it in the used buyer's account. Same for eBooks. Am I missing anything?

I would phrase it as "press into the screen with another finger" maybe. Common screen coordinates (to me) are left/right (x), up/down (y), and in/out (z). The instruction is trying to refer to the z coord, but using the common word for the y coord.

In my opinion it also works for a large codebase. You just have to define your (REST) resources carefully, but they scale very well. The smaller details (on class/object level) are in your lib directory and have no direct relation with your Sinatra app. In fact your Sinatra app could also have been a command line app or something else.

On a tangent.. I'd love to see a heat map of Messi's movement for Barcelona (and Argentina). Whenever I watch him he's all over the place. And to my eyes, he's most dangerous when picking the ball up either from the midfield line or on the touchline half way up the field. In both cases, when runs at pace with the ball he's diabolically good. Any data/visualization to track that would be fantastic to see, especially filtering only on those instances where he causes real damage to the opponent (e.g. a shot on goal for him or a teammate)...
That is false. They did not remove any code to make it not run on XP. They made additions to the CRT which made use of Vista+ APIs and thus the CRT would not be able to run on XP. They are now going to rewrite the parts that relied on the Vista+ APIs so the CRT (and thus C++ programs that rely on it) will run on XP.
From Apple's standpoint as a publicly traded company, their mandate is to maximize shareholder value.

I built a lot of workarounds to make my game engine ( http://impactjs.com/ ) work on iOS, Android and other browsers. But I couldn't find a viable workaround for this multitouch bug. The touchstart/move/end events are the only way to detect multiple touches in Mobile Safari - and they don't work as they should.

This bug is affecting many HTML5 games and as long as I'm not allowed to install another browser (engine) on iOS, I will keep complaining.
if you are not making anything off of it, you will actually lose money because of the taxes, so you're encouraged to sell it, or dedicate some time and effort to fix it up to a point where you can rent it out or otherwise gainfully employ it.

This sounds like an argument for ending property tax, not an argument for adding a "web property tax."
