Are there any displays for computers/phones/etc. which "capture the full gamut of human visual perception", or even close to it? It basically goes sRGB < Adobe RGB < NTSC, and there are plenty in CMYK which aren't in NTSC.
It depends even more heavily on the "threading" implementation on your hardware. Some CPUs are designed to run a bunch of threads to keep the chip busy (like the Niagara family Ultrasparcs) and others have SMT bolted on as an afterthought that mostly doesn't help (Pentium 4 "HyperThreading" or whatever Intel calls it).
Then there's the AMD Bulldozer approach which is kind of between multicore and SMT, with some shared and some dedicated resources per thread. Then there's the Tera MTA style approach where you basically switch threads on every instruction to hide memory latency. Etc etc.
I have tried rEFIt! On my late 2011 MBP I was not able to get it to work.

So either I was installing and configuring it wrong (definitely possible) or it just doesn't work any more. (Or maybe a combination of both. This is the life of an open source zealot i'm afraid.)
Awesome name.
I came across several job posts in London in the threads you mentioned (sepcificallym the whoishiring account). Not sure why you needed a new thread for London.
Google's expertise has always been cheap and cheerful.
It is good they stopped trying to compete with iPhone and failed claims of build quality and real world hardware performance.

Google differentiates on their "free and cheap stuff paid by ads" model, which is nice for billions of people, and highly cost effective. But it isn't premium.

GPU "core" is equivalent to scalar component of SIMD units like SSE / AVX. You may have 4-8 of them for every hyperthread. So in x86 CPU with 8 core and 2 hyperthreads you may have 8 x 2 x 4 = 64 equivalents of GPU cores.

In OpenCL terms it's called a PE (Processing Element).

Also what AMD calls a "GPU core" is something smaller, than what NVIDA calls "GPU core".
Thanks for the info, now it's working again.
And so have I (put it to real world use). I'm getting 2-3 days of battery life (not much actual talking on the phone), love the display, love the OS and all the interconnected s/w features, and love the responsiveness, and find the data performance is adequate for my needs. I wish it had a better camera.
Yeah, not sure I see the point. Also, if this is supposed to be about all of Europe, you should've mentioned that in the title.
I can't trust the review of anyone who thinks the Galaxy Nexus has a good camera. I have the GNex and it's objectively one of the worst cameras on a high end phone in a long time. Most reviews of the GNex agree. I think this person just felt like hating.
I've noticed Google voice search is taking much longer now than I remember it taking on 2.3. Not always, but like 1 out of 3 times it will hang for up to 60 seconds on simple commands like "call Mom".

These[1] are military aircraft flying military missions. I think it is pretty self evident why the military should be flying them. My guess is that having contractors flying them introduces a level of "indirection" reducing any one organization's responsibility and, therefor, its accountability.

1. Of course there are other, non-military drones out there, but they aren't what we are discussing here.

I have a column usually set to 80 chars, or sometimes 100, and I manually make sure that it's not much longer than that unless it would hurt code readability to make a new line.

I try to have two windows open on my MacBook Pro 80-100 chars per line allows me to do that, most of the time.

It is a pet peeve of mine when developers try to fit as much on one line of code as possible. There are tools to compile code, you as a developer should try to make your code as human readable as possible, that is unless you like being the only one to maintain your code.

OK that's a terrible linkbait title. This is a personal opinion of one person. Every review I've read says the Nexus 4 is much improved in every respect over the Galaxy Nexus. Just because of one person's opinion, that does not make it a dud. Please change your title.

No more USB mass storage? Darn, that was one of the main reasons I ordered a Nexus after trying another phone OS. Well, it's Linux so I suppose I can port Samba or NFS to it or something :-)
Absolutely not. I had a Galaxy Nexus (which I gave to my dad) so I can compare the two directly.

Screen: The Gnex has more saturated colours but the Nexus 4 screen is also gorgeous with accurate colour representation and insane viewing angles. Whites are brilliant and everything looks like it's printed on paper.

Connectivity: I really have no idea what he is talking about here. I am on a shitty cheapo unlimited everything carrier in Canada and at the ground floor of my house I would get 0-1 bars of reception on the Gnex while now on the N4 I get a consistent 2 bars. Just one example but this might vary user to user.

Battery Life: this is a huuuge huge win for the Nexus 4. My Gnex would last until about 6pm with about 1.5 hours of screen time while with the Nexus 4 I go until midnight on over 2 hours of screen time (I say over because I've never put it back on the charger with less than 14% so far - also I play Ingress). I think anecdotally there are phones with even better battery life (razr maxx, iphone5, htc one x) but to say that Nexus 4 is a step down from the Gnex is absolutely false.

Here are a couple of things that I do like better on the Gnex:
It is more comfortable to hold. While the Nexus 4 looks a little sexier with the straight edges and flat black glass surfaces.. the Gnex was a little thinner and a little curvier in just the right places to ensure that my hand is not straining at all in order to hold it comfortably.

Buttons were more solidly built on the Gnex. The volume and power button on the N4 seem cheaper and squeakier than the Gnex. I imagine HTC and iPhones are even better in this regard.

I say accept your new phone and use. Then if you don't like it don't send it back but instead sell it back on Ebay. In the first few weeks of the N4 being available (or rather unavailable) people were making $50-$100 of profit on extra phones they bought by mistake from the Play store.
On point 4, the writer is correct.

You can buy mSATA SSDs from many different manufacturers and they will work in any computer with a standard mSATA interface. By changing the shape of the connector, you can't use any of those drives in your Apple laptop. Only one company, OWC MacSales, has come up with a solution, but these only work with Apple laptops.
>> The real problem is that transportation hasn't improved since the 1960s.

Yes it has. Guess what? There are a lot more people and they want to travel just like you, basic supply and demand. Planes are far more advanced then they were back then.

>>That's what I care about. If this Mach-5 travel costs the same as airfare currently does, and burns a bunch of fucking hydrocarbons to get there, then I'm not impressed.

It will cost more and burn even more hydrocarbons(Of course skylon is an unrealistic satellite launch system and this article makes no sense ). Engineering problems are hard, the development work done in the 1960s is child's play to what is being done now. If things suck so much you should be happy that you will change things for everyone and make a bunch of money in the process.

>> In the US, we call exorbitantly-priced, 130-mph trains "high speed"

They are exorbitantly priced anywhere. We don't get anywhere close to that over an entire distance because existing and even proposed systems (California) won't be fully high speed lines. That isn't a question of technology just simple budget and priorities. No country in the world has replaced mid-distance travel with high speed rail. France is barely finishing out its high speed network that covers a much smaller country than ours.
They're scrapping it?! That's a damn shame.
WOW... there's a LOT of people looking for work. Are we having a breakdown in the digital world?
Yes, we are looking for English to French translators.

It is true that it is generic to say market rate, but our rates depend on the language - some are more expensive per word on average than others.

Our projects have different and shifting priorities also - we would not pay above market rates for Finnish at the moment, but might pay slightly higher (at the moment) for Russian or Greek. We have different work as well - proofreading for correctness we would pay less for, translation that involves a little creative writing we'd pay more for.
Transportation CO2 emissions make up a tiny fraction of total greenhouse gases. Water vapour is by FAR the biggest greenhouse gas.

Water vapor is the largest greenhouse gas, but it's a relatively constant contribution; it's not part of anthropogenic contributions to greenhouse gases (which is usually what people are referring to in this sort of context).

javascript can have a lot of indents with all of the closures, so ... in those cases I might set the indent spacing to 2.

I still think that it's just common good manners to keep code to 80 chars, those languages should work better to not be so verbose.

We have really tight jeans. Like really tight.
Agreed. "Business value" shouldn't be a justification for constant quick-and-dirty work; otherwise, the implication is that you don't see long term value in your business. If you always budget some portion of time for paying off technical debt or (hopefully) creating a more well-crafted solution in the first place, you can still keep your time-to-delivery reasonably short yet improve your ability to maintain pace.
Hubbub - London or Remote - Full time

Hubbub is saving independent food shops by letting people order online when they can't get to the shops themselves. We mask the complexity of ordering from lots of separate shops and allow customers to place a single order online and receive all their weekly shopping in one go. It's good for the shops because it lets them reach a wider audience, and it's good for our busy customers because it allows them to support their local community.

We're looking for two developers, who will double the size of our current team, to work on our Rails based website and supporting applications. Ruby experience is a plus, but we're very happy to take on people without direct experience if they know how to learn - our second developer hadn't written any Ruby before starting with us.

It would have taken less time to google it than to type your comment.
In response to this, here is a summary copied directly from a reputable source. [1]

Thorium is a radioactive element similar to uranium. Formerly used to make gas mantles, it is about three times as abundant in the earth’s crust as uranium. Soil commonly contains around 6 parts per million of thorium, and some minerals contain 12% thorium oxide. Seawater contains little thorium, because thorium oxide is insoluble. Thorium can be completely burned up in simple reactors (in contrast to standard uranium reactors which use only about 1% of natural uranium). Thorium is used in nuclear reactors in India. If uranium ore runs low, thorium will probably become the dominant nuclear fuel.
Thorium reactors deliver 3.6 billion kWh of heat per ton of thorium, which implies that a 1 GW reactor requires about 6 tons of thorium per year, assuming its generators are 40% efficient. Worldwide thorium re- sources are estimated to total about 6 million tons, four times more than the known reserves shown in table 24.7. As with the uranium resources, it seems plausible that these thorium resources are an underestimate, since thorium prospecting is not highly valued today. If we assume, as with ura- nium, that these resources are used up over 1000 years and shared equally among 6 billion people, we find that the “sustainable” power thus gener- ated is 4 kWh/d per person.
An alternative nuclear reactor for thorium, the “energy amplifier” or “accelerator-driven system” proposed by Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia and his colleagues would, they estimated, convert 6 million tons of thorium to 15 000 TWy of energy, or 60 kWh/d per person over 1000 years. Assuming conversion to electricity at 40% efficiency, this would deliver 24kWh/d per person for 1000 years. And the waste from the energy amplifier would be much less radioactive too. They argue that, in due course, many times more thorium would be economically extractable than the current 6 million tons. If their suggestion – 300 times more – is correct, then thorium and the energy amplifier could offer 120 kWh/d per person for 60 000 years.
