Have the IETF actually chosen VP8 as the/a mandatory to implement video codec for RTCWeb yet?

The same people that shot it down as a standard web codec have been recycling the same FUD for this debate. The last I recall was Google sending this rather mysterious email the day before the decision was supposed to be taken:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rtcweb/current/msg05698...

"Google understands that concerns have been raised within the IETF RTCWEB WG in regards to VP8 IPR. We endeavored to properly address these concerns in time for this IETF meeting but did not meet the deadline.

We hereby commit to addressing this by the next IETF meeting in Orlando. Our proposal will address prevalent IPR issues.

Google believes strongly that the VP8 codec is the best technical option for a mandatory to implement codec.

We therefore kindly ask to postpone this decision and hope the workgoup will take this opportunity to make progress on other vital topics."
Very cool idea. It would probably be 100x more useful if it was easy to sync with other address books, I think I agree with you there. Perhaps this should be a priority. And any help you can give would be most welcome.

I think the reason I didn't find starting a new address book from scratch to be a problem for my own "itch" is that the previous non-existence of a CLI address book had always prevented me from building up any decent amount of data in any other place!

Timothy Geithner really screwed Ireland. He was probably under a lot of pressure to maintain the illusion that banking debt was more secure than it actually was in that time period (along with his colleagues in the ECB), but it was still no excuse for the Irish Government to bow to the external pressure. My generation will be paying for this mistake for decades. The correct move was to "do an Iceland" and wipe out the unsustainable bank debt.

Fantastic! I've been trying out PyCharm and really loving it. I'm used to programming in nice cozy Windows IDEs, so this is making picking up Python a lot easier for me than using vi or Sublime.
It seems like a horrible mangling of syntax. I don't see why you wouldn't simply say "...another whole year of experience..."
As I understood it a personal license is just a named license (you can still use it commercially).
"All [names] suck. This one just sucks less" [0]

I guess at some point one intellectually reaches a no-return state where due to some Dunning-Kruger corollary you find everything you do sucks to various degrees.

It follows that "it's brilliant" is much less impacting than "it doesn't suck" since the former, while authentic, may feel shallower in the reasoning that led to it.

Can someone chime in with how Pycharm compares to Komodo Edit - or maybe just if you've had a positive/negative experience with Pycharm?

I'm starting to get a little frustrated with Komodo, and I remember liking a very brief Pycharm demo I tried a few years back, but I'd love to hear an HNer's opinion if you happen to use it day to day.

It seemed to have a pretty good reputation back then, but one of the concerns I had was hearing something on HN about it occasionally "optimizing" or making modifications to your code unilaterally.

Thanks in advance.
"Could someone help me out why this Middlebrow Dismissive Comment has been voted up?"

Because is it a view obviously shared by a lot of the smart people in HN.

"It contains no information, takes no position, and merely lobs cynical derision at everyone."

It contains information: That people in the economics field had been corrupted by politics and financial interest, witch is absolutely true.

Money mainly from financial elites goes to fund elite Universities in the US, and so most Ph. D need to think in a certain way for getting their position, the people that control central banks need to lie and deceive every single day, and even the Nobel price of Economics is a farce, created by central banks in order to influence people into believing their propaganda economics is scientific.

Look at the "memorial" in the name. It is not a real Nobel price as so many real scientist Nobel price winners have complained about.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Memorial_Prize_in_Economi...

I know quite a few good economists, but none of them are in great positions of power. If they are they act like really stupid ones(because they have to, if they know something is going to lose value they can't talk about it), so people that believe in them and lose most of their savings are angry at them, what is completely understandable.

5 Key Lessons Tim Cook Learned in 2012
Scientific Punch-Up Over Idea That Fighting Shaped Our Hands
If you fall deep you have a long way back up. It's worth nothing that Ireland still out-performed Iceland over the past 10 years.
> Ireland really could have chosen to let some banks fail.

And the funny thing is the Irish Government still could wipe out the bank bondholders (with no repercussions apart from a ding to our credit rating for a few years).

The real issue is they lack the political will to look bad to the EC, ECB and Merkel. It's a fucking joke. The Irish taxpayer will be paying for this disaster for decades. If we didn't have the sovereign debt burden, the country would be doing pretty ok, as exports in Ireland are doing reasonably well given the anemic global economy.

Speaking as someone who has to use it everyday, the horrible UI is the least of its problems.
I think not; from what I've seen, just moving to another company unfortunately makes you suddenly worth more.

I've seen that first hand with more than a couple of friends: people who remained in the same company saw a much less significant raise over time (10 years) than people who changed 2 or 3 times of company in the same timespan.

This is unfortunate but it seems to be a fairly common pattern (at least here in France), including getting much higher offers from companies which you left one year ago partly because you could not get raises.
Nice - and not just for us CLI buffs. This would make a very good backend for a GUI address book application.
From the documentation:

Personal licenses are not available to companies in any way or form. Transfer of personal licenses to any third party and/or reimbursement for personal license purchase by a company are prohibited by the Personal License Agreement.

So not sure what to make of that exactly... Individuals can buy it and use it commercially but companies can't? Even if you're a contractor working in your spare time, you are likely to be registered as a limited company.
"By that reasoning, if you have one package on your system that's not managed by the package manager, you should discard the package manager entirely."

No?

Something like "I want to play TF2, so I should update Steam and TF2" is a reasonably common thing and it makes sense to want one thing to handle both of them.

"You should discard the package manager entirely" does not follow from that.
i have a personal licence and use it for work. no-one has sued me. it's my ide. i bought it. i use it. that is how i expect things to work.

surely the commercial licence is for when a company is buying it, and expects to have N programmers, who are replaceable, using it at any one time. that's a completely different use case.

the only frustrating thing is that if you have multiple machines (say a desktop and a laptop) and switch between them (eg working one project on the laptop in living room; leaving the ide open for another project in the office) then it complains. you can fix this by blocking some firewall port (bonjour iirc). oh, that and the complete LACK OF SUPPORT FOR C / C++... in intellij idea.

App Store Optimization Heats Up: Appnique Debuts..
Same stats roughly, 9.5% IE7. Client's are asking for IE7 support as base level (they normally don't ask for IE6 when I say +50% cost). I suspect next year will start the "death to IE7" campaign. Hopefully.

We also have 1.67% IE6 users who haven't take the hint, my banner and the fact it's totally broken doesn't deter them.

This is a public facing website, although we did investigate the IE7 users and found alot come from public/government networks. They strangely browse the site at work then buy at home (IE8+/Firefox/Chrome) which is frustrating as they won't buy if the site doesn't work in IE7...
Why not go freelance? Or - a bit better - take medium-term contracts? That way you get to dive into things long enough to enjoy them, learn something new and (just as importantly, IMO) contribute something meaningful to the company you're at, then you move on as part of the agreed plan.

While that is effectively what you've been doing for the past three years, it'll come with a different mindset that might mean you're happier. (I'm assuming "help me" means you're not happy). For me, that's certainly one factor in why I prefer being an independent dev - but at the same time, I also get to enjoy working on good projects with great people for a run of time.

(Of course, being independent is for everyone, and has downsides, too)
It was a good effort from Google but just too late to win that particular battle.

They needed H.264 for mobile, just like Firefox OS because Apple had already made that the de-facto standard. They obviously came to the same conclusion as Mozilla, but being corporation rather than a charity they had less reason to be forthcoming about the fact that they'd failed to achieve their aim.

But Google and Mozilla are both key to the future of royalty-free codecs with Opus, VP9, WebRTC etc. particularly via the coming global dominance of Android so I don't really see where the benefit of pointing fingers and finding traitors is, there's plenty of villains on the opposing side if you want someone to be angry at.
Agreed, and this shouldn't be too difficult to do either.

The Irish Government retains the power to unilaterally renege on our bank debt. They lack the political balls to do the right thing- the phrase used by chicken shit Irish politicians and Eurocrats is "the bomb won't go off in Frankfurt, it'll go off in Dublin".

The European Commission, the European Central Bank, Angela Merkel, and amazingly, US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner have all leaned on Ireland to keep this bullshit charade of paying back all this bank debt.

The IMF and the UK Chancellor are the only external parties who've said there's too much austerity in Ireland and paying off this massive debt pile is not right.

Ctrl+F my username, I've posted links elsewhere to back this up.
The big thing for me is stuff like good code completion. I import a library and can just type "objectname." and then it tells me all the properties and methods of the object. I don't know if there are any plugins for Vim to make that work, but in Pycharm it works very well straight out of the box.
I have used PyCharm daily since its early versions and have been mostly happy with it. When I think about it, it's actually the first IDE for any language I've kept using for longer than a couple of weeks. The best features for me include code navigation, run/test/debug, refactoring, inspections, keyboard-friendliness. It's also got a decent editor and built-in support for Sass and CoffeeScript. Btw, they also provide a free licence for open source development.

You don't need to update Steam to play TF2 any more than you need to update Gnome to play TF2. By your reasoning, if you should need to update Steam to play TF2, and therefore need to keep Steam out of the package manager, you should also update Gnome, and therefore keep it out of the package manager, as well as the kernel, and pretty much every other package, just to play TF2.

Ergo, "you should discard the package manager entirely".

Steam is separate from the games, it's just an installer. You can play (and update) the games without the installer, therefore at least Steam should be a managed package.
No, but the personal license is now actually cheaper than the academic license (at least for IDEA), so you're actually better off. Pretty sure the academic license is no longer valid as soon as you finish school.
Do you have evidence that there is not a profound performance difference between virtual and non-virtual methods? Virtual methods require two memory lookups (the vtable address, then the function address) and hence often two cache misses, compared to non-virtual methods which can be static addresses. If you've got a (common in games) loop like:

for ( ..some list of 5000 objects.. ) {
object.update();
}

Then those cache misses will add up. That is my experience anyway, though I'll don't have statistics to back it up
It seems they got HNned / slashdotted / reddited (?) pretty quickly. Here's to hoping they can get it back up soon - I postponed buying a license because I didn't have enough money on my paypal account last time.

It depends where they are. Some games uses asserts at a very low level to check things like ensuring that vectors or matrices are valid (to some expected properties) after every calculation. This is very useful for bug fixing, but means you suddenly have asserts in the most performance intensive of inner loops.

Now those particular asserts aren't often turned on the default debug build, but turning them on will have a significant effect on performance.
One pitfall of open source is that it's sometimes made by people smarter than its users for people smarter than its users.

Why Nate Silver is Not Just Wrong, but Maliciously Wrong
There's abook[1], but yours seems different in design. (Main difference at a glance: Yours doesn't work on captured interface. So in that sense, yours is more Unixy.) One nice thing about abook is that it integrates nicely with mutt (which I see someone has already asked you about and you're working on).

One thing that might be nice would be an abook to ppl exporter. abook saves its information in a flat file at ~/.abook/addressbook with items like the following:

# abook addressbook file

[format]
program=abook
version=0.5.6

name=Someone Somewhere
email=someone.somewhere@gmail.com

He's not saying they must conform with these ambiguous rules. But if they don't, it's fair to be contemptuous of them. There is nothing at all unusual about this, there are lots of actions that won't get you in jail but will get you punished in various social manners.

Social pressure can later be codified into a legal solution, but in some cases the rules are necessarily ambiguous and resist codification, in which case social pressure is the next best thing.

Put simply, you are outright lying.

Advocates of Keynesian spending advocate its usage for public goods and commons goods, the two known categories where "the government" is clearly more efficient than markets.

Does that mean no decisions remain in the realm of politics and everything turns into a technocratic utopia run by Economics majors? No. But that's because in any case there is no such thing as an apolitical economic policy of any kind. All of it, right down the property laws themselves, is political.

In fact, it's generally the very core of politics.
The commercial license is the basic licensing model and it has the same functionality as a personal or an academic licenses. JetBrains offers discounted personal models to support private individuals. It is only the following exception, which allows you to buy a discounted personal license model: If you have to pay it out of your own pocket, you are not getting reimbursed for buying it and you do not use any company detail (company name, company address, company VAT ID) during the purchasing process.

Pricing doesn't look like an issue. The hosting thing, for me, would remain an issue no matter how many large companies you sign up - A large enough company could presumably negotiate special concessions. And if not: Large companies make risky decisions too, and can often better afford to engineer their way out of a problem (such as your company failing) better than smaller companies.

If I were to consider using this for something important, my first order of business would be to establish how I could ensure I could remove my dependency on you in the case of problems. The more perceived effort that would require, the less chance I'd go ahead.

Nothing specific to you here - that's how I'd approach building a service around running on e.g. AWS too, or making use of any proprietary API.
