I kind of hope they would keep their "batteries included" philosophy. Meaning, retaining all the built-in functionality that you'd need 10+ extensions/plugins for in other browsers. For instance, you can't even change or add keyboard shortcuts in Chrome without an extension (at least, I couldn't figure out how to do it, and searching the web just pointed me to extensions).

Other features I use daily or at least weekly are: quick preferences (F12), per-site preferences, content-blocker, stylesheet switcher, paste-and-go (Chrome has this now, but not as a keyboard shortcut), go-to-parent-directory and way too many keyboard shortcuts to name here.

I'm sure I could get these features with a few choice extensions in Chrome, but I'd have to figure out which are the good ones first, and hope they play nice with eachother.

Either way, this is dark news nonetheless. I was somewhat positive about the switch to webkit/chromium but laying off this many people is bad for morale, bad for the product and of course most bad for the people that just lost their job.

Glad that you bought this up. If you have more knowledge regarding this, can you please explain how exactly the posts & nested comments are stored directly using flat files. How are concurrency issues handled?
I don't think you really make the point you're trying to, given that half the time you're waiting at traffic lights, so the rest of the time you have to be doing considerably more than 20mph to achieve that as an average. Hence waiting behind a cyclist at 15mph is slowing you down quite a bit.
Midnight in Silicon Valley: An Outsider's Perspective
$150/hr for a good developer means this thing can run for a year and still be cheaper. Any improvements or enhancements they add you basically get for "free" over that time.

Plus, I have yet to see the feature that requires coding once and never needs touching again. When I upgraded my app from Rails 2 to Rails 3, there were all sorts of 1-offs like this that I had to tweak and fiddle to get working right again. It takes well over an hour just to remember what you were thinking when you originally wrote it.
I have been yelled at by a motorist in that situation before.

Of course, they only had time to roll down their window because they flew past, honking, and then hit the red light at the end of the block, so we both had to stop and wait.
> It's this level of integrity that is needed in our public discourse concerning the complex and technically sophisticated world of today. If the NYTimes can't manage this in a simple car review, I wonder how they do with complex political and social issues.

Yeah... they don't. Except in a few long-form investigative-type pieces, where they really shine. Remember that they're putting out over 100,000 words every single day. Imagine if you were a company that had to put out just 5,000 SLOC every day without bugs, everything perfectly refactored? Puts it into perspective a bit.

Asking for that kind of integrity in journalism, or anything really, it would be great, but that's not really what the market usually supports. Just remember, that at the end of the day, the NYT is far better than most any other daily newspaper out there, and nobody's perfect. Journalists are people, these are their day jobs, not their religions.

And I don't know where you're getting "consistently fudged" from.

Cheers for that pg - now I have to explain to my boss why I was actually productive yesterday.
I am not sure what you are referring to when you say "he didnt." I am assuming you are referring to the latter half of my comment. Yes he drank the fancier wine. However when drinking it he thought he was drinking the "less fancier" wine.
It's sillier than that. Note that I said the average speed is 20mph or less; that's not the speed limit, that's the real-world speed a car will see. So they pass you, just to have you catch up to them or pass them at the next light.
I don't necessarily disagree with this. However, Stallman doesn't offer any alternatives. Cloud servies exist for a reason - people don't want to deal with overhead of managing all of that infrastructure.
I send myself an email for the same purpose and set up an alias for /dev/null. It makes keeping notes a lot easier since I have the copy in sent mail and can reply to it as needed in the future. (this approach seemed less crazy before I typed it out...)
Very bad idea. Target="_blank" should never be used due to the simple fact that it modifies the expected behaviour.
Reviewing a book is not necessarily the same as advertising it, but most reviews do not directly enable purchase of the products they review.

If a reviewer is paid by the distributor of the books or products they review and they directly contribute to the sale of the book, they're marketing the book.
The Effects of Temperature on Electric Vehicle Efficiency and Range
I'd say that no small part of the rage comes from fear. If I'm driving next to a cyclist that breaks the rules, I have to immediately become hypervigilant and pay a disproprortionate amount of attention to this cyclist and their behavior. It's my responsibility to pay that attention, though, because if I don't, I'm risking seriously injuring or even killing that person.

Humans on wheels are extremely vulnerable. Frankly, a lot of cyclist behavior I see when I'm driving involves a pretty low level of vigilance - it certainly doesn't scale with the amount of danger they're facing. I don't mean to sound overdramatic here, but if I break a driving rule like forgetting to signal, and I get rear-ended, that sucks balls for me, but there was virtually no chance of me being killed (or killing somebody), assuming a city environment. Regardless of legal implications, nobody wants that on their hands, and it's easy to see how worrying about it would get anybody heated.
What's being stolen here is revenue. i.e. money.

Money is "tangible, usually movable, and generally not consumed at the same time as it is produced."

Even if by your definition this isn't stealing, you have to admit that you are in fact circumventing the way NYT is attempting to make money for their hard work. The fact is you are stealing from the people who create the content, those maintain it online, etc. Do you intend to deprive the rightful owner of this money? Probably not, but you are still doing it even if that's not your intention.

btw, not trying to single you out, specifically. It's more of a figurative "you"

No, they absolutely should not. I can already control whether a link opens in a new tab/window. Please don't make a decision for me that is not the default.
Good points, especially the first one.

(Or did I, from my Throne of Skulls, send my T-1000 back in time to stop NaCl from being used by Apple on the first iPhone? Mwa-hah-hah!)

On Skatepark's planet it seems (a) Android (definitely a mobile platform, now the biggest one by users) has native-speed Dalvik apps; and (b) most developers write those in preference to hybrid or web-only apps.

Not so on Earth. Regarding (a), SpiderMonkey (and I'm pretty sure V8) beat Dalvik on same hardware on standard benchmarks. On (b), when last I checked over 70% of Google Play apps used embedded WebViews.

Only by reading "mobile" as "iOS" do the commenter from another planet's performance assertions even half-way hold up. The historical cause/effect claims just don't make sense (unless I do have backward time travel).

> Tesla now has a reputation as being unusually aggressive in defending its position.

For many (at least among us here), this is a positive reputation. They defended themselves immediately, directly and with hard data. I don't remember ever seeing something like this before.
The benefit of RSUs to the company is not just that they are worth more if a stock doesn't move much, but that they retain value when a stock drops. This avoids the trap where a company has a dip in value, and suddenly all of the people you were trying to keep golden handcuffs on have nothing keeping them there. So they start leaving, which causes you real problems.

The downside is exactly what you say - the potential upside on options is massively greater than RSUs.
I'm probably in the minority here, but I feel like the biggest failure in all of this wasn't Musk's response, or the incompetence of the NYT's reporter, but the "support" Broder received over the phone.

The extraordinary event in the original NYT article was that the car "died" during Broder's review. We can debate all we want about the smaller facts in the article, but if the car didn't die during the review, we probably wouldn't even be discussing the article today.

To me, the most glaring issue that came out of the article wasn't a problem with the car. It was clear to me as the reader that Broder was trying to push the mileage limits of the car. But I personally think the car would not have died if the people on the other side of the phone had simply given better advice.

At the very least, Musk should consider retraining (or replacing) the people he allows on the other side of support calls with members of the media. It's better to give inconvenient advice (i.e. "charge it a little longer just to be safe") than give advice that risks getting the driver stranded.
It is 100% not about the fact that she makes money. It's about the fact that she is soliciting people to donate under the false guise that doing so is what is keeping her 'in business'.

It's also important to note that if you blanket your site with affiliate links you ARE more likely to favorably review high % revenue items for example. Making your opinion possibly influenced by factors that your readers are not aware of.

These two factors are enough for me to consider her being pretty 'holier than though' in a lot of her statements.

Why does she think this?
It's never what you think it is. One time, I had a memory leak in a Rails app that took me TWO WEEKS to find. In the end, it came down to me putting a line of config code in the wrong section of the config file, which for some reason created a recursive loop and caused my servers to crash about once every 30 minutes. #weak

You are overstating your case. It is not ideal, but it is serviceable. It is most importantly better than what we have now. To call an indisputable improvement "very bad" pretty much strips the word "bad" of all meaning.
You don't want their money.
I think if you want the family tree, you can write a self referential(assuming post table is self referential as it should be) recursive query.

But in this case, writing a before insert/update trigger which ensure some_post.created_at < parent.created_at before setting parent.parent_id = some_post will do the trick.

Co-founder for Online Lessons Site
Hello, is anyone on the tech side interested in starting a site where users can submit video of themselves playing a sport to an instructor/professional for feedback? The site would match users with instructors/professionals, who would have the video transferred to them via a dropbox type account. The professional/instructor would then review the video and provide feedback to the user. The instructor would review the video and utilize a video editing program to show the user what they are doing wrong (dropping their elbow on their golf swing, releasing the ball too early on a jump shot, etc.). The site would provide instructors with cloud storage of the videos and a video editing program that allowed them to return the users video to them with the instructors comments inserted into the video and providing the user with feedback and drills. I would be able to provide initial funding and business/legal support. The site would allow instructors to provide lessons from the comfort of their own home and would permit users to receive low-cost lessons without traveling.
It's a shame the PS3's Cell failed so badly. As far as theoretical general purpose performance per transistor it was a great design, but was stuck in a no man's land between general purpose CPUs and GPUs, each more specialized. However, you can see some of the Cell's ideas live on in the Xeon Phi and elsewhere.
I think you are pretty much 100% wrong here. With a active user base and the cookie duration for amazon links 10% isn't necessarily far off at all.

> That's not really the job of newspapers. Newspapers are supposed to accurately and impartially report the news.

I think you just made that up. According to who?

I read newspapers with movie reviews, play reviews, comics pages, advertising, news analysis, car reviews, industry analysis, foreign affairs analysis, etc etc etc.

Newspaper reporters win Pulitzers for their original research, investigation and analysis.

God forbid if newspapers should ever merely "report the news", it would be a sad day.

C preprocessor stuff works with text and text only. That's why it's quite hard to make things elegant. Tools can work with text and anything else you can think of. So they can potentially be better.

Meanwhile on Chromium 26.0.1384.0 (build 176849) on OS X Lion everything is fine for me. The titlebar is (appropriately for the typography) messed up, but there are no tab loading issues, cpu/memory spikes, or screen corruption. The closest thing to an issue I see is that it makes using Witch's window switch dialogue a bit ugly. Contrary to the thread on jwz's journal YoruFukurou 2.77 doesn't crash or misbehave for me viewing that tweet, but behind the scenes fontd uses up a decent chunk of cpu for several seconds. Perhaps Mountain Lion has more severe bugs in CoreText?
I completely agree. Why should the admins limit the functionality when there is an existing usage that is perfectly suited for this?

The scroll wheel in my mouse can be used as a middle click to open a new tab. On some laptops with trackpads there are even gestures for middle click even if there are no buttons.

I prefer debugger; in 2 scenarios:

1) I have the code open in my text editor but not in the inspector. Rather than open it in the inspector and search around for where I need the breakpoint I can just pop it in the code and the inspector will open up where I need it.

2) Working with single page apps where breakpoints sometimes have a hard time persisting after a file changes. Nothing more frustrating than making a change and losing your breakpoints.

Australian Cyclist here.

Firstly, if I could ride to/from work without riding on roads, I would. I don't feel safe riding on the road. I don't like riding on the road, but I do it because where I live there is no other option. I have travelled to Canberra and I'm incredibly jealous of their cycling infrastructure.

Secondly, roads are paid for by fuel tax, so yes, I'm getting a free ride because my bike doesn't consume fossil fuels, only weetbix. I do own a car however, and do spend over $100aud per week on fuel (kids taxi service). So I do contribute to the infrastructure costs.

I guess I mostly agree with what the article suggests, hell, when I'm riding and another bloke on a bike rides through a red light, I think "you shouldn't be on the roads if you're unwilling to follow the road rules", it even makes me irritated. There are a vast number of cyclists who don't know the actual road rules when it comes to cycling. I thought I did until I sat down with the rule handbook and read the cycling section from start to finish, and realised I commonly broke a number of rules.

Riders who insist on cycling in the middle of the lane - irritating. I realise a cyclist needs to keep enough space for themselves, and riding right next to parked cars is scary as hell due to the fear of someone opening a car door on you (it's not pretty), but if I'm ever holding up traffic, I just pull over and wait for the cars to clear. The worst thing you could experience is having someone in a car sitting on your shoulder, so close you can feel the heat from the engine.

I've been attacked while on my bike a number of times. The most common reason that I seem to get attacked for is filtering. That is, moving up between lanes at a red light, to the front of the queue, so to the folks in cars I guess I'm a queue jumper. I've had people drive past me in their car and have a passenger open their door into me (yes while we were both moving) - the police planned to charge that guy with attempted murder, but he was driving a car with stolen license plate. However, the more I get attacked, the more I want to break the rules, how ironic!

The worst are pedestrians though, they just walk out in front of you.
Still a really bad practice, IMO

How Github Works
No one involved in the transition from Windows Mobile to Windows Phone should be satisfied, it was a complete failure. At the time Windows Mobile pretty much owned the Smart Phone market(unless you consider BB at the time smart phones, they were close to but not just IMO. No where near the freedom as WM). But over Windows Mobiles life time it completely stagnated, but even with that had a large following.

With there transition to Windows Phone they completely deserted there current user base opting for a more iphonesk ecosystem. That of restriction instead of freedom.

Ironically Android is the true successor to Windows Mobile, and in a position Microsoft can only dream of right now.
It's funny that a study from Wisconsin tries to speak about this as it's similar if not exactly the same as this case:

http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/98-1189.ZS.html

Without re-reading the case(from memory) the idea is that students didn't want to pay fees that ALL student groups would be able to make use of. ie. Students of Color paying for NeoNazi groups, etc..

The court ruled that the idea of higher education is bolstered by more extreme specificity in as many areas as possible.

Drawing a parallel to this case, I for one, could argue that having strong counterpoints helps me choose faster what side of a debate I am on. Thus, the polarization is actually a quickened education of the subject matter resulting in decision.
except it's work. and it's not that good usually because you end up manipulating Python objects anyway. It doesn't really work for anything that can't be represented as a tight semi-autonomous C code with limited connection to Python code. And then you usually can't run it on PyPy, which might or might not be an issue.
