1. I actually get comparable performance with the proprietary Nvidia driver in Windows and Linux. All of these systems seem to have Nvidia chipsets. If you can't even choose your driver (at the least with jockey), I wouldn't consider buying this.

2. What would stop you from installing your own OS pair? I'd think you could do it at the very least through a network boot, and probably USB.

3. As with 3, what would stop you? Even if you're stuck with Ubuntu, changing Xsessions shouldn't be a problem. The only way this should happen to be a problem is if there is no access to a shell with root privileges. And if it that's the case, almost no serious Linux user would consider buying such an un-free system.

4. With Steam an Humble now supporting Linux, there are quite a few more choices than there were just a couple of years ago, and I'm sure we'll see more in the years to come.
Egor's posts have also helped GitHub improve their security, to the extent that they're willing to listen.

I told a couple of people at GitHub that they should add a way to select which email addresses can be used for password reset. Both agreed it was a good idea, but there hasn't been any action.

If you want commits to be linked to your GitHub account, you have to add the email to your account settings page. If you add the email to your account settings page, it can be used to reset the password and gain access to the account.

Also people keep begging for Two-Factor auth, and I'll echo that. https://twitter.com/kaepora/status/307938914667220992
It's a blog post. It's his opinion.

For all I've tried VIM and Emacs I just didn't understand what the point of learning all that was for just editing text. Even when I did assembly I couldn't be bothered with anything more than gedit. The text editor really has terribly little to do with my skills as a programmer.

Also now I just used intellij for everything. Although it's terrible as javascript, absolute shit at it. Gives me thousands of terrible ctrl-space options.
This is the crucial point. For the performance specs, the X51 is somewhat overpriced, even if you take into the account usual cut of a distributor. However, given it's form factor (it's basically the size of a game console), it's actually amazingly priced.
I'm thinking of moving to Calgary - I'm currently in Saskatoon. What is a decent price for a developer in Calgary? I'm an iOS dev with 4 years experience (I've worked on about two dozen apps, and have ~10 on the store I've worked on, including 4 of my own). I know of a place that will pay at least starting 70k, it may have gone up since I last checked (I wouldn't guess more than 75). They do also offer bonuses and what not and company stake for vc created stuff, but I'm not really sure if that's a good wage or not. There aren't many places in Saskatoon doing mobile work right now, and to be honest that looks a lot more promising than stuff locally.
Great, thanks. That should sort us out. Wasn't able to find that info on the Posthaven website.
This is really interesting, but you have to remember to THINK ABOUT YOUR AUDIENCE

In this case it worked relatively well, because (probably) there is a segment of the public of the site that is more on TV than on internet, so they saw the mention on TV and then went to the PC

I doubt you can get this kind of result from a TV mention (or ad) of HN ;)
But macro is what it's called in the community.
> There are some objections to this: for example, that since each bitcoin can be infinitely divided into components, the money supply can keep growing. But that’s not related. If you have a $10 bill and I replace it with ten $1 bills, do you feel richer?

This seems to address the point to me. If the supply of dollars is constrained (liquidity trap) then deflation does NOT make people happier.

Let's not forget that they were awesomely written. The humor still holds up today.

The desire for these games is evident, between ScummVM, the indie scene (e.g. Gemini Rue) and possible comebacks of industry greats (e.g. Replay Games) there's obviously still a market for well written, beautifully crafted interactive novels of this form.

The industry switch to 3d killed off most of the adventure game makers and those efforts, but thankfully the industry is finally realizing that 2d is now just as valid a media for crafting games as is 3d.

My thoughts exactly. I don't think it's even possible to beat this by yourself, and I'm certainly the demographic that would try.
So, make it a habit of not reading trollbait articles, and seek out primary sources instead.

I have this discussion with people about Wikileaks all the time. "Assange is such an arrogant prick" "Oh? What did he say that made you think that?" "Uh, I dunno, he just seems like a prick every time I read something about him" "So you've never actually sat down and listened to him speak for more than 10 seconds?"
It does indeed seem like he was being sarcastic - https://twitter.com/ganeumann/status/320276055644590080

well you know github is a.. hub.. of user content in git repositories.
I think that no one uses because it sounds spammy. Maybe because spammers rushed to buy a lot of .info domains and stuff with trash content.
This is a good question as the answer should be self-evident -- i.e. they were just great, well-written fun games -- but it's not. As pure gaming, they weren't "great" in the classical sense. I mean, after you've finished them, you can't keep playing them over and over because there's nothing really to "play."

And story-wise...I would think that today's games should have better writing. I mean, games are a huge industry now, and so, theoretically, the writing talent should be much better (in the same way that game budgets can now bring in big name actors to do voices).

So maybe the answer doesn't lie just in the quality of the programming or writing, but in the execution and the way things just fit, despite the limitations of the genre. Hand-drawn cartoons are "limited" in their ability to depict reality, yet the Disney classics will still stand the test of time no matter how good CGI gets.

Maybe there's just something innately appealing with how adventure games, designed during the technological limitations in the LucasArts era, clicked in our brain. Limits are often good things, especially when it stretches creator and player alike to imagine things outside the boundaries.

Of course, bigger budgets/production quality don't linearly translate to "better" -- Raiders of the Lost Ark vs. Indiana Jones IV (I can't even remember the title of it) is a good example. And there's always the power of nostalgia to exaggerate how good things really were back then...

I'am certain they didn't test the versions that got merged the last two days (for example the scala version has a working db test now). So we will probably see some improvements in the next version.

EDIT: @json performance difference:

Seems to me like they tested these two versions:

Java - https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/5203...

Scala (the version with the not working db) - https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/b89f...

The scala version uses val, which ist like final in java. final enables the JVM to cache this object an run optimizations. So I suspect the object creation only happens once in the scala case, whereas in the java case on every request. I think this is happening here which results in much better performance for the scala version.

But maybe I am wrong and the difference stems only from implementation differences in the controller etc. I'm a php guy and don't know the jvm or scala very well. ;o)

Your tips certainly did line up with our process. Most of our resources were drawn from friends and colleagues who are working in the venture capital firm. In retrospect, those tips were more industry specific and funding-level specific than we had expected.

"macro" != "macro-style"
Most AAA games are so linear nowadays that I'd rather replay old adventure games than recent titles.
Grails performs better than what? Ruby and Python are programming languages while Grails is a web framework.
Yes, because an IOU can be traded after its initial creation, and due to peoples inherent desire to save (hoard) assets theres no guarantee the IOU will ever be cashed in. Inflation occurs because people learn that more IOUs can be issued then are ever cashed in.

Economies are naturally structured around this asynchronous trading structure because we want to help each other survive.
Interesting. Do we have the same situation with gold? Continuous deflation, caused by constant supply combined with increasing demand, causing its value to rise to infinity?

How is gold different?

If it will really true, Mozilla would be writing Servo in JS, not Rust. The realty is, Rust is designed for optimum performance, JS is not, and so extracting performance is significantly more complex and also more fragile in the sense that it's easier to write code that screws up the JIT.

I really with that the effort that Mozilla was putting into Rust could be combined with the effort Google is putting into Dart to design a new, from the ground up, language for the Web that combines a lot of the benefits of JS, but with more predictable performance.

It's awesome that the JITs are getting better, but they don't really solve all the warts of JS.
I mean, after you've finished them, you can't keep playing them over and over because there's nothing really to "play."

Yet people did. And still do. People read some books over and over again. People watch some movies over and over again. The same music, over and over again. And some people, the same games, over and over again.

> Everyone has access to the MIT network. There is an open guest wifi network, with a captive portal asking you to provide a name/email to register. He put a fake name (Gary Host) and a throwaway mailinator address (and was charged with wire fraud for doing so).

That's just it though, that's not correct. What you might have meant was:

Everyone starts off with access to the MIT network. It is not MIT's obligation to continue to provide network services to anyone that they have a previous contract for. And even for those with contracts, it would almost certainly include boilerplate to the effect that services will be terminated for abuse of the network.

> When JSTOR saw that one user was requesting a lot of files, they assumed a bad motive, and banned the IP address.

> After he got a new IP address, JSTOR contacted MIT about it, and they banned the MAC address from their wifi network.

So you yourself admit: aaronsw started off with access to both JSTOR and MIT networks, and was explicitly kicked off of them both.

What steps did Aaron take to ensure that he was welcome on the networks again when he later tried to connect?

I wonder most about the mindset of the people orchestrating these killings. They hint of the mindset of mercy killers; the individuals that kill people to put them out of their misery. They must think they're justified killing the animals, because it's the "ethical" thing to do.
Homelessness could be divided in to two groups -- one of necessity and one of autonomy. Separating these reasons seems to be an important start.

In general, we see the US as a place even the bottom tier of society can get by without dieing outright in the streets. We produce so much consumable garbage even the non-homeless go dumpster diving (freegans.) Cities such as Detroit are bulldozing thousands of homes that fell apart because they were simply abandoned. In this sense, the US has excess capacity.

The second issue becomes one of autonomy. Do we force the homeless out of public parks? As pointed out above a lot of homeless people have mental illness issues (arguably all long term homeless do.) Deinstitutionalization means we just don't lock people away in insane asylums anymore.

One thing I've learned from running a business is that its ok for things to be broken some of the time. What we need to be aware of is the little broken things that turn in to big broken things.

Homelessness could grow out of control. The monetary and economic growth policies governments pursue can force people out of their homes (legal and extra-legal private property) and in to urban slums. My concern is what happens when "normal" people can no longer afford the cost of living in a wide geographic region.

I am a big advocate of deflation, being driving prices lower rather than up. We recognize and expect this in technology. Indeed, that is the very basis of our growth. On the contrary, pretty much the entirety of government policies globally the past 50 years has been optimized solely around growth in annual GDP records.

These policies can create big problems as wealth from the working class is re-allocated to the business class through lower interest rates, property forfeiture for development, low bank lending standards, and outright subsidies. Ultimately they have to re-balance but the process is not pretty or enjoyable.

Why do you guys buy into this 10k hours bullshit?

The 10k hours claim is utter nonsense on the most basic level. How exactly is "one skill" defined? There is no such thing as "one skill." Every skill, field, whatever is a highly complex amalgam of countless sub-skills. How do you determine the extent of the "one skill" that you're devoting to?

Let's say you want to master 18th century history, defined as achieving a skill/knowledge level of X in that field. Does this take 10k hours? Why not 20k? Why not 5k? How can anyone assume that just because 18th century history has been defined as a particular "skill" that reaching some skill level X will take 10k hours?

If you instead choose to master early 18th century history from 1700-1730 so that you know the years 1700-1730 just as well as the 1700-1800 specialist, does it now take you only 3K hours instead of 10K?

Does any of this math make any sense at all?

Since the concept of "one skill" is utterly absurd nonsense that is completely undefinable, and the concept of "mastery" is equally undefinable and meaningless, this whole 10k meme is nothing but marketing bullshit of the kind that Gladwell mass produces in his shitty vapid books.

Gladwell is a hack of the highest order. He has never said anything meaningful. This 10k hour meme is just another marketing turd he shit out to mystify and flatter the dumb middle classes who read poppy trash like Gladwell so they can call themselves literate.

You should never put money in freicoins either. Rather you should use it for buying and selling things, and just keep enough at hand for cash-flow purposes. What we want is a frictionless medium for digital payments, with good economic properties. Bitcoin doesn't offer that.

I think .io is a much better choice than .co, because .co is easily confused with .com. .io is so completely different that it is less easily confused with .com.

Note that overstock totally rebranded their domain to o.co and found that a very large percentage of visitors were typing in o.com instead of o.co and they were losing a very significant amount of traffic.

If you think that, it's because you have latched onto the idea that Aaron was being prosecuted only for thoughtcrime, which is incorrect.

To put it quite simply, Aaron decided to gain access to networks he was quite clearly ejected from. Aaron had access to JSTOR from his own Harvard campus account, so Aaron's own actions (going so far out of his way to do so from MIT's net) indicate he thought he was doing something at least a little bit wrong.

I don't think that evading network bans by itself is necessarily a horrible offense, but I certainly don't think it's completely OK and as far as I know the law doesn't either. In fact the CFAA could apply based merely on the cost of the MIT techs' time it took to track him down, even if he never intended to copy documents.

Where intent did play a role is that it made the existing charges he could have received just for his actions more severe. But he could have wanted to donate to charity and his acts alone would have been illegal.

And, I also think they would have been morally wrong, just as I wouldn't trespass on someone's property if they asked me to leave, no matter how innocuous my purposes are otherwise.

Don't just take my word for it, even Dr. Lessig agreed with that much (that Aaron's actions could be construed as wrong): "...if what the government alleged was true — and I say “if” because I am not revealing what Aaron said to me then — then what he did was wrong. And if not legally wrong, then at least morally wrong." http://lessig.tumblr.com/post/40347463044/prosecutor-as-bull...
No. There is a one-time issuance of currency to get the money out there. Of that, 20% goes to the miners over the next 3 years, and 80% is distributed through community-vetted grant and prize proposals.

Of the demurrage however, it is perpetually destroyed and recycled through the miners.

Because, like a lot of old games which were made in a period with comparatively severe technical limitations, they made more with less. They managed to squeeze emotion out of orders of magnitude less pixels than the standard game today. And you've got to admire that.

LucasArts's adventure games in particular were brilliant examples, and I think their defining characteristic is that they never took themselves too seriously. From a guy called Guybrush Threepwood wanting to become a pirate, to time traveling kids trying to stop a mutated tentacle from taking over the world, the settings just kept getting weirder and funnier.

They had their more serious games too, like Loom which is unique in its tone and gameplay mechanics, and The Fate of Atlantis which, as far as Indiana Jones goes, beats the tripe Lucasfilm was trying to push a couple of years ago.
