Unsigned integers will get you going till the year 2106, that could be an easy hotfix if you don't have to store datetimes before 1970.

Using 64-bit integers is overkill, they will work till the year 584bln[1] and it's twice as much data for every timestamp. Adding one byte (5-byte integers) is uncommon, but that supports the year 36000 already, so it would be more than enough.

[1] In full, till the year 584 942 419 325.

> Modula and Oberon do not vaguely look like Wirth lanugages, they are Wirth languages.

I wasn't claiming otherwise, but rather referring to Ada.

> And unlike Pascal, which was designed mainly for educational purposes, Modula and Oberon were designed for real world usage.

Guess which one caught on for real world usage and which ones mainly stayed in academia. Exactly.
There are many levels of 'secrets.' The really secret stuff never even touches a networked device and is only seen in underground meeting rooms built like vaults. Think the computer room with the touch sensitive floor in Mission Impossible.

…you may expect serious problems and GPU hangs.

Only IVB is supported right now. Actually, the code was only run on IVB GT2. You
may expect some issues with IVB GT1.

The run-time is far from being complete.

In the future there may be good news.
This announcement doesn't really seem targeted toward cheaper laptops - the parts themselves will likely cost just as much as their previous-generation counterparts, with the addition of a few "premium" options for people who want more than the standard internal graphics but less than a discrete GPU.

The market fragmentation issue is important, and unfortunately it's not clear that there is a fragment that is specifically targeted toward the budget end of the market.

Based on the website, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that less than 1% of the visitors to this site are looking for Uzi Nissan or his company. Maybe it's the giant insurance scam banner that covers more than 50% of the page that makes me think that.
What would that business model look like?
It's AMD's fusion chips that have changed my feelings about integrated graphics. Intel GPUs? Not so much.
Thanks. It makes sense for the individual to take the Google offer because it would be a wise choice unless he has a huge stake in a startup that has a high chance of success.

The level of impact is higher for a startup compare to a big company because I've spent hours in posting job ads, interviewing, preparing contracts, going back and forth in negotiation, and so on.

Take an extreme, like slaveowners. Does anyone think they were all stereotypical jerks (aside from their institutional role), or grew black mustaches to twirl?

This is a good point. A friend of mine often talks about the "good slaver problem"--there are certain cultural habits that are so entrenched that we just don't see the problem. Some people do see the problem, and leave it behind and/or fight to fix it.

not to be a debbie downer, but though I read your article, I dunno that the reason you gave (being searchable) was really worth using Evernote. A text file on your desktop could do just as well, if that were all Evernote was good for, right?

I signed up for an Evernote account years ago, but instantly got turned off by the fact that my personal notes would not be private any more. Completely unrelated to the break-in they suffered, just the fact that now, my notes, that I carefullly and meticulously take, would be on the internet somewhere. That actually didn't do it for me.

This is an interesting take on it. What are some examples of experts that are being silenced?

Usually when people criticize SEO, its over the methods used to get irrelevant links on pages, putting junk in your serps. Afaik wikipedia does well because people link to its content, not because of spam tactics.

It's all about priorities; aesthetics is very important to me.

New Release: RabbitMQ 3.1.0
I think it's cool technology. Depending on the pricing in the end, I would buy a pair to use only for recreation. I can't see myself wearing it all the time.

Where I do see a cool application is as a golf GPS. Over the past couple of years, I've been using an app on my phone for golf GPS that also tracks my score and other related stats. I think it'd be really cool to use Glass as a GPS where it shows you the distances overlayed on top of what you're looking at (eg. distance to the green, bunkers etc). And all this info updates live.

Even though I'm not overly concerned about my data, I can't see using it for anything more than as a toy.

I can see endless applications like those relating to sports. Watching baseball with a live scoreboard and stats. Weather related info for sailing.
Fact: Magyar Telekom has the worst customer service of all telecom operators in Hungary according to government funded studies, year after year. I was involved in QA for a few months on a contract basis, bc the parent company (Deutsche Telekom) is apparently freaked out by this fact. So anyway, here are some tips on how to deal with them, unfortunately you can't avoid them forever, but I haven't been in a store for years.

Going to a store should be your last resort. Use My T-Mobile/My T-Home (on their website). If you have a really special problem, call them. Also, never buy anything in a store or on the phone, unless you're very, very good at negotiating, you get 10% off of your orders automatically on the website. Customer service agents use the very same interface (with more privileges of course) but you can do pretty much anything you would want on My T-Mobile. E.g. I know for a fact (I'm also a customer) that you can disable receiving premium texts and having an Internet connection altogether. It's worth checking out every service if they're enabled or disabled at least once, so you can avoid unexpected charges and activate things that you know you might need some day. Btw, your options are very clearly described, much better than how an agent would explain them to you.

If you absolutely must see someone in person, here are some more tips. Always go to T-Pont stores, those are the official reps of the company, never go to a store with a big T-Mobile sign, those are resellers, agents there receive poor training and all they want is to sell you stuff. Don't go to a store in the late afternoon/evening hours, they have the most customers then and you have to wait more. 30 min waiting time is actually not very common, if you go any other time you either won't have to wait or only have to wait a few minutes. Also check on My T-Mobile if you're a 'gold' or 'platinum' client. If you are, always choose that on the first screen in the in-store queue ticketing system, and you'll get to someone in a few minutes even if there are loads of people in the store, bc most people don't know about this.

Yeah, it's ridiculous that you have to know all these to get a good service, but you don't have to put up with it, e.g. Telenor's customer service is pretty good, or so I've heard.
So it's not Marvels responsibility to keep people's passwords safe because,

1.) If someone was trying to get the person's information, the least of their worries is an easy password to for them to get? This may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

2.) Anyone who uses the same password for multiple accounts shouldn't do that? Yea. Saying that doesn't fix the issue. You have to tell users to use secure passwords and assume they won't. Because they won't.

3.) Because it only protects their comics from being read? That's still private property that Marvel claims to protect by requiring passwords to gain access. The fact that they treat security like it doesn't matter shouldn't be dismissed with a "so what?".
"Also, what is wrong with themes on themeforest? Many are built with great design in mind."

That's the issue with cheap templates. They are designed and built by web people with no connection to your organization. You then buy this template and shoehorn your own content, and hopefully goals into a template without ever thinking about what your site should look or work like. Templates serve a purpose at the extreme low end of the market but soon every organization should graduate to a process that does not begin with a template.

Would you use a template as the basis for your entire software project? Would you use a template for your business plan? Certainly there's a case to be made for both, but neither is ideal for anyone seeking success.

I'm aware it didn't crash the computer, it's an analogy.

Also, "sabotage is a deliberate action aimed at weakening another entity through subversion, obstruction, disruption, or destruction". Clearly not what's going on here, and it's this kind of hyperbole I'm arguing against.

Guessing the Teacher’s Password ('07)
You've really gone off the deep end now. At least you've completely contradicted your "progressive" defense earlier, and now it is transparent that you have antiquated views about very strong gender roles.

So, isn't that dishonest to laugh at me that I believe in
natural sex roles in the society when you obviously do
believe in them as well?

Seeing that I haven't stated any of my own views, other than that I find yours very distasteful, I've got a hunch we agree on very few things about this.

And you seem to be fine with that natural.

You seem to have a problem only and only when female sex is at
disadvantage.

So, isn't that dishonest to laugh at me that I believe in natural sex
roles in the society when you obviously do believe in them as well?

Don't use me as your straw man, please.

The search box goes in a top corner normally because putting it elsewhere disrupts the content layout or takes unnecessarily long to find. If there's no other content, the search box can go anywhere.

I use google chrome which translates the page well enough for me to understand.

There are too many visually distinct sections on those Dutch websites for someone who isn't familiar with the site to find anything quickly. There are non-tech-savvy folks for whom anything more complex than the manchester site, or Google's front page search box, is too complex for them to deal with. They wouldn't be able to visually scan the Dutch pages for what they want. Whether it's lack of technical familiarity, lack of attention span, or something else, I don't know. Lots of text divided up into arbitrary sections simply doesn't work well for them.

How is the manchester site lacking an overview? It has four major categories near the top, another tier of categories which expands into 20 categories with one click, and if that doesn't find what you're looking for, or you're lazy, you can type what you want into the conveniently located search box.

I agree that the manchester site be improved (most of the stuff at the bottom should be eliminated or turned into links in the top bar), but I think it's closer to ideal than the two sites you linked are.

Interesting idea, "charging fractions of cents". Usually when people talk about covering the costs, ideas like monthly subscriptions and donations are mentioned, but I haven't heard about very small automatic fees.

Then again, not all content is worth reading. It should be proportional to how long you are on the site, or you should be able to revoke it manually or something. Anyhow, an interesting idea to think about and toy with.
Another point would be to save. When you're young, it's easy to spend and not save. However, it's important to get into a disciplined habit of saving - don't depend on someone else to force you to save.

Also, while it's financially advantageous to have a two-income family, once you have kids priorities might change. The better choice may be to have a parent at home with the kid(s) instead of utilizing day-care.

You're mileage may vary.

Most commencement speakers are double outliers.

1. They're highly successful. Most people aren't.

2. The validation of an academic meritocracy where many top members (compared to anything else in society) hate the corporate world means that they're likely to be people of merit. Most highly successful people aren't.

They're great at inspiring, but they've had just too much good luck to know how the world really works and what people are actually like. You have to fail in a hard-core sort of way that most people wouldn't survive to get that understanding.
Not at first, because you look like a damn fool when you wear it, and because I don't have a handle yet on the ways it'll change my behavior.

Should they become more common and more attractive (seems likely, over time) and should there be a lot more information available about how the Glass-like genre of products affects its wearers (again, seems likely), I'll take that information into account and reconsider it.

I'm not making the mistake I made with smartphones again, where I bought one out of enthusiasm and only stopped to evaluate the cost/benefits after it had already changed the way I behave. I wouldn't take a medication that hasn't been thoroughly studied, no matter what the marketing promises - so why would I adopt a new technology?

Yes and I acknowledged this at the end of my comment I think.

I don't really think it is useful to try and use the terms ACID/BASE to refer to the aggreggate process behavior of an entire industry's technology. Not that it is wrong, it just really doesn't mean anything at that point. Most data interchange that takes place between thousands of different parties is going to have similar characteristics. Maybe a market/exchange is a good counter-example but I can't think of many others.
"Design" means two things.

To people like me and you it means "stupid things that prevent me from doing what I want. Things that are only there because someone thinks they look nice"

To good designers it means "very carefully made choices that make information easier to find; that make websites easier to use; and that have the added benefit of making things less ugly."

I say that a book is often a great example of minimal design. Designers point out that books have hundreds of years of cumulative design - the fonts have been iterated; the layout and the margins and the indents and everything has all had decades of iteration.

I get the feeling that you and parent both agree and are now talking past each other.
Is Windows even using the same font? I think Windows prioritizes making the text look sharp over getting all the character strokes in the right place. OS X and Ubuntu look very similar except for the line spacing, and the lowercase ‘a’, which looks kind of strange/vertically compressed on Ubuntu.
Well I guess I owe you a lot of money.....

I prefer commencement speeches with more of a personal touch to them, namely Steve Jobs' commencement speech at Stanford in 2005 [1]. This article definitely gives good advice but at the end of the day, it's pretty superficial. Steve Jobs tells 3 stories which beautifully take students through his life, but also give life long lessons that actually carry substance.

Sounds to me, like "the internet" (whatever this personificated entity might be) wasn't the writers real problem. Maybe he was asking the wrong questions in the first place. Maybe I am just reading too much into this. I don't know.

The strangest part was, when he wrote about is niece. Why didn't he talk to her in that year - do her parents not have a landline/mobile phone? What is the difference between the described strenuous phone-call and a skype-call?

Sorry, but I just didn't buy this part. It did not get me. His niece was right. If he would have wanted to talk to her, he would have found a way. And there are other things, I really didn't get:

If these special letters (between all the rest) would have really meant that much to him, he would have found a way to answer them.

But it just feels like, he really did not know himself before, during or after this sabattical. And he does not know himself (or his [perceived] problem) any better. Sorry to judge that hard, but this "journalistic" piece was really saddening me.

Sorry, but I take for granted the ability to be able to read some hundred pages of literature. Even Homer. Or Foucault.

Sorry, call me old fashioned, but I take for granted, that you listen when talking with someone.

And things like this.
