That was my post on Stackoverflow (acturbo). I did in fact get icons from icomoon working properly on WP8 (HTC 8x). My same web site looks the same on WP8, iPhone, Android and iPad. Let me share 2 comments: 1) i only tried icomoon, and 2) i used only 1 embedded font.

I use jqMobi, now called Intel App Framework, to build a mobile website that targets all major mobile browsers. The jqMobi framework includes ~70 icons from icomoon embedded into its ui CSS. I needed a few more, so I initially tried to extend that by making another font file called icomoon-extra, uploading it to http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp to produce the base64 string and adding another @font-face to the jqMobi CSS. That didn't work for me, so i simply created a new icomoon-ac file that includes most of the original icons from the jqMobi icomoon selection, plus another ~30 or so icons that i needed. Now, i just use my icomoon-ac font in the framework and it works.

Regarding jqMobi, I absolutely love this framework. Much like the author of the original article, i looked at a bunch of frameworks. jQuery Mobile was my initial "no brainer" choice but it quickly lost favor with me because it was very difficult to customize. They really screwed it up, IMO. I looked at wink, joApp, dhtmlx, unify, uranium, embedjs, enyo, lungo, the-m-project, mobl, barleyjs, limejs, joshfire, lavaca, xui, zepto, chocolatechip, jQT, iUI. I ended up standardizing on jqMobi because it was based on a stripped down version of jQuery and it added a very logical and flexible framework for building mobile websites.
> And Bitcoin took evangelizing, not just the work of a hermit.

I don't think it took evangelizing. Did Linux take evangelizing for it to get big? Bitcoin was something that, once properly implemented, was bound to get a lot of attention from cypherpunks. The big feat. here is actually coding it up and having it work without too many issues. As for it getting big this year (with the value of BC going really high a month back), it was just one more way to get 'rich', so people jumped on it. It has an intrinsically viral nature.

I really hate DOL stats. They have a menu of jobs, and you have to slot people into them. Often you have jobs that are halfway between 2 and you don't know which is "better", so you just pick one (e.g. I write a lof of excel macros, does that make me a programmer or an analyst? To me, it's obviously not a programmer, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's not applied universally). Also, categorizing people is often left to the discretion of the employer, and sometimes they have an incentive to lie (R&D tax credit anyone?). These stats include tech support and also capture a wide range from "Web Developers" to "Computer and Information Research Scientists".

I haven't looked at in in years, but their code tends to strive for more simplicity, to ease portability. Which usually means that they can't make the same sacrifices as FreeBSD does, especially regarding SMP and multi-care systems. But I've heard that this got a lot better in recent years and by postponing that skipped a few errors that FreeBSD made.

Also their package system (pkgsrc) is a bit different from FreeBSDs ports, and those tend to be highly subjective, regarding ease of use and the amount of software packages covered.

My info might be a bit outdated, but I think NetBSD provides the best Xen support.

True, there are more than a few grumpy Kernel hackers, there are also loads of folks willing to help out newbies. You know, like in ANY opensource project. Hell, there's a website and an awesome mailing list just for newbies!

I don't mean to imply that Yahoo is more successful than Google at acquisitions (We know that isn't the case). I just don't think Google is a good benchmark for acquisitions. I think they as good or as bad as Yahoo.

I think Yahoo's problem with acquisitions has been that they are moderately successful initially and then drift away over time. ViaWeb, GeoCities, Musicmatch Jukebox, Konfabulator, delicious and Ludicorp (of Flickr fame) come to mind. Other than Flickr, none of the others are still around, but they weren't disappointments soon after acquisition either.

Yes, good point!

Satoshi was definitely familiar with discussions of smart contracts and smart property. You can see this in the design of Bitcoin transaction scripts. While most of the opcodes were disabled in late 2012 due to security concerns, the overall design shows some incredible forethought.
What is / will drive wages down is making the process of becoming an (experienced) programmer easier, by lowering the per case work needing done and lowering the barrier to entry (compare writing C++ in 2002 to 2012), and the resources available) and that most use cases are best suited by high level dynamic languages like Python or Ruby, which have significantly less work investment to get results compared to old favorites like Java or C.

Most people don't need a tech savant. As that becomes more apparent as it becomes a game of legos putting blocks together rather than having to plastic cast mold every block yourself, I expect mean salary to drop.

I always liked the idea of nicely integrating with the environment and utilizing the features of package managers, the file system, users, and all the rest of the niceties we have at our disposal. "I don't know how to organize a bunch of things together!" seems like a silly reason to containerize every component into a separate root fs.

But on the other hand, I can imagine this work flow does have some merit, and some folks save a lot of time and energy and potential headaches just popping things in containers.

Yup, it mostly boils down to what you seek for. If you seek a complete freedom in your working hours, it might not be a fit for you, but if you seek a steady flow of work, being a member of client's team, with some regular communication involved - Toptal is an organized place to pick up some work without the bidding games happening in elance & odesk.

I'm also a member of the netwokr, picking some work there, some through my own direct contacts. Generally, 'rules of the game' are always agreed with the client, when such rules aren't a fit for both sides, no need to engage in such work, as you wouldn't in the case where you find your own clients. Some are more, some other are less flexible, just like in every other place.
Content produced by Disney and others are written with a stereotypical kid in mind.

Trust me it is a relief to not see the young generation glued to such content all day (which even they don't find engaging any more). If they find joy in building and designing something themselves, then more power to that.

> MOT has lost pretty much every court case it's been in

I think for Google to be assuming an aggressive position in the courts is just posturing. Can you imagine the reaction if Google did really go all at it, and there was a result of an injunction against sale of all iPhones? No, of course Google/MOT would not go for something like that, that makes no sense. As it stands though, MOT's patent portfolio is pretty damn good. They're in a good position for it. It was something they needed and now they have it.

From the acquirer side:

Maybe they wanted to put some excess cash to work.

Cash is important when you don't have it. But once you have it, it's a dead asset that produces no meaningful return. Excess cash is important as an option on future opportunity. Apparently, Yahoo found their opportunity.

Or, maybe they didn't want to revise EPS estimates down.

An extra $1B worth of $YHOO out in the marketplace would dilutes EPS by about 3% until the revenue starts flowing.

From the acquiree side:

Opportunity vs sure thing + choice of opportunities.

$1.1B in $YAHOO today will be worth something else tomorrow. Maybe more. Maybe less. Maybe $0. Cash is guaranteed to go down in value at the rate of inflation. But not more. And they get to decide on some other opportunity(ies) to go after.
My kids are huge Minecraft fanatics. I set them up their own server with a whitelist, and now they have over 40 of their friends on it building incredible things.

Well, no.

The file "datetimes.yaml" contains a list of serialized ISO 8601 timestamps because that's how you represent timestamps in yaml. These timestamps represent the different timestamps that bitcointalk.org gives to the posts made by the Satoshi pseudonym.

I am not implying that anyone who uses ISO 8601 might be Satoshi. Rather, I am providing you with a list of timestamps in ISO 8601 format. I am making no claims about how Satoshi tends to write timestamps (and I don't remember if I even looked at that, I think I got bored).

These timestamps can be used to determine which timezone he is a member of, or which timezone he wanted you to think he was a member of, or to compare against other email headers. For example, I would love to compare this data against a historically-accurate cypherpunk email archive. (I do not have one at the moment.)

However, he could have written some small amount of software to delay the posts he wrote to the forum, but some of them look very timely. He could also have written software to delay the times that his posts were posted, to make it sync up with the timestamps of another cypherpunk member (which would be hilarious and evil).

I think a more thorough analysis would have to look at each individual Satoshi forum post and determine whether or not it was written "probably delayed", because sometimes the delta between the post he wrote and the post he was replying to was very tiny, which would improve the chances that he was not on a delay timer (unless he spoofed all questions he replied to, which I also doubt).

You know, I was expecting to be really really sad reading that.

Like, I pictured a really nice old dude with a big white bushy beard and conductor's overalls and a blue hat crying as he had to sell off his pike to pay legal fees against some overzealous corporate lawyer, only to pass away a few weeks later from diabetes (his now-grown children laying in his coffin the one train car that escaped the lawsuit-caused liquidation of assets, a reminder of better times).

Instead, I found a tale of people being assholes to each other over copyright and patents and cybersquatting--further evidence that we should re-examine all those things.

Again, so happy to be wrong.
Unicode is a big thing in R16 and R17 where more of the system will use the unicode support we do have. Erlang modules will use utf-8 encoding and so on.

As for a built-in bstring() type, it is being discussed, but there are other things more important to get into the language, maps for instance. Erlang is rather conservative in the speed with which we add stuff to the language.

Erlang has some of the fastest I/O in a runtime. But it is not easy to use correctly. The same goes for string processing. Erlang can be blinding fast at that, but you must understand how to make it fast.
