I wouldn’t say more desirable, but definitely more accessible, especially during the times when most modern cities were founded or developed a special position among similarly sized villages and ships (either ocean-going or river boats) were the most natural means of transporting goods.

You are absolutely correct. You can also type `who` for a list of users who are currently logged in. You can even `cat /etc/passwd` for uids and home directories. That's how UNIX security works (not via obscurity). If your password's not strong enough to resist a bruteforce, change it and/or get a VPS (which, incidentally, commonly get pwned by Chinese botnets if you insist on using a weak password and don't switch to pubkey-only auth).

How can a patient -aside from a coma- EVER be incapable of deciding for himself ? Yet most often family decides ... For family, what you neglect to mention is that say "no, don't euthanize" often has a very high (monthly) cost (for the home + treatment), whereas euthanasia is free. And what happens when they say no, but don't pay ? All treatment, including very basic treatment like dialysis is stopped, leading to painful deaths.

Don't they have health insurance ? Well, yes, but the Dutch government unilaterally changed the terms of national health insurance to no longer cover any treatment that isn't likely to "significantly" extend life, on average, and measured in percentage (and not for a particular patient). Of course significantly extending life is measured as a percentage, and if you're 80 ... Basic cheap treatment like dialysis is stopped at ~69 years old. And while it is true that it's unlikely to extend a patient's life by 10% from that point, stopping that treatment will be fatal in ~48 hours in some cases, and it'll be a painful death.

This cannot be right. Buying a house surely increases your risk, because the price of your house now affects a majority of your wealth. If you didn't spend all that money taking on debt to purchase a home, you could have your assets spread across a far less risky portfolio.

That's not even counting all the risk you expose yourself to by being locked into a particular house in a particular neighborhood, such as not being able to switch jobs due to the expense of relocation.
Let's try to put this in some perspective: this is a 'new product' 'built from scratch' that has been provided at a version 1 'alpha release' level by an independent browser company based on a tried and tested rendering engine.

Like most users there are some features I will sorely miss here but I'm going to give it a try for a few days. See how things go from there.

Seems like Opera has given us a lot of innovation in the past. Most people might miss the significance of the change to Chromium for a small company like Opera. My gut feeling is that once they get over this initial bump in the road we will see a lot more existing and new features come our way (at least I will hold on to that thought!). I suspect they have much more time to focus on adding cool stuff now rather than keeping their head above water and we should all get a first-rate new browser to play with as a result.

Let's see what happens but I won't ever pass judgement on any first ever 'built from scratch' 'alpha' release of something.
The problem with being the good guys is that it's hard to win against guerilla warfare on foreign soil without being evil.

Here are some questions I have about it:

Why didn't the Allied occupation of Europe in WWI and WWII suffer from guerilla warfare? Were we more willing to accept casualties? Were we more ruthless about collective punishment? Is the culture of Europe such that Europeans don't do guerilla war? If that's the case, why did the colonists fight a guerilla war in the American Revolution, since they were culturally European?

I'm assuming the occupation of Japan went well because of the shock of being nuked and the surrender of the Emporer, if neither of those things had happened, the aftermath would have likely not turned out as smoothly for the occupiers...

I think they lost it after the big successes, and got this megalomaniac mindset that they could establish market standards at will. Their consumer segment losses due to insistence on things like minidisc or memory sticks must have been tremendous.

About speech: model correct words, but don't force corrections. So when he says "yewwow worrwy" you say "Yes! That's right! Yellow Lorry!"

Use that sing-song voice. Some people say it's annoying and stupid, but children do react to it. (Don't have the sources to hand, sorry.)

Offer him choices. Don't say "Would you like a drink?" but say "Do you want milk? Or do you want water?" to encourage him to say stuff.

If he's babbling that's good, you want to encourage any noise making.

About the other stuff: investigate "attachment parenting". Poor attachment in early life can have serious effects. You want to try to fix this.

Really, just spend time loving the child and interacting.

There are some programmes designed to help with poor behaviour. Webster-Stratton is one. It gets some criticism because of the way it's marketed.

It might be worth asking some questions on the parenting stack exchange. I seem to remember some people there did work in this area.

I don't want to dismiss the article - Xanadu remains an intriguing idea even now - but it leans heavily on the concept that market forces can create wealth equality, and the historical record of that is sketchy at best. Markets are, after all, a means, not an end.

No but social services do have the knowledge, skills and abilities and they have determined he has the mindset of a 1 year old. This is why I know he is severely behind, not just because I've decided he is severely behind.

I'm not saying he is like a lawnmower engine and I didn't mean it this way. I'm trying to find better ways on how to educate him and help him grow. This doesn't mean I'm doing so at the expense of loving him and giving him a good upbringing. In fact, it's the opposite. He isn't going to develop in the way that I'd like if he has a less than great childhood.

People do get frustrated when they see a child they love so damaged and feel powerless to do anything about it.

Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it, but a part of me feels that you have misunderstood what I meant and my intentions.
Not only that, but the only thing which it seems to have to sell itself is a hipster domain-name.
I don't fully understand what brought Sony down. They have a strong synergy between their markets (content production and consumption, for instance), and their electronic products are still high quality, well designed pieces of consumer electronics, both on the engineering side as on the product design side.

They're a company that has tried weird, new kinds of devices, like head-mounted 3D displays, tablets and ultra-portables. Sure, their attempts at these things didn't create high-volume markets, but at least it shows to me that the company is trying hard to innovate, with strong, more traditional products to back it up.

I find it a bit saddening how Sony fails to sell enough of its products.

The Haskell guys really, really need a coherent story for database access. Perl has this with DBI/DBD for example, Java with JDBC, .NET has one (or ten, depending how you count it), etc. Adding that to Platform is the single biggest thing they could do to drive adoption.
You've come a long way, baby.

I remember when WordPress first appeared. I'd deployed the b2 blogging engine a couple of times before, and anything which made b2 easier to install/use/adapt was welcome. Amongst the (many) blog systems I'd tried up to then, b2 had the lowest technical barriers but was still an exercise in frustration to get installed and configured. In those early days of blog systems each product had its own quirks, and their own belief about what a blog was and how it should work. WordPress always tried to come across as "the Writer's" blogging system; once you had it setup to your preferences, it would stay out of the way. For the most part, anyway.

WordPress was never perfect, and it's still far from it, but you have to admire any system (particularly on the web) which is still going strong after 10 years, while remaining fairly close to it's original vision and principles. It made writing on the web more accessible to a generation of users, and for all its faults that should be celebrated.
Ok, as I thought more about it, Stargus with it's halted development and non-playable state doesn't make any sense, so I removed it. Homeworld-SDL still makes sense as it's playable under Linux. I'm not going to add minetest as it makes absolutely no sense there.

Daniel Spiewak: Living in a Post-Functional World
The common strange off-waving of Firefox OS, seems to be missing the point of Firefox OS. Firefox OS cannot compete with Android and iOS, and Mozilla knows that. Instead, the intent for Firefox OS is to get the third world buying smartphones, because Firefox OS will be cheaper than its Android and iOS rivals.

I may be naïve or optimistic, but I have decent hopes in Firefox OS's ability to obtain this. And bringing the rest of the world onto smartphones, will surely be a help for Google and Apple.

Other than that, nice graphs, but I think I've seen the data before.
You meant to reply to sk5t's comment, did you not? Your explanation seems to make much more sense as a reply to that than to your parent.
> They have a strong synergy between their markets (content production and consumption, for instance),

In theory they could have a strong synergy, but as the article alludes to, they never really exploited the possibilities. Corporate infighting to maintain fiefdoms and current profits will quickly destroy any attempt to grow into new markets that require paradigm shifts.

I thought that once; then she and I broke up and I haven't seen the kid since (sadly). So it goes.

I don't, honestly, think that possible outcome is something worth dewelling on; once you start feeling like a parent, the whole 'apply love' thing is entirely unavoidable.

But please do remember that "I fully intend" may at some point make contact with a reality hostile to your intentions, and at least consider the possibility you may one day need a plan Z.

Another fine example were the Mongols. They achieved a lot with very few soldiers. They also left mountains of skulls (literally) and cities where they murdered everything (including animals) in their wake.

Suffice to say, after a while nobody wanted to fight the Mongols. The subjugated did what they were told, because anything was better than the alternative: they might keep your prettiest daughters as sex slaves (if the daughters were lucky), kill you and all other members of your family, kill your dogs, kill your cows, kill the chickens, and then burn down the entire city for kicks. Maybe they even killed the rats.

Then they'd send back a scouting party a couple days later to execute any survivors who someone escaped the first massacre.

My honours project was on the problems of tracking users visiting different websites using cookies.

The problems are numerous. I think I went through 9 revisions of the "naive protocol" (including, at one point, ditching the referer header in favour of HTTPS). Subsequently I realised that my tracking protocol was broken anyhow.

My conclusion is that there's no reliable way to track users visiting multiple websites using the standard features of HTML/JS/HTTP in the face of malicious users or publishers.

You have to fall back on traffic analysis.

Yes, I was looking through this thread for this. It's counter-intuitive, but I really believe it's best to nod and encourage any behavior that is headed in the right direction. I learned this trick from a foreign language teacher.
When you have a "user" in hands, how do you know what you can do with it? When it is an object, it is relatively easy, as the methods are bundled in the object. If you use a functional paradigm, you'll have to resort to some other mean, maybe you'll regroup user-related functions in a place (but some are mixed), or check for function accepting user_id as an argument, but these means seem less straightforward to me.
Hm. I suppose a hacky-ugly-cheapo way to do this would be to run a daemon under root which accesses a local sqlite db or whatnot (and that file is only reachable by root). When a web/whatever app needs to check a hash, it asks the daemon whether this user + this hash are valid. This could be done e.g. using unix sockets, and the daemon could do rate limiting (one attempt per two seconds for a specific user, etc). The exchange could also be encrypted using a pre-defined key, so having access to the socket wouldn't even let you sniff the exchange.

If a cracker gets access to the web app, they'll be able to monitor the exchange, but they'll need actual privilege escalation to be able to read/dump the whole hash database.
It's dangerous to choose anything someone else might choose. My favourite technique for good passwords is to think of a memorable phrase (preferably with numbers) and take the initial letter of each word.

I'm disappointed by the top comment as well, it's pretty lazy to say "100% is not possible, therefore I will not answer your question".

It's a great thing that you are doing, making a positive impact on someones life is something you don't often get a chance to do. I think you'll be surprised how quickly infants do pick things up, but everyone learns at a different rate, so don't worry if he's behind in some things, there's plenty of time to catch up.

I think one of the best things you can do is talk with him, kids pick up language really easily, and it's a great way to learn. Spend time talking more as equals than as parent/child. It's sometimes a difficult balance to get, you need to have authority at times, but at other times it's better to be a friend.

Socalising with other kids is also important. So while putting in daycare may seem like you are avoiding taking care of him, it's really important for his development that he interacts with friends his own age.

Kids (and I guess anyone) can be remarkably sensitive too, so make sure he feels safe at home and has some stability. Talk about this too as sometimes kids get thoughts in their heads that would be better talked about than left for them to dwell on.

And don't worry about things to much, everyone learns this one on the job, you seem to care a lot, so I'm sure you'll do fine. And have fun with him, kids are a great way to relax (sometimes), and also an excuse to do things you wouldn't normally do.

Asking questions like "what flavour of juice do you want?" will encourage a reply of "apple" or "orange" rather than a monosyllabic yes/no.

Being ok with whatever the closest approximation of that word you're going to get is and then repeating back the correct pronunciation (as mentioned in another comment) makes this a lot less stressful than it sounds.

If the kid's mother is the primary source of unconditional cuddles, considering becoming the primary source of respect. When I was in a similar sounding situation, the desire to be "daddy's big boy" was a powerful motivating factor for getting him to stretch his abilities.

Also, though ... the fact you care enough to have started this at all suggests that the parenting circuits have kicked in (or ... whatever you want to call it; let's just say I know the "oh shit, I appear to feel like a parent ... ok, wow, this is amazing also I AM SCARED AS HELL OF DOING IT WRONG" feeling) and that combined with a little common sense will go a LONG way.

If you've already "been told his rate of development has been remarkable since (you) became involved" ... you may be micro-optimising something that's already proceeding pretty efficiently already.
