It was R6's goal also. But it didnt accomplish the stated goal but just introduced more incompatibility into the overall Scheme ecosystem. But instead letting all implementations at least get up to R6, they now have R7 on the horizon. They afre churning standards out more quickly as implementors can implement them.

And frankly, I dont see what the point will be: R7 small is not much differrent than R5, so it is kind of pointless. R7 big is as big as common lisp, and very few implementations will have the resources and the willingness to implement it and discard their current non-standard APIs they had for years. And even if the majority of them manages to implement R7, they will finally reach the point where Common LIsp was 1994, with no added value over Common Lisp, provided of course they dont decide to obsolete R7 also and get to R8 before that.
Wait, you can ask European national intelligence agencies whether they have surveillance data on you, and expect to get back a truthful result?

How do I do this?
Thanks for that. I understand your position a lot better now.

Interesting that you chose to escape to the US. So, its not like you had negative feeling form the start, in fact, the exact opposite. The US represented not just freedom, but perhaps life for you, perhaps too your family. So, I guess it must be quite hard for you to have to re-evaluate that.

For me, the jarring thing is that for years I was able to sit here in the UK claiming some sort of moral superiority and intelligent of policy/thought. I suppose that deep down I know that was BS, but in this spying think I feel we are actually worse. To be honest, the tow post 9/11 wars were a huge dent, but this is twisting the knife as it were.
Free Market would work great if the suppliers couldn't reject people. Free Market ideas work when suppliers want to see to all possible buyers. It's grossly unfair when suppliers can pick and choose buyers based on risk profilers. Essentially, the current system is "get a serious disease, then you do not pass go".

I've seen friends get seriously dicked over because they filled out some insurance paperwork wrong. Ironically (and sadly), they would have been fine without insurance and just invested in a index fund.

I'm a huge fan of socialized medicine simply because I think it benefits everyone simply to have doctors gathering more data. All the stuff we know now is because people had crazy things happen to them (and most of them probably died), so it's in the public interest that people don't go off into the corner and die; rather, the health data is valuable (especially for the rich and upper-middle class who I presume would like to live longer).
Until those committees start selecting the committees.
Is this an interpretation of the word "unreasonable"? You're only protected against unreasonable searches and seizures, but if they deem collecting this data to be 'reasonable' then it wouldn't apply, if I'm reading it right. That said, I don't know much about the constitution (I'm from England, pip pip).

The thing is, we probably don't need hard AI yet to do some of this. Yes, it must be a dialogue system, but we have those today. We already saw the movement in this direction with Hugo Liu's concept.net work, but for some reason no one has followed up yet. We are getting to the point with speech rec/understanding technology that someone is bound to try again soon.
This is why I got my arse in gear and "got a real" job. As I age, I realize that if I was horse, then I wouldn't be betting on myself.
Health care and health care insurance approaches are not the same across the EU, but the EU does proscribe that residents of any EU (1) country insured in one country get medical treatment in any other country (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Health_Insurance_Card)

(1) as always, there are zillions of EUs to choose from. Reading the Wikipedia page, it actually isn't the real EU, but the EU plus (all?) members of the EFTA.
Same story here. There was a time during my transition to Dvorak where I kept tripping myself up if I tried to type QWERTY, but once the Dvorak layout went into muscle memory QWERTY came right back without any special effort on my part. I still have to peek, but I had to peek before I learned Dvorak too (that's why I switched to Dvorak).
Ha! That's hysterical. Fantastic.
> Why did you pay it then?

Hospitals can be rather unhospitable. They want their money, and they don't exactly hire the nicest/knowledgeable people. I routinely get collection calls for someone else based on this issue (who either had my number prior to me getting my phone OR the person gave them my number randomly), and I wouldn't invite them over for dinner.
If Ubuntu hadn't abandoned Gnome 2, I might never have switched to XMonad. So thank you, Ubuntu.

I'm also a bit surprised that the author of the article finds Mir to be a good idea. If they think a new display server is needed, they should contribute to Wayland, IMHO. Or at least fork Wayland if there would be irreconcilable differences, but as far as I can tell that's not the actual problem, they just want to do their own thing, which for a display server seems like the worst idea. Display servers are pretty fundamental low-level building blocks of a system, and for that reason one of the few that has resisted fragmentation in the Linux world. (I don't think fragmentation is bad per se, I just think it's bad for display servers.)
urlief would be a much punchier name with a valid etymology.
new terms help to aid discussion, yes?
So the people asked for something to be done without their knowledge? Uhhh.

why is the media saturated by Snowden-as-Bieber celebrity stories, and not election rigging by the IRS?

Why is it not saturated with mugshots of the people dying of starvation and thirst every minute? And why are the stories that matter, when they do get discussed, trolled with that argument? With that tool for tools, all you need is more than one issue that matters, and you can constantly bounce back and forth like a real champ.
hjkl are permanently burned into my muscle memory in their positions on the Dvorak keyboard. A few months ago, I was using ssh from a computer with a QWERTY keyboard and I did a double take when I re-discovered that they were right next to each other.
Maybe you should look at i3, which allows you arbitrarily nesting tabs and tilings. (I myself use XMonad with tabs grafted onto it, but that's mostly because as a Haskell fanboy I can't not use XMonad.)
I apologise for the wrong wording. I merely meant to say they are in the same category, i.e. collecting data on 'everyone' and only making use of it later.
EFFING SPOILER! God.. :(
I have a bunch of plugins installed, but only use ctrl-p regularly. gitgutter is also handy, but I could easily live without it.
I switched to Colemak in December last year so I'm 6/7 months in. Anecdotes and tips within.

At the same time I picked up KeyboardRemap4Macbook (not just macbooks, but osx) which has some other interesting features. One important one I use daily is using held down spacebar to enable arrow navigation by UNEI, and "return" on O. Related is the terribly named but essential PCKeyboardHack which allows one to remap the CAPSLOCK key to backspace, giving me a more accessible backspace key. I suspect this is a double edge sword though, lowering the cost of an error.

When I started with Colemak I was slow. I forced myself to write even urgent mail in it, else I wouldn't succeed. I ended up writing emails as if English were my 2nd language but after a week I was over it.

Changing my phone to Colemak was a very helpful aid. Avoid writing in Qwerty.

I also learnt for a while on a keyboard without the letters on the right keys. This screwed me up big time at first (i didn't touch type) but I pushed through. Now I work daily on a keyboard with Qwerty layout but don't give it a second thought and it just serves to mess with the minds of my colleagues.

I still have to look for numbers because I just don't type them frequently.

I haven't had a massive speed increase because my speed is limited by my ability to decide what I'm going to write which is dreadfully slow. I make fewer errors.

Going back to qwerty is relatively easy if I free my mind. I typed cowboy Qwerty with my hands flying all over the keyboard for so long that it is possible for me to call it back. I am sure this is made easier in part by the two layouts being typed in completely different styles, Colemak formally and disciplined by correctness and touch, Qwerty as an untempered and free dance of my fingers and hands.
Some more insight regarding the ATC audio: http://www.liveatc.net/forums/atcaviation-audio-clips/asiana...
Another Dvorak user here. I would compare my annoyance at switching keyboard layouts to the annoyance of switching between different physical keyboards (deep 90s style key wells to shallow laptop keys, for example). Actually, switching layouts is slightly less annoying.
The article says it's an automatic belief like attitude. I would assume it's a contraction of automatic belief.

The HUD is activated with the alt key (by default). Holding down the alt key for a while reveals the classical menu. That's what you would do to discover the options available to you.

I imagine most of the people who have sent FOIA requests are people who take their privacy seriously. Regular people don't 1) know that they can do this, 2) know the procedure for filing a request, 3) don't have time to do it, or think that they don't have enough time. Maybe a campaign could be organized to have hundreds or thousands of of regular people send requests. Get the required paperwork setup in an easy template, organize free postage for the letters, people just have to provide some basic information, sign a sheet of paper, and provide a return address. A lot more unrest would build up if the NSA refused to give information to more people, and their refusals could become big news.
Depends on the country, I suppose. But you'd likely have to be a citizen of that country to get a response. For instance, Malte Spitz sued Deutsche Telecom for his metadata.[0]

The Danish Logingsbekendtgørelse does not have that functionality, as they claim the data to be non-identifiable and requires a warrant. I do not know what the FRA rules are.

Although, honestly, I doubt the intelligence agencies would give you a truthful response. Only ministries are required to do so.

> At the same time, a new US Army base being built in Germany that is also to be used by the NSA has been approved by German authorities. Currently, a new Consolidated Intelligence center is being built in Wiesbaden.

US seems keen on recreating Stasi Germany. Didn't Obama just say something against that like a week ago in Germany? It seems there are 2 Obamas. One that says feel-good stuff in public, that he knows the public wants to hear, and the real Obama, who does the opposite.
You're right, although I wasn't so much misunderstanding, as misremembering. As so often happens, there's been a flurry of similar comments, and I mis-remembered what had been said, and hadn't re-read before commenting.

Apologies.
My core question is this: how large is the RSS market really?

I'm glad this is coming out about Brazilians. Because of all the Latin American countries who supported the Bolivian president, Brazil seemed awfully quiet. Maybe this will stir something up over there.

> America respects international law on not torturing to some debatable degree

Yes, they respect it by calling it "advanced interrogation techniques" or something like that. So they aren't doing "torture", therefore it's legal, just like "don't call it bribe, call it "campaign donations", so then it's legal, too.

A lot of stuff is handled this way in US, especially after 9/11. A lot of 1984 newspeak.

This is one of those things that I feel, in my heart, should be organized.
Doesn't the home screen look cheap enough as it is?
In short ...

Some time ago I needed a machine that lets me browse the internet, write programs, deal with email, connect with Skype, and run a small wiki. More, it needed to have roughly an A5 footprint, more-or-less 210 mm x 150 mm. The Asus Eeee running a variant of Linux fitted my needs perfectly. It has a perfectly usable keyboard, and drives almost every projector without problem.

It's still running, and has now been extensively personalized. However, upgrading the browser has repeatedly defeated me. Until recently that hasn't been a problem, most website are still usable, although sometimes (but not always!) the "mobile" version is better/more tolerant than the "desktop" version. It's only in the last few months that there are web sites that simply don't work. For them I often drop to a command line, pull the html directly, post-process with a AWK script, and read the extracted text.

Interestingly, sometimes that's faster than my desktop rendering the full page, with ads, images, and analytics slowing everything down.
Filed a pull request fixing this: https://github.com/ckknight/gorillascript/pull/101
Well, because '&' is probably not a very good choice for a concatenation operator since it has a very different meaning in most of languages. Most developers would overlook such an error.

Of course you can say that since it is defined as such, it's not a issue, but then we could say that any Javascript "Wat" behavior is also defined in the spec.
& is normally (= in C) a bitwise operator, not a string concatenation. Especially looking strange for me when it makes a string out of two numbers.

It's too bad a "Facebook Premium, no ads included Edition" will never happen due to the fact that it wouldn't make as much money as the current model with invasive ads.
So R6 is bad because it's a big departure from R5 but R7-small is bad because it doesn't change much?

The point of R7 is to make it is easy for implementation to upgrade from R5 after the controversial R6.

Ideally, most of the libraries in R7-big will be able to be written mostly in R7-small. If they are smart, they'll make a R7-big FFI library, and then every other library can be written in R7 + C.

This means an implementation would only need to implement R7-small and would get all the libraries of R7-big for free.
This is actually very good news. Now, I just need someone to organize all the merchants around me to find where I can get cash discounts.
It was introduced by third-party applications which give multiple people access to a single (or more than one) Twitter account(s). I'm not sure if it was the first to do it, but CoTweet was the earliest that I recall, it would tag tweets with ^CC (initials) based on which CoTweet user account was replying.

Since then it's become fairly standard in customer support, presumably still largely through these third-party apps, but potentially typed manually by some companies as well.
Petrobrás was a pioneer in deep sea oil extraction and obtaining whatever technologies they developed for that is a vital interest for oil dependent countries. Much like Canada spied on Embraer to further Bombardier's interests, I wouldn't be surprised to see the US doing the same. I would be surprised if they didn't.

What astonishes me is not that it's happening, but the sheer scale of the thing. I would find odd my mail being of interest, but why in hell would anyone be interested on what my mom exchanges with her friends?
"Every time I came back to Unity I grew to like the interface more"

This is telling. I empathize with the author. Here is what he is saying: I really, really want to like Unity. I'm giving it a huge benefit of the doubt, and yet I simply cannot stomach it. I am compelled to go elsewhere. It seems to be getting better but I still cannot use it.

This entire blog post reads like someone trying desperately to convince themselves something of which they don't truly believe.
The best thing I ever did
Was tell Apple, NO. Im not changing my app. (and nor will I write any more for your app store)

The next best thing I did was stop being a slave to this machine.

Why would I let Apple force me to write more code when an app has been tested to the extreme, but they have "opinions" which are not related to security or reliability, which force me to redesign a perfectly good app?

It's not about walled gardens anymore kids, no its NOT about security. Its about minimum wage kids telling you to redesign your app because those kids have an opinion. (And they are soo valid)

I have lost any respect for Apple I may have had. And although I make more than my developer fees cost, Im done with both iOS and Mac app stores.

Apple's opinions mean less than nothing to me. I make working/secure/non douchy (looking at you facebook) software at my own expense, and I dont care what Apple thinks about it.

So maybe Ill be the one stewing over it, or Ill probably just let it go, once the terrible iOS7 wrecks iOS.

But thats a side note. Im a pro, and I really dont care what Apple thinks.

I suggest you adopt the same approach.

Ditch the app store its a fucking joke.
Looks awesome, good luck!
I'm waiting for the remake/sequel of You've Got Mail in which internet retailer "Nile.com" puts Fox books out of business.
Also, did you code this by yourself? How much time did it take?
That's true; I use Awesome on my Ubuntu work machine. That said, if you're not going to use the spiffy UI, you're better off using a simpler distro, in my opinion, without all the crap that Ubuntu insists on putting on top of Debian.
"Bazaart is arguably the most fun and exciting way to create art and to share your work online with others."

I think the reason for this downward trend is the rise of ("free") web applications. There is simply less need to install local software.

Thanks Stas!
Listen, I don't know what you're using your computer for, but I have five terminal windows open. One of them is IRC, one of them is reorganizing my videos, and one of them is running mtr so that when I notice a network problem I can see how long it's been going on and where it is. These windows have nothing to do with each other. It is not beneficial for the mtr window to be lumped in with the IRC window. If I'm switching back and forth between IRC, reorganizing my videos, and my browser, I do not want to deal with mtr. I do not want to deal with the window where I was running the compiler yesterday. I am not interested in the fact that the window where I'm reading a man page is "one application", the window where I'm reading Server Fault is "another application", and the window where I'm looking at a PDF about LVM is "a third application"; I'm interested in what I'm trying to get done, not what program happens to have opened the window that I'm doing it in. If I'm switching back and forth between the LVM PDF and the pvs man page and the shell window where I'm actually running LVM commands, I do not want to have to deal with the other fifteen unrelated terminal windows I may have open. I don't want to have to think about which kind of windows I'm switching between every time I switch windows, especially on this ten-inch netbook, where I run everything fullscreen.

In short, for the way I use my computer, the Alt-`/Alt-Tab dichotomy doesn't make sense. It turns what used to be a zero-effort action — switch back to the previous window — into an error-prone action that is likely to take me to something unrelated to what I'm trying to do. And now it's a zero-effort action again, since I stopped trying to use GNOME or Unity.

How do you use your computer that this makes sense to you? I don't mean to imply that you're insane, since I recognize that people do not all use their computers the same way, but I can't imagine how you're using your computer that enforcing this dichotomy is actually helpful to you.

(Note: I do use tabbed browsing, because, sad to say, Firefox still takes five seconds to open a new window. That's seven billion clock cycles, one clock cycle for every man, woman, and child alive today.)
Was it so surprising that one of the two would win?

Don't worry about it, just bread and^W^Wgames.
When you need wizards and debuggers to formulate a question your grandmother would understand then your API is clearly broken. Regular expressions are a failure. A new interface to 'pattern matching' is long overdue. Smart young people, it's your turn!
I thought of that too. Which leads me to think that the proof status of the OP's "theorem" is less clear. You cannot exhibit a deterministic algorithm that maps every English phrase to the integer that phrase describes, unless you are prepared to accept that some phrases like "the smallest positive integer not definable in fewer than twelve words", are meaningless or illegal. (The thing is, once you exhibit such a mapping, that phrase immediately obtains an obvious meaning, and so it "should" be included in the domain, which would then lead to a contradiction... so you will be stuck with an obviously deficient mapping.)

In that case, I'm not sure if you could write a formally rigorous proof in English. You might come up with some rule to monster-bar such meta-descriptive phrases as "the smallest positive integer not definable ..."; I suspect many such rules, perhaps all of them, would rule out the meta-descriptive language needed to state the conclusion. (How do you formally define "describable" without exhibiting an algorithm that computes integers from their descriptions? Perhaps you'd be satisfied by merely constraining what "describable" could mean...) Even if there are a few such rules under which the proof is valid English, is it not kind of arbitrary which rule you choose, and kind of empty to say "I proclaim this choice to be the right one, and then my proof is valid"?
Dashed-identifiers is probably my favourite feature. I've personally defined the <leader>f chord to emit an underscore in vim just to save myself the trouble of reaching all the way for a shift and a dash.
