bang, you have multiprocess firefox.

a word of warning: it doesn't work so well, so i guess it's experimetal. you'll probably want to revert to false ;-)
Nice writeup! It's interesting to see the similarities between Booting to Rust and booting Go on baremetal.
PyPy 2.2 released with incremental GC
It's interesting. The address bar currently doubles as a search input, but doesn't autocomplete. The search bar does autocomplete, but won't take you to an address if you put one in it. (it takes you to a search for the address)

In my opinion, they need to think this through a bit more. Each input bar is crippled in some way (one won't autocomplete, the other won't go to addresses), and it's all driven by wanting to keep incomplete searches private (until Enter gets hit). Do users realize that the search bar in Firefox is not private, whereas the address bar is? I'm betting not. Do users expect them to be? Chrome assumes not.

In my opinion, if the privacy thing is so important, they'd still be better off having just one input with autocomplete off by default, and easily toggled to on. I doubt that users understand the current setup as "address bar is private, search bar is not".
Oh yes, we have the best sweets, and the most awesome Curry in Lahore. That is one thing we are extremely proud of. So people on Hackernews, next time you plan on taking a trip, come over to Pakistan for some of the most awesome culinary delights!
Thank you, this was helpful! I appreciate it.
You can't say something interesting like that without a link to a Go example for the rest of us to see the similarities too. :)
At least there was databinding and it worked (more or less; but binding a complete database row to a window was easy and worked well – having to hand-hold the framework in where to put values and how to write them back is quite painful in comparison).
Thanks!

I must admit we probably made a too hardcore (unbalanced) demo but we may fix this in an update.

Yeah Unity performance are not always great, specially the web plugin. But the fact that you can deploy everywhere, including console and mobile, with the same "code", is really great. Now that you say it, it reminds what Java tried to do for applications.
Why are you assuming that we can not tell the difference between smiles? There's a huge gradation of social behavior w.r.t smiles and other social cues that we use in the west. For us, raised in the culture, it is trivially easy to tell the difference between, say, the smile of a shopkeeper in greeting, the smile of an enemy, the smile of a shopkeeper after asking after your parent (they slightly know you), the smile of the mail man you speak with once a week or so, the smile of the semi-acquaintance that lives one flight up, the smile of a friend you see each day, and the smile of a best friend when reuniting after a long absence. so on. They are all different, and constitute a "meaningful way of interaction". It's just different than your way.

The sad part is as an Indian myself I know that the reality is much different. If I started calling Pakistani phones the government will probably start investigating me for being a suspected terrorist and the old gentleman from Pakistan will never get a visa so swiftly. It's perhaps true the other way around.

Even if people want to come closer the state and politics always gets in the way.

> Put it this way: money simply can't be saved without someone else spending that same money at the same time.

Oh My Glob
Doing Capitalism in the Innovation Economy by William Janeway (http://www.amazon.com/Doing-Capitalism-Innovation-Economy-Sp...) is not a history book per se, but it does contain a pretty thorough survey of bubbles and busts over the past several hundred years. It also contains a lot of history on the investment sector of the economy over the 20th century, and the rise of venture capital over the past 40 years. It's a challenging read, but very rewarding.
This is actually the thing I dislike most about getting into software development and something I want to fix.

Initially, it seems like the best approach would be to find a few well-run open source projects that would agree to mentor users in some fashion. The problem would be getting this approach to scale as the number of mentees will always be larger than the number of mentors.
Not to be pedantic but Hindi is not India's official language, it's only English. Hindi is the national language but English is still the only language for official communications including that of the government.

Not sure about Urdu's status in Pakistan though.
It might have been more helpful if you had linked to a text version:

edit:
It might also have gone over better if you had said "irrational" rather than "stupid", or perhaps "foolish". You were (if I understand right) saying that if he was unwilling to call on family for help, he was unwilling to lose face, unwilling to lose.

I believe differently. I'm sure part of it was hubris, and the shame of being homeless must sting, but I saw it more as trying to save face for his children. THEY knew he was homeless, but whenever he visited them near school of friends, he dressed in business dress so as to disguise his situation from THEIR friends. That sounded more like someone that was trying to ensure his kids have a smooth trajectory despite his own mistakes.

That said, you may still be right: it's possible that he never _asked_ for the favor of staying with a child's friend's family. (His kids were in school, I gathered, rather than adults -- did I miss that?) Had he done so, finding a job might have been easier ... though I am pessimistic enough to wonder how much, given the trouble he had once people saw the "gap" in his employment.
I've read some of Joel's posts in the past and will definitely keep this in mind.
Why You Should Adopt Agile
First of all, no one would be assigned on such a contrived detail. Even if they were, they would not likely be there for 8 hours as there are mandatory breaks. And even if they were there for 8 hours, dispatch would know they would be out on a detail at that intersection all day, and would be periodically status checked to make sure they were still alive. And finally, what in the hell would be the problem with being tracked as being exactly where they are supposed to be?!

Wow, sounds pretty incredible that they're giving out substandard prefixes, given the whole point of IPv6...

So right from the start, consumer/small business IPv6 gear won't be able to build on having more than a /64 for themselves (to subdelegate for things like home automation networks, virtualization, etc). Oh well, I guess those
things will need to support IPv6 NAT!
You for got add your RAW and Indian army, mate.
They are two totally different use cases.

Edit: I guess I should explain this a little:

Groovy: A superset* of the Java language, you can (generally) rename a .java file to get a valid .groovy file. Groovy uses the Java libraries -- a Groovy string is a Java string. A Groovy object can subclass a Java object and vice versa.

Groovy is perfect for Java developers who want a gentle learning curve for new language features and want fine-grained interaction with other existing Java (and JVM) libraries and components.

JRuby: A full* implementation of JRuby and libraries that runs on the JVM. A Ruby string is not a Java string. JRuby can call Java and vice versa, but there's some impedance mismatch because of differences in the object libraries.

JRuby is great for Ruby developers and/or people who need to run Ruby-based technologies in the JVM environment (e.g. Rails, Asciidoctor, etc.)

Most people knowledgable of both technologies would not view this as (unnecessary) fragmentation. There has also been some work on the JVM that has benefitted both languages -- most notable the InvokeDynamic byte code additions to better support dynamic languages (benefiting Groovy, JRuby, JavaScript, and others.)

* There are some corner-cases where valid Java is not valid Groovy. Similarly, there are some C-language extensions in Ruby that aren't' available in JRuby. But in both cases the exceptions are rare enough to be relegated to a footnote.
It says that it only stores metadata locally not objects themselves (although it could probably have an option for that too and serve as a general S3 cache).

Nice effort, Redis is perfectly fine but I believe that the storage layer should be somehow more separated in case someone wants another type of storage, e.g. in-memory SQLite is adequate and already installed in most systems.
Wow. There're experiences that you may think of but never really anticipate to encounter. For me it was feeling shame for buying a Kindle edition of the book. But I really want to read it and if so I need to buy it in the Kindle form.
But Valve's experiments show that Xbox controller is not the perfect ideal. Thus, there is improvements available in the range of 100M, don't you think ?

It's not a good argument .. traditional barriers to entry are never as insurmountable as they may seem at first. I doubt Jeff Bezos was concerned with the "amount of cash" needed to compete with Border's or Barnes & Noble.

The real barrier to entry is not competition from other companies, it is building a great product/service/company yourself. If it were so easy to "use S3" to start a Dropbox, why is there only one Dropbox? What's stopping anyone from "using EC2" to build another Facebook?

How exactly do you explain how Google/Apple/MS/etc became Google/Apple/MS/etc?
Perhaps, but I noticed something a little different. It seems that in these hearings, the chair has enormous influence to push the discussion in a certain direction, and even direct those opposing his views to be a lot more "neutral", instead of opposing him, if they truly do disagree with him.

I haven't watched a lot of these hearings, but I know that with SOPA, chaired by the infamous Lamar Smith, the witnesses were 5:1 pro-SOPA, and the NSA hearings, chaired by pro-NSA people, were also NSA circle-jerks.

So it seems the rule of thumb, more than anything, when you want something passed, is to get a chair that strongly supports your view - and then everything else will fall into place.

Nordic languages and Hindu-Urdu are great examples of how political language is. The reason Urdu was made a separate language was because of political reasons of the Mughals. Similarly, I believe Norwegians gave a separate legal status to Norwegian to make it distinct from Danish, as a mark of defiance to Danish colonial rule of the past.

TO be fair Hindi, even though it grew more organically was given a formal status of national language by the predominantly Northern Indian Congress government post-independence to use it as an instrument to exert central political influence on the rest of the country, rather unfairly. At the time of India's independence, there were far more Tamil and Bengali speakers (not just native) than Hindi, but the central government forced Hindi to the rest of the country which did lead to a lot of understandable backlash, primarily in the South, which is why they dare not make it the official language of the country.

I agree about with you about a replacement for redis. Maybe it's only me, but I seem to be relying too much on redis for simple things. I feel that soon enough I'll need 4 independent redis servers for my production environment.

That's of course tongue-in-cheek, but there's a degree of seriousness.
Probably you can, if you implement upload callbacks which can be passed through the success_action_redirect parameter. Not sure though.
Corporations pay $200K/hour to hear Bill Clinton speak because they can talk to him afterwards and profit from his incredible political connections.

It would also be good to to that for other countries as well, of course.

Spend when you need or really want something. Maybe the rampant consumerism associated with an inflationary currency is actually wasteful and destructive to the planet.
Yes, I think that's the gist of it. It looks like it assumes it has seen every call to the bucket it's working on though. So to start using it with an existing bucket, you'd have to warm up the Redis cache by downloading all metadata from the bucket?
Such a video would be utterly irrelevant in most cases anyway. If you're in and out to arrest someone on a warrant, the actual events of that arrest have nothing to do with the reason they're being arrested, and would almost never come up in a trial to begin with.
You are right. Related romance language (Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese and Romanian) speakers can understand most of the words.

>>When you get married, you aren't signing up to be a caretaker to a mentally unstable spouse.

If not to help each other, what else is the purpose of a marriage?

If you are healthy, and have money these days you don't need anyone. You can buy anything you want, live the way you like, and find all the companionship you need in the world. Money solves nearly all problems in the world these days, the ones it doesn't are generally the ones that you can't solve without money either.

Its only during the times of crisis you need people to stand beside you.

We might as well completely do away with the whole concept of marriage.

It's entirely possible for the system to work well at doing something people hate. Hence why the people need a voice.

Microsoft chose a scope in which to explore. Valve's style controller branches off the tree way beyond that scope, and honestly 1) we don't know how good Valve's controller is yet and 2) Valve has said their controller is aimed to meet the needs of specific groups of games.

As all these languages are from the same origin (Latin).

Similarly, although Hindi is derived from Sanskrit, over the years, due to lots of Mughal invasions, and Urdu arts, poets, a lot of Urdu words are a part of Hindi. Hence they are easily understood in either part of the border.

it could have been done for cheaper

Well sure, they could have handed the team a 360 controller and $10,000 and said "make it $10,000 better". But clearly they wanted to explore more options, many of which didn't pan out. Retrospectively calling that a bad idea simply because they didn't produce something dramatically different misses the "R" in "R&D".

> Despite the firm's aversion to rocking the proverbial boat, it still wound up with more than a few unconventional prototypes -- some of which packed built-in displays and cameras. One of the strangest versions included a cartridge for emitting smells, and another featured a built-in projector that could throw out visuals reminiscent of illumiroom. Ultimately, the wackier iterations gave way to the traditional kit that's heading to stores, as the adventurous features drained battery life too quickly or the company's "core base didn't appreciate them," according to Alam. While we wouldn't have expected the Xbox One to usher in the age of smell-o-vision, we can't help but wonder what that future would have looked smelled like.

I.e. they did not use the 100M to make tiny improvements to the 360 controller; they engineered several completely different prototypes, which will only be relevant several generations ahead, and a tiny fraction of the money went into the improvements. Even if there is never any controller remotely like these prototypes, some of the engineering knowledge gained will pay out.
A very good point.

My father always tells I will be able to understand my mom far better than he did. And my sister will be able to understand him far better than my mom did.

This happens for one simple reason. Kids think their parents marriage is perfect, because they are born into that assumption as that is all they see.

Indeed, turning the phrase around leads to what you are referring to, and makes sense; If anything, since your privileges increase, your responsibilities should as well.

The whole point of a police officer is to have individuals with extra privileges that are trusted to work for society. Without the responsibility to use these privileges as they were intended, the position has no meaning.
I don't know much about the R&D tax credit either, but for $100 million spent they really didn't change much:

[xbox one vs. 360 controller](http://assets1.ignimgs.com/2013/05/22/img6866jpg-5ea6bc_610w...)

With that said - they did invest in "smell-o-vision", having other displays, and probably a few other far-fetched technologies they haven't discussed. But $100 million is still a lot of cash if you ask me.

Policemen has meant "a member of a police force", regardless if that person is a man or woman, for ages immemorial.
