Well there are 2 features I really miss in Chromium (which are implemented in Opera now):
* easily Add/remove websites from the speeddial
* closing the last tab won't quit the browser (this annoyed me the most)
Yep Nokia C2-01 here.

I don't get 4 weeks (people keep phoning me still) but I'm managine 7-9 days which is better than 7-9 hours!
Seoul Transport Operation provides a public REST API including the live transit feed. Apparently this is not common?

Yes, DrRacket is the best default choice.
I agree although I can see value in a pjax style approach to get faster page reloads. As long as you preserve normal behaviour and url structure, this is usually a win-win.

EDIT - just checked and it does a moderately good job without javascript: "Your browser does not seem to support JavaScript. As a result, your viewing experience will be diminished, and you have been placed in read-only mode."

This is probably an acceptable compromise. Just to clarify - I'm not arguing that everything should work with js disabled - just that it's a good litmus test for whether a website is fairly robust with regard to normal HTTP behaviour.
Makes a lot of claims for a system so new.

Among other concerns, I expect that using hashes to address content will play havoc with uptake from a less technical audience, which is what would be required to eclipse HTTP.
Yeah I removed everything and I ended up with the same feature set as a Nokia C2-01 so I bought one.

The only two things I missed (for a bit) was:

1. Email. Turns out people don't have to be replied to instantly and they accept that after a bit.

2. Music. Turns out the C2-01 does a rather good job of this as well after I realised it and stuffed a 4Gb Micro SD in it.
The point is not that "prank calls kill people". The point is that you do not know the situation of the person you are calling and even these simple fun calls can cause an undue amount of distress or anxiety. Since the benefit is minimal the risks seem to outweigh them.
That's true, especially if the operation is not longer confined to myself I expect an impressive amount of jury-rigging could get through the documents pretty quickly. The music stuff would take a bit longer, but it can be done as well. So yeah :)
Judging from the looks of it, I won't be using it in production ever.
Yes, we Americans are far too unintelligent to understand the subtleties of the extended length Bollywood film. I'm frankly surprised that I can even find the movie theater before I get distracted by a fast food sign.

Perhaps have you considered that most long movies are complete trash and are just inefficiently telling a story that could be told much better in 2/3 or 1/2 the time?

It's a game of averages - what you're doing is watching a blackjack game and saying "why on earth didn't you double down on that 18, the next card was a 3!"

Sure there's a lot of errors in advert targeting, but they don't need 100% accuracy to see results, and on a scale from "just chuck adverts at everyone, some will be relevant" to "let's have people manually look into every user to profile them and know exactly what to target them with" there has to be a point where it's not cost-effective to make things even more accurate.
Science proceeds on the assumption that effects can be replicated. Its stated goal is to discover the principles that govern any phenomenon.

If principles govern a phenomenon, god can't. The only god allowed by science is a god with no power to affect anything in the world, or at least no more power to affect the world than a human or any other mundane creature has. The question then is why you want to apply the word "god" to that entity.

I think it's fair to hope for a more customizable Chromium, since customizability is one of the things Opera was known for. For me personally, things like a bookmarks sidebar and more flexible tab positioning would help tempt me to switch back to Opera from Firefox.
Like the author says ,it's a pretty forced explanation, but just to get more money out of them, the excel table shows how much:

> The game would be probably to provide some kind of standard or API that would make all those independant providers rally accross a common model.

This common specification already exists. It is called GTFS [1] (General Transit Feed Specification) and can be used to exchange static transit data. There is also GTFS-realtime [2], an extension to GTFS, to be used to exchange realtime transit data.

The specification was designed through a partnership of the initial Live Transit Updates partner agencies, a number of transit developers and Google. The specification was introduced and released under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license in August 2011.

Yes, sometimes I feel sad I have to read about all this cool stuff that is just "not available in your country" usually because it's a too small market or whatever. In particular transport data (and maps and even streetview) for Dublin, Ireland is very bad, which is weird given that it hosts Google's EU HQ.
I believe the buttons are correct - a signup with a modern startup web software (ie. an app) feels much less like "starting to use our software" but more like "sign up for this email campaing we're running". Signing up usually requires an email address and then results in "Greg from Blahblah-App" follow-up emails. To me it feels like many startups are truly so desparate for some users, that they will follow "best practices" and spam the hell out of anyone who will leave their email address. I am not a fan of this culture.
And I'm pointing out that the risk here isn't "person who otherwise would have lived dies", although people seem to want to treat it that way. It's "extremely fragile person, already on suicide watch, makes yet another suicide attempt". That's not a large risk, it's a small one.
As someone who was left behind with Opera 12, I have mixed feelings about this.

Thanks for this - hadn't picked up on it.
I used to have a radio show in high school. Not only did the high school let a bunch of kids broadcast basically anything they wanted to the public at large - they ALSO had a TELEPHONE hooked up, so that you could place calls, live! (They also had a 7-second delay, with a "dump button" just in case a bad word slipped out)

We used to call the Burger King customer service 800 number. Every week. We'd complain about Big Macs, and other silly things. Nothing harmful. They eventually got wise to our antics and everyone working there was told not to talk to those kids calling between 11am and 2pm on saturdays.

The 800 operator was also very useful: 800 555 1212 - a directory of all toll-free numbers. Once we just made up a 3-letter acronym, got the 800 number for it, and called them. Some guy answered. We asked him what the 3 letters stand for. "Nothing," he said. "They used to stand for something but they don't, anymore." It was a strange kind of existential conversation.

Oh yes, those were fun times.

Would you really be willing to risk the continuum by saving them?

Contributing the science is a small precision strike with somewhat predictable consequences saving people you don't know is a mixed bag it could have good consequences or it could have negative consequences and in ways you could never have predicted.

The aim of a time traveler should be to keep as low as a footprint as you can and keep it positive or another time traveler may just have to come back in time to kill your ass to prevent your recklessness.

To be fair, Erlang actually has much less syntax than any other language I've seriously used. It's just not C-like, for historical reasons. It's remarkably terse, but readable (after learning the basics), which is quite interesting.

I suggest flicking through Learn You Some Erlang[0] to understand some of it... don't skip the chapters on OTP, which is pretty much necessary to understand how an Erlang program is organised.

Why I don't worry about Being Wrong
I’m with you on this one. I’m having to use VS for a current build and it forces you down a one-way-or-the-highway approach. Sure, you can find extensions that alter how it works a bit, but I don’t have the time to learn how to write a VS extension. I’d much prefer the flexibility of a bunch of small tools, each of which works well in isolation. I find VS extremely heavy in resource utilisation.

I expect I’d be much happier if I could swap out the code editor for Sublime as a minimum, but as I’m writing a bunch of LESS code I keep on having to jump back into VS anyway to trigger a recompile.

The problem is getting the resume in the first place. Not that it excuses the theft, I'm just saying that companies that accept GitHub accounts as a substitute for working experience can be hard to find.
But that only values short-term profit which is not necessarily the best for a business. There is a problem in simplifying the value of a worker to a single number. Always.
Prove the principles. Built a n-bit marble binary adder. Then prove you can encode state using electric potential, they had glass at the time, so one creative soul can setup uber-large jar transistors. Enjoy your newfound god status.
How does it feel to get fired (lose your job) suddenly?
The laptop would be irrelevant to a large degree. You'd have seen the future and know whats possible. This would shortcut immense amounts of r&d. Sometimes just knowing that something can be done is the hardest part of figuring out how to do it.

Plus you wouldn't accidentally buy a Betamax.
Opera really went a step backwards a while back when they switched from Qt to GTK "For better compatibility with desktop environments", while DEs were themselves busy switching to Qt.

I hope they will correct that soon.
So where is the fundamental argument against monocultures? The paypal founder seems to disagree? Is it just political correctness, or is there some hard data?

In theory I am all for diversity, but I can imagine that in some endeavours it helps if you get along with the people in your team. I don't think "hiring what you know" is really that much of a mistake. I would hire my friends, for example, because I already know I get along with them.
So it is 10 years before GNU and 15 years before Linux... It is also in the era that Microsoft are convincing people that software should have copyright for the first time.

Create the open source movement in a time when there is no dominant, entrenched, competitor. Try out a timeline where an OSS operating system arrives before its commercial competitors in the late 70s.
> they seem like they have enough technical chops that said jobs would find them...

In my experience, jobs don't find you. By what mechanism do you think this would happen?
Healthy looking skin would be the correct term, I guess.

Makeup foundation plays a similar function as the melanin the skin produces. When sun exposed the amount of melanin is high and hides the small imperfections in the skin. I'm from the caribbean so during the winter, when the sun is less visible, my melanin levels drop. Parts of my skin look ashen and spotty since they have less pigment then other area.

Come summertime I seriously look 10 years younger.

Some people go too far and seriously distress their skin, producing wrinkles, premature aging, and increased chances of cancer.

Interesting... I would also like to add that even if you're in a state of flow you are still more likely than not working on the wrong thing/problem or taking the wrong approach. Prolonged flow without any reflection on what you're doing will likely take you very far down a path to nowhere. I've observed this in myself many times.
Starsea sounded shit.
So what blogs would a modern programmer read? I learned a lot from Joel, and I am not really aware of any blog that compares.

I don't get why it is supposedly a bad thing to judge people by their preferences, either. Why shouldn't I prefer to mingle with people who like the same things as I do? By definition, I probably wouldn't like the things those other people like, which would make for awkward dinner conversations and so on (what if they cherish Michael Bolton????). It's good to sometimes leave the filter bubble, but maybe hiring (where you will be stuck with somebody for years) is not the right place for it.
Generally speaking, no. The cookie pools of users to retarget will be stored not by the merchant but a third party (either the company serving the ads, or a middle man). When a user gets tagged they'll stay in the pool of people to re-target either until their expiration date is hit, or until they are removed. So the merchant would have to notify (automatically) that a user should be removed, not just chose to stop bidding on that user.
I was thinking you'd be able to MacGyver solutions for common problems if you went back to that time, although then I found out that in Greece (or Rome, wherever) they had steam engines that opened gates and the like, so they were more advanced than was commonly thought. (I forgot the name, but the steam engine was a copper ball with exhausts on two sides; boil water in the ball, steam comes out the exhausts and causes a turning motion)
Building Science: On the architecture of modern science
This is a classical example of a Prisoner's Dilemma [0]
The conclusions drawn by the author don't seem to consider the fact that if Ebay doesn't buy ads next to it's own name, Amazon would. As with a Prisoner's Dilemma situation, if all parties(In this case companies with substantial recognition and brand loyalty) stop buying ads, they would stand to make the maximum profit. However, this opens them up to the possibility of losing clicks to a 'cheating' competitor, thus driving them into essentially an 'ad war'.

I'd have to say the Discourse project (http://discourse.org) provides a fantastic counter example to this. It shows what can be achieved when SPAs embrace the URL and a lot of thought is put into how the modern browser features can be used to improve the user experience rather than just jumping on the bandwagon.

Example forums:

Well, sort of. It's funny because it really proves the headline right. Slate are trying to get you to sign up for their subscription package because I guess the ads aren't entirely cutting the mustard money-wise ;-)

If I travelled back in time with a laptop, loaded with the development environment of my choice, and nothing else besides.

Well, you could make things quicker but you'd still be limited by the hardware of the time. The big thing would just be being in before certain things were made - so as to fix the problems with them before they became as entrenched as they are now. The internet with decent routing, always on encryption.... Public private key distribution built into the browser. Email that's not a horrible cludge protocall - that sort of thing.
Indeed. And this is a particular problem in tech and the valley especially. In many other industries and other locations is perfectly acceptable to just run a business. Make stuff that people want and get on with your lives. But in an SV startup you exist in this bizarre world where if you're not changing the world with engineers who are the best of the best of the best then you're somehow fucking up. They don't actually hire the top 1% (or even 10%) of engineers but they create an elaborate kabuki dance which gives them plausible rationalizability that they do.

The downside is more than just passing up good engineers though. Lots and lots of research has shown that more diverse teams come up with superior and more robust solutions to problems. When everyone thinks the same way about a problem they come up with the same solutions, but this just exacerbates the problems of satisficing. When there's diversity and a true interchange of ideas combined with robust intellectual skepticism and criticism innovation is enhanced and it's easier to break out of the local minima trap.
Everything he said is simple truth. Your comment is the equivalent of, "Lalala I can't hear you." You can do better than argument by assertion.
It would still be too modern for 1975. IIRC most winmodems in laptops dropped a bunch of ancient standards. If you can find the spec sheet it will probably show 9600bps as the lowest negotiable rate. In '75, 300bps was probably the max.

You'd have better luck using the soundcard than the RJ11 jack.
Indeed, 1975 means I would be the first person to think of the idea of Polymerase Chain Reaction! That is Nobel Prize stuff, and even if I don't remember the exact details the idea itself would be genius. That's just one thing I thought of. Undoubtedly lots more.

If you brought back Wikipedia and related research papers about all major technological advances, it'd be so boring for researchers that most of them would probably get depressed and leave their profession.

Are you seriously suggesting that we should continue to talk about it even if we know talking about it increases the number of women raped? To make you feel better?

I've never understood this attitude:

"What you are doing is costly and has been shown to be useless/counterproductive."

"But we have to do SOMETHING."

Besides, the author was not saying we shouldn't talk about the problem, just that this one particular way of talking about it worsens the problem.
A lot of Python libraries contain "Py", are named after snakes, or are references to Monty Python, and that's certainly a mainstream language.

Codeschool Down
First of all, there's no such thing as right anarchism - if you by that means the so called, in america, libertarianism a.k.a anarco-capitalism - Anarchism is a path of Socialism. Private-property is against the most fundamental ideas of anarchism. This revisionism winds me up to no end.

And no, simple argumentations doesn't require a complex response. Often that's just a bad excuse to cloud responses in a viel of complexity which requires more energy to interpret and reply to.

A perfect example of this overcomplexification is this point regarding food produced by others and the indirect coercion of todays society of the propertyless. Either that or you're just missing the point - fair enough in that case. It's very plain to see and understand, I think, that a person today without property (or capital) is indirectly forced to rent out his or her labor, to try to overcomplexify this by ancap philosophical nonsense is just dishonest. The produced food isn't even the issue here, it's the politically decided and upheld privilege of private-property and in the end the ownership of the means of production. A proper non-forced choice would require that the person has enough land to be self-sufficent or enough capital to study or work for oneself.

I would also advise you to read and understand the distinction between private-property and posessions that anarchism makes.
