Have you ever worked in open space environments?

The noise is aweful, the distrubances are maximized, people walking all over the place, it is awkward when somebody comes to me and we dont have a place to talk other than right there - and thus distrub all my nearby collegues.

We have "cubes" for that, but cubes are too formal, you need almost an invite, and when you do, its too crowded inside, and then you are away from your workplace where you have all the stuff. Sure, bring your laptop, if you have one, the desk computers we have are not so easy to bring along.

Sounds like a good idea, lets stop all transactions going to any organization that might have political goals.

The proposed system still has a very weak point, the drone-controll-station and land/take off spots. The government or the MAFIAA will simply intercept the drones on takeoff/landing. Wasnt it in the USA where a law was passed a few months ago to prohibit civil drones in the air, or at least "regulate" drone-flying? Sending stuff up in the air will be a crime.

"The threat to Bitcoin is it's adoption by nefarious entities-- money laundering, paying for drugs, DDOS extortion,"

You forgot to add the most nefarious entity to that list. Government.

Because what else can I pick? Ubuntu!? Ugh.

He tried Fedora earlier, we couldnt get it to work with his wireless-networking, SELinux always getting in the way as soon as he took his laptop with him somewhere, I got tired of pushing against a wall as I was becoming his support, and then he asked what Im using, how does it work for me. So Arch it was.

ArchLinux suffers from the same problem.

I left my cousin with ArchLinux, he liked it alot, so much that he still used it 6 months later. At that time he wanted to install a new program, well, from then on he stopped using arch. Because he had to call me to help him fix his system, issuing the pacman -S programname failed, so he did pacman -Sy followed by pacman -S programname again, and this time his entire system was about to be updated, he answered yes on all questions... and suddenly his entire desktop was differnt from what it was before. All the programs get updated! He didnt want that!

This is people who think that a computer is broken if the taskbar on the desktop is accidently moved to another position by children. Of course they think they broke thier computer, and it did since their settings and gadgets on the plasma desktop stopped functioning, and some just changed. Without asking the user, just changed! That is a pure and simple WTF. Thats when I realized linux will never ever succeed on the desktop if it doesnt change fundamentally.

You would still need to maintain and manage the core distro. The packages in their would update and break the systme, you'd have lvm issues and what not.

Any way, care to give links to more on maeom/meegos architecture?

But what is the alternative to a non-distributions based gnu linux operating system?

How do you manage the 1000 packages and their libraries and dependencies? Many of them have separate runtimes which may or may not depend on the other packages runtime. How would you design an application sandbox to cover them all?

What you're saying basically is that linux is failed. At least for me, since I cant see another way to distribute and manage the massive amount of packages that sit on gnu.org.

I agree with you, and It is my opinion that the one who solves these problem is in for a lot of business-opportunities.

Google just wants the work done for them. If you can make an exploit, you can explain how it works and how to patch it. On the other hand if Google just sees an exploit in action, they have to spend time reverse-engineering it to find out how it breaks the sandbox and come up with a fix, that takes far more time than just to require the working exploit.

Its far easier to read if (!someBoolean) than if (someBoolean == false)

Ofcourse, your example probably applies to JavaScript since anything and everything can be a boolean, or not depending on the phase of the moon. In Java at least if not someBoolean is nice to read, and if (isGood) is nicer than if (isGood == true).

It needs traction and to solve the chicken-and-egg problem. There is not many documents to look at, and to make people look at all these documents you need many people to put up their documents on such a proposed web, and in a special form!

Nice commercial for Microsofts product. The "article" or blogpost or whatever it is couldnt have been done better to explain the various products offered and where to get them. Classic.

Awesome news, finally someone stands up to the blatant misuse of trust. I work in such a company where SSL mitm is a part of day-to-day development. It is disgusting that the security of SSL is broken for the sake of corporate control over its workers.

Do you hire people from other countries? To work from remote.

And here I was thinking that google stepped up its advertising games by offering something like recaptcha but for ads. No paywall, just ad-wall, an ad urging you to type the words "the product X is the best"/"X will grow your...muscles" before you can access the content.

What makes you think that he has not bought and payed for the movie Inception - to which he then bacme a rightful owner of a dvd/blueray? Having ownership of it, he is free to copy it for his own purposes, such as to make backups or to borrow it to his friend, like any other private property he has?

Its easy to ignore all the thousands of students, like me, who have improved and understood concepts I hadnt learned before in formal school. We arent really visible, its like we dont exist.

Just as I havent seen anyone improving their understanding of mathematical concepts from the mathalicious school.

Yes, the name is very important, just look at the name google, that doesnt sound so Web 2.0 at all, I mean, who can even pronounce that?

You seem to know enough about this problem to solve it given enough time.

Why doesnt facebook solve this git on huge repos problem and put out a patch for others to see? Oh, right, you want somebody else to solve the problem for you, for free!

Alpha and Omega (dub) and is the music I code by, repetitions, echos and reverb, the groove just takes you forward in your code. Example: http://grooveshark.com/s/Chantig/41T4IJ?src=5 http://grooveshark.com/s/Higher+Than+High/2JhKQT?src=5

Join.me attempts to serve me a .exe file when on my GNU/Linux computers. Useless.

join.me doesn't run on my computer, it tries to give me a useless .exe file.

This one, screenlap.com, worked out like it said it would.

Aiding in copyright infrigement, aiding is the key word. The ISPs carrying the signals and the state putting down the wire has been aiding the infrigement. The Linux servers running the torrent site and the collocation facilities are aiding in the infrigement.

Never before in Swedish justice history has this law been applied so rigorously as now. The monopoly mail-delivery system has never been trialed for aiding in spreading of illegal content such as child abuse pictures or bombs.

The messaging system has many uses, the trial did not even take this aspect up for discussion. The servers of thepiratebay where raided and with them several sites where taken down and servers where confiscated, still not returned. Some of those where owned by startup companies and completley unrelated to tpb except for sharing the same server room.

"I'd suggest a sophisticated investor would hedge with derivatives in anticipation of the substantial downside risk."

I see. I know what some of those words mean. Man, actually I dont know what the hell you are saying. Why is it that the finance sector uses a language of its own? I understand each sector has their own quirks and logisms, but finance is the worst, for something that is kind of simple. If have money, you can buy things and sell things. How come you have all these fancy words to mean what exacly?

Good bye Internet, it was nice to know you.

Yes, this is what alias is for. You want a git unstage but cant remember what it was? Alias.

Where is this GUM or better cli for git? All I see is a README file containing the same thing as the webpost. Not to be a complainer, but there may be a reason the commands are the way they are and you cant simply change them without changing the implementation, perhaps you should look at alias to solve your memory problems.

Good analogies are rarely seen as this one.

All this just goes to show that for most products there is room for improvement in UX.

For most web applications peewee will be just as nice as Djangos ORM.

Apache/Nginx, python and all those programs and emacs.

What more do you need? ;)
