gorog··on Software will be unpatentable in New Zealand
The European Union doesn't recognize software patents either. The world didn't collapse from that.
gorog··on Primer (film)
If you like films like Primer you will like Triangle. I clearly want to watch it again to understand every time loop. Plus there's Melissa George in the lead role, which doesn't hurt.

If you're broke, it's available on Bittorrent (I am broke). Otherwise you won't regret your purchase.

gorog··on Ask HN: Might as well start with SQL and migrate to NoSQL later
Adapting your database models to an exotic NoSQL may eventually alter your functionality. Users don't like change.
gorog··on Not April Fools: New Zealand Proposing Software Patent Ban
The EU and half of the world forbid or severely limit software patents. This is why VLC (a European team) doesn't pay for codec patents.
gorog··on Skype founders raise $165m for new fund to invest in disruptive European tech
I expected that they owned this disruptive tech and tried to fund it, but no.
gorog··on Mozilla: Stick to Your Ideals, Shun H264
And why can't other browsers integrate an Ogg codec? It would cost them nothing. The img tag supports several formats, so why should browser developers decide which video codec web companies should use? Especially if their choice is one that costs millions per year. Mozilla is right to promote the free option for us all. They should add Matroska/Dirac/Vorbis in the future, just like they support both JPEG and PNG.
