Where is the irony?

Same experience here. This is why we always have more servers up than we need to. One time it took us almost a week of mailing before they replaced a broken hard drive. But they have to save money somewhere.

I'm strongly advising against cheep providers like ovh or hetzner without proper redundancy.

Seems like a sensible acqui-hire.

The only surprising thing for me is the amount of attention those small acquisitions by Yahoo get around here.

I use it all the time. Mostly for notifications, music controls and checking the time.

It's also very coworker friendly since I can have my phone on mute all the time.

Overall it's a nice toy, not a life changer.

Same here. The first 3 days were bad, but nothing special. But now, after almost a year, I'm still fighting with the desire to smoke.

In combination with external factors (like stress) I can totally see why people are returning to addiction again and again.

You're trying to shift the burden here. Consent is not opt-out it's opt-in.

Bot of your citations are totally irrelevant to the issue of power imbalance in private settings.

Not even a bit.

It's probably the new Galaxy S4 Nexus edition.

I mean, it's photoshoped, but that's what they were aiming for.

It doesn't.

You're wrong on almost every point. "Don't Be Evil" is not Google's motto, XMPP chat still works fine for my hangouts account and no, they couldn't do it without breaking the XMPP.

I just hope they'll keep XMPP running for the chat. I'll stop using it the second it'll stop working in bitlbee.

I really like Flask but I still go with Django when I need the admin.

Or to the restaurant around the corner that just happens to be on the same path.

But being in the same building doesn't mean he was already there. When I'm at work I still want a reminder for a meeting.

This is the second most upvoted comment in this thread? Wow. I had to double check I'm not reading Reddit.

Added java to the list. It's still faster then go.

My results with newer versions of gcc and go:

gcc 4.7.2 o3 0.765s

java openjdk 7 1.066s

java openjdk 6 1.118s

go 1.1b 1.653s

rust 0.6 opt 3 1.659s

go 1.0.2 2.127s

dart 0.4.4.4 2.384s

pypy PyPy 1.9.0 5.094s

pypy PyPy 2.0b 5.319s

(Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz)

Edit: Added java

Similar here, but I haven't used Google Reader for more then 2 years. After all the buzz I thought I'd give rss readers another try. (It didn't last long.)

The biggest problem A/B testing is ethical.

Every patient deserves the best medicine we can provide, so A/B testing, even though it would work in the long run, is unethical.

@Samuel_Michon

Acupunture isn't accepted into western medicine because it doesn't actually work. It performs as good as any other placebo (reduces pain, makes patients feel better).

It's getting more mainstream, but that doesn't mean it's an accepted medicine.

A review of reviews:

Plenty is a bit of a stretch.

Because it (mostly) doesn't actually work.

It looks like it works because it exposes bias in both patients and researchers.

This is why it's more effective with subjective and self reported symptoms like pain, nausea, etc.

A great short article about placebo: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/the-placebo-ef...

I'm seeing adds for cabelas.com but not for amazon.

Maybe a great number of them are people like me who haven't actively used google reader in years but are willing to give rss readers another go after reading about them non stop for the last few days.

Just a speculation.

I'm not associated with feedly or their user but I'm guessing they need those permissions for getting the rss feed url from the web page and for detecting the current active tab. Probably to display an appropriate icon.

It does sound scary but it's really hard to do anything without those permissions.

This article made me switch to Gentoo Linux.

I'm only replying to you comment because it's the top voted one.

I don't hate this decision. I probably won't upgrade as soon as it comes out, but in my opinion linux ecosystem needs competition in the display server segment.

If they screw it up there are plenty distros to choose from.

Yes, on workstations. Not on laptops.
