His blog is so awesome. Mosts posts are like a mini Adam Curtis documentary / narrative. Now if the embedded BBC videos only worked on my Nexus 7...

Anyone know how big the Asian demographic is in the US? Would help in guesstimating sincerity of this (vs just a play to get their vote after losing the black and hispanic groups) …

People often bungle their firewall rules because they don't know any better, but Amazon continuing to willfully fuck up TCP for all of AWS is a pretty large issue for the functioni…

I would have assumed it's declining in terms of market share (driven down by tablets/Mac/Linux) but there's a surprisingly large absolute drop coming as well: "Researchers IDC and …

Actually NT was 32-bit on Alphas. Except a later in-house experiment that never shipped.

Those LuaJIT numbers are really microbenchmarks with small working sets though, and wouldn't show the cache effects of increased memory usage.

Is your "complete system data from multiple platforms" from JS apps? Let's also not confuse "a sufficiently smart compiler..." with real-world observed performance :) BTW data layo…

Yes. It sucks to worry about your chargers when you're not going home for the night (trips or something more spontaneous). Even for a 9-5 family lifestyle, charging every night is …

As a new Nexus 7 owner my favourite tablet feature is: I can do my Android stuff without worrying about running my phone out of battery. Now if it only fit in my pocket...

I don't know if you're a rich guy planning to marry down in the social hierarchy, living in a culture where where women don't work or just a misogynist but this is generally false …

Is stuffing the cracks in Windows the right thing in the end though?

PostgreSQL does not have its own scheduler. Here's a comment at LWN that tries to correct the article a bit: http://lwn.net/Articles/518405/

> I don't think there's anything there that wasn't already known. You must be a Nokia insider then: the various generations of UI design, types devices in development (with picture…

> is it not possible to just have a python interpreter running in your game engine and only running vanilla Python code? Sure, but it means much bigger swaths of C/C++ code and you…

Yeah, the freely available Python libs may not seem polished enough. [edit: not that I have experience trying to ship multiplatform games with them] But: if you flip it around embe…

Yes

Nice to know no iOS app can help out if some day drones start strafing my country (cue arab spring etc.)

I've played around with multitouch on Ubuntu, it does work with some hardware (but not if the driver intercepts the touches and synthesizes something like scrollwheel events, that'…

No, the thought experiment didn't mention or imply SSL/TLS. Your claim also only applies to the f'd up CA bundle that browsers ship by default, it's not a property of SSL/TLS.

If you could make snuff films in a sustainable way (without disabling the actors and starting a murder investigation), they might well be made. Maybe even with willing victims. The…

The fact that you can bungle WebRTC or SSL/TLS implementation doesn't make it useless for transport security. But of course security building blocks never guarantee properties of t…

Not really, you can have good enough security without perfect technology. Cost to acquire or develop and reliably productize (and risk divulging) targeted attacks for OTR would lik…

There are still a few features that C++ lacks. If it only added a s-expression syntax and macros, and built-in logic programming support, it would be perfect!
