For anyone else who is playing with this in OS X Mavericks, I've written a blog post describing how to get things working on it (there are a couple steps that need to be tweaked.) …

I'd give it at least 3 months and really try to assess whether the discomfort was due to the job being a sucky situation or me being challenging/experiencing natural discomfort aft…

I think this is a great example of how well-studied algorithms crop up in (potentially) unexpected places, i.e. convex hull. Often in day-to-day work algorithms aren't immediately …

There was a definite style to a lot of e.g. game music on the amiga that made it feel quite unique both at the time and since, and listening to this reminds me of that style. 'the …

I think it's worth exploring non-standard means of establishing networks no matter how ostensibly silly as they can come in extremely useful when e.g. governments try to restrict i…

Actually - "This smells a bit like linkbait to me" I don't think that quite qualifies as personally accusing you of intentionally posting linkbait to HN. There are plenty of articl…

This smells a bit like linkbait to me (and amusingly similar to some of the items in the 4chan parody not so long ago.) I think this would be better as a blacklist. I definitely do…

> But that is mostly a problem because incremental compiling in C++ is difficult for well-known reasons. Incremental compiling is well-supported in many other languages (e.g. Java)…

Absolutely, I should have said 'build' rather than 'compile'. It's both compilation and linking.

Wow. I'm really impressed with that. I'm looking at >1hr on a mid-2012 Macbook Pro Retina for Chromium.

Wow, that's quite something. I really feel the tech around batteries needs particular focus, as the one thing computing technology seems to lag on is battery life - I dream of a ti…

I'm trying to contribute to the Chromium project and believe me, when you're waiting over an hour to compile 1 day's worth of patches, you begin to dream of faster compile speeds :…

I don't think it's rewriting history to say you were aggressive and attacking, I do absolutely accept that you might have been 100% in the right and justified in that. I got the im…

Understandable that it came off that way, genuinely not intended as that. It's bloody hard to express something sincerely on the internet without sounding like you're just being sa…

...but this comment which is sincere, genuine and offered to someone for whom this could be greatly helpful has made me seriously reconsider. Kudos. I felt you'd appreciate an unhe…

"I have for a while thought of you as (total honesty here) a bullying cock" Notice the past tense. I based that opinion on the many aggressive attacking posts by Zed (for which he …

I have for a while thought of you as (total honesty here) a bullying cock (though talented at what you do), but this comment which is sincere, genuine and offered to someone for wh…

Yes, you're right, other than the idea that the job posting isn't entering into an argument - I'd say that it is, the person is taking a position that they feel this is a reasonabl…

Discussing an accusation of ad hominem inevitably involves you discussing that person's ad hominem-ism, which is ironically meta-ad hominem. Unavoidable I think... though strangely…

So it's ok to be an abusive arsehole as long as you're honest about it? The only crime is to be a dishonest arsehole? How about being a decent reasonable human being/employer? Or i…

Ad hominem is attacking the person rather than their position on the topic at hand. This guy has played his hand and shown us his position. Now what you want is us to take your per…

I know I'm going to get downvoted to hell but... Are these the beginnings of a new silicone valley?

Yeah, I have to say I feel like a bit of a dick right now. Sorry man. I love what you're trying to do with this page. Helping get people involved in open source projects rocks, so …
