I'm very much hoping we have something like Emotiv ( http://www.emotiv.com/ ) for text entry by then. (They have one promising competitor, I forget what their name was.)…

I really like all of Charlie's books. The Laundry books are definitely different; closer to fantasy in fact, but still nicely in touch with hacker mentality.

I've read The Sparrow countless times, I really love it. As for the sequel, no, it's not as good. Obviously that was to be expected. If you loved The Sparrow, you might still want to read on about Emi…

Might be cleaner to separate headers and contents. I.e. {"h": {"ring": 43723}, "c": {"see": ["5.6.7.8:23456","11.22.33.44:11223"]}}. Get h for headers, c for commands, s for signals and d for data. Ge…

Seems like an interesting idea. I also wonder why the max contents of a JSON object is 1400 bytes, that seems kind of limiting. UDP can do 65,507b of content...

Why is this not the default malloc shipped with libc's around the world yet?

Well, I think a 36-hour work week is the norm in NL, so it's 4 9-hour days.

I think I have to recuperate on Saturdays now, too. But yeah, I commute for 3h a day and it sucks. Haven't thought up a good solution yet, since I really don't like the city where I work.

This is the EU; if they're qualified enough, they might be able to find work here in the Netherlands.

Why is there no browser engine? It would seem like your method of "writing my own of everything I need" doesn't really scale well to something like the entire browser stack. And it appears that WebKit…

It's probably this regression: http://blog.mozilla.com/tglek/2010/12/21/rude-surprise-start... …

Lesson they have not yet learned: including a HTML title tag in their Blogger templates.

I wonder what this means for Panorama... Since it's not close to being done yet (as far as something like that ever gets done), it could surely use more of Aza's design chops.

Maybe there should be a random one or two links from the newest page at the top (or the right) of the normal front page?

If it's a hardware feature, who knows what the other hardware vendors will do with that?

If "nicki minaj" is directly under "justin bieber" in fastest rising, why is there a bunch of other stuff between those terms in "fastest rising in entertainment"?

I wonder if this correctly calculates what tweets I get to see (replying to someone I also follow). Also, would be nice if it also showed retweets in the table.

I know, I hope its merging is followed by a quick release. :)

I think this is the first PyPy release that's actually viable to use for me (because of x86-64). Very exciting! (Hope they catch up with 2.6 - or 2.7 - soon, though.)

Does 23andme allow users to get their data out? I.e., get them in some raw format that one could use to correlate with other studies you might find, or put them into some other service?

Err, your last sentence is a bit weird. First of all, 3.6 already has TraceMonkey; what's new in Fx 4 is JägerMonkey, and the integration between it and TM. Second, the Mozilla JS engine is largely de…

We use Flot successfully, but have also looked at jqplot.

Everyone here should subscribe to LWN and get this kind of content sooner.

So you only love Ubuntu's UI breakthroughs so long as they don't get paid for their work? I think the article linked here is too extremist. I still believe open core can be done in a manner that satis…

Reminds me of Cyclomaniacs. Except no points for stunts...

CouchDB (with couchdb-python) and Jinja on top of bare WSGI (through mod_wsgi). Werkzeug is looking appealing, though. On the browser side, jQuery.

Sure, as soon as they can make money doing it. AFAIK their income from sources other than AdWords is negligible in comparison to their AdWords income.

Yeah, because all the software we build is so predictable that anyone can use it!
