Hot on the heels of last week’s Opera 19 for Android release, Opera 19 for Mac and Windows (based on Chromium 32) is out! Here’s what that means for web developers. Everyone's non-least favourite browser would like to remind everyone it still exists

As a long time Opera 12.x user, I'm still waiting for an indication of when they'll decide the Chromium based version is mature enough for an official switch over.
With them not offering an automatic update, I'm assuming they've still got enough stuff that's TBD that it's not considered ready for primetime yet.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft has apparently finally admitted that Windows 8's dueling tablet-PC interface was a mistake, because reports say that in the upcoming 8.1 update Windows will bypass the Start screen and boot straight to the desktop. "The complaining customer represents a huge opportunity for more business."

|
That new update still will not save it.
There will still be a navigation problem that the new UI introduced.

Seems it up:
There is a solution, and it's a simple one: Follow Apple's lead and design one OS for traditional computers and another one for tablets. But there's no sign Microsoft is willing to do that with Windows 8. If we're lucky, maybe it will happen with Windows 9 or beyond.

With the release of Windows 8.1 to the world in October, January was the third full month of availability for Microsoft’s latest operating system version, which was just enough time for it to pass Windows Vista in market share. Linux is at 1.6%! It's truly the "Year of Linux" this time

The real question is of those new sales that were created for Christmas, How many were returned ?
I know we returned 1 in my house.
And HP is offering some Windows 7 units again.
Not a system I would want though.
|
|
|
|
|
That's a good point: I don't think I've ever seen reports on returns. Except - of course - on major recalls.
Windows 7 is definitely going to be around for a while though.

For at least the past five years I have read countless articles not just deriding the value of the so-called skill, but citing experts that flat out deny that there is such a competency in the first place, and pointing to evidence that those who engage in the behaviour are seriously harming their cognitive performance. It certainly is possible, and I'll prove it - just after I answer my phone

It is certainly possible to perform multiple tasks at once provided the tasks have periods when they don't require your active participation.

Only? That does not include the efforts for the later clean-up when half-finished code got checked in (and we read unfinished code quite often in the Werid and Wonderful).

IDC has published the “2014 Worldwide Software Developer and ICT-Skilled Worker Estimates” document, a study estimating the number of professional software developers, hobbyist developers and Information and Communications Technology (ICT)-skilled workers in the world at the start of 2014. The 90 countries covered in the study represent 97% of the world’s GDP. All right, everybody: count off

I think it fits here, but it could also have gone in the Lounge too.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

In Tegmark's view, everything in the universe — humans included — is part of a mathematical structure. All matter is made up of particles, which have properties such as charge and spin, but these properties are purely mathematical, he says. And space itself has properties such as dimensions, but is still ultimately a mathematical structure. Time for someone to integrate himself into a padded collection

I think he's made the fundamental error of confusing the map with the territory.
The reason mathematics models the universe so well is simply because we designed mathematics to be useful modelling the universe, through a succession of refinements.
