How is it disrespectful to breastfeed one's child in public? You and others seem to be assuming that's just self-evidently true, but I don't know why that would be.

People say things I consider delusional, ignorant, or offensive all the time. I respect their right to do so, and I don't believe they should "respect" me by keeping their mouths shut. Case in point above.

> Personally I think it is a case of over sharing.

So what you're saying is that Facebook should be removing something like 90-95% of the photos uploaded to it.

You're focusing on the wrong person in the situation, and maybe that's part of the problem. It's not about the mother performing a bodily function; it's about feeding a very dependent and undisciplined proto-human. Neither their minds nor their metabolisms understand waiting.

As for the mothers in question...the sensibilities of strangers is such an inconsequential concern compared to the well-being of one's child that you might as well ask why she thinks it's okay to drink a glass of water without any consideration for the fate of the millions of living organisms within. When our baby cries, my wife goes into some kind of panic-driven berserker state until he's mollified. I barely matter to her at that point.

So that's the why. As to the where...you can't simply go into house arrest when you have a baby that you have to feed every 2-3 hours. In my opinion, a lot of people eat far more obscenely than any combination of baby+breast, but open-mouth chewers are allowed to perform their horrible bodily functions in full view of the innocent public even though they could be considerate and eat in the privacy of their homes. Imagine you're a mother (assuming you aren't). Why should you be treated like a second class citizen when you're literally creating the next generation of people from the substance of your own body? No mother I know feels that what she's doing is obscene or anything less than wonderful, and I personally doubt the mental health of anybody who does.

This doesn't sound like Go to me, but I've never used it:

Homoiconic

Code can be manipulated as data.

Extensible syntax

I find I don't use macros much anymore. I do more with data-oriented programming. But it is nice to have when you need it.

I just always have an emacs running, and use emacsclient to open files in it. Anyway, if you're typing "git commit" you may not be using the capabilities of your editor to the fullest.

Hey, that sounds familiar...

What about JavaScript makes it inherently single-threaded? I would describe it as more of a counter-example. There's nothing preventing a multi-threaded JavaScript except for the implementor's choice to avoid it. When the need for parallel computation became strong enough, Web Workers were created with a shared-nothing, message-passing design.

I'm no fan of GILs, but I've been burned enough times with explicit locking that I respect any attempt to find a Third Way. And why provide a lock facility if the third way is a truly usable alternative?

There are several emacs-ish keybinding and behavior packages. Install Package Control and look through the repo.

I'm based in Atlanta and would love to hear more about that.

Please please please please don't let this happen. Intel appears to be what made Apple viable for a lot of people, especially in the enterprise. Specifically, full-speed Windows in a VM or BootCamp.

It may be something we never actually use, but having that parachute is something I'm superstitious about losing. Never mind the return of the Whose is Bigger CPU wars.

When thrown, the iPad 2 is also less aerodynamically stable than a Frisbee, therefore Apple must have secret holdings in a toy company.

This is some powerful mojo. It's like I'm finally seeing the real world.

Content providers already have to support browsers that don't include h.264, and Chrome users are now in the same boat as Firefox users -- which content providers certainly won't ignore.

For sites which only produce h.264, Chrome includes Flash which can play h.264. And every video site is going to support a Flash playback path for older browsers.

The real impact here is pretty small, other than legitimizing a free and open codec. Chrome has just moved from one must-support category to another one. Most people will never notice the difference. How is that a loss?

She has certainly lost my trust. She made a promise to help her business -- possibly impacting competing products like BowTie who did not make the same promise negatively -- and then fails to uphold it. Not only is this a breach of contract with her customers, it undermines our ability to find viable alternative products.

A promise doesn't mean "I'll do it if it's convenient." That people are rewarding her broken promise is just bizarre.

This is much faster and doesn't ask for any auth info: https://gist.github.com/744312

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. SQL works quite well in just about every language there is without introducing new syntax. Are you talking about something like LINQ? Nice, but unnecessary.

Where "better" doesn't mean "more efficient, more powerful, more understood, or more effective", but "more standard-y".

And without raising awareness of the issue, everybody might always be somewhat vulnerable forever, whereas now that "we know", after being highly vulnerable for a short time everybody's vulnerability to this should drop to zero very quickly.

If you assume a limited number of evildoers and a limited ability to exploit this at will (e.g. you have to catch your victim in close proximity on public wi-fi that you're sharing with him), releasing a tool like Firesheep may produce significantly less total damage.

You won't get very far developing GUI applications for modern Unixes using just the original Unix APIs, either. And most Windows programmers today aren't using Win16 APIs. I think you're missing the point.

I've written a few iPhone apps. My background in Unix, and the Unix libraries I've been able to use without modification, were both extremely helpful.

PGP WDE doesn't prevent sleep from working on my MacBook. It disables hibernation, but that's not a security choice. It's just a limitation of the implementation.

What you say is the right policy to maximize security, but PGP WDE doesn't enforce it.

Wormly is great not just for showing whether something's up, but what's been going on with it. I use it like a hosted Cacti for my host and MySQL performance measurement. Very nice.

Safari doesn't really "support" 1Password. They had to hack their way. Ask the 1Password guy when he'll support Chrome.

Lastpass is already there: http://blog.lastpass.com/2009/10/lastpass-for-google-chrome-.... Though it crashes instantly for me.
