It sounds like BRIN could replace partitioning on some cases. Am I right? Assuming you have a huge log table, partitioned by week, would this be a better fit?

It's really not easy to answer if it is the right thing or the wrong thing. I will try to enumerate a few key points while being as objective as possible.

a) Most Greeks feel that they have been wronged or cheated. Their anger is usually against 1) other Greeks (i.e. public sector employees against freelancers for not paying taxes, or private sector employees against public for being lazy) 2) against Germany, for austerity, the WWII and the loans they haven't repaid 3) against large multinational interests, etc.

b) All (recent) governments, including this one (so far), have fallen victim to voting in policies that benefit special interests, large or small, instead of making a few basic reforms that are necessary. What is necessary and what is just is debatable, of course. It's a constant battle between different social groups, where everyone is right.

c) There are a lot more and deeper problems in Greece that I can't go into, that fuel an endless feeling of injustice. Things that are taken for granted in other European countries do not work like that over here. This is why some of the analogies made when criticizing Greeks are false.

Now, about the referendum. One side, the government, is saying that a "No" will give them more power to continue the negotiations and bring in a better agreement. They are trying to reduce the issue to democracy in the EU, national pride and independence. Other sides say that the government's proposal and troika's proposal are very similar and this is a false dilemma that only serves the ruling party's interests, and some vague Drachma lobby. The previous prime minister even went out and said that the deal offered by Troika is "unacceptable" (while the one they had made was better but they were forced out) but we have to accept it.

One important point I would like to make is that no one seems to know what either deal really says, but no one bothers to explain it to the people. The news only report the "bad" and everyone is spreading FUD.

I don't know what's best. I have an opinion but I'm afraid there are things in play that I do not understand. One thing I do know is that many of our youth want more Europe and less Greece, and a very large number have already left.

I see the GNOME logo with "something" sticking out.

The site works here (Greece). Trace route fails after ddf-b2-link.telia.net but that's not necessarily a problem.

I got the A10-7850K APU on release and I couldn't be happier. I built my main dev PC with it. The integrated graphics adapter is more than enough to drive 3 monitors (it can do 4 as well) running Gnome Shell. All that using the free drivers, which is important to me because I need it to be hassle-free.

I've never noticed any slowness but then I don't do heavy video processing or hours of compiling C. Light gaming and WebGL demos are no problem either.

I know that's not exactly what you mean, but Chrome OS and similar cloud platforms are doing a similar thing, differently.

All you need is a monitor with a web browser. If you accept the browser as the OS, it already works, it just needs to get better. And it'll get better, it already is good enough for casual users.

There's also http://visjs.org/ that I've used on a project. See the Network examples; it's pretty cool.

All this and the six month sentence just for "repeatedly scanning the local Hidalgo County website for vulnerabilities"? Scanning?

Thanks, as someone outside the media producing business, I found this very interesting to read.

I often like to think that we don't really need big budget productions; sure, they're fun but they are stifling our culture with marketing, big name actors, risk/controversy-free scripts.

Distribution is the other big problem. The internet has changed/balanced things and it looks like DRM is just attempts to curb that.

My sincere questions for you:

In the end, do you consider DRM good for you?

Also, aren't you afraid that if we keep going like this, with DRM embedded in our OSes and processors (with no alternatives), we will soon reach a point of no return? I'm talking App-Store like distribution, where they get 30% and handle everything for you, even what you're allowed to say.

For anyone interested, here's a few links collected by someone I know that point out why it's not so simple. It's not help, it's business.

Analytical thinking.

Do you think that the 24x less code is because of its exceptional design? Or is it missing some features?

I suggest you put OpenELEC on it: dead simple distro for Kodi (XBMC) that just works! I used it to replace my WDTV Live that died recently and I couldn't be happier.

Not implying that the vim way isn't faster but on any regular text editor you can:

ctrl+right arrow once or twice, right arrow to skip the (, shift+end, shift+left arrow, then type.

It'd be interesting to see how this compares to hstore on flat data.

I used to use it a lot a few months back "mapping" my town and I had noticed that it would go at full strength even when I was staying in the same place for hours. Would it be possible to gradually slow down the collections when it detects that the user isn't moving?

Works fine with Firefox on GNU/Linux with just an AMD Kaveri APU (and the free drivers).

> From my standpoint. The cheapest option, and best option for everyone really, is to continue using (an up-to-date) Mono and instead allow for writing games in C++ as well.

Yes. It seems logical that there have been some licensing negotiations that we're not aware of, and maybe all this is part of ongoing negotiations too.

What's puzzling is that they're keeping il2cpp closed. Opening it would make sense and would show they mean serious business but keeping it closed makes me wonder if their risk will pay off or if it's just a bluff.

Not as bad as you describe but there was a period when I used to click a lot (in a game) for many hours a day until it became painful. I used AutoHotkey to remap Ctrl and Alt to left and right click respectively and that was it. I'm not saying it's enough but it may help.

The original submission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8232739, blasted to oblivion for being, uhmm, disruptive?

Maybe "LightFx" would be a more fitting name for this experiment.

It's sad that it's spiraling down to this but it is in practice no different than what the US is doing. There's no free speech without privacy so this looks like a "choose your dictator" kind of thing.

It depends on how often a router may disconnect; they typically receive a new IP address every time they connect. It's also a matter of the ISP's policy, some ISP's force a disconnection once per day while others don't.

It's a trick! All three images show the same browser... "Google" :)

Same here.

Give RefControl a try as well, it blocks the HTTP "referer".

That's funny. So what you're saying is that we shouldn't rewrite the lower level because it'll be harder to rewrite it later on.

Here's another one, pretty well done: http://www.naqeshny.com/?locale=en

Can you really trust the CAs? There have been many cases where a CA was compromised or tricked into signing fraudulent certs, never mind government mandated back doors.

Well, it depends. Are you looking to hire a programmer or a teacher? ;)
