Official statement on Wayland support in Enlightenment and its libraries:
"It also is in the transition from X11 to Wayland. We are fully committed to moving to Wayland eventually as this is definitely the future of the graphical display layer on Linux."
A single tab using 300 MB for its JavaScript scratchpad isn't uncommon these days, even tabs whose scratchpads grow by the second. This tab is consuming 36 MB currently (up from 32 MB a few minutes ago), with a single poorly-designed ad consuming 4 MB alone. Resource usage on this tab appears to be growing at about 1 MB per minute due to shitty JavaScript on the page.
I used to keep Slashdot open in a tab all day, everyday, but not anymore. I have to close Slashdot frequently to clear up its huge memory leaks.
Yup, I find my workstations perform best with 16 GB of RAM, whether I'm developing PHP, JavaScript or Java. Programming IDE + Database IDE + 2 web browsers with tons of tabs open + web server + database server + etc. = lots of swapping under 8 GB of RAM
Linux doesn't seem to rely on a cult of personality around Linus so much as it relies on the person Linus, whereas other projects like Python form a cult of personality around Guido van Rossum, or GNOME 3 forms a cult of personality around designer Allan Day, etc.
How did you cultivate Linux with your strong personality while avoiding a cult of personality, and how can other project leaders employ similar techniques to benefit their projects?
NTP would typically slew a 1-second difference, so Google is not out-of-line to add the second at the beginning of the day and slew their systems over the course of the day. Google uses lots of vector clocks in their distributed systems, they may have calculated that slewing over the course of the day introduces fewer time differences between machines than counting the final second twice (due to drift, which is inevitable on any NTP slave, corrected by "frequency discipline" and error estimates).
If you don't file: there is no limitation. They can collect for all earnings over the course of your entire life.
Citizens have a different limitation than the IRS. The IRS' limitation never expires if you don't file, but your limitation to collect from the IRS, should they owe you, expires in 3 years if you don't file. There is a potential loophole to this in the Codes, but the IRS privately interprets that loophole to apply to amended returns only (I tried using the loophole). As a kid I was dumb and ignorant, and I considered about 5 years of returns as a savings account I'd collect on later. Well, I lost all of those returns because of the 3-year limitation for citizens to collect from the IRS. And I'd have to sue the IRS in federal court and win to get them to honor the loophole exemption on all returns, not just amended returns.
US citizens residing in foreign countries are still required to pay US Federal Income Tax while abroad, even if they never return. I guess you're paying for the protections the local embassies could theoretically give you, if you don't expatriate and renounce your citizenship in accordance with 8 USC 1481(a)(6).
You are required to file under all circumstances, although they may not care to come after you if you fall below the minimum threshold for owing tax... See the relevant U.S.C. sections, all citizens are required... If self-employed then you will always owe tax, even if you only made $500.
Technically, and IIRC, Americans abroad must continue to file income tax. You should be filing federal income tax 1040 forms each year. Do you? If you get American citizenship for your kids, they could become responsible for filing federal taxes when they start working, even if they never come back to the US, and if they never file and they do come back, they have owe a bunch of back taxes.
A lot of Americans who live abroad and never intend to return to the United States will renounce their citizenship in order to get out of the Federal Income Tax filing requirements. The procedure for renouncing your citizenship is described in 8 USC 1481(a)(6).
Ebola is a real issue that must be address. It is growing exponentially, and the epidemic must be controlled and halted by an international cooperation before it either becomes a) endemic or b) pandemic.
People are scared by the very real numbers alone, the mere mention of those numbers, and the uncertainty of the statistics themselves, in part because they don't understand 1st) probability and 2nd) medicine.
When you point out that we shouldn't have to worry for at least another year, and that along the way there will be clear signs as to whether the situation is getting better or is worsening, giving us time to prepare, then they freak out even more, when it should actually satiate their fear, because it proves their fear of a slight chance of immediate threat is misplaced. It's as if a longer range perspective where we have time to watch and judge and plan makes them feel like the inevitability of an approaching disaster is more certain, when it's not.
My point was that Python is a VM-backed language, similar to the JVM (more correctly, similar but lacking JIT), and unless you hit the GIL it performs quite well. Same as with Perl.
I'll attempt to agree with your Java sentiment by saying that Java only became worth a damn in 1.5.
Today it is respectable for a number of use-cases. My favorite use-case is JAX-RS 2.0. Anyone who writes REST interfaces in Node.js or almost anything else just likes to type a lot of unnecessary lines of code, manually injecting request parameters into business logic and manually creating encoded responses, etc. (Webmachine in Erlang, Ruby or Python is almost as respectable as JAX-RS 2.0 & Jersey.) In JAX-RS 2.0, my same web-annotated business objects and structure-annotated value objects can serve application/xml, application/json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded inputs and outputs without me having to write a single line of plumbing or conversion code, letting me focus on the business logic and domain object model alone.
In the event processing system I referred to, we rewrote it in Java and acheived many improvements in speed over Python (due to our I/O bound multithreading and, of course, avoiding IPC-in-Python along the way, which would have helped, as you say).
FWIW, Puppet is moving from Ruby to JRuby... I'm not a huge JVM fanboy, but it has its benefits on occassion, especially if you can avoid all instances of legacy code and legacy APIs. (Java has a done a better job of learning from their mistakes, but the mistakes linger in legacy code.)
PS: It is not well-known, but it is possible to do reified generics in Java with some hackery (with concrete anonymous abstract classes), if you really need some C++ template love in your codebase.
CPython is a compiler. It compiles Python source code to Python bytecode, and the Python runtime executes the compiled bytecode.
CPython has one major weakness, the GIL (global interpreter lock). I've seen the GIL harm high-throughput, multi-threaded event processing systems not dissimilar from the one you describe.
If you must insist on Python and want to avoid multi-threaded I/O bound weaknesses of the GIL, then use Jython.

That's how we know the hack is fake
In this video he briefly denies the hack: https://youtube.com/watch?v=yf4xdGm0Nfs
Jones' dismissal sounds somewhat uninformed. But it also sounds like VICE/Motherboard saw a hashed file and then paid for only a few cracked hashes.
Sounds like Jones is claiming the "cracked hashes" were stooge accounts.
There should have been a headline a few days ago, "Hillary thinks it is worth her time to attack Alex Jones."
Edimax is the manufacturer of these devices.

I'd like to see it happen, but call me skeptical.

Their method has a name in NTP parlance, it is called slew.
See man page ntpd(8).
I'd like it to be consistent throughout.
What does being the top result on Google for your name/handle have to do with being "intensely private"? Answer: nothing.
Ever since moderation and karma was implemented to discourage "First Post!" posts, Slashdot has been best read at -1.

PPS: Given your custom IPC for Python, could you go us one further and write an OSGi for Python using it? Pretty please! ;)
Thanks for correcting some of my semantics. :)
