The recent release of 0.11 marks the inclusion of the long awaited serialization feature. Python and Java only for now. I've been using it for a while for Python and although it has some rough edges, it works pretty well and I'm super excited for the project.

Finally! I'm eager to try this. I always wanted to control my keyboard lights to have 'analog' notifications and stuff[1]. Never bothered to check the windows apps with wine.

[1] I was thrilled when some dev showed on twitter that he reserved some key lights to CI build status.

Me and my girlfriend wanted to watch a movie on Netflix (...)I watched the film on Netflix.

I'm starting to notice this pattern a lot both in person and on the internet. How long until Netflix becomes a verb? It doesn't add to the story, but somehow people feel compelled to advertise the service they use.

Thanks. This 'under attack' and 'us vs them' really sucks. It would be unwise to form an opinion of the whole thing without actually reading all of the emails. Yes, there are ad-hominem attacks in the email you quoted, and even if ESR was right in everything, probably not the best way to express it.

Anyway, at least this outrage brought the issue into attention, now I'm super curious about this matter.

I'm reading his side first here: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=8609

Ctrl+L feels as convenient as c+Enter

I learned to hit Ctrl with my palms, and never looked back. Do you use your pinky? If so, I agree c+Enter is more convenient than ctrl+L.

An exquisite snapshot of a portion of current sysadmin times. It was about time this meme was born. Do I feel relieved or like I have to catch up given that I don't know 100% of the technologies mentioned? Mmm.

we are letting out of our control because it's more convenient. Nowadays to truly own your data, you have to go to great lengths, but the solutions are arriving, but probably not for the mainstream consumer any time soon.

like in video-games, latency kills the experience. You want to have the lower latency from where you want something (e.g. listen to music) and when it actually happens.

To all the people who don't like/freak out about their data being harvested: would you use such a device, if it is completely open (both hardware and software) and the data is under your control?

Congrats on shipping it! It worked nicely on my first try. I think this might be the feature for visualizing data, when VR/AR become mainstream.

Imagine this but with stylized graphics that respond to real-time data: you could see a popular post like some sort of concert with tons of people (the website visitors). Every comment made on the post can be also read from them in real time.

It's a way I wanted to browse the web for a long time.

Interesting, thanks for the tip. Have you tried one of those to decide not to buy them? The 'open' in their name is encouraging. How far are we to train some sort of assistant that executes commands based on brain activity patterns, e.g. instead of shouting '<assitant-name> turn off the music', just think it and have it executed?

That is something I thing about frequently. On one hand, I think it's great to have self-sustaining homes/neighborhoods that require minimal manual repetitive work. Then I think that there are lots of people who know nothing but that. knowledge". If you lose the ability to adapt and learn (something we all probably do as we age), then you are left out.

Adding to all what been said, the first thing I do is to count the lines of code using cloc, and see the contributors list. There is generally one key person who has the most commits, so it's good to know that person philosophy and style. For example, for reading the redis source code, I learned a lot from its creator blog posts and the redis manifesto (http://oldblog.antirez.com/post/redis-manifesto.html). By the way, I love Redis' style.
