Since i am a Greek, when communicating with Barbarians like you i am forced to use a Barbaric language (in my case the -common among Barbarians- language called English) instead of the language of the Gods: Greek!
I've known several Greeks over the years, and all of them have said basically this to me at some point.
All this hate on the Classic mini NES, I just don't understand. My wife was able to go to the local Target and get one for me for Christmas. It's pretty awesome, it just works, has good games, has HDMI. Great execution by Nintendo.
He left his job at Apple, so you are interviewing him? I don't think Chris wants to work at Slashdot all that much. Good luck anyway.
I am still here....and a Gary Johnson supporter. I don't put the time into Slashdot that I did 15 years ago, but I do check in from time to time.
Yes, that could be a major reason why. I have been creating and supporting board support packages for Linux on ARM for 7 years. The number of public posts I have made to open forums can be counted on one hand for exactly this reason.
Nintendo was very popular when I was in grade school (near Washington DC). I can think of only one friend who did not have one (and they had a Sega Genesis). I still have mine, along with a spare I picked up, and 80-90 games for it. These days, I play the Super Nintendo more. I remember the schools having Atari computers, and Apple IIGS computers, but I can't remember any Commodores or Amigas. My dad used MS-DOS at work, so we had a progression of 8086-286-386-Pentium 75 MHz- Pentium II @ 450 MHz at home all running Microsoft OSes. I learned Linux after the Pentium 75 MHz had been demoted to scrap status, so I could play with it however I wanted. I remember running RedHat 5.1 (the old 5.1), and it taking many hours to rebuild the 2.0 kernel.
The iota enumerator in Golang is elegant and unique. Writing idiomatic Golang code is so implicit in the language itself that I've been able to easily read almost any Go code I find.

If you're building services that still require "regular maintenance windows" in 2014, you're doing it wrong.
This is a really nice sentiment but is in fact somewhat disconnected from reality.
In the web world, building zero downtime services that don't require maintenance is doable. In many enterprise IT environments with legacy or bloated software (hospitals, education, government) it's a non-starter. The staff do not have the skill, the applications don't have the support, and the political will within the organization is not there. Database migrations alone can be a major source of downtime, and that's largely true even for web services.
Puppet is a great tool for automation but does not solve problems like patching and rebooting systems without downtime.
Yup. Very dependent on the business, the application, the usage patterns, etc.
The right answer to this is to have redundant systems so you can do the work during the day without impacting business operations.
Many of the newer phones from T-Mobile (the US version, anyway) are configured out of the box to use native IPv6. A third of their data traffic is now terminating on IPv6. They're using NAT64 for reaching hosts that don't have a native IPv6 address.
IPv6 rollout is happening, just not in the places some of us are looking.
Ive been working on a platform that is Linux running on a 1 GHz, 32 bit ARM, where we want to run an already existing Qt Quick 2 application. We have run mockup applications with X using the virtual framebuffer and the mesa software renderer, and found performance to be really bad. On the order of 1 FPS or so. Any suggestions on ways to make the software renderer more usable? My understanding is that LLVM would help here, but only works on x86 and x64.
