Press "?" for a list of all keyboard shortcuts ("?" also works on some Google properties).

Unless I've missed something "m" is missing from that help. Odd.

Considering that "m" is half the known keyboard shortcuts (I'm ignoring ? as it represents a recursion I'm unwilling to face right now), that is odd indeed.

Fixed, thanks!

Here's Brendan's post on the subject: http://brendaneich.com/2012/04/community-and-diversity/

I believe the PyPy folks are working on an implementation of R in RPython (which would give it a JIT for free). See https://bitbucket.org/cfbolz/rapydo for code without much in the way of docs or overview.

Thank you for the pointer vgnet, I didn't know about that project...

The blog is from Google, so the logo is OK. The post, OTOH, has clear attribution.

Oh man, it was posted one hour earlier and mine got all the votes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3808719. I blame the new localized blogspot[.com].xx domains, I suggest that HN should special case these when looking for duplicates.

Someone requested a new password for your account. Maybe they were actually trying to log in, forgot their password and mixed the username up, maybe because they thought they had (malicious) access to the corresponding mail box, maybe because the new passwords are easier to crack than arbitrary ones...

If you go to http://marketshare.hitslink.com/, it also shows that Windows XP had an increase in marketshare. So my guess would be that some huge market (China?) added noise to the numbers, due to their methodology based on "estimated internet users per country".

This is what I was thinking. This is (hopefully!) not due to people choosing to use IE6, but likely due to people installing a likely pirated copy of XP who were not previously Internet users.

They are building a "Metro style enabled desktop browser" (see http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2012/02/building...) which has a lot more power than Metro apps.

I couldn't find a peep about the meeting in TSA's blog. I find it ludicrous that they can boot a top tier expert without enough time to replace him by anyone that could bring similar points to the discussion.

I think you're confused. Their blog is not an information-dissemination service, it is a marketing instrument.

You would've gotten the same message across without also insulting vgnet by omitting that first sentence.

He's not actually insulting him. The first sentence is ironic, because vgnet isn't actually confused, he just has reasonable expectations. It actually serves to further insult the TSA, and is a fairly common phrasing in these sort of comments (at least in physical conversation, perhaps it's less advisable through the medium of the web).

What? People get confused. I get confused. You get confused (as evidenced by this post). Everybody gets confused, just like everybody poops.

Nobody's actually confused. He did not literally mean to say anyone was confused. He's essentially saying "you were naive to think this blog was more than a marketing channel".

KwanEsq explained exactly what I intended with my introduction.

Every comment ought to be a file in a git repo, so that we can send pull requests.

I've previously considered some kind of social website built around the idea of annotating arbitrary sections of existing content instead of replying postwise. I can't help but suspect it'd deteriorate into a Derrida-esque anarchy of words, though.

Isn't that basically Wikipedia?

Well, in WP you can edit what other people have put up, too. I think the closest existent website to what I had in mind is http://everything2.com (WARNING: massive time sink).
