I don't think it's the sport. I think it's cricket = bug = spy tool.

It is the sport. The references they are referring to in the article include things like LEGSPIN.

A spy tool that chirps every few seconds to announce its presence? There are better insects to reference.

maybe because it jumps as malware usually does

Just as likely to be a tounge in cheek play on the stereotypically British line for something unfair:

"It's just not cricket"

Censorship should always be opt-in, not opt-out.

You can use ref control to make it look like your the Google news bot https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/refcontrol/ .

Isn't it illegal according to Google to serve different content based upon the Googlebot's User-Agent ?

Only if the content is different for people who got there by clicking a link in Google search results, apparently.

I feel sorry for people who have to write native JS at this point. I can't imagine a JS job interview where you didn't have to know of/about yet another framework.

Great to have some innovation on the frontend for once. We're getting closer and closer to a place where we can write flexible, performant interfaces without the heavy frameworks and tooling of native frontend dev.

Blackberry can go fuck itself.

Blackberry had a qwerty board on their phones long before anyone else and yet they decided to rely on being the only player in town instead of innovating. I hope Firefox OS takes over and the Blackberry CEO has no choice but to switch to it because of the great ecosystem.

You can try Evil Mode. => http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil

Alternative: go full-on emacs, without evil. I think you need to do that, at least at first, to really learn emacs.

How to still get your work done: continue to use vim for your "work," and at first just use emacs to learn emacs. As soon as practical, start using emacs to do just one thing from your work. Somewhere soon after this you'll be comfortable enough to do everything from emacs (although still not an expert), and then you'll be able to decide to stick with it or go back.

I started to learn Emacs with its native commands and shortcuts. But I switched to evil when I noticed than I was unable to memorize the shortcuts for some basic actions like "add a character to the end of each line". Today I use evil-mode for all tasks and to be honest I don't think I'm missing something. The Emacs shortcuts are not mandatory to benefit of the power of Emacs, which resides essentially into its modularity and plugins.

I started off with emacs, moved to vim, and now i'm back on emacs with evil mode.

I wouldn't call it a cult. I find a lot of people who write CL / SBCL don't care much for Clojure. That was a few years ago though, so maybe this has changed?

I find that most Clojurist have mastered at least one or two languages before learning Clojure, so that might be the reason.

It's interesting to see one of my favorite sites doing this. There's always https://openlibrary.org/ which is ran by https://archive.org/ . I imagine Open Library has many of the same books.

It's amazing how so many people are concerned about the dollar price of Bitcoin. If you believe in Bitcoin, you want Bitcoin and not dollars.

Not trying to be cynical about this, but: You want nice things, not bitcoins and not dollars.

Currently, more market actors accept dollars (or Euros, or JPY, or UKP) than bitcoin, hence you're closer to the things you desire if you have dollar liquidity than if you have bitcoin liquidity.

Investments, on the other hand, should be neither in dollars nor in bitcoins, because dollars have inflation and bitcoin is too volatile.

If you truly believe in Bitcoin, you believe that a) there is a good chance that in the future USD, JPY, EU, UKP et al. will be worthless relics, ornaments in a history museum that schoolchildren laugh and joke about and b) that the world would be a massively, massively better place if a) were to eventuate.

Your job is to buy as much Bitcoin as you can as cheaply as possible, cross your fingers and try and do whatever you can to make a) happen, while spending at little of your BTC as possible. You hope to profit immensely but you are also excited for how the world as a whole will profit.

If a) doesn't happen, then you basically have to go back to the drawing board for imagining a way for society to progress and you to make some money.
