Sounds interesting; I hadn't heard of PCem before. Does it always require a BIOS image from an original computer, though? Or are those just for some potential machine-specific functionality or something? The table of emulated systems l

I'm also not a lawyer, but AFAIK publishing a specification has nothing to do with whether the tech can be legally used without a patent license. I don't know how the release to Open Invention Network affects things, though.

Maybe, but it could also be about just not getting around to doing it. Changes, especially in a large system with a large user base, require extensive testing, and even small changes may come with a lot of red tape. I don't know how th

I'm fine with the trackpad. It might not seem as high quality (feels a bit floppy somehow), but the click sensitivity is fairly consistent and it feels comfortable to me. Some other laptops I've used e.g. for work have had trackpa

Finnish also has lots of compound words. German might be different, but in Finnish words might sometimes have a slightly different meaning if the words are written separately (with a space) or as a compound. (Often that other meaning is rar

Well, RHEL consists of open source software. While not all of that software is copyleft, it has AFAIK always been part of the reality and the very premise of Red Hat that someone else can take that, too. If a community project itself stoppe

Ah, you mean session restoration rather than reliable sleep. You're probably right. Linux desktops environments (or at least some of them) used to have an attempt at something like that, but I think it only worked for applications that

Perhaps, or maybe some service just keeps hanging for some reason before it shuts down. It might be a software matter, too.

Even if the system starts quickly enough to not matter that much, keeping state still matters. An IDE, any documents that are open in other applications, possible virtual machines etc. are immediately there where you left them after resumin

I'd expect e.g. Ubuntu certified devices [1] to handle it. There are certified laptops from at least Dell and Lenovo, and probably the odd model from other manufacturers. While the certification technically only means the hardware is c

Where I live, you can stay at home due to illness for 3 days or so (varies a little) before a doctor's note is required. Often a mild common cold or a diarrhea will ameliorate within a few days. It still feels stupid every time you get

The difference is probably at least partially cultural, but probably not due to some kind of a single factor such as "responsibility". I'm not from Norway, but other European countries also have systems that are more or less

The "get" was italicized, and I think it might have meant that OP "gets" Python but not React in the sense that the former is something that strikes a chord with them somehow. Maybe OP finds it easier to review code writ

AFAIK in Windows there's generally a prompt for rebooting either now or after a delay that can be selected from given options. (I'm not a heavy Windows user either so I might not be right.) I've sometimes found Windows to hav

I don't know that it's a bubble thing. I've never been even near SV (although I am a tech worker, so perhaps in some kind of a bubble), and I can see how there could be rational reasons for implementing automatic reboots. Som

by Delk 6y ago
I think (although I'm not 100% sure) that if you don't react to the prompt at all, it automatically reboots after a while, at least on some updates. You may not always be at the computer if you're waiting for some kind of a l

To be fair, I get notifications of "important updates" on my Fedora Workstation more often than I get on Windows. (Or at least I think I do; I don't use Windows that often.) Fedora also wants to reboot for nearly every bunch

Kind of fun, although to me there seems to be a bit too much guesswork as to what you're actually supposed to do. For example the puzzle for day 8 (and especially day 9) doesn't really tell me anything about what I'm actually

I can't speak of the political climates of the majority of the world, but at least in Europe multi-party systems aren't that uncommon, and those tend towards less of an ideological divide between the parties than the American bi

I'm sorry the quality was so poor in the country you were born in, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's (only) because the service was free (there could be other reasons), or that poor quality is a necessary consequenc

The craft beer trend might not be old enough to show up in data. Drinking wine might, as far as existing data from several past decades goes, still be statistically connected to higher socioeconomic status.

The neurobiological effects of alcohol are fairly complex. I don't think most of its effects can be attributed to a single mechanism or reason. It might be that coming back from the (subjectively positive) effects of alcohol could be o

I also first thought it looked like a German-centric idea of a "united" Europe after most of it had been joined to Germany. But I think it's probably actually a highbrow vision of (Central) Europe amalgamated into a union whe

There isn't always an actual need to change a design, but people feeling that something "looks outdated" if it's not following current aesthetic trends is a real thing. Somehow the Wikipedia design doesn't seem to b
