i used to run Owncloud (php), which was ok for CalDAV and CardDAV, but the web interface was terribly slow. Now I run calendarserver for CalDAV/CardDAV (Python), which is fast for CardDAV (few data) and slow for CalDAV (a lot of data).

We have two computers. One works flawlessly, always. One used to be terrible, with backups corrupting every two or three weeks. Both was true for the Time Capsule we used at the time and the Raspberry Pi we replaced it with. I since reinsta

My RasPi is certainly collecting dust as well, but not for the lack of uses--It is connected to power, ethernet, and an external hard drive. I only ever access it over ssh and never need to touch it. It runs a Time Machine backup server, a

Yes, I own a Beaglebone Black. But the operating system and the ecosystem surrounding it is oh so aweful compared to simply-Debian it-just-works Wheezy for the Raspberry Pi. That probably doesn't matter too much if you are building som

More cores, mostly. I tried using the Raspberry Pi with server software such as Owncloud or calendarserver. It just barely works, but it is still very slow. Like, response times upwards of four seconds. Recent smartphone processors have s

Does anyone know what the state of plotting is in Julia? I couldn't really find any convincing examples for that. For many applications, plotting really is a big requirement. That said, I look forward to a future where Julia will take

Yes! I am waiting desperately for a Raspberry Pi with an updated CPU!

Open a website, a giant banner is shoved in my face that forces me to click a teensy, tiny close button to be able to view the website. Sorry, not gonna read it.

However, keep in mind that it is only a tradeoff if you tried at least two things. Otherwise it's just random choice.

This is terriffic news! Smartphones are things that drop, that break, that fall into water and that get lost. Shelling out $500 for something this... ephemeral... always seemed absurd to me. Or maybe I am just clumsy.

I am not convinced. How much time can I spend on customizing something to be more convenient and still save time in the long run? Can I spend half an hour to speed up a task I do daily by five minutes? Can I spend a month learning Emacs and

An far as I know Spyder still doesn't support Python 3. Still a decent IDE for scientific Python, though.

Actually, QML has included Desktop Widgets for QML since Qt 5.1 under the name Qt Quick Controls[1], which means that desktop-type applications are now supported for QML as well. Having used those a bit, I have to conclude that they are FRE

RAID-0 still breaks if either disk breaks, thus doubling your potential for failure.

I think this this article grossly misunderstands the basic problem. It's not about the government being able to reach out for the data of an individual suspects criminal. It's about the government grabbing ALL data from EVERYONE.

Maybe noone knows the answer. I certainly don't.

OOo/LO is a straight forward clone of MS Office. It shares all its design weaknesses and adds some of its own. Except foor freedom, I don't see any reason for using it over MS Office.

I regularly compared browsing performance. I looked at how fast websites were loading and how fluidly they scrolled. Initially, I switched from FF to Chrome because it was so much faster. But then FF improved, while Chrome got worse and wor

For me, it is time. I switched back about a year ago, when Firefox started to not be painful any more, but still was a step back from Chrome. Some tabs would still cause stuttering in the whole app and sometimes scrolling was less than smoo

Probably not as much as you seem to think. The last banking crisis originated in the US, but it didn't hit the non-US nearly as hard. In many ways, the US is actually very self-contained and in the backlash from its recent crisis, many

Probably one of the best written ones: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2013/07/18/javascript-isnt... But basically, ask anyone with Lisp experience. Only JavaScript people without Lisp experience argue that

But why not use Lua itself then? It is a very elegant, beautifully consistent language. In a way, it is JavaScript Done Right.

That meme "Javascript is basically Scheme with a C based syntax" has been refuted so many times it's not even funny. Does it have a metacircular evaluator? Is it homoiconic? Does it have macros? Seriously, read SICP or some o

Very true. I use Emacs myself, and I am happy to show it off and rave about its merits to felliw developers. But I don't recommend it to newbies. Newbies have enough on their plate with learning a new language. They don't need any

The thing is, for a programmer, a programmable text editor can multiply your productivity. You can leverage your programming skills to improve your programming environment. This is increadibly powerful stuff. Neo would say that it can free

In general, your visual response time is about 200 ms. Anything below that is fine for regular visual feedback such as highlighting a button after it has been pressed. This is due to latency in the processing of visual information in the br

It is really depressing that we live in a society where our first instinct is to think "what would happen if someone strapped a bomb to that". In contrast, in Germany this wass a prank, and only about surveillance. And the police

Right..... So you're saying that your code works? Like, it doesn't crash? That's... awesome... Buzzword bingo does not add value. It only obscures meaning. Of course your code works. Of course you use existing technologies. T

Is it a syntax error to talk Java without playing buzzword bingo? "Leverage proven techniques and technologies"? What does that even mean?

I think this is terrific news. A publicly traded company has only one goal: increasing short term profit (max one year). Thus, no long term investment is possible any more. Buying Dell back enables them to think long and hard about the futu
