Or, well, maybe the desktop/laptop will just keep going strong. Nothing compares to dual screens + real life at the same time. I want natural light AND big screen estate!

I keep hearing doomeries as "Laptops will kill desktops", "tablets will kill laptops". What's next? we're going to work on smartwatches? And here I am, with my desktop computer, comfy keyboard & screens, fu

For the faithful, racking up merit, studying etc are indeed noble pursuits no matter what. But I was more speaking about all the time spent in churches, praying etc in the mislead hope of having eternal life.

It is funny how one of the top comment is a very long debate about how this article is good or not, completely missing the point. The sooner you realize life is short, the more you will make smart use of your time. The same goes for faith:

Visual Studio is one of the best IDE out there, and it is likely to remain better than Rider for at least a while. It surely "comes close" ;)

Exactly, I've always used whatever hardware I wanted, and Linux mostly just worked. The occasional hiccups are proprietary Nvidia drivers, and some wifi chips being too recent and needing an open source driver readily available. I use

Yes, because in 2015 194kb is so incredibly much. Maybe the carriers' are sloppy and inefficient. See, whatever I do, when I access anything web-based on my mobile phone, it is slow. And I live in Paris. It's funny how suposedly t

I've been trying to up my game on reading: - Founders at Work: Jessica Livingston. Good. Less repetitive than Coders at Work. - Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage. Awfuly boring. But I don't care at all about sailing (

No real special sauce, but you have winetricks which has a few things to help solve common problems, and then winehq.org to see if others made a particular software/game on Linux. I've found it to work remarkably well with games.

Additional features that can't gracefully degrade would be a selling point for slack. "Your client does not seem to support video calls, we do, purchase an account here". When it comes to file transfers, a simple link to down

I think you're missing cromwellian's point: you could have made the same thing while upholding open values. For example if it was a rich client based on IRC, I could join in on a chat without being a slack customer. I could also b

This is such a big deal, and I feel like we are so powerless against it. If it was easy for governments to get the money owed, it would allow them to cash in votes for finally lowering taxes (in France especially...). The fact that they did

There is a package in most linux distributions (sbcl under Ubuntu). If you want more precise control over your lisp, look into Roswell. It is rbenv for lisp.

Not only this, but in the conclusion you get this pearl: "learning on your own is neither efficient nor cost-effective when factoring in time spent." And now everybody learns the same way? I can tell you that for a self-taught per

However in "bikeshedding", like-minded people tearing themselves apart over small things is a byproduct of the underlying problem: they're procrastinating the bigger issue.

The last few times I installed Linux on a machine went fine for 95%+ of what I expected. First, the worst: a high-end gaming laptop from MSI. Everything worked except the wifi that was not recognized, and the GPU that was too recent to have

The problem is, "jack of all trades" is not just less pretentious, it is frowned upon. What is the middle ground?

Straying away from any consideration of "how well agile was implemented", I've never been at a shop that seemed to get any real advantage by saying they are "agile". Although my experience is only 4 shops on that ma

I think it is not so much about "good debug support", or "easy deployment". It is really about what YOU, as an individual, without any regard to who wrote what language reimplementing its slice of CLisp, can do with a gi

I have the same setup (pass [0] + private git repository via Gitlab). Password-wise it is as safe as my ssh key + gpp key, so pretty strong. Metadata wise it is as safe as my ssh key + gitlab account (still pretty strong), or my linux sessi

If you're looking to change your password manager, I've been using `pass` [0] for years now, and it's one of he best open source project I have ever used. Everything works, it uses git for remote storage and gpg for encryptio

I've been using DDG for over a year now, and I haven't had to bump over to Google for a long time. In fact with the bangs I search pretty much everything with it. I do wish the "defaults" were more trackless oriented tho

In France, at least, I don't know anybody that thinks voting would change anything. You need a good option to vote well.

Well then please enlighten him/me, I do think the insurance business is a scam as well (in France). Never in my life has it been worth it, and I'm outraged to know it is sometimes required by law (you can be fined, by a cop, if yo

In Emacs you could achieve the same thing without node dependency, the markdown mode already supports previewing in browser so you could add two hooks (on 'markdown-mode-hook and 'after-save-hook) and call 'markdown-preview o
