Installing Windows first is just the recommended way to set up dual-boot, since the Windows installer will always overwrite the bootloader without asking any questions. I think these days there's an automated repair tool on the Ubuntu

To strain the analogy a bit further - that's the thing about going to a hardware store. Bringing everything home is not really useful, so you'll have to be educated on which tools are needed for your job. And possibly all you real

There isn't exactly a global shortage of cloud storage providers, so the solution seems pretty simple. Just never store your files in only one place.

The thing is, if a candidate seems interesting, you should teach her to look up their website and read their full agenda. If they've held positions before, also to google them to find out what they've actually said and done in the

Vulkan is actually really close in scope to the vendor-specific APIs that OpenGL drivers use to communicate with the GPU. The intention from the beginning was that you would pick an appropriate higher-level abstraction (unless you're,

I have and I do, vastly. ALSA's software mixer was a terrible hack that you'd be lucky to get to work at all, and then you'd have to take care to have all of your applications request the exact same sample format. ESD was dec

> Filtering out which parts are factual and which parts are superstitious nonsense is where the science comes in. Literally, and in the historical sense. That's pretty much how the Royal Society got started.

> It seems to be a constant refrain that Apple’s software quality is declining Funny - until recent years, I remember the mantra on MacOS being "yeah, but it's gotten better in the latest release".

I see the tower on a chessboard as more of an illustration than an illusion, the point being that we don't really observe absolute colour because it's not terribly useful for making sense of space (which is what sight is for). The

They also tend to implicitly make viewers aware that their sensory apparatus is doing something strange, because people aren't structured to only answer those single questions.

It's much more a sign of their failed mobile strategy, which hinged on UI convergence between the desktop and mobile versions of Ubuntu. With all that gone, pooling their efforts with the rest of the Gnome-using world only makes sense

An official keymap editor exists for Windows, but it's not terribly well supported, and I can see how using it would be a hassle especially if you're not technically inclined: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us&#x

The need for the borrow checker is driven by Rust's chosen resource management model. It sounds like what you really want is an optional mode with garbage collection, in which case I recommend you check out F#.

I know it's somewhat beside your point, but production has also become a great deal cheaper. An entry-level external audio interface and DAW package will set you back a couple hundred dollars or euros at most, and will basically give y

Can you elaborate? I remember hearing mainly good things about the Lumia UI. The problem was that it appeared in the middle of an already heated competition between iOS and Android and didn't put much else on the table.

Saturn would most likely choke on memory requirements, given how much is going on in the levels, as well as lack of transparency support. Symphony of the Night was the state of the art 2D platformer for that hardware generation and it has f

The solution might be to keep nix for system software only and have third-party developers deploy snaps or flatpaks. Auditing package dependencies against a list of invalidated hashes should be easy enough.

It seems much more likely to me that we're somewhere in the middle of an S-curve, before the limiting factors have kicked in. In terms of processing power, it's already happened to performance per thread, and it doesn't seem

It's not like it's the only thing that sounds a bit too hopeful. Driving content to a light-field display at a decent frame rate and a resolution "much higher than [4375 x 2300]" is orders of magnitude beyond any mobile

Or maybe it's just that maintaining the direct upgrade from Windows 7 is only going to be a bigger expense as the platforms diverge. I wouldn't be too surprised if they planned to retire that path completely and force people to in

>'Joyable' is not an English word I honestly just assumed it was some new piece of web development jargon (like "RESTful") that I had somehow missed, and kept reading assuming it would somehow explain itself.

The pricing is exactly the same, nor was the rationale ever to provide an edition for people who don't need a DVD player. You can still download and install those components freely after installing the OS.

That and Nvidia's OpenCL implementation is almost the bare minimum you can do to say you have one (unless things have changed significantly within the past year or so). Improvements to OpenCL libraries are unlikely to come from anyone
