The idea that Linux needs consistency is correct,albeit difficult to achieve. I doubt pop os will make 2018 the year of the linux desktop. Making every app conform to the gnome guidelines on an underdog desktop platform where many interesti

Your suggestions may work inside a company. E-mail is the only federated system we've left. If you need to contact somebody outside it, you're screwed. XMPP/Jabber could have solved some of this, but it's pretty dead rig

One things that comes to my mind is: when I was starting using Python, I was eager to mock Java people and their absurd approach (write everything in Java, specify a full classpath for all dependency, etc). I pointed out as it was easy and

I've always had a question about those stats. "Drive days" seems a key figure; but 1000 drive days may mean 100 drive with 10 days each, or 10 drives with 100 days each. This kind of metric implies that the chance of failing

I feel very, very strange that payment processors can act that way. It's not the first time I hear about such things, other times it has happened with Paypal or Stripe. I mean that's some users' fault, isn'it it? Isn&#x2

Oh yes, python packaging sucks. That may not be well understood. But the languages that handle distribution very well are just a few, that i know of (jvm based, .net based, go, possibly js with all the tools that exist) and there'll be

We have started our research by acknowledging that the so-called "skill gap" exists - especially for the tech sector. Fresh graduates are usually missing some skills to perform properly at their first job. One critical question: w

Slightly off topic: I've always found twitter-style blocking totally nonsensical. I mean: you've got a public account. Blocking should prevent people from replying or tweeting at you, and from sending you DMs, maybe even retweetin

If you can stand Windows, there're tons of good laptops around. If you can live with Linux, there're some few decent laptops. If you want MacOS... you're a bit screwed, today.
