efi/uefi seems to be a solved problem for ubuntu. I'm running Linux Mint on Asus UX31A (which would be best laptop ever if it was more reliable) installed all-by-default without _any_ problems, even with hotkeys and touchpad. Also

Whatever the people think of these -isms being bad, I am convinced that a person has a sort of right to not having to deal with people he doesn't like.

More than that, some people are antisocial and/or sad, yet are very good engineers. So employers and colleagues should be really interested in having those around, especially if they don't want to bother you with non-technical thi

Are you sure they'll allow you to leave the country in this case? They have no-fly list and border control after all.

You're no better then Russia then, just think of it. Only you don't enjoy the general public' understanding that the government is your enemy and friends must be protected from it.

take it away and give her some prison time, in this case. The problem is, of course, that in the prison she will be taught how to steal professionally, so an ideal rehabilitative prison should prevent any contact between inmates.

Currently reading Atlas Shrugged, this story is amusing. I'm afraid that book is more relevant that I would wish.

In light of recent mass surveillance uproars, the possibility of remote eye tracking technology is what really scares me. While the technological usage could be limited or masked, such attention detector and analyzer could give enourmous po

Could also be useful to downscale images using the 'high contrast downscale' filter (as we call it in our lab; maybe this isn't the common name). For each set of pixels to become one, you compute min, max and mean, and select

It's exactly the opposite: any random noise could be assumed to be encrypted data and therefore you can be jailed for being unable to decrypt the noise.

Tags would be useful, but the UI aesthetics could be better too: now it's too plain and minimalistic. Look at Yandex Mail for example: it's just less boring. I guess you could attract much greater audience by adding theme support

It's a replacement for VIM so good that in most cases the IDE becomes unnecessary, because the notion of 'project' and various GoTo and search commands solve all navigation needs. It even has a rudimentary build system suppor

It's implemented for almost everything, and has a good keyboard support. Guess it was there from the very beginnging.

There's sshfs for linux, use whatever editor you want. I still hadn't find a decent client for Windows though.

What use is of the mini-map? Navigation is better done by search, and I cannot imagine it could be more than a cute waste of screen space.

Visualizations, e.g. I have a script that composes a huge image from road traffic video which you can see at different scales. In raster it would be something like 200 MPx for desired level of detail, whereas in PDF you can freely mix raste

Yes, but such mistake, once made, is very hard to notice (because you never do this, you don't look for it), so it may well lead to a fatal disaster. Hence 'once in a lifetime'.
