Holy freaking cow. Having lived around different places in Europe, and visited many others, I have an impression that London has the best food of just any city in the EU. I can only compare places like Berkeley and SF, and some in Turkey an

Thin laptops do suck. Give us ports and keyboards! Is there a single instance of high-quality laptop on the market with a generous key travel these days? Thinkpads don't quite reach the feel of MBP 2015 keyboard for me. (Typing this on

Will there be forks? I remember Phoenix forked from Firefox. 0.99 was awesome, then Phoenix became Firefox after they overloaded the browser with crap.

Holy freaking cow - please no to this, and no to the thread below about "old annoying UI." Thunderbird is a workhorse. I process over 15,000 mails per quarter - manually. I write a lot, I read a lot, and Thunderbird is my home swe

This is pretty exciting but doesn't look very efficient and the Strehl ratio is probably going to be as high as looking through a bottle of water. The cost of a 100-meter Overwhelmingly Large Telescope (OWL) proposed in the 90s is arou

How about a state regulation prohibiting stores to sell anything with real money procurement and trading mechanisms inside as games? Anything that allows in-app purchases or trade should be re-classified, a "trading platform," per

I haven't touched any of those Linuxes yet run FreeBSD as my primary laptop OS, a home server and a few remote servers just fine. It takes more time to get FreeBSD running properly than, say, Debian, but nothing to put new users off. T

So we've got to panpsychism. Why not? We're in the company of Thales, Plato, Spinoza and Leibniz.

Great stuff. Also a big fan of OpenBSD, but what put me off eventually is lack of VMs, Wine and... speed. On Thinkpad T410 (ancient) it was noticeably slower than FreeBSD almost on any task, especially video playback in the browser. Not rea

I may be wrong but I don't think so. It is not suggested in the article. You'd need to know precisely how fast Venus was spinning when it had oceans. NewAtlas [0] interprets this as ancient ocean possibly being the culprit of Venu

I'm happy my computing platform does not depend on a single corporation. The shock vibrations of those people who developed for beloved Amigas and other amazing but now dead platforms must still be echoing throughout the universe.

Same here. I finally realized I really feel at home with macOS, expose, the dock and Spectacle, so I'm using xfce, skippy and plank. I wrote a bunch of scripts to resize windows to the left and right halves of screen, then to about 70%

I wonder if this is somehow similar to how PC clones reimplemented IBM PC's BIOS. Can this be used as a precedent in this case?

Holy cow, I like this old BYTE more. Like Computer Chronicles. I like how direct and no-bullshit the layout and all the graphics are. Ads are creative and fun, and the content is rich in ideas. Modern magazines often lack substance and soul

The whole Mortal Kombat thing has died long time ago. The last good release, IMO, was MK3. (I'm still playing it!) The game was about controlling your own rhythm and predicting your opponent - in the first place. Knowing "secret&q

I've never considered myself on the spectrum - well, maybe just a little bit. I find the subway to be soothing. The thing I hate most about buses, which run perfectly on schedule as well here, is that sometimes their route changes. The

My son (9 years old) is turning into a Fortnite addict. I'm blaming myself for allowing online games. I've built him a PC so he could learn how to program. Sometimes we experiment with Unity together, sometimes we spend time in Py

I'll probably be downvoted to hell, but I have to say this. I'm Ukrainian, so I have bias against anything related to Russian government, especially services pretending to be improving my privacy. So, my question is, what is DuckD

But wouldn't comparing U6 to U3 be misleading? U6 has always been a double of U3, more or less. Right now U6 looks like U6 in the late 90s.

Thanks. I don't use the Desktop Search that often but I think one can bind a shortcut to it. On the rsync, I can mount the remote file system and browse through the backups in the Double Commander or Thunar, so the graphical aspect is

Interesting. And I've recently moved to FreeBSD and let it imitate a Mac with Xfce, and I have graphics, Wi-Fi, black jack and hookers [1]. I never thought this level of imitation would be possible in the free world. [1] http:/&#

I am not a hardware expert but X1 Yoga feels somewhat more flimsy than MacBook Pro, although not as weak as a typical modern mid-range laptop out there. I mean, if I apply a little force I can bend it a little if it's open. Can't

With MacOS, I believe, they still know they're the best. As much as I'd want to move away from Apple because of their recent maneuvers, there's nothing that comes close to MacOS - it just works great. Users will see more appr

Thank you so much for posting this. Really, THANK YOU, kind stranger. Here in the Czech Republic we're always forced by doctors to do AE/TE to our son despite being mildly affected by strep as we are fighting PANDAS. The latest re

When I started learning Linux when it was, I think, 0.99, I appreciated that so many commands where cross-Unix. It was a Unix lookalike. I could watch how something is done on one Unix, type this stuff into my Linux terminal, and get an equ

I would add that there will always remain someone--the owner of the machine--who acts as the creative force powering his business innovation. This master puppeteer is the one who will be paying taxes, until we teach machines to be creative
