The idea is that some VC money follows them to Canada, which has always been what you guys lacked in comparison to SV. So this will be good for native (??) Canadians too.

Even without having read the article (the site is down for me) I can say this is a wise decision. Currently the 64-bit arm cpu can also run 32-bit code. To support this it contains a 32-bit emulation layer that also exists in a few other pl

Off topic: I had to use vim on remote machines that didn't have emacs. Then I discovered mg, a tiny emacs clone that is even smaller than the original vi... So ... thank you openbsd folks for including it in the base system.

Aren't all these configurable in Windows? I'm pretty sure you can set it exactly the way you want...

I can confirm this works reasonably well and includes xcode and some other stuff IIRC.

app -> x server -> display -> your eyes How is this different from native Linux?

This is simply not true. The amount of time updating "skins" add to the development is relatively small. Haven't you noticed that even companies with almost stock android are having trouble keeping up with these updates? Beca

What are you talking about? Exactly what is the "hack" here?

There is zero coordination between Google, Linux devs and Qualcomm (and Samsung et al). Why are you then surprised that this happens???

People blaming carries and manufacturers for late updates: Is there any other product where the manufacturer must redo half of the product at the whim of a third party? Google needs to work with these companies, not as it is today throw a p

How good is blackberrys track record with their first android? I'm not a bb guy but I might buy one if I switch to android next.

1. Yes it's basically Ubuntu 14.04 minus the gui 2. How can you say you can't use Windows if you haven't used one since xp??

> How do you set up cron in such a way that your cron job runs on a machine somewhere, and will continue to do so for a long period of time? Use supervisord? Or (god forgive me) systemd services?

Yeah, I find that hilarious. Cron is probably over of the simplest unix-y things you will ever encounter. I am also getting tired of this "npm all things" mentality. I don't want to install npm and a ton of npm packages to do

A better strategy: 1. Wait a while 2. Buy them cheap 3. Wait some more 4. Now they are even cheaper, duhhh!

That's really odd, I haven't seen a blue screen for ages and even then it was a hardware problem (faulty RAM).

I type too fast as it is, I would rather have something that slows me down. If you think fast typing makes you a better programmer chances are you are a typist and not a programmer.

This version is not developed by the original developer (Gorhil). Given what happened after the previous ublock splitt iam hesitant to use it.
173.
by bostand 10y ago
Not entirely, you can always use PPAs and alike. There are also these universal package formats that some directly from the developers.

by bostand 10y ago
There is at least one (can't remember which) that allows users to install packages locally.

Thanks, will give it a try when back at work

Can you explain to me the benefit of this compared to a traditional programming font like the Microsoft Consolas?

But then you will completely miss all the advantages of the new platform has while getting mad at everything that doesnt work exactly as in osx. You will be running back to osx in no time after a horrifying Linux experience. So take my ad

In what sense? I don't think I've ever used mpv, I am really curious why you believe it is better. The reason ive stuck with vlc is because it can handle anything you throw at it, and has a responsive and minimal UI. If I find any
