Looks like this is as close to Sublime Text for ARM I'm gonna get! (haven't tried to compile it yet, but I can't see why I couldn't). Best of luck with the project.

I'm not claiming this to be a priori knowledge; that's how causality works, I don't know that Barack Obama was elected because I chose not to eat a cheeseburger in 1999. RMS laid the foundations for the free software movemen

I didn't realise how important free software was until I started using an ARM laptop for day-to-day work. Absolutely tiny userbase, barely any binary packages, but I could clone and make my way to everything I needed. Without RMS and

Sure, but is there work in graph theory outside of academia? Obviously there are people who use it to solve real problems but I'm unsure if you can really get a job as a graph guy.

Not exactly on topic, but the biggest usability flaw in HN is the inability to minimise a post (and its child comments), coupled with no hiding of child comments a million levels deep (this I'm fine with, if you could hide posts). Hav

Kinda silly given they tell you the base...it'd be cooler if they didn't give you the base and you had to play with it until you had something that fit the phone numbers in the area that the company is in Also, where's the st

I'm guessing something like HURD, some people will still work on it but it won't be the focus of anything. I haven't had any success with Gnash, it can (choppily) play YouTube (which now has HTML5) and nothing else worked.

There are heaps of open source projects that do the same thing. Count the text editors, window managers, game emulators, audio players, the list goes on forever. This is the _second_ kernel in the same kind of space.

Seems like the perfect advertiser for 4chan. A lot of traffic, the ads are ALWAYS for porn so people will notice, and the user-base never leaves the house.

I think this has bugger all to do with women in IT and everything to do with abhorrent high schoolers and a lack of discipline. This kind of harassment should be strictly punished and for some reason the article only discusses the culture

If nothing else, Wakefield has been a great example of the cost of scientific fraud. As a science major, I've had Wakefield drilled into me; befrauding a paper for money/fame/whatever leads to public opinion preventing herd

The paper saying that the MMR vaccine causes autism (which is where the whole concept came from) was fraudulent, so it's not just "well, a side effect is better than the disease", it's total misguidance. Also, here'

On regular laptops, you open the lid and press the "On" button. On my Chromebook, it boots as soon as you open the lid, and so I press Ctrl-D instead of the "On" button. I thought it'd be a pain, but it doesn'

This is just like Google blocking Maps on Windows Phone; there's a video where someone changed the agent from "Windows Phone 8" to "Windows Phne 8" and suddenly maps.google.com actually worked. I'm not a Micro

I believe Unity is getting a lighter rewrite for 14.04 (at the latest) so there's that. I don't think they should have canned Unity2D like they did.

Python itself will allow you to do that (have an indent by 4 spaces, and a tab character on the next line) as far as I know, IDLE won't run though. Not that anyone should ever use IDLE.
