   I generally try to aim for 80, but have 120 as my "hard" limit. In find it a good place to have two files open side by side and still have a little bit left over for editor UI stuff.

   These attempts at 3D UIs never really caught on, but I wonder if they might make a comeback with VR.

   I had a similar experience upgrading my laptop(though I initiated the upgrade on purpose). Just crapped out, but an apt install -f followed by a dist-upgrade fixed it all and it seems to have worked.

   I don't mind being showed ads. It's being packed up and sold as the product I have a problem with.

   For Chromebooks that's a problem, but if I'm not mistaken, the "cloudbook" moniker is meant for Windows Laptops with Chromebook-like hardware(though the name may cover Chromebooks too, I'm not sure). In those cases,

   I have two kids, a son 5 and a daughter 8 who spend a lot lot of their free time on Minecraft(pocket edition on Kindle Fires). I'm kind of amazed at the kind of stuff they come up with. My daughter mostly uses for "artwork" b

   Both part of "Gnome Office" along with a few other applications as native GTK+ office applications. Though I guess it's probably be more of a collection than a well connected suite like MS Office, LibreOffice or even whatever

   I used it back when OpenOffice was just too slow and bloated to use very well on most computers I owned ~10 years ago and earlier. But through a combination of improved OpenOffice/LibreOffice performance and faster computers, I finally

    Mostly tried it and got used to it. I liked the defaults a lot more than I do vim(nothing some plugins, a good .vimrc, etc can't fix), and I found it much more natural to use extensions that I ever did vim, so once I got Atom matching

    I'm a long time vim user who's switched mostly to Atom(at least for bigger projects, vim is still my "quick fix" editor). Last time I tried VS Code(6ish months ago?), I liked it all right, but stuck with Atom because at

    Having sleep apnea diagnosed while you're in the military also gets you a disability rating by the VA so you're considered a disabled veteran.

    For some older games and applications, they run on Wine better than newer Windows, so that might actually be a useful.

    I don't do preorders, but I'd like to pick one of these up if/when they ever become generally available. I guess the storage/bluetooth/wife are worth the extra $4 over the Pi Zero, and the USB TTY be default is hand

    I think I'm going to give this a shot on my daughters Chromebook. I tried Ubuntu on in a couple of times, but it always seems that updates are a moving target. I had to do a reinstall and had to try to find the right kernel version whe

    Interesting. I've been toying with a similar, but slightly different pay per article microtransaction idea. I guess I might as well see what the competition is doing.

    Weird. I can click on that link and it forces a redirect to the HTML view, but I can copy/paste it to a private window(i.e. not logged into Google) and it works fine.

    Is it just me, or the link not really to a spreadsheet. I was hoping to filter the data so I could compare my salary, but I'm just getting a big ol' useless HTML table that looks kind of like a spreadsheet.

    I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm guessing this is more tied to the .Net moves to Linux and getting their full web stack on Linux. Though if their long term strategy is to give up Windows Server, then everything may come to Linux.

    Nice. Maybe we'll see some legal "arcade collections" from publishers who can now ship their own versions of MAME.

    I still prefer email as my communication tool of choice. Sure it may take some self discipline to ignore it and treat it as asynchronous when you need to be doing something else, but at least there's a lot less pressure to respond that
