It's meant to reduce distractions, and focus only on a single text column :)

Brain activity aside, I would recommend everybody to exercise at least half an hour in the evening. It guarantees a nice feeling of tiredness at night, and sleep comes easily. Works wonders for me.

I've been using gmvault for months without even a warning message. It's great.

Hi Andrew, sorry to hijack the thread. Just wanted to say you guys are doing an amazing job at full-text email searching. Do you have any paper on that? I know Google publishes research papers and technical reports but couldn't find one abo

It is a very good idea. However, I feel that there is something off. Maybe the excess clicking. Maybe that it's not clear whether a paragraph is expanded or collapsed. Don't want to discourage you, quite the opposite. Give it some more thou

I don't think it's fair to treat him this way. Except for the kernel, pretty much everything I use is GNU or was inspired by GNU. From the coreutils to the window environment, passing through the compiler, most linux systems are half GNU. B

Whoa, that's exactly it. Now at least I know what to look for. Thanks for the reference!

My grandfather, a regular country man, is horrorized by the amount of choices he has. Nowadays there is a remote for the TV with a lot of buttons, another for the video decoder, with more buttons, and another for the radio, with yes, more b

At first I thought I would read a rant about current user interfaces, but the article turned out to be well thought, smartly written and, above all, it doesn't discuss interfaces _per se_. It goes up a meta level and proposes eliminating in

I'm curious, are there any active newsgroups worth visiting and discussing? I used to roam some groups until about 2003, but most of them are pretty much abandoned now, and I haven't been able to find the same level of discussion on the Int

Do rpm-based managers still work out the package dependences incorrectly, take a long time to download the headers, and generally break constantly? Honest question, I haven't used an RPM-based distro since a couple of years ago. Last was op

Yes, yes, of course. My point is that even traditional mainframes users are now moving towards regular supercomputers, because of its convenience.

Hey, maybe you are very good at address and data organizing. I'm serious. It's just so difficult for the majority of us. As relix said, if you find that easy, you'll make a lot of money working as a GPU programmer. That being said, there ar

We also work with banks and process huge amount of data, but we don't use those kind of mainframes. I'm not saying nobody uses them, but rather that there is a trend to use a NoSQL database on a regular Linux system rather than z/OS. It's e

I work with supercomputers. Mainframes are very, very extended nowadays. Researchers use them, the government uses them, some big business use them. From my point of view, there are four "mainframe" concepts, and one of them is not a monoli

Talking from experience, VirtualBox doesn't play well with Steam games (or games in general). For me, Terraria was buggy and the graphics had some glitches. Half-Life had mouse issues, etc. I used to buy Parallels but they use the same upda

Great, here's a discussion I've wanted to have for a long time. I very much appreciate the effort, but quoting yesterday's phk article, "Quality happens only when someone is responsible for it". In another yesterday's news, on Reddit they a

Thank you so much for this explanation. For me, the big question was about whether email providers supported key signing without having to click on an email. Now I see that both ways work the same.

Okay, I have read the specs, the FAQ, the diagrams, and tried some examples, but I can't really understand how it works. Could somebody do a quick summary for me? I would appreciate it very much.

I have the same problem and found a solution, maybe it helps for you. 1password supports Dropbox integration, and it provides a web page inside your dropbox account (i.e. password protected) that you can log into with your master password t

Have you watched the video? They add some stuff to the ipad's default keyboard, like braces, < and >, and contextual elements.

I got one and never connected it to a computer. It is just not necessary anymore.

If I'm not mistaken, you cannot create dummy accounts. Every account needs to be activated on a machine which doesn't have another copy of dropbox, and this means that you can't have multiple 2GB accounts running at the same time at the sam

Really? As a geek and out of curiosity, I've tried to force myself to use it for a whole day to test its results, and gosh, they are really bad. I know the difficulty to make a web search engine, and I appreciate DDG's effort on privacy, bu

I've read this line of reasoning many times, and it's like saying "Hitler needed to kill 6 million jews to that people would realize he's a bad guy". No, the correct action would be to fix the system, not to cause a catastrophe so that "reg

Stylish is the keyword here. We've always seen "futuristic watches" on TV shows from the 80s, which looked cool, but after a few seconds you realize that you would only wear them if they were stylish and not a piece that screams "nerd!" whe

"Danielle started her PhD at 17" -- Thanks for ruining my monday! Just kidding, awesome idea. We're so used to IT startups that we often forget about other engineering. Very cool stuff.
