I don't see truth in your statement that core people did not want to defend him. Shitstorm happened mostly by outsiders/ignorants. He didn't want to continue in such a climate. Joyent wrote a blog post that ruined their reput

Why not, what do you mean? If you buy an Android phone you can use Firefox with adblock [1] and the ads are gone. [1]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/adblock-edge/...

I have only read about it and seen pictures. If there are that many guns, it escalades much faster and probably a policeman is more afraid also. In Germany / Switzerland policeman still often feel kind of normal people and are rather r

There is not much choice, either the closed Apple ecosystem or the open Google ecosystem which aggregates your data. Everything else is unpopular. Personally I use a Jolla phone but this doesn't help an app developer who needs to make

They swallow their anger because they have no real alternative. It's the job of legislation to prevent such abbreations.

This is wonderful. Just one more example what happens if countries allow _closed_ app distribution systems. What a wonderful world with nice critical/ironical phone stories ( http://phonestory.org/index.html.. . I wish t

R is a 'rip-off' / open source re-implementation of the commercial S language by John Chambers. (There are some differences in scoping iirc). Haven't many of its 'modern' PL constructs already been used in Lisp

The language might experience the 'peak R' point right now. 'Badass' statistic packages but R always felt a bit 'hacked together'. With Julia on the other hand, I get the impression that there are developers in

One step after another. Sailfish is not yet fully matured, better sail slowly. I think there are/will be enough people who are looking to an alternative to the apple-android-(wp)-mainstream, jolla will do well imho.

Pigs! Apple should be enforced to carry a non-closed app store. Apple would bow if the alternative were to loose European market. Don't understand that Europe accepts such huge /closed/ application ecosystems. (Android is ope

And if outside money helps curing e.g. a women in Kenya will she on the other hand restrict the number of babies she'll have to one or two? Without such 'contracts' watsi is - imho - bullshit.

The problem is if you switch between Mac and Linux computers (and sometimes Windows): it's highly annoying when the 'shortcut-muscle-memory' has to 'think'... With KeyRemap4MacBook I could 'linux-standardize&#x

by chappi42 12y ago
A bit shallow. For me the main problem was that Macs had a completely different shortcut layout than Windows and Linux. With 'KeyRemap4MacBook' I was able to get consistency across the different platforms (not perfect but ~ok).

Thanks for the numbers. It was on OSX. Checking out some different flashcard options I was surprised about the 30 MB size for Anki. - But yeah, 30 is not 'huge' nowadays... I'm likely still spoiled by old Delphi applications.

Brrr, I didn't like, much too complicated and - I hope I remember correctly - the install size was huge. (But it's free so what shall I complain? And people here seem to have a different view than me)
