Powershell doesn't but not everything is powershell. Win32 underneath pokes its head out occasionally. And I don't want to use powershell. It's horrid in so many ways. I'm a Unix user since about '93 for ref as well

The big problem is the filesystem is still vastly different. The web, Unix, Linux, OSX, pretty much everything other than Microsoft uses properly namespace driven forward-slash separated paths with no drives and case sensitivity. That you c

I was a systemd proponent until I had a hosed box. At that point I learned that alternatives are important. It made my life very difficult due to how opaque it is. Whike problems are surmountable, rehearsing for failure is advised.

Nope just internal screen. This was a clean install too. On 2013 rMBP.

And now I'm sad. This was one of the reasons I never adopted Linux on a laptop. Power management simply never worked. I used Windows for many years on a ThinkPad with Linux in a VM but this felt dirty. Bought a Mac and life was good. W

This is lost on me because I’ve had to reinstall Windows 10 twice this year. Boot loop and latent network on a Thinkpad T440. Before that, I did it once a year going back to NT3.51

None of MSFT’s innovation actually works properly though. If they just invented the light bulb you’d have to replace it once an hour.

That's exactly what I was using mine for. << INV SWAP INV + INV >> 'RPAR' STO Then I realised I don't bother with it. Can get close enough in my head. I only want to solve for one variable so the Casio

It's always the software that is the problem however. Not sure I like eInk displays at all.

Emacs is a class of editor these days, not a specific editor.

I get the feeling it will never happen. The nearest thing to this was the TI Voyage 200. Everything went downhill after that.

No it doesn't. It's really just a scientific calculator with a solver built in. It handles perhaps 95% of my requirements pretty well. Anything more complicated than that heads to a mac. I've been using scipy, matplotlib and

As a former RPL programmer out of self interest, I think I’d rather gouge my eyes out now. It’s one of those languages, like Perl, where you come back to a project later and can’t understand any of it or remember how to write it. I respect

Streaming allows you to pull the whole album rather than making arbitrary choices though which is a good thing. It has however wrecked my attention span which I’m trying to fix. I bought a CD player with a monitor output and some CDs and so

Just applying selinux policy on CentOS 7 will kill the CPU credits on a micro instance. Running updates is a risky businesss.

This is really good news. Enough for me to hold onto my Z620 for a bit longer.

If you get them crammed into one hour then yes. In your own time they are quite easy. I required a bit of tutor support if I'm honest but if you can get over the basic calculus hill you will be fine. There's a lot more material ou

Agree with this. I rather like HyperPhysics here: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/index.html

They are however terrible at remembering to delegate them from experience!

Yes and no. The textbooks we were given were reference structured. Ergo the path through them was defined by the lectures and the course which was mostly undocumented. There needs to be a course guide that spans the entire material with ind

Hard course (electrical engineering, laplace fun!), shit lecturer (complacent, dismissive of questions), skipped lecture (never although I probably should have just stuck my face in the course books).

I don't want a video. I want the material written down in a formal tutorial style that can be reviewed and updated and consumed at a suitable pace. That pace can be faster for the bits I understand and slower for the bits I don't.

To clarify, I too was before the time of laptops and recording technology being available. MiniDiscs had just come on the scene then and the notes are worth nothing without what appears on the OHP and the contextual timing of them. Video re

I will sit there in a meeting (or retrospectively in a university lecture) and regularly derive nothing of value at all from my notes, be they written or typed. It's the media that is wrong, not the note taking medium. You can't r

I thought the same as my vision isn't exactly great, but you can tell the difference and I wouldn't go back. At least between my old ThinkPad T440 (1440x900) and my 15" rMBP that is.

Indeed. Assholes we need. But we got the freedesktop/gnome and poettering assholes instead of the right assholes.

I’d rather have a German breakfast for lunch but that’s impossible here. I have some German blood, from Essen, which is a town of great eaters apparently. Doritos it is instead. Although I’ve taken to getting popcorn with my lunch now. It’s

Decent home made sandwiches is an art that isn’t common in the UK for certain. However they limp simple things have two characteristics that the others don’t have: they will taste no worse after four hours banging around on public transport

I’m glad I’m not alone in enjoying the marked down pricing of a breakfast triple. There is nearly a fight to the death on the sandwiches here if they are in short supply.
