I won't deny that there are many many users that do not care. However, I disagree that there is a real choice in the current duopoly. Android allows you to install applications outside the app store. However, you trade this possibility

Which is a valuable lesson - a lesson in learning to be a rational, critical, grown-up human being. Or we could educate them and it might never happen. Also, let's not forget that many closed system are spyware already. Many of us beca

Apple and Google not only created the device and funded the R & D for the features, but also created the APIs, the tools, the infrastructure, and attracted the (hundreds of millions of) users. The 30% cut they ask of developers is more

I think the enthusiasm for LYAH should also be seen in context. Real World Haskell was the first book that made it to a wider audience. And while was is full of useful information, it is a very uneven book that works badly as an introductio

Can confirm, I use a NitroKey Start (which is a gnuk token) with that curve. I have used it for GPG signing/encryption and SSH authentication without any issues.

NixOS has ZFS. I don't have long-term experience (switched to NixOS only two months ago or so), but the installation is pretty simple: (1) boot he installer CD, (2) add a line to your configuration to enable ZFS support, (3) switch to

HiDPI works well on the latest GNOME with Wayland. I use a 4k display at home with the amdgpu driver and it works great. I have also hooked up a non-4k Dell Ultrasharp display and with Wayland, both displays can use different DPIs. The Qt a

Windows 95 did not run on a 286, the 286 was very limited in running real mode (8086/88) applications concurrently in protected mode (it did not have the virtual 8086 mode that the 386 had). The minimum requirement of Windows 95 was an

To many practitioners (people using HPC rather than people designing HPC), HPC means an aggregation of computing resources to deliver orders of magnitude of higher performance than one could get from a single workstation. Obviously if you

This is the key aspect of actual HPC clusters that appears to be missing from the pretenders. That completely depends on your workload. For example, we did (natural language) parsing on thousands of CPUs on one of the large European compu

Ok, a poor man's supercomputer then ;). I think such projects are great to experiment with parallel computing, get experience with ARM, and just plain fun.

It depends on whether 'installing' only means the installation or the installation and configuration of hardware. Because once you have installed Arch, configuration is probably easier on the average machine due to wider hardware
