Please tell me you ordered RedHat CDs from CheapBytes as well! I started using Slackware Linux in 1994. I was 12 and it was the best way to get a lot of software for free (I only cared about 'free as in beer' then). Around 98ish

From what I’ve seen this is usually what happens when the parent company wants to close the service down. Not always. Fastmail was bought (back) from Opera by employees and they are doing fine.

The MacBook was a low spec machine for students and such. The MacBook Aluminium was everything but a low spec machine (in fact, they sold it a year later as 'MacBook Pro') and I bought it for 1050 Euro new in 2009. The plastic M

But it is six years later and that $1299 MBP still comes with an 128 GB SSD. And I agree with your parent poster. In 2009 I bought a MacBook aluminium for ~1050 Euro. Later I replaced the memory by 8GB and the hard disk by an SSD. You could

They released the 3.1 in May and it seems that they bumped up the specs quite a bit (4 to 8 core, 2 to 3GB RAM, 32GB storage). https://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Nokia-3.1,Nokia-3/... Last week I bough

I disagree, it can be done below $400. The first two generations of the Moto G where really awesome for the price (< $200). They had vanilla Android, frequent updates, reasonably good screens and were fast. I used one for a while full ti

I have been using NixOS for a week now. I am curious, could you give more details? I haven't tried any games, but Plasma is accelerated.

Put differently, why would anyone in their right mind use OS/2 to browse the web, given that it misses more than two decades in development of security techniques. As far as I understand Mensys and now Arca Noae never had the source co

This was never true. Except that this was true. I do not remember the exact details, because this was the end of 2015 or beginning of 2016. But dumping/freezing definitely failed on some graphs constructed with Keras. There was no o

I was also told that doing it the real way using Tensorflow would be the way to go and I agree with that sentiment if my problem was Google scale which it wasn't. Use the right tool for the job. Keras can get you to a working model f

The Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard does not have loud switches, but feels much better than the Magic Keyboard. Only the function keys are not great.

One just has to know which situations the GC can't cope with and avoid them. Unfortunately, many programmers believe that since Java uses garbage collection, you do not have to think about GC and ownership at all. Oracle had to repla

Except that it almost none of the GNOME applications do. To give some examples: Files (Nautilus) shows some icons and 5 actual menu items. You have to guess what the icons do, only the zooming icons are somewhat clear. There are no keyboard

My gripe with GTK3 are tiny, auto-hiding scroll bars. And the abandoning of menus, which I guess is mostly encouraged by the GNOME HIG: Menu bars increase the vertical footprint of an application’s user interface, introduce a large numbe

I didn’t say it is less readable. I said it is more opaque. After all, there is still a type parameter implicitly. It is also inconsistent, because you still need type parameters on types or in cases where the type trait is defined on the i

I use Homebrew, but you have to prefix most GNU utilities by 'g', unless you are willing to 'override' Darwin's utilities by having the GNU counterparts earlier in the path. Besides that, Homebrew does not solve the

This was true until drm-next-kmod and drm-stable-kmod ports appeared. Now you have very similar Linux and FreeBSD graphics experience. Which are, respectively, based on 4.9 and 4.11 in ports. The AMD has made large strides since then. In
