I thought OLED burn-in was something I'd have to just deal with down the road when I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro S (windows tablet), and that the machine was going to be on a two year countdown before becoming annoying. So far it&#

The hardware looks slick, but are my emails going to bounce when my not commercial comcast/spectrum/at&t/whoever has a maintenance outage? I'm not sure it's too useful to bring that out of the datacenter and in

For all that the outline is an insane looking site with 3/4 screen ads, it is also true that it doesn't do any of the shenanigans (redirection, slowing down the page to load ads, etc.) that the author calls out in the article.

Hopefully now we can all agree on Wayland and start moving a little faster towards {application,driver,etc} support and capabilities. I feel like Ubuntu's Mir pushing was one of the big things holding back Wayland from widespread suppo

This is extra lazy on their part if this is legitimately an effort to hit the enterprise market, where users might not necessarily have the freedom to install Chrome on their company machines. Or it's an attempt to force corporate IT i

I've never used surf, but I really do like tabbed. It plays super nicely with most tiling window managers I've used, and lets me get the single best feature (ymmv) of i3 on xmonad.

Can confirm. My MA research was on an EMD Li-ion cathode material and I get approached by recruiters for companies I haven't even heard of every so often.

I immediately love that this is taught in Haskell. I hadn't learned how excellent Haskell is for (non-hpc) computational physics until well into my Masters, where I began to replace my python analysis scripts. And it's a far sight

So, my company issued development machine is a beefy desktop full of xeons and graphics cards (necessary for the specific work I do). It's fantastic for 95% of my work life but sometimes I want a computer in a meeting with me to take s

About time-- I always thought it was absurd for them to keep apt-get and apt-cache separate "for historic reasons." I used to have the hardest time explaining that the occasional new ubuntu users (to say nothing of all the people

Many linux distros release a new version every 6-12 months, depending on the distro. While ubuntu offers 5 years of support on long-term support (lts) releases, desktop users tend to like the latest version and reinstall or upgrade every 6

I just finished my massdrop ergodox a few weeks ago, and I'm loving it. One of the things I like the most about it is the way the left and right hands are separate, allowing me to keep them about shoulder width apart in a very natural

I do this pretty often, and people pretty much always complain. Less so people my age (college-aged), but a lot of professors, TAs, and my parents all claim that it's entirely too creepy. My parents have actually told me that they&#x27

While I'm sure that was all super meaningful to actual designers, that was probably the funniest thing I've read all week. Particularly page 21's "magnetic dynamics."

In my experience, they let you fly with one blade if it's loaded in the razor itself. They did, however, make me throw out my spares when they told me this. I've found that if I'm not checking a bag, the trip is usually short

I've been hoping that they might roll the iOS app store into the Mac App Store, and consolidate it all under the App Store banner.
