Given that we don't have $40 bills, I'm not sure this is a problem.

I don't follow that at all.

I think so, because they use stock gnome apps, Ubuntu + Gnome will keep the Unity forked versions of Gnome apps (iirc, I haven't gone this route in ~4 years, right). Plus its one less step, and if I'm trying to get someone to swit

I mean, a large number of the issues he wrote about seem directly related to Unity, even if similar problems occurred in other distros. The lack of even giving it a try just seems weird to me, given the amount of kvetching and problems the

For my personal installs I just run Arch with the latest version of Gnome stable. The reason I still suggest an Ubuntu derivative is because it's really easy to find instructions on how to do something, and their still mostly the same.

Ubuntu Gnome is my suggestion to people who want to try out Linux because it has most of the Ubuntu ease, but none of the Unity bloat.

My biggest question is why does the author keep trying to use Ubuntu and Unity, and not just switch to a different distro. My experience with Ubuntu has been really similar to his, 10.04 was the peak, I had a great setup with gnome 2, every

Where do they overlap? Or is it the product name? In which case it seems far more likely that they'll ask for the name to be changed first, before moving to litigation.

I mean, it sounds like it's basically just a fork of an old version of Gecko/SpiderMonkey, because it looks like it definitely doesn't have the same latest standards support that current versions of Firefox have (based on the

What even is the purpose of the Pale Moon browser? Their entire website can't give me any concrete reasons why someone would rather use this over Firefox.

How? How does the software get locked to a specific phone? And while it's certainly possible that someone could figure out what Apple's signing keys are, it's incredibly unlikely given how big the numbers we're dealing w

That still doesn't really help the libraries though. It just makes the content more accessible through illicit means.

I mean, minus the parts where the libraries wouldn't get any funding from this, and DriveThru/WotC are making all the profit off sales.

Wizards is partnered with them now. The DMGuild thing that the page is under is Wizard's platform for letting people publish original content coupled with WotC IP not covered by the OGL. I have some issues with how they handle IP once

I don't think that's an entirely fair assessment of what they've done. Most of their core apps are developed in house, or by a different group that I'm reasonably certain they fund (though I could be wrong on that point)

That's not really the GPL though, that's just because very few people run Linux without also running countless GNU utilities. The people that argue for calling it GNU + Linux don't bring the GPL into it at all.

That doesn't matter! Apple's entire argument, which I completely agree with, is that if they make this firmware, then it exists. It doesn't matter that they were only instructed to put it on one phone, once it's out ther

Ease of use from an administration perspective. Google provides great tools for admins to be able to manage fleets of chromebooks. From your average user's perspective, it also generally looks nicer than lxde and other lightweight DEs

In practice I'm not sure I see where a PotentiallyErorredResponse object that wraps a response and error together is different from returning a response and an error. The advantage of Optional over returning a value or null is partiall

MathNet was amazing, because I definitely watched it in some high school math classes.

At least in the Go community, it doesn't seem like people are ever saying generics as a concept are bad, but that there are very real tradeoffs involved in adding them to Go, and they're the kinds of tradeoffs the language designe

If you're going to mars, why strive for 1g when you can have .38g (Martian gravity), meaning you'd only need an 85 meter radius.

When you've got multiple authors of varying technical skill, it's probably significantly easier to give them a nice web server backend to interact with than it is to try and teach them how to use the generator.

It probably has to do with two things: who's building it; and that blogs are both generally non-dynamic and updated frequently.

There's very little incentive to accept card only. Cash, unlike credit or debit cards, doesn't carry an interchange fee, which means the full amount is going to the business, instead of losing some money to interchange.

The wiki is just a git repository of markdown files. You can grab that and use a local text editor if you want, though that's not integration with the app (but I'm also partial to using the command line).

But you've also given them a non-exclusive and irrevocable right to use it as they want (with limitations, you'd need to read their exact policy to be sure). So while you may retain the copyright, you could very easily have signed

Do you have the wood attached in any way, or is it just freestanding on the scaffolds?

This is entirely off topic, but I'm starting to think about making my own desk at home. How'd you do that, what did you use? Your desk looks great, and worth emulating.
