will it open another instance if one is already open, or switch over to it?

Yep, same here. It's kinda like my 'scratch space' - a quick place to drop downloads, screenshots, work on them a bit, and have them easily accessible from all workspaces.

DSTMT/statement density plot is nice to see. Although it wasn't my time, I've seen early code (or code from very memory-limited machines), and always been amazed out how tightly packed it seems to be. And remarkably unread

Yes, they dropped the nicest bits of Unity. The Mutiny layout in UbuntuMATE 18.04 is really nice, and they've implemented the HUD, global menu, titlebar integration, and it's got HiDPI support now. I think multimonitors is still a

I moved to uMatrix because of this[1]. That doesn't seem very practical to me. Don't you need javascript to view, say, youtube videos? Also to make almost any sort of purchase transaction too. I do think it's a shame that

uMatrix is very nice. Gives you fine granular control over scripts like noscript does.

When I got my Nokia E90 back in 2007, I loved the power of having GPS, internet, maps on-tap. But it never intruded on me, and I wasn't addicted to it. I just used it when it was useful. But something has changed since then. I'

I just don't see Go ever becoming a good language for numerical computing. There was such a push with implementing [multidimensional arrays in Go]( https://github.com/golang/go/issues/6282 ) but it looks

You also know where they live, where they work, when they are on holiday, when they are out taking a stroll in the woods... Even if you trust 'Facebook' with that data, do you trust a facebook employee?

I think the business sector needs to have a look at the way consent is done in the medical field, where huge terms and conditions with nasty stuff hidden away isn't ok. The concept in medicine is that consent for treatment is done in a

This is probably one of the most authoritative source on whether Vit D is good for you [1]. I was never much of a believer, but this article prompted me to reinvestigate it, and I'm surprised to see that there is an effect if you&#x27

I totally understand the shift in thinking that you get when you become immersed in open-source - you realise how it's possible for all the elements of your system to play well with each other because it's possible for the authors

And this is the concern of agreements like TTIP, where companies can sue government policies that result in lost revenue. Obviously there are some benefits - i.e. governments deliberately creating regulations that make competition difficult

Your work sounds fascinating. I was previously into my photography, specifically film (both slide and col neg) - I'm still a big fan of the medium, except for the expenses and faff of getting a good scan and then getting the colour ri

I'm going to have to give it another go then, though I do love my MATE desktop. The last time I tried it, I got frustrated when working with a lot of pdf sources - hitting the super key just presented me with a myriad of white rectangl

Yes, this is something I do to on linux, and it's great particularly when you're doing something that gets quite messy with lots of windows open - when you're working with lots of files, or you the program (like GIMP) opens u

Not everyone is capable of keeping up with modern life, being responsible for bills, payments, admin, forms etc.. particularly if it is made deliberately convoluted, or if there is a concurrent medical issue.

'lamentable' is such a passive word to describe someone's life becoming a living hell and ruin. Not everyone is able to organise their life, not everyone is clever or successful, and certainly most people do not shape their
