I also find the GPD pocket hugely desirable (as someone who grew up on the greatness of Psion organisers, Nokia communicators, N900 etc..), but I'm surprised you'd use it as a laptop replacement - surely too small? My preference f

Do you remember when people (well linux people) used to say that Microsoft pressured companies into not providing linux? Was that true?

Can anyone explain to me why he got better performance with GC turned on (and optimised) rather than off?

Can anyone tell me how secure web browsers are on linux generally. I was looking at the pwn2own results and was quite impressed with the edge compromise that got out of the host OS it was running in. However, I didn't see any web bro

The latest macbook pros essentially don't work well with linux. I think wifi isn't a solved issue still, for example.

I don't see how Apple makes use of that power. After experiencing the general slickness of the pixel and it's awesome HDR abilities, then observing the iPhone calculator input/ animation lag, I would say that extra power isn

Is this seen in ARM?

Interesting. I've worked at a few hospitals in the UK (not in IT) and all of them do a generator test one a week. However they do it, only one of them lost all power (for a couple of seconds) every week. It was quite disruptive, but

The other thing to mention is that medics are trained from an early stage to be able to present their thoughts concisely on a regular basis to impatient senior doctors. 'present your findings' (and 'hurry up') is someth

It worries me when I read an article like this, then see people in the comments suggesting that they're stopping their PPI prescription. Which ironically might increase their chance of cancer, depending on the indication. Even at the

Hopefully the next generation Thinkpad ?A485 will have these chips - would be the ideal linux coders laptop.

I guess that's what happens when you give autonomy to trusts to commission/contract their IT as they see fit. You could argue it is part of a political movement to create a free market around healthcare, which has seen healthcare

People should know that Ubuntu-mate with mutiny layout is an alternative for some. Unlike 17.10, it keeps the global menus and HUD, but not the launcher (uses synapse instead).

Sounds like you've joined somewhere that has already long drawn-out political battle lines. It would probably take years to figure out what the history is behind this. I suspect the difficult time you are having is likely because you

Yes, it's a strange article in that on the face of it they take a philosophical, almost game-theory approach to how it works (with some pretty big assumptions of course), but at times it ventures into the medieval belief system itself.

I can hear Shuttleworth swearing right now.

Yes, and there isn't a great history with getting surface's to work well with linux - though I think things are much better now. Still, probably much easier than getting linux on it than a macbook pro.

Yes, the attitude is slightly different with that crowd. They are more cathedral than bazaar.

Anyone know if there's anything like this for R? Or is colorRamp in CIElab good enough?

by dm319 9y ago
Have to say that for once I prefer the base R style graphs. There's something so old school scientific about them.

My T450s is silent at the usual activities. If you are doing something intensive it'll spin up the fan, which, while noticeable, isn't an annoying sound.
