   Found this poignant. I made the decision to immigrate from India to the US in my early twenties. At the time I looked at the decision merely as a change of address. Thirteen years later I am still struck by how much of a profound change a &

   It would be great if the old world of XUL/XPCOM was retired after the new way of doing things could cover the same range of use cases. Breaking userspace without lining up alternatives is why users are up in arms.

   The startup time fiasco was one of the reasons why Java never took over for GUI apps. Even though its unscientific, time to first usable interaction goes a long way in establishing "speed" in the users mind. You should see the hoo

   Very unlikely in my opinion. The economic barrier to entry to bootstrapping a mobile ecosystem appear to be so high that extremely well funded efforts have floundered, I see very little reason why Sailfish will succeed where others have fai

    How could they crush arm when arm would not be infringing intels manufacturing patents. Why do you think intel was unable to make dents into the gpu space? Why did they fail at the soc business ? Why are they having a hard time in the modem

    ARM is not a great example since they do not manufacture their own chips.

    You are missing the the magic word "deep" in the title. I was looking at Nvidias GPU conference session lineup recently, it was hilarious how many talks had the words "deep learning" in the title.

    Please disable file notified hooks for files in WSL. One of the big reasons why I prefer to work on linux in office like environments is because Symantec etc heavily hook file IO on windows making things like compilation / checkout ver
