Well, I wouldn't run Gentoo on it. Compiling Chromium takes about a day, and I'm not a big multimedia user. But in day-to-day development work (both client-side and server-side) I've never had any issues. I had actually fo

And updated UX305CA works great with a 4.5 kernel.

Yes, you are right about local storage. I just had my browser locked down too tightly. But, yes, looking forward to really using it at work this week. I hope to have more useful/constructive feedback for you after that.

This is nice work! I've already downloaded it and started using it. The workflow is absolutely perfect, and is exactly what I have always wanted in a task manager. It fits with my mental model of how I try to keep track of tasks whi

CFEngine has really great, comprehensive, reference documentation and really very poor, basically non-existent, tutorial or getting-started information. In order to actually get work done, you need to know a good bit more than how to insta

I honestly can't decide if the news that many scheme implementations encourage you to not follow the standard refutes or supports my point. Either way, good to know. ...gets back to work hacking in SBCL.

I was in the same boat until I finally read this (chapter 8): http://www.scheme.com/tspl3/ Scheme may be simple, but scheme macros are not. They go way overboard in trying to protect you from yourself. I'm glad to see Arc moving back in

It's too easy to tease, but I will try to resist. But, seriously, they've been talking about this GPU work for upwards of a 1.5 years now. Usually we get something to play with, even if it's pretty badly broken (I'm thinking NDP here), s

I'd be grateful if anyone could point me to the actual code for this. I'd like to give it a try for myself, but all I seem to be able to dig up is research papers.

Digsby has never kept secret the fact that they were considering grid-computing as one possible way to monetize their product: http://blog.digsby.com/archives/68 The license agreement is simply worded so as to make this possible.

Oh, I don't for a second dispute that JavaScript is a much more elegant language than Java, and I would also put it on par with Python. Remember, jQuery is always my first choice. I only assert that once your (well, my) code base grows bey

I think such a developer (one that has strong knowledge of both JavaScript and Java/Python/Objective-C and still feels compelled to use one of the abstractions) doesn't really exist - at least not in any significant numbe

You mean like: http://firevox.clcworld.net/ And there's this very exciting new development: http://webanywhere.cs.washington.edu/wa.php Just for completeness, I'll add this link: http://www.nvda-project.org/ Really, though, the proble

I was about to respond that they had moved my house about 40 miles---that's where it was when I first noticed this problem two weeks or so ago---but when I just went to maps to confirm before posting I discovered that I now no longer exist

It is dangerous territory, tread carefully. I've seen situations where "exclusive partnership" means "this is threatening to us, we want to put this on a shelf and get it off the market." If the fact that you're asking here reflects a neg

I realize this is just having fun, but I'm often reading this-or-that to the effect that startups are bad for your health. And, I just don't get it. Or rather, I suppose, I expect that anyone who thinks startups are bad for your health ha

And again... I'm putting a few finishing touches on a port of Distel to PLT Scheme that I plan to release this week. I mention it now only because I would hate to see this article inspire anyone to go off and invest in too much duplicatio

I hate to be a ditto-head, but I couldn't agree more. If they have bigger teams and more money, that almost always means you have the advantage. The only way you can lose is if you panic and make bad decisions. Plan your climb and clim
