Intel, AMD, ARM, etc could learn from supercomputers from 1970s/1980s era. They had to deal with heat problems and found solutions, look at e.g. Cray 2 Some applications would benefit a lot from higher single core performance, some app

And in LED projectors. The only question is why aren't there chinese made FullHD LED projectors in the cheaper price range? Maybe as people still buy the 320x200, 800x400 and HD (1280x800) LED projectors. It would take one chinese manu

Why should the user do that? The project should do it with an automatic build script. Every open source project worth mentioning releases also portable ZIP packages of the software. Mozilla's Servo windows builds get released only as M

Thanks, that's answer. @Mozilla: so please make the Mingw builds as download package as well. And don't forget to release everything as ZIP packages as well. (not just MSI)

Can you also offer a Zip package? (portable) Why only this MSI package?

WeChat actually feels very light and has a way better UI than WhatsApp and Facebook Chat - though they rather slowly now copy it from WeChat. Crazy times, as now US has to copy the Chinese competition which is now like 2-3 years ahead.

> I've never seen a self-hosted git, CI, etc. be more reliable or secure E.g. a self hosted subversion repo sitting on a network share is 100% reliable. What's so special about such things. It's a solved problem.

Wrong. First the company only offered professional support. Nginx was completely open source. Look at the website how it looked like in 2012: https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20120603095936/http://nginx..

by frik 10y ago
True. Nginx got very popular when it was open source, without a company-face behind it. It's a classic example, how some company do it. If Nginx would have been Pro-supported from the start Nginx would never got that much traction. It&

The only thing pretty bitter about Nginx is that the access to the server status in the open source community edition. You get only so much with "ngx_http_stub_status_module" that you have to compile in yourself, as distros don&#x

Notepad++ just works and is great. It's lean and has a common UI, has syntax highlighting and auto-complition. The Texteditor that comes with Gnome is similar. Same with Nano, it just works and has a good enough UI.

Yes, exactly. But why? What's the agenda? Why now? It's not like Amazon.com was broken between 1996 and 2016. There is a push to HTTPS at all costs, even if things (ad networks, devs, software) is not ready and is there even a nee

Which I'd quite bad. I don't understand why/who lobbied to implement it that way in Firefox. Can someone disclose the decision-making behind this? It would help devs a lot if HTTP/2 works without TLS too.

by frik 10y ago
You are right. More and more propaganda these days to steer the crowd to things were only the top players benefit. HTTP 0.9/1.x with or without TLS (aka HTTP S ) is still relevant. And making TLS mandatory is a very bad decisions, it w

Replace Github with your favorite modern bug tracker. Some very old software Bugzilla/Trac/Confluence are not modern, have a bad UX and kind of off-putting.

by frik 10y ago
For open source projects: offer Github issues, IRC for chat and a proper forum like phpbb or a more modern forum like discourse (or one of the clones) and/or a mailing list.

Win95 with shell update up to Windows Me and 2000 had the full trident engine (same as IE 3-5.5) in the Shell (Active Desktop, Explorer bars, etc.). Windows ME/2000 can play audio and video previews in the side bar (all HTML based). Al

Steam always used a HTML renderer, even in its 2006 first incarnation. Nowadays it uses the same CEF (chrome library) as electron uses. So Steam was one of the first "Electron" apps. A very first one was Windows Explorer as of She

Toshiba should split off its quite good HDD factories, and its okay notebook factories. I don't know or care about the rest. But loosing another HDD manufacturer would bring us to a duopoly or monopoly - would mean a lot more expensive
