I never understood this. Ok, so this way of troubleshooting is uncomfortable for some. But what's the alternative? Last time I used Windows the alternative seemed to be just not having the ability to troubleshoot at all.

Oh boy do I look forward to hearing what you mean by this.

No, you can't lock it down without letting its owner unlock it. That's indeed the point. But your original comment said you have to give up your encryption keys. That's the lie I was getting at. Now we can debate whether or n

You can do what you describe with the GPLv3. You'll just have to allow others to swap out the root of trust if they so please. Everything else you write is just anecdotes about how certain companies have chosen to do things.

Think what you will of GPLv3, but lies help no one. Of course it doesn't require you to give up your encryption keys.

I agree that your solar-powered cooling is a giant improvement. But the water situation still seems totally unsustainable.

I think you know that heat waves are defined relative to the local climate. And recall that all but the southern part of Germany is north of the US-Canada border. AZ should be considered uninhabitable (in a sustainable sense) even outside o

Yeah, I agree: the bug here is humans building giant cities in the desert.

So? Software demand is driven by the tasks software need to solve. Whether those tasks involve human interaction or not is surely irrelevant for the demand for software?

As a European, I do think he hits several marks correctly. But I don't at all understand point 10. If anything, it's been my experience that the US is more focused on people having "the right" education for the job. Co

I understand that. I gotta say I was blown away with how well the RM2 handles complex PDFs. Edit: As a stress test, I just opened the most complex PDF I had on my computer – http://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/bas

Absolutely. I just added the comment because I've had some friends who are unfamiliar with e-ink screens expecting tablet behavior. I just refereed a research paper with complex (color!) graphics on the thing. It was an absolute breeze

Pinch zoom is available in PDFs now. I'm on 2.7, but I believe it was added in 2.6. It works really well. Of course it's far slower than on a normal tablet due to the e-ink screen, but it's definitely fine for me.

by gspr 5y ago
If "million times slowdown" is accurate, then by eyeballing that should take us roughly from the state of the art consumer processors of today back to the realm of the m68k. Sure, that's a giant gap. But I don't think it

That is indeed strange. And why restrict it to rationals, when it's true for every real (or every complex, whatever)? It's even true for integers, under a suitable interpretation of what is meant by dividing by 2 in that case.
