Yoga 2 pro as well. Was common with Ubuntu 15, now it is rare with Ubuntu 16. I used to think this was a straight up Linux / Ubuntu bug, but seeing the anecdotes here for the other major OSs', and for other laptops, makes me think

It only counts if you don't know that there is a revive available ;)

Our only desert? There is a small desert in Yukon, as well: Carcross Desert. At least by my definition of a desert: wind blown sand dunes with little patches of hardy shrubs and scrawny trees. Maybe the fact that it formed from a lake bed m

And the readme doesn't mention redis at all - is it possible that the author is simply unaware of the existence of redis, and has simply reinvented it? Because that would be absolutely hilarious :p It would also be a fun project, thoug

I concur, that is the dream. To work on my own project, without worrying about finances. To have other people handle hr, sales, most of clients support, taxes and regulations, all of the crap that distracts for the interesting problem that

This is India we're talking about, they'll figure something out. Might not be something cool like point to point IR links, maybe more like kids on bikes with a basket full of internet on HDDs.

You could send the car back home after it drops you off, or release it to pick up someone else. That is, if it is fully autonomous. I suspect that long before then, the "self driving" term is going to get abused by marketing until

I wonder, could we just tell each JVM instance that it may use all of the memory on the system, and then let the OS kill the first VM that allocates more than the system has to offer? Would this get us the same semantics as those of a nativ

Also, things that should be rock solid and dirt simple by now have actually gotten more fragile over time. Heck, just look what happened when the parent tried to write the current year, after successfully expressing an older two decade rang

VR makes me nauseous. I think it is because of that slight delay in feedback from head motion. Or, maybe it's the awareness that if I actually move around, I'll collide with something. I think I'm going to stick to large curv

Stuff like this has happened in recent history in Canada too. At the federal level, and the BC provincial level. All in the name of fiscal responsibility, as if people existed for the sake of money, and not the other way around. It's t

Just wait until you see the Milky Way stretching across the night sky. Or get a call from friends to take the Jeeps up the mountain. Or jump into a cool river on a hot day, and float a few kilometres downstream without encountering anyone w

What you need, is a bicycle. But aside from that, small towns often have a more thorough mixing of zone types; you can often live within walking distance of work or school and a small grocery store.

I walked to school back when I was in elementary school. In grade 2, my mother confirmed that I remembered the stranger rules, and stopped walking with me. It was about a 2km walk. Why is it ok for this to not be the norm? Why do people jus

I think that the real problem is that so many people are trying to concentrate into the densest areas. That creates huge pressures, which are reflected in the price of space. Take a look at the cities with populations below 100K. You will f

Awesome. You know what would be really nice to have? Little markers at the beginning of points or concepts, like the numbers in the Bible. If I could bookmark those, and link to them from a digital notebook (are there any good Haskell noteb

I meant no disrespect. The horse poop outside was a metaphor for side effects. During my brief exploration of Haskell, I went to great lengths to avoid dealing with side effects, and when I couldn't avoid them, the pure functional solu

Haskel programmers: you can spot them by that constant pained look, as if they have to step in horse poop whenever they go outside.

Regarding the hate for parens: rainbow coloring helps out big time. When each pair of parens has it's own color, it is very easy to see exactly how they are grouped in the more complex statements. For Vim, that would be Rainbowtags. It

I saw this in America in the 90s, on an Amtrack train from Seattle to Los Angeles. When I went to flush, I could see the railroad ties flashing by under the toilet. The staff locked the washroom doors when we entered cities.
