Oh what, it's not open source? The little interest I had in this just evaporated. I would definitely be interested in something like Emacs built on modern technologies, but Emacs is already there and quite good. I feel like something l

Potentially fewer context switches and interruptions? I know for me the browser is a potential landmine of distraction, it might be handy to be able to limit that.

Not just that really, I think his point is more so that AOSP will not build and run for 99% of phones out there (i.e. non-Nexus phones). There's a lot of reverse engineering that goes on from people like CyanogenMod to make it work on

Seriously, the number of wrong turns you had to take to get there... wtf? I kind of feel like from a UI perspective, you can try to make your site as usable as possible, but someone will always run into the dumbest edge case or contact you

The thing that's sad is that if Intel hadn't taken so many unethical approaches to keeping AMD down when it actually was competitive with Intel on performance, the market could look totally different today. Back in the Athlon XP

It's also evident if you go through any big project's mailing list in the past few years and search for git/mercurial/svn/cvs/dvcs or the like. I followed Pidgin's devel mailing list for a while. For some

Yeah, not sure what that guy is on about. Both prices are lower than the Leaf's nominal price, and I've heard you could get ~$10k worth of tax credits or something with the Leaf. Unfortunately I don't remember the details, bu

Did you even read the post? Stock git is significantly faster than stock mercurial, it's only after they hack it up that they make it faster.

I get this impression every time I see a "look what neat scalability thing we did" post from Facebook Engineering. It's great that they're able to achieve such technical feats, but they refuse to acknowledge that maybe t

I've been posting all over this thread because I love my new T440s, so it looks kind of funny, but for me as a new Thinkpad user the clickpad as trackpoint buttons was really easy to get used to. I think it's actually worse as a t

by ibrahima 13y ago
I have a Thinkpad T440s with the new trackpoint/lack of buttons, and while I am admittedly a new Thinkpad user, I find the Trackpoint excellent and completely natural to use. It was a little awkward for a day but I got used to it reall

The Thinkpad T440s I just got is great, 14" 1080p IPS matte display, though on the forums there is apparently some talk of there being two different panels where one of them is significantly worse than the other. As a first time Thinkp

Oh wow, I actually ran into this recently, I couldn't figure out what to search for to fix it though. Nice to see that it's built in now. (It was for a tiny weekend project where I was reading logs from the ZNC IRC bouncer to pres

How does one do logic and store state in HTML/CSS? DOM elements for state I guess, but logic?

I mean, if someone ported Linux to a toaster, you wouldn't say they posted the Android core to a toaster. Userspace is what people care about when they mention any OS by name (IMO). The title would have been equally correct if it said

It actually does support at least one of the bands that Verizon uses for LTE. There's a small chance that, like the Nexus 7 LTE, if you insert an already activated SIM card it might just work for LTE.

For a mobile CPU, hot is a lot easier to achieve than on desktop/laptop.

Really? I tried an Apple Cinema Display for a week when I did a short stint at one company and I was really annoyed by how reflective it was. Also was dumb that I couldn't set the brightness on Linux without finding a random third part

That's a problem with the HDMI standard, not with the monitor specifically. The cheaper random manufacturer monitors do things like run the electronics out of spec to get away with things like higher resolution support or 120hz on IPS.

Has Phonebloks done anything besides draw concept images though? I mean, it's a cool idea but something like this is far easier to dream up than to implement. Was the point just to show manufacturers that people would buy something lik

Actually, that's not really true re: the GPUs. They're pretty roughly comparable, and trade off different specs (execution units vs clock speed) with the result that the HD 4600 is actually better in some benchmarks and worse in o

You can, but Angular imposes a little more structure to your code so the learning curve is slightly higher. I prefer Angular's syntax and overall capability but Knockout is a lot easier to just incrementally add to your application. I&

by ibrahima 13y ago
I think the blessing and curse of Knockout as compared to a more complete framework like AngularJS is that it's incredibly easy to get started and doesn't force you into any sort of structure, but at the same time if you're n

If you install it through the package manager (by running M-x package-list-packages and then selecting it from there) you can update it through that as well (hitting U will select all updates). See eg: http://ergoemacs.org/e

Looks pretty cool and all, but am I missing something or are the first pictures just slightly out of focus? If the images were actually in focus would the improvement look as significant? Considering it's a SIGGRAPH paper I'm prob

I agree, though I think a thumb trackpad probably gives you a little more precision than a regular trackpad. That might be the difference between unplayable and barely playable. I guess you might be able to play against someone a league bel

Hotkeys are pretty important for RTSes too (at least SC2). I will definitely try this out for ergonomics reasons but I don't know if they'll have enough hotkeys to make it playable at a reasonable level. But maybe if buttons are c

You know, as a 80APM mid level player I wonder if this will be usable for me. I love Starcraft but I'm pretty sure the fast wrist movements are seriously screwing up my wrists, and I don't even play that much, so it would be worth

This is exactly my experience, including the full screen Kindle and Netflix apps - they're pretty handy! I think on the whole it's a good thing that they're experimenting radically with the UI design, because it's been s
