I'm probably what most people would consider young (22), but I see your point. But 'me too' has a very specific connotation of entering a market late because everyone is doing it, at least to me, which is the opposite of what Opera has done

Brian Harvey was also teaching his own version of the old CS61A last I heard, but he may be retiring after this year. (I've been hearing about him retiring pretty much since I started at Berkeley 5 years ago, for what it's worth).

I haven't used Opera on desktop in probably a decade, but it's been around since before Mozilla. How is it a 'me too' product?

Exactly. It makes sense to rebase for a single commit or two when you're syncing with a remote frequently, but in any other case merge is much more sane.

Also, this has been possible since basically the first version of Android: http://www.saurik.com/id/10 . It's just a chroot jail, taking advantage of the fact that there are ARM versons of Debian/Ubuntu. Complete Linux Installer and other

I think it's more likely that they simply haven't felt the need to update their styling much in the past decade or so. And last I checked the home page uses tables for layout, so it would make sense that it works on IE5, since that's what e

http://sparkleshare.org/ is sort of a Dropbox clone backed by git, that might be what you want. There are a few other things in this space but Sparkleshare, by virtue of aiming to replace Dropbox, is the most polished IMO. There's also t

I don't know specifically about the drivers in Glass but it's based on the pretty old TI OMAP4 platform which was in the Galaxy Nexus, and I think out of the SoC manufacturers TI is (well, was, since they stopped making OMAP) the most open

Woah, $55 for that panel? Seems like it costs less than $100 including the PCB stuff, I'm really tempted to do this but I don't have the time :(. Heck, I'd buy a reasonably finished version of this for $150, maybe $200, without thinking too

Oh woah, seriously? I use Tomato and it seems like the default is 17, no wonder I've been having some issues with range. I just thought it was because my neighbors were setting up more wifi routers. Will try that out, thanks! The one thing

Great all around, I hate all the links that show up here as from github.com when they're actually from username.github.com, or even gist.github.com. Though I guess this doesn't say anything about gists, maybe they should move those to their

I don't think they originally changed what data they collect, they only changed whether you could opt out. After the small hubbub I think some people claimed that you could brute force an IMEI from the hash so they decided to use a more ano

I wish all the best to them. Eclipse with CDT is OK but often just blows up in my face. The last time I tried to use it I ended up switching to Emacs completely :/. But I love IntelliJ for Java, Ruby, and Python, would love to see them buil

I'm working on an app that has one page that's quite complicated (but in my opinion really easy to use once you've learned how it works). Basically you're outlining the structure of a document, so you have to create a table of contents for

I've played around with Bootstrap and didn't like the idea of trying to replicate MVC on the client. Like the article said, I'm not yet ready to move away from server side frameworks for the most part. However, I like the data binding style

If the device has its own battery power, it could probably use a transistor to just disconnect from the battery voltage completely and go into a low power mode where it just checks for ODB2 information periodically, or even just turns itsel

Thanks, this is good to know since I have one too. I'll have to start unplugging mine (also cheap and probably Chinese, though I got it on Amazon). But I've left it in for several months without issue, I guess maybe I just drive regularly e

by ibrahima 14y ago
Oh really, I didn't realize this was the case. I have a cheap ODB2 reader and I use Torque to estimate my gas mileage, and I just leave it plugged in but in the settings it has an option to remind you to unplug it but I didn't know why. Now

As I said in another reply to one of your comments, I don't think 70MB is a lot per tab. I'm fairly certain that if you run Firefox 2 for instance it'll use close to that amount for one tab.

by ibrahima 14y ago
I don't see how it's a developers' fault that you opened 100 tabs in Chrome. 70MB per tab is really not that much, I don't think browser memory usage has actually gone up by much compared to other applications. I think the fact that it was

by ibrahima 14y ago
This specific case is not bloat at all though, it's actually you as a user having too much content that you care about. So I don't see why this is relevant at all.

I think this is not necessarily the best comparison. It would be just as interesting if, for instance, a father found that all desks available were somehow inadequate for his daughter and made one for her from scratch, yet we don't go aroun

I agree completely, it's not like "intelligent routing" is some standardized feature that people have come to expect from Heroku. What people expected was that their app could scale easily on Heroku which as it happens was not strictly true

by ibrahima 14y ago
This post should be stickied at the top of every Heroku queueing thread. People keep acting like the "intelligent routing" system is trivial to build and has no overhead which are both patently false. It's clear that they can't go back to t

As an Awesome user on Ubuntu, I often end up referring to the ArchWiki. Also for a lot of driver issues. Their wiki is really excellent, I guess because when people are dealing with a lot of raw, newer packages they tend to work out the fin

Apps could do a reverse DNS lookup on your public IP address and then use that to determine if you're on a wireless carrier's network. Though they'd have to hardcode some list of TLDs that correspond to wireless carriers, but it'd be one po

For traditional web pages does it ever make sense to use Backbone/Ember/etc? I've used Backbone on one project and I kind of like the MVC aspect for some things but the thing I'm working on right now is more of a traditional web app. There
