Thanks, I will give it a try again, but the last time I didn't like the UI.

I really like using Opera on Linux. It is the only full featured browser that has good, scalable UI and touch input support. And builtin adblocking + "battery saver mode" (developer version only) are really good additions. However

> That MBP has physical 227 DPI. What's yours? (If it is 2560x1440 at 24", it has only 122 DPI). It is a 14 inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) display (Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga)

I tried 1980x1080 on my 2560x1440 screen. I don't think it looks very well.

Not that I know of. Screen can be scaled with xrandr (on X11), but that significantly decreases performance. There's a chance of making it work on Wayland (modern replacement for X11) in the future.

Not without having fuzzy text. I explained it once on reddit: > Is there any difference between FHD monitor and WQHD in FullHD mode? Yes, there is. WQHD is 2560x1440 pixels. If you set your resolution to half that (in width and height) i

For Gtk3 apps it works reasonably well (it scales text, but not buttons, widgets, etc). There's nothing you can do with Gtk2, Qt4 apps though (other than changing font size).

> Maybe it'll be better on linux Nope. Scaling is supported by Gtk3 (but you can only scale by integer - 2x, 3x) and Qt5. A lot of apps are still using Gtk2 and Qt4. It is a mess. I wish I had an FHD display instead of WQHD.

I know. I just don't like Chrome's UI and it's heavy integration with Google. I am trying to rely less on Google. I have switched to a different email provider, DDG is my default search engine and I use Owncloud for contacts,

I switched from Firefox to Opera on Linux. Opera is faster (especially cold start), has great support for high resolution screens, support for touch input, access to Chrome extensions and built in flash. The best browser for Linux IMHO.

Yes, difficulty of finding right hyperparameters is often overlooked. And it is a very frustrating part of creating a model. And methods like grid search just don't work, because of number of parameters to tune and time to train a netw

I have just finished a mobile app in HTML5. Although it works fine on iOS and Android 4.x, it caused many problems on Android 2.x. As Android 2.x still has more than 50% of Android market share it is a platform we cannot ignore. I am sticki

200k is a lot. I can't see how you need so much money (unless you want to add another supercar to the video)?

That is a great idea. Brilliant app for loving parents who don't want their kids spend time in front of TV. Perfect for introducing kids to books and encouraging to read. I regret I cannot test it myself (don't have an iPad). Good luck!
