Daniel Stone actually did a talk involving much of the same subject matter called "The Real Story behind Wayland and X". I'd recommend that over this article (which was partially written by the same guy). He's actually a

Thanks for the thorough response. I really appreciate it.

Why is static pointless and why is dynamic better? If emulating a newer game console, couldn't you get better performance by running a statically recompiled game, since it doesn't have to do the extra work at runtime? Or better ye

I almost spit out my drink at the map about "The city". I mean, really, what did they expect?

Wow, how crazy is it that every scientific study by Microsoft happens to prove the superiority of their products! What a lucky coincidence, since we all know they would never fudge the results.

Maybe things have changed, but I've consistently had a far better experience with nvidia cards on linux.

From watching their videos it looks like they're huge Apple fanboys. I doubt they'll ever support Google anything.

I don't know why people claim that gnome 3 is for mobile. On my nexus 7, it's an unusable piece of crap but on my desktop/laptop, I've never been more productive with anything else.

Interesting, considering I knocked quite a few dollars off the price of my current desktop when I bought it from Dell with Ubuntu preinstalled six years ago. Thanks Dell for losing money for me.

Nope, I'm in the US with an .edu email address. Checked the spam filter and everything. Nothing. EDIT: Registered again and it worked! Goodbye bitbucket.

I'm a student. I've filled it out at least three times in the past and never gotten anything.

This sounds really awesome to me. I'm finishing up my last year in college, and I've failed to really connect with a single person so something like this could have made my life so much better. Obviously, though, I'm not a good representati

I was talking about drive not having a linux client (not an official one at least).

Other than the frustrating lack of a linux client, how is drive inferior to dropbox?

Android 4.x supports it, but I think the phone hardware has to also support it somehow. As far as I know there is no way to get a galaxy nexus or a nexus 7 into usb mass storage mode.

When I see comments like these, I feel like there must be two different KDEs. Every time I've tried to use it, I've had the exact opposite experience: it runs really slow and provides a complete nonsense UI.

I know pacman doesn't do everything that apt/dpkg does, but for a personal machine I highly prefer it to any other. What exactly don't you like about it?

I never see anybody complaining about removal of features from epiphany (the gnome web browser). That's probably because everybody knows it's intended to be a simple, featureless browser for those who don't need something more powerful. If

I really wish hungarian notation would die already. Might be one of the worst trends to ever catch on.

No need to pick between optimization for reading and editing. You can have both by using tools like gofmt and astyle.

Maybe they wanted the name to symbolize the syntactical terseness of the language, and every other two letter name had already been taken by unix utilities.

Yeah, I'm getting to that point as well. It's just disappointing to see posts like this, because many people here would undoubtedly benefit greatly from a switch. And it's not some scheme to replace QWERTY with Dvorak globally, as they prob

> Having difficulty finding symbols because the keycaps no longer match (I don't know why they don't memorize them after all these years) That's quite odd. Maybe it's because I'm a programmer, but I had the symbols down just as fast as

Everyone who has actually made the switch, including myself, knows that is complete bullshit. I may be an extreme case, but my typing speed went from 55 wpm to 140 within a year, and with dramatically reduced pain after long programming spr

As long as they provide the option to enable it, I actually don't see what's wrong with this. If someone can't figure out how to change that preference, then they are exactly the type of person who shouldn't be running random executables of

I really don't know much about font rendering, but I thought that was the case too so I installed the Ubuntu fonts on my Arch Linux system, and they looked terrible. According to the Arch wiki, Ubuntu applies their own patches and "extra co

Thank you, I was hoping somebody would have already made this point. Funny thing is, both statements are true; you really didn't have 85-year-olds with chronic diseases. There were 85-year-olds, they just didn't have chronic diseases. The i
