That's only because you're in a less valuable market. You can purchase pretty much every single option they have with Linux in America. It's still unfortunate, but it's not like they don't sell many devices with Lin

There's no reason they'd have to be down for two weeks in that case. They could use a binary distribution to immediately get back into shape, and then switch over after compilation's finished, or they could compile without -O

Ubuntu's default install is massive. Lubuntu has a significantly smaller default install, both storage-wise and performance-wise. It also has zram configured by default, if I remember right. I've never used it, but unlike most spi

Palmer Luckey (Oculus founder) has repeatedly dragged them for cheating on their demos. Given how much faith some investors have had in them, I imagine that's what happened there, too, at least for the first batches.

The Forth Lisp Python Continuum is a language made under the following incorrect assumption. It points out that it's not a perfect comparison. However, it's kind of absurd to imply that Lisp and Forth have nothing in common.

They really should have had the Duo logo on the left side of the side-by-side comparison gif; it gives off a really poor first impression on the right.

Seems to be more a lobste.rs replacement given the seemingly-exclusive focus on tech and the use of the lobste.rs software.

You're trusting a single entity that makes your browser. This is much easier to audit, and Mozilla is more trustworthy than Burger King.

Do you trust that, say, Amazon or Domino's would really have your best interests for your computer in mind? Websites win for commerce and for reading because of trust ; the sandboxing browsers have may not be good , but they provid

Population of Germany and the UK, respectively, compared to the United States (probably a little fuzzy because it was recalled from memory, though). Not only smaller pool of applicants, but also smaller markets.

Python is more complex than necessary or useful. The real shame is that there's not a good Beginner's Lisp yet, but when lacking one of those, BASIC is pretty easy to learn, and more importantly is pretty easy to teach.

pg was famous for his essays before he was famous for being a venture capitalist. I disagree with many of his late-stage essays, but his reflections on parenting aren't the worst.
