How painful was it to get it running on a laptop? I've been interested in Haiku for a long time now, but I don't really have a place to play with it except on my laptop.

I didn't say dental, or "family". I said we paid $500 for our son's medical costs, not for the whole family. His dental is completely free until he turns 23. Same as for anyone living in Sweden.

A 2 room apartment in central Stockholm, 40m2 starts at $303000 right now (that's a current listing). https://maps.app.goo.gl/PnrNuo2k3LsgaeG89 That apartment is 44km as the crow flies from my house, 55km by car (45-50

We pay $100 per month for daycare which is open 6:30 to 18:30 if we need it for that long. School costs us nothing out of pocket. Our grand total out of pocket medical costs for our kid thus far (turns 4 in March) is around $500. Including

Yes, we are able to buy real estate in a decent location. We live not far outside Stockholm where prices are really high compared to the rest of the country, and we had no problems buying our house. My salary is ~twice the median income for

He's counting glibc too, not just the binary. This is true for all of the examples, the size is the binary itself plus whatever system/libraries you'd need to actually run the binary.

I think it holds true for any kind of string management. It's kind of why Perl exists in the first place, to take one bunch of strings and turn them into another, probably printing them out somehow. It stands to reason that the default

You don't really have that choice. Many social apps (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) aren't possible to uninstall unless you use a custom ROM. You can only "disable" the apps. It's still perfectly possible to just not

How is your fourth point relevant in this discussion? Nobody is saying that devices are bricked as soon as they're unsupported, just that they become increasingly insecure without support and they contrast this with free and open OSes

I think that's just a property of the prescription system. Even if you were prescribed something harmless like anti-histamines it's still all-or-nothing, otherwise it would count as the pharmacy not honoring the specifics of the p

For anyone on Linux it's also a better choice with Radeon, since they're actually cooperating with writing a FOSS driver for their cards. With nVidia you're stuck with a less than stellar third party FOSS driver or using nVid

Yes. Tell that to all the companies that have to stop working when either of these sites go down because they've built their entire workflow on GitHub/lab being up. Since zero downtime is so costly, maybe it's a better idea

People can't only be judged on where they are right now, you have to include cultural and sociological aspects as well. I would consider myself open minded and liberal and for lack of a better term, "woke". But I was born in

In the EU a B-class driver's license allows you to drive anything up to 3500kg. Exceeding that you need at least a C1 class license (truck/lorry license) for up to 7500kg. Above that you need a full C class license. So 7200kg is d
