Given that you "spend more and more time on branching, rebasing, cloning, merging, etc. and less time on actual code writing", shouldn't you care more about the different kinds of VCS? Seems having the right tool should be

There should be disclaimers about that when you buy such HDDs. I wouldn't consider watching videos a performance related activity. I say this is WD's failure at properly marketing their product lines.

How would it go if you were to write an algorithm based on the patented version?

The problem with other distros is the lack of a design. Ubuntu was the first Linux distro I used that did not look like a donkey's ass (back in 2008~). Even today's Gnome Shell does not look as good as Unity... it also does not sc

That would be pretty sloppy.. which makes me think it is intentional. In the end, I guess there's no difference.

Alright, that's enough, I don't trust these guys to tell me which ads should be blocked and which shouldn't. Uninstalled.

For PS3 the chances are 0 percent due to a very unusual hardware architecture. For Xbox360 I'm not as sure, but I would say chances are also low. These devices are closed and contain chips to make sure only secure and encrypted code ca

They are either convinced that they are doing good, or in it for the money.

Great, Apple doesn't get it because the company really holding this patent is one of the few worse patent trolls out there. When will it stop?

I think this is a smart move. Microsoft has a lot of cash and doesn't seem to know where/how to spend it. I mean their latest product launches have met pretty cold receptions. Curious to see how this will play out.

Apart from the initialization code which I'd agree is significantly less painful for CUDA, I haven't seen that much difference in terms of exploiting a GPU's compute units. I never wrote complex applications though, so am I m

Not bricked since it still boots stuff and can be fixed. Oh well, everyone's taken a liking to say they are bricked - it sounds so much more dramatic.

Then the NSA only has to save these searches somewhere in place of DDG - we end up with the same result.

Interesting how a lot of people in here assume this is a fraud to support their previous project. Why couldn't they honestly be starting a new project with a separate team?

Nice! It looks pretty simple, but it makes me wonder. Why bother interfacing your Python code with Go? Why not go straight to C for more performance?

Been happily running Ubuntu 13.04 with Python 3.3 for a few weeks. Sure some packages will break, but it will initiate a real migration, and in the end Python3 will be the default Python. All in all, there's no way to make this transition w

I've made the switch to feedly as well, and so far I must say it has been a pleasant experience. Everything was set-up and imported in a few clicks, and the general usage experience is also pretty smooth. I got rid of the useless default in

Which has non-existant support for high pixel density displays. I hope they enjoy messing with DPI settings which mess all apps you use. Linux support for such displays it not there yet.

Yeah, it is exactly the same thing. It's a pleasure argueing with you.

Asus makes the Nexus 7, so it's not entirely a Google product.

I find that Unity feels sluggish and inelegant, performance wise. There is always a slight delay when I open the dash, and I generally dislike it's behavior. However, I stay with it because I dislike the alternatives, so no point switching

Carriers seem to be the problem here. That CM dev is moving to Sony, but I'm having the same crap over there. My Xperia U is still running Gingerbread even though Sony released ICS for that device 4 months ago (and the bootloader is locked

Well reddit is also a lot of this when you dig in the smaller communities. Sure, if you stay on r/AdviceAnimals you are bound to be disappointed ;)

I wholeheartedly disagree and I might add that this is bullshit. Do whatever the hell you want to do with your twenties. If your idea of a perfect life is a flawless career, then go for it. Go where your interests take you. As long as you g
