The bombing operations forced Germany not only to use its planes defensively instead of tactically against the Soviet Union (and build high altitude fighters to begin with), but also forced them to spend an enormous amount of resources on a

I couldn't agree any less: % mkvirtualenv -p `which python3` notebook (notebook) % pip install notebook jupyter notebook scipy pandas matplotlib pdbpp ipython (not sure if all of them are really necessary)

This looks interesting, but I find the documentation somewhat lacking. Is the user supposed to know ggplot?

Title sounds a bit too clickbaity IMO, but I guess who would want to read an article titled "German Bundeswehr cooperates more closely with European Allies".

Living near coal mines, coal or nuclear power plants isn't great either.

I don't think this would have been any harder had it been written in C(++) for someone comfortable in C(++) . But I do believe there are more people comfortable with web technologies these days.

How much time would it approximately take to work through this?

You can often install a hacked BIOS wich do not contain such a blacklist, which you can find on the internet, installing which may or may not be a good idea though.

You know what they say, pull requests are the new feature requests... But yeah, I'd love to see vimperator or pentadactyl supporting this, and no, I neither have the time nor the skillset to fix it myself.

pkg.src is available for Mac OS X and might be a good alternative (disclaimer: I have never seriously used it, certainly not on OS X). https://www.pkgsrc.org/ http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-osx/

How about choosing no default, and instead ask the user on first run? `Do you want to send usage data to the developer? (yes/no)`

ps: make sure you get a wifi card that is supported by FreeBSD. While you can put in a supported one, the X220 won't boot because Lenovo put a Wifi card whitelist into the BIOS and you need to install a patched BIOS from a dubious sour

I'm using FreeBSD on Lenovo X220, and while it's obviously no MacBook, everything important to me (wifi, suspend-to-ram, graphic support, long battery usage, HDMI out) just worked out of the box (apart from the initial install, wh

While it may be tastefully done, it's still advertisement and therefore deserves a place on EasyList. I'm willing to pay for interesting content, but really don't want to see any adverts (1. they steal attention, 2. you pay

How do you handle indentation in python (especially if the line is already indented)?

by lorenzfx 10y ago
Didn't know that, thanks! I believe it wasn't when I started using the X220, but I'm not sure either way.

No, I don't mind at all, but what would the relevant configuration files be? As I said, there was no fiddling necessary. The only thing I remember doing is putting `echo kern.vty=vt >> /boot/loader.conf`.

by lorenzfx 10y ago
Really depends on your machine. Suspend (and wakeup!) works great on my Lenovo X220, no fiddling needed at all.

What is the advantage of the graphical console vs. the notebook? I don't get (yet) why I would need the console when I have the notebook.

I'm not saying he is wrong, but he makes some bold claims without giving any proof. Some examples: > Twelve blades is a nice number. Why twelve? Why not 50, it's a nice number as well. > Lipps turbines can operate in faster

Timezone wonkeyness should be all fixed, if not, please report in the issue tracker. PS: some of khal's wonkiness is due to it reporting all errors instead of silently ignoring them most other calendar software does.

You make it sound like your users are getting a free service. They are not. They just do not pay you directly. Why are advertisers willing to pay you $15/month per user? Because those users buy the advertisers' wares with a hefty
