elementary OS has evolved a lot from just a simple skin on top of Ubuntu. You can see here [1] all the projects which are maintained by the team. [1] https://launchpad.net/elementary

Mail used to use webkitgtk (the old api), but has been since ported to use webkit2gtk (the new, multi-process api), you might wanna give it a second look. EDIT: I stand corrected. This has not happened yet. I confused this with some other c

The AppCenter is the hottest development area, so there are new features and fixes landing every day. But in the not very distant future you're going to see the result of a lot of work: https://houston.elementary.io/ T

True. I guess this paranoia is coming from all the manufacturers just willing to rip everything off.

Why does the foundry need a license too? I just give it a mask! That sounds like IP hell.

Applied for Thales UK a few months ago. I was met with 19 pages of personality quiz. Seeing that, I decided I don't want to work there anymore, but I dared myself to finish that questionnaire. It was excruciatingly painful and felt re

The 960 day github streak is an illustration of his passion to code, of the fact that he is doing it for the pleasure of coding. He said it himself that it's not there to show any skill.

Why does Uber require scale to return profit?

by matzipan 10y ago
There is no way in hell that loss is going to turn into profit this millenium. Unicorn valuation is basically a very expensive game of hot potato.

This reminds me of the computer collection one of the lecturers in my department owns ( http://www.computermuseum.org.uk/ ). They have quite a number of historical pieces finishing with a number of Crays, an IBM Blue Gene a f

Does anybody understand how lossless JPEG works? To my mind, the whole point of JPEG is to get rid of high-frequency components.

I've been spending a lot of time in the embedded area lately (sub-200Mhz 32k RAM automotive systems, firmware and fpgas) and I agree with you. But there's always tradeoffs. In this case you're trading some memory (which is ch
