I wonder what's the rate with current Chromebooks for example? The UX of the distro chosen for EEE PCs (unfortunately I don't remember the name anymore) was really strange and something that was alien for users of any mainstream W

Fedora. Up to date packages, decent KDE experience out of the box and synergy with RHEL when it comes to skills.

Personally I really enjoy this particular niche but unfortunately this sad article is the first time I hear about the game. Instant buy and looking forward to getting home to play.

My employer pays for my tools. Sublime is however one of the few paid tools that I use also on my spare time so I actually paid the price from my own pocket to ensure the license isn't tied to my employer in case I switch jobs. I consi

This, especially if you prefer KDE as a desktop the Fedora KDE spin is an excellent choice.

Are you sure you are not confusing Fedora with RHEL (an excellent server OS for the corporate environment btw)? Anyway, after years of using different distros (mainly the Debian and Ubuntu family of things and Arch) on different boxes I tri

We're doing both stream processing and small query APIs using Lambda. A few pointers (from relatively short experience): - The best UC for Lambda seems to be stream processing where latency due to start up times is not an issue - For u

I still have regular nightmares of a past project where we had to use ClearCase for version control.

I'd pick some city in Veneto or Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions for remoting for the exact same reasons you mentioned. I was actually offered an on-site dev job around there once but had to turn it down due to economic reasons and other

This! Porting a small application that you already know well to a new language or stack is an excellent excercise. But IMO it's also useful to read some introductionary texts and existing code on the target platform while doing that to

I really liked Battleborn (moba/fps hybrid) when I got it maybe a few months after the release. Too bad it flopped so awfully and seems to be failing at gaining new traction despite aggressive discounts. I still play it occasionally bu

What bothers me the most about this is that passion and wish to work 9-5 are considered mutually exclusive. This feels like passion for software engineering just means passion for cranking out code for the company 24/7. Of course this

I am also not aware of such websites since good OO design is difficult to measure and the major impact is on quality and non-functional aspects of the system (maintainability, reusability, testability etc). In addition to the books mentione

I've seen this happen where I work at (a rather large international software company). First all coding is offshored to Eastern Europe and/or India - just to wake up a few years later to a crisis where there is a serious lack of s

I cannot comment on hackability since I've only used it for a few months several years ago but it looks to be under active development [1]. https://git.enlightenment.org/core/enlightenment.git

Gnome and KDE have both embraced flat designs but the Enlightenment community seems to still do some rather "original" decorations [1]. They do look rather retro these days though. https://exchange.enlightenment.org&#x2

Did you contact Google sales for a premium plan? Just curious if they were able to give you a reasonable quote since 200k daily map loads looks to be so much outside the scope of the standard plan.

I strongly prefer silence but when the office environment gets too noisy I just put on some familiar black metal classics from my teens that I know well enough to not get distracted by.

Yes, when spending most of the day in front of a cross-platform IDE the OS has very little effect. But the OS has an effect on configuration side of things. Due to working in parallel with different projects and systems I need to have multi

As someone who has only casually dabbled in C I found "C: A Reference Manual" [1] a great companion to the "Expert C Programming" book. The typography is dull but the content is excellent - all the details about the lang

It's exactly the attitude you describe what gets people into trouble with frameworks. Getting up and running and building things on a huge foundation like Rails is easy but you should also act responsibly and take the extra steps requi

Enterprise Java guy here. I guess Java is not much discussed here since it's most popular in corporate scenarios - and it's not very sexy nor fun. I mean, even though it's my first language and the platform I know the best, w

Judging from the description I guess the main difference is that hashnode is open to more open-ended questions and opionated discussions where there is no single valid answer. Let's hope this won't become a battlefield of endless
