The walled garden has dark corners. Subjectively: There is nothing I can do on the iPhoneX that I would want to do on my iPhone6s. Basically, its just .. too fat .. too extreme .. and the wall of the garden far, far too well laid out for m

Nope, MacOS. Just doesn't work on my system, and I have no idea why.

I find it fascinating that the music-making market is constantly ignored in the rush to make better consumer devices out of the iPhones/iPads and whatnot of the day .. as a musician with tons of iDevices, and lots of cables, I rue the

Yeah, Lyme disease is not a "non-issue", it is an issue, and a serious one, and you don't wanna fuck with it. So, learn to spot the symptoms, and go get it sorted with a doctor. Like you would with any parasite.

Had to go through a Lyme treatment last year myself.. it was not fun. The antibiotics regime was easily one of the lowest points in my life - just felt terrible for weeks. The thing I was taught by this experience, is to never, ever scre

I can attest to this. I've done many trips into the deep desert and noticed many times that if you idle your 4WD while out (taking a whizz for example), often there'll be swarms of beasties on their way to investigate. There are

Its a real pity that these populations are endangered by poachers, who are likely sourcing the fish for use in aquariums as a show piece. There is a real divide between the public who know and care about endangered species, and those who j

Its the same reason psychiatrists tend to not use pharmaceuticals: they know the dangers.

Its surprising how effective trash-print still is, even today. In Europe, its a very significant form of propaganda; the free daily trash-mag at the train station, literally provided free for the taking at the exclusivity of all other rags

When you say you told it to update everything, do you mean this: $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade FWIW, Steam has a long and chequered history with regards to dependency hell - and there are gotcha's with using

I'd argue that Lua is far, far more accessible than Basic. It really depends on the environment in which you stick it, though. Take a look at antirez' LOAD81 for example: http://github.com/antirez/load8

Does anyone have any experience with developing home-brew or indie games on the Switch here? I've considered getting one, but I'm limited by the rule "never buy a system for which I can't develop my own software" .

I'm guessing you don't know what "DLL hell" was. >The part I find mind-boggling is that Linux users are obsessed with package mangers for the initial installations themselves, not merely updating. Yes, because it keep

Its not broken. The 'error' in the example you gave is: php comes in many flavours and your distro has (wisely) decided not to make this decision for you. You have to decide which flavour of php you want to use and install the de

On the contrary, the system you proposed has been implemented many times over the history of Linux .. I can think of GoboLinux as an example, but I think NixOS also does this (may be wrong). I prefer to just keep the system stable through c

Those package dependency graphs are there to protect you. Having to route around the protection is precisely why you should use a package manger properly - to ensure you don't end up with incompatible/borked installation of key e

I was initially excited about this, because I'm a huge Lua user and fan, but then when I realised it was something other than the object of my love, was immensely disappointed it had nothing to do with Lua. So I'd be one of those

Another great use is for ear infections. During summer months after a lake session or two, if one of our kids gets a sore ear we make a compress of onion bits (usually quite juiced up) and place it over the affected ear. Quite often - w

I was involved in starting one of America's biggest ISP's back in the early 90's - I won't name which one, but it was #2 for a while - and I can say that things have radically changed from the way they used to be. But,

I have a GPD Pocket too, and I concur with you - the keyboard is one iteration away from being acceptable. But, is it not still a kick-ass machine? I really love mine, and I look forward to any revision we may see from GPD in the future -
