I'd just observe that we can agree on the problem without agreeing on the quality of the eventual/current solution.

This, like most, advice from random websites, is a mixture of out-dated notions half-truth and and outright wrong-headedness. Better to ignore it.

Well, I've no great love for FlexLM, but even less for changes to userspace that willfully break things in pursuit of this year's dubious concept of 'better'.

The charge of stupidity could equally well be levelled at the gratuitous change to interface naming.

Nope. it's the JVM overhead. Try -nojvm.

"Quite frankly, if you do this, you should be shot. " Ah, yes. No comment from Torvalds is complete without a gratuitous ad hominem.

Agreed. Not sure which is worse - that he's a terrible role model, or that he's proud of that fact.

The moral of this story is "don't skip the risk analysis"

Not all problems have a solution that involves writing code.

It's appalling to think that there are 'developers' who are still only now realising PHP's horrendous nature.

Don't worry. You've lost nothing.

I look forward to living in whatever blessed future you sent this message back in time from.

"Desktop"'s a red herring in this context, really. What's missing is a GDrive daemon that does automatic syncing. The closest there is is https://github.com/odeke-em/drive , which requires manual pu

That's Google - the corporate equivalent of a hyperactive 10 year old boy.

Today I learned that the "curl | sudo" idiom is actually a thing people really do. Truly, everything is awful.

Personally, the sooner the Nouveau people throw in the towel the happier I'll be. Yeah, I get that it scratches an ideological itch, but it's crap. What good is hardware I can't use? Nvidia's drivers and software stack a

Well, the K520 is a single AIB with two discrete GPUs on it, each being a GK104 with 4GB (which seems to match the spec of the K5000). A g2.2x instance has a single GPU - ie half a K520 - assigned to it. Your claim surprised me enough to st

Canonical's packaging of the Nvidia drivers is risible. It really is easier just to pull the driver and CUDA installers from the nv site and install manually. Or use the Amazon Linux AMIs which just DTRT.

4 of the current Grid K520 GPUs in a single instance, at 4x the price (on-demand and spot) of the of the g2.2xlarge. Shame they're not also rolling out a Maxwell hardware-backed instance type.

About all that can be said for Gradle is that it makes Maven seem tolerable.

Kitware have a lot to apologise for.

Jeez, can't you kids just quit this square-wheel churn and just buckle down and learn to write makefiles? It's really not that hard.

Carp all you want about make, I'll take it over any of its ostensible "replacements".
