A non-article if you ask me. And the issues described seem like they're linked to the particular release he's running... I'm on a Dell with the latest Kubuntu and everything just works.

Had to dig around 3 sites before finding a definition for ICO: ICO (Initial Crypto-Token Offering) refers to financing through the issuance of encrypted tokens (Crypto-Token).

Quite right, and even apartment dwellers can easily have a few tomato plants. One thing that's critical is not to use hybrid (F1) seeds, they don't breed true / aren't reproducible, so you need to buy seeds every year. T

I remember being in my early teens and spearfishing for rascasse in La Ciotat (some 30km from Marseille). Brings back good memories. Anyway, it's strange that the article makes only a passing mention to the "poissons de roche&quot

Been hearing a lot of positive feedback from Fedora lately. Wondering how good the KDE integration is before trying it out though ( no machine to spare). Anybody have some experience with KDE and Fedora, in particular!at Wayland and multi m

Whether it's in PHP, Python or JS, this type of anti-pattern is considered as such for good reason. I don't know how many days (months?) of my life have been wasted debugging "why is this variable changing, and from where?!?&

Some interesting questions there, will have to try some of them. Mind, as part of a technical interview, and in between properly technical questions, to get an idea of the applicant's personality. For example, being able to explain thi

So homegrown terrorism peaked in the 70/80s and dropped off in the 2000s, to be replaced by Islamic terrorists. It's looking like we haven't yet reached "peak Islam"...

Species means that there is normally no cross breeding in the wild. You can have two species which will reproduce in captivity, but in the wild are blocked by some geographic feature such as mountains or water, or by some behavioral aspect

I use 'self' as well, but for me it was because I used Python before JS.

Good news overall, at least with Apache the project stands a chance of continuing. Oracle has shown to be a poor manager of open-source projects. Maybe we can even get a proper Python plugin out of this ;-)

Not technically a lie, people from any country outside the EU can "live, work and study in the EU"... it's just a whole lot more difficult ;-)

If you're not a citizen of a country in the Schengen area then you'll need a passport. And random checks at the border are permitted (i.e. contraband, people trafficking). Also a country is allowed to re-implement border controls

Tesla legitimately broke new ground, before they came out with their roadster there was very little interest in electric cars. And the S really showed the world that an EV can be actually desirable in and of itself. But yes, I would agree t

The term "stamp" in this context is used to refer to a system of payment using a proof-of-purchase (the stamp). Another example, a postage stamp is evidence that you have paid for the delivery of your letter. Some countries use st

Not to denigrate the Indian space program on their historic achievement, but since it has been done before (even if more expensively), it's of less interest to those that are looking forward to major advances in the field. These types

The big advantage of this type of solar over photovoltaics is that they continue producing electricity after the sun sets, so can act as base load stations. Typically, the bigger the tower, the longer it can generate, hence the need for big

The US system isn't bad because it's not base 10, it's bad because it's horribly inconsistent. Quick - how many inches in 1.25 miles?

As someone that has used both systems, I have to say metric is much easier to use and more precise. Typical daily usage includes cooking, ex "if I need 60g of sugar for 2l of water, how much sugar for half a liter?" Is really easy
