Even if people would prefer macs and perceive them to be superior (regardless of whether this is true), most aren't willing to shell out the cash for one.

Hi Jim, this is a terrific tool. It would be more useful for students if it included age requirements for offices (if any).

I've never tried this, but I know that Wine doesn't use VT-x so I think it would work better than nested VMs. I don't know how much sandboxing Wine provides, so it might not be necessary to do this.

Wine's support for 16-bit Windows applications is actually better than in Windows 10. If I try to start up a VM with XP I've got to worry about XP's security situation.

I've got an LG dumb TV and it's terrific. Mine's lasted a few years already but they probably still make them.

I used an Atom-based netbook as my primary dev machine for a while as a student, and it was ... okay, but not recommended. I used GUIs, but not full IDEs. (I highly recommend KDE's Kate text editor.) I've since upgraded to an In

I don't buy this argument. The canonical usecase is to block a program from accessing the internet at all. It blocks updates, sure, but you still end up more secure if there's no network in or out at all. Local applications sho

Weirdly Vancouver-centric. If Vancouver is collapsing, maybe Milwaukee can replace it.

My 90s self never wanted a PC in his pocket, he wished his iPod and flip phone could be one device.

GPUs do not actually have control flow. They are SIMD vector processors (Same Instructions Multiple Data). CUDA and OpenCL make this a bit more explicit.

In my experience a few years ago, Dells are much easier to open up and work on than most other laptops. If you are the sort of person to build your own desktop PC you might consider doing your own laptop repair rather than deal with warran

They could be working on Konsole, or iTerm, or ConEmu, or a long list of others I haven't even heard of (although the admirable goal of being cross-platform seems to align most directly with Konsole).

I'm not 100% clear what you mean by heuristic/ad-hoc. The first AI winter happened because researchers (e.g. Lenat) thought they could build true AI (consciousness) out of millions of rules. If rules, guidelines, and heuristics c

Also, Bram Cohen's diff algorithm made it into Canonical's Bazaar VCS. I think some of the Cohens' other VCS ideas may have made it into Bazaar, but I'm not sure.
