   Hi Madcatm2, First, I want to tell you I know exactly what you mean. When I learnt programming, SO was not around. I mostly learnt by reading source codes, their authors' blog posts, and asking them questions. I started to use SO most

   There's a "single player 3d webgl" button on top of home page, you can use it to play against AIs.

   The announcement page for beta (December 11th) : http://play.freeciv.org/blog/2016/12/freeciv-web-with-3d-web... Interesting quote from this article (not to diminish the feat of a webgl version on classic scr

   This sounds super cool, thanks! (note to others: the description of project can be found here https://named-data.net/project/ ) Actually, what could be done without "rebooting" the whole internet is to use ca

   Indeed, local disclosure is a cool idea to mitigate history leak. This makes me think that an other feature could be to not disclose all peers available, but randomly select some. This would force someone wanting to look someone up to downl

   I see, thanks. This sounds quite terrible actually : if internet has any historical impact, the last thing you want is for people to think about "not using too much data". I hope this won't last.

   I realize that this would not work as well : tor is routing traffic through exit nodes, so it would basically cancel the advantages of p2p distribution. The privacy concern makes me realize something else : there's no incentive for use

   Indeed. Maybe it should include Tor like features as well :)

   I'm not from USA, am I correct to think Comcast is a mobile ISP? If so, this is a non issue : mobile apps can already decide not to do big update when not on wifi, browsers can do the same.

    It also sounds like a cool caching technique : since people already have the resource cached on their local system, why not allow them to distribute it? HTTP headers can allow to know when to flush cache (just like it's currently done)

    Leading a side project up to release is already a plus : it means that you can build a product by yourself, which is actually quite rare among developers (few even try, many of those who try never get it done). On top of that, having a side

    That's the kind of standardization I had in mind :) Building such a system, we must make sure to have all the etc files in repos, even if we do not edit them, and copy them on build, instead of just having them in repos if we want to m

    Sounds like Magic Leap is making the same prelaunch communication errors than Hello Games did with No Man's Sky : creating high expectations without showing much, which causes expectation to build up when people imagination feels the g

    Very good points. I guess it would need some kind of standardization for `/etc` files, because I definitely want those to be lookable.

    This made me smile as well. While I'm now used to it, I have troubles saying there's nothing wrong in having `err` a more common word than `if` :)

    Thanks! So it seems they prefer to run groups of applications as services rather than totally isolating each program. This makes sense : docker bundles could be the next level of meta packages. You could say "I want to write some react

    Sounds like interesting prior work for the problem at hand (granted, docker is not VM, but I guess they needed to solve the same kind of problems regarding ipc). Do you know of any literature about IBM results?

    Awesome, thanks Daviey. So it seems to me that, while there's indeed some heavy coding to do for things like keeping apps up to date, containerizing what haven't been yet and managing data containers / mounted volumes, there&

    Thanks for the experimentation and report, would love to have more details. I've been wondering myself about using docker for user stuff, and not just developer stuff, like I do currently. Biggest problems I've figured: * the memo

    This account kind of comfort me in what I think of technical debt : most of time, the problem is most likely lack of documentation than anything else. I don't see how a big project could be coded without containing anything specific to

    For me, the answer is side projects. I keep playing with new ideas, and use new techs by the way. It not only allows me to discover the tech, it's also especially important because I refuse to make first contact with a tech by implemen

    Also, maybe people will want to wait for next elections results (in may 2017) before considering moving in :) I don't see either what you mean with freedom of speech problems, except maybe if it's about holocaust denial or things

    If you live in Paris, you would probably be fine, but outside Paris you may have hard time finding people speaking english (that is, in the street, shops, etc). Sadly, foreign languages are not proper priorities in our education.

    The paragraph focused on carriers in this article makes me wonder : can ubuntu mobile guarantee OEM won't install any uninstallable apps as well? I only buy nexus phones precisely because I don't want the carriers and OEM stuff, t

    How many libraries you use today that you already used ten years ago? Is there more than a handful?

    Actually, the kind of features ESR asks for are covered by github, IMO. It's easy to review code quality from there, the number of stars and forks reflect project popularity, the list of committers (how many they are and who they are)

    And an exceptional front light side. I'm always amazed how most people give the best of themselves during casual social encounters. The big effort we do in social interactions is kind of an art, we're not so good in daily life wit

    Thanks krylon. Now that you mention it, I think I've heard something in the stance of "they focus on mobile and leave desktop behind" before. Thanks for feedback!

    On the other hand, KDE is the most configurable DE I've ever seen. I've never looked too much at its defaults because I usually switch to KDE in my "let's customize everything" moments (and get back from it in my &q

    I've never switched to apple hardware when it was the trend, in late 2000' and stayed on pc/linux, so my apologies if this comment is naive. I see a lot of "leaving apple" articles and comments lately. From what I g
