That post doesn't really answer anything. There are far less privacy-invasive methods to "analyze usage". Gitlab may have some watertight contract with pendo but that doesn't mean anything to me as a user since I cannot

Given many major websites break if you enable tracker-blocking I would guess it will. frontend devs urgently need to learn to write more robust code.

But why? What can they possibly gain by this?

Note that this is not limited to office. It works pretty much everywhere in Linux and windows.

> He points out it's more work, and it surely is. Well, technically you are using an oddball distro initially created for headless embedded systems. He is using a server distro with a i3 DE shoehorned into it.

That's nothing compared to their losses when cities start suing them for littering and causing accidents. In some places the city has started gathering abandoned bikes for destruction. I wonder if you can buy these from the city and bu

I think this is explicitly forbidden by app store rules. It is definitely the case for the iOS app store anyway.

You have to remember what these store are replacing. In case of Sony/Nintendo you pay togt access to their closed hw and ecosystem (for much less than 30% by the way). In case of apple you pay to be included in a catalogue but you can

Care to explain what that means?

I think there is still a good idea to use the same environment on your own machine. This doesn't mean it's wrong to use containers to isolate various projects from each other and your main setup. Edit: I highly recommend using lxd

OpenBSD folks think supporting more architectures have helped them creating a better OS.

This use of expensive surplus hw reminds me of the nsa@home project http://nsa.unaligned.org/

I think you are correct. Fpgas are often used as a stepping stone towards cheaper asic or hybrid solutions. asic requires a high volume and a working design, neither of which you have early in the project.

Note that you can't easily compare LUT count between vendors or even among a vendors different architectures. In any case, I think ecp5 is partially supported by open source tools which should make it much more interesting to hobbyists

Well, the main reason I never learned 68k assembler was because it read sooo easy to crash things. I simply didn't have the patience to wait 2-3 minutes for the Amiga to reboot from floppy.

Note that Linux on dex was an experiment that never made it out of beta. dex itself will continue to live on.

We know for example that microplastics in the oceans causes brain damage in fish. Right now, we have no idea how it affects humans.

by panpanna 7y ago
Getting rid of plastics is already a huge cost for cities. Right now, many large cities burn their platics which also generates co2.

by panpanna 7y ago
Also, they are becoming a danger for humans and fishes. At some point we need to pay that cost. Maybe this particular technology is not fully applicable in oceans, but at least it's a start.

Last week we had a major security vulnerability in Android just because Google can't user the same Linux kernel that everyone else are using. There exist LTS kernel versions for a reason, you know.

I have been told the kde has similar (or maybe even lower) footprint despite doing more.

Looking forward to seeing this as a requirement in projects that already require npm, phyton, cmake, gradle and ninja to compile :(

This is actually called the "throw over the fence" open source development model. Most Google projects are like this, including Android which is the main reason why vendors struggle with os updates.

Fredriks design looks really interesting! Vertical plotters are usually hard to install and calibrate but his looks like one you could slap on coworkers whiteboard and print something while he is on lunch break ;)

Yours produces significantly better drawings. Sure, it uses more expensive step motors, but there are cheap versions of those too.

Companies such as Sony and Samsung have enterprise programs where they commit to much longer update periods (5 years?). I don't think using a 4s in 2019 with the latest os and apps is a pleasant experience. While I appreciate apples co

Firefox on mobile is actually pretty good and more people should use it. (At least on Android, on iOS it's just a skin on top of whatever engine apple forces down their throats).

I suspect that says more about the state of frontend development today than about Mozillas privacy policy. Anyway, I think Mozilla should address all these concerns ASAP.

Just want to point out that Samsung is still updating some 4-5 years old phones. Also, pixel is a technology showcase and not always the best Android can offer. In a multi vendor market who is the best changes every quarter. Disclaimer: wri
