Not be sound harsh, but your problem lies here My personal preference for everything is spaces You want a tool that has been around longer than you do stuff your way. I think it is better if learn to work with the tools and ac

yeah, makes you wonder what kind of bubbles some of these developers are living in if they see Make as some magical relic from the past.

I buy all their bundles. The PDF quality is usually good but that could also mean that the files are too big to be read on a tablet or a phone. The mobi & epub versions are sometimes just a dump of the PDF file. Speaking of quality, the

Thanks for sharing this. May I ask, did anyone tried to talk to the management about the long term effects of this? Long term = people will eventually learn to avoid your site because BBC feels much more responsive.

Yes, but you also lost a number of useful instructions (such as LDM). Also, many 3rd party implementations already incorporated at least a good subset of those accelerated instructions. So you could (and people did) create synthetic benchm

Funny you mentioned ARM! I have some inside stories to tell about that! At the time it happened, many had already looked into the architecture and realized that to them there were no real benefits: 32-bit ARM could already address 1TB of me

it seems to me that when apple does something it quickly becomes "accepted" by the consumers (even if it is a technical thing and not consumer facing). This is not always a bad thing for competitors

Well, tell that to online drug dealers and ransomware creators.

Wait, so you think its fine to trademark "Citi Thank You" and all the sudden own "xxx thanks"? edit: also, what is with the Ars hate these days? I think they are still doing a pretty good job, unlike say engadget, thever

Lets view this from another angle: you want to work in a project with tens of thousands of developers and literally billions of users. No matter your works technical merits, you simply cannot DEMAND that Linus accepts your huge patchset wit

Serious answer: a good CS program does not waste time teaching a particular use of a particular technology that may or may not be in use by the time the student has graduated. Instead, it ensures that the student has the base knowledge and

But we are talking "developer edition". Do you code laying down in bed? (not that what you suggest is very ergonomic anyways)

I think you missed my point. Firewire was also significantly faster than USB when it was announced and see where we are now. I paid extra for a laptop with Firewire ports and then paid extra for equipment that had firewire ports, they are a

But how can you comfortably code on 11"? I mean, sure it is doable but is it worth the shoulder and back ache it will eventually give you?

Do you think CS programs should teach someframework.js too? Where is the Science in using stuff other people have put together (and then written a detailed instruction on how to use it)?

Are there any similar tutorials for LXD?

But are there any real benefits for having Thunderbult on a PC? I have a few expensive firewire audio equipment that I can no longer use. Sure, they were faster than USB when I first bought them but now they are just paperweights. So next t

Given that all phones are manufactured in China, I would say that ship has already sailed. But I am an equal opportunity guy - if NSA is spying on me it is only fair to let the Chinese in too :) More seriously, since these phones are often

I think in 2-4 years, xiaomi will be a market leader. I believe this for three reasons: 1. the Chineese government got their backs. (e.g. foreign competitors have been forced to agree to not sue these guys to get their mergers approved) 2.

What you mention is a board/library issue not a tool issue. But looking at how the AVR community has solved this, it is certainty solvable at "apt-get level". Also, apt-get works just fine on Windows 10 nowadays :) edit: For

That would increase the price significantly since they would need to move to nordicsemis new M4 devices. And yes, 16K RAM is pretty huge by segment standards. Your best chance is if someone can optimize the BLE stack to use less RAM. After

I disagree. Getting started really really quickly would be 1. sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi 2. make Instead, we have this extreme tool-bloat where a tiny tiny executable is produced using python, python-setup, cmake, libff

I am sorry, how can J2ME even remotely compare to Android? With J2ME you couldn't write the simplest application before you ran into the platform specific minefield (example: how to read the D-pad on different phones?). On Android, run

That git 2.5.0 on your ubuntu was patched about a month ago (to be exact: March 21, the same day Ubuntu published the advisory). So fun fact indeed :)
