This is pretty exciting to me. At my job we create a Linux desktop app using NW.js, which basically has Ubuntu 12.04 as a minimum requirement. Unfortunately almost all of our customers use RHEL/CentOS 6.x, which dates from 2010. I&#x27

From the article: While the app was initially used primarily by individuals who made a few airport pickups per year, today Just Landed is increasingly used by professional limousine and taxi drivers, airline professionals, and travel compa

The government kind of stepped up: the Innovation Network Corporation of Japan [0], a fund backed by the government, offered ¥300B cash and a ¥200B credit line [1]. Not as much as Foxconn was offering, so I guess that's why they didn&#

There's the UltraNav USB Keyboard [1] which is basically a clone of a 2008-era T series keyboard. The trackpad feels a little cramped compared to modern trackpads, and there's no Windows key, but it's still a very nice keyboa

I'm not sure how font hinting would solve this problem. The resolution of the Apple Watch is 326ppi, so the pixel grid doesn't matter so much. Seems like the different San Francisco variants were designed to solve problems due to

AFAIK, the "Channels" on the Apple TV gen 2 and 3 are already JavaScript and XML-based (a while ago, people discovered that they could spoof the XML and JS on the Trailers channel to play arbitrary videos). So it's somewhat n

Correct, we didn't use /etc/defaults/celeryd, or use a standard init/systemd/upstart/etc-based way of starting celeryd. Instead we used daemontools to add and remove celeryd processes with their own config

We solved the Celery + long running + code reloading problem by having each push of new code be associated with a new Celery queue. On push of new code, start the new queue, and SIGTERM the old one, which will wait for any long-running task

In the BIOS for most Thinkpads I've used recently there is a setting to swap the Fn and Ctrl keys.
