Complecting a GUI into an OS doesn't sound very ideal to me.

Reminds me of Mr Prosser who felt bad about vacating Arthur, then felt good about feeling bad.

This reads like a literary review. I like the style a lot!

I'm going with luakit or qutebrowser when I feel I can't continue using firefox 50 that I have on update freeze. Those projects are so promising and can't say I dislike the idea of having a hackable browser on my fingertips.

This is the real reason the kernel won't move to Github. ;-)

A big issue for me is the office climate. In an open space there's always going to be people who are too hot or too cold. A healthy 30 percent is going to be miserable at any given setting.

Have to say -- it's looking real good otherwise. Cool scifi fonts and colors, awesome by default. Apparently it also skips systemd and pulseaudio -- a big plus, a big plus indeed.

The thing is that usually basic algebra like this occurs somewhat seldomly in code. The rest of the function calls are readable, this is the (only) outlier to readability.

Now you said it! How long until someone writes an AI to speed up Tinder discussions so that you can just wait for confirmed physical dates to go to. While ubering to the cafe, you can read a summary the AI prepared for you, with some tips a

IMO reddit should just take a couple steps towards federation. Don't have any default subreddits, more rights to subreddits and less federal governing. That way /r/politics can be left as they want to be and so on.

The unique string would enable coercion (you come back from the polls with the string that says you voted X or else your mother gets it!) and vote selling (you come back from the polls with the string that says you voted X and this wad of d

The screens have separate backlight which is done with other technologies and if with leds, definitely with higher frequencies than 60 Hz.

It does happen at times, but it's very arbitrary if and when it happens. I like SmartPosti parcel boxes as well, especially how I can select the delivery target that most suits my route and schedule. I usually use one that's close

This is probably something that is fixed very easily but when flash requests FS, I get it and it always goes on the right/active monitor. Browser's own implementation usually remains inside the window rectangle so I have to '

I did know that mpv/vlc supports playing youtube but I didn't connect the dots, until now. Thanks for suggestion! This could be big because I also struggle a bit with Youtube's poor playlist management tools. Now I can use pl

I like writing bash scripts a lot and perl is a natural step-up with powerful libraries to use. As others have said, the major obstacle for me has been the lack of great literature.

Go was no-go for me from the get-go (hmm I should probably get better phrases but F it). Its design goals just don't align with my preferences at all.

I still prefer to watch youtube with its flash player. It handles my multi-display setup better in linux, plus it releases the audio right after I finish with the video. Not the end of the world though. I just have to start using a secondar

I wonder why it needs development. Any security holes would very likely to be in image format parsers, which are hopefully dynamically linked and maintained elsewhere.

Heh. My Dell, not XPS but something-something whines in such a manner it sounds like it had an HDD trashing inside. I got fooled quite many times before gotting used to it.

Pale Moon might be my refuge too. Currently it looks like a minor hassle but if/when Firefox does south...

I'm using firefox 50 until it's not safe to do so. When the time comes, it's going to be hard to choose from bad & worse. Firefox is the only browser out there that supports text-only page zooming! And until recently, the

Super bloated webview-as-a-desktop-app that makes electron apps look like they run hand-optimized assembler code. I go for DBeaver, works marvellously.

I'm just glad there are thriving used parts markets where I can score a delidded and guaranteed-to-run-5ghz chips for less money than a brand new one.
