My comment does not contradict in any way the article: the problems of mathematics searchers are very different than the ones of students. I just disagree with many of the comments about this article: for me mathematics does not require a g

I have a very bad memory and I am convinced that was the reason I was good in mathematics. IMHO there is very few to rote memorize. When you learn demonstrations, there are so many links with definitions that you eventually know all definit

I am on scaleway bare metal at 3.6€ per month. I use no-ip.com for the free domain name. I have a docker image to update a jekyll static site that I publish over ssh with rsync. I use fgallery for the pictures collections. For me, it is the

Of course, the whole point is that my desktop is part of the network like any remote server. You are not a client of servers, you are a member of a network. AFAIK, rdesktop and logmein are far behind (more difficult to setup and to use). h

I use Linux (ubuntu gnome) on my main computer since many years. IMHO, changing the FHS should be the lowest priority. The priority should be "hardware support" and "education". By education, I think mainly about the dif

Maybe browser should have a security option to whitelist characters in URL. When a URL uses another character, there would be popups with explanations and choices.

After using exclusively linux at home during a couple of years, I have bought a laptop to my wife. I wanted to experience windows 8 (new at that time). It was a complete week of frustration. Almost no application are present by default, the

Is there a project to translate some of your books to french ? I would be pleased to contribute to this kind of projects (I am french and this looks like a good way to improve my javascript).

Consistency is the main point. The second layout is more compact and this makes a huge difference if you need to put code in a document (also a small difference for websites). Having more compact code allows to have more code on the screen

I guess bad defaults have been chosen to maintain stability for previous users. IMHO, man pages should contain a .tmux.conf that demonstrate the "best" usage(s) of the tool. IMHO man is the most important command in unix and &quot

Idem for me. I have installed Ubuntu-gnome. sshd, wine and powerpoint viewer are the main customization. When the computer is started, I receive a SMS so that I can perform updates or backups.

TIL. I did not know Xdummy. I have just followed your link. It is trivial to launch. It avoids installation of vnc, has a better compatibility and is already present everywhere.

For Rolex, the idea is to be part of the small elite that can afford it. But how do you explain that so many people spend so much money for a recent iphone when a 10$ phone works better for phone calls (more autonomy, stronger, better fit i

IMHO the failure of RIM was to copy Apple instead of focusing on their identity: an enterprise friendly phone with a good keyboard.

I think Ballmer is very smart and logical. It is completely crazy to spend so much money to buy a phone even if it doubles as a bad computer. I know many people do it, but IMHO it remains crazy and illogical. How do convince your boss that

As far as I remember, Stacker was a marvelous software that compressed disks in a transparent manner. Everybody was using it (often pirated). Then Microsoft has provided DoubleSpace for free with its new release of DOS. It was slightly infe

For me, the sad part of the story of Concorde is that Boeing has failed to build a supersonic plane and as a revenge has lobbied to prohibit the Concorde flying over the USA. This protectionism and the petrol crisis have caused its commerci
