I have finally found my sweet-spot between being a total neckbeard (Arch) and following trends (Ubuntu) by simply starting with a minimal Ubuntu/Fedora/Debian installer and then installing whatever desktop environment I choose (I

There's no exact solution to these problems, and I will admit that affirmative action is more of a band-aid than anything else, but POC (I only speak for the US here) in general are worse off economically, have a criminal justice syste

This. All my problems went away when I bought a Brother laser printer, and connected my Raspberry Pi to it running CUPS. No issues with discovery on Mac/Windows/Linux.

There's a HUGE difference between depression/anxiety the symptom, and major depressive disorder. For those with an hour to kill, Robert Sapolsky has a wonderful, accessible lecture on the topic[1]. 1.) https://www.youtu

The only real competition they have is from the HTC Vive and Playstation VR. HTC Vive is their direct competition, but I do believe Playstation VR will probably sell better due to its price and huge install base (every PS4 owner). While yes

Life hack: I have a Prime account as well as the Amazon credit card, and I share it with several of my closest friends. I pay for the account, but the caveat is that my friends (who I trust very much) must use the credit card and then send

I inherited one after never owning a tablet. I was able to turn it into a Plex video-viewing device after jailbreaking and figuring out what the latest supported version of Plex is and it works great for that. Of course for web browsing in

Going for 16GB storage on my 5S might be what makes me upgrade...otherwise the phone still seems fast / good enough for most tasks after 2.5 years of ownership.

I bought a Macintosh SE recently at a thrift store that has KidPix on it. My housemates threw a party recently and I decided to leave it out on the table with KidPix open. Around 10-15 people at a time crowded around and had loads of fun wi

It does vary quite a bit. I've found that the startup scene in SF is extremely white comparatively to the enterprise software company that I work for in SF. The point still stands though if you replace the word "white" with &

Medicine has many more barriers to entry: schooling, debt, etc. I'm a white high school dropout, but I got a developer position at age 27 after rushing through a CS degree later in live which took about ~3 years. I work 40 hours a wee

I have this problem too. 2.4Ghz in my house, no matter how good of a router we use, gets up to 10% packet loss on average.

I live in Oakland and both the Oakland A's and the Oakland Raiders share a stadium, which is considered the worst stadium in both sports. They do have some monster truck events as well and used to host the San Jose Earthquakes on occa

My biggest shock was during my first internship during college making $30 / hour at an enterprise software company. For background: I went the community college / go-get-a-degree-in-your-late-20s-route in life, living off nearly

A CS degree doesn't prepare you for the developer world in certain ways that a boot-camp will, but boot-camps are just too short and crammed to really teach a developer well in my opinion. A boot camp that my housemate is in right now

All of the Daikatana and Ion Storm jokes aside, what Romero was able to achieve from a level-design perspective in 1993 with Doom, given that such an engine had never existed before, was pretty mind-boggling. I wish I had a chance to take g

That wasn't taken from a train camera however. I ride BART every day and have always wondered if the train cameras are even in use most of the time. I suspected not, and this news story confirms my suspicion.

I work at a large company with a central GitHub Enterprise instance, and we use GitHub as a code-reviewing and code-hosting platform. Everything else (including build-automation) is integrated through web-hooks to Atlassian tools for many

I agree, in fact I very much like the sound of vinyl, but to say it's more "accurate" or of higher fidelity and dynamic range than 16/44 is completely false.

Yeah I think that's not obvious from the title of the article: 24/192 are useful downloads for the sake of editing.

This article hits close to home: before I became a programmer I worked as an audio engineer at a fledgling studio in my hometown. The amount of misinformation / junk-science in the audio world is preposterous. There's a religious

The article is specifying 24/192 as useless for playback quality only. Halfway down he addresses the benefits of 24/192 for the sake of mixing and mastering different digital audio signals, but a final mix offers no benefit to th

When I think of inequality and opportunity in the US, I think about the education system. Sadly, the quality of K-12 education in the United States is too strongly tied to economic output / wealth / income of a region, which seem

I grew up in Davis, CA, right dab in the middle of the Central Valley in CA. From a purely visual standpoint, billboard ads along those freeways were far more ugly to me. The ugliness of billboard advertising in cities can at least be mit

I would say it has more to do with the fact that consoles now have hard drives and broadband internet connections. Games can be released as "good enough" to meet deadlines, with the bug fixes coming at a later date. This wasn&#x

While this may be a great engineering feat, I would rather see mass-market external GPU enclosures become the norm once/if Thunderbolt 3 becomes mainstream. It would be really nice for instance dual-boot a Macbook Pro for work during t
