Anecdotally, people remark it was Windows Millennium Edition to deserve the barrel's bottom. It was buggy unstable & with lots of BSODs. I liked the Windows 2000 styled UI

Another alternative often missed is LyX. It is a WYSWYM editor with LaTeX in the core. As with other WYSWYM or hybrid systems, it lacks the precise formatting

To understand this, we have to know how India failed in properly training/educating & instilling core democratic values for a whole generation. Here are some connected observations: About two decades ago, rapid globalisation opened

I think I failed to explain the crucial part of the argument so let me try from another viewpoint: OEM like NVIDIA do not make their drivers FOSS because it makes device-specific features and improvements known. To make something work well

Further corroborative article to Wikipedia that gives a truer picture of history surrounding USS William D. Porter. Unlike the anecdata in this post, this counters with actual ship logs, recorded conversations, and ship schematics: https:&

*This* is your pick for a top-N conference in engineering? Seriously, a random conference with motley of papers from all kinds of EE topics self-hosted in China. If you are making a joke argument for argument's sake, merry Christmas

About 40 Chinese soldiers from unofficial sources, CIA reports etc, & ~20 soldiers on the Indian side. India seems to be more transparent on casualties here as the list of dead soldiers has been published in their newspapers/gazett

The biggest change will come from the individual DIMM chips going up to 256 GBs. Samsung has made DDR5 SDRAM up to 512GB per stick, but as per industry reports - they are datacenter-oriented SKUs. Notably, with higher speeds @ 6000~7200Mhz,

If we are talking about China-India equations, they are troubled too. China claims vast swathes of land all along the Himalayas, including two Indian states (as being part of ancient Southern Tibet). It is interesting that China recognizes

I hope this comment was made in jest or sarcasm. No respectable conference has replaced LaTeX with Word. Word is just a nightmare with typesetting scientific documents, with requirements for precise/fixed table & figure alignments,

The world collectively has allowed China to be able to throw its economic & supply chain weight on the rest of the world. If a state’s opinion runs contrary to Chinese whims, consequences follow. Lithuania isn’t the only country. Austra

Hardware manufacturers can ideologically target the libre flavor, but in practice it is next to impossible to deliver. Drivers are built to address specific hardware features. As features grow, so do system complexities and software calls.

Since it runs on Linux-libre, there is a good chance several devices/peripherals will fail to perform as intended. If the idea is to have a toy distro (working as a VM) to explore around, it’s looking great. But I don’t see why it will

I hopped from article to article, repo-to-repo in building products. I think this was a carryover from grad school when getting things done was more important than how it was done. This year, I plan to get less milestones. But each mileston

Not sure why the fixation on "kids pick it up just fine". The OS caters to a wide variety of people. If kids start with these design elements, by observing what parents do, they will do just fine. A similar argument can exist for

Windows Metro UI was not well received on the PC platform. But it was genuinely a leap forward in mobile space. It was very futuristic and ahead of its time.

It might be an unpopular opinion (in general), but OS 9 was actually beautiful. The design elements might look clunky by today's standards, but they were quite self-explanatory & functional, as compared to current macOS flat design
