I've never had a problem with Arch linux. Why not run a stable rolling release instead?

Work for MongoDB. You can get paid to work on open source software 100% of the time.

Why would anyone buy this over the much more powerful ARMv7 odroid-C1 for $35 that has been out for months now?

The odroid blows it away. I've had mine for about two months and love it.

No. I think what the BSDs do is great and they are fantastic for servers of varied types and sizes however running it on a laptop is backwards. The power management and hardware support just aren't there, even in Linux, to rival the k

I'm not so sure I like this feature. One of the best parts about getting a new card is having all those things you forgot about that were still charging you $5 a month slip away by getting a fresh number. I think of it as financial spr

I never understood BSD on laptops. It's like oil and water. The realm of many things BSD is great at does not include power management or hardware support so you will be guaranteed to be unhappy with it.

Basically all of them. Linux loves thinkpads. I've personally run it on an old 770ED, T41P, T60, X301, and X1 Carbon flawlessly over decades.

Yeah someone also asked him if they did "code reviews" while developing Unix. The response always makes me laugh. Interviewer: Was there any concept of looking at each other's code or doing code reviews? KT: [Shaking head] We

Is this a racist question to be asking in an interview? I seem to remember some back story about people being imprisoned and forced to solve this problem during the Vietnam war (possibly in a tower -- for extra meta level punishment).

Actually it's my understanding that they are all essentially the same chip cut from the same dye. What differentiates the chips with the higher clock speed from hose with the lower speeds is that they heat up less quickly during testin

I built a system like this one that we coined "daily update" and supporting the concept of a non uniform morning was just a matter of using timezones. Each employee had a timezone setting that was automatically detected but could

Yup, python's packaging is even awful for the users. Half of the time pip cannot determine what version of a package to install for a given version of python on its own. "pip install --upgrade"? Gross. However, you know what

rbenv is much better and doesn't overwrite "cd" (yes the builtin command). I thought everyone moved away from rvm years ago?

Agreed, basically the most incorrect thing I've ever read on the Internet. Windows 2000 was amazing.

It looks like they both have Mali GPUs which are very well supported by Linux. I was considering getting an ODroid board from hard kernel which has the same GPU and is able to play tekken, run OpenGL applications etc, but this seems like a

Good luck writing anything but C89 with visual studio. This project sounds amazing and I'm going to probably try it but Microsoft has abandoned C for a while now so visual studio is a complete turn off for this use case.

Let me get this straight. You bought a tablet you love but every time you want to use it you have to turn the wifi off and back on? How the heck is Microsoft still in business selling garbage like that in their own store which is supposed t
