What I really want isn't a special Ubuntu Phone. It's a proper Linux running on Android devices, that's tailored for mobile usage. This looks great but I'd like to see it on my Android phone instead of Android.

They mention writing crucial core functionality for apps in languages like C.

I've been contemplating the idea of a full fledged Linux as a mobile operating system for a while now. It's great to see that people have already been working on this. I like how it finally offers development in native languages that aren't

This is some very interesting stuff you want to do there. Try to reach that goal! There's nothing better for an engineer than challenges. Anyway, even in case you fall short of your goal, learning C can't be wrong. The language provides a v

I felt like I was forgetting 90% of the stuff I read in man pages too and I probably did. But reading them once showed me some of the possibilities those nifty little tools have. Sometimes when I approach a problem I remember one or two thi

The ultimate goals section lists mainly things I've done in 2012. I've benefited hugely from every single one and can only recommend those things to anyone (especially becoming a better C programmer).

I believe this article was mainly for educational purposes though.

My initial reaction was essentially the same (give or take a distro). The lockdown is really a shame, since thus far this is the most attractive tablet I've seen, especially with the keyboard. I'm pretty sure someone will be able to jailbre

I've just had a look at the CLI functionality. About a year ago I've been looking for something similar and couldn't find anything light enough which just let me add TODOs on the command line. I ended up writing my own in about a hundred li

Quad-Core GHz+ CPUs are "good enough" for every day code development? Seriously? We really do live in a world of bloatware if we need 4 cores to support an IDE or a classic editor + compiler/interpreter setup. This really reminds me of May'

This is so very true. Copy & Paste never made anyone better at anything (except for muscle memory in your left hand). For a while I typed out every single piece of code I used from the internet and it gave me a deeper understanding of w

Same here. I love working alone because I can hack away for hours undisturbed.

I'm certainly missing some background but if I had the time I'd work my way through it just for the hell of it. The problem he attempts solving here is extremely important so I welcome any attempts made at it.

Open source means you can have a look at what it actually does. So yes, after all it means that it will most probably do what it claims to do, because everyone (at least people who can code) could check and it takes just one person to hav

Debian is a great distribution. In fact, my first Linux was a Debian and I'm still running it on the server. On the desktop I'm using Fedora though - for no obvious reasons. It's just the one I stopped with when I was trying out distros.

No, you're not alone. I view headers as a wonderful way of documentation as well. Usually I've got a header file open on the left side of the screen while working on the implementation on the right side. It's extremely convient to work this

Personally I believe that in most applications, good performance is part of a good UX. 8 minutes of load time sounds like quite a lot but then again I don't know what application this is about and what's actually happening in those 8 minute

Great! I'm really fond of the idea of icon fonts and I'd like to use some of those icons on a web project of mine that I'm working on. I shall bookmark the link :)

I'd like this to be an icon font.

I wonder when "real-object-warez" becomes an actual reality. The technology is slowly getting there.

Because it's easy to spend since others accept it. Money itself has absolutely no value at all. It's more a promise that somebody will accept it when you want to buy something with it.

The impressive thing is the memory bandwidth though. That's the one thing I've always loved GPUs for.

Gilbert Strang's lectures are indeed very good. I've got a textbook on Linear Algebra written by him as well which is very good too. As I said, reviewing material will probably lead to insights you haven't had before. If you've got spare ti

There's probably not much new for you then. Pretty much everything in this book is covered in my Master Curriculum at least. The chapter on Quantum Algorithms looks interesting though. Quantum Computing is a bit of a mystery to me anyways.

As someone who has worked 60+ hour weeks as well as 20 hour weeks for longer periods I've always felt that working longer was doing me well. If I'm working about 40 hours or more I'm more focused during work and generally more relaxed when

I wonder why tablets like the Transformer has such a good battery life. Are x86 processors such power hogs?

I'm running on a Fedora install with very customized front end here (basically ditched everything and built from scratch) which is very easy on the resources (about 330Mb of RAM usage after boot) and I'm getting between 2 and 3 hours of bat
