Sounds weird. Applying pressure to plastics case covering aluminum frame should not crash anything. Have you tried calling support? Since we are sharing anecdotal evidence here's mine: I traveled 5 countries with my Thinkpad in last ye

Too little and too late. It took then years to finally announce (partial) Linux support. By this time most multiplatform users like myself tired of waiting and switched to other password managers like LastPass.

This is an annoying problem indeed but there is an easy workaround. Here is a script I use whenever I ran out of space on /boot partitition: https://gist.github.com/vzaliva/bee68ed709ddd2724791a56714ec...

Looks cool. I am trying to avoid manually installing software, especially on production machines. It makes it difficult to maintain and upgrade. Any plans for `apt` package?

It is odd they do not use URLs (or URIs) with 'upspin' scheme.

John von Neumann[1] you had in mind died 1957, while the car built was finished in 1959. So I guess it is a different one. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann

I've implemented Tetris 5 or 6 times over the period of 20+ years. This is my standard exercise to learn/try a new platform. I wrote one in C for custom smart phone/PDA prototype we were developing in 1994, then I wrote one i

It is unclear from description (and I am too lazy to read the code) how it works. The first question is whether such paper "bill" would guarantee payment. Could issuer refuse to pay it, when presented. In other words such paper bi

I wonder what is viewable screen size in sq. mm. of different Pebble watches. I suspect they compromised on screen size a lot on this model and make it look bigger via wide bezel. Anybody have real data? It also would be good to see a side-

I was lucky to work a little with Dave on JIKES project and I was very impressed by both his professional and human skills. I am glad to hear about his new old project and wish him very good luck with it!

I went through the same disillusionment. My solution was go from the routine of learning of 20th programming language or mastering 100th API back to fundamentals computer science. Go deeper and explore beautiful mathematical concepts behind
