I like Persona and – about a year ago – was thinking of using the service in a medium sized project I'm managing. I did some experiments and it (technically) worked fine for our purposes, and educating users on its use didn't seem

I had the same confusion after seeing the headlines, but after reading the respective articles, I think the point is that happiness and non-focussed dreamy state are helpful in freely exploring problems and links semi-consciously – sort of

Maybe they should do a crowd funding campaign, if anything those requests seem to get more media attention and hence momentum. Lots of people use Gnupg indirectly ("infrastructurally" if that's a word...) and might simply not

I haven't tried it yet, but at first glance, a lot of work and thought went into this tool: query parser, SQL, VFS layer, fingerprinting, file move detection ("repair"). The code looks pretty readable and well organised too.

Funny, I'd put it the other way around. Isn't searching what we do when we don't know exactly where something is? And – admitting I might not be a stereotypical computer user as my files have a high level of organisation – is

I enabled spdy4 in Chromium on Debian "unstable" but the website doesn't seem to think it's on. What are we supposed to see?

My Jolla phone has a Samsung Pro 64GB microSDXC card in it (Btrfs formatted, "raw" without partitions). It works well. Samsung seems to call it "64GB microSDHC Pro" in some places though, so the problem here might be ter

I have a Jolla phone. I ordered one during the pre-order period after my N9 suicide-dived out of my backpack and had an unlucky meeting with the floor. Similar state as the N9: nice interface, some good UI ideas, semi-open Linux based OS, m

Being interested in Linux/Unix, file systems, crypto or whatever other technical topic doesn't necessarily mean you are also interested in developing graphical interfaces. That's an art form and discipline in itself. I suppos

I guess initially Gtk was preferred because of the licensing confusion around Qt while Gtk was clearly GNU open-source. Maybe Firefox for Linux would be based on Qt if it were started today; it would probably help for mobile. I doubt anybod

Interesting. I speak 6 languages and actively think in 3–4 of those, and I notice slight changes in my attitudes and behaviour depending on the active language in my head. It might be interesting to experiment and find out if not just the f

As someone who has been attacked and/or robbed several times in cities like Brussels, two things I'm sad to have learned: 1) Your reality changes. At any point, in every street, someone/some gang can step up and change your s

Setting up your own mail server is a thorny problem. I've been setting up my (family's) own mail server, and despite having lots of experience, it has taken a month already. Even when encryption, authentication, spam and sieve fil

First I assumed it was related to timber (though I'm squarely from a metric culture). I see the 6 and 4 as being equal and congruent, so I don't imagine one number as multiplier of a lot of some other thing or visually as groups o

"I'm a man. I haven't had sex in two days. It hurts. I need some. Badly. Where do I find women looking for a man? Wait... Of course... Dating sites. Surely if I message 100 women, at least one must want to have sex, just like

The very first thing I did as a teen when I tried the internet in '95 or '96 was to pretend to be a woman in a chatroom (I realise how weird that must sound). That brief experience was a valuable lesson and taught me how not to ta

The concept is technically interesting, but I don't want my e-mail address to be harvested by third parties and sold for marketing purposes. I am not a lawyer, but in the EU (which is where I assume you are located) data privacy regula

Nice idea, reminds me of ncd from a far away, foggy past. I suggest some escaping on the directory name parameter though. If you're not careful, you're going to run into trouble with paths that have spaces or risk some nasty secur

It doesn't seem to accept IDN addresses, though it's able to resolve the punycode equivalent just fine. I was just implementing email and name validation checks for a project myself. Luckily email addresses can at least be validat

Large corporations have the money to run huge applications on serious systems, and might get a slight performance benefit from running Java. Try running it on virtual servers for small web applications though... It's painful. Compared to Py
