Not OSS, but I know Galois use a lot of haskell in their work for largely government agencies (NASA, DoD, etc.) Perhaps the type of problems Haskell is apt to solve (those requiring strict correctness, etc.) are not typically open source so

When I lived in DC, I found it was largely tourists using it. No one I knew personally used it, outside of maybe trying it out once. It is really cool for the national mall, but riding it around the city is a little sketch unless you are ve

From what I understand, Apple engineers a lot of subtle power saving techniques into their hardware, e.g. powering down USB controllers when not in use. There was an article a few months back on hn that I'm trying to find.

Do Afghanistan and Iraq really count given they were invaded and their governments replaced with puppet regimes? How could the governments of Iraq and Afghanistan ever afford to say 'no' to the US?

I've heard fedora 25 does a good job of applying different scales to different monitors out of the box. > 16.10 applies the scale factor from the 4k display to the secondary display as well Though not surfaced in the UI, easy enough

I developed on one of those for a year. It was awesome for basic web development. I did a lot of react and ruby development on that thing. However, my workload eventually evolved to require running several docker containers (micro-services)

I've been looking for a good reason to try fedora--this may be it! Unfortunately, wayland doesn't work with my displaylink dock drivers, but you can't have something for nothing I suppose.

Alt had already been used to replace meta by the time the windows key came about. Therefore they mapped the windows key to super. You can blame Emacs users. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_key_(keyboard_button)

I am running linux on a 1440p laptop, and I will say the scaling is less than ideal. Works well for just the 1 screen. But unfortunately carries over to my external monitors (1080p) as well. I wind up downscaling to 1080p when I'm dock

I suspect it may just 'feel' slow, because it hides all the content from you until the fetch requests finish.

Did the rewrite coincide with the re-skinning of the UI? Because any gains in performance are imperceptible, as the UI now hides all content until the browser has completely finished fetching. So even if it is 'faster' the UX is a

I generally agree with you. To enjoy this subreddit, it's best to think of it more as a collection of in "depth" posts, than it is of "quality" posts. That means it often offers some really bad, but very long and de

A better move might have been to ship it with a USB-C/Thunderbolt cable, and a small adapter for USB-C -> USB. That way it still works out of the box, they get to keep their dongle eco-system and it pushes the new USB-C standard and
