Re:Node v7.5.0 Released on Friday February 03, 2017 @11:08AM (#13560759)
I don't keep up with node end ES version compliance but is there a scheduled release that'll target all ES6 features?
Re:Announcing GVFS: Git Virtual File System on Friday February 03, 2017 @11:04AM (#13560720)
Just to make sure I have this right, this has to do with the _amount_ of files in their repo and not the _size_ of the files? So projects like git annex and LFS would not help the speed of the git repos?
Re:Announcing Rust 1.8 on Thursday April 14, 2016 @08:44PM (#11501338)
I haven't quite looked but is there a timeline for when compiler plugins will be stabilized? Interested in using serde but would prefer using macros
Wasn't aware of that, though the current performance of nouveau is pretty horrendous. At least for newer cards. It's a bit unfortunate but to essentially have a working card you must have the proprietary drivers installed.
I have this exact machine with an i7 and do not get anywhere as low as 2 hours. Do you have bumblebee installed? It sounds like you might have the dedicated graphics runnign at all times, which is the case if you don't have e bumblebee + bbswitch installed.
Re:GPG signature verification on Tuesday April 05, 2016 @03:28PM (#11433571)
Got an error: "There was an error parsing that key. Check that the key is valid and try again." Cool.

Edit: It seems to like my key now...?

I've been signing my commits for at least a year now so it's nice that they added this. I think it adds another layer of author verification other than maybe SoB.

Re:Dear Skype/Microsoft: Problems with Linux client on Wednesday February 24, 2016 @11:06AM (#11167748)
Don't waste your time, they don't know what they're talking about. I've found most people that complain about ABI breakage usually don't.
Re:Rewrite the OS, Change the World on Monday October 20, 2014 @09:31PM (#8485498)
The writing in this leads me to believe that this person knows very little about how operating systems work, or what they even are.
Re:Mac OS X Yosemite Under the Magnifying Glass on Thursday June 05, 2014 @05:28PM (#7854662)
The new folder icons are extremely reminiscent of the old Oxygen icons included in KDE.

See: http://dl.maximumpc.com/galleries/linuxguide3/kde4-dolphin.p...

The RPi is essentially a PC, the only real difference is that it uses an ARM processor so yes, I'd assume it would be rather easy.
Considering GitHub is essentially entirely closed source, I doubt there will be a change of heart.

Re:How GitHub No Longer Works on Thursday November 14, 2013 @06:05PM (#6736384)
It's very easy to be a part of the the problem when you're not contributing to a solution. It's also very easy to say a lot about nothing. I mean that in that you source no projects that have gone the way you described.
Re:Fix Ubuntu on Friday November 08, 2013 @02:12PM (#6698421)
That is completely subjective. A lot of people hate Unity, the same way people hate every DE that exists. So much so that some do not even use a DE. Using a DE as an argument for Ubuntu's advantage is weak as they're usually ambiguous. I say usually because it tends to be that Unity, like Mir, isn't really adopted into any other distribution in official repositories. Even more so after Mir's release, since it'll be dependent on it.
Maybe you should actually use something before forming an opinion on it. Your lack of knowledge with vim is pretty obvious given that you didn't know that you could use your mouse.
The point of vim and its key bindings is to not have to use anything other than the keyboard (and keys that are not too off from the home row), so it's not the best of both worlds at all. Having to click on something forces someone to use their mouse, breaking their concentration and wasting time on clicking on a tab.
Re:There are 10 types of good programmers on Sunday October 20, 2013 @02:21PM (#6580847)
I would more than likely fall under the second type. Growing up relatively poor my family didn't have a computer, and neither did the majority of other family members. It wasn't until my mid teens that I finally had access to a computer and at that time MySpace was popular amongst friends so only thing I got into at the time was HTML and CSS. It wasn't until years later that I picked up a lower level language. At times I feel jealous of those that had access to a computer at a young age and were exposed to learning a language, but in the long run that doesn't really matter as long as both types can do the same thing. I didn't grow up writing programs but that doesn't mean I'm slow to pick anything up.

While I don't think you're trying to discredit her, I definitely think there was someone helping her and coaching her. I don't think that makes her effort any less important, but I think it'd make sense to at the very least acknowledge it.

Re:Huge water reserve discovered in Kenya on Tuesday September 10, 2013 @11:06PM (#6365271)
Cmon, you can't really expect an audience base that is probably mostly introverted and cynical to actually find joy in reading about a positive find in a third world country could you? In all seriousness though, I think this can be well developed if it isn't exploited by privatization. Since, ya know, most things that would be greatly beneficial to developing countries usually are.
Re:That Time I Made A Website on Monday September 02, 2013 @04:00PM (#6316846)
I recently got to learning CSS, HTML and launched my own website using bootstrap that I host at home on a rinky dink Thinkpad X40. Would anyone be interested in seeing that? I'm a male though, so probably not huh? Also running an instance of gitlab, wordpress, owncloud and I had no prior knowledge of how apache worked about a month and a half ago.
Re:The CODE Keyboard on Tuesday August 27, 2013 @07:58PM (#6287154)
"I'm just happy to live in a world where the first truly great mechanical keyboard finally exists now." That's subjective. To me this keyboard is average and over priced. I personally hate that keyboard layout, so for me, this isn't the first truly great keyboard.
Re:Life without a cell phone on Tuesday August 27, 2013 @01:53PM (#6285011)
For the past 3 years I haven't had a cell phone, that is up until about 6 months ago when a friend gave me a Samsung Mesmerize. I don't have a line and only use Google Voice to receive texts, and I make calls through Talkatone.
