I wrote a short, silly (C) program the other day. I ran it on a Mac and it kind of worked fine, but choked once in a while and stopped producing output. I had to Ctrl-C it. I wanted to troubleshoot it on Linux where I had proper dev tools installed. Unfortunately my Linux box broke. It would freeze and I had to reboot it. Turned out that my program had a bug and would go into an infinite recursion and allocate a lot of memory along the way. Mac continued to run without any problem, Linux had to be hard-rebooted. Hence I say Linux sucks on the desktop.
Saying nobody really likes it is easily proven wrong. I do like it. My employees manage their tasks through their mail boxes. Now reports, alerts and what not can be interactive and accompanied by forms where they can take action. Directly in the e-mail client. And once they are done, they move e-mail to the DONE folder. And they can use tags, search, filters, and what not. And suddenly we no longer need to build this functionality for the intranet.
The reason why e-mail is so limited is because back in the day Microsoft and others did not know how to make it secure. Time to move on and stop being a Luddite.
With only 40 employees (and mostly perl code-base), I would think DuckDuckGo is just a proxy for some web search API rather than a search engine? Microsoft provides such an API (for Bing-like results), not sure if DuckDuckGo uses that (but IIRC their ads came from Bing).
I have had to work on an older Gnome for a while (bundled with Debian jessie). Gnome title bars are humongous. I thought this was utter crap - who would want to use a terminal that wastes so much screen estate for a useless title bar?! But now I see that Gnome designers put some profound thinking into that - make the title bar so annoying that killing it becomes easier. Excellent job Gnome, I suggest you should make title bars larger still to silence the remaining nay-sayers.
I have an ancient iPhone 4 and it has gotten agonisingly slow. I no longer use it to browse the web. I thought that was because web pages got more and more bloated as devices got faster. But sometimes the phone freezes when I try to take a photo. In theory that could be caused by the power surge related to reading GPS coordinates (and then the phone would delay the start of the camera app). Anyone swapped the battery in iPhone4 and noticed a performance boost?
As long as this little feature is not present, few Chrome users will switch to Firefox. For me it was an instant turn off, even more so on an old Gnome desktop with those preposterously humongous (humongously preposterous?) title bars.
Come on FF, this is a _title_ bar, makes perfect sense to show tab titles there!
The bigger the number the more true the reasoning...
In the old days we would have need only _one_ scientist, one with a sound argument. There was one Pitagoras, one Tales, one Copernicus, one Einstein.
15ooo scientists - this is a disgrace.
I remember a talk by some unenthusiastic Novell(?) engineer talking about OpenOffice a couple years ago. He would say things like you know, this really sucked, now it sucks a little less. No corporate bs, no nothing. I was quite impressed. Maybe someone will be able to provide a youtube link.
I bet that most people that freak out over the global warning go for their holiday to Florida or the south of Spain. So, maybe warm weather is not that bad after all?
In Netherlands the number of cars per capita is the lowest in highly developed countries. The public transport is very good (easy to do in a country with such a big population density) and bikes are everywhere. People that commute by trains will often have two bikes - one at each station. In Amsterdam it is simply not practical to have a car. You need a parking permit to park it in front of your house (and parking permits are a sparse good), parking in the city center is 5EUR/hour. That being said, I am curious what they are going to do to (Royal Dutch) Shell.
Does it make the climate colder? Sun beams no longer reach the ground / roof tiles etc. but are consumed by solar panels which turn them into electricity.

Surely their own employees eat their own dog food?
I'm not going to name the company lest doing so hurt the stock value.
Buy short options and then make it public. The stock will plummet and you will get rich.
Will this Google startup still exist by then?

The latest iOS version available for iPhone 4 was iOS7, I hold on to iOS6 (with nice 3D UI controls and... what was that called...? skeuomorphism)

This could mean that the year of the Linux desktop is finally coming.

Not if you live in the hispanic world...

So this global warming thing is not a scam?
Instead of all this camera tech, one time keys etc. why not simply provide a locker box outside the house? Could be used for regular mail as well.
What about the Witcher? I thought Netflix was in talks with the studio that did the game?
This must be the global warming!

deployment at only 0.09% of all HTTPS sites. By August 2017, that needle had barely moved to 0.4%
That's 444% growth. If PKP was a startup, its stock would surge.

Somehow a little carbon dioxide (that will be consumed by plants) bothers me less than ugly windmills on the hills of Andalucia.
I would be impressed if they banned bikes.

And the news about BSD is placed at linux.slashdot.org...
