While I agree with you, I think you're forgetting how little competition there is as far as desktop OSes go. Microsoft is practically trying to run Windows 10 into the ground (disable pro features with the anniversary update, then fo

I have a t450s and have been running Fedora since last version, never had any problems that weren't related to what I changed on the OS. I'd consider the user experience overall to be more smooth than Windows, though not quite per

You're greatly over simplifying early American politics. Neither the French nor English were a consistent "common enemy". Rather there was extensive debate as to which would be/was a better ally or worse foe, and the US

Maybe easy open source implementations of GPUs/video hardware, for the libre everything types.

The people who were hit the hardest are still growing up, and many of them yet to reach voting age. I think change will come, but that will be after the death of the old guard (from age), and when this generation becomes the largest voting

Attacking Turkey would (arguably could) invoke NATO, and start a war which Russia would certainly lose. That's a sign of sanity, not wisdom.

Spotify pays artists as much as piracy does, in many cases, while be socially acceptable and normalized. For example, I got a book at Barnes and Noble the other day, and when I responded to the cashier's pitch for a Barnes and Noble ca

While I agree tech is hurting music, the recording industry has been ripping off artists since records were popular. The entirety of Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, for example, is about artists not making any money off their mus

I think authoritarian left wing communist "transition states", are what most people mean by communism now. The word has evolved and changed meaning. Also, I believe that because the two are synonymous, and there never was any &quo

The real exciting part about this (to me) is the potential for a full fledged linux altoids tin computer. Suddenly the something like the Pyra/Open Pandora is a lot more realistic. Or even a (usable) hobbyist diy phone.

What do you mean by ARM being more interesting than MIPS?

But Google also more or less owns the market now. Back then it was anyone's game (and internet usage in tdeveloped countries was growing rapidly, making the market a bit more volatile).

I think your problem is avoiding AP classes. They claim to be college prep, but from my experience (no citation, sorry) they're more the level that the entire education system should be working on. I do not remember learning a single t

This is fascinating, malware is being distributed in broad daylight by companies registered and operating in developed countries. Attacks from single users in, or pretending to be in, Eastern Europe or some other area with weaker unauthoriz

Honestly I'm surprised this doesn't happen more. While yes, it was a very kind gesture by Ulukaya to give his employees partial ownership, it also makes each of them much more involved in the long term success of the company. Putt

Another commentor expressed it, but JuiceSSH is proprietary. In most cases open source is more of a preference for me than a necessity, but I may need to sudo or access root over SSH, and there's no way to review closed source code. Ju

Even though I prefer email to all other protocols, that would be a great way to kill my inbox. It seems a but counter intuitive, but having so many chat/communication standards acts as a way to organize all my messaging activity. Email

Human culture, I guess if you step back far enough. I say culture because I don't think makeup is tied to genetics.

That women wear it daily while it doesn't even cross most guy's minds. Also that women wear it, and are expected to wear it, to look better while, again, the concept rarely crosses most men's minds.

Well, it exists everywhere, but so does sexism.

I was inferring global human culture, we didn't really develop in vacuums. And pardon my wording, I meant species, but I felt that'd imply that women were biologically disposed to wear makeup, which obviously I don't believe

Maybe Minecraft will change the industry before any of us can cook up a good solution to the gender gap.

The fact that makeup exists speaks a lot about our culture and how it views women.

Jimmy Carter was also an engineer, and as much as people hated him at the time, he was a very honest and responsible leader in hindsight.

I don't think this situation is about it, but I've heard of that being done with a loophole/abuse of the H1B system. Tech jobs will be posted for a fraction of what they would normally pay, not receive any applications, and t

Is sexism a side effect of engineers being assholes or is engineers being assholes a problem because sexism exists so much in the first place? It's very easy to blame a company or a subculture as being sexist, but no one thinks about h

There's no one you can really blame it on, but I think her thinking that is a result of the fact that we live in a very sexist society. Women are expected to grow up as essential gears in that machine, keeping each other in check and n
