We have a similar initiative here in Minnesota: https://minnesota.repair.org/ I really like this idea and would like to see it come to fruition. It's a nice check on consumerism and planned obsolescence.

In my experience, everything from Jupiter Broadcasting [0] is extrememly top-notch and informative. I'd highly recommend all of their shows (including BSD Now!) [0] http://jupiterbroadcasting.com

GNOME has had systemd as a hard dependency since 2012: it uses systemd-logind and a few other systemd services for its basic functionality. systemd is only available on Linux systems, therefore it's a pretty great achievement to get it

There's an organization in Minneapolis which does a similar thing. It's called Free Geek Twin Cities, and they recycle old PCs and put Ubuntu on them. It's about $40 for a computer, or one can earn one by volunteering for 24

KeePass works better is you set it up to use Auto-Type, which sends keystrokes to the window manager to type the passwords into the fields.

What exactly is this? It looks to me like a multiplayer vaporwave-inspired shirt maker.

Heller's outline for Catch-22 is especially notable due to the story's non-linear plotline. I found it extremely useful when reading it the first time trough, since the plot is so difficult to follow.

It's important to remember that anecdotal evidence is not scientific in any way. Just because there exists "peoples' wisdom" doesn't mean that this wisdom is correct. This is why science exists in the first place, t

It's nice to see DuckDuckGo mentioned at the end as on-par with Google, Siri, and OnStar. I'm a little surprised they mentioned DDG in the first place, as it doesn't have nearly the name recognition as Bing or Yahoo search.

In the 1960s, La Monte Young wrote a piece entitled The Well-Tuned Piano , a riff on J. S. Bach's The Well-Tempered Klavier . It features an equally-tuned piano, so each interval is mathematically correct, rather than being the stand

Hey, I think it's pretty cool, and I'd like to see a write-up of how he did it. Plus it's good advertising for their firm, assuming they don't get sued or anything.

I don't think it's intentional in any respect, rather I'd wager it's more of a bug in Knowledge Graph or the search algorithm or something similar. Even if it was intentional, Breitbart is a right-wing news outlet and so

The depth requirement is 500m to 1500m. Though cliffs can be much taller than this, they usually are not totally vertical and cannot accomodate this much depth. Disclaimer, not a geologist.

At my high school, we have a fairly well-funded PLTW[0] program. We have some nice resources, like FPGA boards and Autodesk CAD software. Perhaps if these devices were somehow integrated into a PLTW or similar standardized curriculum, they

Congrats to the researchers. Looks like it has some potential. I think using visual programming languages for teaching concepts is a good idea. They're great for establishing the logical constructs of computer science, but they are la

In your examples, you are comparing KDE apps with GNOME apps. Though the KDE ones are all Qt and the GNOME ones are all GTK, it's not really a fair comparison since GNOME and KDE have different design objectives (KDE strives to be more
