Instead of XPSs, we bought Precisions 15 5000 at work [1]. They are basically XPS 15, (virtually indistinguishable apart for the engraving on the bottom), but you can spec them to bits (you can even get a Xeon processor if you want,have the

I should have probably added that I run Arch on my personal machine (XPS15, infinity display). The arch wiki is absolutely great, but it doesn't have much/any info for some (newer) laptops (e.g. XPS15 9550, X1 Carbon 4th gen..)

That does sound very very nice. How's the screen like? Do you see pixels when reading text/code? If my calculations are correct, the Dell Chromebook has 169PPI, while the MBP 13 has a 227 PPI display.

I should probably point out that my personal machine is a Dell XPS 15 (infinity display), on which I run Arch. Almost everything works, but I'm having trouble with a couple of things: Graphics. It has switchable intel/nvidia but I

Since this was for clojurecup, we have decided to remove all references to Scala. :P On a more serious note, we've only indexed ~25 courses and probably the ones you refer to weren't among them; if you have a particular course in

Am I the only one here who thinks that maybe a petition asking Mozilla to pressure Eich to step down may be a better solution to this? I seems that all the years of contributions and sacrifices by the community to build a great product, fig

I'd really love to see that! So much of my undergraduate coursework felt like a complete waste of time since it was essentially throw away work. As a plus, a teacher/TA is marking the work anyways, so you might have several people
