This coreboot that is on every chromebook, and itself implements the UEFI standard? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coreboot#History Big companies will do open consumer friendly prod…

Being on-call, with rounds switching among peers every week is an option.

Been to a few of these cities a couple of times. The development and culture is amazing to see. The Shanghai museum is well curated, dongzhimen st. in Beijing is great for food. Ve…

And yet, engineering/scientific knowledge is exactly that more politicians need and vice versa, the political skill (civic engagement) is what engineers/scientists need if they're …

The opposite of everything you just said. People need to be fucking responsible and learn what is right, if you need to experiment, make mistakes, fine. You are personally responsi…

I can name one engineer who was president, Jimmy Carter. How many politicians in general are engineers or scientists? How many are in positions Sam mentions? My guess would be Engi…

I do like the vim-ness of xmonad in this video, and the tabs, and context awarness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70IxjLEmomg Will need to work on getting these features through …

*music is almost DRM free.

Once I had compiz working, it's been gnome exclusively. Fluxbox was easy to configure with multiple monitors and customize in general. Just tried xmonad with xmonad --replace, and …

I was looking forward to kde4 until the slow/buggy reality hit. Maybe it was my graphics drivers, but the kicker successor never delivered for me. I switched to fluxbox for a while…

As others have mentioned, music is almost copyright free. Book publishers like springer will sell you watermarked ebooks, and you can find almost any game actually worth your time …

Why do you need a car when you can walk? Why use encryption when you can physically hide things? The answer to these questions and more is that when it isn't about faster/better/ch…

If this were true in media, Mickey Mouse wouldn't still be copyrighted. DRM is recent, very recent, compared to analog media. It seems like the industry binged on copyright a littl…

If you only used fingerprinting/watermarking instead of DRM, you could very well imagine an alternate model where creators are rewarded, and can find an audience a bit better, pira…

I wouldn't write it off so easily, it makes sense as an open source alternative to google's project treble albeit with parts of android still running underneath. A stable linux HAL…

If contracts weren't around in 2007, the Neo 1973 might have done better, but the price point was still high and is too high today compared to a $50 phone from amazon. Wanted one, …

Thanks Li, seems like http://udash.io/ would be a more direct comparison to GWT.

About as well as jquery-ui or bootstrap would deal with browser inconsistencies if that's what you use for pre-made widgets/forms/layouts/themes/etc.. as other have said, you can u…

You're asking me to believe the ranking that has assembly or basic in the top 10 over github's rankings. No thanks.

Li Haoyi (scala.js author) explains why he worked on scala.js pretty well: http://www.lihaoyi.com/post/FromfirstprinciplesWhyIbetonScal... Using scala.js with jquery-ui or any othe…

Looking at http://www.rtl-sdr.com/tag/passive-radar/ and youtube, it seems like some progress has been made. Not sure if any of the code is open sourced in GNU Radio, Desktop SDR o…

Thanks for posting links to the videos and the meetup group, would've joined it years ago if I'd known about it. Quick question, anything radar related in the videos?

I'm not against renting, or something as a service etc.. I'm just saying the benefits of actually owning something you need pays for itself. If you're new to skiing and want to try…

If you need them, even as an investment, you can always rent out a house. Having a small car as a daily driver and a big one for a family car makes sense. There are drivers that re…
