A very clever immutable Linux distro, and is the basis for the excellent PiCorePlayer, a favourite of mine to run Squeezebox clients (and/or Lyrion music server) on any Pi https://…

After finding Even Better TOML was eating all the memory in VS Code and that it is no longer maintained, I found an improved linter and formatter in Tombi. It integrates with lots …

An OS security architecture for the Linux kernel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLASK

It's worse than that because the PEP 8 sytle guide specifically mentions to avoid using l as a name! http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#names-to-avoid

I agree however you forgot to mention the excellent Geany, which looks more comparable, and I think it be better for a developer to spend time improving that rather than porting a …

I have learned to touch type properly using http://www.typingweb.com and I think it's fantastic but I don't know how it compares to Mavis Beacon.

You can actually watch torrents while they download, its called sequential downloading and many clients support it.

Since he has already written about it (88%), I don't think many people will take that wager :D http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/01/trouble-in-the-hous...

Reading your post reminded me of this interesting TED talk that echo's some of the problems you raise: http://www.ted.com/talks/andrew_mwenda_takes_a_new_look_at_a...

I find it strange that more people have not brought up the 'lost-sale' fallacy. By saying 'no' he actually loses out in the end because if the magazine is only looking for free pho…

Don't bother going to the Microsoft site, where you have to install Silverlight to watch a video, just use Youtube to watch the 7 part series: http://www.youtube.com/results?search…

The comment on the youtube video links to the entire series on the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/feynman/ Not sure if available to watch outside UK but they are the same as on …

Thanks. That should really be the link instead of a 5 year old O'Reilly advertisement...

I fail to see what the problem is being 'stuck' with AMD, Linux, and Gimp. We we would no longer have the abuse of patents, propriety standards and DRM which in the end would benef…

I can imagine next week someone will be posting 'How dangerous is a small smouldering fire in the corner of a server room?'

You can easily remove the Kindle DRM using Calibre and some plugins.

Especially that the offer does not seem particularly good since they are only ebooks and seem overpriced in the first place. The physical books are already cheaper on Amazon and ki…

This piece gives a run down of all the analysts claims, with some calculating a $50 profit instead but as you can imagine none of it is substantiated. http://news.cnet.com/8301-102…

AFAIK there is no substantial evidence that the Kindle Fire is being sold as a loss leader however I can imagine the profit margins are slim.

Really interesting yet scary account, not what I was expecting! Google Cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:KLIEiKs...

Articles I used read about B&O products were always rated as mediocre by audiophiles. Basically looks good but sound was nothing special. This article is way to long and seems to c…

Which, as I said, would be at least another year away. My response was to you bringing up the topic of security so I simply addressed that with details of Ubuntus LTS. Other than t…

Why do that when 11.04 is supported until the end of 2012 and 10.04 would only extend that by 6 months. A lot can happen in a year and I'm sure someone will create a flavour of Ubu…
