Well, I wouldn't run Gentoo on it. Compiling Chromium takes about a day, and I'm not a big multimedia user. But in day-to-day development work (both client-side and server-side) I'…

And updated UX305CA works great with a 4.5 kernel.

Yes, you are right about local storage. I just had my browser locked down too tightly. But, yes, looking forward to really using it at work this week. I hope to have more useful/co…

This is nice work! I've already downloaded it and started using it. The workflow is absolutely perfect, and is exactly what I have always wanted in a task manager. It fits with my …

CFEngine has really great, comprehensive, reference documentation and really very poor, basically non-existent, tutorial or getting-started information. In order to actually get wo…

I honestly can't decide if the news that many scheme implementations encourage you to not follow the standard refutes or supports my point. Either way, good to know. ...gets back t…

I was in the same boat until I finally read this (chapter 8): http://www.scheme.com/tspl3/ Scheme may be simple, but scheme macros are not. They go way overboard in trying to prote…

It's too easy to tease, but I will try to resist. But, seriously, they've been talking about this GPU work for upwards of a 1.5 years now. Usually we get something to play with, ev…

I'd be grateful if anyone could point me to the actual code for this. I'd like to give it a try for myself, but all I seem to be able to dig up is research papers.

Digsby has never kept secret the fact that they were considering grid-computing as one possible way to monetize their product: http://blog.digsby.com/archives/68 The license agreem…

Good to know, thanks.

Haven't used it, but Erlang bindings: http://dukesoferl.blogspot.com/2008/06/tokyocabinet-and-mnes...

Oh, I don't for a second dispute that JavaScript is a much more elegant language than Java, and I would also put it on par with Python. Remember, jQuery is always my first choice. …

I think such a developer (one that has strong knowledge of both JavaScript and Java/Python/Objective-C and still feels compelled to use one of the abstractions) doesn't really exis…

You mean like: http://firevox.clcworld.net/ And there's this very exciting new development: http://webanywhere.cs.washington.edu/wa.php Just for completeness, I'll add this link: h…

I was about to respond that they had moved my house about 40 miles---that's where it was when I first noticed this problem two weeks or so ago---but when I just went to maps to con…

It is dangerous territory, tread carefully. I've seen situations where "exclusive partnership" means "this is threatening to us, we want to put this on a shelf and get it off the m…

I realize this is just having fun, but I'm often reading this-or-that to the effect that startups are bad for your health. And, I just don't get it. Or rather, I suppose, I expect …

And again... I'm putting a few finishing touches on a port of Distel to PLT Scheme that I plan to release this week. I mention it now only because I would hate to see this article …

I hate to be a ditto-head, but I couldn't agree more. If they have bigger teams and more money, that almost always means you have the advantage. The only way you can lose is if you…
