You try 3D printing a house on a Pentium, or running inference models. We needed the compute. We need so much compute it boggles the mind and we don't know what to do with it. Only…

Denver is taking the same approach, and, really, it's the only tool we have for preventing huge increases in traffic as population increases and actually getting people to rely on …

We continue paying more for demonstrably worse care and outcomes than our global peers. Single payer needs to happen, now. Medicare for All.

I learned some cool new features coming in Ruby 2.7 and I am very much looking forward to them now. The rest of this post is drivel, complaints, and ends with begging questions ans…

This is good for everyone. Hopefully the adoption is swift and we can pretend the myriad Thunderbolt/USB-C/USB 3.0 issues, differences, and confusion never happened.

The Incredible Shrinking Sears https://nyti.ms/2uOeTsH

I didn't know they sold homes. Kind of amazing. It's a surprising footnote in the tragedy of Sears. The popular narrative of an out-of-touch company unable to compete with the like…

It's not all doom and gloom. Major American cities are also being invaded by a litany of battery powered vehicles, especially through ebike and electric scooter rental services. So…

I think most of us want our code to see the light of day. If given an actual problem to solve, we aren't going to toil away at tiny details forever. We want to see it run! A good m…

I was lucky that my first technical role was where I found the best manager I've had. He was my 2nd supervisor in that first role. After that I got to be pickier than most about wh…

He tore down barriers and made sure interactions with other parts of the organization or external parties were as frictionless as possible. He would take any non-technical chores o…

I bring my own laptop to work, which runs a linux distro I installed myself (Ubuntu). I also have to use my camera and mic quite a bit, so, they remain free of obstructions most of…

This story is very thin on details, but with the abysmal quality level of most Samsung software it is 100% believable.

That's literally what the OP did. A 1950X is only $799 now, so less than half a top end i9.

I misread the headline. I was really worried I wouldn't be able to search C-SPAN archives anymore. I'm glad I can still find old clips of bonehead senators trying to grandstand at …

Mickey has been on the verge of entering the public domain for decades now. Every time it gets close Disney and other companies are successful in re-writing copyright law to whatev…

The GPD Pocket fits this bill. It was available with Ubuntu pre-installed during it's crowd sourcing campaign. The support under Ubuntu is pretty good, including good support for t…

10000mah and an ARM A53 mean it should last 10 hours or more with moderate brightness settings. It's hard to beat this for a light cheap terminal/browser with plenty of battery if …

Pretty sure the are just banking on SpaceX dominating the global space launch services market for the next few years. Signs increasingly point to this being a safe bet. The valuati…

Impressed a girl once who's friend had a Mac Classic with important files that needed to be removed. The only removable storage option was a broken floppy drive. It did have a netw…

While it is a good idea to spread to credit for SpaceX's acheivements around, Musk himself has done more engineering of products at SpaceX and Tesla than any of his peers. His titl…

Newer Intel chips seem to render it fine in Chrome on Linux. i7-8550U laptop here running Ubuntu 16.04.

The UX design is very well executed. This feels so polished. The floating graphs in the background, the individual paths under the chart, etc. It's all very well done with lots of …

Expected the new XPS to have a developer flavor soon, but also expected it to be limited to 16GB still. Was not surprised since the Windows version has the same limit. Went ahead a…

Came here to vote for this. I even published an app to their store during the ~2 weeks it looked like HP was going to throw their weight behind the TouchPad. It was really ahead of…
