Or the command line way: https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-23-workstation-t... (Which is available now, while the GUI will be available at a later time.)

I think this story also shows the problems with patents. If Takata was allowed to use the mixture that was "invented" by other airbag makers, would they have used their dangerous a…

Well, I do it too. It's just for convenience, you use the apostroph character much more frequently in ordinary language.

I was wondering if GitLab provides a Markdown editor that could be used by non-technical users directly from the web interface? Something like Prose[1], Dillinger[2] or StackEdit[3…

Fixed costs aren't totally fixed, it's just that they won't change for every unit produced. But it may be the case that they will change when you produce say an additional 100 unit…

I would prefer the T460 (or the bigger T560), just because the battery of the T460s isn't user replaceable.

I think that the gist of the article is that you can be more creative (i.e. come up with ideas that hardly anyone thought of before), if you have more distance from culture. In oth…

This is really a problem I think. Maybe GitLab could reconsider to adopt a licensing model[1] for the Enterprise Edition that would make it more Free Software friendly? [1] I.e. a …

They're probably talking about the wireless network adapter here, not the CPU. If that's what you're implying.

This reminds me of one of my first programming jobs as external consultant for the Baggage Handling System at Schiphol in 2000/2001, I was 17 years old. My employer at that time wa…

How hard would it be to create a backend for PostgreSQL? I'm currently in doubt to move to either Mailpile or your platform on my personal server. However, PostgreSQL would be a bi…

Yeah, that's exactly the way I do it. The invoice data from my hledger file and a HTML template together are generated to a HTML invoice. The HTML invoice together with a CSS file …

I agree. For me the automatic "pulling" of local variables from the context feels like "magic", and I think that's an undesirable property for a programming language. Of course, PE…

I agree. I've a T530 with Quad Core i7 and I prefer it to my previous MacBook Pro. I'm running Debian Jessie. I believe it's also possible to replace the BIOS with CoreBoot, howeve…

Haskell usage by enterprises can be found here: https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_industry

You're right about you're being clear about working there, I'm sorry if I've sounded a bit harsh. Thank you for your analysis BTW. I think it's always useful to provide constructiv…

You've forgotten to include the plug for FastMail. And maybe you should include the fact that you work for FastMail (it's not that you're hiding it, it's in your profile, but it's …

OK, that's very nice.

Thanks for the info, eirst time I hear about this. I'll look it up. I'm honestly a bit ashamed I haven't heard about this before.

Very nice initiative. But for me the biggest problem with adoption of SSL is still that every domain name needs it's unique IPv4 address, and all problems that come with that, not …

Funny that you mention it, I've got static shocks from my MBP 2,1 quite often. Hated it. Switched to a ThinkPad and I'm happy working with a quad core T530 now. I've also tried the…

I expect HN people to get their vocabulary straight and use the word "hacker" only for the people that build things. This story is obviously about a cracker.

This article should've been named: "Yahoo!'s attempt! at! Fear! Uncertainty! and! Doubt! against! Google!"

I've been using GNOME 3 on Debian Jessie for about a year now on my main work machine and I have to say that I'm very happy with it. I switched to it after having used a XMonad des…
