RedShift is pretty nice, easily configurable and you can just add it to your wm's startup. Pretty stable too, been using it for an year now.

God, I was so fed up with django.contrib.auth.models.User, not being able to ignore Username was probably the most insane part, I always felt email was a better choice than Usernam…

If Android team doesn't see this as a potential feature, they should at the least close the bug, just letting it rot does not align with the goal of having a bug tracker.

Though the article is new to me I don't understand the context of this submission. (Never using web.py and not being fully aware of Django's status in 2005) I see that overall they…

I think it's time to cut this 'version number' debate. Mozilla has been pretty clear about the plan to use such a system. The only problem was from enterprise users which Mozilla h…

Fc*king paywalls. This is such an amazing article, if only they could not have paywalls for research articles. Its as if the licenses will make enough money to fund the research, s…

The docudrama 'The pirates of Silicon Valley' has a small clip with some IBM employees singing some song. I thought it was a one off thing.

The FF dev tools offer a very different experience compared to Chrome. I am curious about the rationale between having different views for web inspector & debugger. I am on Aurora/…

This post specifically is arguable. But Zed's an excellent programmer and teacher. I even heard a first person account that he is a very pleasant guy.

Many people claim Java gives better performance. I would like to know from some experienced programmers how it had been a few years ago. Was Java always this well performing? Seems…

I've been a fairly recent Emacs user, a year and half I suppose. I've found Xah really helpful in some cases when I was starting with Emacs. He tries to start online discussions, w…

When you talk about self-defense, even here in India one is allowed to own a gun if he gets a license. It's not impossible to own a gun here, it is just more regulated. That way no…

Living here in India it's surprising to see the mostly unregulated Gun sale in the US. I believe it's a right the constitution of US grants to its citizens. But I've read that this…

OMFG, are they this desperate to fight off Gmail! People call G+ a desperate attempt, but this is ground-bottom. There's only word to describe this, disaster.

I have a Notebook with Optimus, and watching this made me so happy. Nvidia is being an ass by not supporting Optimus.

> Microsoft has time to generate an "ecosystem", the clunky technology buzzword for what the rest of the world calls "markets". That was arrogant! Ecosystems are more than just mar…

LastPass is an excellent service to manage your passwords. Their Firefox add-on is amazing. If you are not the paranoid-type (i.e. not scared to put your passwords in a 3rd party c…

I once used Quickoffice on a Symbian S60 phone. I should say, it's capabilities were pretty impressive. Especially with the meager resources available on those old so-called smart …

Any word on which Yahoo! services use this key?

In these screenshots, the borders of inactive tabs disappear. This doesn't seem like a good idea. Wouldn't it be hard for users to identify them as tabs?

This is a horrible way of treating 3rd party developers. Apple should keep in mind that one of the major reasons any platform has ever been successful is because of a strong suite …
