    This just makes me miss SoftIce. Just hit ctrl+d and be immediately dropped into exactly what your machine is doing at any time. Of course, just doing this would be illegal on most…

    (assuming the bug here is a description being assigned to a title) getDescription simply needs to return a Description object while getTitle returns a Title object. Duh. Only in th…

    Yeah, they talked about numbers of bugs fixed, but those surely seem to have impacted the user experience. My big worry is that if I were to consider deploying to such a service, t…

    If those major distros weren't switching though, you wouldn't have to, which is what my point was. The only reason you're adopting it is not for a practical benefit, just because t…

    I've switched everything I write to use runit because runit doesn't require any particular init system, you can easily integrate it with sysvinit, freebsd's RC, ubuntu's upstart, s…

    The thing is though - their code is already written. Systemd is entirely unnecessary for 99% of people, probably everything except some of it's LXC features has clear and popular a…

    I looked at it but both price and lack of root and bootloader unlocking are extremely prohibitive for me. The keyboard is really its only appealing feature. I can get a device like…

    Are there any pickins for android phones with keyboards with even remotely modern hardware (I'd settle for anything with a 1080p screen probably)? Seems extremely limited, I was un…

    Yeah, the XBMC Youtube addon used to do subscriptions and the like, it was pretty nice, but I think it broke and the main developer abandoned it. Youtube-dl does support channels a…

    Try NewPipe, it's an open source YouTube downloader and background player for Android: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.schabi.newpi...

    Isn't the whole point of Musk opening Tesla's IP to be able to sell more batteries? It's not charity, it's a business strategy.

    You might also consider Cesium, which is WebGL based and gets you a globe view too.

    Not sure, but my guess would be that the yellow was a hardcoded constant in the code in a few places and modifying it involved opening up system files in a hex editor and doing som…

    I've been thinking about how something like this could be done in a completely distributed way, I think I've even seen some research implementation of it. In any case, it'd be inte…
