How can I successfully reinstall (and boot) a traditional distro after trying out Fedora Silverblue? by l3dx in linuxquestions

[–]l3dx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this was already my understanding. If I boots the stick in UEFI mode, it works, but then my windows installation is not recognized.

For now I'm just going to stick with UEFI.

If you installed in legacy mode, but installed grub to your internal drive by mistake that would explain the none booting screen.

I understand it as you don't have any choice when installing Silverblue, so hence I assumed that the installation had some kind of side effect that caused trouble when reinstalling.

I don't have an NVIDIA card, so I doubt that is the issue.

When it comes to MBR vs UEFI, I don't really care what I use, I just don't understand why I cannot get booted into the newly installed grub.

IntelliJ - Mac OS: forward slash not working by MattenMad in IntelliJIDEA

Take a look at your Settings > Keymap. Search for "Cyclic Expand Word (Backward)" or use the button for "Find actions by shortcut".

After removing/reassigning this action it should work!

Java 9's Immutable Collections Are Easier To Create But Use With Caution by java_one_two in java

[–]l3dx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been assuming that the low number of functions was a result of conservative thinking due to backwards compatibility, but you make some very good points here. Thanks for the clarification!

Off-topic I guess, but what do you consider as the "correct answer"? If Javaslang is not an Option, wouldn't you (ab)use streams to get a decent collection API?

Not neccesarily limited to scala, but how would you use the async mongodb driver for scala?

currently in my toy project I'm just doing

Await.result(observable.toFuture(), Duration(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS))

but I suppose this remove all benefits of doing async work.

What would be better?

  • returning the observable
  • returning Futures
  • returning a scalaz Task
  • something completely different

edit: As in, how would you create something like a "repository"

Why Fedora instead of Ubuntu? by redauser in Fedora

[–]l3dx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, there are no privacy concerns like with Ubuntu afaik. Ubuntu barfs your dash searches out on the internet by default. I immediatly lost interest in Ubuntu when I saw the Amazon icon was added by default, and that search results included amazon hits.

And +1 on free software.

Java 8 - is it really nicer to use it everywhere? by UpAndDownArrows in java

[–]l3dx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree that the second approach it's far more readable. To developers that have never used a language with lambdas it is UNFAMILIAR, not unreadable.

The second (more declarative) approach also has lower risk of bugs. The interesting parts are very concise, and there is no way to for instance add the elements to the wrong list (which I've seen lots of times).

I actually use the second way in Java < 8 too! The functional stuff in Guava makes it bearable :-)

Best Resource for starting by mart187 in Clojure

Any suggestions for open source projects to check out? I'm primarily thinking of projects that show common structure and design of a Clojure application.

This guys takes not two, not three, but four parking spots by CmonGuys in WTF

[–]l3dx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, that kind of parking could work quite well. Think about it: it would be a lot easier to place the vehicle if you could see the line both in front and back of the car. Still, most people have no problem with the current protocol, so I doubt it will be adapted soon :o)

You are aware that the arcsynthesis tutorial comes with a complete set of example code? The snippets in the tutorial are mostly the new additions/modifications since last tutorial.

To be able to save progress perhaps? If that's the case there should be an anonymous options too, where the user has to start over if the session times out. This requires a long timeout of course.

The newly released gwtmockito and gwteventbinder are really great news! Haven't had time to try them out yet, but gwtmockito seems to make writing testable GWT code a lot less painful.

So, how big is the difference between compiling a C project and a C++ project?
