rkuska··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
That's a really nice idea! I like that. What helped me from impulse buying is a simple thing; I always when I encounter something I want to buy I store it in the bookmarks (I have a folder in bookmarks called "To buy"). I only buy after a couple of weeks have passed and I decided I really need that thing. When I have a free time I go through my list and delete things that are obsolete. The second thing is, I have a limit of buying 1 thing per week (this includes also things like basic necessities, for example deodorant, that I need for myself). Needless to say I got the inspiration from my wife, she practices this for a few years already. The best thing about this is that it actually makes me feel good.

rkuska··on Google Memory Loss
Speaking of virtual keyboards I always liked (and still use) the one from Blackberry and I never had such problems (you should be able to install Blackberry keyboard on any Android phone). I switched to Google Pixel from iPhone once I found out I can use Blackberry keyboard there.
rkuska··on Yuzu – Nintendo Switch Emulator
I understand that. It's just a bit of coincidence with naming, the area of interest and also boston.

Is that you bunnie? Or someone from Boston who was inspired by bunnie?

rkuska··on Android N developer preview 2 is out
Vulkan was there before? As everyone talks only about stupid emojis. I am confused. Vulkan seemed to me as a great big news.
rkuska··on GNU Guix 0.9.0 released – Functional package manager and distribution
Yet anyway as a python user I would expect to receive python2 version when installing python-sphinx.

In Fedora we have (most recent change in packaging guidelines):

Source rpm: python-foo which generates binary rpms: python2-foo and python3-foo where python2-foo has virtual provides for python-foo, once Python3 will become THE default python by the upstream merits we will change python-foo provides to python3-foo package.

rkuska··on GNU Guix 0.9.0 released – Functional package manager and distribution
Looking at the package list I can see:

python-sphinx and python2-sphinx

From this I conclude that python-sphinx is python3 version of sphinx right? Do you think that's sane (from user experience point of view) assuming that /usr/bin/python should point to python2? https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/

rkuska··on Russia now selling home-grown CPUs with Transmeta-like x86 emulation
It's not arm as ARM architecture, it's just a russian acronym.
rkuska··on Python 2, Python 3, Debian and Porting
We (Fedora) are step ahead.

Currently we are waiting for a last few packages to be ported (anaconda is already running on python3 and ready for Fedora 23 release). Ironically the hardest part isn't porting (we've sent a huge amount of patches to upstream projects) but getting upstreams to accept the python3 as supported interpreter ("what is this python3 thing?" yes, this is a real quote).

I am happy to see a new distros joinning a party, gl!
