Great, just what we need... more updates, downloads, and EULA changes. I am tired of updating everything, and it often leads to rushed/less performant software because - hey we'll fix it soon anyway as long as we meet the deadline

Yes, the language is named after Ada Lovelace - a person credited with writing one of the first computer programs. It is not an acronym.

Cool, but.... no Ada, Pascal, or Delphi... R.I.P. : (

I don't think I like this trend of web browers having so much power over hardware - seems like a huge vulnerability. Also, how much memory do these changes involve? With these chromium updates every single elektron app I use will be af

I am not arguing for them to continue their status quo, I am saying that without competition Apple/Google have no incentive to improve. We would all be better off if Apple lowered prices and we got alternatives. That's a win&#x2

Lets replace "Apple" in your response with AT&T. "You think you know better how to run a successful phone service than a company with the most successful one?". No, I don't exactly, but I have enough common sens

Apple has more than enough money to both protect users and actually help developers - it doesn't need to squeeze them. For example, why isn't it a one-time fee for the initial scan? Why must they take a share of every purchase. Wi

We are at a state where these tech companies have the same value as countries and entire stock indexes. It is obscene, and yet they make their devices more locked down, harder/ILLEGAL! to fix by paying off politicians both to not enfor

Yea and Google doesn't do the same sh*t as Apple? Looking at it this way, it is impossible to avoid abusive and increasingly vague and restrictive store policies.. You think there is a chance in hell Apple and Google are not going to c

But it is impossible to bypass the store for any normal person. Think about it, you are a normal person who wants to continue to use an application and for some reason the dev has been kicked out of the store (this often happens and the dev

Another reason to move from CA... Anyone else sick of seeing careless Tesla drivers swerving around on autopilot?

Hmm, I suppose it's different this time?

Just watch not to inhale the ash. It is probably very toxic ; )

Nice to see projections and figures for these companies but... I wonder when reality will hit these non-earning tech stocks. The P/E ratios are just absurd. Surely the FED can't hold the dam for much longer?

Imagine the system requirements of this versus the original OS ; ) Cool toy though!

It is an Ada compiler with modified syntax. The GNAT Ada compiler is used by defense contractors, air traffic controllers, and NVIDIA for some of their internal research. Its production ready.

As the author of a programming language ; ) I find this article very inspiring. I just want those new to programming to understand the joy of systems and simple graphics programming like in the ol' Turbo Pascal days! http://

You guys think Rust is good - you should check out Ada++ (you'll have to build GCC yourself though) http://www.adapplang.com

Well, being in the security field I would want to know if that light is software or hardware controlled.

Just what we need - more uncaring ECMA programmers putting out substandard, massively slow, non-native code...

The masochist in me wants to continue to see these giant tech corporations get bigger and bigger, so that next time there is a tech bubble we get to watch them squirm under their own weight. Or, perhaps, finally lead to some anti-trust enfo

They did it for control and convenience at the expense of literate computer users. The Windows 10 UI is written in TypeScript, Edge is chrome, Chrome is chrome, Safari is chrome - it makes hiring and training easy when you can just make eve

So why did they force everyone else to use the Javascript version instead of only Linux? Why didn't they just improve the Linux version. I use Skype everyday for work and my quality of life is noticeably different in a bad way :( Plus,

So apple reinvented SDL and made it less portable?

When everything is chromium there is no competitive advantage for any of these chat applications. For example, before, Skype used to be based on the Qt framework and it used less resources and actually had more features - like universal p

It seems like these new Macs might as well be phone with a keyboard in the way they treat their software and "pro" consumers taking away options when screen real-estate exists to empower the mouse user. Wake me up when they use le
