There is a lot of useful things you can do with file storage. You can build plenty of products that synergize with Dropbox. Dropbox is failing to execute on these ideas. I was using Dropbox Carousel, now I use Google Photo. I wanted to use

Gnome 3 is default for most popular distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL, Debian etc) If anything gnome is getting more popular thanks to Ubuntu switching. There fewer people contributing because programming in C is no longer fun or hip. It is not

Kind because there is an obvious path forward. Unkind because there is uncertainty over time. In programming there is no objective measures for code quality, cost of maintenance or even productivity of individuals. I would argue that progra

To some extent Promises provide a similar API. I am not sure if JS needs Option. In many cases try/catch and Promises on boundaries of your code is enough. In real life you would wrap async file operation in try/catch and then cal
