The core of it did. Do you think it will ever reach parity with the Windows version though? Microsoft is acutely targeting devs who build cloud apps for the public or for very large organizations with the Linux version of SQL Server. Devs l

Your anecodote is not good because it doesn't jive with a very high volume of other anecdotes that can be seen on the Internet. So maybe take a look around? Anyway, for my own anecdote - I have a five year old Dell XPS L502X that has a

Each Electron/NW.js app will be packaged with a whole huge runtime. It's not all bad - there's more freedom with these.

I would have used an Android/iOS style dictation key on my Windows tablet virtual keyboard. That's the one thing I wanted from Windows 10. But no. They gave me this useless Cortana bullshit that can only search with Bing.

Not this. "The government" is just groups of people. Some groups, such as the NSA, certainly do have the ability to be close to omniscient (or as much as it matters here). Their motto is "Total Information Awareness" for

I don't care about these theories because there's nothing much I can do about them. However, I see plenty of so-called "skeptics" that don't question anything and they're always ready to just swallow the offici

Incorrect. The minimum requirement is a Mac Pro 2010 or higher. I recommended buying a Mac Pro 2012. - http://osxdaily.com/2016/06/14/macos-sierra-compatibility-li... - http://www.macworld.co.uk&#x

Don't do it. Buy a refurb 2012 Mac Pro from OWC/MacOfAllTrades/wherever and upgrade the ram and SSD yourself.

It's ridiculous to think that every single person will interpret your rules the same exact way. That is why it's rude to just close issues without comment. Furthermore, since the person closing the issue is already quite obviously

Because as soon as I started using uBlock "Origin", I started seeing more ads and more sites that didn't work at all where they previously worked with ABP. Because the uBlock "Origin" UI sucks compared to ABP. Becau

I think American Indians instead of Mexicans would have worked better in your example since the Jews basically kick the Palestinians out of the area in order to take it over.

Yes. As a developer who really likes Windows - I don't touch UWP apps or anything that comes from the Windows Store unless I am forced to. I do not support Apple-style lock-down on Windows. As a matter of fact, I am fully prepared to l

OK, but if I buy a Pro level PC laptop today I'll be able to use it for the next 5 or 6 years. That's 2 or 3 years more than the Macbook Pro that I would have undoubtedly paid more for.

No, you're certainly not the only one. Personally, unless I absolutely need some package or utility, I avoid SourceForge like the plague. In the recent past I even blocked their domain on my network so I did't download things from

I got an iPad Mini 4 this week to see if it could replace my Dell Venue 8 Pro as my daily web-browsing tablet. Turns out it can't. Browsing in iOS is a 2nd rate experience no matter which browser you use. Apps are great in iOS but I ju

Absolutely. And iOS has demonstrated that on an even broader scale. If there is one thing I can't stand about Apple systems, it's the utter lack of options to let me work the way that I want. With iOS it starts with the very first

I don't see the problem unless you think Apple gets bashed more than Microsoft or Google here. Do you think Apple gets more than Microsoft on HN? Please read any thread with Microsoft or one of their products in the title and you'

by WayneBro 10y ago
Complaining about a poke at Apple is irrelevant. That's what derailed the thing, not the original comment. "Someone got offended" is the problem here. Not the alleged offender.

Thank you. I can totally see why that kind of behavior should be prohibited.

Visual Studio 2015 is the only real player. Have you tried it? I've compared it to every other IDE and nothing comes close. Of course, you need to add quite a few extensions (addons) to make it really nice but other than that, it'

Sure. Great. It's not an open platform though and you cannot run your own software on it if you're a business. So that really sucks for a lot of businesses. Nothing you've said has countered that. I'm really happy that y

You moved the goal posts. But yes, it could still absolutely be safe. Why do you think otherwise? Does Apple hold a patent on publishing malware-free apps? No. They do not.

My 8 inch Windows tablet which is not much larger than many phablets and runs a full desktop OS works better and gives me way more control. Tell me, what category of tasks could it not handle?
