I have this problem every winter. With my Macbbok it was the worst, it even caused the trackpad to stop functioning once, but it has also happened to some of my other devices as well. It's happened so often to me that I've trained

Besides not being cross platform, how does it pale in comparison? I've been using it for over five years and I can't imagine what it could possibly be missing...

It's never been clear to me why anyone would want to use a completely opaque and undiscoverable interface such as a commandline over a nice GUI for anything. You didn't have to read anything or search around in order to change all

Wheels are pretty standard on cars too. Shouldn't every computer have wheels?

Why not? Did everything that was interesting in 2001 suddenly become uninteresting?

Meh. Apple is a tyrant and they're worse than Microsoft has ever been. Furthermore, Apple sucks for business computing. There's a reason that every business on the planet runs Windows and that the Mac only has a piddly ~7% market

Obama didn't lose the popular vote when he was elected though. That seems to make a huge difference.

I know their lead JavaScript guy is not too humble at all. He's a real asshole on IRC and you'll see exactly what I mean if you have a disagreement with him.

Oh I was actually using the default react-native config which I assume is ES6. So, I was just saying that I was considering switching to TypeScript instead. It surprised me that async didn't seem to work by default in react-native beca

Meh. That stack overflow survey is definitely flawed. My conclusion is based on the fact that most businesses run Windows and as a consultant, I visit many many many enterprise shops. None of them are running Macs or Linux. The people here

I was just trying to get a async/await working in react-native and I kept running up against various errors. Maybe I should wait until Typescript 2.1 is released and just use that.

I think his primary point was that there are more developers on Windows than on any other OS. Did you find any data relevant to that point? I tend to think that it's true. There are more developers on Windows. Way more.

It's obvious to me that Apple won't lock down the Mac OS at this time for the reasons that you and `belorn` mentioned. That doesn't mean that Apple wouldn't jump at the chance if things changed though. They most certainl

Teaching someone to fish only works when they want to learn. For the vast majority of people who just want to consume the media available on the net, this would be a monumental waste of time. It's like me trying to fix my own car just

Honest question: Why? Why are you attempting to direct HN users politically? This is not the place. Keep that bullshit on Twitter, Facebook or somewhere else.

I am not being disingenuous at all. Let's examine the quote a little closer, shall we? It says "further lock customers into our ecosystem". Obviously, "locking customers into their ecosystem" is a primary goal here

Locking you into Apple hardware and software is most certainly their stated goal. You can read it directly from the horse's mouth: `In 2010, a year before his death, Steve Jobs outlined Apple’s strategy in an email to the company’s 100

Sure, but none of my problems with Apple hardware have had anything to do with reliability. The fact that various Macbook Pro models get very hot is a well documented issue. I wonder if we can get some data on how much the Mac OS crashes th

Every Windows laptop I've bought has worked perfectly, with zero defects. Same thing for my wife. And we're both heavy users who use our machines all day for work. We've had every brand of PC and never had any problems. Ever.

Gee, I wish I could run the Mac OS in a VM though. Too bad Apple won't let me do that unless I'm running it on their overpriced, under-powered hardware with the one supported configuration: running the Mac OS as the host OS. (Sorr

Enjoy running those 10 year old GNU Utils that come with your Mac. LOL Meanwhile Windows now has everything Ubuntu does. Thanks Open Source!
