Of course it's tightly integrated with your Microsoft account! I wonder if you'll even be able to use it without one? It's probably a UWP app too. Yuck! I hate what Windows is turning into.

TortoiseGit is by far the best Git GUI on Windows or anywhere else. The UI is light, fast and it stays out of your way. It's very tightly integrated with the file browser, which is really the only app I want to be using to look at my f

Pffft. OK. So, I take it that you think Microsoft doesn't make high quality software then? I'd love to hear what piece of shit software you think could possibly replace Windows, SQL Server, Exchange and Office in 90% of the world&

But McDonalds cannot just put whatever ingredients they want in their burgers. They have to follow rules. Like not putting Nicotine in them.

Uber didn't start with all of that either. The MVP can be built in a weekend though.

You mean the so-called "Standard" code style? Not many people use it. Why even list it...and first? Airbnb style is the most popular one by far. This bears repeating whenever the so-called "Standard" js style is mentione

OK but I was talking about Node, not JavaScript. You certainly cannot say that JavaScript was NEVER meant to be a full-blown development language though because now it is since it has grown into that overtime. Just because it wasn't or

I don't accept your non-acceptance of assembly as a valid analogy except I'll actually tell you the reason why - you didn't give any reasoning whatsoever. This is a perfectly valid analogy. Visible characters in a strings are

Could you then do the case statements in the reducer like this? switch (action.type) { case IncrementCounterAction.type: return state.update(...); case DeccrementCounterAction.type: return state.update(...);

Right...but it still wasn't built for people who do not know how to program very well. It was written for JavaScript programmers. Nothing else really needs to be said other than that.

Assembly is complicated too. I want it sugarcoated most of the time though. There are very few times when I need to drop down into assembly.

I think most people prefer imperative languages, even after they've learned about functional programming. The simple evidence that I see is that functional programming has been around for a long, long time and it never took off except

GPL is a cancer. That's why people vastly prefer something more like the MIT license these days.

Meh. Linux would never have replaced Windows on desktop computers back then or ever. Anyway, the great majority of people never cared about Microsoft's behavior towards computer makers, Linux or Open Office. That's just politics.

Microsoft created the Office document standard. So "EEE" doesn't really apply here. The person I responded to didn't list one example that was relevant to Office.

I myself, also having been around the Apple world for both eras, see plenty of intersection. It's almost as if many of the people who lived in the 90's are still alive today, including the Apple fans. I personally have many friend

When Microsoft was on top, Apple fans used to say "it's not about marketshare or profit" and then they would proceed to compare Microsoft to McDonald's. So, it's hilarious to me that today the number one statistic q

That's 2 syllables, but just as thoroughly nonsensical of a response. Most young people seem to hate religion though, so saying amen to them would most likely get you tagged as a fanatic or just someone to be avoided.
