The iOS Gmail app has increased in size to 140MB at the last update. I'm on a 16GB iPhone and I've noticed app sizes slowly increasing over the last two and a half years that I've had my phone. I have to keep an eye on app si

Common convention doesn't make it automatically readable. Every modern language should strive to be user friendly. Gone are the days when we were constrained by hardware limitations which caused us to adopt such practices in the first

That's besides the point. Go and Rust developers still use abbreviations unnecessarily everywhere.

I don't know why you were downvoted for this. I, for one, completely agree.

Then use another word; 'defect' and 'fault' are two acceptable synonyms I managed to look up in less than a minute.

It's 2017 and developers are still abbreviating variable names ('err', 'resp', etc. in the article). It's tragic that readability is still not seen as a priority by so many people.

It's just as suited for gaming as it is for anything else. The problem is everyone expected all games to run buttery smooth on day one with no hiccups. Ryzen specific game engine optimisations are coming according to AMD, as well as a

Naples is based on Ryzen which, if you look at early benchmarks, is beating the competition on all fronts except gaming (suspectedly due to software optimisation and motherboard issues).

Sorry if I'm missing something, but why do you care about supporting other browsers? Isn't VSCode built on Electron which is a self contained server/browser environment?

The gradients in the WinDirStat UI make me physically cringe; I've always used SpaceSniffer instead.

I actually can't name anything better. I was just saying that whilst VS is "the best", the best isn't really that great (without a plugin from Jetbrains)...

Although the last version I used seriously was VS2013, VS on its own is pretty mediocre. With ReSharper though, nothing beats it in my opinion. On the other hand I've been using Eclipse and IntelliJ for the past year. Eclipse is not ev

> Overly terse named types and keywords that don't communicate their purpose, like Vec and Cell. I completely agree with this. This type of naming convention shouldn't even be a remote possibility in this day and age. I find it

Requiring only 3 users to vote for a feature seems quite low to me.

I'm relatively new to investing and started a year ago. $AMD was one of the companies I chose to invest in last December. I'm up 100+% (in GBP) on my AMD investment right now and planning to hold for another year. If Zen and Vega

Sure, having competing standards isn't always a good thing but we're not talking about a standard here. It's a new router firmware distribution and I think having more of them is a good thing as it gives people more choice. T

As an OpenWRT user it's a little worrying to find that many of the developers have left the project. Do you have any more info on why this happened?

Interesting to see an article like this show up on the HN frontpage at a time when Bitcoin supporters are pumping and dumping other crypto-currencies on the major crypto exchanges. Seems like a co-ordinated effort to make a quick buck.

Or don't take your phone. On the other hand they've asked people to login to their email accounts using laptops they've provided.

They [the government] ask people to login to their email accounts and unlock their phones at the border. They really don't even need any technology to steal data. Intimidation works for them already.

If you follow the Palestine-Israel conflict to any degree you'll realise very quickly that BBC only ever reports on anything that's pro-Israel and never the other way.

So charging for an IDE which requires hundreds of thousands of man hours of development and maintenance means they're evil and you won't use their products, open source or otherwise? Got it.

Er, you're eschewing Kotlin despite it's being open source because of your perception that it's controlled by a corporate entity, but in the same post you want it supported in another open source product (VS Code) backed by a
