I think at some point the browser will collapse back into the desktop shell as a multipurpose document viewer. Window managers will need to catch up first, though.

Phoenix is heavily inspired by Rails, and I also think some of the core contributors are the same. No reason people unfamiliar with Rails can't use/learn it, but if they are previously familiar with Rails it can be easier.

I would echo other comments suggesting you start by learning Rails, but if you really want to learn Elixir/Phoenix first I would probably start by playing with Elixir, since Phoenix obscures a lot of things (similar to Ruby/Rails)

The ‘propaganda machine’ is supporting Macron because the alternative (Le Pen) is terrifying.

I'm afraid that's wishful thinking - there is no opposition to the Conservatives right now other than the SNP. Short of a miracle, May's majority will increase.

This is my worry. The technical challenge of maintaining a usable mobile OS seems too high for companies like Canonical and Mozilla to have a chance, since getting hardware produced, marketed and into people's hands is a gargantuan tas

It does always seem so divisive. I’m in the ‘enjoyed Galaxy but I think I actually prefer Sunshine’ camp. The new Mario looks really great, too, though.

This looks perfect for something I'm working on, thanks! Have been using d3 so far but have been hitting up against performance issues.

This is a good point. I think once developers learn Git (or as much as they need to use), then they forget how esoteric the the cli tool is. I think a lot of devs have the attitude that a tool being more difficult to use makes it a powerful

Pretty much my exact experience with it. I think I just haven't found many of the articles I have read very interesting, and I find the site a little hard to navigate.

Going purely off memory here, but I think the discussion on the mailing list went something like: Why do we include multiple text editors by default? Good point let’s just pick one for the base install. Obvious choice is Vi not Ed because m

I think the biggest factor here is the HN front page is the same for everyone, Reddit’s often depends on what subreddit’s you subscribe to (AFAIK). + Most of my time on Reddit is specific (small-ish) subreddits, vs. HN where you can basical

I switched from Vim to Spacemacs (sorry...). I am considering setting up a vanilla emacs w/ Evil soon but I feel like I need to set aside a day or so to do it. Spacemacs does do a lot for you, and the layers system is not without its b

IMO Mozilla would be wise to spend time on improving Firefox’s memory footprint and responsiveness. As it is it’s slower and more cumbersome than Chrome (at least on Linux). Some of these features are nice, sure, but perhaps they should be

This argument always seems like a straw man to me. 'Art' is a broad and loosely (looser and looser) defined term, there is no reason video games can or can't be a part of that for you. Many people seem to constantly yearn to

I'm not sure Dropbox really knows what to market themselves/what their usecase is at this point. I guess they don't want to risk being seen as a service for free static web hosting. I think you can still use Google Drive for
