The Gnome 3 adversity is ancient history at this point and in my opinion very much a fabricated feud to drive up news article engagement. Publishing an article with a few open bugs or a disagreeing opinion doesn't say much about the qu

On the other hand, when a project tries to please everybody it will undoubtedly regress into a mess of options, toggles, extra buttons, have an atrocious UX and only be usable for the 'in crowd'. The few OSS tools I know to not ha

I suppose Gnome is aimed at the Red Hat enterprise customer base. Those computers are no private systems, they are company hardware. What matters for company hardware is standardization: easy to roll out, easy to train users, which means a

I don't think the average Red Hat customer will base their business decision on HN sentiment. Also, they're probably using software certified for Red Hat Linux and don't have the freedom to pick another OS if they want the su

Hibernate is not that bad. The problem with ORMs in the Java web space is lots of people used them as an 'extreme DRY' solution to link database 'objects' to the front-end which breaks separation of concerns and forces y

There is a browser on that thing. There will be generic 3d viewers that can access content over the internet. I think you can display what you want one way or the other. That they don't want porn to be the centerpiece I can understand.

I didn't go deep into the docs, but the 'movie' on the homepage clearly shows string-based field name mappings so I instantly saw that as a red flag... Nice to know it's implemented better though.

This is only partially type-safe. Having a few SQL keywords abstracted into methods doesn't deliver a lot of value. I've found some value in type-safe mappings between database fields and language fields, at least you can directly

Of course there's variation, but most analog-style synthesizers still use the same basic oscillator waveforms (sawtooth, sine, triangle, square), some ADSR envelope variant and some LFO's.

Browsers are a special category. They are a runtime for remote code which has to be sandboxed correctly and as such crucial for security and the promise of privacy Apple makes. I don't trust Apple absolutely, but they seem to be commit

Better security, less screen tearing, less lag. Getting rid of the old X protocol most desktops don't need and are unnecessarily complex is the cherry on top for me, still scarred from having to write an X client using Xlib more than 2

At least there would have to be a way to check on the official support status for a device to determine if it may be sold, so more transparency.

Disagree. I'd expect long copyright to give more incentive to create something not based on existing work. Did the world really need "Pooh - Blood and honey"?
