This video seems to only focus on the negative areas of OOP. There are of course some wide benefits. I think the truth is in the middle somewhere. As always, pick the right tool for the job.

Yes, but that's the point of Will Bond joining. He will be a developer actively dedicated to new releases.

Don't discount the benefit of a few men, trying to build a business. Doing dedicated work for Open Source is amazing, and very honourable. However, as the ATOM team grows, so does the overhead, the documentation requirements, and group

OSX fan here: Everyone is completely misunderstanding our recent criticisms of Apple software. We don't hate Apple software! We have seen a steady decline over the last few years, and so we are expressing our concerns. This does not tr

Does anyone know how you get this data from Netflix? I thought Netflix shut down their API? I'm particularly interested in what movies are expiring shortly, so I know what to watch first!

I wish they would find a better way to sort their themes. Alphabetical is not helping.

I agree. I can't believe who little suppliers their are for this service. I use FastMail and love it, but I would love to see a lot more competition in this space.

I would love FastMail to add tags or labels. That is the one primary feature making me still forward my FastMail email to Gmail. I love having email in my inbox already labeled (or tagged) so I can have context. For example, one of the comp

I would love to see them lower the threshold for down-voting. I've only got 200+ karma, and it's hard for me to get more. I can't be on here all day commenting, and being the first to submit articles. If I have something impo

While I would love this to be the case, I think Apple is going to jump on the 4k bandwagon. All evidence suggest that Apple is gearing up for 4K, not desktop retina. (look at wallpaper sizing, and their 4k advertising push on the MacPro).

I'm glad to see the bump up to 1080p. I know some people don't care of think it matters, but I would just love this to be standard. It would make things a lot easier on Developers to have only a few different resolutions to worry

It's not JUST about the strike zone being enforced so heavily. The number of pitchers a batter sees per game is higher than it has ever been. Many teams are opting for a shorter bench and deeper bullpen. Toronto this year carried an 8-

I love this stylesheet, and would love to see HN implement it natively. I've installed it on Chrome using Stylish, but I am having a problem. Every page I load on HN flashed the old design before showing the new look. Is there anyway t

I don't understand why you have been down-voted so much for this comment. I too feel the pain (living in Canada) and I love my Kindle. I wish Amazon showed more support internationally, or at least to the neighbours in the north.

The beauty of open source is that it's all about choice. If you don't like this move, you can choose to use another. Some people may like this and choose to continue using it. In the end, their users choices will determinate where

CLARIFICATION: I don't get a lot of Facebook messages. Maybe one a week. When I'm using the Facebook app, I take the time to respond to a message if I have one that is unanswered. If it wasn't in the app, I wouldn't swit

I only answer my Facebook messages BECAUSE I can answer them on my mobile app. I won't install another app just for Facebook messaging, so I guess those messages will never get answered.

So a not yet profitable site is going to start giving away revenue. Very happy I'm not an investor in that company.
