I am also on Windows, Total Commander and Visual Studio Code are my main tools. What is a general experience with Linux shell? I don't have it since I am on Win8, but isn't it still better to use VirtualBox?

But didn't Guido say that everything what could be backported was already backported? > There are a small handful of backwards incompatibilities introduced by Tauthon. How to understand this? Anyway, something like this was expected

Yes, you are right, and it is good that they though about that and tried the alternative. But I still think the issue of LO not able to read MS documents is a real problem. Like for example my sister. Her husband works for Redhat so he enth

I work with Linux professionally and generally like it as a server solution, and also as a developer, but if I would be a city mayor, I would not switch to it from Windows in the first place, unless at least the country government would do

We used Outlook communicator and it wasn't that bad. There were some glitches sometimes but overall it was workable.

No, Linus created a piece of software and called it Linux. It is his creation and he named it.

Out of respect for Linus, it should be called Linux, and not by some made-up name.

This wasn't a particularly good counterexample, since Linux is more advanced and successful than FreeBSD, and same can by said about git.

> Good contributions come anyways (...) That is hard to say. Some contributors only contribute to GPL projects, since they want that derivative works of their work to stay open-sourced. I think they should have a right to require that.

Yes, but then don't talk about "freedom to use"... if something else must be done before that usage.

I work from home and I voluntarily choosed exactly this setup. Windows desktop and IDE tools are more comfortable, but the "real" software runs on Linux VM.

For me, the beauty is when it is apparent on the first sight what the code does. This is just the opposite of beauty (in my eyes :-)).

And terminal has better such tools?

But isn't it still easier to use a proper IDE in the local machine with Linux/Windows/OSX gui and then just git push the code? What advantages does your setup have?

I currently work from home, but before I also worked in an openspace and also in the cubicle with just 4 people. I still can't say openspace is worst... probably depends on one's own preferences. Yes, sometimes it gets noisy and p

Continuous integration is also necessary for bigger projects with many inter-dependent parts. I worked in such a project, we had about 100 developers on it and I just can't imagine how it could be efficiently developed without CI. But

I still use Evernote in Windows. I somehow couldn't bring myself to use those applications who looks like being optimized for tablet, and then converted to desktop app. Why is so much margin around each piece of information? Usage of s

I don't agree with the author much. Ok, Windows Evernote client is a bit bloated, I agree, but I can still immediately enter new note and immediately search notes via a shortcut. And there is a normal windows listview where I can see a

I don't know if I am too old or just think differently than vim enthusiasts, but I somehow couldn't bring myself to like vim. Of course that's might be since I can't find motivation to dig into it further. As a developer

In my career I worked on three C++ projects with about 100 developers, and OOP proven to be useful. If the codebase is so large that not a single person knows it as a whole, OOP allows to express the structure of the code. I surely wouldn&#

I am glad that developers are willing to create truly free software under public-domain license, so one can just use it at will (for example copy just one method from the code) without worrying about licenses or needing to hire a lawyer.

I recently switched from PHPStorm (which I already buy license for) to VS Code, and for me the main problem was Java engine on Windows which PHPStorm runs on. I just didn't have a luck to make it work smooth enough, while my computer i

Isn't just better to enable autosave? (VS Code has that as well). I learned its usefulness from PHPStorm, where it is switched on by default. So I just not explicitly save anymore, it is done automatically and immediately.

It seems to me that Spiegel looks at it from a ridiculous premise, that Internet somehow should provide a working business model for them. I just can't imagine how something like ABP could be illegal... I made a http request to get a p
