VCS existed before Torvalds. They must have a reason for not releasing a Linux version. I mean it's free what the heck do you want ? How can you even complain ? OSS really spoilt people.

I'll add to the Electron hating bandwagon. Not every native app is good and often the UI and design feels crappy. I mean this was the case for decades. But I will still prefer crappy looking performant app over nice looking sluggish el

I guess the problem with rich chinese is that even tech people turn into a lower class when they compare. That and they buy every building they can contributing to the housing crisis.

I prefer Go's lacking to Rust's syntax and long compile times. But then again I do not write things like Servo. I also like Nim and Crystal and while Crystal's compile times are not ideal I can forgive this as i like the synt

Emacs with vlf can open very large files by splitting them in chunks. Quiet useful.

I was the same. I lived only UNIX/Linux and knew where things were. In retrospect I can't even look into the mirror now on how wrong I was. Don't take me wrong I am not saying that Windows / MS stack is better. It's

They are but they are trying to adapt. .NET core is an extremely aggressive way for them to attract the new generation. It's funny because the new generations still use Windows to develop on and Linux to deploy to and no one is denying

It is actually sad to see that you had to write this. Funny how the most used / popular technology and a mismanagement from a single company can crush other competing tech. It is frightening how much of what was invested in Solaris is

I totally agree with this. Not many people realize this and will continue to blabber about big bad usa but nukes are not the only thing keeping everyone in check. It is fat uncle Sam doing the job. I fear the day of more assertive China or

I guess he meant wechat/qq,kakao and line that are dominant in other countries. Whatsapp is impressive though.

Oh you seriously believe linux is not where it is due to huge sums from intel,samsung,red hat and countless of others ? Please...

You need billions and billions of dollars to keep such project alive. And even then if you cant attract the right amount of interest you are doomed. It is bloody expensive to keep these people employed and i guess oracle is not competent en

Systemd is / was inspired by solaris smf to some extent. It is not that bad but the execution was rather poor.

Humans unlike machines are never 100% professional. You can show kindness and sympathy and at the same time it can get you killed.

He was "racist". Yes he should not have ever made such a comment but god i guess he just used plain old sarcasm to calm down the driver.

Yeah sure i can agree with that. What I was saying is that there is not any reason for me to buy a product from a german brand unless they are really less expensive, giving me a better deal (more features / warranty). The only problem

I do not believe they have an edge. They might be sticking to the few features = less moving parts = smaller chance to break but the materials are same cheap plastics and weak metals.

Define better. Hyundai makes everything from toilets to aegis equipped war ships. If i would have the money i would buy tesla. If i would have to choose i would buy hyundai genesis or sonata. If someone was offering free hyundai or bmw i wo

Legendary German engineering is a myth especially in this day and age . Sure they have an edge on few things as they were the first / had the most experience and the budget to improve on but just look at how they are loosing against th

These things cannot really be compared. As i said some people prefer the social benefits to be the norm some other (myself included) prefer the money. A lot of middle income positions in many places in europe are treated like a mere brickla

Which again does not contradict what i wrote does it ? You may prefer it to be the norm but it cannot be considered a universally the best approach. I mean look ... some people actually prefer the steretypical american way. And then there a

I am still learning to like Javascrip and its ecosystem. I do not think I would be able to invest time in transpile-to-js language (looking at you TypeScript). I really hate the evolving ecosystem, hyped libs / frameworks and tons spag

I found this to be pretty much a very biased subjective analogy. I am a european so I hope my "anti-european-rant" will be better accepted but lets see... Europeans often have this illusion of a working social democracy compared t

My personal opinion is that what applies to big companies offering "free" products applies in tech as well.I call it the good enough concept. The product is not exceptional but it is good enough when you consider all things involv

Yup I can relate. I would change the "high-quality updates" to "lots of integration taken care by the community". I really really do not want to spend time to figure out on my own how to integrate this or do that (unless
