It sucks that the success of your business sounds dependent on the policies of the company in charge of the app store. Other than contacting Apple what can you do to combat this? That being said, I agree with most of the people here; live p

This is pretty subjective obviously. I think the GitLab interface is pretty good, especially compared to GitHubs. I can't speak for BitBucket since I've only used it once, but I do remember having a hard time finding my way aroun

You're running Windows running an X server running your Linux WM to run your linux apps. It's not a hack per se, but there's definitely more to the equation, and thus a lot more room for error.

Since it's been an hour and there hasn't been much response, I'll give my two cents. I don't work for a startup. However, I do work in a small team of 3 developers, and have recently been faced with the decision of choo

1. Ease of use I can give you. That being said, Linux for me is way easier to use than OS X or Windows so I think that's relative. 2. I'm sorry but I really can't agree with you at all about stability. Linux is incredibly sta

I'm on my XPS 13 right now, on Arch Linux using xf86-libinput, thumb rested on the bottom left of the trackpad ready to click. Moving my finger on the trackpad towards the top moves the cursor. Using two fingers (with my thumb rested

The main difference in hardware between the DE and the non-DE is the wireless card, which isn't impossible to get working but definitely a pain in the ass. I can only imagine with the touch screen and tablet-mode combined it would be

Elaborate. What do you think you'll miss switching from OS X to Linux?

I'm not sure that they're actually trying to go for Slacks user base, I think they're targeting the same people they targeted for Lync and Skype for Business.

This is fairly old but if you're curious I have since gotten a new phone and have not connected to their wifi; it was likely their contacts that were uploaded to Facebook which included my number.

That might explain a pretty creepy thing Facebook did the other day to me. I just created a new Facebook account after maybe 4 years of radio silence. Two years ago, I had a job doing IT contracting; often I would go to businesses and repa

I don't think it's necessarily about using JavaScript as much as it is about using Chromium / Electron to easily create a consistent cross-platform experience.

I believe this is about the Unity Desktop Environment, not the Unity Game Engine.

I really like Go. It's a good language.

That's weird. Older hardware is usually what works best on Linux. The only hardware-related issues I've ever had have been trying to run a brand new graphics card or on the latest macbook.

Don't they already do that with the Time Machine?

My girlfriend recently bought one for her daily driver. We decided to go with Arch Linux to gain access to packages as they release, rather than wait for the next iteration of Ubuntu or Fedora to get updates. Here are my pros and cons: Pro

I didn't mean to imply that a NAT was a firewall. Most home routers, which are for NAT (mostly) come with a firewall. Albeit a basic one, it still comes with one.

How are these devices being accessed despite most houses having a router with a firewall? I thought IPv4, being so limited in possible IPs, pretty much forced everyone to use a router for NAT? So would mean unless these people who have the

You're absolutely right. I 100% agree, and there's a single person at fault whom victims pursue. Who faces the blame whenever a driverless vehicle is forced to make a decision to strike a pedestrian or hit a wall rather than a h

This is why I think vehicle autonomy will never happen the way we want it to. Collectively, the death toll of driving will be significantly reduced, but it will only take a few people being killed by driverless vehicles for people to make a

I disagree that they are a "great experience" for users. Here's my experience with PPAs: 1. Is it already in the Ubuntu / Debian repositories? Nope. 2. Search google for "Ubuntu <package name>". 3. Fi

It's just popular to hate JavaScript and npm right now. It's not perfect, but it's not bad either.

Intuitiveness is honestly a relative problem. I've been using vi for a long time. What's intuitive to me? Moving my cursor with hjkl is intuitive to me. Using `C-w h` to move my cursor to NERDTree, then searching for my file w

taigia is actually _impossible_ to set up. I haven't been able to do it on a fresh 14.04 Ubuntu instance from DO after trying at least once per month. Edit: Let me rephrase. I've tried at least once a month to install taigia fo

I don't think I'm the only one here who, if this were open source, would gladly spend time improving features or creating connectors / middleware for different apps like GitLab.

Right? That's something about Windows that I hate; having to restart for an update. Microsoft, with it's endless supply of money, is somehow completely incapable of live OS updates? Hell, Linux has live updates; I don't even

I agree, classes are silly in JavaScript. It just masks the prototype and creates ambiguity; using the prototype effectively is part of being a good JavaScript developer. I understand the hate and everything but honestly I think it present
