   Now compare this with modern mobile devices which run slowly and can do a fraction of what PCs were able to do 15 years ago having 10x lower clock rates.

   That's the heritage of Soviet Union, where people of labor were the cornerstone of ideology. Consequently every profession got the day to celebrate. I haven't seen it in any other country.

   I hope he stays here in Russia. Yes, we as a country are far from the ideals he strives to protect, but it will be difficult to find such country elsewhere in the world. But I'm sure he will find Moscow a cool place to live at least fo

   I worked for a company developing cross-platform Qt applications(we deployed for Linux and Windows though) and all our clients were pretty happy, so I would refrain from the claim "That's never worked out well for anyone, ever, in

   You can't really compare websites with Qt apps. QML was made from the ground up to allow for building fluid UIs. It is rendered using OpenGL. HTML was never meant to be used for app development, hence the poor experience. Qt and QML is

   America is actually on the way to electric cars, bypassing the unnecessary stage of diesels, hybrids and whatnot. The diesel might not even happen, provided that Tesla does well.

   Well they have a file system(git), now they add ways to interact with data, up until they create a fullblown operating system. Something that Google is already onto with ChromeOS.

    That is just one example, others are Berezovsky, Chichvarkin, Akhmed Zakayev to name the few. You should know who Berezovsky is, Chichvarkin created a retail chain for mobile electronics who had his business expropriated by some high rankin

    I wouldn't worry too much about it, it is all politics and all selective. A lot of Russians fled to the UK to elude justice in Russia. Whether they are political refugees or indeed committed crimes back home is another matter, but Lond

    Something that people already mentioned, but still. There is great Visual Studio for Windows and for cross-platform development there is Qt Creator. The latter also comes with a full-fledged development framework that allows you do GUI, thr

    I tried to use Cinnamon and it was a very poor experience. It is very immature, simple things that are the norm on existing desktop environments are not there. I can't say I use Unity too much, I'm more of a KDE user, but Unity is a lot mor

    It sure may be, but JavaScript can't be "extremely" more portable than, say, C++, since all JavaScript engines with majority market share to date are implemented in C++. Also its portability is not an inherent property of JS, it is because

    And at which point in history 10x speed down has become acceptable? In certain industries people are trying to squeeze the last bit of performance out of their code, fine tuning cache usage, SSE and whatnot. I just don't see it as an innova

    Qt's "Write once, deploy everywhere" has been able for many years on the desktop, until mobile revolution came with incompatible interfaces and now we have to start again. Good news they are working on a solution to this challenging problem
