Is space really an issue in most non-mobile user devices nowadays? Consider the tradeoffs: a bit of space vs. packaging nightmare which results in old, buggy and insecure packages. This was posted a few days back on hn: https://s

Well, it's the system that is composed of packages. The app images would be distributed through an app center. Most users wouldn't have to touch the system packages in their daily use case.

What I'm suggesting is a decoupling between system package managers and application image managers (which should run across distributions/versions). Edit: thinking about it, this should also be the perfect opportunity for a cross-

What this could and should lead to is this: a separation between system packages and user applications, prefferably with two different managers. What we have now are mostly system package managers, you want them to be stable, secure, having

Yes. But it's still better, since your distribution package manager can just pull directly from upstream rather than rebuilding by themselves. Edit: Come to think of it, considering how many applications out there haven't had any

It's not only that the attitudes have changed. What percentage of the people working there in 1998 are still working there?

I haven't really had problems with OS X. There's the occasional odd package under Linux which remains installed and you need to manually remove it, but nothing unfixable. But I guess that depends more on the underlying OS structur

I'll grab an ISO at some point and do it... I didn't have any point of comparison, so I didn't know how it should be behaving.

The Skype app crashes so frequently. When it finally decides to work, the microphone doesn't work. If you feel really really brave, you can try putting the app to background, except that might cause your video feed to not work anymore.

Windows 8 came preinstalled with the computer and then just updated to Windows 10 from it. If the main upgrade method is broken, I'm not sure what to believe anymore...

Why? Management changes, engineers change, everything changes. Saying "No" just because it's Microsoft is incredibly short-sighted. And even if it were so: the product as it is today was mostly developed while it wasn't

I don't like the fact that it uses an external API. I don't like a third party (other than my mail host) to have access to my email password and messages.

Why is WebRTC bloat? A lot of people us it for video calls nowadays. Pocket is a neat solution for avoiding having lots of tabs eating your memory, which in turn ends up causing page swapping and messing with your experience. "pdf are

Windows 10 is a pretty good OS but has serious issues with drivers (it tries to be clever and breaks stuff). And the startup is sooooo slow and the UI crashes twice before I ever get the chance to give it input. The Mail, Calendar and OneNo

Sorry, but I'd be surprised if Google or Siri don't answer your question to "I need the number to the printing company on the east side", it's a pretty trivial thing to lookup. Also, Google and Siri bring you cost e

True, PG's writings are not the bible just as his agreement with this business idea doesn't mean it's a good idea. I used my own judgement and concluded that this is a worthless idea, as competition is high and differentiatio

It's idiotic. You're not bringing in any major differentiation. Your idea will be implemented by your competitors in less than a week and you will have no competitive advantage and way less clients. You've been through YC? Ho

S and X Thinkpad lines have considerably improved screens nowadays. Nowhere near Retina, but they get the job done. Also, most of the parts inside are field serviceable, you don't really need more than a screwdriver to fix it.
