QNX is why I'm bullish long term on Blackberry. They appear to be making a successful pivot, and they've got something like 90% of electric vehicle makers putting QNX in their cars.

Contrarily I love this post. The first point I don't care about because I avoid C whenever possible but I agree with all the rest. Electron is awful. So are phones. These things don't have to be so.

As it always was, the best way to use IRC is sadly to sign up for a third party shell account and run a bnc or an irssi+tmux session or similar. It's little wonder to me that IRC's lunch got eaten; the UX on mobile is just awful.
