Spaniard here, from Madrid. A lot of fruit and veggies are sold here in prepackaged format (say, 5-6 apples or tomatoes) weighing below 1,5 kgs, specially online shops. I would not say it is the majority but it's absolutely usual. Mo

And rock solid. I worked within a telco platform that combined it with CORBA and PThreads and damn it was contrived but work it did.

And what do they observe? Is some kind of astronomical event?

Ahhhh the Rogue Wave standard libraries! CORBA! The ACE Reactor Library! We had all that in 1998, kiddos.

If that crap-kernel passed QA tests on its day, what would be the excuse for updating it? The use case does not change, then the crap-kernel is valid. Example: my Korg Kronos is a synthesizer workstation that runs an outdated Linux kernel

For me this is a matter of timeblocking my personal life too. If I don't have anything else, I basically procrastinate by browsing the Internet (Reddit! HN! All shiny new stuff!) So every quarter I have my objectives (I shudder to wr

This is truly a mistake. I did adopt the pose of the bastard boss in a tongue-in-cheek fashion (for example breaking a printed vacation request) and never got nothing but a good laugh in response. But this is toxic behaviour an in a multic

Of course social media hit blogs hard on its day. I miss the times when a blogger would publish how bad her morning went, pictures of his new dog, or how great was the latest TV launch. This is basically all gone to social media. But I als

I remember how I aspired to get a ZX81 and then my dad brought the Vic20 home (color! 5+8kb!) so I became a Commodore fanboy but hey, Sir Clive is my hero too.

There are a lot of true facts thrown in the article, but it does not explore the reason why this is. I feel the era of great thinkers who single handledly performed disruptive breakthroughs in their field, the Galileos and Newtons, was ov

Totally agree with both of you. The feature set is very deep and the team keeps cranking out features at speed. There is also certain "cognitive behavioral" flavor on a lot of the capabilities, which I like. But the user interfac

It's somewhat unfortunate that the most active user group is in Facebook, there is also a Reddit sub -not also the greatest forum but wins over FB Groups.

I dont think parent was refering to web as in "web sites you can open in Safari", but apps built with web technologies, as in Ionic or similar.

While I tend to agree that Electron is going to be more and more relevant, I'd like to counter-argument that native apps these days are accompanied by powerful vendor services. For example, if you target the Apple ecosystem you get C

Billing is very tricky from the metering to the final PDF bill which includes taxes, promotions and whatnot. So this is hard if you want to put limits on a certain dollar amount. You could also put hard stops on resource usage (say, no m

Also, rolling your own sync is basically a must on multiplatform, I'd say.

> CloudKit is definitely satisfactory, but it's limited to Apple devices. That was my point, exactly. If you target only specific platform users, easier development (ie, using Electron and web technologies) does not necessarily win

This hits the nail. Cross-platform as a cheaper option only comes true if the multi-platform feature delivers real value to the users --which is obviosly the wager that Agile Bits is doing. Otherwise someone else is bound to deliver a s

When did this happen? I think I've read somewhere that process node size stopped being a meaningful indicator even decades ago.

it's not a waste of time only if you are interested to know how to do these things.

Well the "collaboration suite" features are now slowly being phased out or at least dont receive that much attention. Their new calendar integration and task management features are small steps but I think they are intriguing at

This is a great question. My point of view is if you can't deliver new features you become the incumbent and new player will replicate those features with lower cost or better execution. Also, the ball is moving: newer apps are heavy
