   This is good advice but I also wish companies like gitlab and github would support this for those of us who don't want to manage a site and have most reference work on git*.com anyway.

   I cant comment on the article since I don't have any actual data on the subject (it doesn't seem they do either). But I do have a slightly on-topic question for HN readers using Windows in enterprise: You can run popular Linux dis

   But many of these services are also available on iOS. Would you still consider them part of Android?

    They claim Levandowski's company was just a front to steal Google IP and he never intended to take that company anywhere. Furthermore, they claim this was all orchestrated by Uber to create a legal firewall.

    If you think that, how do you define Android?

    Should also add the f-droid tries to build software that are truly open, i.e. can function without 3rd part closed services. I think many times you can limit the FOSS version to not include functions such as leader boards to avoid such issu

    I think the response krt gave was fair enough: --- I dont get all that API key nonsense, you can search this board for our opinions on API keys. I’ll keep this short: If your app requires an API key and you withhold it (because you entered

    I have not touched one of these myself but friends who did had many positive things to say about it. Nevertheless, if Samsung can't push their Tizen into mainstream I doubt a tiny company from Finland can.

    How is LGPLv3 different from the usual binary only libraries the corporate buy?? Also, there is a paid Qt license if you don't like *GPL.

    I don't think either screenshot looks particularly nice. However, this is mostly due the ugly default background and color scheme (its an ubuntu insider joke and its the first thing people change). I personally care only about function

    I am with unethical_ban on this. Most of the time I am switching between multiple instances of the same app and this drives me crazy. Just because OSX does it (I don't think windows 10 does this) it doesn't mean it is a good idea.

    Thanks for posting this! I find Lua much more pleasant than Lisp. It is also performs significantly better. This could result in a very nice editor if enough people embrace it. Github page for the lazy: https://github.com/ho

    Not sure why this is downvoted. vscode works very very well for doing what it was intended for. I love using it for web and golang projects. If my work required me to edit 3GB files however I would use something else, probably not a generic

    So basically emacs is faster than sublime on tests that are not completely made up? So why am I seeing so much praise for sublime here? Also, mg is starting to grow on me. I think it should replace nano and vi as the default unix editors.
