VS code runs on electron, so it's really just atom itself, not electron, that must be the bottleneck

This code is simple, works reliably and has done so for a long time with no changes. That seems like the opposite of broken to me

Bay area tech companies are hardly representative of hiring practises (or of anything really) in the economy at large

I've been bitten by things like this so many times, that my first reaction on seeing an inexplicable syntax error is to delete and manually re-type the line.

It's easy from a consumer point of view in the sense that it's readily available and easy to set up. The fact that it is still technically difficult to set up from scratch doesn't matter to consumers (or businesses) when ther

Thank you. If there's anything worse than apathy, it's people who get frustrated with outcomes from politics, but do nothing but express how much they dislike politicians. Decrying the whole process and staying away from it is the

"This thoroughbred airliner could fly from London to Sydney in 17 hours, three minutes and 45 seconds; compared to around 22 hours on a Boeing 747." This sounds wrong - the concorde's cruising speed was more than double that

"We estimate that if we get 2.5 million people playing 20 times a day" This seems ambitious. I must admit, I have little sense of what sort of engagement mobile games get, but this feels like a pretty high bar to expect.

Biilman isn't at Facebook - he is simply another person who likes Haskell. He's the one that doesn't use it any more.

Thanks. That's what I suspected - I'm just surprised that yandex is behaving like a good netizen :)

Is there a technical reason that other crawlers can't just follow the googlebot rules? It's great that bots seem to obey the wishes of site owners, but I'm genuinely surprised that the yandex bot doesn't just follow the

In practice, yes, the computation time required to compute edit distance will depend on the actual data. Similarly, 'sorting' a list that is already sorted can be done in linear time, and near-sorted lists can be sorted much faste

Fair enough. I've only seen the splash page. Surprises me somewhat given that they now have a solid cross-platform shell for 'native' web-based apps.

What's the chances that this is built on Electron?

It's a .io domain, not a .com, so it's more hip

Argh this has been annoying me for so long. You sir are a godsend

I'm surprised there haven't been more lawsuits like this. I expect we'll see more suits like this, plus some about bundling of Chrome, and even about making Google the default search engine in Chrome.

I couldn't agree more with point one on the 'ow zone.' I really can't understand why since ICS, google insists on putting so many important UI elements at the top of the screen, even as screens are getting bigger and big

Plus one of the reasons whatsapp is useful is because you know your contacts have it on their phone, so it's like sending them a text message. If they made a standalone web client that you could use without a phone, it becomes just a

How are you providing 'App Store functionality' if there's no marketplace? Surely the most valuable thing the App Store provides is the distribution channel?

I love it how so many websites with terrible UI proudly proclaim that they are 'beautiful'.

Well it seems that now that they have two strong platforms, google have given up the pretence of pushing the open web. The open web made sense for them in a world dominated by Microsoft, but now that they have the dominant mobile platform

AppCode is a java app as well - it's built on the IntelliJ platform which is java based.

Yeah, I've been using AppCode for C++ on OS X for a while, and switched to CLion a week or so ago. CLion doesn't provide much more on OS X other than native support for CMake projects, but unlike AppCode I can use it on Linux as w
