   A very long read, with a lot of noise, that might be refreshing, but I personally did not like. Some facts that I learned by reading this article: "Now, for ARM machines, the requirements are significantly more evil: they state exactly

   The good news is that it is available now with an attractive screen resolution of 2560 x 1440. The bad news is that Lenovo still has not settled their changes of the keyboard layout. Look at the keyboard ( http://www.lenovo.com&#x

    There is another link posted yesterday that got unnoticed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6986333 The articles seem to be from 28th December. How comes that no big media coverage happened? At least in Europe I did not

    I agree with you. It is really interesting to see that in the scripting/programming language domain there is really an ongoing movement whereas on the shell side nothing big happened and POSIX only is just incrementally changing or the

    I am happy to see some effort going into the shell domain. I hope that the authors of shok will look into some other non-POSIX shells that are almost forgotten now, but in my eyes would really deserve to live on: ES [1] and [2] and SCSH [3]

    Thanks for posting the link to the video. Just watched it, total of 1 hour - was really worth it for me. Increased a bit my love for JavaScript.

    Thanks for this comment - it is one of the rare that says "we did not know before". As opposed to a big part of commentators (mostly outside of HN) that say, Snowden did not reveal anything new.

    Fully agree, not to forget the screen ratio of 3:4 which cannot be found any-more! This together with the excellent keyboard and the trackpoint are me is THE criteria for a developper laptop. Just ordered one ;)
