The source is refreshingly sparse and tidy which was kind of jolting for a second.

Now you know how some of us who rarely have issues with Windows feel :)

We don't know if it would be a popular move in affected regions. Take GM crops for example. There is an awful lot of suspicion around the motives of the organisations/corps pushing this stuff. Not all of it unwarranted.

The devil here is in the details. Solar energy (and you left out, crucially, storage) still isn't feasible for the worlds poor yet, though it is the obvious solution to the problem. My biggest issue with advancements in solar power + s

The thing that makes me chuckle gleefully when Apple does things like this is that I know that the people that make up Google as a company are massive fans of Apple products. Ouch.

I work in corporate and desktop applications are very clearly being phased out in favor of the web. I see this trend accelerating so for once it seems Microsoft has read the tea leaves correctly.

Self driving cars probably (and impossibly) need their own roadways like cable cars or trains.

It was a fantastic episode. Someone there made the very sobering observation that the solution to the problem was to price water the way we price oil. That way we would redouble our efforts not to waste it. But then that only really ends up

Evolutionarily speaking, what would be wrong with peeing in your sleep?

This is an Apple product that literally sells itself

HN heavily skews MacOS though.

And by new they really mean Linux, right?

Think that would depend on how easy they are to setup.

This reads like a classic slashdot post to be honest. Every large enterprise I've worked at in the last say 10 years, has software deployed across multiple dev stacks, with .Net being just one. This very moment consulting at a large in

It's becoming so complicated that I'm struggling to come up with ideas for how to get my 13 year old nephew interested in web development. When he was born I used to dream of having him look at a button on a web page and him askin

Apple are excellent at figuring out what "the next big thing" is. The fact that none of us know what that could possibly be is kind of exciting to be honest.

If it is a WPF app on Windows and it's described as performant, then WPF as come a hell of a long way.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I have this in my home and never figured out why the flush button was split in two!

Heh, just last week there was a running joke on Twitter about how Facebook and Whatsapp users were busy scrambling to learn how to use Twitter due to the CDN outage over there.

There's a culture on twitter now, of "exposing" viral tweets (usually jokes) for having been stolen from less prominent people on the platform. I think it's great despite the obvious pettiness attached to the practice.

So, about the same as the Steve Jobs Apple then?

It's true but what we need here is cheap and reliable power first.

He's still a Microsoft employee is he not? Wonder if he couldn't just bring it in-house?

I'm no big fan of Apple, but I must say I get a perverse pleasure out of moves like this because you'd probably find that 90% of Facebook employees swear by and love Apple products.

I suppose I haven't worked in environments scary enough that Docker was a necessity. As a result I find it difficult understand the hype.

Thank you for posting this. Will definitely be using it going forward. Beautifully simple.

When I had the chance to use it seriously many years ago, what I found about WPF is that once you got the hang of it, you could literally look at any sufficiently complex application UI and know immediately how to build it using WPF in re
