While I get that it's uncool to like Windows on HN, I really like Windows 10. With WSL, all of the CLI tools I need for development are here along with better hardware support (including suspend / resume, high DPI monitor support

You're forgetting the transfer / bandwidth costs.

Bandwidth and storage aren't free. What is your business model? Things without clear business models usually me YOU are the business model.

TLDR: Never type 'EXEC DeleteStuff ALL' When you actually mean 'EXEC DeleteStuff SOME'

Agreed. It's usually the opposite, especially in enterprise. People on HN get in their bubbles and forget that most large businesses use Windows.

Why do you want turn avoid Visual Studio out of curiosity? It's pretty great now.

Yeah. I could see it for batch processing. It's just not suitable for real time / API work that I was hoping to use it for.

Lambda cold start time for a .NET app that made a SQL connection and then did a simple count command was multiple seconds. Not useful for production.

This argument is FUD. Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc weren't "banned" because they share a great deal of information with us about people seeking entry into our country. The 7 "banned" countries do not. It's that sim

My browser focused on privacy is called Firefox (with a few key extensions). Why take out of date Chromium over fully supported Firefox?

This is at least the 8th time this has been posted ( https://hn.algolia.com/?q=localForage ). Is there something new or significant that we need to know about?

I'm surprised that they didn't mention monetization / profitability. Even basic Google / Bing API usage will start to add up on any moderately popular chatbot with some kind of search functionality. Without the ability

I agree with this assessment. My Pixel XL is easily the best smartphone I've ever owned (2 BlackBerrys, iPhone 3G, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy 3, Note 3, Nexus 6P)

Some political activists have no choice but to yell "Fake News!" to rationalize censorship now, because they basically used "Racist!" to censor views they didn't like so much that the word no longer has meaning. It

A similar name may be enough to fool everyday users, but I don't think they're going to trick Mozilla and Google into trusting then.

Censorship is never a good thing. The 4 groups they picked are all hyper partisan.

Don't leave out Mikrotik hardware from the mix. Mikrotik routers are much better than consumer-grade things you buy at Best Buy and provide advanced features.

Because this is the "bad" kind of propaganda. CNN telling the public that it's illegal for them to go to wikileaks or that globalism is just a conspiracy theory is the "good" kind. Don't worry if you're co

Drudge Report and Wikileaks are on the PropOrNot list. Do you believe that they're propaganda?

"Fake News" is just the newest thing to scream in order to convince yourself that censorship is OK. At least they're not trying to continue beating the "If you don't agree with me then you're racist!" dead

Will this eventually work with the hardware on my Pixel XL and my Daydream headset?
