No. Even if the touch bar turns out to be usable (I spend most of my time in a Linux VM, so the best I can hope for are usable virtual F-keys), it's the lack of ports that kills it for me. I use a 2014 MBP and, on the move, I routinely

Looking forward to it! Can't go wrong from a user's point of view, like this we get both FA4 and FA5.

Thanks. Remaking all of FA Free sounds like a lot of work for little benefit, but I imagine it makes sense in the light of all the extra icons you're adding to Pro.

I like FA because 1) it's FA and looks alright as it is 2) can't beat free, so I don't need to worry about licenses for every single web project A completely redesigned, larger, commercial library might be interesting, but it

I'd love to see more details on that. The RPi is the easy choice for putting together a DIY system at home, but finding good and affordable remote I/O modules to run the show has not been that straightforward.

As an example, now Jeep Cherokees don't let you use/reprogram the navigation while driving. (This is the same car that can be hacked into and driven remotely through the entertainment system. Awesome that they are minding owners&#

It sounds to me like the author would rather work for a big multinational instead of a startup. By definition, a startup is an organization that doesn't even have a clear business model, let alone prospects for its employees' care

From a usability point of view is it really such a huge huge win that instead of using `typings install foo` you can now use `npm install @types/foo`? I can see it's better (not sure why a single repository(!) was ever considered

Luckily for you, Fastmail eventually got their .com, so I believe @fastmail.com should also work now (not a customer so I don't know for sure).

FYI, Gmail ignores dots before @. first.last@gmail.com, firstlast@gmail.com, and f.i.r.s.t.l.a.s.t@gmail.com are all the same address.

Thank you for the clarification, that's awesome! A small note to that effect on the website would be great, I can't be the only one wondering.

I'd like one point clarified: is this app entirely local or does it make use of any kind of cloud backend? I've already seen apps that upload photos away for processing without making it obvious (for example http://pris

In my opinion React support is progressing quickly but is not fully there yet (definitely more documentation is needed), so for the JSX part the pain is greater than the gain (especially given PropType checking already in React). As an exam

There is a grain of truth in what they're trying to say, but the conclusions are outright misguided. My favorite is "The wrong way: Thinking of patterns when solving problems." -- textbook reinventing the wheel / NIH.
