I've watched people do work in vim. They don't work any faster than people using VS Code. Quite the opposite. I see them make more mistakes and lose their place often because they don't have the same quality of tools integrat

And Apple protecting her from that is the only solution? I don't think so... With just a tiny bit of imagination I'm sure we can come up with something which will work. Here's an idea: Let Apple sell Apple-locked and unlocked

Maybe. We'll see! The point is that if Apple chooses to do business in our country, they'll follow our rules. Nobody is forever in debt to Apple for starting an app store. The fight can continue infinitely since we can change the

I would pay to get rid of ads. The only problem is that I would need to log into YouTube to take advantage of that. If I log into YouTube, that requires me to be logged into Google everywhere and I do not want that at all. The only solution

One thing that I don't like about unsecure sites is that, depending on the ISP or Wifi access point, they might inject things into the stream.

My work takes place at a beefy desktop machine. I wouldn't want it any other way... I get to plug in as many displays as I need, I get all the memory I need, I can add internal drives, there's no shortage of USB ports or expansion

VS Code launches instantly on my i7-4770 under Linux with XFCE. Same under Windows. So do Slack and Spotify... That's an 8 year old CPU! If you're having issues, the problem lies elsewhere not with Electron.

Sorry, but I don't believe you. You said "HN relationship bingo card" and you play Bingo in one sitting, on one day and not across multiple threads. Perhaps it's just a bad analogy. If you think you're doing well [0

Golly, I bet if I build for Android I can get half of all the users in the USA to move to that platform too! That way everybody who has a smart phone could all use my app... Aww shucks, my app is a game for kids though and 90% of the youth

That certainly includes people who start or take part in witch hunts. I'd never hire one of them because it invites too much drama. Give me people who aren't offended at every little thing. I'm happy for this support from PG.

As a desktop user mainly, this is exciting! I really only use laptops for meetings, but next time I upgrade my laptop, I'm getting one!! If it works well, I might consider switching back to a laptop for my main workstation...

The article says it cannot be done from home. FB requires these moderators to work in the office. It's probably done to prevent them from sharing what they see with other members of their household, just like the NDA they have to sign.

I don't understand why FB didn't instead try to appeal to people's desire for freedom. Instead of talking about ads they could have built a whole campaign around how Apple doesn't let people control their own devices. Th
