My personal reason was observing the huge amount of investments into Javascript and its infrastructure (by Google and others). After Node.js was released it was a rational bet to m…

My point was regarding the "no censorship in Scandinavia" comment that I replied to. The rest of your arguments are just ramblings about you not caring about individual freedom. Yo…

You're just lucky YOU aren't affected yet. Try telling that norwegian poker player who is unable to wire legal poker earnings from a tournament abroad to his bank home. Or to any o…

In 2016, I identified and wrote about the lack of retina support for Gimp here https://artplusmarketing.com/gimp-and-inkscape-on-retina-mac... . I know Inkscape got retina support …

I'm all for using free / open source where it makes sense and is cost effective. And frankly, Office is probably overkill for most of the actual needs of users. Having said that, I…

LG had good phones. But while most other phones allowed some minor cracks in their glass, the earlier LGs did not. One minor crack and the touch UI would stop working (they fused t…

Yeah, except I guess 98% of HiDPI users are on MacOS, a platform they are currently unable to create builds for.

And I'm sure that makes sense if you have lots of users and low revenue per customer. If your use case is the opposite, tracking individual usage becomes more important. At least u…

Thanks for the tip. One of Heap's selling points seems to be that tracking events "manually" is over, everything is automatic. That might work if all "work" is defined as "stuff us…

I was recently looking for a good tool that supports both web site analytics and app analytics (custom events, typically pushed by SPAs). I looked at GA, Amplitude and finally Mato…

Requiring people to have a Google account or similar is probably the primary reason why competitors such as Zoom had any chance to begin with. They can call it a security feature a…

If I read it right, they still require everybody joining to have a Google account. Which means the others that don't require this will keep growing. I mean, we're a Google shop ok,…

Per capita / adjusted by population numbers would be great, thanks. :)

Disregarding the history behind js2-mode, if it has been decided that Emacs 27 will feature a much improved js-mode, I was just puzzled that it wasn't put into 26.x as a package al…

Consider the poor quality of the existing js modes for 26.x, any idea why this depends on a future version of Emacs instead of current versions? Alternatively, could somebody convi…

Surprised nobody mentioned that the whole fund and its future returns have been promised away already as future pension for the people working for the government (far too many). Th…

Paywalled, no easy workarounds AFAIK.

I doubt the climate in Netherlands is comparable. A week here and there with snow doesn't even compare. The pro car ban people mostly argue that if only the public transportation g…

What the PR piece doesn't show is that during winter (4-6 months a year), very few ride bicycles around. In winter most people don't stay outside a lot, the weather is harsh (peopl…

Excellent news. Google mostly does not have their own desktop OS to "protect", so they are probably incentivised to make the browser and the apps running in it feel as "native" as …

Does the poster or anybody else want to comment on how this compares to https://appear.in/ for instance?

It's true for anything with a GUI using GTK or similar. For cmdline, macOS is generally a lot better. WSL is getting really good as well, so cmdline on Windows (well, it's actually…

So I'll just add this: https://artplusmarketing.com/gimp-and-inkscape-on-retina-mac... Long story short; if you're on retina screens (which most Macs have) there are bigger issues …

If you're the only developer, do what you want. If not, don't do what you want but what is best for the project. Which probably isn't what you want. ;-)
