You're right that can happen in most cases, but look at Microsoft's recent acquistions: LinkedIn, GitHub, Xamarin, and game studios like Mojang, Double Fine, Obsidian, and inXile. …

Tell them what exactly? That's a case of a developer not wanting to continue maintaining an app on the platform. And thankfully WINE and Proton are able to pick up the slack and ma…

This appears to be a move to meet package managers halfway. Yes, tools like npm and go have great integration with git repositories, but others like NuGet still require a hosting s…

No. So in his proposed system, we would define the procedure for making that information protected. The failure of our current government in this regard is that the default for any…

My uncle in Kansas City runs a coffee shop that ran Starbucks of out business[1]. Starbucks brought coffee shops to the masses, but once people get hooked they generally like to su…

In addition to the other responses, when I was developing a game / game engine we chose Awesomium to render the UI to improve modding capabilities. A lot more people are willing to…

Techmeme mostly has human curation and a little bit of automation, though it is hard to tell from the outside how much that factors in. Human curators also rename article titles to…

A solution: everyone is sequentially numbered. Evens rotate left one round, odds rotate right the next round. That way everyone has to move the same amount (assuming an even number…

Definitely. The target specs[1] they announced are pretty beefy: NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD 290 equivalent or greater, Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater, and 8GB+ RAM. However, now tha…

I assume "composite views" -> "playlists." I have a 3,200 song playlist that takes 5-10 seconds to load, whereas it was <1 second prior to the latest update. Maybe it was caching a…

You seem a bit confused as to what the target audience for this is - not unexpected given the single day the project has been online, but a topic worth discussing nonetheless. Your…
