To be honest, i don't know if it's practical for something like this to be community funded. Ideally there would be a committee from multiple companies who have interest that can c…

Why does this tie to the linux foundation? > How about running npm like an open source project instead? In the end such a large service requires a fair bit of hardware & costs to w…

I remember people saying that when they were raising the minimum wage in ontario. Really though those machines have been around for much longer.

Ah i think i may have misunderstood how the system is made. It is purely peer to peer. So any issues could be if the software has a security vulnerability, but I'm not sure how tha…

It's worse than facebook because there's no one to have responsibility to be accountable. This ties in with your question about GDPR. While I'm not a lawyer, as far as I know it do…

While I hear generally about garbage collection causing dropped frames. I've had this happen to me in HTML5 land. I haven't heard about it as much with Unity, that C# was fast enou…

I think the only non compete i've had was for one of my 4-month co-op jobs. I think it lasted only a few months, and it was not to work at a software company in the same field. Whi…

I think that person meant npm 5 perhaps?

Ah okay. I was mainly recalling what I saw in Amsterdam as well more recently in Vienna. I have been to germany, but my memory of cyclist life there is much more hazy :)

Most of them are good. But i've seen many run red lights, go the wrong way on a one way street, i've been nearly hit by cyclists a few times. In terms of driving with cyclists, I t…

In many cases I see cycling ruin life if you enjoy driving or walking ;). I do find places that i've seen be bike friendly in Europe do a much better job at this. But cyclists in T…

>I think Netflix is a huge vindication of copyright. It started out as a middleman simple peddling other people’s content. But copyright forced them to start producing their own co…

C is neither here nor there. Really anything compiling down to the platform code would improve things. Running a browser environment for these applications is just not as efficient…

Really just this year is the first time i've been using it for larger side projects. While I still run into some things with the borrow checker, I find I'm much better at predictin…

> More like I can make 3x for the same job here. I know that silicon valley pays a fair bit, but cost to live there is also rather high. Is that true for most jobs across the US? I…

Search has been faster than it used to be. I've noticed this in Mail on iOS as well. I use airmail, which i don't think it downloads all emails locally.

That would then also apply to games. Anything that really runs on a device. Really I think we just need better regulation around it all. So making sure that you are allowed to hack…

I feel like taxing proprietary software, or making it illegal would be awful. Many companies big to small run businesses off of proprietary software. You have the big players like …

I generally like Inbox as well, feels faster than gmail. Though i've recently gone back to using a local client instead of the web. It's a bit of a change, but just feels simpler t…

agreed. I have a gaming PC at home, as well as a separate gaming laptop that I use for events. I've tried coding on it, and it's just not as good. Little things like the apps you m…

> They would probably be better off funding a bunch of people to try to find something compelling to do with the current generation of hardware. As a completely separate peripheral…

I think your fears are fair. Though in that specific shot, this reminds me of times where with a single headset, we all take turns using it, and the others enjoy watching them do i…

I don't care much for notifications either. Offline support is pretty great though. Even when online, page load speed tends to be faster.

I agree with you. But typically when people make such an argument, it's about where we spend money.

"This should surprise absolutely nobody" It surprises me, because I've never been up there. I do accept that we have issues, and that people have been getting hit by harsher bills,…
