    Ximarin exposed native phone options in C#. They didn't make a compatibility layer to ease development. As you said, build your UI twice, then get native tools to compile. Now with…

    Unity would have to fork Mono, as would Gnome and Canonical and Redhat, etc... The comments here seem very trusting of Microsoft. If it was Oracle a fork would be a given.

    Having this for Monodevelop and Unity3d would be great. Even better if we have community curated suggestions.

    Yes, for the same reasons that Credit Unions are better than Banks. Watching out for the customer, in a principled way, is a great selling point. But it would also need to be stabl…

    Use the website the college has provided. This isn't about your convenience or technical judgement (about a system you don't maintain). It's about the students and the rest of the …

    Distributions include src packages separate from compiled code, so why couldn't the Apple Store (or any store) do that? This isn't a legal issue; Google allows GPL code on it's app…

    Why aren't you asking for read-receipts if that's what's desired? If it's because people wouldn't send them, shouldn't that be their choice?

    Interesting that this type of story has the opposite effect from old to new media. In the past only one side of the story would be promoted, no discussion. Now this type story comm…

    This has been asked and answered many ways over the last decade: large wealthy companies are protected, individual TOR users are not. If you doubt this, consider which group operat…

    > I would love to run mono in production, it's just so slow and buggy that this isn't possible. Is that the general opinion? I've never seen a consensus on mono for MVC.

    It's less informative to say 'Power is its own end' than to explain why people try to acquire power, what they do with it, and what they do to keep it. Since we're doing quotes: "A…

    Themes should be a collection of template/css/whatever files that can be unzipped to the right location and used by Hugo. That would need standards for the file types and directory…

    This looks great, nice work! A few things I'd recommend for the future: - Theme plugins; text based as input to Hugo, not golang packages that would have to be compiled. - Editor i…

    What's more important is that Microsoft can, like Darth Vader, alter the deal. They haven't been clear, but even if they were clear, the "facts" of how it works will remain uncerta…
