It's more polished because the (almost) entire team of OpenOffice left and created the LibreOffice project, AFAIK. Same as what happened with MySQL -> MariaDB.

I have removed my Google Analytics tracking code from my sites, and have abandoned Disqus in favour of a self-hosted commenting solution. Since I am not setting any cookies, I have…

Did I say something wrong? I mean that it is only natural that like minded people seeks one another, and group up in clusters. It is human nature. Yes, it's expensive, but there ar…

Because developers are social animals too?

Good advice, but loaded with assumptions that may or may not be true. The original article, and the response, are two views of the "problem" at opposite ends of the spectrum (so to…

I agree. But there is one difference between watching a crappy TV show and playing a crappy Video Game: You are actively engaged in playing the game. No matter how trivial it is. O…

Yes, I actually do have this backwards .. in more than one way ..:P Sorry, I was thinking of Lua for Qt5 .. That was silly! And, it is a pity about PySide, it was a neat project. :…

PyQt5 does not seem to be maintained. The last couple of times I checked it, it was pretty dead: one maintainer with no time.

Black History Month - that's why.

If you want to own (and control) your site's comments, then Isso is for you. It is that simple. :) Your server, your data. Disqus is offering you a free service for a reason: they …

Don't worry about Juvia. Project has been dead for years..

This is an Open Source and self-hosted alternative to Disqus. It is not a product. And, as such: doesn't need to market itself. Use it if you want to. Or not. I wanted to use it, b…

Ubuntu - Canonical in general - is not a good representative of "Open Source". They don't contribute back to Debian, don't cooperate with the Gnome project (Unity?), and there are …

The idea is much, much better than the name :)

Do you know who Marco Cantu is? Apparently not. ;)

I have been following Lazarus / Free Pascal for years - and, as it turns out, started using it in earnest one week ago. It's great! :)

Please search before jumping to conclusions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ObjectVision :)

Do you even know what RAD means? 20 years ago, RAD meant that you could drop visual components on a form, add some events, set some properties, and hit the green run button to comp…

I am actively using Lazarus. It is not split into anything other than Free Pascal (the language) and Lazarus (IDE and visual component library). Don't blame the forks, mods and spi…

Lazarus and Free Pascal has made me return to the wonderful world of RAD and Object Pascal. :) I was a Delphi addict in the 90's. After Borland screwed up Delphi - including the Ky…

Because they are not competing with another! :) Taken from Dave Cheney's https://dave.cheney.net/2015/07/02/why-go-and-rust-are-not-c... -> "Rust competes for mindshare with C++ an…

There is something really wrong about Biicode. They seem to be way too focused on marketing and buzz words and popularity instead of just letting the software do the talking.

People want instant gratification... Seriously. Use TextMate if you want a quick to learn, but limited, editor.

I do not question that he would agree with you. He's not smarter than me, though. :) Or Jeff Pace: http://jpace.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/ergonomic-emacs-keybin...

UndoTree is a true godsend! It basically shows a graphic over the undo tree and lets you navigate it. Really handy. :)
