I consider this article the equivalent of announcing the stepping down of a founder of a porn site. Why is this considered news?

> servers with almost read only data that can't normally propagate a virus infection. Those are FreeBSD servers so you are correct but something needs to prevent that data from bei…

Nowadays, everything is considered racist. EDIT: See what I mean?

You shouldn't expose such information and I will not reply.

Again, if you are going to follow Microsoft as a leader, you're following the wrong dog. Never, EVER, use Microsoft browsers as a reference.

In 30 years of working in electronics and software, I have never been sent on an interview, or even contacted by an employer, through any recruiter, despite getting weekly calls fr…

"Adobe on Wednesday said it will no longer push its Flash software format for use in the browser programs that come with smartphones and tablet computers. Instead, Adobe will incre…

Never, EVER use a Microsoft browser as a reference for how things should work! As far as Adobe is concerned, they stopped development of Flash on mobile and recommends switching to…

If someone can find an out, someone on HN will find it.

You're talking about tools that have broken. We're talking about tools that work as advertised.

Edge is IE12. They forked the Trident engine to remove all the legacy stuff. Otherwise, everything else is the same and gets the same new stuff that IE12 would have. No different.

To blame your tool when you don't use it correctly is a typical fallacy found on forums everywhere. You blame the car for your accident, your parents for being in jail, the hammer …

Hmm. As an assembly language programmer, electronic engineer, who was forced into learning this new "high level language" by our MIT educated boss, decades ago, I can assure you th…

C doesn't have any problems just because you use it poorly. The only thing with a problem would be the coder.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Do you think these tests were created and maintained for free? Do you think the certification process happens on its own? Do you think ther…

Some guy had a problem with his Nest Protect. Why did someone rush to put this on HN? Will we need to hear about his car problems, too?

OSX is not "based on" Unix. OSX IS Unix: http://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3607.htm

Who creates what you see on the App Store? Who wrote all that and designed it? Who wrote the code for the App Store? Are you saying no professional sales people were involved in th…

Anyone who thinks the cost of selling software is remotely near zero should be ignored. Ads need to be produced and thought up and salesmen need to be paid and packaging still must…

My problem with this article and its statement is that it's saying to "sunset" C/C++ because it causes problems but the problems are caused by an incompetent user, not C. I see so …

Which emphasizes my point. There are few places where C's strength is not prevalent and its weaknesses won't kill you.

Niche? C and Java are the most used languages in the world!

Becoming widespread? Outside the desktop, the most commonly used operating system is Unix and its "likes" and dominates the internet and mobile devices.

If by "tools" you mean "user" then, yes, you are correct. This author is a tool. In French, your first line would be, "Oh, hell no!"

Hmm. I've been doing this for years on my server. Why is this needed if you know how to code? I don't understand. On top of that, they want you to pay to use their "cloud service"?…
