Has anyone spent a lot of time with VS Code? I tried it a while back when it was first announced and have not found a reason to re-visit it yet. At the time it felt like a sublime-text alternative instead of an IDE (was it always positioned

I've been having some good discussions about this exact topic lately. I'm glad you brought it up. After mulling it over with some friends, I think it would be awesome to have a community gathering where the principles of its &quo

Very interesting hardware specs: Embedded Linux (OpenWRT based) x86 compatible processor I'm curious as to why they didn't go with an arm-linux combination. In any case, it sounds pretty well powered and I'm wondering if the

There are tons of trades that do not require you to ever leave a machine shop or electronics lab. If said person is very capable of coding then I would also strongly encourage them to pursue it, but to convince them that it's their only

I'm curious about this bit: Apple is within its right to send cease and desist with formal demand when it feels its patents are being violated. Naturally, part of a demand is agreement to not pursue the lawsuit if the demand is met. Typical

I'd have to agree with this assessment. I'm not sure where they got the idea from that people actually want to do work on these machines. I actually like the surface with metro UI purely as a tablet - the snap in keyboard is super conveni
