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 contribute. Node.js has a board for example.

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 work. While I would prefer there wasn't as much d

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 that ties in with things like "as-use" open sour

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 doesn't matter if you're a person or

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 enough, and the under the hood pieces are C++ anyways.

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. Which was fine, as I would be at school during that time a

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 think the main thing is lack of space more than act

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 Toronto can be pretty awful. Likewise can pedestrians an

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. But also the UI tooling outside of web is also not very go

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 predicting them, and figuring out a strategy around it. Rea

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 your own device if you wish. Able to extract your data. Saa

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 Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook. Not sure how some of

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 to use.

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 mentioned I miss. Soulver, text expander, proper tw

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 it. Though as a day to day device one wears, I do worry that

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, like Hydro recently. The article doesn'

It's true. I've been using firefox again for about a month now. It's pretty decent, but definitely lags behind. Stack trace errors in the console don't respect source maps. A 3D scene ive been working on has been slow to

I think that's kind of expected though. The game you're likely working on isn't meant to really run on a Surface either.

mcnulty was a bit more understandable, but Freamon was pretty straight cut, it just felt so out of character. I think part of the problem too is that season 4 was so amazing.
