Although astroturfing doesn't seem to be a problem on HN, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't do it.

This is just more of their embrace, extend, extinguish campaign. This is the extend part.

And full of down votes for the negative comments. This website is very pro successful business, not pro tech.

If that's true, then I'd recommend not using either .NET or VSCode if cross platform matters to you. Historically speaking, Microsoft will break compatibility when it suits them.

I used VSCode once and in just ten minutes, I helped a repressive megacorp meet their HN marketing goals, instead of supporting developers who might actually need it.

So link to those articles. This article is legitimately just hero worship.

We can learn a lot from a cross section of our entire population. From one man, we can learn about rich person worship and life lotteries.

They only have to provide this because they lock down their products. They do it to themselves.

Seriously? Linux and BSD, for example, give you complete control over all the information harvested from you.

I use it as my primary gaming platform. So now you know one.

It's not like the other unintuitive program he learned before and therefore it's bad.

You didn't finish your post. You left off the part about how you read the manual and then you were fine.

What I'd really like is something that uses stylometry to track astroturfer comments, shills, fake news authors, advertisements parading as news, and PR campaigns, etc. Then just have those articles identified on places like Hacker New

They're using their billions to buy advertisements like this 'article'.

This isn't journalism, it's an advertisement.

How much does it cost to buy an article in WSJ?

It's not for all though. The Xaramin homepage doesn't even mention Linux. This is Xaramin for Some.

Given Microsoft's history, assuming poor support for non-Windows is the rule, not the exception. When there's cross platform feature parity for all their tools, then I'll reevaluate.

We will probably keep our distance from it since it's now part of Microsoft because I expect it won't be supported as well on anything other than Windows.

We have a team of non-native English speakers at my work. Hindi, Mandarin, Italian, Argentinian Spanish, and some wacky english accents like Newfie, Scottish, Irish, German... After a while they all just become "language" and your

The thing I like about Mozilla is that it isn't Microsoft or Google. Should I be buying more tinfoil?

Your failures don't make other people zealots, though. People who like Blender, who learned it quickly are not trying to harm you. They're just thrilled something so wonderful exists.

You should give it a shot. I was rounding up, actually. There are YouTube tutorials that go from zero to animation in under 20 mins. That includes rigging. Or don't and just bitch about elitism. Up to you!
25.
by floopidydoopidy 10y ago
Yeah, well that steep learning curve everyone is complaining about for blender is about an hour. After that, you'll probably be doing rigged animation. In my opinion, people associate cost with value. Something that's free MUST be

All those little things you listed are precisely what's interesting about relocating. The broad strokes of life are defined by income level everywhere, the details not. The details are interesting (to me).

Me from 2001 is astounded that people keep falling for same lie, year after year.
