But why won't they just work on a separate branch still sitting against the main git repo? So long as the internet is up it offers the same thing basically.

That's 330 ppi by my calculation. The iphone has the same pixel density and it is very much good. I don't see the reason to push 1080 pixels on my tiny 4.5 or even 5 inch phone.

I've seen a lot of talk about how far Mono has gone in recent times but not much in writing. Do you have anything about the progress that was made? Blog posts, announcements, anecdotal evedence? I'm looking for stuff to show to th

The BCL is such a great tool that I am sometimes baffled by other languages heavy reliance on package managers like npm or gems to get basic functionality. It is consistent, well behaved and while not complete, it is very solid. The only co

I don't understand why people dismiss XML like that, I use it a lot at my line of work and it makes sense. We need the structure that JSON can't give us and other data markup languages are too obscure to teach them to everyone we

The bits that were weird for me was when telling the story of Ardor, you see the dwarves fighting and they seem to be moving too fast. But me too, as someone who like getting 60FPS from his games adjusted to the fast rate and enjoyed the re
