Why help complete this? If they would be willing to have an open source D2 out there, they can just release the original source code. It would seem even more "ideal" to me.

I wonder just how strange and alien most locals would find the above comment about their town. Not trying to be offensive here, I just find the thought of using Google Street View coverage as any kind of metric for such a place so... jarrin

Except they are not extinguishing Linux as a whole, simply phasing it out of their own OS offerings. Linux itself is still alive and thriving, and will continue as such even after it has been replaced in Android and/or its successor. T

The message content is fine, even laudable. It's the tone that rubs a lot of people the wrong way. I've been choosing gnu tools over non-free ones whenever I could for over ten years now, and I deeply believe in the GPL, but the c

I was also dismayed by the lack of choices in smaller smartphones a few months ago when my Nexus 4 died. I tried an LG G5 for a while but couldn't handle the larger screen. It's not iOS, but I got a Sony Xperia ZX2 Compact as a re

Not the person you were replying to, but that was unnecessarily mean. Instead of just poking fun at someone else's ignorance, perhaps you can enlighten them?

While I generally agree with the "if it ain't broke" sentiment, you have to perform some pretty wild mental gymnastics to end up calling COBOL the "best tool for the job". Adoption and ease of learning should always

From the FAQ: It is a work in progress. The current version is a rough draft with many problems and placeholders. I am using gitbook and github to keep track of versions of this website and the book itself. You definitely do not ge

This again... If you really believe that the "decline in quality of the web" can be attributed to web developers, then I'm sorry but you're just not seeing the big picture. Marketers want more and more precise user track

Others have brought up good points, but I'd also add that the ad-hoc solution only supports calling methods on possibly-null objects. If you want to pass a possibly-null object to a function that does not accept null values, only the m

Thank you so much for this, I can't wait to try out the Linux version. Are you using GTK+ for the UI on Linux? Your website does not specify. I'm asking because high-dpi support on Linux/Wayland is constantly problematic for

I think you're absolutely underestimating the consequences of the various antitrust rulings Microsoft had to submit to, especially in the European Union. Even if Microsoft was no longer a monopoly (which, by the way, is entirely incorr

Unless I'm misunderstanding it, the Substratum project you've linked is attempting to implement a decentralized WEB, not a decentralized INTERNET. From what I gather, Substratum would still be running on the same internet backbone

Was the system call part of POSIX or the standard Linux interface? Because if so, that sounds like the fault belongs to Amazon, not Go. The same thing could happen to the Python interpreter .
