The new compiler is Apache 2.

Not sure it really solves forum's problems. Have you seen/tried Discourse[1]? They do try to solve them. [1]: http://www.discourse.org …

I'm not sure any of this would have happened without Miguel. Mono really gave .NET a second life when MS dropped the ball. It's also somehow satisfying to witness Xamarin's success and …

Kind of... Still, they didn't use .NET, Windows Forms, WPF and countless data access layers in their core products (Office and Windows), which probably contributed to the fact most of these frame…

Ouch! In the end, it was a joke.

I'm not sure why you think MVC should be RESTful. These patterns solve different problems. It's fitting they have different implementations, not a one-size-fits-all framework.

A journalist I know confirms it's true (coming from good sources he says). Also several Russian media news sites (that have good ties with VK) confirm it's not a joke.

Selling shares and resigning as CEO were two separate events.

Why is Hacker News hating on Paper? I'm genuinely curious. Three downvotes for mentioning it in response to >the product is stagnating

... or buying companies that know how to innovate.

>FB is nothing more than organic growth You seem to be underestimating how difficult organic growth is. (In terms of product design, not engineering. And yes, Facebook circa 2006 is great product…

Execution is king.

He's not saying “stick it in your games”, is he? He is talking different kinds of applications. Also, I wouldn't mind ads on the streets in a game city because I'm sort of used to them …

Have you seen Paper?

This doesn't make sense at all. Imagine the new generation goes purely VR and doesn't use the “old web” for entertainment. What would be the point of “Login with Facebook“ if those kids don&…
comment
Seriously? The only reason to own a VR problem is to stick in “sign in via some website that used to be popular in the old web“ button? What would it give them anyway? Drive up Facebook usage on the o…

>even if the Rift universe they built is beeing crapped on by like buttons Why do a lot of people keep repeating this? Does Google create self-driving cars to show ads on the windshields? I just do…

Do you seriously believe this?
Then there will be competitors without ads.

I don't get why you're downvoted. Toggling between two completely different newsfeeds based on screen size is not responsive—it's inconsistent. If you don't agree, check out how …

>Let the Indians keep their talented engineers -- let them improve India It's all about the choice, isn't it? Me staying in my home country doesn't improve it anyhow. Those who try h…

I use it all the time in Safari and love it.
In Chrome it's less obvious when it is being triggered though.

If it's output is semantic and doesn't suffer from inline styles madness (like Chrome likes to mess up contentEditable), you can just convert HTML to MD without lots of issues. Sure it'…

I'm so so glad. Just two weeks ago I thought we'd have to implement the same thing for the same reasons: old editors were good in handling browser inconsistencies but bad in being too tightl…

Did Flash ever compile to JS+HTML?
comment
It's just the first impression. React view code is not HTML in pure sense—it's a DSL for describing virtual DOM tree (that happens to look a lot like HTML for obvious reasons). You won'…
