  1. That would be another flaw in your thinking.

  2. Not only full open, but said to be more power efficient than ARM. Rather interesting, even if the truth is more nuanced.

  3. The main issue is Meltdown, which is Intel-only.

  4. Whoops, this is basically an ad for Ryzen.

    No good with a lot of tabs?

    The Chrome UI with lots of tabs open is crap.

    Right, that's why you should be moving to Vulkan/DX12 now, the future of high performance gaming. That's where Ryzen + Radeon/Vega kick Intel's tail. Why stay mired in obsolete game engine technology? You need to be ready for the upcoming wave of high performance FPS and VR games.

    Capital cost on video games is so enormous, it's hard to get worked up about video game prices, especially for skins in free to play games. If it bothers you then wait for the discounts.

    If you want to do business, then you gotta pay the fee.

    Yah, no. There are little details like consumer protection and antitrust, admittedly taken more seriously in Europe these days.

    Since you don't have to use their store. Just like Epic did with their game.
    Apple's, however, is a real tax.

    Oh my, Apple astroturfers are on the job again.

  10. When your accountant starts asking you about Bitcoin, you know it's time to get out.

    If you find Chrome too patronizing, the good thing you have Firefox. Generally a better browser anyway, for example Chrome just isn't usable with a lot of tabs. So many small things, like you can delete a cached url from the popup list in Firefox, not in Chrome. And Chrome popup url suggestions are horrible at finding text in the middle of the URL string. Such warts are really grating if you have something to compare to that does it better.

    Corporations who adopted Flash can fuck themselves.

  15. It doesn't take a genius to see that the $1000 phone will soon go the way of the $5000 desktop. It was a status symbol at one time, now it isn't. If you need an expensive status symbol, buy a watch.

  16. No, sorry, you're wrong, Flash was never good at any time, it was always a blight on the internet. Remember Flash menus?

  17. For the price I'll take a smaller, thicker phone and buy a GoPro.

    Cameras on midrange phones are getting really nice too. I just love what I can do with my G6+. (But of course I stil use the DSLR for anything serious.)

  18. It's a clear and present danger to Apple

  19. Well, you can look at it as all those PHP, Perl, and VB projects as being potential clients for you to upgrade at some point in the future when they creak and fail or become unmaintainable for various reasons such as cost, stability issues, or merely time to get new features out to market.

    You could say the same about badly engineered bridges. How much damage will they cause in the process of falling apart?

  20. Have you ever tried to maintain a Perl script? A big one?

  21. So you're the guy who starts all those Node.js projects.

  22. In your example, Qt apps still don't link to GTK.

    Wine implements the entire Windows ABI, a bit more than a widget set.

  24. Go is a fun language, and it's great for writing custom servers...

    Right, like web backends. My point.

    it just doesn't have the library support that Java has

    Go's FFI (foreign function interface) gives efficient access to C libraries, which is to say, pretty much everything you need.

    I would not recommend using it for standard enterprise software for that reason..

    I was comparing Go to Node.js, remember? Anybody who chooses Node.js for a web server backend should be fired before they spread, I stand by that.
