fullofiton Opera Neon concept browser

This doesn't make sense until the browser and the OS shell are combined into one thing.

fullofiton Apple, this time you made a mistake

Has a desktop Geforce 1080 in it, mechanical keyboard, Gsync display... drool.

fullofiton Microsoft, I Forgive You

> But... Powershell, really? The Linux subsystem exists now, you know :)

Piping objects is better than parsing text.

fullofiton How to avoid rewriting your JavaScript application

That's just an implementation detail. All these declarative UI ideas are variations of sprintf. Something, somewhere, is going to do a diff no matter what, whether it's a virtual DOM or the browser itself.

fullofiton Nintendo Switch – New Video Game System [video]

1. tflops is pretty meaningless, especially between different GPU architectures.

2. Both Xbox and PS4 consume around 100W. Unless the Switch has 10x the perf/watt, it seems like performance won't be comparable.

fullofiton Shame on Y Combinator

Racism, sexism, calling the election "rigged", saying you are going to prosecute your opponent, accusing them of being on drugs, bragging about sexual assault...

fullofiton Include cuts off Y Combinator because Peter Thiel is a part-time investor there
