Why is the major version still zero?

AFAIK React is used in production, and I can not find any alpha/beta labelling on their website either?

Uh, Pure is not news? Already have a few years on its back, and development seems stalled.

I always use 80 character limit as long lines makes it hard to for me follow the flow, and it's not unusual to lose track of which line I was on when going to the next line.

Sure there are huge monitors with insane dpi allowing a ridiculous amount of text, but I'm not getting younger and find myself increasing font size every now and then to be able to read.

Getting old sucks sometimes.

Many people seem to be upset with Oracle, but I think they should be upset with the vendors who ship applications/libraries that depend on the "sun.*" packages.

Oracle (then Sun) have since _1998_ strongly discouraged the use of them: https://web.archive.org/web/19980215011039/http://java.sun.c...

Can't speak for anyone else but I use Mercurial because it's fast, user friendly and easy to extend with your own plugins.

Due to reasons I had to install WinXP on my Core i7 a few weeks ago and was astonished how snappy it was compared to Win7.

Well, the idea behind F-Droid is "free-of-charge, free and open-source software". If the software doesn't live up to that, I feel their are in their right to remove it.

And honestly if you want the full featured software and don't care about ideals, just download it from Play.

Well, some things at Mozilla seem a bit odd.

A few weeks ago Nightly ended up having "Pocket" integrated, and rumour said it would replace Mozilla's own open source Sync plus the integrated Reader.

Addons will soon no longer be able to be installed unless approved by Mozilla. (Another walled garden. Sigh...)

On a completely different sidenote; it seems microsoft adopted Wordpress as publishing platform. At least for that site.

In my experience this is not restricted to manufacturers. Routers supplied by ISP's and carriers often have custom firmwares with have backdoors as well, of course labelled as a "Maintenance & Remote Service" feature. After figuring out the password on mine, I had no issue going into my neighbours router with full access...

I use SA on my own domains and I feel it is as efficient as Google's own spam detection. Although no spam mails slipped through in months, a few legit got caught due to their incompetence in html-emails.

As for ClamAV, their database is updated frequently. It's probably not as good as commercial vendors such as Symantec, NOD32 and so on (can't compare because I haven't used them for years), but I feel it offers some protection.

I have faith in EU to set some kind of standard for at least Europe.

That is exactly why I love postfix/dovecot, there are X ways to do it and I can get it to fit my specific needs perfectly.

Uhm, did you even read the article?

The project is already being worked on and support for Py3 is implemented. He's reaching out looking for people to help him test it.

I'm pretty sure I still can see what people searched for when ending up on my site in Google Analytics. Or did I misunderstand something?

You nailed it. The most viable business models seems to be when a product is free to obtain and the revenue comes from advertising, in-product additions and/or selling services which are connected to a server.

My guess is that he posted it as it may affect the IT-industry and startups therein severely, something HN is covering.
