I know you're asking about iOS, but for those using Android, I can recommend EZ Folder Player.

Congratulations on launching. But you might want to clarify that this is for a very small subset of countries in the world, so the rest of us don't waste our time with it?

Put that on a t-shirt and I'll buy it. :-)

Holy crap, it's the dude from Half Life 2!

I agree, but I'd take it one step further actually. For me it doesn't cut it if the widgets just LOOK correct. I want them to BE correct. So, native widgets only please, no mimicking.

And you just can't hide it.

Because 70 meters isn't challenging enough?

Yeah, that part! Pile it all together into a script and make a movie out of it. I'd watch it! :)

(Note to folks at HN: if behind-the-scenes movies are your thing, check out Living in Oblivion with Steve Buscemi and Catherine Keener. Good stuff.)

You do realise that we need to hear more about that story, right?

All of a sudden I want a Quake Office Suite.

It's called synchronicity.

"Synchronicity is a concept, first explained by psychoanalyst Carl Jung, which holds that events are 'meaningful coincidences' if they occur with no causal relationship yet seem to be meaningfully related." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity

Good idea, I posted it to their web form.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Max also did a very nice Essential Mix for BBC two years ago. (The mix also introduced me to Niels Frahm, which I found very enjoyable. Check out his album Spaces if you don't know where to start.)

Now I tried it on my desktop, found the same demos to be not working. Kind of strange, because my desktop != my mobile. Finally figured out that I actually had to CLICK somewhere for something to happen. Easy to miss after seeing ~10 auto-playing demos, I suppose. Still: D'oh!

ALSO: Very cool, well done.

Is it for desktop only? Tried it on my mobile and nothing happened. Android 7.1.1 with Chrome 55.0.numbers.

Does that even work? Have they got some code on the back end that alerts as soon as an admin name is mentioned? Or do you just assume they read everything? (Do they!?)

Understood. I'll post a "Request For Package" to Debian, per their standard request process. We'll see what happens.

Any plans to get it into official repos?

(I'm not super excited about compiling my own stuff. It's so very, very nice to get automatic updates.)

I'm curious what results we will see when people start benchmarking it running on the same hardware but Windows in one case and Linux in the other.

Also, what would happen (if anything) if the Linux results crushed the Windows ones? Would that be embarrassing to Microsoft? And to take the thought to the next level of paranoia, let's say Microsoft already ran those benchmarks in-house and found the Linux version vastly faster. To avoid embarrassment, would they slow it down to be more in line with the Windows version?

I'm curious, how did you handle dwg files? I understand they can be quite complex.

Does this mean we finally can ditch JavaScript and use bash when we code our web apps? (Only joking a little bit, actually curious about the answer.)

Well, sort of, but not really. My mom's best friend was really jealous of mom because her computer actually worked. The friend was running WinXP, experiencing all the typical problems. So my mom didn't feel like an outsider, more like she had the luxury situation.

A couple of years later Iphones and Android appeared, and as I'm an Android user she picked one of those (to simplify potential support situations) and was very happy about her decision. (Because she liked the phone, not that she was getting support from me all the time.)

I'm sure some of her friends have Iphones, but that's never really come up as a thing. Maybe because the people my mom associate with aren't 8 years old with the need to flaunt their stuff in the face of everybody claiming "look my phone is so cool, woop woop, your phone sucks because you have a different brand!". ;-)

About eight years ago I reinstalled my mother's laptop with Ubuntu (was WinXP). It was a mess before and I typically spent most of my time at my mom's actually with her laptop, trying to get it to decent speed and uninstalling miscellaneous crapware.

Since I installed Ubuntu on it I actually spend my time with her, not her computer. And she's happy about that, obviously, but also that her computer just works and she doesn't have to call me to get support all the time.

Smartisan (the phone maker) is placed in the top level, called "Iridium". It's defined as $100,000 and above.

That level of donation used to be defined as $100,000 to $250,000. [0] The removal of the top limit could in theory mean that Smartisan actually donated more than $250,000.

Can't we just let the market handle that?

Perhaps someone high up in Google uses it and doesn't want it killed after a couple of years? ;-)

Minor note: Sublime also runs fine on Linux and Windows.

And year-month-day, please. Example: 2016-03-13

I realize that some might find this somewhat silly, but I would like to counter that with a powerful quote from The Book:

”And He placed upon his head the Hat, and He saw that it was funny. Because it was Friday.”, The Book, page 12.
