My times are similar. I also ran on Safari which is faster than Chrome but slower than Firefox.

The reason is simple, Windows 7 has over 40% market share. It's hard to ignore that.

The platform UWP needs to run on is Windows 7. Without that support it’s not an option for my company.

Why is that? Latest versions of Chrome and Firefox work fine on Windows 7 , so they have real competition in this area.

Link is broken.

I often wonder would Erlang be a good language for embedded automotive systems. It's seems to have the right traits - no GC pauses, built for reliability etc.

It's been a while since I did any serious maths, would I be lost in course like this ?

They are widely available in Europe. Do you mean they don't sell well outside of the USA ?

The Cisco office in SF has free breakfast and lunch.

I know its been a while since it got an update but my MacPro has 32G of RAM and can go a lot higher.

I think they do it for the publicity.

1) Native L&F 2) More responsive UI 3) Lower memory footprint

As a dev I'm biased of course and this might not matter to most people. One thing though, you don't have to write the full app three times. For example all the business logic can be in C++ and write a native UI on top of it.

I can understand why small teams with a web background might pick Electron instead of going native but I don't understand why the larger companies like Slack don't write a native app when they have the resources to hire the talent.

Why is it considered a dangerous practice?

Whoops - thanks for the correction.

I used to think that way until I watched C.G.P Grey short video on the topic "Humans need not apply" https://youtu.be/9BMcks55vfE

Can not copy the url for a session using the iPad.

I would have guessed that the prices would have come down by this point. I could imagine it retailing for around 200 and doing quite well.

Agree completely, it comes across that the author of the post has read some useful guidelines and created a strict rule which must not be broken.

Thank you.

What does pivot mean in this context ?

How do you know this ?

Great to know this now instead of having to wait until next WWDC.

Any news regarding Swifts ability to interoperate with CPP, like Objective C++?

I had a conversation with two developers at work were trying to convince me that C++ 11/14 feels like a totally different language and a lot more enjoyable to work with. While I wasn't sold I did make a mental note to take look with an open mind.

Linus is talking about C++ which no ones considers safe.

I live in Galway, what type of jobs are created in data centres? I'm guessing there's very little, if any software development.

Exactly, only so many developers can work on OS X.

How much of Scala and its APIs can be used? For example can you use Scala Actors in Scala.js?
