Thanks!

>a few months ago I saw a comment in Hacker News, written by Adrian Colyer...was commenting how different messaging systems have very different set of features, properties, and without the details it is almost impossible to evaluate the different choices, and to evaluate if one is faster than the other because it has a better implementation, or simple offers a lot less guarantees. So he wrote a set of questions one should ask when evaluating a messaging system.

I can not find the comment by @acolyer on HN. Who can help me?

I think that GitLab should compete directly with GitHub in open source projects hosting area. Free open tier is powerful tools for letting more people know you.

And for the whole community's benefits, we need another choice other than GitHub.

A Chinese insider here.

Most China Internet companies are more successful not because their foreign competitors are blocked, but they are more agile to move and adapt products/services to local market.

There are lots of examples. Alibaba beat eBay(never blocked) badly. JD is much popular than Amazon.com China which is continuously operating in China for long time. Tencent becomes an Internet empire via QQ, an instant messaging service which AOL, Yahoo, Microsoft all can not find reasonable monetization ways.

Maybe the best counter-example is Baidu with Google nearly blocked fully. But before that, after several years operating, Google' market share is below 30%.

The Forbes article said it is named after Star Wars space craft: http://www.forbes.com/sites/benkepes/2014/11/13/more-amazoni...

But I think it is simply named after the functional language feature. The core concept of this service is function.

What does this mean to application development? Is it something revolutionay?

Adam Langley from Google explained this in more details： https://www.imperialviolet.org/2014/10/14/poodle.html

Ray Ozzie's launch blog is also great: https://medium.com/talko-team-talk-share-do/welcome-to-talko...?

Why did Pearson sell the stake if the business of Safari is good?

Actually it is Intel's child, and can use to develop hardware and drivers for Windows and Android.

Alipay API is that bad?

Who knows when this list is updated every year?

Nobody else feels that recording music on exposed x-ray film is very cool?

Who and what will benefit from this seemingly tough book?

At least we can also name Dianping and Tudou were established before or at the same time as their western counterparts (Yelp and YouTube).

There must be something on Reddit.

Your notes should use the cloud to persist, or they will disappear when the devices are out of work.

Where did you get music? Scrape from CD?

As for GPS and calls, their infrastructures are also part of the Cloud.

Some clarification: This seems to be only for demos and samples, not really the home of source code to cooperate on.

“The Home repository is the starting point for people to learn about ASP.NET vNext, it contains samples and documentation to help folks get started and learn more about what we are doing.” [0]

“The GitHub issue list is for bugs, not discussions. If you have a question or want to start a discussion you have several options:

- Post a question on StackOverflow - Start a discussion in our ASP.NET vNext forum or JabbR chat room [1]

ASP.NET vNext includes updated versions of MVC, Web API, Web Pages, SignalR and EF... Can run on Mono, on Mac and Linux. [2]

MVC, Web API, and Web Pages will be merged into one framework, called MVC 6. MVC 6 has no dependency on System.Web. [3]

China market is not totally different of course, which is self-explanatory that we have similar services with Github, Stackoverflow, Wordpress and Hacker News.

However, it is still different, sometimes very different in details and implementation. And the difference needs time and efforts to eliminate.

I mean that the number of people who contribute to, the quality and activity of local projects is not very good, compared to the projects on Github. And the contribution from China to international projects is also not very big.

The open sources community in China is still small and lack solid industry support. We should build a bigger community and let more people have the ability and will to contribute.

I think we can open more development roadmap like localization to the community.

Editor in Chief at CSDN here. CSDN is the biggest online community for developers and IT pros in China with more than 30 million registered members. Its news and discussion service part is more like HN or Reddit/programming other than Tech Crunch. And it also has services for blogging, code hosting, programming training and careers, all developers centered.

The code hosting service under discussion is based on Gitlab, developed and operated by CSDN staff. Tencent became a sponsor this year.

And because there are not enough open source projects and contributors in China, we are instead building user community around open source projects at first. It will be a little different with Github way.

There is another good interview: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/pubs/d...

The truth is Tencent invested in a big cab hailing service Didi Dache, and promoted its payment service by paying both drivers and customers. Tencent wants to eat shares from Alipay.

Good app. But you misspelled the name: BarSense.

Qihoo provides 36T cloud storage for free: http://yunpan.360.cn/index/index/?trad=1

>the Chinese government wants this to be the standard OS in China.

That is misleading. The IT market in China is more demand-driven. Impact from the government is limited in government sectors.
