I'm a New Zealander and have been trying to relocate to the states for many years. It basically comes down to finding someone to marry me while I am there on my 3 month visiting visa.

Problem is, it's hard enough finding someone to hold my hand in NZ, let alone marriage in another country.

I had high hopes that Clinton would win and I'd have my dream realised. I guess, it was never meant to be.

I don't know where all the hate for GitLab is coming from, but for my use case, their SaaS git solution is almost exactly what I have been looking for.

It's so good, I am both surprised and angry I didn't find it sooner.

Might be costly to emulate x86 - negating the power-saving benefits of ARM, however as it'll be using an SOC, they would have a lower physical presence.

Imagine the motherboard on your phone, but in your laptop. The rest of the space would be used for batteries.

Generally speaking, I really like OSX/macOS. I am starting to grow a disdain towards Windows, with it's insistence on changing the default browser to IE + Bing on every update.

Linux is great, but it just doesn't do it superficially for me. I can make it look great for screenshots, but as soon as I click a button or engage with the DE, the facade falls apart.

macOS/OSX seems to be like a Linux distro with a very well developed desktop manager.

The only problem is, I need to buy a Mac. Who the hell can afford that, holy sh*it

As a New Zealander who wants to move to the USA, swap? (jk immigration laws make it impossible)

Philosophy, desktop environment and pre-installed packages probably.

From my understanding it is, in fact, a cross distro/cross version package manager.

I am getting confused and you nailed it. I'm referring to Snappy

Can I get someone's opinion on Snap? Is it worth paying attention to?

My understanding is that it's a package manager that installs applications in their own isolated Linux sandbox, meaning you can install/distribute them on any distribution.. right?

Does that mean software like node.js or nginx/apache will be available via Snap?

How do you know you're stressed?

I'm a Jr dev who spent a year sneaking into lectures, studying, stealing food before I became employable. I now work 70 hours a week for peanuts and although I feel fine, I am pretty sure I am about to rip my hair out.

Oh yeah, I'm probably pretty stressed.

What do I do about this?

I think they need to focus more on encouraging developers to get into making Apps for their platform.

In my opinion, we don't need another platform to learn - you can see how many people agree with me when you look at how prevalent web > native technologies are right now. PhoneGap, ReactNative, NativeScript.

If Microsoft decided to focus on Edge, not as a token "we still make browsers" gesture, but with a genuine interest to innovate.

They focused on web technologies, providing native support for web within their operating systems. Support in ways other manufacturers haven't.

Imagine if their app store was a place where you could publish a progressive web app (along side their current apps).

How low would the barrier of entry be then?

What is considered significant experience?

As a New Zealander who is unable to move anywhere else due to immigration laws. I am happy for you, but the Jealousy is real.

Easy fix, bring macOS to non Apple hardware.

Please open macOS to non Apple hardware. I'd actually buy a license for that.
