The preface to this article is annoying.

> And founder Julian Assange continues to face charges that his ‘radical transparency’ organization is a front for Kremlin agents...

The use of the word "charges" here indicates an unwarranted level of severity of these claims. He has not faced any legal charges and the only people making these accusations are those who suffered political fallout from their documents being revealed.

The fact is that there is no evidence whatsoever that wikileaks is associated with the Russian government at all and anyone claiming there is is speculating at best.

They should just rebrand it as the ministry of truth already.

What do you mean by "everything is libre"?

Sucks. I had one for years, switched to Android (for the GearVR) and have been frustrated ever since.

Windows Phone is better in a lot of ways, too bad they couldn't make it stick. It just seems like to me they mostly had a marketing problem and they needed to incentivize the mobile carriers to actually try to sell them. I remember going into the Verizon store and watching the sales people actively steer people away from the phones and push them towards Android. I don't know why that was but it seemed like a huge problem to me.

^ This. Setup your .npmignore before publishing!

Also, before packaging your Electron app use something like gulp to exclude problematic files like .md and anything else unnecessary.

There are other common tools like browserify that can still be leveraged.

I think its beautiful and fast enough for nearly anything one would want to throw at it.

Also, unbelievably faster in terms of developer time.

This title hurts my brain. I don't even know what it's trying to say.

Try making it with Electron http://electron.atom.io/

Then if you decide later you want it to be a web app its not that big of a job to convert it.

I have worked on a surprising number of desktop apps over the years, including Visual Studio and Internet Explorer. But even before that, a lot of businesses rely on desktop applications for a lot of their internal applications.

More likely she would want to draw it out as much as possible so she could get immunity as president.

This is great.

For the last couple of years, as a windows user, I have just been installing Git Scm, which includes something similar to this and have been using that for all script / command line needs.

If this was baked into Windows so much the better! I would love it if nobody ever wrote a single CMD or PS1 file ever again. Let's please all just converge on bash and put this debate behind us.
