Clipboard. This is brilliant when you have to use similar set of responses.

This along with swipe are life-savers.

Wow man.

Your comment brought me memories. This exactly was what made me switch over too back then.

Pre-VS setup was: Atom for most cases but [large files | quickly edit something] was with Brackets (It was unbelievably swift)

VS Code comes in and says: Don't worry. I got you!

It's also that they have reason not to change up things. They have created vibrant monetisation mechanisms & fine tuned those mechanisms.

Innovating means new patterns of interactions & ideas. This also means new forms of monetisation that might be required.

As an example all the previous FB & instagram ads became obsolete or useless once they introduced stories. Now, have to create better ad formats and subsequently take few quarters to fine tune the experience and pricing.

In old safari, try setting 'max-content' to to any div 'width' attribute and it'll crash. This has been a persistent since many years and yet not fixed.

Personally, for me though Pre-W10: Average UI, Great UX. W10: Nice UI touches, No-so great UX.

Yahoo and Microsoft compete in most of the divisions. Namely search, sports, news, video, mail, chat and advertising. Probably, the news & media part of Yahoo is the only thing better than Microsoft at this point; Even, that I don't see remaining as such for long time with MSN coping up well.

So, if Microsoft would have acquired Yahoo they would have surplus of divisions and similarly talented people & infrastructure; Which would eventually lead to more layoffs and more time wasted consolidating teams, infra, design and resources.

Please. This fanboyism without any concrete evidence is just a troll comment. I can go an about how Apple ios design brought in inspiration from Windows Metro & from other competitors too but, this thread isn't about that. Please do provide specific examples or notes to validate or create a new thread.

GPL and Open Source are still a cancer purely from Business perspective especially on a short term perspective. This is exactly Steve Ballmer too, he is a business guy running a tech organization. He generated huge profits. Satya Nadella is a technical guy, who had seen the benefits of OSS tools, languages and platforms to know how they impact both the developer mindshare & long-term company perspective

.NET Core is a hugely useful OSS project, only suprassed by another of theirs called "VS Code". I use it on day to day basis.

When I'm on OSX I'm exclusively on Webstorm. When I switch for my personal work to Windows I mostly use VS Code. Webstorm just doesn't render the font, the IDE frame correctly. I find it either too small or big. Webstorm also doesn't use "ctr+w" to close tabs on Windows & linux while does that on OSX.

Every website is routed through Facebook servers. They created a pseudo-standard as opposed to standard HTML and only the websites with that would be allowed onto the program. Imagine if Google comes over and says "AMP" loads faster, takes less data is better but, is a subset of HTML spec & "Google"-sponsored format; So, we will give free internet access but, only websites which adapt to our specifications would be allowed and not everyone. You either provide internet access or no. Facebook could have gone with tiered system in regard to Free basics as in provide free data only for about "X" GB. Most of India consumes internet in terms of amount of data. They didn't go about this approach but, rather wanted to get on with providing free internet but, collect data of the website visit information, hava user analytics.

Another important consideration is that Facebook only allowed any website to be in it after initial backlash. Initially, it only allowed websites deemed necessary by Facebook like "facebook", "messenger", "groups" and "Google. No way for users or website owners to say they'd like a wesbite "xyz" as part of program. This was and is an attempt by Facebook to create a walled gatway to internet by Facebook masked by their philanthrophic arm.

Torrents and mesh networks were breaking out to be the future of internet during mid and late 90s (Also why Skype was P2P and why it was successfull). I'm not sure what happened to it though.

Even now I do the same. In india direct downloads are slightly slower. I guess it's to do with the mirror location or something else. Torrent makes it much faster

I prefer git CLI mostly, except for merge conflicts. Exclusively for git merge conficts I use IDEA IDE resources. Otherwise CLI is my friend because I feel safe (git push and git commit have the best color-coded messages in most OSes)
