I'm sold, I buy one.

I think you didn't get my point -- they engage in such activities because they couldnt succeed somewhere else and think the cause of their failure is that women do not have same opportunities. Moreover, it's easy to get attention with this subject. Women and career is a foolproof topic press and media love. Women who really succeed do not have the time to engage and they do not need to. They don't need this special treatment because they are successful because of what they do and not what they are.

I have two daughters, I strongly believe that women are very talented, in particular communications, management and focus are their strengths where they can easily outplay their male competition but I dislike this women movement everywhere.

Women do not need special treatment, they are not disabled. They were enough women making stellar careers for years. Such events make women feel disabled.

But I know that many weak protagonists jump on this trend because that's the only way they can get attention (Jessica Livingston, Sheryl Sandberg and many more).

JSON is perfect as it is, leave it like it is.

> Android has some advantages over iOS and iOS have other over Android.

You do not have any iOS device but claim that iOS have advantages over Android? This sounds a bit weird but ok, try to find one single reason why iOS should be better. But you won't because it's easier for you to bail out from the discussion and go to the meta level by telling that this is a rant, bullshit and fanboyism instead of giving some valid reasons (but how? you do not have an iOS device anyway).

Again, this is not a rant, this is reality, it's just that in the last two years Android developed much faster than iOS did, in every regard. And it seems that it's not allowed to address iOS' fall.

It's socially acceptable to outline Windows weaknesses since decades and if this happens with Apple or iOS it's fanboyism?

iOS feels very similar to Windows in its worst days, even worse because Windows was much more open.

So, again the question: tell us why is this fanboyism, why do you think it's not appropriate to compare two operating systems? Because of your fear that your favorite will loose? Why should we not talk about the 18% share and the decline of Apple and iOS happening for years?

I strongly disagree with you. How many Android apps did you develop? Do you know the newer Android tool chains?

Just the non-resolution-independent framework on iOS is a big pain and iOS biggest bottleneck and this is where Apple struggles right now (to make the next bigger iPhones happen).

But your post shows very well again the general attitude of iOS folks and it's your pure fear which speaks out load -- your fear that your dev experience and skills in iOS will be less worth very soon and you have to start at zero again, on Android.

Edited: btw downvoting != disagreeing

This guy complains about npm's scalability and architecture but is himself not able to structure a single blog post to make it readable.

The 'ours' filter (I guess it's the one from MS) is mind-blowing.

Another product without any problem being solved.

V8 is in many regards better (especially memory footprint and ramp-up time) or on par.

> clear access to Java directly in your Javascript.

Who needs this when having access to 50K nom packages?

Nice to see some innovate architecture for an editor but this product launch reminds me to product launches from Apple or Google: it doesn't matter what product or feature is shown, there is always tons of premature praise.

If an unknown third party came up with Atom it would have never gotten that attention.

ST3 is a very good product viewed from any angle and VIM either—it will be hard to beat these reference products. I love Node/npm and again the stack sounds great but I don't know if this stack will be much easier to extend than something like ST3 or VIM.

What I have seen from a product perspective on the Atom landing page does not blow me away, not at all. And it is wether free nor open source.

But it's from Github and that's reason enough to vote it up.

It is always easy to complain but you never know how all this evolved. Maybe the founder had hard times to find the first developer. Maybe the first developer could not do it better. Maybe this setup only attracted weaker developers and suddenly this mess was set in stone. Maybe the business model doesn't provide enough margin to justify a rewrite of large parts of the legacy code and so on.

And I could also easy complain about you: why did you choose this aged stack for your first programming job in 2014? This stack is still very popular and nothing bad but yeah, there must be some reasons why you chose this stack which I don't know.

But I won't complain.
