Why is everyone in this thread so into the concept of remote development, especially when it comes to the likes of Microsoft and Facebook leading the charge? Both companies harvest massive amounts of data about their users and have a proven track record of privacy violations.

What happens if this becomes the norm and IDEs are only in the cloud? Do these corporations decide who gets to code on their platforms and gain the ability to peep into the technical secrets of every competitor?

I will never support this.

I'm currently experiencing issues with trying to use an nVIDIA eGPU as apparently only AMD cards are supported officially. Display port chaining also fails to work as it only mirrors displays.

I wrote a game of life screensaver for Windows years ago using the optimizations recommended by this book in C# if anyone is interested. https://github.com/masterwok/Game-of-Life-Screensaver

masterwok | 7 years ago | on: Show HN: Bit Cast, a free Android torrent client

Bit Cast is a torrent client and media player that aims to provide a simple interface for downloading, playing, and casting torrents. It will download the pieces of the largest file in the torrent sequentially in an attempt to stream the torrent before it finishes downloading. It supports simultaneous downloads, playing locally, casting to Chromecast devices, and a configurable browser shortcut to your favorite torrent indexer.

The two main libraries (simple-vlc-player and simple-torrent-android) that power Bit Cast are also available on my GitHub: https://github.com/masterwok

I would love to get some feedback :]!
