gmosx··on Atari Launches Atari 2600+
It's a pity it's USA only.
gmosx··on Atari Launches Atari 2600+
That would be truly fantastic!
gmosx··on A new incarnation of the best 8-bit computer from Atari in 1983
Is this for real?
gmosx··on Why isn't there a Linux laptop to directly compete with OS X/Apple?
This looks pretty nice to me:

gmosx··on Microsoft is Dead (2007)
It's difficult to make predictions, especially about the future...
gmosx··on Ask HN: Is Atom now dead in the water?
I switched to VSCode, it's as good as Atom.
gmosx··on Atari VCS
Take my money!

Seriously though, I was disappointed. I was expecting more concrete news at GDC. I hope they will ship this year.

gmosx··on IBM Type
Fantastic font and great page!
gmosx··on Swift for Data Science / ML / Big Data Analytics
This is interesting but I would prefer to see some native Swift libraries for Data Science.
gmosx··on Cool alternative to Material Design
A design system from IBM. They should consider merging it with 'IBM Design Language' (https://www.ibm.com/design/language/) though.
gmosx··on Welcome Chris Lattner
It's quite interesting that there is no public comment from any other member of the Swift Core Team.
gmosx··on Update on the Swift Project Lead
I didn't see that coming, very disappointing news. Definitely a loss for Apple and Swift. I really hope he will somehow stay involved with the project.
gmosx··on Dart: A Simple, Elegant Language Programmers Will Love
Dart is not just an elegant language, more like a complete programming environment.
gmosx··on Dart 1.6 released, support for deferred loading
Another great release, congrats to the team!
gmosx··on Codius: A system for running smart contracts
Interesting idea. Ripple Labs seems to be churning out a lot of interesting stuff lately.
gmosx··on Introducing Typesafe Console
Looks fantastic and really compliments the amazing Typesafe Stack. Great job!
gmosx··on Scala IDE 2.0 Released
Congratulations to everyone involved...
gmosx··on Google dictionary is no longer available
wtf, used this quite often, it was a great service!
gmosx··on Java 7 is now available
A great release (professionally handled by Oracle), but still I am waiting for Java 8 (esp. closures + modules)
gmosx··on AppEngine 1.5.1 Release
Kind of underwhelming in my book. Where is SQL support (promised over a year ago in Google I/O 2010) and what about Java-Python feature parity?
gmosx··on Google Translate API is now deprecated.
Recent developments in the 'Google Platform' front (new App Engine price structure, API shutdowns, crippled Google Apps Standard offering, etc) severely dented my belief on a "full cloud" future. Perhaps we shouldn't outsource (== depend) too much to cloud vendors.
gmosx··on Ask HN: Should we rename our startup?
I like sfalma, google was/is difficult to spell too...
gmosx··on Boot a linux kernel right inside your browser.
Didn't know about this guy! Unbelievable track record of consistently releasing groundbreaking software. Oh, and the x86 js emulator is cool too! made my day!
gmosx··on New Chrome extension: block sites from Google’s web search results
still the sites mentioned above are arguably of lower quality than google groups, there is no reason to rank higher...
gmosx··on New Chrome extension: block sites from Google’s web search results
posts to google groups show up in devcomments.com, osdir.com, mail-archive.com, etc ranked higher than the original post in google groups.
gmosx··on Ask HN: Any web startups using Java?
I used Java until 2002, then used Ruby until 2009, then switched to Javascript (server side). 3 months ago I decided to switch back to Java and I really feel I lost a decade with experiments.

It turns out, I am really a static-typing ...type after all.

With utilities like Spring Roo, frameworks like Jersey (JAX-RS), IDEs like Eclipse and platforms like GAE, Java can be really productive.

gmosx··on Google App Engine is now much faster, after latest maintenance
that 's great :) hopefully, now they can work on improving support for JDO/JPA and release those great features announced in Google I/O.
gmosx··on Motorola Snaps Up 280 North (YC 08) For $20 Million
Motorola snapped a word-class team
gmosx··on App Engine: Multi-tenancy, High Performance Image Serving, Increased Quotas
Multitenancy is a killer feature, very useful for Google Apps Marketplace offerings. App Engine is slowly transforming to a true 'general-purpose' platform.
gmosx··on Closure: The world's most misunderstood JavaScript library
This is no review, it's a post about Google Closure, a great library that I think deserves more exposure.
