I think the Hangouts development team is dead or something.

There are plenty alternatives to XCode. AppCode is one high quality one. Setting up your own custom llvm toolchain is also an option.

Ah, I was referring to the "Tunables" tab.

See comment above (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11038588). Visa invested in Stripe.

Unity 8 is the reason why I bought a touch screen laptop 2 years ago, but it's just not production ready... Sported elementary OS from the SSD for a while, and o boy was it fast... I gave up on it and I've been using Windows 10 just because it works really well with the touch screen, but it's slow and annoying for any meaningful development work. Hopefully, Unity 8 is gonna be released soon.

That's kinda ironic, cosnidering Firefox OS was a pos.

Would powertop be able to help?

Surely you can cross compile or even compile on the target (albeit really really slowly).

So which part of replacing the Firefox brand with Iceweasel is coherent branding?

This article is a few days old... It's not a surprise anymore, and even 5 days ago it wasn't a surprise, but expected.

I believe Ubuntu click packages have been developed exactly for this purpose. That isn't to say alternatives aren't good, but maybe you can draw inspiration.

Been sporting it for a while. I wasn't sure if it was official, but nice execution!

Tell you what, hard engineering problems are never not a hit. But nobody cares, because they require so much money and so much hard work... Same with bio-engineering, and whatnot.

No, let's just make yet another app which brings insignificant incremental deveopment to calendar viewing apps.

Be serious.

Seriously, most tech startups are not bringing a bump in productivity, but are a mere pixel moving money waste for VCs, who don't really care if about the 9 failures if 1 startup pays off massively. The problem is that VC's don't even care about profitability anymore, they only care about being bought-off by next stage VCs. So all the money actually comes from 1 ad supported startup which became profitable and the losses for all the others were written off.

Earth is not Japan yet. We still have China and India...

It still shocks me that Europe hasn't yet built a response to SF. Sure, London's a tech hub, but not anywhere close to SF.

Eastern europe has a lot of talented engineers, but lacks capital and know-how on building an international business, places are cheap to live in and so on.

I own a Nokia 515 and haven't been happier with any other phone. Maybe there should be more competition in the high-end basic phones area. I'm willing to pay a higher price (higher profit margin for the manufacturer) for a higher build quality.

Get real

Welcome to europe. Been waiting for you for a long time guys.

We are going to give this a second thought.

I'm not sure what your point is.

I consider XML proved itself as a reliable data layer. JSON is not considered because it does not even supports attributes and extensibility.

I would really appreciate if you would consider contributing some nice ideas. Come over to the mailing list :P

No. XML is clear and precise. It supports namespace extensibility.

It also provides a very big ecosystem that AXR actually use.

We are still thinking on this. Last time we talked about actually forking chromium, to prove it's do-able.

Wouldn't lots of vulnerabilities suddenly open? Back to the VBScript era paranoid?

Opera Mini is wrong in so many ways! And few people know about this proxying.

It's not about webkit, as we're planning to actually replace webkit.

I think this kind of action coming from somewone like microsoft would be seen as another proprietary software imposed to the web.

We have not tried yet, as we did not have anything relevant to work with. We really have no idea how we can do that. Maybe you can help?

This seems a pretty interesting idea indeed.

I think NaCl is too low-level for this matter.

Well, the XML is just the template AXR uses to generate it's object model. Everything that happens after there is not upto XML anymore. It is all about HSS goodness.

Haven't heard the news. I guess they recieved a lot of bad feedback on that.
