I know it's not Apple itself but their (biggest ?) supplier, but isn't that the 'Apple DNA' to don't give a f* for their employees? Anyone here with experience working in multiple big tech companies (including Apple) to compare ?

Why is .net core not taking the world by storm ? Because most 'real .net devs' still work on .NET 4.x legacy windows apps.

Not becoming a dick while getting rich is hard. Wasn't that Jesus statement 21 centuries ago ?

For me even better idea would be to create coffe&chat type of Cafe. When real people can talk with other real people, though via robotic interface (contrary to human controlled robotic waiters which can be replaced with AI controlled robotic waiters at some point).

The only thing that keeps me with OSX instead of Linux on laptop is awesome touchpad in MacBook. Wandering if there are any ThinksPads/System76's with comparable touchpad quality ?

even on Xorg multiple screen is broken (can't select single screen) on Linux

How is that different to flutter.io (beside using GO) ?

ads money will feed engineers - good news

Windows works ok as virtual box/vmware guest as well. I spent few years as .net Dev this way and was more than happy with this solution. You need beefy machine though.

Not using windows as primary OS limits risk related to viruses, malware. Also moving to new hardware is just copy vm files (windows provision for Dev used to take a lot of time)

WSL is waste of time if you work with docker - Linux desktop experience (not laptop) is just good enough these days (and future seems even brighter since Ubuntu goes back to Gnome)

I love Sublime because it's rare example of quality linux app.

Once I worked for roof window re-seller. They claimed that their competitor Fakro (fakro.com) is as good as Velux but has better quality/price balance.

My current view is that best what average fullstack dev can do is still to buy beefy desktop with linux/nvidia + windows on virtualbox/vmware (for Windows stuff). Additional cheap Chromebook is nice but eg. IntelliJ is to heavy for it.

Windows servers are legacy - even SQL Server is on Linux now...ok jokes aside - might be PR move to not make nervous their old-school corporate customers

It's hard to make things easy on Windows - it's law of nature.

I just don't care anymore - I keep windows on VM it's way easier (eg. WSL doesn't support docker). I don't use any other Windows app except: VS (from time to time) and Word. VirtualBox is more than enough for this (my host linux desktop is beefy machine though)

Huh ? Compared to JS - Dart seems like a heaven. Don't known Elm - but looking on syntax it seems it's not so easy to pick up as for someone with Java/C# background. It's true Dart is not another fancy lang - it's very pragmatic.

TS has nice features to avoid js bombs but all JS 'bad code' is legit by definition (JS superset). TS is super nice compared to JS but it is NOT excellent Lang.

So this is official reason why it was not considered ?

Well can't say if any of those are major - but here is a list https://www.dartlang.org/community/who-uses-dart

Wondering why Dart was not considered. Large apps are written in it (Ad sense UI, Ad Words UI, Google CRM). Has good tooling (IntelliJ plugin, Webstorm). It's fairly easy to pick up - Java/C# like syntax. It's harder to shot yourself on your own foot (it's not JS superset). It has strong mode. It has superb tooling and package manager ( dartanalyzer, pub)

No it's not. It has all JS flaws - it's just better than js and it's easy to use it with js. Otherwise Dart would win.

AdWords, AdSense and internal Google CRM are written in Dart - namely AngularDart:

https://webdev.dartlang.org/angular according to: http://news.dartlang.org/2017/06/a-stronger-dart-for-everyon...

Which is precisely why I don't like Typescript - still easy to shot own foot hardly

Dart with dynamic js compiler (DDC) is getting better too: http://news.dartlang.org/2017/06/a-stronger-dart-for-everyon...

Is free Outlook account scanning me email or for building ads profile or for any other purpose ?

Dart is Java/C# like - you will be fluent in one day

Whenever I see Gruber talking about openess and standards I smell hipocrysy - same way we can say iOS ecosystem is an attack on open computing (walled garden).

In general I do agree that it's hard to have good laptop/linux developer experience. Chromebooks are usually not very strong machines however I've seen people working this way on Pixels.

Heard lot of good about using better laptop with this https://www.neverware.com/ - still it's unclear how reliable it's

Got it - still I've had to use laptop - I would go with one of Chromebooks with Crouton or System76 laptops
