While what you're saying sounds nice, your theory has nothing to do with practice. In reality, the ultimate source of this problem is the mismatch in speed between silicon logic and silicon memory. This is why your CPU…
This feels like a lot of work being taken for granted. That is why support services exist. You pay a fee and the developer agrees to fix things for you. Open-source doesn't have to be for free.

I'm still young and naive :P
I'm part of the community. I have seen alot of work being put into making hidpi work properly. I can't find any changelog mentions though :( Here's a community post:…
Obviously, it won't. But it would at least free up some manpower.
Well, not all people have the expertise or willingness (in case of volunteers) to work on this. Switching to Rust would allow them to leverage somebody else's work. Also, GObject itself made a lot of sense in an era…
Yeah. See my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12854983
No, I'm talking about gdb support, for example. I'm talking for a testing framework (right now you have to write your own build process capable of bundling the unit tests with your source).
Slack is electron done right - it even has a background process which delivers notifications. But they generally integrate really badly into the UI.
The contributions actually increased. Which is why they kept it.
I think one needs to also highlight the differences. mac OS is built by one major player and they have a clear direction of where they want to take this. Linux, in general, is built by communities of people who may or…
So they should disable writing "0" in the input box and require that you enter "nothing"?
Really? :P
Good luck porting the mac libraries to Linux [1] :P [1] https://www.darlinghq.org/project-status/
The elementary community would love feedback on how to solve pains with mac. There's a subreddit or you could post bug reports on launchpad.
I agree with the article. Vala is a wonderful language, but it doesn't have the necessary tooling built around it.
elementary should automatically handle your hidpi quite well.

You have valgrind and many other tools instead of "Instruments". The GNOME project itself [1] has a lot of projects which compete with what you linked. Sure, Apple has a few billion dollars to dump into development…
It does seem nicer to ask after, but then again, 99% of us simply close the tab after the download starts. We just do it automatically.

Well Geary (and the elementary fork Pantheon Mail) are quite good for basic use. There are still a few bugs and their codebases are quite hell to work with (see [1] for my review of them). This document motivates my…
Not much. Both System76 and Dell's Sputnik spend quite a bit of time getting good support for their laptops under Linux. I personally think XPS has a much better design for a laptop.
It's been linked many times around here: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/41713.html I'm still seeing powersaving issues even on Haswell. I believe basic support for Skylake only shipped in Ubuntu LTS only recently, too.
