That's interesting. Apparently I'm dreaming that I'm developing with C# on my macOS and deploying to Linux?

Do you not understand what 0 mph is or why do you use scummy clickbait titles?

Seriously? I'm 90% sure this will NOT reach Lambo times in Nordschleife. And as a sports car, it will 100% not be fun to drive, weight is everything in a quick small car for fun.

Regarding gaming - Linux went backwards now that new gadgets like VR headsets and high refresh synced monitors are required for serious gaming. Feels like 2002 all over again without any games.

That's not even a hipster thing, it's quite mainstream with gaming keyboards...

No wonder Android people do not understand why people pay good money for very locked down iPhone, to them crappy implementation for hardware and software is good enough.

I'm pretty sure that's not how server push works. Client requests A, then server pushes B and C with A. Server just cannot push something to God knows where.

Well title should be "Websiter generator No. 3487", so we wouldn't need to write such comments.

I loved my Lumia 920, and if only there were apps, I would not be using iPhone right now. Major things I've missed that were available on android/iOS:

banking app - some other banks had an app for WP, but I didn't want to switch banks

public transit route planner - there were some, iOS and android had THE app for my city with really good bus arrival estimates

official public transit app - I couldn't buy tickets from my phone

official city parking app - had to go to parking teller and pay there in friggin cash, now I just set the zone and am done with it

even the most popular taxi app was not available

Hearthstone - I like this rng card game

> it almost immediately hits the Pacman repos.

I tried Arch and it's not the case, my examples:

PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/release-9-6-2.htm... 9.6.2 released 2017-02-09, in Arch repos - https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/log/trunk?h=... - almost a MONTH later. 9.6 released 2016-09-29, in Arch repos - 2016-10-29 (version 9.6.1, they skipped 9.6) - again, a MONTH later.

Had issues with outdated Node.js and some other package I can't recall.

To be honest, up to date packages for me were only available with brew in macOS.

So I pressed CTRL + F and typed in "debug" - zero results found. It seems like this is still a glorified text editor and not IDE-ish editor like Visual Studio Code.
