Why is the major version still zero?

AFAIK React is used in production, and I can not find any alpha/beta labelling on their website either?

They are about to jump from 0.14.7 to 15.0.0 for that reason.

Uh, Pure is not news? Already have a few years on its back, and development seems stalled.

I always use 80 character limit as long lines makes it hard to for me follow the flow, and it's not unusual to lose track of which line I was on when going to the next line.

Sure there are huge monitors with insane dpi allowing a ridiculous amount of text, but I'm not getting younger and find myself increasing font size every now and then to be able to read.

Getting old sucks sometimes.

Many people seem to be upset with Oracle, but I think they should be upset with the vendors who ship applications/libraries that depend on the "sun.*" packages.

Oracle (then Sun) have since _1998_ strongly discouraged the use of them: https://web.archive.org/web/19980215011039/http://java.sun.c...

Fine, but why isn't the argument: "This then needs to be standardised in a Java.* package and correctly documented."

Unsafe is useful, and is evident by how popular it is. Heck even Sun/Oracle must agree because they created it for their own internal usage. So why not just go ahead and standardise it.

Can't speak for anyone else but I use Mercurial because it's fast, user friendly and easy to extend with your own plugins.

Due to reasons I had to install WinXP on my Core i7 a few weeks ago and was astonished how snappy it was compared to Win7.

Well, the idea behind F-Droid is "free-of-charge, free and open-source software". If the software doesn't live up to that, I feel their are in their right to remove it.

And honestly if you want the full featured software and don't care about ideals, just download it from Play.

Well, some things at Mozilla seem a bit odd.

A few weeks ago Nightly ended up having "Pocket" integrated, and rumour said it would replace Mozilla's own open source Sync plus the integrated Reader.

Addons will soon no longer be able to be installed unless approved by Mozilla. (Another walled garden. Sigh...)

>Addons will soon no longer be able to be installed unless approved by Mozilla.

Bullshit. The add-on signing requirement will be able to be easily disabled. It's just as much of a "walled garden" as Debian's repos are (ie. nothing like a walled garden).

This is very good, I hate having to constantly remove malware plugins off friends'/family stuff, hijacking new tab, hijacking search providers...

So, pay apple and use the one browser. You already have that offering.

In my experience this is not restricted to manufacturers. Routers supplied by ISP's and carriers often have custom firmwares with have backdoors as well, of course labelled as a "Maintenance & Remote Service" feature. After figuring out the password on mine, I had no issue going into my neighbours router with full access...
