There's hope for the extinction of Electron based apps.

Funny I've never posted anything very interesting here in Hacker News, but a Tweet of mine made the frontpage.

I love Org mode but the fact that relies on emacs can push some people from using it.

I've been using lately [logseq](https://logseq.com/) and it's fantastic. Has the features I love from Org mode, plus what I like from Workflowy, stores the data in plain text in Markdown and supports cross references, images, and more.

I love it.

I love the idea that there's still an active community developing for old hardware. Specially on videogames since many times they apply modern design ideas in very old hardware.

As a dumb example I saw a platformer for the ZX spectrum not long ago, where the falling speed was not linear but accelerated, which may seem trivial now but back then was something really unusual and I didn't realized how big was the difference after watching it. Then you have stuff way more complex such as the RTS for the Commodore mentioned by the author.

About the quote. Bill Gates said once in an interview:

I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time.

I learned C# a while ago when started a project in the now defunct XNA. I loved how I felt like home when moving from Java bit with some really nice differences.

I thought that after open sourcing .Net the C# adoption outside the MS ecosystem would be wider by now, but I feel it's not the case. Or am I missing a trend I'm not aware of? (which is very likely too)

I'm going to give it a shot now, thanks for the suggestion

You are right, and in fact is vim-vixen what I'm using right now, I guess after trying so many alternatives after updating to FF57 I just got confused about what I finally had installed.

I used Waterfox long time ago, as a fast 64bit alternative to Firefox (although never noticed a significant speed difference). Now I think the only reason I'd still use it is because add-ons such as Vimperator, but I already switched to the less powerful Vim-fx.

I love the idea that projects such as this one or Pale Moon exist, but I find it hard for me to use them as a regular user, apart from sentimental reasons.

Delivery rates on AWS are not great in my experience, and there's no easy way to automate some kind of event triggering when a delivery has failed (ended up creating a lambda that reads the fail events from cloud watch). Plus, you have to specify a monthly spending limit that must be manually reviewed and enabled by Amazon, if you go over the limit, Amazon starts failing the SMS delivery, even when SNS responds with a successful status.

AWS is great, but the biggest advantage of Twilio and other SMS providers is that they are way easier and straightforward to integrate.
