Can't agree more... each version adds at least one very useful feature that I use regularly. They also put an incredible amount of effort towards performance. For example, the embedded terminal wasn't so good at the start, but efforts were made to get the rendering performance up to snuff. This of course helps Hyper, as they share the same library.
I have to agree with you, Bootstrap has been a boon for my productivity, especially prototyping. When you're looking to get a MVP off the ground ASAP, I can't think of a more useful CSS framework than Bootstrap.
I can not understate how much of my little West Virginia town has been destroyed by opioid addiction. There doesn't seem to be a perfect solution to fix the problem, but I hope this will shed some light on the situation and at least bring it to the forefront so hopefully real changes can be made to combat this
As a WV resident well aware of the drug problem (In the 'major' WV city I live next to, 28 people OD'd in one day recently), I'm wondering what this would look like if it DID in fact account for people that take none, myself included. I know of TONS of families around me that have been torn apart from opioid addiction. It is hard to describe the impact because to be an addict in this area especially, is to be stigmatized and essentially cast out from the society. I'm not sure if it's due to the prevalence of fire-and-brimstone religious folk in this area, but a lot of the folks around here would rather lose the drug addicts completely than rectify the problem and help them. The only input I can offer is that the current model of Rx drug abuse can't be sustained and is ruining lives while certain people/organizations are profiting greatly...
Just wanted to add the explosion in fentanyl and other synthetic heroin ODs in your community is also related. I'm not going to pretend the users are innocent, maybe they a teenagers who start off buying pills to get high -- point being that RX drugs are a very real and literal gateway drug to street narcotics, which are cheaper and far more dangerous.
I agree, it was never clearly divulged if the ~28 OD's were fentanyl-related (I assume the majority were), or for anything else - I can attest that the lion's share of people I have known to have opioid drug problems did start out with Rx abuse and progressed from there. As much as it pains me to say it, the culture around my area seems to perpetuate the idea that doctors generally do no wrong unless they botch a surgery, in which case, you sue.
I don't have a wealth of knowledge on the subject as I'm not really a javascript dev, but I do know that Javascript and unity work pretty well together using it as a scripting language. Where nodejs would fit into this, I'm not so sure, but hopefully someone else can chime in on their experience
If it's multiplayer, you could use Node along with something like socket.io to handle real time communication between players.
You could maybe, possibly, use WebRTC for peer-to-peer communication if you don't mind excluding anyone running Safari and IE. But with a game written in JS and running in the browser, it seems like it would be too easy for someone to modify the code and cheat without a server side component at least trying to verify that everyone is behaving.
Despite the uncertainties I have about .NET's future, I'm very excited for the possibilities this will open up if they would continue this pace and just listen to the community. I myself can't wait for the freedom to choose a linux or windows server to deploy on
I hope 'new Microsoft' continues to embrace open source and cross-platform - I'm very impressed and never would have imagined this direction a decade ago, either
They will, because ultimately their new OS for developers is Azure. They do push you towards that but it is actually a good cloud system. Microsoft has moved lock-in further up to the cloud (just like everyone else AWS, Google) and the tools are so nice once visual studio is truly cross platform (not just vs code -- though nice competition to sublime/atom/etc) then a tool lockin.
Personally, I think it's all thanks to Oracle. When Microsoft suddenly realised that they were no longer the most hated IT company in the world, the shock was too much for them, and they just stopped trying any more.

Seriously, I have, right now, just dropped out of Vim into VSCode to debug a C program, because the VSCode debugger is fantastic. Everything just... works. In fact, I'd drop Vim in a heartbeat in favour of VSCode if only the vim keybindings were better, but right now they're pretty terrible and my fingers get confused. (Mercurial integration would be nice too, but mostly I use hg from the command line so I don't mind.)
They are going in the right direction but i feel like they still have a long way to go before people in the Linux/OSX world start taking C# seriously and we see actual products.
Especially with all the hype around containers, C# is left in the cold. The deployment story would have to be as good on Linux for many to even consider production services
I've been able to use several of the onbuild base images with C# projects.. given they weren't anything huge, but it's been pretty cool. Should only get better.
