I am disappointed by this article. It made such a big deal about PG hating to work with Windows, and reduced the innovation of web applications to a way to not work in Windows.

Really?

Clearly the whole point was to get away from developing desktop applications, and realizing the single-source, rapid development nature of web apps.

Please don't tell me that developing client apps on Windows was so much worse then doing it on Linux. Its bullshit. Overfocusing on this aspect of the story feels like platform fanboyism, misses the real point, and just overall kind of cheapens PG's stellar image.

I love when people talk about a great developer ecosystem in their city of choice. It just rubs it in for how weak it is in Philadelphia.

Misleading title. Should be called "SAP stops development of crappy product, as it should have a long time ago"

Is that just hardcoded into the preprocessor itself? Or is part of ANSI C. Wondering if the MS C++ compiler will do this well.

Are those options for wait2 in common use, causing auto-elevation for many programs? It seems too easily accessed to be an NSA backdoor.

They are still down today.
