  • Also sideloading has been around as a term for a long as smartphones have existed

    What? Where did you get that from?

    If you take the iPhone as the first smartphone, those weren't even supposed to have natively installed apps by third parties but just use websites for everything. You could install third party apps before that on symbian. You could always install apps on android. So no, the term neither has been around as long as smartphones nor is it ubiquitous.

    "Sideloading" is only relevant to Apple devices as no other platform is as locked down as ios, so the word isn't even used outside that context. For other devices, you simply "install" applications. That's it.

  • I really don't get the article. It's not the compiler's purpose to prevent logic errors nor does it do that properly. Trying to overcomplicate your types to the degree where they prevent a few of them at the cost of making your code less flexible concerning potential future issues doesn't sound like a good idea either.

    What's wrong with tests? Just write tests to see if your code does what it's expected to do and leave the compiler for what it's made for.

  • That's just a dumb take... Europe took up over for million refugees from Ukraine. Because it's the neighbouring countries that should help first and foremost. Kind of like what Egypt could do now... But instead they're crying that the EU half a continent away should take care of it.

  • Since the war in Ukraine started, the EU accepted more than four million refugees from Ukraine. Because that's what you do as the next countries.

    You know what the EU didn't do? Shit on Egypt for not taking refugees from Ukraine. Because that would have been stupid, right? Right?
