Or, you know, you slammed the the bit you held into the body of the phone with a satisfying “pling”.

Now get off my lawn.

The only reason you get that title, on either count, is that we decided to brexit.

(Using the word “decided” in the widest possible sense)

I just bought it the other day and went in blind with a friend. My god is it an insane game.

My friend isn’t even an engineer and he was talking about refactoring.

I’ll make an engineer out of him yet, you’ll see.

That’s what they always say, but no one considers the starting conditions.

Imagine you’re fighting a dead fat guy. Sounds easy, right? 300kg of dead weight just waiting for you to bury your fists in it.

But now imagine the fat guy starts next to you, standing. Can you stop 300kg of dead flabby dude from burying you? Didn’t think so. You’re gonna die a gruesome suffocating death under some guy’s quadruple chin because you didn’t consider the implications.

Come on. Be better, people.

I thought you fed on sovereignty like the rest of us?

You’re missing out, bruvva

Wait, thats is very different from what I read back in the day. I know there was a point at, I dunno, android 5 where they started doing something different with java, but my impression was that android always ran a JVM of sorts. And frankly, given how it performs even on the highest-end devices, that was really easy to believe.

I guess I need to do some research now.

Interesting, I always thought it had to do with Android’s ungodly software stack which at some point involves, of all things, fucking java.

Jay-Zed as a joke is definitely something I’ve done.

They’re just following in the EU’s steps in a self-aggrandising move. Everyone knows apple won’t bother with splitting the iphone line and will go with USB-C soon.

Even my iPad keyboard (the folio from Apple) “only” cost like £180. Samsung’s going nuts.

Hi. Friendly reminder to keep personal activity out of work devices.

Until we meet again!

This, for me, it’s essentially as good as it gets in the current landscape.

Hi. I hold 3 degrees in engineering. 100% of what you said is wrong.

Latex is the norm in any engineering publication I’ve ever been involved with, be it as author, reviewer, or editor. The ones that do take word do so reluctantly and only in a way they can readily convert to latex later.

Judging a quality of a word based on how a paper looks is perfectly valid. I’m disinclined to trust research by people not willing to put in the minuscule effort of typesetting a paper. What else did they cut corners on?

Yeah it’s insane how much time I spent reading about ethics and shit, and then have “don’t be a dick” be one of main driving factors in my decision making.

You know what? It works just fine.

Even then, you have pretty much no way of knowing if there’s an iris. So it’s all fun and games until SLAM, all your atoms gets squished into metal.

I’d settle for hiding photos in albums from recents, as that would tell me what I need to organise and don’t.

Could even flip them horizontally for extra spiciness.

You meme it?

They called OP’s bluff. They should sue, but reddit knows they won’t.

What a little, ridiculous, narrow-minded view of the world.
