Just finished Scalzi's Redshirts. Was a lot of fun. Laughed at every mention of control panels blowing up in bridge crew's faces for no logical reason. Didn't much care about the last few chapters that came after the main story though.
? Who said anything about excluding anything or anyone? I'm just saying I don't like the work that has to go into making sure nobody's excluded. In a way, I'm not excluding anyone by excluding everyone now. I quit frontend altogether, left other people to deal with it. At the backend I don't have to worry about what kind of screen the other end might be using to view the JSON string I sent them. You don't get "I just looked at your response headers on my 32:9 monitor that I divided into 9 randomly sized tiles and it looks like shit, please fix" calls when you work backend.
I stopped doing frontend work when responsive design became important. Super unpleasant work. Now I'm happier at the backend where I don't have to worry about how my shit looks on the 7 million possible screen sizes people are likely to use. Life is more peaceful here.
Eeeh. Apple's App Store fees can be a bit much, but all told the company doesn't have enough power on any market to warrant such a huge intervention I think. Just forcing them to make their ecosystem more open would be enough. Like how the EU wants to force them to allow 3rd party package managers on iOS.
Many Linux package managers themselves tell you you should reboot your system after updates, especially if the update has touched system packages. You can definitely run into problems that will leave you scratching your head if you don't.
Lmao yoavweiss seems to have recently broken the 4 year hiatus on his personal blog to make a new post about how the discussions around this retarded proposal are not constructive enough.
The most constructive that can ever be said about this is "fuck right off" dude.
Lmao they understood a clear reference to a certain very high profile news item that you have to spend conscious effort to avoid these days. SMH my head at the absolute nerds.
People don't like it because it has nothing to do with the source material beyond some character names. It's literally a random action script that had Asimov slapped on top of it just so the studio could legally claim to be using their movie rights. No relation to the book. Nothing at all like anything the original author himself would have ever written, to the point of being disrespectful to one of the greatest of the genre.
Yo same. It's pretty great. Hated the process of installing it though. Having to wait like two weeks before you are allowed to use that shady as shit proprietary windows-only program with terrible localization and idiotic error messages was... rough. Well worth it because the stock OS was a buggy, intrusive piece of shit. The logs of my pi-hole were full of blocked DNS requests made by my phone during those 2 weeks.
I really don't miss the days when we paid more money for a significantly more inconvenient way of listening to SIGNIFICANTLY less diverse music on much shittier devices.
Follow-up question: how do I unbookmark things? I don't see the button anywhere on Android. I can see the green bookmark icon when I swipe the post like halfway across the screen, but that doesn't seem to remove its bookmark.
But you can put up a firmware barrier that keeps the phone from booting up, or at least from operating at full advertised capacity, unless it's an "authentic" battery that's been officially registered to that particular phone's serial number, which can only be done via special tools and software that are only available to official Apple repair shops. They've done it with cameras and screens and buttons, why not batteries? It's just another part.
Coding and programming is about writing the code. You get on a computer and type away.
Writing code is just one part of a bigger whole. It takes more than writing code to make software. Someone needs to think about the architecture, infrastructure, planning, management, maintenance, deployment, r&d... That's software engineering. It's a much broader concept than just editing text files.
In my company we have a very modern agile workflow where QA is top priority.
At least that what we advertise. In reality it's all an unorganized clusterfuck where I'm pretty sure I am the only one who bothers to write automated tests. Who's got time to write tests bro just push that shit out ASAP we'll deal with it when the client calls us in the middle of the night to complain about previously-working shit being broken now.
That assumes reddit doesn't version their data, which they probably do. In that case they could revert that too without even having to go through the trouble of restoring the data from backup, which they probably keep as well.
TL;DR you're not gonna manage to make reddit lose your data. They can get it back if they care enough and if it's hosted within their domain.
