Right. It’s different in that it lacks Google Framework Service, and adds a bunch of privacy controls, like additional quick toggles to control the cameras, and microphone, the way other Android can quick toggle the flashlight and location servcies and bluetooth.
The biggest thing is substantially more granular per app permissions, controlled from a calentral interface in settings.
Return the internet to the pre-“smart” phone era, in which a minimum bar of effort and knowledge needed to be present in order to connect and participate on the web.
Yeah. I think that’s happening now. The public will discover the Fediverse, but I’m not sure if they’ll be welcomed into every community here.
History tells us there’s also a release valve of a swift brick to the side of the head, one brick per billionaire.
It sounds messier than paying taxes, to me. But I’m not a billionaire, so I can’t say I understand their motives.
Perl is the only language that looks just as incomprehensible before and aa rot13 transformation.
Lol. You’re not wrong.
I’m kinda jealous. I don’t miss maintaining production Perl code, but Perl was more fun to code in.
Lisp is the more logical choice.
Relevant XKCD. Python has replaced Perl, but things have otherwise changed quite little.
The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn’t.
Or, considering that they’re mostly introverts, if they look approvingly in the general direction of your shoes…
Yeah. An elephant won’t stay crisp in the egg compartment.
This is particularly interesting, since modern organizational theory tells us that Boeing’s primary customers would be much better off with a shift in power toward Boeing’s workers, away from it’s current leadership.
Purchasers of huge airplanes cannot afford to purchase airplanes built under leadership that cuts corners the way Boeing’s leadership lately has.
The striking workers may have an unusual ally here - in Boeing’s customer base, which notably includes the US Government and parts of it’s Armed Forces.
I think they forgot to pay themselves to use their product.
You are supposed to be tracking when they expire and then renew/replace them before they expire.
I’ve been told that, as well, but I’m not sure I see it… Seems like a lot of effort… (This is sarcasm. Or is it just too much honesty?)
Thank you for this. This is awesome.
shittingTurtle and victimTurtle are going into one of my professional slide decks as soon as I think I can get away with it.
All great code started out as a shitty work-around that happened to work.
(I say this as someone with one of the more prestigious pedigrees in “not writing shit code”. All the theory I’ve learned helps, but at the end of the day the most important qualities of a line of code are: whether it got the job done, and whether is was obviously correct enough that the next developer left it alone.)
At this point I think there is no software dev topic that is somehow not devisive.
Now I want to try something:
“Boolean variables don’t suck.”
Wow. “peak shareholder value” is what I shall now call “multiple inheritance”, from now on.
Thanks. I hate it.
I consider myself a collector of programming anti-patterns, but I didn’t have this one yet.
Tell me about “Why do you think you wanted to run ELIXA on a Times/Sinclair 2968?”.
Oof. Even investors (who aren’t billionaires) are getting shafted by the current deal.
Stock performance has been utter shit, because the SEC (and equivalents) aren’t blocking illegal company mergers and acquisitions.
Oh shit! So is mine!
