Oh I hear you there. I wholeheartedly agree.

Sure. I don't really care, myself. Besides, it's just how Microsoft is deciding they want their service to work by default. It's hardly even a shift. I don't understand all the huff. The branch names were designed to be

Yes, no change locally. This is the company deciding how they want repos started on their service to operate by default. That's it. I'm surprised it's drawing so much ire.

It seemed natural to me, but I came from a place where "master recording" was the reference record. But it does make zero difference what the name is, as long as it's descriptive.

It's not the only database like that. It's meant to be exclusively accessed in situations like a person being admitted to the ER when unconscious. There is similarly an HIV database for the same reason. Fluid transmissions happen

Canada likewise uses an anonymized app for this purpose. It's open source, as well. Mobile App: https://github.com/cds-snc/covid-alert-app Server: https://github.com/cds-snc/covid-alert-server

Did their usability suffer? I always remembered Braun as being simple and intuitive growing up. Like you almost knew how to use whatever it was immediately without inspection.

That's not a good analogue for a cartridge, though. The cartridge or the device itself stored data locally. Modern gaming consoles store their data on HDD's. Anything beyond that is entirely developer's prerogative. And accor

I can use that screwdriver to try and hammer in a nail, sure. It probably won't work well and I'll likely break the screwdriver or the nail or the other purpose they're both serving. That's not the fault of the company t

That's what I do. It'll sync with my phone locally over bluetooth once I'm back in range, but that's it.

How's that? I choose apps that store my data locally rather than their servers if I even do download apps. I was discussing the storage and distribution infrastructure.

Is there? I bought a closed-platform device by choice. I don't buy a Phillips screwdriver expecting it to work on a Robertson head because I think it should fit every case.

I remember that. The last cohort of grade 13/OAC was when I entered high school. It definitely would be helpful, rather than racing kids into post-secondary. I ended up taking a year to work, myself, and saved some money, and spent a l

The most valuable things are not always the most popular. I wouldn't conflate the two.

That's strange. I have an LG (a couple of years old I think?) and it defaults to whichever input it was on previously. So if I turn it off while on HDMI 3, it turns on to HDMI 3. If I turn off to antenna, it turns on to antenna. Only i

You can, if you wipe the content-specific platform.

Probably a more accurate analog to the cartridge would be the storage and distribution services. That takes some infrastructure in networking and storage.

Here in Canada mine did. They were optional courses inside of requisite streams, however. [In the Ontario public school system, specifically] we were required a Civics-classified course in our upper years which resulted in me taking Canadia

They also get a lot more physical exercise throughout the day on average, reducing the risk of many heart conditions, etc. That might balance that out.

Which is the nature of the compiler. It maintains the promise that what you're writing is still JavaScript—in that you could just strip all the type annotations and have valid JS. But I would love runtime checks for types. Even if th

This take is as reasonable as any other. A musician wants to make more money and Spotify fails to pay according to that desire and the comment is rejected? A developer (or megacorp) wants to make more money and Apple fails to pay according

I bought an Apple phone specifically because it's not open. I think we should be allowed to have that as much as we're allowed to make a completely open and modular device. I like having the choice to have a locked down, simplisti

And if there were no App Store at all would Apple have been obligated to allow one? Or any third party software? That seems to be the argument being made. Frankly, if it's between opening up iOS to all software or no third-party soft

The logical conclusion then is that the only device that should be allowed to be manufactured is a personal computer. Companies producing specialized hardware/software couplings does not preclude another company developing open options

Unfortunately, it and Poppler, and Imagemagick, etc were all off the table. I was confined to running everything within a Node instance. Couldn't make calls out to command line tools. I tried probably 20 ways of using Poppler-based lib
