Google still distributes AOSP. The Android ecosystem is quite diverse and healthy. They've done a great job IMO I wouldn't trust Apple with anything open source, but Apple's not trying to look like an open-source-friendly com

Yeah Instagram's algorithm is garbage. I get repetitive generic content no matter what. It doesn't seem responsive at all.

Last time I used it, Cabal was a giant mess and a lot of the packages on Hackage didn't work. I like the idea of Unison. Would be good to see a normal language using hashed functions to avoid recompilation.

Write more. Find an outlet that makes it worthwhile and just write (e.g. a 1000-word essay on a pet topic). It can be rough getting started, but it forcibly makes you do research and admit what you don't know. That will develop your mi

run_cmd uses macros so you can just type shell commands directly, but it does make empty strings disappear (""). I'd rather not split up arguments, but to each their own. Either way, it's great to do some shell things to

I use rust-script + run_cmd (for external commands). Rust-script recompiles the script when it has been changed, otherwise it just runs it.

So you were looking for a top-down approach and you got a bottom-up approach. I guess those biologists have enough intrinsic motivation not to care about such things.

Sugar is unnecessary but it does help the yeast so you won't need to use as much, but when there's enough sugar for bread to taste sweet you might as well eat cake.

In this day and age, an apology is purely an admission of guilt. Everything you do and say will be used against you in a court of public opinion. It is better to say nothing at all and let the 15 minutes of shame pass without stoking the fl
