Kotlin became the language of Android, not because it was new, but because multiple company's studied it and devs were more productive in the language after a relatively short on ramping period, many cases a weekend to get familiar and

Maybe we should work on making one vote to be equal in the nation.

Why do we have to pretend that routes between Montana and South Dakota have to come up when discussing ways of improving rail usage in the US? We could treat routes between Chicago, Milwaukee, and Indianapolis like Germany. We could treat h

But that's a ridiculous example you're proposing in bad faith. I flag nearly all abbreviations in code reviews because code is meant to be read and the names of things should be clear.

Python feels like they are fixing the language the best they can by slowly and properly adding explicit types. Character count is not a valid argument when we have hard drives that are multiple terabytes and IDEs and LLMs that will gladly a

Why should anyone need an account from a private business to buy bonds, why do you think that people deserve to be punished for buying directly from the government, and why do you think this is common knowledge?

In Android development, Java is basically deprecated at this point and Scala never really worked well.

Is there any evidence that Comcast cares or needs to care about their reputation?

There's one party in the US that likes to show government is bad by getting elected and making it worse. Taxes especially are meant to be painful so that you're reminded everyday about them and dread filing.

It's so boring to read comments on here about how everything could be a text displaying webpage. Internet everywhere in your pocket is a waste for toilet reading. But it's also frustrating how the ecosystem of Google and Apple, ha

Have there been any good efforts into getting rid of the language or providing an alternative? My effort into switching and the biggest complaint I've read is that the idea behind NixOS and the ecosystem is genius but one of the bigges

The Pokemon games were revolutionary at the time but they have all been remade at this point. I'd recommend Heart Gold or Soul Silver, if you don't like those you'll never like Pokemon.

Even with nostalgia goggles on, PlayStation 1 and 2 easily had more good games than SNES and Gameboy Pocket. SNES has some absolute gems and a fairly deep library of legit good games, but most Gameboy games are barely better than most NES g

>Lastly what you shouldn't ever do is get one of those consumers NAS boxes. They are made with no concern for noise at all, and manufacturing cheapness constraints tend to make them literally pessimal at it. I had a QNAP I got rid o

They are basically sandwich equivalents. You need the correct rice but they are easy to make. Parents make them daily for their kid's lunches because they are so easy to make. But also like sandwiches an excellent one is difficult to m

I'm trying to imagine how it can actually take up time. There are so many tools for getting media, watching media, and organizing media that it is basically all automated away at this point. The Media Hoarder metadata thread this week

It feels like a situation where we just need laws to make it illegal to do a data grab like this and apps in country's without those laws should get the scrutiny. I think a random phone app WOULD do that because there are no repercussi

If you sell the car can the software locked features actually be transferred to the next owner? It seems exactly the kind of thing that would be disabled and require the new owner to purchase.

Has anybody used dope to mean drugs since the early 90s? Even then it could weirdly mean heroine or marijuana, which I'm guessing why it fell out of use.

Doctor might not be the best example. There are tons of Facebook groups out there treating all their diseases with crystals and a bit of WebMD. Had to sit an extra 20 minutes at the dentist just this week because some lady refused the XRay

Information that you can and it doesn't interfere would be useful information. Having an alternative to Tautili and/or getting more information on my media sounds nice. But I have the media so I can watch it, and if it interferes

XCode is awful but JetBrains makes the best IDEs. There are people that dislike all IDEs which I disagree with but understand. VSCode isn't bad but disliking Android Studio just feels like you started with it and didn't want to le

As a parent, school shootings are the real serious issue and one the kids actually care about as well. Phones should be banned like Pokemon cards were banned. Bringing them to school is fine, using after class and even lunch is fine, but ha

Why would anyone buy a Raspberry Pi when they can get a fully decked out Mac Pro? There are different use cases and computers are already pretty powerful. Maybe your local model won't be able to produce tests that check all the corner

Companies that offer things for free, I fully expect for them to keep them free forever. If the pay solution is worth it I'll pay. When they start changing the contract, I find an alternative and use the service as much as I can. My Dr
