Right – that's what I meant, but I didn't communicate it clearly. Thanks for clarifying.

I've had more filesystem corruption trouble with exFAT on Linux than with any other filesystem, ever, including Btrfs. Really crossing my fingers and hoping for the quality of the Samsung driver in Linux 5.7. It's going to be grea

It is – it dates back to 2006. But before 2019, the spec was proprietary and patent-encumbered. And the Linux kernel didn't include a good driver for it until 5.7, released in May of last year[0]. [0]: https://kernelnewbies.

At my last employer, I built a filter program, creatively called CSVTools[0], to do something like this. One piece of the project parses CSVs and replaces the commas/newlines (in an escaping- and multiline-aware manner, of course) with

A new out-of-box “Empty Activity” app project in Android Studio compiles to a 1.59 KB APK (if implemented in Java; it goes up to 2.26 MB APK with Kotlin). Rip out the dependencies on AndroidX, and the APK size plummets to 103 KB. (The APK f

I have similar memories from around the time when USB sticks started gaining popularity. I think floppy disk manufacturers started slacking off on QA through the last few years of large-scale manufacturing. They certainly didn't used t

I don't truly own my phone number. I barely control it. I can move it from provider to provider, kind of, but it's still not _my_ number – the number is a side effect of having cell service. In particular, if I move to a new count

A true BSD chroot jail restricts the user's mobility around the file system, effectively limiting them to running only what binaries have been explicitly placed within that jail. It means, among other things, that the fork hacks that c

I fly twice a year. Why the hell would I want an app for a flight booking company? It's this sort of mentality that really gets my goat when it comes to mobile.

Coming from a world of Java (Java SE of no particular platform and Android), I find the iOS documentation surprisingly hard to navigate. In the Java world, it's common for documentation on a class to contain at least a page of introduc

What's the motivation for replacing Ocelot? My understanding is that it's mostly a drop-in replacement for XBTT (please correct me if I'm wrong); is one of the design goals of Chihaya to modernize the API?

Is that just a typo or is the actual domain spelt incorrectly? (It ought to be “happiness” with two “s”es.)

OVH has a history of suspending service at the drop of a hat. I'd avoid them for anything business-critical.

That's an incredibly good way to lock out new newbies. I don't know how many people I know who got into programming through web development. Just because existing web developers don't necessarily need a simple solution does

I'm sorry, but who are these guys to judge any sort of font? Lower-case glyphs in their body font are as wide as they are tall and have really weird kerning. It's virtually unreadable.

As a Canadian, I find the cost difference startling. The article talks about the wraps being expensive at $4, which sounded reasonable to me, being on par with the cost of their salad offerings north of the 49th. Then in the next sentence,

Sloppy[1] is a really old tool that does this. For iOS development specifically, I've been told of Network Link Conditioner[2], and supposedly, Fiddler[3] and Charles[4] both includes some of this functionality. 1. http://ww

Aussies? What about Canadians? Sure, we don't pay the same dollar markup either of you do, but there's some goat to be got in finding at least a 10-15% markup on unit pricing before shipping and import taxes when the destination i

Ah, alright. I'm familiar with OldVersion and that was how I was originally anticipating installing it, so I guess that's what I'll do.

StackOverflow is being killed by its overzealous moderation, as was Wikipedia a year or so ago before they backed off a bit. Let's sample a random question from the `php` tag: [1]. The question is not particularly well-asked, but I thi

It strikes me that the BBC is hilariously bad at archival. They scrapped dozens of Doctor Who episodes in the name of saving space ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_missing_episodes ).
