What conclusion do you draw from this? I'm curious because it's pretty easy to find a postal address for any giant company, however what will you gain from it?

Please check the guidelines (at the bottom of most pages) and search for astroturfing.

Yeah but coding style dictates that the member is then named "makeWidget()". Any confusion about the returned type is minimal, IMHO.

In practice, type inference for return types works fine for the work I do (iOS development). Initializers are blindingly obvious anyway, and other functions are often members of an object or a struct. There are barely any bare functions.

You sound defeated. You mention a number of movements in the industry, then draw the conclusion that these are so strong, for all of us, that we no longer have any say. Are you depressed?

On one hand, I agree with you. On the other hand, you say this is a hardware issue but do you know for a fact that is what happened? Migration sounds to me like you migrate data from one state to the other state, then delete the old state.

What is weird to me, is that you can't really back up Google Docs, Sheets, etc. because as far as I know, the document format is closed. I understand you can use Google Takeout, but documents export to Word, drawings to JPG, etc. You c

Have you checked whether replacing the screen yourself is cheaper? As an example, I had an iPhone SE with a broken home button. Repairing it would cost 60 euros, which wouldn't be worth it. On the other hand, a single replacement home

Nowadays, I buy a screen protector together with a new MacBook. I've never experienced staingate but I did see how dirty keys ate into the coating of the screen.

Yeah but those "very specific circumstances" can come up at inconvenient moments. Certbot didn't run, disk got full, CPU hitting 100% for some reason, Debian needed to be upgraded, These are all things that need to be taken c

Probably, yes. I could do some soldering on the beard trimmer, but the electronics in the earbuds are positively microscopic.

As far as I know, a USB-C charger should never have a hot V+/V- and that is what my beard trimmer requires. EDIT: alias_neo corrected me, and pointed out that it's D+/D- I'm thinking about. On the other hand, this is exp

I no longer buy anything without a USB-C port. I hit a snag with my beard trimmer and my first-gen OnePlus bluetooth earbuds, which can only be charged with a USB-A-to-USB-C cable. But other than that, I'm good to go. I understand the

Interesting. It essentially provides a type safe API for your database, and makes all changes to the database into compile time checks.
