i am as surprised as OP that GP ordered cereals by mail too! first of all, transportation is not the same. food transportation to grocery stores is most of the time if not always different. in fact, some brands insist on having their own tr

apologies but that sounds like a poor course you guys picked. types should not be a concern for a beginner. i started programming with BASIC and even though it had rudimentary types it wasn't until later that i really learned about typ

yes it an improvement. and not just mobile! i always find it hard to read tiny text so my zoom level is always between 120% and 150%. they fixed all my issues with this update and that made me happy.

yea, i activated it in feature preview for about about a week or so. i love the new UI! i honestly don't mind the flat design and the spacing. the UI is truly responsive now. that's what i care most about. they finally made it pos

i agree with OP and i also see what you are trying to say but OP is saying something that is deeper that resonates with me. OP is saying that we are trying to integrate or otherwise assimilate other fields. you know, the software is eating

distributed systems are inherently hard to build no matter how simple the idea is. consider a simple application like pastebin. the idea is a block of text and a shortened url associated with it. most people have built one. but only few hav

things are different nowadays, that's all. a few things have happened -- pandemic, injustices, etc... -- that is making people take stand and speak up. i don't know much about the situation but your comment about people not callin

yes, i find OP's definition very clear and by saying number instead of integer you made it even better. for example i was re-reading some math stuff yesterday that made me realize that sometimes we want natural number instead of intege

oh wow, i am just getting my feet wet so thanks for saying. i am basically just ignoring iOS for now and am able to run my unsigned apps fine on the mac without me having to open a developer account. that's such a let-down! i was plann

i agree with you on the iOS vs macOS comment! apple allowed this problem to happen. it's the same as allowing people to abuse SEO to get on the first page of results. apple told people that there is money in iOS and they went there. we

yes many open connections is what i meant (suggested by other people as well). by the way, i really liked the writing, it's refreshing. and i agree with you that people aren't using async for the right reasons.
532.
by blondin 6y ago
same. maybe author is concerned that many people are jumping the gun on async-await before we all fully understand why we need it at all. and that's true. but that paradigm was introduced (borrowed) to solve a completely different issu

hey, this is totally tangential to the topic being discussed but i am hoping wikipedia people are here, reading these comments... why not make the mobile theme the default theme? it has better readability. works on both desktop and mobile.
