If anything is painful it's the complete bag of shit the Apple Music app is. Spotify doesn't have the best UI, but it's a lot less infuriating to navigate. You can't expect Apple to integrate every music service on the H

Eclipse is using an effectively 'cooperating multitasking' scheme where it just hooks lots of events from the main application. If you just install 1 single bad plugin that tries to do synchronous network access it will undoubtedl

Why do you pirate content you don't want? And if you're pirating content you do want you're just informing studios there's no money to be made with it so they certainly won't make more of it.

Current Java practices seem to prefer the 'builder pattern' where you chain a few setter functions and the call a .build() function that returns the object. If a new field is required you can add an assertion in the builder. The &

Think of multi user databases where you want the latest version of the data. Local spreadsheets would be a synchronization nightmare. Also, web applications are seldom one single sheet, but an intertwined view on lots of tables combined wit

Even if it's an order of magnitude less it's still a lot of compute ;) What the author of the article forgets is those microprocessors will use a lot more power if used 100% of the time, so there's no 'free' compute

Don't know about video courses, but Internet standards like DHCP are open and available on IETF.org. There are explanations on Wikipedia too. Also, if you're into Linux the HOWTO section on tldp.org can also be a big help for more

My 8 year old Volvo does that rarely (two times in 8 years). At least it has a watchdog that reboots the dash and keeps running.

Which business model would that be then? The Apple model where you buy expensive hardware and get exclusive software in the package? The Microsoft model where you buy software and are still treated like a freeloading advertisement consumer?

Then they have sold their last car in Sweden I suppose. It's not that Tesla is the only option anymore. Also, why would you buy a car from a company that bullies their customers to make a point in a union conflict you are no part of?

I've started on the ZX Spectrum too, as I recall the built-in BASIC had GO SUB and RETURN statements so you could do subroutines. It even had FOR loops. Allowing only a single letter for string variable names was a pain though ;)

I don't see how a client application blocking its main event handler isn't broken? If you're going to do lots of work or blocking I/O you spin it off to another thread so UI updates will be handled without pause.

At default zoom the image is 20% of the width of my monitor so it's hard to see artefacts. When zoomed in the posterization is noticeable but jpeg at 85% is about as bad as webp. I don't see any substantial difference in lighting.
