Okay, but when I hear "homeless" I think "unsheltered". That's what it means in colloquial use.

The lack of feature parity on the sms side (poor quality videos, stupid text responses when ppl like something) is annoying .. but if you're ostracized because of the green bubble, that may turn out better for you anyway. My kids don&

I had iphones from the 3G on up to about 2 years ago, when I thought I'd try android. I was surprised when group txt messages stopped working for me, even after I did whatever apple told me to do to disable iMessage after the fact. The

I think there are Christian artists who could make it in the mainstream, but who focus on Christian themes out of devotion/passion, in spite of the smaller audience.

I agree. I think part of the reason for this is that Typescript's type system was created with a goal of expressing the APIs of many existing js APIs, and many of those APIs are designed without any real constraint imposed by the type

Why do they want to avoid thinking about it? It seems like the parent is saying they wish they could think about it more, but it's ambiguous to the point of meaninglessness.

I think they're saying that it's hard to see why it matters or is interesting intrinsically (i.e., if you didn't get any advantage by claiming some heritage, why else do you care?). Personally, I still find it interesting, bu

I sympathize with both points of view. I think of autotools as an extreme example of how less general tools tend to grow in complexity to the point that the effort to learn them outweighs the benefit you get from knowing them well. But ther

Sometimes it's easier to use tools you know will be available than to ensure your tool of choice will be available everywhere you need it to be. JavaScript, esp. pre v6, is another example that makes almost no sense when you ignore its

I'd like to learn more about the architectures and techniques developed over the last decade for this; can you recommend a few links or keywords to search?

Maybe something simpler like a stun/turn server would be enough. Or something with no infrastructure (or recurring fees) at all, only working in my local network (like my printer).

Kind of, yes. You don't have to learn very much about law to realize that trying to codify/define everything to the extreme is a fool's errand, so we just punt and leave it up to "a jury of your peers".

I guess that depends on how you define "understand." There are many things I understand that I would have a hard time explaining to someone else, much less defining them. Most people who have spent enough time to master something

Maybe a better distinction is how some things are "hard to define" but "easy to understand".

Maybe the feeling of inferiority is really just an appreciation for the contributions of the other "tribes", which I'd argue makes you able to "cross tribal lines"
