   Can't comment on the notification issue as I don't use lock screen notifications. As for the others, I'm on Android 5.1.1 and don't have any of these problems.

   There are a lot of retro gems there, including "Site Best Viewed in 1366 x 768 Resolution".

   Declaring the app "useless" sounds a bit hyperbole to me. I've been happily using Timely since its launch, and don't frankly understand your problems -- the app hasn't lost any features as far as I can see.

   Did you check the article, though? In quite many European countries the median software engineer earns less than the average salary. I wonder if they meant "median salary" instead, as median vs. median would seem a better compar

   How does this compare to Incqlude ( https://inqlude.org ), which names itself "The Qt library archive"?

   Yes I know you're joking, but seems it's done by Cutehacks [1], so probably no involvement from the Qt project itself. [1] http://www.cutehacks.com

    I seem to run to Žižek more and more often -- frankly he is the only currently alive philosopher I can name. I really should read something more from him.

    I didn't know the application is open source, too. Very cool indeed, I'll give this a try as the main maps application.

    They just cater to the audience, I suppose. The call features are a rather minor feature for many people nowadays -- I checked my call log, and it was 11 incoming+outgoing calls within the last 30 days.

    This was about expected lifetime for a product, not the warranty period. I don't know how you came up with that. If I expect shoes to last 10 years, I'm also prepared for some basic maintenance such as regular polishing and the od

    The Last Kingdom is frankly better. Though it's about the events in the British Isles, so colonisation of the New World won't likely show up there..

    I think there's something amiss in your development process if you feel you can merge changes that have -1. What's the point of a review in this case? There's always hurry, but skipping reviews (and often unit testing too) is

    This wouldn't deliver the security aspect of ad blocking though, which is a major reason to use one nowadays.

    To be fair, giving some numbers in the title makes the link much more interesting. With the original title this piece wouldn't probably have made it to the front page, as it doesn't even hint that this is about a scientific comput

    I encounter this same thing periodically myself. I found out how to fix this, but a "normal" user will never, ever manage to get around this issue by themselves. Most of the time it seems that desktop Linux would be completely rea

    I overstayed at Slashdot. I kept visiting it probably due to a long habit of it being the first news site I'd check while code was compiling. Just ingrained in muscle memory. Then, one day, I realized most discussions had turned vile.

    That may be true but doesn't really factor in to the discussion of coverage and competition: even if essentially empty, Finland is still covered. Coverage maps for the two biggest operators: * Sonera: http://www.sonera.fi&#x

    Just a tip, Firefox has Android version too, and many plugins (including uBlock Origin) work just fine with it.

    I used to use RequestPolicy too. Then I found uMatrix, which simply has a much better representation for this, and allows finer control (cookie/image/css/plugin/script/XHR/frame). I suggest you to try it out. A

    You just misunderstood what Qt meant by that line. It's not like they would be shipping Flash with Qt.

    I don't know any numbers, but if I'd start a new project, I'd go with C++ logic with QML UI. It automatically steers you to a better application architecture when there's a clear divide between data and representation. A

    Also, many countries tax alcohol heavily to keep the consumption in check. The topic can be debated, but it does have a direct positive effect on public health, domestic violence, and untimely deaths.

    Interesting. Perhaps I've just been lucky with my banking choices. For reference, one of my bank accounts is in Germany and the other one in Finland.

    This is a strange accusation, and I'd like to hear what gives you that impression. As far as I know, Qt has been getting more open, with the Free Qt foundation including new platforms and all.
