> Using UTF-8 but only the ASCII bits, and using ASCII are the exact same activity, however. Which was my point. The encoding might be different. For ASCII 7 bit is fine, for UTF-8 and only ASCII, 8 bits are required and, as you also alr

Whether that is considered an issue or not is merely in the eye of the beholder. E.g. a compacting ligature for "www" seems to be welcome in some typefaces for coding. But again, only to stress the reminder: It ain't monospac

I think that is a stylistic decision to make it appear as if, but again, this ain't monospace any longer. In monospace one letter/symbol (printable character) has constant width. The ligature is one letter/symbol. so while th

Yes, exactly, and Unicode has more encodings than UTF-8 so stating it explicitly makes clear which encoding of Unicode that is. Writing only ASCII would not be relaying on Unicode, but on ASCII only. IMHO a bit shortsighted today.

For portable code, use UTF-8 only, and only the part in ASCII. This also helps to distinguish digits from alphas etc. Unicode is a different code. (and as I learned today, Julia code might be exclusive here)

Which brings us back to the point of ligatures which are combining so make a single of what is a double or triple and hence no monospace any longer. No judgement if that is good or bad or at all. Just a reminder that it ain't monospace

Pardon, then you may have misread along my comment, that was not ill intended, just seeing that the article polarizes.

That's a good advice, isn't it? Thanks for pointing to it. But it is interesting still, how many seem to read the text it feels to them touching their privates and need to make themselves vent off.

Just was wondering if today anyone is still using them, so I guess that does not need to be asked. All right, oh my captain, keep the indents and spacing tight on the monospace and sail along! Btw., anyone still using monospaced fonts in th

If not an issue to show the own research about the points in the project first or asking for understanding in context. But that's perhaps how grown ups would do it. Some just want to have the argument to show they know better (but only

It looks like a much more specialized system than Ansible in this case. More specialized systems may bring the burden that they are harder to debug (Ansible is also astonishing hard to read the debugs' -vvv output btw.) but with the be

this is a pure code style issue, with the twist you're not aware of code-style. so IMHO barking the wrong tree.

And not to forget: - Pre-Commit hooks that fail to handle partial stages. - Running CI as far away as possible to enlarge feedback time. - Non-incremental builds.

No, you can't initiate a session with someone you know the number of, it demands access to contacts so "you can stay in contact with your friends". The usual weasel words.

And if you tell me now, that it works without having access to contacts, its lightyears ahead of WhatsApp. But still, these moaning dialogs aren't trust-building. I wish there would be better guidance with UX in the industry.

YMMV, but IMHO it is preferable that the fundamental execution model of the app stays in control of the app-executing user and should not be affected or be dependent on the app review process. Rationale is to prevent single point of failure

Additionally there should be a sandbox mode. While you give the app access to Photos and Contacts, it's an actual sandbox not containing any photo nor any contact. So the app gets what it asks for (the permission) while the user ca

We sense a bit of negativity that spills from the later on to the former, so to apply the rule for today, removing the later from the equation may give you better results in decision making.
