> do I really need root on a phone? My answer is no for now. I very much agree on this point. I started on Android 1.5 (Samsung Galaxy) and back then and for the next several years you simply always had a better experience after rooting

Anecdotally, I have a similar timeline of phones (Nexus 4, 5, 5x) except for the fact that they are all still running fine (the Nexus 4 now runs as a wifi-only portable music player paired to a bluetooth speaker). My SO, on the other hand,

I can't think of a single European airline that does not have seat-back IFE on long-haul flights. The same goes for the ME3 airlines.

Heh, thanks for pointing that out. Looks like it's a brand new feature only available since this year and only for Office 365 customers (for now, I hope), given that it's not supported on my Office 2016 build.

It is truly an awful format. Surprisingly it is still the only supported vector format in Office...

Maybe I am missing something but if you're using set::find so often, why not an unordered_set?

I just switched back from Arch to Xubuntu recently and could not agree more. I had been using Arch for over 5 years and I really enjoyed it but these days it's just not worth the effort. I had to format my hard drive and start from scr

I was just going to say. The other new features seem like very welcome additions but the deconstructor seems a bit contrived and a rare use-case which does not directly solve an existing problem (also makes it easy to confuse desctructor&#x

Definitely. I remember an ICQ 'friend' telling me about it. I think that is basically how I got into the deeper end of 'computing': learning about IPs, TCP/IP, playing around with scripts and hacking together my own

You mean the ikea BookBook? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOXQo7nURs0 Apple might not be the first to the market with a book but I am sure they will have done it better than anyone else.

That is quite weird. I, on the other hand, did not know they made things other than public transport vehicles such as planes and trains. I'd say anyone who has travelled a modest amount on planes will have flown on one of their plane

Very off-topic but what is your real-world use case for such an app? The site lists a couple but most of those seem to make more sense when using a recording app in the traditional, explicit, way (e.g. "we are having a meeting, I will

I think the main issue with documentation for Microsoft products/APIs is that the content is spread out on a large number of different Microsoft domains which makes it inherently difficult to find something. I have also often found (af
