In the comment section was “learn to code.” Totally Insensitive... and not that I agree, but nonetheless close to the point. The consolidation and automation of news is here to stay, and not just journalists/writers — all of us, in f

I want 17.10 to be able to jailbreak and install on the Samsung 8+. Samsung is looking to provide a phone/pc in one device, but I use ubuntu as my os today and want to continue. Samsung is already doing all the hw and docking work...

IMO -- Better is to just write better tools for plain olde ANSI-C. We can build tools to check C as well as any other. Let's just not waste time on building further complexity into our toolset and look at building toolkits and best p
