Is UX a nightmare on desktop right now? Nearly all desktop/laptop computers can have their OS changed to different one. There is technically nothing stopping mobiles form working in the same way.

There is no technical difficulty. The only difficulty here is to find business plan that is not negatively affected by this feature.

I think that "dynamic linking and all its problems" imply that some of the bloat comes from the dynamic linking itself. At least that's how I read it. I believe argument here goes beyond the sole fact of introducing dynamic l

It does address the question indirectly. The implicit argument is that the size of duplicated common parts may be lower than size of single instance of everything that is bundled in OpenSSL. There is no proof however if that's the case

Unity is default, not only supported desktop environment. I haven't tried all availalbe environments but getting rid of Unity for xfce is just `apt-get install xfce4`, and it's the same for more exotic options like xmonad.

Not surprisingly, the sum of two lists is just as nice in Haskell: zipWith (+) a b ... and things get a little bit hairy with three lists: zipWith3 (\x y z -> x + y + z) a b c ... which is still nice but for four lists

There is a command block [0], which seems to provide a crude scripting environment. It perhaps might signalize what programming can do, but I think it's hardly an effective learning environment. [0] http://minecraft.gamepedi

Personally, I think it is crucial in personal development because, as you put it, it is an agreement, not a choice. There are some lessons to be learned from getting somebody to agree with you on something.

The header role is to define the interface of the module, that's why I believe the leaner the header is the better. When I'm using a module I do not care what the implementation is using, the only thing I care about is what functi

It is leaking includes without any reason, there is no need for the user of given module to know what dependencies the implementation is using. Place to list dependencies is at the beginning of the source file of given module, and as far as

int(foo) and (int) foo(int(x), int(y)) are not legal syntax in C. However, they are in C++ [0], which is my whole point. [0] your method declaration has a small problem, it apparently cannot have parenthesis around returned type.
