Handling configuration changes for every resize event is horrible. I really dislike Android's design around startup/pause/resume etc of the app.

You and two other people want that. Every time they've released small phones they've not sold well. It's a small but extremely vocal community of people that constantly ask for this stuff.

Why? I'm much better at writing code than describing that code in plain English. That's why programming languages exist.

I find pretty much all fruit and vegetables to be rubbish in Scotland. The only exception is the couple of things grown here. Which is baffling given if you fly for couple of hours you can get fantastic produce everywhere.

With my own use case I've noticed very poor compute shader performance on the Snapdragon GPUs. Even worse the drivers are completely unpredictable. The same shader will sometimes run 2x slower for seemingly no good reason at all. I did

Eh that is a huge stretch. Besides Firefox is still significantly less performant than Chromium.

Caffeine is great for working out. I have a coffee before running or lifting weights. It's also usually included into lots fitness oriented supplements.

I drink decaf in the afternoon. Otherwise I'll have an Americano with a little bit of milk at least twice a day. I'll happily drink espresso and filter coffee though. Personally I don't find well made coffee bitter at all.

If you feel tired and lethargic without coffee than to me that is a bigger problem to solve. I find the view on coffee here so strange. If I don't drink coffee I still get up and go for a run, I can still do everything just the same. M

Here we go again. If you seriously think that then you should probably consider changing careers.

What are proper video calls? I can make video calls just fine in Slack.

Assistants are generally limited to people who can afford to have one. I think that's a fair assumption. Out of all those people not everyone in that group is going to have one. Which leaves a very very few people that do have one. Why

Having other people read through my stuff and respond for me is creepy regardless.

Except they don't. Some might and they seem intent on telling everybody else how it's the best option for them. Just let me install whatever I want. My choice if it explodes.

This is why LLMs are so good at it. They don't need to investigate anything they can just write about it.

Android is anything but high quality. There are so many baffling and poorly thought out ideas it's a dumpster fire.

Too bad they've spent the last few years ruining Windows with ads and other things. I'll happily give up all these features.

It goes beyond just stealing some money. They can ruin your credit rating by claiming you didn't pay your bills even when they are incorrect. I was wondering this same thing recently after being charged for something for an extra month

They must be so paranoid about OpenAI or whoever releasing some new AI search engine that they are rushing all these mediocre AI features. Ironically it will probably the reason Google search starts to lose out because they're making i

Any professional developer should understand these things. It was taught at first year of my computer science degree. As you say it isn't particularly difficult if you have a strategy. If you can't manage memory then what about an

I've been programming for about as long but I've yet to see a case where searching on Google (and often opening Stack overflow) wasn't quicker than ChatGPT. More often than not if I'm looking something up I'll get a

All of Google's services are also on iOS, often the apps work better than on Android. There is no barrier to switching.

You only have to look at some of the businesses that launched the last couple of batches. The AI products in particular were of very questionable quality.
