Android is an open source OS, but not a "phone". It's the core, but you need more than that to boot it on a particular device.

Rubocop can autocorrect strings to use the "correct" quotes based on context. The rule for "Standard" is silly and unnecessary. The argument about readability falls flat with me. At the end of the day, let the tools enfo

Yeah, I don't see this having the same sort of diligence around additions (or even the initial ruleset) that would be present in languages with inborn opinions like Go and Rust. It really seems like a bunch of arbitrary linting rules t

13 inches simply isn't enough for what I need. I'd consider this today if I could get a 15 inch screen.

I feel so old seeing this. I was using GAIM very shortly after it was publicly released, and basically continued with Pidgin up until AIM died a few years back. I don't use any equivalent nowadays.

Comodo is a renewal and updating an artifact (i.e. the actual cert), then you're done, vs. having to handle LE's API to deal with doing it 'automatically' and then carrying that forward. My point is simply that the cost

The cost to build and maintain the infrastructure to handle renewal and tests to verify such.

While you're not paying for the cert, there is certainly still a cost involved.

It's barely better than nothing. If it's really, really a problem, there are much stronger measures that can be taken, whether that be digital solutions or all paper. I don't see how your paragraph about differentiation is
46.
by mpd 6y ago
My point is that it's wasting time and dumping problems on the future. There are stronger measures that can be taken, if the problem really needs to be solved. "Fuck it, let someone else fix it." - I'm sick of this.

It's a problem because then 20 years from now they just waste time doing the same thing (how long did it take this generation to remove pennies?) Why? Do you think this would be the solution if humans lived for 200 years on average?
48.
by mpd 6y ago
That's just dumping the issue on the next generation. The solution would be different if we lived forever, I think.

I'm not clear how this isn't kicking the can down the road for awhile, when eventually nickels will be the new pennies? Is there not a better solution? How much do nickels cost to make?

Be absolutely relentless in searching and discovering new tools, and throwing old ones away when they aren't the best anymore. Note this can be painful to leave an old favorite behind.

Yes. Check out the differences between `&&` vs. `and`, along with `or` vs. `||`, which can lead to similar surprises. Though you can skip this lesson if you've worked with Perl (any others?) in the past.

The default has been to leap before lurking for many years now. I don't expect it to change back ever again.

most of your list looks on point, but Spacewar! and touch screens both predate 1971.

Compared to what we have today? I don't think you have to go very far back at all. Even in medieval times they didn't have the free time we have now.
