Going from Java to Kotlin does have a penalty of learning, same as going from C to C++. I think going to Java to Kotlin is easier if you have Swift or Go as language experiences.

I've been running the beta without issues for a while but I've PSA'd for my extended circle to say "definitely do a backup". I fully expect this to be a smooth transition but it's definitely an impactful change

This looks excellent, I used moto to do some unit testing of a Python application and was wondering if anything existed to make unit testing other codebases easier. There's always the risk of diversion from AWS resources but I think it

Seconding Qt, there's a bunch of bindings for non-C++ languages as well. It hits the uncanny valley sometimes but overall it's much better than the alternatives (like WxWidgets).

Look and feel is more than just what colour an icon is, it's about how an application flows. Well designed applications enable you to be more productive, they usually also have had someone really think about what the experience should

That's quite interesting, are you using Instapaper to allow you to get more expansive testing on the parsing technology before rolling in the main product or are they reasonably lockstep?

I was going to post this very same thing, the upside is it'll be easier with USB-C because it'll appear in far more devices over time than HDMI.

They're an independent fact checking and analysis site and avoid political bias. Their entire schtick is impartial research of stories for truthiness, compromising ruins it.

Yeah, because they're less trust worthy than True Pundit.

I'm a top 4% user for the year apparently, I've asked 40 questions & posted 318 answers. SO is a minefield. It's an excellent resource and I've found so much value out of it, but the moderation is hyper-aggressive at

They've changed the behaviour of the camera on the lockscreen previously. It's just an adaptation.

Porsche also required the VW Rule to be repealed, irregardless of the financial collapse that would have been a sticking point and could have dragged on indefinitely or not happened at all. Porsche would have the 75% it wanted but they coul

It's possibly slightly unfair that he's not allowed his own 'stash', but he can only donate a certain amount per year and it seems like it's in demand, and apparently it can only be stored for 42 days (according to

With the Nax cards there's always a weakness, Blizzard introduced them to change the meta but they made sure people could still enjoy the game without forking over too much capital. I've only done the first two dungeons, but I&#x2

I'd argue that you don't need to spend $600 to play it to the end. That's just what you'd have to outlay if you wanted to own nearly everything in the game. There's plenty of top level players who've spent <

Yeah, which is why people going for total deck completion need to have been playing for a while, so they can get those very specific cards. They could always have another event where they're up for grabs though.

by nicholassmith 12y ago
I think it's actually impossible to get a full collection, unless you were playing at a very specific time in the games development (one off cards for certain events etc). But that looks like some solid work on it, people will get luck

I think making an assumption that Siracusa doesn't know what's happening in the world of other OS', or hasn't been elsewhere, might be a bit off.

I read Hyperion when I was a teen, it informed my choice of online nick the moment I finished it. It's a truly fantastic book, the entire cantos is worth reading.

Early Doctrow fiction is pretty good, he doesn't attempt to push his political beliefs as much. I actually don't disagree with a lot of the ideas he espouses, but his last two books were as subtle as a stomach pump.

I think if you could own the pre-trip organisation, and the post-trip sharing that would help cement it in the users mind. Most people dump the photos onto Facebook, but I imagine if there was a way to organise the data nicely or build a ba

Symbian had a larger market as Nokia were throwing it on as many devices as they could, irregardless of whether it worked well so they saturated the market. Plus they were commonly called featurephones and not smartphones.

As someone who had been using smartphones long before the iPhone (Windows Mobile, Treos etc), I think the iPhone was the first iteration of what is commonly viewed by a large market as a smartphone. Rich user interaction via a large capacit

I'm having this same issue now with MyFitnessPal, so it could be an app bug. Annoying, seems to just add the most recent data.

I'd be surprised if most jeans for women have back pockets that could comfortably fit an iPhone 6. They're generally design additions rather than serious pockets.

And then revised the rules to allow anyone to do it. Apple rules regarding app design and development and what's allowed and what isn't are fluid. That was a pretty over the top decision though.
