   Yes, I wondered whether "referring" had some special meaning, since the way they seem to use it suggests the word reference would normally be more appropriate there (unless it's a special meaning that warrants the different w

   Yes, I would echo this. In most categories there are loads of subpar efforts when putting all that effort behind the top few would yield a handful of excellent apps. Collaboration can seem daunting and hard work, but it's work that wil

   I suspect it's an accident/unintentional by Mozilla but it's kind of odd how it's written with literally no mention of project start/history (besides ONE mention of some action in 2022, when it was already 4 years o

   I've not kept up with the template complexity situation: do you have a sense for whether they're succeeding in simplifying things yet? (besides the benefit that Wikifunctions should bring)

   Nice to see new efforts taking inspiration from excellent posts from years back! I can't quite believe it's over a decade since the original post by Jon Skinner.

   Thanks a lot - this is helpful!

   Good point - I definitely need to record them and see if the patterns are really there (it's possible I'm naively noticing only when it fits!)

   Are there accessible techniques to establish if a number sequence is from a good RNG or not? I appreciate that people are probably bad judges of randomness but I keep noticing odd patterns with a supposedly random number generated as part o

    Putting aside the speed of code that runs, Windows often has a load of things you don't want wasting CPU resources - in a corporate environment, you can often sense when they kick in, as the fans whir and certain things get subtly slow

    Does that definitely negate the value in merging this? I'm not up on the distinctions here but it seems like people may have older headphones where this could still result in improved quality and it seems like low hanging fruit.

    Indeed. The headline has overeager use of the present tense clearly!

    However keeping the Python version up to date shouldn't be that hard though, should it?

    Maybe it would look that way if you lack the context that supports it being a sensible progression from some nearby finding that raised questions along these lines.

    It'll need finishing touches but they've got plenty of time for that before the February 2024 launch

    Completely agree. This seems a really nice approach in Gentoo. Am a big fan of Arch but I was immediately thinking this would be handy there - I'm pleased with the engagement/responsibility that Arch encourages but this kind of th

    Haven't had over heating or battery drain issues fortunately (battery is one area it's markedly improved as my previous phone was around 2 years old) The connectivity could be better but it's hard to be sure this is the phone

    Despite the value this offers I'm not keen to be a guinea pig, especially as the Pixel 8 Pro already has some unpredictable lagginess with software already, so I don't want to add to the mix with additional things that could confu

    I could be wrong but I believe the original comment that's used as the title here comes from this tweet: https://twitter.com/felix_red_panda/status/17189166315129492...

    I agree they were hard to find but for the last eight weeks or so they've become fairly widely available again. Just look here, https://rpilocator.com/ - there's a huge list of vendors round the world

    You are misreading how this phrase is used! It means they do care. If they didn't give a shit that would mean they didn't care and this is the opposite.

    One more point: I'm sure this was better on previous Pixel to Pixel transfers. I'm definitely noticing a number of regressions across the new OS. Central functions that worked fine getting stuttery,eg showing a PDF, although it ha

    I've avoided this (and I have two email accounts set up at once on my device under Android 14). That said, the entire handling of backing up / migrating all data could be MUCH better: I migrated from Pixel 6 to Pixel 8, photos wer

    Understood. I never do unless it were breaking prod or breaking major business processes. Regular approaches, avoiding firefighting are essential to steady, stable states.
