If you're a veteran Linux user, you probably know where to look for config files and how to hack them. Trying to use Linux using GUI only, whichever you choose, is awful. It's like the designers copied the worst ideas from both Wi

At least the Android version has external USB-C port that could fit an adapter. The specs say only that you can charge through it, it would be nice to know if it's really limited to charging or fully functional.

I've understood it's pretty standard legal language. Actual people would be referred as "natural persons", as opposite of "legal persons".

USB is good enough for real-time music on iOS and many Android phones. If you want to already snap the controller to the phone, adding a plug isn't much trouble. And some phones still have the 3.5mm jack.

Valerian, too: https://screenrant.com/star-wars-valerian-series-inspiration... . But that scene is too similar to be an accident and it wouldn't be the only lookalike scene in SW.

It's tremolo, vibrato would be oscillating pitch. Real woodwinds can do both. And yes, Fender got them the wrong way.

I have the suspicion that your situation is not really representative of software developers in general. It's great if it works for you but don't expect others to help you if they're not getting their share of that 2x.

I'd propose replacing "indefinitely" with "until the systems it interacts with require changing it". It takes surprisingly short time for a mobile app that is written to current standards to turn into something that

Good to know. I have pretty high opinion of myself too.

I think the normal expectation would be that the advertiser pays for the ads being shown together with the content you're really interested in, and it's the advertisers' problem if the ads produce any value for them.

Reminds me of the "long tail effect". One work of weird pro war fiction is not enough, but different customised propaganda for every niche might be something.

I'm confused, was the discussion about software or visual art? Anyway, I'd recommend posting something considered criminally offensive in your location (I'm sure you can think of something) and seeing how far free speech gets

I'm quite sure it is not "speech" in the sense they knew when freedom of speech laws were written.

Drugs, dangerously poor quality consumer products and other unwanted stuff does cross borders, and most countries are making efforts to stop them too.

Looks pretty half-assed implementation to me. If they have autocorrect for Finnish, it shouldn't be too difficult to do quick lookups for both Finnish and English. And everyone knows that it's Autocorrect's carefully designed

If iOS has language detection like that, it's been broken for Finnish for years.

If you have several languages configured, there's a globe icon that lets you switch between keyboards. It's still a step down from Android that seems to just detect the language even if you switch mid-sentence.

This is interesting. Everything I had read so far has pointed to the direction that Go is a programming language.

Ok, the confusing parts are first the computing environment: So, Tcl was ported from Unix to Unix. To me they sound the some environment, but I guess you could just claim otherwise. Second: The "port" was achieved by source-to-sou

I don't understand the logic of the argument. Let's go through the claims. First, > Compiling is repeatable, however. Porting is done once. Second, > The original Tcl codebase written in C remains the source and must be comp

The other big C# ecosystem is Unity Engine with its own frameworks and plugins. It lags a bit behind Windows, and might be one reason why some C# developers seem to be behind the times when it comes to new language features. Edit: The other

Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-to-source_compiler to see the usual definition of transpiling, and how it is different from compiling and cross compiling (mentioned under "not to be confused with&q

by oriolid 4y ago
Ergo, traspiling to a different language is not porting.
147.
by oriolid 4y ago
Compiling can also be done once and the object files can be published on Github if you for some reason want to do that. As far as I understand, this "port" is transpiled from C source and the Go source files are compiler artifacts

by oriolid 4y ago
It make it sound a lot like you think that "porting" means what the rest of the world calls compiling and have no idea what porting is.

> The formal definition isn't clear on exactly what process is necessary to target a new environment I'm interested in the source of this "formal definition", because it doesn't really match anything I have come

by oriolid 4y ago
These are rather unusual definitions. Where I come from, porting to a new platform would mean rewriting platform-specific parts of the app, not coming up with a compiler that magically supports both targets. The choice between forking and r
