I think his point is (and yes, he could have put it more nicely) that this sort of articles often turn into Android bashing and praising Apple which unfortunately steals attention from an important discussion. This is specially annoying whe

This is unfortunately very common but doesn't take away the fact that privacy on Android can be significantly improved with very small changes. For example: * Reintroduce the network permission * Add a notification event so your smartw

Unpopular opinion: I have _never_ had any real use of TAoCP. I own all volumes and have really tried to make use of them but they feel more like a trivia book than something you can actually use in your work. Sure, it's cool to own and

A lot of people here recommend Flutter, React and similar. But these build upon frontend technologies and use a frontend mindset you might find very difficult to get into. If you know Java, I would instead recommend going through Googles ne

Let me clarify: they are not fixing the issues, just hiding them from customers. Are these important issues that should have been fixed or just small good-to-have things? The answer is: yes

If you think that is horrible, let me tell you a story about the opposite approach: There is very successful company, let's call them "LEG", that makes computer thingies. In order to improve customer confidence, "LEG&quo

TODO: do something about all those TODOs in our codebase. This could make an excellent XKCD. Edit: to turn this into a more useful comment, let me add that TODO is an important component of test-driven development. If you read Kent's o
