But how is that different from the Google contact lenses from 2014?

My point was, kernel version should not change with every Android release...

Great getting started page. Short and direct. As a Kotlin noob, can someone explain to me why the Kotlin on-click listener doesn't need to specify onClick() like the Java one does?

You missed my point. It doesn't have to be a mainstream kernel. The only important part is that it is a fixed kernel version so drivers and such does not need to be re-written with each new android release.

This is my mine gripe. Google should put some resources into kernel development for a year or so.Get the changes they want into Linux 5.0 and make it the android long-term-release kernel. Then no further changes to the kernel unless its 0.0

Don't be a snowflake. If everyone are using X, don't go with just Y because it is slightly more elegant or efficient.

Not? Sure it is not as big as AWS or Azure but I think they are number 3 or 4.

To be fair, there are also "technical sales" jobs. On the other hand, technical sales is normally a well paid expert position. Most recruiters I have met have been young and badly paid.

Some first party windows app currently do this on the front page (front window?) but once you get to the content (e.g. open an email) they adapt by minimizing the dead space. Works pretty good but must be really hard to code.

If you are curious about Ardour (or creative software for Linux in general) I highly recommend back issues of the Linux Voice magazine (RIP) which often reviews and explains such software: https://www.linuxvoice.com/creative

Sorry, I meant things like dependency management among services. I don't think systemd supports what you are asking but it shouldn't be too hard to write a service that restarts other services if their shared libraries change?

For that matter, why are we seeing so many updates? It seems 1/4 of my CPU cycles are used to keep the system up to date. ChromeOS updates the system once every 6 weeks and still has a far more secure system.

You too are missing the point. The same people who didn't upgrade from 10.04 would probably also not take advantage of the Microsofts offer to upgrade to win10 free of charge, because <reasons>. I am so happy that win10 patches a

I find it hilarious that on a page about cross-platform design the left menu hides part of the article text on the ohh-so-common 1920x1080 displays. I guess to some people cross-platform means "works on my imac 5K and my MBP retina&q

This comment makes my blood boil. Please ask yourself: 1. why would anybody want to keep 10.04 alive? 2. do you think the type of people who stubbornly continue to use 10.04 would know/care enough about security to seek an alternative

And yet this happens. All the time. In adsense, on youtube, on Google+, on the Play store and basically in every other customer-facing Google business. I can see two reasons for that: 1. A not-my-problem mentality at Google 2. Google is try

I think the point OP is making is that Uber doesn't really own anything outside mindshare. The drivers are after all free agents. Once the VC money used to subsidize rides dries out basically any company can challenge Uber. Which is wh
