Usually we'd use the word "schedule" for that (American here). "Roster" is used mainly to mean a "list of people".

They can't implement RCS, because there's no Android API for it.

I think much of it really comes down to how schools treat boys.

Houston still has de facto zoning [0] and minimum parking requirements. The sprawl is not ideal, but prices are still far lower than other places. 1: https://kinder.rice.edu/urbanedge/forget-what-youve-heard-ho...

That's actually a really good idea, but I think it could cause problems for things like external numpads. Maybe require the user to type a random combination of keys shown on the screen before enabling a given input device, instead of

I've seen it happen. Fellow students in my year in EE were way more capable than students the following year - same professors, same courses.

Does it need to be precise? I'd probably just use an hourly cron job.

I think this is a standard feature on Samsung phones, but I really wish it was standard in Android.

The reason I brought up rural specifically is because a lot of people in the US live hours away from the nearest hospital - of course unpredictable things like childbirth will not go as well if you don't have access to a hospital.

Yeah, sounds like they should just message back "Hey, I'll take a look at these in an hour or so, after I get caught up"

Seems like it would be pretty easy. Send a "dot" for three contractions each one second apart. Send a "dash" for three contractions each three seconds apart. It would be pretty slow, but it doesn't need to be fast.

I assume he was talking about a high voltage line? Aboveground power lines are quite common.

Exactly. All of the recent big features were added a few years ago, and now they're really just filling in the gaps.

Wow, it used decimal time? That was always a bad idea - being indivisible by multiples of 3.

That kind of ambiguity is everywhere, though. If it's Friday, and I say "next Monday", those two days are close enough that you may need clarification - do I mean "this coming Monday" or "the Monday after that&

The "corporations are just greedy" thing makes zero sense. If it's just greed, then why have they just recently started? It's not like they all got together and decided to raise prices.

Do you have a tool that enforces the use of all of these macros and stuff? How do you know that, for instance, you didn't forget something? Seems like one slip-up is all it would take.

It's much easier to audit a ton of unsafe blocks beneath a safe abstraction layer than an entire codebase. And Rust provides very powerful tools like Miri which can catch pretty much any soundness issue if you have good enough test cov

Okay and what about preventing use-after-free and dereferencing null pointers?

I think Chumbawumba would be a good name. Just nickname it Chubby or Chewy. It's not significantly worse than Kubernetes.

There are two clippy lints that cover these possible panics: - indexing_slicing - integer_arithmetic Enabling those will throw an error on usage in your codebase. Also it's worth noting that arithmetic is only checked against overflow

For something run relatively infrequently, I can see why it wouldn't be a huge priority. On that topic, I wish there was a generic build system like SCons written in something faster. Maybe there is (does Bazel fit my bill?) and I just
