Thankfully Apple don't have a monopoly on wireless earphones. So for people like me who their earphones wouldn't fit, I can have wireless earphones on my iPhone and still have them fit securely for when I'm out running. Win w

Why would they be an inconvenience if you need them all the time? Wouldn't you just keep them attached to the airpod (just like you would with any other earphone)? In any case, at that price I'd expect those silicone types to come

I've seen a lot of scaremongering but none of that was from lawyers. My observations was most of the negativity came from a combination of the press writing slanted articles criticising the EU (which is fairly typical for anything rela

I got that. I was saying there were a lot of other mitigating circumstances that contributed towards Plan 9’s lack of success that would be specific to Plan 9 and thus not relevant to general purpose programming languages. So it’s not reall

It does but without it you have a chicken / egg situation where developers wouldn't use ATS without the library support but those libraries don't get written without developers using ATS. At least this breaks the deadlock and
