   Can you? Certainly. Should you? Ehhhhh… The post is experimenting with the type system—which is neat—but before you think you should push this in production (having been in positions to work with heavy-FP’d code), consider an actual FP lang

   It's kinda bad since the phones suiting my needs are still in the two-year category.

   Can I pay to get extra years of software updates on Android yet? The 2-year support thing is awful.

   Why Array.isArray() when you can require("isarray").isArray()? (Node.js 0.10.0, Fx 4.0) deep-equal has 43 packages (& 17m weekly downloads) that are mostly (is|has)-* packages or redundant wrappers like for-each and object-key

   Letting Microsoft GitHub try to monopolize laterally in the developer space by doing funding is going to lead to further lock-in for folks down the line. I’d be wary of supporting them with a chunk of your donation.

   This is the correct kneejerk, but I assume it's not for the majority of users. It makes me hesitant to give out contact info knowing it'll end up building shadow profiles despite how useful having a easily-shareable vCard should b

    With the speakers, it’s the tuning, not the hardware that is great (though I will agree their tuning is the best). The rest related to hardware, every flagship also does it just as well, but a little different. Software, if you’re comparing

    Doesn't MATE or other FOSS DE try to emulate an XP-like feel but a bit more modernized?

    So Apple doesn’t have a monopoly on “good” trackpads and most things are fixed with software? But hardware is the arguments they make for their Apple purchases!

    Recently I noticed if you try to search a project’s “code” on Microsoft GitHub while unauthenticated, you’ll get `?` results and be prompted to log in to see anything.

    I wrote a (public) uBlock filter list to hide this social media-like stuff. The “you might also like” genre exists to keep you on the platform and I have enough distractions.

    Absurd is communities like Elm where all identity and package management must be published on Microsoft GitHub or you and your code can't be a part the community repository.

    I believe the goal is to build a minimal UI for those that don't prefer which is fine, but email & pull requests aren't the only model here. Look how much tooling is created to try to fit stack-based diffs atop Git+GitHub inst

    Hilariously, this includes the everyone's favorite Fairphone 4 which did away with the 3.5mm jack marketed with sustainability despite the waste these earbuds produce compared to a good pair of wired IEMs with detachable cable that c

    Bluetooth earbuds are just not a substitute for wired heaphones. They could have supported both without compromising either but instead they started a trend of “we too have expensive-for-the-sound-quality branded earbuds” trend who’s two-ye
