I guess? Although in the few iOS/watchOS apps I made I never edited it manually.

I did Android Developer Challenge back in 2008 and honestly don't remember doing that much of XML. Although it is the technology from peak XML days so perhaps you're right.

There was fresh COBOL code written up until early 1990s too, long past its heyday. Thing is you couldn't swing a dead cat in 00s without hitting XML. Nearly every job opening had XML listed in requirements. But since mid-2010s you can

Breaching 6 major peace treaties and alliances (that I just remember of) in span of 30 years is not nitpicking and no you can't come up with this for "any country". I also didn't call Putin crazy anywhere but feel like p

Yes, kind of like COBOL. Dead.

I am replying to you comment. Please. Your reply had nothing to do with the context of my comment. I in fact gave you a benefit of doubt that you're not just a very quantized LLM. As to the trustworthiness let's tally: - Khasavy

Aside from you apparently replying to some other comment than mine: Russia honors no treaties or alliances except when it's convenient.

We can only thank the millennials for killing the whole XML tech stack for good. That and blood diamonds industry.

While I generally agree with your point presenting Russia as a decision making entity is dangerously misleading. You're not dealing with democracy or even 1970s committee-run USSR anymore. Sure Putin has broad support and a number of c

Right, it's sometimes hard to see the difference with democracy and authoritarianism if you never experienced the latter.

They were well known in fighter pilot community. It's not an obscure fact, they undergo training for ejection seats. There is a specific ejection posture to minimize the risk of snapping your spine.

The new YASA axial flux motor weighs just 28 pounds, or about the same as a small dog. But how many footballs a small dog weighs?

Hewlett-Packard was instruments and test equipment company with some computer offerings appearing in 1970s. The latter were own designs, with bespoke CPU architecture and system software. Eventually they started producing PC clones which h

HP is dead for soon three decades. There is a company with its name nowadays that makes shitty computers and some printers.

You don't really get a rando who would be unaware of that in the pilot seat of a fighter jet very often.

I call this the quicksand theory of network security. The threat is real but the risk overstated by orders of magnitude.

Have you never sat on public wifi and tried to open an http site? These days it is highly likely to be MITM'd by the wifi provider to inject ads (or worse). I honestly don't remember a single case where that happened to me. Inte

I'm not sure where this idea comes from though, it's not something I argued. The post I replied to claims engineers can't see the big picture and deal with end user requirements, and your own testimony above contradicts that.

Did you look at the graveyard of failed start-ups and conclude they would of lived if they had enough non-coding overhead?

There's little evidence that this is a common problem.

Suffering isn't necessary outside evolutionary pressures. But if a bouillon of animal proteins could be conscious why not.

Relatively few politicians get their campaigns funded by hostile states, although it increasingly becomes more common. And while corruption is multifaceted this is clearly one of the graver violations. Let's hope all of them end up pro

Our Leaf is still going fine after 12 years. But a 2013 budget EV is hilariously low spec by today standards. So yeah if you're looking for family heirloom qualities in a car it's a wrong choice. Most people don't drive old c

EV maintenance costs are way lower. There's hardly non-recycleable electrical waste in EVs. And they absolutely can last 15 years: depreciation doesn't mean they fall apart.

This phenomenon is not limited to the United States, the trend is global including many parliamentary republics.

I don't know what kind of citation you expect. It's clear that political participation was never more direct and organized than now in the age of social media. The fools and resentful who always were numerous have found a way to u

This uh valiant defense of China misses my point entirely. People in democracies have no excuse hiding their personal responsibility behind flawed leadership.

The leadership in democracy does what the population wants, even more so in the past couple decades.
