In the "battery" section, perhaps it is useful to mention that if you have a phone with a removable battery, you can buy extra batteries (normally $5 each on eBay) and a battery charger (also $5) to charge two batteries at once.

Definitely agree that this has started happening in the last ~10 years. The solution is to convince programmers to maintain their own open-source projects so they can discover for themselves the reasons developers do this. (e.g. it's n

Great! If you can answer those questions, send a pull request to add it to the docstring. You've spent some time thinking of those questions, so you'd write a very complete docstring. Complaining will not solve the issue. Sending

Why would you need an entire whitepaper for wrapping OS widgets in a window? The API is the documentation, and the example code gives you everything you need to get going. Why would you need anything else?

The entire API is 1100 lines. https://github.com/andlabs/libui/blob/master/ui.h You don't need a separate documentation for that. In fact, most functions have sufficient docstrings if their names do

Could we get a less clickbait title please? EDIT: Thanks!

Well, these sound like great excuses to not switch to ipv6.

I've been using basic HTML Gmail since the new one came out. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/15049?hl=en Works great with vim-like browsers and has no icons, just text.

Yes, encryption is essentially pointless because it only delays the discovery of a hack by a few days. The goal of an MMORPG network protocol designer is to make the official client the easiest/fastest way to train levels and kill mons

The reason for pretty much any bug found in software driven by a huge company is that there is a large disconnect between fixing bugs and profit. Fixing a bug almost never excites users, and even if it did in this case, they won't see

Is that series endorsed by xorpd or an account just called xorpd? Udemy is known for allowing anyone to steal, upload, and profit from video series. EDIT: Looks like it is. https://www.xorpd.net/pages/x86_adventures.htm

Interesting question. For Bitcoin it would be difficult because of the small amount of data (except for maybe 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0), but what about i2p, IPFS, etc?

For many projects, the <30 minutes required to switch to another provider and source control software is more than they consider it to be worth.

Unfortunately "we'll fix it for you" isn't nearly enough unless you have 100 dedicated employees waiting at their keyboards for requests for the one "test" user you're hiring. Even environments like Erlang
