everyone thinks that adding a ton of extra complexity in the guise of a simpler api will make it more maintainable.
in this example you now have 4 events under the hood and two event dispatchers. but it seem simpler because you only "see" two and one dispatcher.
while it may make things just a little bit simpler to maintain you may enter debug hell when there's bugs on that added under the hood complexity... which will often be a code you're unfamiliar. making the article main argument (helping on debugging edge case bugs) kind of two edged
and nice project and documentation of it! thank you a lot for sharing.
wasn't a commercial success.
today one brand still has one line that supposedly sell in the usa but i can't find it anywhere.

or download from a source you trust and compare hash from another trustworthy source. just like anything you download. unless you run gentoo, but then how do you trust your sources, etc
and if you have a closed source phone os that only allows to install from their store... well you have to learn to crawl before you walk.
really. how this person considers himself a journalist? or even a blogger?
the central argument appears to be patents, yet not even the titles are mentioned.
where do you think? you just follow the same desire to belong by being efficiently obedient. that's exactly what the post you're replying to said.
ironically, the short story starship troopers tried to highlight that same point, and it also is seen as enlistment propaganda because that whole thing is so effective in us humans that while you're reading it you fall prey.
" In the 1980s the functionality of a microcomputer was determined at least as much by its firmware in ROM as by its hardware. The Apple MacIntosh might have had a similar hardware architecture to the Atari ST, but each had its own different operating system in ROM.
Of course there were those brave people who would replace the ROM chips inside their computers by ROMs they had programmed themselves, so they could regain complete control over their machines, which was lost when the front panel had disappeared. Coreboot is just such an endeavor. "
it's nice that everyone can compile an android rom, but with closed drivers and proprietary boot managers we are in that precarious state...
"what do you mean your bank own your home? what if it goes under?"
"what? you pay your car every month, are required to pay the most expensive insurance, and in the end the dealership still owns your car?"
... my guess is that in America anything that makes you pay a little less will have consumers. nobody cares about a bookcase full of old paper as you do. also i think that when the thing matures past the amateurs like EA we will see companies buying rights from other just like it happens with mortgage. apple went under with its flopped Newton watch? amazon buys all its drm licenses and continue to give you access to your media in hopes that your new purchases will come her way.
remember the history about why ctrl f in outlook is not search? this is the same.
probably someone was working a smart system to see when the game either had purchases or players dropped, and was working out a clever way to weed out the pay to win one... then one founder got fed up on pay to win bejeweled and dictated everything with in game purchases is now paid, even if it's just a donate button or skins.
