Please be kind and rewind!

But just wait until all consumer image display and capture devices start using invisible-to-the-naked-eye watermarking and content protection, only allowing you to photograph sources which have explicitly granted permission to be photographed. :-)

Click the triangle icon next to that question to see the answer. :-)

Appreciate the feedback. For some reason I feel like I dismissed this as an option at one point, but that was long ago. I'll take another look!

Thanks for the info. I haven't looked at this in a while. I'll take another look!

Same. I wish there were an alternative (a practical pocket computer), but there really isn't. So I too gave up on fighting my phone, and have also completely stopped doing mobile development. I now treat my phone essentially as an untrusted, prepackaged walled garden with limited utility. :-/

Hah! This resonated with me. Maybe I'm just "getting old", but I fail to understand the value of 99% of this stuff...

Hah! IIRC, it was a binary tree of some sort.

Because everything is buggy these days. ;-)

Apologies for the late reply (too busy!), but thank you for your response. I appreciate it!

I always find advice like this a little confusing. A lot of these things seem (to me) to be none of the engineers' business.

To me, engineers receive specs from management and implement solutions that meet those specs. And that's it.

I suppose my personal experience must not be how things work elsewhere! Kind of fascinating, and it makes me wonder if people enjoy all this extra responsibility and how things go when engineers disagree with management.

"The central planning system, while intended to ensure equitable distribution, was riddled with inefficiencies and mismanagement."

I'm shocked. *Shocked*, I say!

My impression was always that this was an east/west-coast thing. I could be wrong!

Probably. Everyone has also long since forgotten the original purpose of HTML! ;-)

I keep clicking on Elm stories, thinking they're going to be about Elm the email client... :-)

No.

yup, same here.

I've seen a lot of new developers shocked by this approach, which surprises me a little. They seem to think that it's up to the application to handle all errors, even those of the programmer(s). This, of course, is unreasonable since it would essentially require knowing all the bugs in advance. :-)

Incidentally, my plumber comes packing. :-)

Yup. They were only interesting to me for 2-3 years. :-)

I thought they were pretty useful until roughly the mid-'90s. They seemed to go into full hype mode at that point, IIRC... I cancelled my sub around that time.

FYI, somewhat related:

We were, but society has resurrected it for cynical political reasons.

Thanks for the tip. I'd never come across this channel before, but I now love it!

In general, I think a large part of academia is basically "toe the line or get out". And I've worked in academia for 28 years.

> These people know literally nothing about human perception

I'm sure there's a legitimate way to interpret this statement, but it still made me scratch my head a bit. :-)

Thus "for the modern age"... ;-)
