It's about time. I remember finally getting my subscription canceled what must have been 7 years ago by now. That was a happy day. And those were the "good" days of this whole thing!

I have 2000 Saturn with 220,000 on it. It has been amazingly solid and low TCO.
Of course, they don't make them anymore, so your point stands. They don't make them like they used to.
Unix has been my favorite dev platform since I first used it 30 years ago. I'm typing this on a Mac, which also does just fine. But I'm happiest on my Linux box. Even WSL was OK, but the bloat of Windows overpowers the hardware. My Linux daily driver is a 9-year-old laptop that couldn't handle Windows any longer.
I'm on the "OK but keep an eye on it" train, here.
Devs need feedback to know how people are using the product, and opt-out tracking is the best way to do it. In this case, it seems like my personal data is completely unidentifiable.
I was coding in the IE6 era, so I'd really prefer to not end up in a browser engine monoculture again.
Since I moved my stuff off Google Drive, Libreoffice has been super useful. Great work.
Meta has had this feature for years.

After that Facebook won't control the political content on your feed.
SERP = Search Engine Results Pages
In case you're like me and didn't know.
My simple home page is 10 KB now. And you might not think that's such a big deal, but it has more content than Google's search page and that rings in at a couple MB IIRC. 😁
Hadn't tried it before, but went through the tutorial. Seems like a good editor; only modal editors for me, you know? :) I'll probably stick with Vim for now, but it seems like something to watch.
The old C++ FAQ book was over 500 pages, and that was decades ago. Those were the "frequent" questions.
I drove deep into C, a much simpler language, and there's all kinds of wild stuff in there that most C devs don't know. Of course, it's not applicable to 99.9999% of C programming, so who practically cares, but to learn 100% of C++? I don't have that kind of time.
That said, it's totally possible to learn enough C++ that covers 99.9999% of its use cases.
Another approach to thinking about it is that draw()
does two things. 1) it draws the line that's 1
shorter than itself, then 2) it draws itself.
The for
loop happens after it draws the line that's 1
shorter than itself.

I guess some people just have different priorities than I do. :)
Some comedian, I don't recall who, talking about his "job interview":
"Are you good with the Microsoft Office suite?"
"I excel at it."
"...Did you just make an Office pun?"
"Word."
I've been using LibreOffice for ages. It's been excellent--a most impressive project.
It would be nice if people finally reject the idea that X and FB are "The Internet".
It would be excellent if he could get fully funded through Patreon. I chipped in a bit, and I don't even use it--looks like a cool approach, though. There have to be enough enthusiasts out there to pitch in enough cups of coffee to cover his dev time.
Nostalgia city...
This is a bummer to hear since I have the 4A and it's out of support. (Google support terms suck, especially since the phone is still going strong.) I was going to buy a used 6 or 7--but that sounds like not a super-great plan. Or maybe... GrapheneOS?
Potential Microsoft power play if this happens: ban Chrome from Office 365 and gain a pile of market share in a day. 😅
IA is definitely on shaky legal ground here. But as far as I'm concerned, they're in the right.
