@C0D4 I also own both, but Google Assistant makes the Pixel experience eek it out in my opinion
Even if you are wanting the locked down experience Android is still better imo. The phone can do more things. It can screen calls, wait on hold for you and let you know when the call has been taken off hold (so if you are on the phone with your utility company and stuck waiting you can do other stuff while the phone waits for you). Translation is better. Google Assistant understands Hindi (which Siri does not).
And Tasker on Android is a big win. I think if you use it you'll find it hard to go back to iOS. -
This is how software used to be, especially b2b. I don't mind. It actually makes sense if you think about it

Is Flutter any better? Looking to jump ship for greener pastures...

@Wisecrack That will only last till a leader comes along who dislikes the idea and connects it to "terrorists" or "hatemongers".
Print media, radio, television, all trended this way. Nothing tells me the Internet is special -
Yeah this era of free expression on the Internet is fleeting, very soon we will all be having to toe the line of whatever some dictator or "president" deems acceptable discourse and our access to the internet will be given only in exchange for our loyalty. People will remember this era fondly, I think, but it won't last.

Can't you use like a UPNP server and VNC/MPV to keep all your movies and music streaming from the cloud to wherever you are?

This person is saying that after whitehatjr Indian parents will badger their kids that their neighbors' son solved the problem with O(n) performance so why could you only solve it with O(n^2) performance
Idk what is whitehatjr though -
@SortOfTested Indian post is really bad. Half my mail there gets sent back. EDIT: I get it, OP is from Sri Lanka, thought the stickers come from there, my bad!
-
Reminds me of after notebandi when a million fly by night e-wallets popped up in India and so many of them had gaping security flaws (http-only web login on an e-wallet site was my favorite).
Eventually the police had to tell people to avoid public WiFi, and even judges ended up losing lakhs of money in the scams

It makes my devops strategy better because I end up automating all my interactions with AWS so I don't have to use the web portal :)
-
Actually sums it up quite perfectly!
-
I like the new notification tray icon though. Silver lining on a dark cloud.

@electrineer So just as the record companies give MTV distribution rights for music videos, if I record MTV at home and watch it later. Nothing wrong with that. Why is it wrong with YouTube?
-
Is the list duplicated?
-
@frogstair But what about the music video? Can you even buy those? And if they were to air on network TV, couldn't I TiVo/DVR those videos and watch them at home any time?
-
@frogstair small point. That license grants exclusive rights to YouTube to distribute and reproduce the content. If you as a user download the videos and do not distribute them, it's not a violation of the license or the terms of service. Similar to how recording movies on your VCR was not illegal.
-
You will also find a mirror at the internet archive's way back machine. Most Linux distribution mirrors will also have the youtube-dl package (from which the source code can be extracted). Best of luck

I see lots of apps crash but this one never crashed for me on Android. Handles app notifications, comes back from background / killing perfectly.
-
Me too! A really great book written in an excellent, easy-to-grasp style :)
-
Sure great idea. Why not.
If you have some special use case then look around at languages / frameworks you don't know. But for most sites, go with the tools you know -
Get a 4 year comp sci degree. Eventually when a website gets big enough, a lot of their engineering problems have little to do with web development and more to do with stuff you can't learn in a full stack bootcamp.
-
I changed it back. I really dislike this controlling language idea all these "woke" companies have got these days. I can't help but think it will drive people in the opposite direction they intend...
-
I find playwright just works™ for me these days. It's a lot like selenium but less boilerplate, less wondering why your automation is getting stuck and how long to wait for X and Y element to appear and disappear etc. Supports the main browsers. Worth looking at!
If you're trying to automate Windows office apps, I like automagica for that -
@SortOfTested actually I mentioned this briefly in my original comment "(those that did get a seed round at all)". It's more helpful to compare equivalent scenarios.
if you just look at total dollar volume invested over thirty years, you lose the fact that only about 20% of startups (in 2019) have a woman founder at all.
That graph at the bottom of your comment shows in the range of 13-17% of VC dollars in the past 5 years went to teams with women. Only 20% of all teams have women on them. So it's not the same as women getting 2-3% of what men get. It's more like women get 90% of what men get. -
@SortOfTested Just for clarity's sake, in your article, the 2-3% number you gave is over the last thirty years of venture capital and it only applies to startups with an all-female founding team (which are a small percentage of all startups).
If you compare female teams to male teams (rather than % of total since less women found companies than men) and compare only in the previous year, the numbers are different.
In 2019, all-female founding teams averaged a $1.2 million seed round (those that did get a seed round at all). Mixed teams and all-male founded teams averaged a $1.35 million seed round. Over all rounds of funding, all-female teams raise 13% less than all-male teams and 10% less than mixed teams (when you compare evenly across rounds).
13% is less but it's not as if a man will earn a $1 million dollar seed round and a woman will get a $3000 dollar seed round (2-3%)

@N00bPancakes I like those right bottom corner action button things :/
-
@donuts no, I just have an Android phone :)
-
Google already does this with their Live Caption feature on android. And their Pixel phones can automatically transcribe voice notes and translate audio in real time (i.e. as you are speaking)
-
Perhaps you can use a GitHub action to automatically run a code formatter which applies the suggestions from the linter on every commit? Then it doesn't matter if he has linting issues or not when he commits code.
-
@SortOfTested Yeah that aggravated me more than anything, it was humbling me pretty hard. Apparently you can't even view what files stored on an iPhone! I wasn't prepared for that!
