I mean they did switch from objective c. At some point they might switch again if it makes sense.

I mean, after some almost 40 years. If 40 years from now, hell, even 20, Apple abandoned the language I’m not sure I care about the risk.

And that’s not to say they don’t support objective-c still. It just hasn’t been actively developed with new features.

Pretty sure I know what music player you're talking about because I have the same requirement.

Sony's modern Walkman is an Android device. No thanks.

For what it’s worth I love mine. I have app pinning enabled in android so it’s completely locked to just my music app. Feels like a great compromise of customizability while also feeling like an all in one device

They can do too much stuff, so it’s yet another do-anything device to have to police.

So install a dumbed down launcher and put it in kiosk mode? Thatll lock things down pretty heavily.

Better? It just needs to be cheaper I think.

The US tech power is a bit like the US political soft power, it's there because it's huge and has momentum but it's not like it'll be here forever, especially given the current trajectory

Libre Office is literally free and has never competed for significant market share in 30 years.

It has to be better

I live in Lincoln, so about 50 miles south of Omaha. I think a crucial point left out by the author here may be the massive (at least perceived) demographic disparities between Omaha and Council Bluffs.

Council Bluffs is a vastly less financially successful city than Omaha with far more visible opioid problems.

That is to say, as a local, I don’t know if I would associate the term as much with demeaning “hillbillies or hicks” but more for the socioeconomic and drug disparities between the two cities.

I don’t know if the drug disparity is so large between them, but it certainly feels more visible in Council Bluffs. Maybe why we don’t see the -tucky suffix used as much with other twin cities is that St Paul and Fort Worth are still quite successful metropolitan areas in their own right.

That’s much older than when Zuckerberg founded Facebook. Also older than when Bill Gates founded Microsoft, Steve Jobs founded Apple, and Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google. We’re talking about running a tech company, not being a politician. Clearly there’s no need to be 50+ and have a bunch of “life experiences” to be successful.

Founding a faang and growing it provides a very different set of life experiences than being a startup owner thrust into it.

I wish people would stop promoting the singleton pattern: in almost every case I’ve seen, singletons are unnecessary tech debt and solve a problem that’s better solved with some form of dependency injection (and I don’t mean the XML/YAML monstrosities various frameworks force on you but rather constructor arguments or factory functions)
hokumguru · 2 months ago
Off the top of my head, rails (currentattributes), Laravel (facades) especially, and most iOS apps use singletons quite well. It’s all in moderation and depends highly on how it’s used, much like every other design pattern.

I think people just don’t like Singletons because they’ve been especially misused in the past but I guarantee the same argument stands for any other design pattern.

I thought they're just shutting down because it wasn't worth running the servers anymore.

Last I heard they self hosted. Far as I understand it’s incredibly cheap for them to host. Especially since they’ve been completely cannibalized.

I'm an https://getaurora.dev user and I agree uBlue is awesome. I'd like to create a custom image too, but it doesn't seem quite as easy as you say: https://youtube.com/watch?v=IxBl11Zmq5w

While the video is long, the actual process of setting everything up only took me about 20 minutes. The template they offer is extremely convenient.
