You can certainly argue that, but that's not what Open Source or Free Software has ever been. It's about your freedoms as a user, you are always free to fork with a different model…

2/4 had massive growth in the 50s/60s/70s (KL and Singapore). I'll give you Montevideo and San Juan, but let's not pretend it's just timing that made Houston the way it is. It's a …

Swift and C# appear to have this feature, though they use the syntax fetch(accountId, history: true, details: false);

It's worth watching, but tl;dw he used an LLM to pick words with similar meaning that make the lines the same length.

Basic with ads is $6.99. Basic is $9.99.

I mean, between consecutive standard releases not as much changes; it's pretty clear that they're the same language with some slight differences/new features. I think the point is …

I don't see the original comment saying anything's wrong with it. It's an older way of doing things, sure, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I actually quite like the way it'…

It is absolutely normalized

® is the symbol for "registered trademark" though?

Classic Blunders: 1. Never get involved in a land war in Asia 2. Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line 3. Never communicate through the filesystem

> and, yunno, a Flatpak What's wrong with Flatpak? I've had fewer problems with flatpak than with AppImage personally.

The Model T was released over a decade prior to the point mentioned in the article. Sure cars weren't the staple of American life they are today, but they were definitely accessibl…
