Im building a calendar for my car navigation system https://e39.dev
Last winter I built a Matrix client for it. This time around I want to wrap Akonadi with a DBus shim and consume that model in custom calendar widgets and UX I’m making for a rotary knob ui.
I want to run the same app on an intel atom tablet on the side of my fridge, with a Griffin PowerMate hooked up to it for input.
That’s misleading. You’re talking about the ban on naked shorts.

Every user isn’t just a zero marginal cost copy of the software, having a user base is taking a gamble on support requests, bugs, FAQs.
There’s a risk with a user base and having a support organization, much like the risk calculation the insurance industry takes.

I think luxury goods, and the privilege of living within your means, is to be able to buy goods and instantly depreciate them.
I buy electronics equipment, computers, furniture, clothes, and cars with the mindset I will be the last owner of them, and they will have no resale value.
“I bought this, and I will assume it’s instantly worthless”
It keeps me from buying the same thing twice and causes me to save up for the thing I really want, and keep it for as long as possible. It also lets me be picky about my preferences and really scope out exactly what I want on a relaxed timeframe.
Perhaps it’s a side effect of growing up with hand me downs, and knowing anything our family owned was one step to junk, but it does keep spending in check now that I am doing okay in my career.
As a Canadian, “better than Exceeding” sounds like an American construction.
I’d imagine the scale to be: 1. Not Meeting Expectations 2. Meeting Expectations 3. Exceeding expectations
What about the .de TLD?
But we could, facetiously, do a rewrite every two weeks in a time box and call it agile.
Except the space (opportunity cost) of building more housing
This is rage farming. Parent post says using a limited tool well is fine, can lead to good results.

Whether or not the author is limited by his perception of iPad’s ability is needless hair-splitting.
Wow that’s a pile-on.
“What works for you only works for you, so you might not have discovered that it works for anything else, but only if you were really paying attention.”
I don’t know who you are or why you’d describe him this way, but your post doesn’t contribute to the discussion.
Yes, a voice of commonwealth reason. Not everywhere is an at-will employment type of place, and it’s refreshing to see people be reminded that employee rights exist in parts of the world and that employment isn’t a one-way street.
In summary: life was better in the 90s because you were unaware.
Cue oddly specific example of “The Ukraine” and “rocket volley”.
Next, the highlight that informal communities that make their own echo chambers are more popular as distrust in established media is sown.
Finally, a personal anecdote that echo chambers curate more attention-getting articles.
Nothing in this post is especially truthy or falsey, yet it serves up mild “distrust the media” nihilism.

The other HN tell I’ve started seeing in work chats is excessive italics. I’m not five, I know the gravity of what you’re writing.
For example, often HN users need to scold their readers into a hair-splitting debate around semantics.
The other one I’ve seen is pretend-gaslighting-as-begging-the-question:
“Can we all stop pretending that object-oriented programming is an efficient way to build software?”
The “no, you” of discourse and debate.
I know this article is about Strang from the context of his retirement a few weeks ago, but the title is clickbait.
I’ve been in this relationship. If someone knows what to say to hurt you, and uses it with precision to cause that hurt, they’re not on your team, even if their criticism isn’t “baseless”.
In the professional world, giving feedback with tact and respect for the contributor is what we get paid for and enables a team to contribute to the company’s success.
If someone on the team doesn’t feel like they’re treated with respect, even when their work needs improvement, it doesn’t matter whether the feedback was given with good or bad intentions.
I wonder if the workaround you mentioned in your second paragraph is bait Microsoft left for Google PMs?
Yep. The really neat part of their port is their weird DMA/scan program architecture. It works for them, and is a decent way to work around what (I would assume) is a toolkit that needs a frame buffer instead of computing the line on the fly from a draw list.
Aggressive equivocation.
I’ve worked at such a company.
What about Linux? Are you saying running an nvidia driver is an extra setup step? Or something else entirely?

The Qbasic GUI community was super tight knit back in 2005ish.
Classic hangouts at jacobpalm.dk, reviews by Todd Seuss at Data Components.
Halcyon days.
I got my start writing one of the guis that was reviewed by MystikShadows on Pete's QB Site... Making things appear on the screen was so exciting. Now I kinda do the same thing, but with Jetpack Compose in the automotive space.
