It feels backwards to me from a purely linear time perspective, you have an input, transform it, diff would be the patch, to the desired output.

Since the abstraction is NFS for access, I wonder what the advantage over EFS is. Or more, why not just leverage this under EFS if it was a straight improvement. Compression and snapshots seem like some of the biggest wins over current EFS.

I thought JAMF was Apple Only Ecosystem as well. So it's a lateral movement from the perspective of heterogeneous set of devices, but if you had to go with Apple or third party, given the same features and limitations, most would go first party.

Apps Getting Worse 5 years ago

What’s the point of downloading songs for offline use if you can’t even navigate to them?

So you can listen to them without consuming potentially expensive mobile data.

Much later than these, but I remember quite fondly all the DOOR BBS RPGs and games on our local BBSes in the mid 90s. I would come home from school, grab the really long phone cable coiled up, and run it across the house to the kitchen so I could log on.

At least in California, they can't make the choice to purchase alcohol or cigarettes until 21. The more the science links football to permanent health effect, the harder it is to sustain the logic to let them play as "consenting adults". Say nothing of the lengths to cover up some of these effects by the NFL and probably the NCAA.

Welcome to C# 9.0 6 years ago

I think this clarification proves his point, and I tend to agree that I prefer the more explicit, verbose style.

The claim is not that every output has a unique input, which would not be correct, and seems to be what you are addressing.

Seinfeld Adventure 6 years ago

Maybe, but they did explicitly state that's not what they want to do.

We don’t want to just create a fan service game that repeats jokes or plots that people already are familiar with. We will write a brand new story revolving around the Seinfeld characters designed to work in this medium, remaining faithful to the tone and themes of the show.

I think rather it's a revenue issue, until relatively recently there was no way to profit from updated games, so you're better off moving on to the sequel, or next year's edition of the game. Also a lot of the video game development culture likely stems from console releases, which again until "recently" could not be updated (only new versions of disks/carts for future customers) so it was not feasible to plan for future maintenance, beyond what was necessary for derived codebases.

A signature doesn't have to be protected from malicious removal. If a bad actor removes it (or modifies it), then the video can no longer be validated and is considered compromised/unknown (which may be the same thing depending on how important validity is). DeCSS was removal of encryption, not signature, which is a whole different set of concerns and goals.

Hello, GitHub 8 years ago

If you look at how the Xamarin acquisition went, this seems like a likely outcome.

C# and Python (for examples) don't use getters and setters, they use properties which provide the same interface as direct access variables when the need arises for more complexity, client code doesn't need to know about it. Languages without this feature needs to make everything getter/setter if they don't want to break the API when something needs additional logic.

Definitely, updated source codes will be online later today.

And the Desktop client[1] is kept very up to date. My biggest complaint is that they have stopped updating the API documentation [2] which has lead me to become a rather lukewarm telegram developer (though I still have a few projects I am work with)
