+ Really good idea to make use of the electricity in other ways than just driving. (generators, lamps, etc.)

+ 10 hours covers up a good day in field.

- a lot of farms are away from electricity sources to charge and sometimes internet connection is non-existent. It is risky to leave a 50k machine on its own to do its job. And what to do if battery runs out on the field?

- how long does it take to recharge? A lot of farmers will not have fast charges on their farm.

I just checked the link on their website where this screenshot was taken, and it made me smile. They replaced the honest description of the features with politically correct versions. Sad to see that some people still think these shady tactics would increase team productivity in 2020.

Really interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing. You might be right about new generation’s focus shift. If that is true, an interesting future is waiting for us when it comes to business/work software.

I think they will hold on as long as they can to release it for Linux.

You are right that they are a commercial software company but they are trying to keep the Windows as "the platform" for enterprise companies otherwise it will be too hard for them to sell everything as a package.

office 365 for web is unfortunately not the same experience.

One of the few things that are left for end-users to not to switch to Linux is the Office product. I am almost sure that Microsoft is not releasing it on purpose because they are afraid of losing a big chunk of their customers to Linux.

This whole setup doesnt make sense for me. Flying as a whole is not that comfy even if you are flying first class. Pack + taxi + controls + wait in lounge + wait boarding and etc.

I believe not needing to fly is more luxurious life than flying. If your job requires you to fly, than business class is there just for that purpose :) (company pays)

As soon as you hit some kind of limit it will abort the process and output the error. So you will be notified about it and it wont go unnoticed. And if you only use it during compile and deploy then you are at no risk :)

(ps: bad grammar, on mobile)

You can save back your 5$/month by increasing your machine’s swap space. I did the same when more memory was only required for compiling.

Interesting article but title is pretty bad. Amount of users have risen for these kind of phones not because they are the new iPhones, but because pay-gap between countries have stood same while technology reached all over the world. Everyone wants to chat and send pictures of loved ones to each other, but while someone is earning 4-5 thousand dollars a month, another one is earning 80 dollars a month. Companies know this and try to make the best possible device possible for the situation.

I would not disagree :) and i think they came up with unlimited data plans just to label bytes in the future. And they are already doing that. You can already buy a plan with 10gb Facebook + 10gb whatever you want. Makes me sad.

There is only one justified reason for phone companies to check if you are using your phone as a router, and that is when they provide unlimited data to your contract. Unlimited data is provided given that you are going to use it on your personal devices and not to act as an ISP to everyone around you. Other than that you generally pay for X GB of data and it is none of their business how you spend it.

Touch screen is almost essential for navigation functionality. It makes life easier in car while not driving as well. I think what manufacturers should focus on is to implement touch screen functions on the driver side as physical controls. This way driver does not need to reach for the screen.

Most of them probably will work on other browsers with user-agent switching. But i do not want to hack it and risk having a problem in middle of my work. They can easily inject something that is only available in chrome and there goes my video conference :)

It is funny how my browser preferences has changed over last 5 years.

2014 me as a developer had Chrome as number 1 browser for both development and all rest. Firefox once a month just to check cross browser compatibility. And Safari was just installed without me using it.

2019 me uses Safari for everything except development. Excellent power consumption and UX. Firefox for development. And lastly Chrome for all web apps that only work on Chrome. ( Google Meet etc. ) I feel much much better that I am not dependent on chrome.

Google should know that they have very little credit left on my side. When I read the this article, I immediately think about the ways on how they can still keep tracking me.

- Check the latest user status after 3 months before deleting user history.

- Compare it with the previous 3 months and update the difference ona separate table that are not facing the end user.

- Scrub location and web history from user facing database.

It saddens me now that all google apps on my mobile phone are no longer allowed to access nothing. I try to only grant access if i really need to. This is how it became unfortunately.

"Notarization is not App Review. The Apple notary service is an automated system that scans your software for malicious content, checks for code-signing issues, and returns the results to you quickly"

If they truly mean this, and only check done is for malicious content then it does not sound that bad except the ~100$ developer account each year to be paid to Apple. Tim Cook needs to be aware of developers being one of the main legs when it comes to creating a happy user base. If he treats them as second class citizens, then making shareholders happy will not last long.

Yes, consent must be given, and it should be a positive action. Inaction, pre-checked boxes does not qualify.

GDPR is good for you. It is for your benefit to be able choose what is stored on the website about you.

It is the websites that are making the banner look so annoying just to make you quickly click "OK, I agree" button.

Really good point about use case specifications. I sure will be researching my options. Thanks!

Idea was to prevent licence violation. It is hard to do anything as an individual against companies that violates OSS licences. But since then I learned much more about licensing, and I think I changed my mind. I won't be mentioning any specific entity.

Thanks a lot for going into details. Since then I learned a lot about copyleft, GNU GPLv3, and much more. Maybe mentioning a company name in a licence is not really what I need after all.

Things are not always black and white as you are stating it to be. I just want to know if there is anything like this done before or is it possible/right to do it.

I am also open to listening why i shouldn't go this route, but not the way you are trying to do it.

I understand and thanks for your reply.

"must not discriminate against any person or group of persons"

Do you think "group of persons" is same as mentioning of a company name?

I am just trying to find a proper/correct solution to achieve this problem.

No problem at all! I am also a ruby guy, so i can easily say that Elixir will not disappoint you.

I am not advocating for the company but it might be something like this;

Handling of same amount of users comparing to their competitors with a software stack that requires %70 less employees to run will give them enough room to lower their product price comparing to others. Imagine If they can keep it this way X number of years, then they will be able to eliminate their competition.

Start here --> https://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/introduction.html

You will start feeling the magic around chapter 4 with pattern matching and the rest gets just better :)

Try not to migrate your "how to .." thoughts from other languages into Elixir. It has some uniqe ways to solve everyday problems.

Have your interactive elixir console ready to play with as well, good luck!

Basic functionality works fine on Safari as well. Just change the UA.

I think Luxottica CEO himself explained the whole situation in 1 second 7 years ago, and it is spot on (Not saying it is how it should be).

Listen for yourself.

I wonder what will people do with all the money when there is so little left to enjoy on planet.

There are tens of attributes that can be used to identify you and generate a unique id of it. Cookies are just the 101.

Canvas fingerprinting, extensions, screen resolution and etc.

I read it somewhere that FB is pre-creating profiles for those who haven't even created a FB account yet (Face recognition and etc).

Avoid using it.
