Blue! No, YELLLLLLOOoooooowwwwwwww!
If two friends both had that policy, it'd be a standoff. They'd never get to talk on the phone.
Of course, by that standard, someone with an iPad with a keyboard attached (the ones that are part of a case/cover) could just as easily consider their keyboard "permanent".
Counter-counterpoint would be, Apple becomes a customer of the API, and then someone else (Google, Facebook, whoever) buys Dark Sky and Apple has to scramble. I'm bitter too, I build my own local/remote weather station…
Luxury. We just had one bit and we could only turn it on and off. And it was a timesharing system, so you had to share that one bit with 13 other programmers.
Lately I've been streaming a couple different classical stations (KUSC and KPBS Classical, which is a feed from Classical 24), and I get push notifications from several different local news apps when the city and county…
My first language was Basic (first on an HP-2000 timesharing system and then on the Apple II), but my second language was 6502 assembly, something for which I will be forever grateful - with the groundwork laid by…
For a humorous taste of a limited language, without venturing outside of English, Randall Munroe (the XKCD guy) has a book called, "Thing Explainer", that's a sort of encyclopedia written using only the 1,000 most…

No, that was a network, but it was very much not the Internet. Different technologies. Per Wikipedia, "The Internet (portmanteau of interconnected network) is the global system of interconnected computer networks that…
Before the Internet there was Usenet and a world-wide network network of machines connected together via UUCP, doing email and such over point-to-point dialup (modem) links. Sending mail was a matter of knowing a…
IIRC, the Pencil 2 requires different (and likely more expensive) support in the screen, as well as docking to the side of the iPad and charging magnetically - both of which raise the costs for the iPad. And then the…
FORTH LOVE IF HONK THEN
And yet... someone trying to “sell” me a language while seemingly refusing to show me any code samples feels like someone trying to sell me a car based entirely on a spec sheet with no pictures and without actually…
Need to age a few of the drives by a hundred hours before putting them in the set.

On second thought, let us not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
> I can't think of any reason I would want half my list indexes to be wrong in my source file. Agreed. The bit about "oh, well, it fixes mistakes if you rearrange items" falls in the astonishing (in a bad way) camp far…
To be fair, his use case was/is for writing very simple things (blurbs on his blog), that simply don't get into painful corner cases. It's a simple tool that works great - for simple things. It can fail hard on more…
Hitting far above its weight in this category is autocorrect (my wife took to calling it autocarrot in a small act of rebellion), which "helpfully" corrects millions of painstakingly correctly-spelled obscure words into…
The "solution" is to make it "not a list" by escaping every first "." in your first example with a backslash. Yeah, this one _is_ annoying. I'm not one to post chess games, but I've run into this one a bunch in other…
YouTube keeps offering YouTubeTV and their other services with pop-up boxes where the two choices are "yes", or "skip trial", which sounds like they're offering a yes/yes choice: yes sign up for the trial, or skip the…
And while one such data point pair isn't conclusive, getting, say, a dozen matching pairs might identify a user with high enough correlation to be useful.
On the other hand, it has been suggested that quite a few deaths that are actually suicide using a gun get reported as "gun cleaning accident", presumably to lessen the impact on relatives (however slightly).
