You can ask the same question about Python 2 and Python 3.
You're absolutely right. That's why I don't use Python for anything large or involved either. There's no point writing anything larger than a few basic scripts when a language is going to pull the rug out from under you in almost every major version.
Sounds like they need to change their name to Digital Suicide, cause that's basically what they did. I have no idea who they were before, but I certainly won't be buying anything from them now.
Angular 1 first solved the problem of how to develop for an emerging web,"
*What* "emerging web"? The web has been around for decades now. The only thing that's changed is the fact that there are now even more unnecessary layers of javascript on top of everything than there was before.
"Six years later, the challenges faced by today's application developers, and the sophistication of the devices that applications must support, have both changed immensely."
Yeah, because asshats like you keep reinventing the wheel and forcing everyone to relearn what they already knew, throwing away hard won lessons in the process, and resulting in poorer quality code overall because no particular language or API seems to last long enough anymore for people to become proficient enough in it to deal with all the inevitable bugs.
Why even call it Angular if it's completely incompatible with the previous version?
This article is completely pointless. Comparing the dollar value of the entire "religious industry" by summing up anything even vaguely related to religion, and comparing it to two companies, is flat out nonsensical, and demonstrates nothing at all.
Stupid article is stupid, and not even worth the time to read, let alone argue about it.
I ran into an issue where incoming calls when straight to voicemail. I don't know for sure if this problem was caused by iOS 10, or something else. I don't receive many calls.
Regardless, I tried various troubleshooting step including rebooting the device (regular power off/on), resetting the device (holding power and home until it restarted), and resetting my network settings (General->Reset->Reset Network Settings).
What ended up working for me was to simply eject the SIM card, wait a couple seconds, and plug it back in. Didn't even need to reboot. I think the carrier settings got scrambled somehow, or something.
Now the only thing I'm miffed about was missing out on the whole Huge/Butt thing. Damn censors work way too quick.
Ignoring all the pros and cons about improvements in Edge's functionality, there is one very simple reason why I will never use it. Well, apart from not using Windows 10. I still remember what Microsoft did with IE6, and I will never give them the chance to do it again.
They simply can't be trusted. Windows 10 is strong evidence that they haven't learned a damn thing.
Smartwatches still have yet to make a significant impression on consumers as a must-have device,"
Correction:
Smartwatches have yet to be anything more than grossly overpriced novelties with stupidly poor battery life.
I'm actually interested in the Pebble, cause you can get up to 10 days of use out of it per charge, which is 9 days more than pretty much everything out there, short of actual normal watches.
FYI, I installed the OTA upgrade last night. Apart from taking a while, it ran without so much as a single hitch. One important detail possibly worth mentioning, is that I deleted/uninstalled a bunch of unimportant stuff first, so that I had approx 2GB available when I did the install. I know previous OTA updates had issues when there was insufficient space available.
On the face of it, this seems like a questionable move because people are just going to complain about Samsung "stealing" their battery life.
And personally, if people insist on using a device that has a much better than usual chance of killing them, I'd say no problem. We need to stop protecting people from their own stupidity.
But the amount of property damage that an exploding device can cause is pretty darn high, and there's an excellent chance that the property that is damaged doesn't belong to the device's owner. (ie: a store, a hotel room, anywhere someone may try to sneak in a charge so they can get an extra 5 minutes of Pokemon Go time) Should that happen, it won't be the device owner they go after, it will be Samsung.
Following the logic, I can see the entire device banned from use (IIRC the FAA has already done so), and even if they put out a fixed version, it will *still* need to be banned because no one would be able to tell if a given device has been replaced or not, so all of them would have to be considered suspect.
So I see this as a CYA move because people can't be trusted to not be idiots and do the right thing.
While this is a great technology, this doesn't solve the actual problem.
The whole reason Net Neutrality is even an issue, is because of corporate greed. ISPs (at least the big ones) want to be able to double-dip by charging both their customers AND content providers for using their network. They can't deny traffic outright to entities that don't pay, cause that would be universally considered to be a Bad Move(tm), but they feel that they can get away with the whole, "That's some good data you have there. It'd be a pity to see it slow down."
That's the one and ONLY reason Net Neutrality is even an issue. The internet *already* had what amounts to Net Neutrality, baked into it's system from day one.
One would think that after decades of OS upgrades that have failed miserably, whether it's Windows, iOS, what have you, people would learn to take a full backup of their machine/phone/whatever before doing a major upgrade. (Or hell, even a "minor" one now, considering the hell Win10 Anniv. Ed. put people through).
I'm going to go ahead and update, but I'm gonna go home and do a full backup of my devices first.
I don't know why people are so upset. With the number of people on here who vehemently complain about having to pay taxes for various unimportant services like public schooling, they should be entirely in favour of a rich entity gaming the system in order to make themselves more money.
I mean, that's what the US is all about, right? Personal profit at the expense of everyone else? Well, this is just more of the same. So what if an industry body is powerful enough to skew public policy to their own advantage? It made them more money, and I'm sure all the people that have suffered as a result are rejoicing at the Sugar Industry's cleverness and wishing they thought of it (and had the money to pull it off) first!
Remember, it's all fair and good as long as it's not you who is getting screwed over.

Sure, I would love to pay 100x market price for equivalent service without any value-add! Really!

LOL I got modded flamebait.
Someone either hates their Pebble, or disagrees that watches should have more than a day of battery life. :P

I ran into the problem again today.... and that's when I discovered I had accidentally enabled Do Not Disturb and didn't notice.
For all I know this was the problem the other day too, and the act of removing my phone from it's case flipped the switch off again.
That's a reminder to ALWAYS do sanity checks, even if you think you're too smart to make such a stupid mistake.
I'm sure even Einstein forgot to carry the 1 now and then.
Depends on where you ask. ;)

But would someone think of the poor prostates?
*snaps rubber glove* All right sir, this will only take a moment. Just try to relax...
They must be adding keyword blocks at a breakneck pace right now.
This sucks thought... NOW how am I going to send pictures of boobies, tits and shags to fellow bird-watchers?
I just tried it, and there's a little "bing" copyright at the bottom of the image list. So technically it's Microsoft's fault. :)
Why did they have to advertise the fact? I just searched for "butt" and "huge" and I go no results at all!
Thanks for ruining it for the rest of us. :P

I think it's more accurate that Microsoft wants to be not only the next Apple, but the next Google at the same time.
They are taking control of what people can do with their computers AND harvest their data too.
