Same here.
I found Python/C to be the most efficient, reasonable, flexible solution. sometimes by binding one in another, sometimes one of of them for prototyping and quick implementation before translation into the other.
I was hoping someone would post some alternatives. thanks for doing so.
I'll try using exclusively Findx for as long as i can, and i'd deactivate my ad blocker if their ads don't try to track me and are only selected according to my query.
The BlackBerry Passport is the best phone i ever used, the user experience of the UI and the interactions over the OS (under QNX) are amazing, the physical keyboard is great to with the gesture recognition or whatever they call it, let alone the Hub that should be a standard on every "smart" phone.
I had high hopes for the blackberry OS after the version 10 i still don't understand why they are letting that platform die, they should've opensourced it so people can maintain it and they would still make and sell hardware. it's just sad.
Just like that other crap truecaller.com which is basically a phone contact sharing app. if somebody has your number and uses the app, your contact info will be searchable by all it's users, and will be shared as your dumbass contact wrote it.
It's really sad.
Well as with every strategic decision you have to make, there is always advantages that come with disadvantages, and you have to accept that and chose accordingly.
Being on facebook gives you a big amount of visibility but the audience is a rather not very clever one. they sell you quantity not quality but you take it anyway Mr.Musk. because maximum visibility is what i think you are seeking. otherwise you'd be good with RSS feed on your websites.
My guess is that his facebook pages won't stay off for long. just surfing on the hype.
Proprietary touch to the already complicated and overly verbal licenses.
Just keep the damn thing simple. licenses don't need more than a couple of lines to describe what you can and cannot do with the product. until everybody KISS, there will be more and more violations, and corporate lawyers aren't gonna KISS for sure.
I think there will be more benefits in equipping them with RPIs rather than PCs. it fits the purpose in an educational context and you reach more with the same amount of money.
and yeah, M$ can still be the sponsor and preinstall the IoT version of their MalwareOS 10
The outcome of using those products and services is common knowledge by now, if someone is using them, he should be knowing that there is no workaround.
so stop complaining and just don't use them damn it.
Don't have mod points, but I totally agree with you on the usage of alternative software. there is no absolute necessity that is digital. oxygen and food aren't digital and taking other's intellectual effort is not fair in my opinion.
However the problem for me is in security research, if i buy digital product from you i wanna be sure that the thing does exactly what it says it does, and nothing else, i don't wanna buy (be proprietary an instance of the stuff in exchange of money) something that does stuff (collect information and communicate with the outside word) without my knowledge and explicit consent. that is the biggest problem and until they find an impartial, competent, trustworthy third party that can verify the integrity of software and hardware, security research, cracking and reverse engineering by individuals should be justified and legitimate in my personal view.
I learned from the very beginning to always ask "why?" why should i switch to this ? why refactor ? why change to that ? and the answer should always be "the bring x improvement to the business"
A very simple reflex that acts as a shield in front of the hype and marketing. (but takes a lot from the free time to play around with the new toys and small implementations of the new ideas to answer properly)
So when i check out a new coding language the first thing i look for is their justification, their answer to the "Why ?" question and most of the time their answer is about improving the interpreter or the compiler (a safer c/c++, and a faster performing python). and rarely about the syntax itself...
I like change and new, I don't like jumping into someone else's code, hell i don't like jumping in my own code, and i'd rather make 10 new things than refactor one. so i get why people chose to reinvent declarations and tests. the problem is jumping into it in production and buying to the hype before letting projects mature and answering the right questions: "when" and "why" mostly.
Funny thing i planned to do it this weekend ! I'm receiving a new WRT router and the extra rpi3 i have will be the the spam catcher/dhcp server using pi-hole.
but boy do i passionately hate working in openspaces! who the hell thought that putting a bunch of people with different job dynamics in one big room would be a good idea ?
people talk, answer phones, tell stupid personal stories, make jokes....while other ones are trying to think and do problem solving and conception.
Home office increases productivity, makes savings for everybody. i'v been involved in projects with people working from home and everything went smooth. so yeah, i would't bother not viewing my colleagues in person again (for working purpose in the workplace, i mean some of em are cool)
Conceptually, the user gets paid in services in exchange of personal data and digital tracking.
We give you pictures of cats and idiotic filters of animal ears on top of your picture, you give us the ability to own your digital behavior history. most people who cared enough to find out what the deal was agreed to it and found it to be a great one.
I like the idea, but i'm more into filtering and blocking:
-Don't use social media: yes it's really possible within certain type of social circles
-Don't use ANY of google's software: Chrome, Android (as only deactivating Android Google Services makes Android Devices unusable)
-Use a real open browser with NoScript and AdBlock Ultimate. if something doesn't work then the hell with it. you'll get used to it.
-Facebook isn't internet. there's forums, chats, usergroups, email, and video sharing websites they didn't invent anything.
So it doesn't surprise me that, with every single iteration, there is less modularity in those devices. the big guys are orienting the masses towards to one brick of closed monolithic software/hardware thing that is conditioning the "computing" behavior of their users.
I am not comfortable on tablets, the Ux makes me feel trapped in a glass. i need my shell, and the possibility to replace a hardware component if I want to, this used to be a standard. but what was the standard few years ago will be niche in the very near future
So Intel is going to release a microprocessor that features exclusively the absence of a second secret spying system.
And Microsoft will soon let their users see -partially- what data their paid SpywareAsAnOs is sending.
You have to think real low of your customers to present those things as features, does the mining of the data they collect gave them insight of a low IQ of most users ?
Slashdot Mirror
for me, Isn't certainly a "smart" phone.
I hope what they mean by carbs here is rice and potatoes, not burgers and donuts

It's insane, somehow funny, how mainstream medias condition users as much as what browser they use.
I have been a happy Blackberry user for years.

I wonder what they're doing on weekdays ?
on so many levels

I thought it was sarcastic, had to reread it to figure it was meant to be serious. actually funnier this way.

Totally agree.
I think there will be more benefits in equipping them with RPIs rather than PCs. it fits the purpose in an educational context and you reach more with the same amount of money.

I mean, their main activity isn't to collect as many information about entities and use it for business ?
This tells me more about to readers than it does about the platform where the content is published.
I don't use facebook, I don't use Windows.
