Yelling is usually a sign a bad social skills, as is recommending to yell. It is just not how normal people behave.
And I agree he is just trying to detract from the fact that he promised something and did not deliver. 2 years is nothing - not enough even for the fast moving Ubuntu distribution, and certainly not enough for embedded development. Once the device is released, you usually do not want to change kernel versions, so 5 years would be more useful.
Exactly. Recursion is heavy on stack use, and you cannot be sure that your target system has enough stack space available.
But it depends on how you use it. Binary recursion is usually considered ok, because you end up with a reasonably small number of levels (in the tens). Divide and conquer is a classic example, but even there you will usually find a loop implementation, because it is faster, and only marginally more difficult to code. Linear recursion on the other hand is complete madness, both in terms of stack use and in terms of performance.
A decent functional language will unroll recursion into a more efficient loop implementation. C will not do that. So as always, you should understand your language and your compiler.
And this is one of the reasons we are moving to Microsoft for our email and file storage. I have no idea why the 4th amendment only applies to Microsoft, not to Google, but so be it.
Of course according to Trump, aliens are not people. I wonder whether he can find a corrupt judge to support that argument.
That is absolutely true. "Using a computer" has become for "knowing how to work around bugs in the software". Updates are just one of the issues.
Although to be honest, my Windows 10 PC upgrades over night as it should. Yes, your tabs are gone, but they reload at the press of a button, and the state of the tabs would mostly be stale, anyway. So my inconvenience has been quite limited.
I have to say that it looks quite nice. Especially the wide angle camera is unique in many ways, although it would be nice to also have a telephoto option.
And that is exactly where the "camera" module disappoints: it does not have a camera! That would have been a perfect opportunity to add a zoom in camera.
It is fake news. Cervical cancel has not changed one little bit - but our understanding of it has improved. There is not even any new evidence, just a new interpretation of it.
Especially in print you should be used to excellent precision. Even a standard laser printer used 1200dpi now, so a dot pitch of 20um. And these 20um need to be precise over the whole page (30cm), you cannot have one dot much larger than another without the result looking wrong.
Samsung did not have this problem. The battery should have been 4mm thick, but it was 4.3mm or so. That may be less than 1mm, but it is a large difference..
Well, guess what. If you stop BYOD, and people have their private phones, they can use those to call each other, too. Completely unregulated! (Not completely unrecorded, of course.)
At the end of the day, you need people to do the right thing, and technology can help, but it does not solve the problem.
Why is everybody calling it "local" law? A local law would be "no walking on this lawn", or "no parking on the pavement in this village". However, this is federal law in China, law that governs more than a Billion people, about 1/6 of the world population.

Except you are not: diversity has always been the defining feature of Android, so you can find pretty much anything you like. (Unless you are looking for years of support, in which case custom ROMs or Apple are indeed the only option.)
USB-C is a good choice for many things: charging (not as good as MagSafe, but more compatible), connecting a screen (VGA is getting old) etc. And having more than one is great for flexibility.
But: USB-A is a well established universal connector, and it will not go away for at least a decade. Pretty much every PC accessory has a USB connector, and not having a USB-A host slot is a serious inconvenience.
So you have your own internet, build your on PC from pieces of rock, and probably your own automobile, too?
Of course we depend on third parties, modern life is absolutely unthinkable without. And that includes services, some of which are quite stable, but cloud hosting does not seem to be one of them.
Yes. Just like "Orkut is here to stay", or "Google Wave is the future", or "Google Talk will remain open", or "Google+ is our new way of integrating services". Sure. Until it isn't any more.
If a Java update installs Chrome, then Java is the malware here. Sure, Google paid for it, so they are complicit, but Oracle conveniently "forgot" to ask the user.
Exactly this. They have been caught in questionable dealing way to often: violating the GPU, preventing updates that a technically perfectly possible, dealing with developers who install malware... they certainly have a track record that should make you very worried.
This is not to say that everybody else is doing great work, but with MediaTek you can be quite certain to be screwed one way and/or another.
I have a 4k TV as a PC screen, too, and I can see every single pixel. So clearly for this application, 8k would be a massive benefit, and even higher resolutions may still show a better image.
Of course the same does not apply to typical TV use, where even 4k is beyond what most people can really appreciate.
Maybe, but for me the main problem with Microsoft is that Edge is a decent render engine, but more a demo than a complete browser. They released it too early, before it was ready. Edge is slowly becoming a competitive browser, but in the mean time people are changing to Chrome.
I do wonder why people buy Samsung. I got a used one for cheap, and I admit that the hardware is very nice, but the software is just terrible, and also terribly out of date. It was a flagship phone, it cost an insane amount of money new, and it was only supported for just over a year from launch. I am pretty sure it was still being sold when it was already out of support.
So clearly Samsung is not looking after the customer, that should be perfectly obvious from every single phone they make. Why do people still buy them?
Actually, no bar was set at all, because the referendum was conduction only to inform. So the "fact" that Brexit has won is a matter of interpretation, it is not the result of the referendum.
The UK economy was in a terrible shape before it joined the UK, very much at the bottom of the bunch. And it has now worked its way up right to the top. So pure evidence shows that the EU membership was good for the economy, something that cannot be said for Brexit.

True, and yet some use more fuel than other. :-)
Eliminating left turns to save time at the expense of longer distance is plausible.
Making the journey shorter by eliminating left turns is not. So what is the article not telling us?

Indeed. I am secret BSD fan, but all these forks are getting boring, and surely they do not help to make BSD more relevant.

Yes, it is dishonest, but they started it by saying "this is not relevant, but we ask for it anyway". Well, if it is not relevant, surely lying is ok?
And lying is a natural part of filling in web forms, because all too often the correct answer is refused with "invalid entry".

I think making a proper IoT device is hard, and it also requires knowledge in cryptography.
