As I understand it, the intended text of the Tweet was "Despite the negative press coverage". My theory is that three factors allowed nonstandard English to be posted:
Misspell coverage as covrege
Mistype r and g as adjacent f
Type it last, with no trailing space to trigger autocorrect
Has Codea had a feature to share projects with other users of Codea? If not, it was probably a result of the rule as it existed before it was just softened.
you have to use two perverse and stupid APIs on different platforms if you want portability AND deal with any other platform differences that happen to come up in the JS interpreters.
The webview already has THE javascript interpreter.
Then how would a developer of an application available for both iOS and a non-Apple platform work around "two perverse and stupid APIs" and "other platform differences that happen to come up in the JS interpreters"? Or translate the code that the user entered into JavaScript for execution, particularly from an original language whose semantics do not resemble those of JavaScript?
Would it be enough to build said executable with MinGW and test it in Wine? Or are a Windows license and a PC with enough RAM to run Windows in VirtualBox in Linux required?
However kids today treat Lego more like Revell kits: you build it once, then display it.
Hence the recent feature-length public service announcement not to build something according to Instructions only to freeze it in place with KRAzyGLuE.
Crap I forgot <?php during some random error handling case and now it's printing all my source code....
Every reasonable source code editor I've used will highlight the start of a literal block (?>) and the end of a literal block (<?php). It's little different from highlighting """ in Python.
Python 3 already goes much of the way toward this. Instead of treating tab as round up to the next multiple of 8 spaces, as Python 2 did, Python 3 requires the entire sequence of leading whitespace to match in order to include statements in a block. So if you mix tabs and spaces, you're much more likely to get IndentationError in Python 3 than before.
Whether enough people can be bothered to install the runtime to run said code.
If you distribute a C program as source code, how many people can be bothered to install a compiler? Or if you distribute a C program as a Linux/x86-64 executable, how many people who currently use something other than Linux/x86-64 can be bothered to install a Linux/x86-64 virtual machine?
Is Fortran faster than C99, when C gained the restrict pointer qualifier? A lot of Fortran optimizations that C used to lack are based around different aliasing rules, and the restrict qualifier hints to a C compiler that pointers passed as arguments do not point to overlapping memory.
True, the actual density depends on the screen dimensions and pixel count. But an uncooperative chipset maker can hide the screen dimensions from X.
In addition, effective density depends on the viewing distance. If the monitor is twice as far away, it takes twice as many pixels in each direction to make the same size image on the viewer's retina, giving it twice the effective density. This is why CSS defines the px unit as 1/2688 of the viewing distance, which represents a 96 dpi display at 28 inches, rounded to the nearest hardware-friendly unit. Because a laptop or tablet is viewed closer than a desktop monitor, the effective density of a physically 120 DPI display might actually be 96 DPI. Television monitors, on the other hand, have a larger effective density than their physical density because they are viewed from farther away than a desktop PC monitor.
If you doubt that effective density matters, consider this: What is the DPI of a projector?
Someone subscribing to Google Voice outside the United States in violation of the Google Voice TOS would still need a U.S. SMS number that'll forward messages "over just about any protocol".
Unless the ISP is breaking the law by cracking your shit, how will they ever know you're running a server?
In other words: "It's not illegal if you don't get caught." Have I mischaracterized your reply?
You haven't answered the question of where the VPN server is located. Discussion of the advantage of running the IRC server on a home PC and connecting to it through a leased VPN server as opposed to running the IRC server on a leased VPS depends on this.
It happens all the time for Wi-Fi-only tablets. I don't see Comcast imposing any conditions on Samsung to update my Galaxy Tab A. If cellular carriers were the bottleneck, then tablets would still get prompt updates.
And I was under the impression that buying an unlocked phone in mainland Europe was like buying a Wi-Fi-only tablet: phone and service sold separately from separate stores.
I apologize for condescending. I was not aware that the primary reason you were holding onto the older phone was that manufacturers had discontinued physical keyboards.
You run the IRC server as a VPN service on your home system.
Then what do you use as the VPN endpoint through which other people connect to the IRC server on your home computer? And even if you do use a VPN service to work around carrier-grade NAT, how do you avoid getting disconnected by your ISP for running an unauthorized server on a home connection?
You must have less than a few months of experience actually running an IRC server if you're not aware of how it's typically been done
You are correct that I lack experience running an IRC server. So will many people who (probably incompetently) try to set up an IRC server in the wake of Microsoft's sunset of old Skype client versions.
Only those ISPs giving each subscriber a separate IP address even have an option for port forwarding in their home modem/router configuration. Those that do not do not. Please read the "Carrier-grade NAT" article that I linked above to learn why some ISPs do not give each subscriber a separate IP address.
I built skypeweb for Pidgin but couldn't find a way to retrieve old logs within Pidgin. It had other deficiencies as well, but because it was months ago, I forget their exact nature.
What ensures your logger bot user remains connected to the IRC server if the logger bot doesn't run on a server? And what replaces file attachments without an FTP server or equivalent?
The former also got SSE2 grafted onto it, which is newer than 20 years old and on which Windows 8.1 and 10 depend. Besides, application publishers are dropping support for the former.
If the device is purchased from someone other than a cellular carrier, and the update image is downloaded over Wi-Fi, where does the carrier even enter into it?
If VPS is wrong for a private IRC server used by a team spanning multiple countries, then what's right? Running it off a home connection? That would probably violate your ISP's TOS. Even if it didn't, the incoming connection would probably get refused by the ISP's carrier-grade NAT device.
What substantial numbers of PCs with i686-only CPUs have been manufactured in the past seven years?
Intel Core Duo CPU T2400
A first generation Core Duo CPU (codename Yonah) would have been sold in 2006 or 2007 (source). By the end of 2007, it would have been replaced by a Core 2 Duo (codename Conroe/Allendale), which introduced support for x86-64 (source). Any Intel Core CPU from the Dale, Nehalem/Westmere, Bridge, Well, or Lake generation will run 64-bit code.

You fire up the multiprocessing module, create as many processes as you think you need, and start crunching.
Then serialization and deserialization of objects to and from the manager process spawned by the multiprocessing module becomes the bottleneck.

GV forwards text messages. The VPN that you use to sign up for GV in the first place doesn't.

No. However, WannaCry attempted to exploit a unpatched vulnerability in Windows XP.
