  • Hahaha wow! That’s your comment about this? Incredible!!!

    Sure, if someone writes something on the internet that some business owner somewhere doesn’t like, lets just torture them. Makes total sense!

    In case you are actually this dumb: Her comment was a so called hyperbole. People like using these, often for humor reasons, especially on the internet and sometimes they are used to clarify something that’s actually subtle. Nobody reading that comment actually thinks that she seriously means people would get killed by that stuff. And if they would, she should still be allowed to express what she thinks on the internet.



  • I’d say at 1000 lines it usually makes sense to extract some parts into other files. But sure, I guess most obscurities have positive aspects. On the other hand, nothing is stopping you from writing a separate file with only function signatures next to your python scripts. It’s just not required, because why would it ;)




  • Kinda sad how that guy destroys his reputation so late in his life. I mean he actually contributed a lot to the field of software development, but just refuses to accept that C++ days are thankfully over. The language has grown into a complete abomination, but all the experience we gained during its long history (good and bad) are extremely valuable for designing new languages from now on. One can’t rescue a design by just adding things to it (regardless of the kind of design), that’s just a simple truth. Thus, a backwards compatible C++ can never become even half as good as rust is already today (and there’s of course always room for improvement). But that’s not because bjarne did something stupid, but because humanity as a whole didn’t know better back than. He could just accept that, embrace new technology, retire in dignity, be remembered as highly admired and appreciated. Instead he acts like a butthurt idiot, trying to defend that cars shouldn’t have seatbelts, because if everyone drives carefully, nothing bad will happen anyway. Pathetic.



  • Afaik there are two location permission levels in android, one that only allows GPS which is often really slow and inaccurare and one that uses cell and wifi as well which is quick and accurate. Maybe OsmAND is not allowes to use the accurate location on your phone?

    I’m on lineage microG and I’ve got the opposite experience! Some apps really struggle with getting my location while OsmAND always works like a charm. I also use organic maps for quick routing, because the map rendering is MUCH faster and it consumes less battery power.
