References to slavery in America, even references to movies of freed slaves struggling to free others are generally unwelcome. It’s not something most people want to be faced with when they just came for a simple technical discussion.
I found it clever and I welcome it. The history surrounding slavery isn't a taboo subject, what a ridiculous idea. The commenter in no way is condoning slavery.
Yep, as a black person in the USA… this sort of reads as:
“Remember those times your ancestors were enslaved?
Which relates to a history of segregation and oppression so recent that your parents were alive when it was overturned? You must remember it since it’s still championed by secessionists and is the cause of ever present police brutality.
Remember that? Well wow, do I have a funny joke for you!”
Long story short, there are other jokes that could be made.
Oh no this is totally just my opinion, and I can only defend it with rhetoric, anecdotes, and common sense logic.
Don’t get name wrong, I don’t think the OP meant something malicious and I don’t want to word police in general. It’s just that this joke comes up all the time when Django is mentioned in a crowd. It may have been funny once but now it’s just kind of banal.
References to religions as true are generally unwelcome. It's not something most people want to be faced with when they just came for a simple technical discussion.
This is what pushed me back to Apple after a single Android device. After 18 months, it was running like crap, and when I bought it, it was considered one of the best flagship Android devices available (there was another that was equal, so it was a coin toss between them).
Yeah there's an Android Slowdown Syndrome that I don't know what it is... but Android has it. My wife's old iPhone 8 still runs fine. All my old android phones from that time are a mess.
I bought the first android phone, the G1, back in the day.
It had a peculiar bug where the entire phone would slowdown if you had too many text messages stored, among other things. A factory reset would fix it though.
A bit disappointing that solution still needs to be a thing.
I'm unsure this is true. I was certainly disappointed when I went for a Samsung S8 at launch and found it laggy and glitchy 12 months in, and unusable at 18 months. As a short term money saver, I bought a 2016 iPhone SE and was amazed to find it got 2 more years of updates before I finally decided to retire it.
Between lacking support and poor performance over and over in the Android ecosystem, it became a very easy decision to move over to the Apple lock-in unfortunately. Their phones generally stay out of my way and work snappily when I need them to.
It's a real shame to have had this experience, and to watch others around me have similar issues before jumping ship to Apple. I think the competition provided by the big Android vendors is important, but I just can't justify dropping money on a new device every 18 months.
I've been with Android since the beginning (though Apple everything else). But I'm just tired of needing a new phone every year just to get ok performance.
A few weeks back I got a free iPhone 6, and was amazed at its performance. When I compared it to my OnePlus 2 phone from a year later, it's night and day performance wise.
My next phone will be an iPhone, no question.
I had a top of the line samsung, and the _native_ google maps app was slower than a web view google maps on an iphone SE.
I think that there's a lot of stuff about tuning, but the latency story (at least up until 3 or 4 years ago) on Android has been absolutely garbage, no matter what geekbench scores the phones get.
Sony phones and the Google mainline phones seem to work well when I use them though (though ultimately lots of android apps are also just not very good)
Yeah it definitely depends on how seriously I take them as a person. Some actually think things through while most just feel like they have to tell me every random idea that pops in their heads
Wow, what a moronic decision by Oracle. Automating installations is so important, if you're deploying 1000 servers, to not be able to automate (even just for the one character button) is stupid.
The thing that killed most folks was the virtualized machines. They price on host, not guest OS. Got a 4 core virtual machine on a 128 core host... 128 cores need to be licensed. Those small web apps became crazy expensive where physical hardware is discouraged.
Volume Mount integration is the big one for me. UI is neither here nor there, but managing the VM is what Docker Desktop means for most users. Podman Machine is getting there, but not quite there yet.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way, Apple let you register URLs to redirect to your app, so I'm assuming they've just done this for AMP URLs and strip it back to a proper link and then open that using the system browser (whichever you have set).
This is exactly what turned me off Yarn 2. I think it was a language server issue, but if it's broken, it's broken. It sent me back to NPM, and I rarely use Yarn these days at all.
I was thinking about doing this myself (but in Javascript, coz that's what I'm using day to day at the moment), and literally implementing each module of the board as a seperate piece of code.
I've transitioned to Joplin as my every day note taking app. Evernote did their dash with me when they limited to 2 devices (I was considering paying for it until that point, it showed that they're willing to change terms on a whim).
OneNote never resonated with me.
I was just syncing a directory of MD files for a while.
Joplin ended up working well for me, syncing to my own NextCloud server. The only thing I wish were different is that it wasn't an Electron app using heaps of memory (this is what stopped me adopting it earlier).
