OnePlus has a physical button for toggling between normal, vibrate and silent. Easily the best thing with their phones.

Maybe a dumb question, but why does this need to be supported at UI-library level?

Depends on whether you are a ThinkPad user :)

Thank you Google, these tiny improvements will sure come handy when you - one API change at a time - kill uBlock and forever US to watch CPU hungry ads again... https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues&

To be fair, Nokia did innovate a lot. But there are only so much your engineers are allowed to do when competing with the company's current cash cow.

Before pi & co, cross compiling was a black art. You often needed to build your own toolchain and the target environment were often not standardized either so you would need different compilers for each target. Fast forward to today, yo

No, but pi is what gave us the software! While strongarm and others have been around longer, none had any real mass market hold. With Pi & co, you can build a (slow) server with $35. You can build a k8 cluster with $150. That's why

News like this is why I always try to find an alternate shop when ordering online (failed only twice in last five years). Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of a mega store where everything is available at great prices. But at this po

98 deaths for a place full of old tourists and retired British couples sounds pretty good to me. That's is 98 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic.

These look like really oddball packages that few would consider using. How many of those 41000 are automatic build systems, mirrors and security scanners?

You are ignoring that we often use software created by other people. Raise your hand if you have ever spend an afternoon trying to get someone else's build scripts working. Wondering why make, cmake, scones and ninja are used in the sa

That's the part I find most impressing. "Today we are going to add X" 2 hours later: X is added and working fine. Meanwhile, at work I could easily spend 2 hours looking for a GCC flag or figure out why the build script fails

How can you do UX design based on data, but without a proper feedback channel and at least some AB testing? Most gnome users seem to use extensions that let them revert back to the old ways things were working. How about that as "real

Come on people, it's not like gnome devs are masters of collaboration themselves. Gnome designers can come up with a new direction that 99% of their users hate and they wouldn't even care. Most recent releases have basically been

I thought this was similar to their scikit optimizations, but after a quick look I still can't figure out what is going on here. Can someone ELI5 this for me?

I think it is popular mainly _because_ how it can work in game engine editors (unity, UE, ...). You can't really do much OOP from the graphical editor but ECS is basically drag and drop

So what did H&M actually do to deserve this? The article goes to great length to avoid the issue at hand. At the same time it brings up unrelated issues H&M and Nike (??) and others supposedly have.

Wait, these are not removable on pixel? You can't even disable them?? I am pretty sure I have none of these on any of my android devices. I have even removed the Google app.

I know you are joking, but a lot of Google development is data driven. This means that a lot of decisions are done by A/B testing instead of proper analysis and design. This is most visible in UI stuff. If you wonder why Gmail or YouTu

If you have live update privileges on 2 billion devices, you need better QA than this.

This looks impressive. I went to their Reddit sub for more information and saw this lovely message: "This community is available in the app To view posts in r/Pockit you must continue in Reddit app or log in." No, thank you..

Yes, but it is a slightly modified distro which causes some issues And not all are minor. Not being be able to run LXC is a deal breaker for me.

I suspect this is pretty common. It is an open secret that Stieg Larsson (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) was a mediocre writer with no discipline and his girlfriend shaped most of the Millennium books. (I wish someone could compare his an

Does Google have a formal procedure for projects changing ownership?? If they don't have time for code evaluation, how about at least informing users and allow them to uninstall. Update: Oh, who am I kidding. Ggole will probably ignore
