It's missing perhaps the most classic of all: someone hosted the DeCSS script (for bypassing the DRM in DVDs) in DNS around 2000.

I find myself using ctrl-r less and less as I make sure that anything of value that I work out goes into a Makefile or the app tooling, for me this is the basis of the dev-ops approach to work (make sure everything is scripted, not worked out on the fly).

I'm struggling to comprehend how branches can be avoided (or why one would want to, as they are the cornerstone of programming). I can only think how to obfuscate them, which is rarely useful.

Takes two seconds to see it too. Example:
> Here is a highly realistic PyTorch implementation of the EP Dispatch phase
No one in their right mind would use "highly realistic" here.

Vice City was released nearly 25 years ago! Also it's a game, so it's not really an apples-to-apples comparison. If you count the unique 'features' (or systems) of Vice City, you might find it's a comparable count to the number of features of a medium-sized mobile app.

I find it hard to believe that the output of modern compilers is objectively 'bad assembly'.

https://www.verity.news/ might be interesting for you; they try to show you both sides of the spin.

I use Chrome on my Android and Mac. For a while I've appreciated the seemingly built-in anti-hijacking measure that always does what I expect on the second Back press. (The first Back may pop up a subscription box for example, but the second will always return me to where I came from).
I actually felt that this was a solved problem, so I'm surprised to see so many people still suffer getting stuck in redirect loops.

Didn't they add name pronunciation guidance a few years ago?

I'm curious though if that affects recognition as well as audio generation.

Floods - remove "Don't drown" and add "Stay out of the attic". Plenty have died trying to seek shelter in an attic.

And if we're talking Expo, that's only for prebuilds of course; once you've got the native app installed then you can absolutely code and see updates in near real-time on both Android and iOS devices.

Quick plug for https://pistepal.app/ - that's my own contribution to the space. Features location sharing and nav/directions, and priced lower than the competition yet with perhaps a richer / more focussed feature set. Interested to hear feedback and ideas!

You can accidentally push to a branch. You can't accidentally push to a tag.

Hey Dan, I think you're going to love what I've built.
The next release (a couple of days out) displays the relative altitude for all of your buddies - so you can immediately see who's above or below you.
On the iPhone, that info also lives in a Live Activity on the lock screen so you don't have to take your gloves off to see that essential info! (Android lock screen support will be coming right after).
If you'd like to help test the feature out, I'd really appreciate it - just drop me a message via https://pistepal.app/support and I'll link you up with an annual subscription.
Cheers!

That's a great idea. A lock screen widget could work really well here, showing the relative elevations of your buddies. You'd have to take your phone out - but you wouldn't have to take your gloves off!
