Bra-free? I hoped we would finally be able to see titties... Very disappointed

Maybe they're smart, but not intelligent

Maybe you're overthinking it. People just don't like to hear about something that's completely irrelevant to the conversation.

If you really care about improving some one grammar, send a private message. It can be very useful for a non-native speaker, especially if it's not a total stranger to you. Saying out loud "fix your grammar" doesn't make you a hero on a white house.

Only if that one is interested is his/her success and doesn't hate the subject. Plus, a child can be too shy to ask for an explanation.

Still used by some enterprise customers...

MIUI is garbage, just like any Chinese software. It's the most bloated mobile OS I've ever used. WiFi tethering got broken after some update, which is ridiculous. Bluetooth tethering never worked at all. Memory leaks are so bad you can't keep two apps in background after 5-7 days of uptime. And that's with 3gb of RAM. They even had to add some swap space to make it usable, but at least you can turn it off, which is called "Memory optimization" for some reason. Plus, you have to register a MIUI account to turn on developer settings. I'm not even talking about silly UI bugs. Basically any non-stock ROM is better

It's better than having no browser at all...

But what's the competition? Is uBlock gonna sue Google? No. Or adblock with a single developer? (Don't know if it's still true)... Well, no.

Let's see how it's done. Most consumers will probably benefit from it.

I've used W10 since it's release (August 2015) on many devices, and it only keeps getting worse. There's no way they do this unintentionally. At work I primarily use Linux, but also have a W10 laptop for testing. I'm used to the fact that the OS can eat all of your CPU and SSD (50-100% SSD usage for 30min? WTF is it doing?), you have no idea when it stops and you have no control over it. Last time I was unable to use the laptop for a good hour. Sometimes longer.

On the contrary, graphs is a good example, when pictures make perfect sense and any other way is rather meaningless for human brain. But yes, algebra specifically and pictures don't gel.

Sometimes normal verbal communication is just faster. You will never wait 30min to get a simple answer. Want to debug something together? You just do it right away on your computer.

And if the office is like 30 min away from home, there's no commuting problem. Yes, that's an hour a day, which is still potentially significant, but on the other hand you don't work at home. I hate working at home and I'm not alone.

I had such rules in school and no one actually was capable of explaining why exactly it was good for me. It was a long time ago and I still don't understand

Agree. It's amazing how such an ugly and inconsistent language can have so many great packages.

I don't think working with numbers is a strong side of Prolog. Quicksort in Haskell is also 3 lines, but it's totally readable. I can make use of functional programming in my daily life, but logic? Never. But think of the Zebra puzzle. In Prolog the solution is 100% declarative.

BTW, I hate Prolog too.
