I know it’s not consistent but I read them like zsh = zee shell, ssh I spell out “s s h”, sudo I say /ˈsuː.doʊ/. or “soo dough”

I found out that Satisfactory is on sale right now, and will go up in price by $10 after the sale. So if you want it before 1.0 comes out now would be a great time.

A shocking number of users would be hard pressed to figure out how to type in a url to a mobile web browser… or even know what that is, and they deserve a nice user interface too. App stores make it easier to find, too.

Stardew valley is 2D so fewer controls to learn than a 3D game. It also has a cute art style.

They said “primarily”, not “exclusively.”

I can only speak from the experience of one app at one company, but data we collected was for troubleshooting. Mainly because customers will email us stuff like “your app doesn’t work!!! Worst company ever!!” And absolutely no identifying information whatsoever. To make matters worse they’ll email with an email that they didn’t give us as a customer so how in the world are we supposed to help‽
So we collect enough data so whoever in the company might need to help them can actually do so.
There’s a lot of “this app is impossible to use!!!” That we find out with enough data collection is just them refusing to hit the GIANT button in the middle of the damn screen that would solve their problem. I hate users.
I believe we answered questions in the Apple and Google stores that says that we collect information and send it to 3rd parties (because analytics platforms are technically 3rd party) but not to sell it. I don’t know if that distinction is clear on the stores though.

This could be the opening line in a high school textbook for a course on how to use the Internet

I didn’t?

Negative percentages

…not that that should be possible though. It uses sumy to do the summaries.

The video description links to a Facebook page for the AOA. idk what the AOO might be

Ok both groups seem to agree that dark mode is either not bad for your eyes or better. The linked YouTube video isn’t some medical board or anything so I wouldn’t go by them.

What is even more interesting is the little battle between the AAO and the AOA. One being ophthalmologists and the other optometrists.

The former call themselves medical doctors, and outline both terms providing difference between them for easy access.

The latter, optometrists, call themselves doctors as much as possible in the context of medicine but seem to avoid calling themselves medical doctors because they know they arent. The only mention of ophthalmology on the AOA website seems to be in reference to groups that oppose them, which seems biased.

Like optometrists are trying as hard as possible to be considered medical doctors in as many ways as possible without having gone to medical school. Can’t say I care for the AOA or their articles now.

The source they cite is the AAO and their website has this article which seems to say the opposite.

Edit Wait. No. They cite the AOA which is different? Who comes up with this stuff‽

I prefer index variable names that are two words. The second word is always ‘index’ and the first word describes the enumerable objects. carIndex, productIndex, thingIndex

I’m not paid by the character count. Longer and more descriptive is better. Long lines that go past your 1080p monitor are probably not long because of variable names but because you insist on doing many things in one line (quit doin’ that). For small functions this isn’t necessary, but too often I’m shunted to the middle of a big function with two or three indecies doing acrobatics over one another and while working on it I have to constantly remind myself that this i and j mean particular things.

You guys had better quit it with all this amazing transparency or it’s going to completely ruin every other service for me. Seriously though amazing work and amazing communication.
