Not sure I want to take advice on this particular subject from Marissa Mayer...


If you have published apps on Android, the developer console gives you detailed information about YOUR install base.

Couldn't care less about someone in Somalia using Android 4.4 when 80% of my users are on Oreo.


These negative posts always show up on top when something even remotely positive about android is posted.


> I don't want a smartphone that only a couple of million bought

Not sure if serious ...


Dead serious.


Maybe he is using an android converted to Jolla?


Actually things have improved considerably this year. You may still not have the latest OS version, but the security patches are arriving every 1-2 months.

Oreo is supposed to improve things even further, but for know its just a theory.


Well, I just saw this on Android Police:

Hey, Samsung released July security patch to Samsung Galaxy S4!!! We are talking about April 27 of 2013. That's 4 years and a half! https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s4/GT-I9505/NEE/d...


That's how i feel about "convert" from imagemagick


Which is why I use graphicsmagick [1] instead. The imagamagick executables becomes options behind the 'gm' executable.

[1] http://www.graphicsmagick.org/


Can't believe I never heard of GraphicsMagick. Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if it has a Ruby interface.


IIRC yes but, since it leaked memory like a sieve, I did everything via system("gm ...")

(This memory is a few years out of date.)


And "import"!


Hate it when I'm starting a newly written python script, and have forgotten the hashbang. For some reason my mouse cursor turns into a cross, and the script does nothing!

Always takes me a couple of seconds to realize what's going on...


I have a similar issue where I tend to start typing python code in the shell without remembering to enter the repl first.


PostgreSQL's "initdb"!


That's still much better than their 'createuser'


`testparm` for Samba.


packer has a name collision, too.


> I didn't know Dwarf Fortress was packaged in Debian

well, goodbye productivity.

I wonder if I can run it on a production server without anyone noticing...


The text renderer seems to use considerably less CPU that the graphics one. I've been tempted to set up a docker image...


wasnt getc() available on windows?


It was and still is, the name is _getch() from <conio.h>

However, I can see how for a beginner programmer system("pause"); is more intuitive than printf/_getch() combo. Especially if said programmer is already familiar with windows shell and its commands.
