@gtwilson Oops. Nowadays I try to avoid writing build scripts by hand and use tools/meta-languages that autogenerate the scripts/commands and that query the system in question to optimize the resource usage.
Lovely. All things that are time-controlled in this building (locks, laundry machines, etc.) got borked by yesterday's storm.
@kdfrawg I like storms, as does my wife. It's an awesome display of the power the nature has over us humans who think we can rule everything. Every summer we wait for the thunder storms to hit the area we live in, but unfortunately often they either go around us or just dry up.
Pity. The stronger storm front either dried up or changed its path. All we got was some mild rain (far from that 17mm they forecasted earlier tonight) without thunder.
First storm hit us just a moment ago. Constant flashing, very loud rumble, heavy rain. And this is not the hardest storm we are supposed to get tonight.
@streakmachine I have never seen a forecast that says there will be 17mm of rainfall within one hour…
@phoneboy Indeed. The overall Android experience, both in software and hardware, is lightyears behind that of iOS and iDevices. And I say this as a person who mostly develops for Android.
And while my comment yesterday was mostly about developing software for Android, I could have talked about the experience too. I have used both a pure Android device (Nexus 5) and an OEM device (Scamsung) and I disliked them both. There are a lot of big and small things that annoy me like hell in both, and many of the things the manufacturers (especially those OEMs) do to "enhance user experience" actually break the intent of a developer.
I could go on with this rant here and now, but I think I will save it for a blog post I have intended to write for months.
