Ok, sorry, your answer was not clear to me. I thought you were saying the way to replace one package was to replace the whole rom, you meant to say that after replacing the whole rom you could do updates that just replace one package.
In my corporate experience, data warehouse and big data projects happen when an executive gets annoyed with the slow progress of IT and basically dumps out the contents of a few databases into an almost-impossible-to-secure bowl of soup.
Exactly how the whole Chelsea Manning/Wikileaks thing happened.
Before 9/11 info was comparmentalised and need to know, after it was "gotta let every low level person have access to everything so we don't slip up again". Whoops.
So there is no social life with those people without facebook.
You see? Win/Win.
Yup.
What matters more to you? Money or control?
Either is a valid answer, but don't complain that you weren't given the choice.
So use a phone that doesn't run iOS, Android or Windows.
What's your problem?
The Dunning Kruger is strong in this one.
I wish it still behaved as shift-lock: affecting all characters, not just letters. When I use caps lock, it's almost always because I'm typing an environment variable or #defined constant. And that means I'm going to be typing lots of _ characters. If caps lock behaved like shift lock, I wouldn't have to press shift for every one of them.
Get a French AZERTY keyboard.
(Except that you use shift-lock to get numbers, by default unshifted is symbols).
But none of these recent problems need a kernel upgrade -- the userland/kernel interface is stable, there is nothing stopping Google & pals from just releasing a package with the new
Except that their package management is primitive to nonexistent.
"Install a rom"?
I used to do shit like that on 8 bit microcontrollers. If it's just one
Works on my N900, worked on my N9, works on my Jolla.
Android is primitive.
Thanks for linking that -- great demo.
Swift isn't going to make it so "anybody can write apps." That is something that's been tried for decades, with things like drag-and-drop programming. SQL was originally intended for non-programmers. It doesn't work, because the difficulty of programming isn't the syntax. The difficulty of programming is logic.
While true, the danger exists that making the syntax easier will encourage more people who don't understand logic to try to write code anyway, usually with disastrous results. Maybe it's the UNIX greybeard in me, but I've always seen the complexity of language as sort of a "you must be this tall to ride" bar, limiting the amount of damage that clueless people can cause.
And it isn't just that the software that new programmers create is usually bad. It also clogs the marketplace with low-quality apps. The more bad apps people write, the harder it will be for well-written new apps to gain footing, because they'll start out with several times as many poorly written apps ahead of them in their sales ranking.
But the biggest problem with making it easier to write code is that every step down that path requires ever-increasing resources. Right now, it takes about an order of magnitude more effort to write a beginning programming guide than to write a programming guide for experienced programmers, even for a moderately complex technology. And that's if you assume that people understand basic logic, control flow, etc. If you go one step beyond that and try to make it practical for non-programmers to write code, you'll spend two or three years writing a good, solid introductory textbook. And I have yet to see any evidence suggesting that any significant percentage of those folks will be able to write decent code even after reading such a book.
The kernel is stable not just because it has to be, but also because it scares people away until they are reasonably competent at programming. The web is filled with bad code because it doesn't. IMO, apps should be more like the former than the latter. Just my $0.02.
Neither of those provides any mechanism for downsampling an image before uploading it. In fact, from a same-origin security model perspective, JS code isn't even supposed to be able to access the image data before uploading it, though I think they've left some holes where devs can get around that....
So, if your potential boss or landlord or police officer doesn't recognize that people change, what the heck do you do?
For the first two, obviously, you either persuade them or you find someone else to work for / rent from. Freedom of association means that they have no obligation to hire you or rent out their property to you, regardless of the reason. Hiding information about your past which you know would be considered relevant amounts to fraud.
If your treatment by a police officer or any other representative of the government acting in an official capacity is influenced by outdated posts on social media sites, or anything else apart from your current standing under the law, you've got bigger issues. In any case, odds are that a law permitting you to delete your information from the Internet, even if it could somehow be implemented effectively, would not prevent the police from learning about your youthful indiscretions.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
