not really a dumb phone is it?

i guess there will be always a previous processor supporting something which the most recent doesn't.

but when the bug report is regarding supporting a software version which they don't support themselves anymore, personally i don't think they will give it any priority

escape life, or the point of life (if there's one)?

i don't think there's a point of life. from a nature perspective it should be reproduce and assure balance in the ecosystem, but as there's way too many humans that ship has sailed.

from the economic perspective you're a pawn to contribute to a "healthy" economy so we all can enjoy our luxuries.

and then there's the individual perspective, where the point probably is what you want it to be.

after realising there's no point at all, for me the point pretty much is "do what you want and what you're comfortable with and try not to worry too much"

wickedOne | 5 years ago | on: What comes after Git?

though i agree that there isn't a proper vcs out there for large files (adobe bridge was a nice attempt) git wasn't designed for that and one might wonder whether you want git to be _that_ multi purpose.

wickedOne | 5 years ago | on: What comes after Git?

git has a steep learning curve for sure, but eventually scenarios described at oshitgit should be common knowledge for anyone using it.

personally i think putting out sites like that is more helpfull than dumbing down git

wickedOne | 5 years ago | on: What comes after Git?

what would be a typical large file you want to have in your codebase? usually this shouldn't be a consideration

wickedOne | 5 years ago | on: What comes after Git?

don't fix what ain't broken?

i think as long as git keeps evolving and there are no major pitfalls for any programming language: why should it be replaced?

been using submodules for years without any issues other than the routine before "deinit" was introduced was somewhat tricky.

could you elaborate?

wickedOne | 5 years ago | on: Yml Coding

despite the readability of the yaml syntax, for me the big disadvantage is the inability to use meta / type info.

for a straightforward collection of strings: probably good enough, for anything else xml is more likely to cover the usecase better

wickedOne | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: Not smart enough to a programmer, where to take my life from here?

you say you started doing programming as a hobby which means it used to be fun, right?

you might want to isolate the aspects of what made it fun back in the days when it was a hobby and what makes it dreadful at the moment and find yourself something which include the first, but lacks the later.

personally i think the attractive side of being a developer is creating something. reading you're not interested in business side of tech (analyst, salesman, management) you might want to explore other crafts which maintain the creative part.

that could be anything really. i myself started out as a graphic designer before i got involved in programming which might be something you want to explore...
