  • Unfortunately not. You do get a warning that it's an unchecked cast at least.

    Granted, the issue here is generic type erasure, which was a tradeoff that was decided on for backwards compatibility when generics were first introduced to Java, so it's not like an actually desirable feature of the language. But the point is that this wouldn't be reason for anyone to not call Java and Kotlin not statically typed, their type system is just a bit weaker than others in certain aspects

  • I get your point, but that's not a great example. Kotlin is a statically typed language, and this compiles (and runs!) just fine:

     
        
    val test: List<String> = listOf(1) as List<String>
    println(test) // prints "[1]"
    
      

    Even val test: String = 1 as String will compile, but at least gives you an exception at runtime, which the equivalent typescript wouldn't.

  • There are tools that can change the colors of your screen to simulate different kinds of color blindness, that makes it pretty easy to test for the basics. I've been using this one in the past: https://colororacle.org/

    But in general, it's also just a good guideline to never rely only on color to communicate important information, and always also have a graphical or textual cue to go with the color.

  • It doesn't need to be the latest android version per se, but I wouldn't want to use a phone that's not getting security patches anymore

  • Well, yeah, kind of at this point. LLMs can be interpreted as natural language computers

  • It's not about that, it's about "% per 100k" making no sense as a unit. It's either just %, or an absolute number per 100k. Mixing both together like this makes it seem like you've clearly messed something up and don't quite understand what you're actually talking about.

  • the quality of Lego bricks is far superior to any of their competitors

    That is flat out wrong. It was true a couple of years ago, but things have changed rapidly recently.

    Lego's quality has dropped quite a bit in the last 40 years, while some competitors have caught up and superseded. Sure, it's still mostly pretty good, but things like brittle brown or the lime bionicle joints should be ample evidence that Lego is by far not infallible.

    And if you look at the quality of current day bricks - Lego is having huge consistency issues, especially when it comes to certain colors, but also the bricks themselves. Running over the flat back of my Tudor Corner with a fingernail reveals inconsistencies in the width of regular bricks. Huge visible mold marks are everywhere. These issues were much less present 40 years ago, and high-quality competitors like Pantasy or Lumibricks are currently outcompeting Lego on basically every quality metric (except maybe glossy tile surfaces), at half the price.

  • Bluebrixx is still somewhat hit-or-miss when it comes to quality. If you want to see the best and most consistent stuff out there, give Pantasy or Lumibricks (previously Funwhole) a shot!

  • Watch time is pretty important on YouTube afaik, initial clocks themselves don't count for that much

  • Kids will do stupid things sometimes, no avoiding that. In Germany you can pass a stopped bus on the other side of the road, but if it has its hazards on, you can't go faster than walking speed.

  • Then it would've been "against her brother" though, not "against my brother"

  • Syntax is a little different though, the above wouldn't complete

  • What? Since when does Valve prohibit companies from redirecting customers to non-Valve purchasing flows? Because that's what this ruling is about, it says Apple can't prohibit apps from telling users to go buy off-platform for lower prices. Valve isn't doing that with Steam afaik, actually I'm not aware of any other platform that does this

  • I mean... The post explicitly says "attempted rape" and never just "rape", so isn't it doing exactly what you're asking for then?

  • I personally switched to wireless back when my phone still had a headphone jack. It's just the better overall experience for me, and I suspect that I'm not alone in that. I'm going to continue arguing for manufacturers to keep including a headphone jack, but it's not because I prefer wired headphones personally.

  • I feel like I’d forget to charge them

    I thought that to but turned out to be a non-issue. Since most earbuds come in a case that holds multiple full charges for the earbuds themselves, and the case begins to complain about low battery early enough, even if I forget the first one or two times I notice the low battery state I've so far never run into a situation where I wanted to use them as had no charge left

  • There's nothing to configure with modern android and Windows devices, it just works from my experience. Watching a video on YouTube or on the native media players at least you get a fraction of a second where it's out of sync and then it pauses the video for whatever time necessary to get back in sync, and no issues from there on out.

    The only instances where I notice it doesn't work are games and video editing software, but yeah, those are just not use cases where wireless audio is appropriate
