The course Programming in C, and other courses like Compilers, have this policy across many CS universities for many years now. It s a strict policy but it has its reasons. Assignments on early semesters are simple and short, and if students cooperate on the implementation, the result would be almost identical for everyone, while very few would have truly thought it out by themselves. Most students would not go easily through the process to struggle in order to think about the solution, if they could just copy the answer from someone else.

Would make me too uncomfortable to work with and for people with such opinions.

I’d like a comeback of the live events at some point. Especially now that there is a new CEO.

Exactly, so even the argument that everything turned out fine eventually, is not that valid. We could say that, only if we could compare “now” with a hypothetical parallel present where things stayed the same.

I started using this client a few days ago, in an effort to reduce my news addiction. By combining everything in a simple interface with chronological order, hope it helps avoid the flashy sources which make you scroll. Thanks to everything working on the RSS ecosystem

That might prove the novelty of the App Store back then. Also, let’s not forget that its’ screen was better than most other smartphones of its time. It was a rather limited phone, but not bad exactly.

> Haha, what? How is France having nuclear weapons leverage over other countries in the Eurozone? What kind of thing do you think the Eurozone or EU even is? We don't use threats of violence against each other in negotiations. France having nuclear weapons or not matters zilch in these conversations, because we're all allies.

Greece says hello!

I don’t understand why this has been downvoted, it’s true that the US has done many interventions in the past based on vague rationale or simply by misleading public opinion. And it has always been a part of its’ state propaganda to make it look like they are on the good side, doesn’t mean they are though every time. The difference this time is that they didn’t even try that much to shape a proper narrative.

Yes I did, and its comments, prior commenting here. I'm aware that some users managed to upgrade successfully but still that does not change what I believe about this rollout.

If that does not prove that Apple has been very hasty with this update overall, I don't know what does. The bar for quality control has been set kinda low.

I'm sad to read this, as my father too is not in the best possible situation currently, cause of cancer. Wish you feel better soon and keep fond memories of him.

Really wish that this sets a trend like iOS 7 did and move forward from this bland flat design that exists everywhere
