To use many words to communicate few thoughts is everywhere the unmistakable sign of mediocrity. To gather much thought into few words stamps the man of genius.
[Viele Worte machen, um wenige Gedanken mitzutheilen, ist überall das untrügliche Zeichen der Mittelmäßigkeit; das des eminenten Kopfes dagegen, viele Gedanken in wenige Worte zu schließen.]Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) German philosopher
Parerga and Paralipomena, Vol. 2, ch. 23 “On Authorship and Style [Über Schriftstellerei und Stil],” § 283 (1851) [tr. Saunders (1890)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/schopenhauer-arthur/…

🥱 Wow, Android 17 is here, but judging by the excitement level of this article, it might as well be Android 1.7 with a few extra emojis. The VP of Product Management valiantly attempts to copy-paste the same uninspired buzzwords about #Jetpack and #Kotlin like a true master of #mediocrity. 🚀📉

If you’re trying to register for a Bank of Ireland account and the form fails silently, don’t worry, it’s simple to find out what happened and fix it.
1. Open up developer tools on your browser
2. Copy the failed regular expression from the console
3. Put it, and your generated password into Regexr (https://regexr.com)And voila, as you can see the problem with mine* was that it hit the 16 character limit which was, to keep things exciting, not mentioned on the page.
Simples.
What muppets!
* Don’t worry, it’s a different one now.

It’s not rocket science, folks.
