I'm not disagreeing with that statement in any way, shape or form. But try to post something--get involved and try to be an active participant as opposed to just googling things and ending up on SO--and the experience becomes something else altogether.

That's the truth, they're a PITA to deal with.

Not the same.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I completely missed that it was April Fools Day. Proof, if needed, that I have no idea what day it is anymore. Worst case scenario, is that I'll be getting up on Saturday morning and "going to work"!

Andrew Stuart on Twitter: "I think I just got a group of goats in Llandudno arrested.
Let me explain... first, I saw this from inside a dark pub (the one I live in currently). I thought I was seeing things. So I took some video:… https://twitter.com/AndrewStuart/status/1243329253288169473

Apple acquires popular weather app Dark Sky and will shut down the Android version - The Verge[^]
I've never heard of Dark Sky before. But I'm curious, what would Apple want with it? Thoughts?
Somehow it must be part of their plan to overtake the world but I'm not imaginative enough to see how.

Do they not want anyone who works for them to have android programming skills?

Well - doesn't that mean that if you want to play with this that you must buy an apple device?

Never heard of it before: I use AccuWeather which has a minute-by-minute very local rain forecast. Handy if you have washing out on the line ...
The BBC weather app is pretty good as well, but only resolves to "50% chance this hour" and gets increasingly unreliable as the hours mount up (as is normal for weather forecasts)

On android, I use one that's built into the clock I like. It can draw from Met.no, Foreca, or Open Weather, but they all say pretty much the same thing ("it's cold and windy, and will probably rain" -- and that's on a good day).
I don't see the point in hunting for a super-accurate one, because none of them are -- although the Buienalarm [^] radar app is pretty damned good at telling precisely when it's going to rain (in NL; it doesn't work so well elsewhere).

I have an iPhone but it's because my company bought it. It works well enough. But I don't get the hype over apple stuff.

My first job in 84 was programming on an Apple II and I could see then what was going on and never owned another.
And you're right they don't need my help there are plenty of people that do buy their products.
