It shouldn't take any development time, but the app stores are all run on over-caffeinated ferret logic, so yeah, they do need to have someone update.

Keeping things updated is like a week of work for one junior developer every few years. A small team could do it for a large company's apps in perpetuity. But under the ideology of capitalist software management, keeping such a team around is functionally impossible. (They would have idle time, some manager would see that and give them extra work, then when the app updating job picked back up, that manager would convince everyone that the other work they were doing is more important than updating apps.)

I think he's on the relatively short list of democrats with so little charisma that they could actually lose to Trump. But I think even the DNC knows this.

But what if we add one branch for each subset of the set of all real numbers.

What you're missing is that I'm just posting things with whatever headline will make people laugh.

concerning, keep us updated

 

This goose is an American woodcock. They're well known for their dance moves and impeccable taste in music.

 

This goose is an Eurasian eagle-owl. "Wow, what a dumb name for an owl," you might say. But wait until you hear its scientific name.

 

This goose is a double-crested cormorant. When it flies, it looks like its wings are on backwards, which is pretty neat. But it's also a remarkably foul-smelling bird, like worse than a penguin.

 

This goose is an ʻiʻiwi. They're supposed to be symbolic of Hawaii, but in my experience the most common bird on Hawaii is the invasive coqui frog.

 

The Busy Beaver numbers are how long a Turing Machine of some size can run and still halt. There are different ways of formulating them, but the most common is the number of steps a 2-symbol, N-state machine can run before halting. These numbers go 1, 6, 21, 107, 47176870.

The 6th number is already known to be higher than 10⇈15.

 

This goose is a weka. It's a brown flightless bird native to New Zealand, but not related to kiwis.

This goose is a Eurasian penduline tit. Check out that sweet little Zoro mask.

 

thank you for being subjected to this pun

 
 

That's one heck of a goose.

 

I hope everyone enjoys salmonella.

 

It's funny because he's right and that's absurd, and it's also funny because it's a billionaire's sour grapes.
