No Stupid Questions (Developer Edition)

Like if I'm using print statements to test my code. Is it okay to leave stuff like that in there when "publishing" the app/program?

To what extent will these changes, and potential future changes along the same trajectory, affect the use of un-substitutable apps on Graphene OS?

Play Integrity API - 2024 Dec

The transition to the new verdicts will reduce the device signals that need to be collected and evaluated on Google servers by ~90% and our testing indicates verdict latency can improve by up to ~80%.

the huge ratio of reduction suggests to me that the attestation is being offloaded from Google servers to on-device AI, but maybe i assume wrong. my instinct tells me Google would always make this impossible for 3rd party OS to implement anyway.

Hypothetically, If implementing that AI in Graphene could allow most attestation-requiring apps to install and run normally, is that something the Graphene devs would do? i know it would have to be secure and private, so assuming there was a way...

I'm not pro AI, not the surveillance big data capitalism kind at least. just wondering about the scenarios and what prep or extra work i would have to do.

In my understanding, the options need to be customized for each machine, as well as the fact that making packages for tons of distros can be a lot of work for solo or small team devs, and that's why some software is provided as .tar only.

but it seems like the install process on the user side could be automated to a single command or drag-drop, as long as the script would throw informative alerts for any errors and the user is prepared to take over manually.

does something like this exist in a standalone form that's not bundled like snaps or flatpaks?

if not, is there a broadly-applicable reason (security, damaging OS, etc) that makes it a terrible idea? or simply that no one has gotten to it?

The idea is making deployment so simple even a 13 year old could republish the website in cloudflare or github pages.

Any other tactics are welcome

The wikipedia articles are terribly written (for math loves or people who just need to refresh their knowledge).

What is a "sum" of types? What is a product of types? Is it possible to Cat x Dog or Cat + Dog? What does that even mean?

So I want to build blender fork but it fails to build on Visual Studio 2022. There is already a patch and a open PR that fixes the issue.

I have already git cloned the repository and I would want to only get the patch into my local repository. So I can build from that.

I think from what I've read that this is the case, but I've read some other info that's made it less clear to me.

On the second part of the question regarding container engines, I'm pretty sure that may also be correct, and it kinda makes me wonder a little about risks of engine lock-in, but that may be a little out of scope.

I have 5 years experience as full time job.

However I never do freelancer job before.

How do I start on finding freelancer job ?
