Although if you’re doing it a lot, you’ve basically removed the main advantage of using Rust.

By the way, how is compilation to things other than LLVM going? I haven’t checked in a while.

Aww. I just like funny stuff.

Doesn’t is still use closed-source Chrome components?

Usually “I’m an expert” gets followed by “here’s why your question is stupid and I won’t answer it”. Non-powertripping experts just answer the question, or ignore it if it really is dumb.

It’s a non-market way of doing things, so sure it fits the definition, but labels are dumb, and the people who really like labels are worse.

You’ll also notice that you still have to pay for whatever device Linux goes on, which is a strong hint about the economics at play.

What is this from?

Interesting. I’ve tried Linux phones, they’re not a bad idea per se. It looks like Waydroid is literally just emulating LineageOS, though, so I do start to wonder what the point is.

I suppose one advantage would be you can actually hack your system a bit, instead of having everything locked into the ROM.

And even this improvement wasn’t universally appreciated: some people found error messages they couldn’t ignore more annoying than wrong results, and, when judging the relative merits of programming languages, some still seem to equate “the ease of programming” with the ease of making undetected mistakes.

This guy was writing in the year x86 was first introduced, and I still feel like I see this attitude around.

(He manages to shoehorn in a “kids these days” comment too, though)

Yes, but quality takes actual skill to measure, instead of just a diff.

(Although I guess lines are still better than time in office)

Hmm, was the boss hoping to turn that into a “why do I even pay you” moment?

If you don’t care about installing any particular mobile software, that would work.

LineageOS is the current game in town otherwise, unless you want a Pixel, in which case there’s options like GrapheneOS.

Honestly, cut to the chase and switch ROMs. Google isn’t going to budge.

I can’t tell if they haven’t thought through what that would mean for them themselves, or they know it’s BS but it’s still good for marketing.

Yeah. Surveillance is covered already.

Overkill. Just find the illegal no-age-collection ISO. Installing with your middle finger raised is optional, but recommended.

Again, that’s what the 6000 remaining employees would be for.

Foresight FTW.

In the end we inplemented NoTaD pointers (“notified on target destruction”, essentially weak pointers but this was back in the day when weak pointers and smart pointers weren’t really well defined) that would discover when the thing they took a precious pointer to was actually no longer valid.

It’s weird to me that programming practice has changed that much in 20 years. That’s still closer to today than to Dennis Richie doing his thing.

Hmm, guy who wrote his own kernel because he didn’t like the ones that existed. I’m sure he’s totally neurotypical. /s

Lol!

Okay, that’s way too right now. Of course he did.
