End-users can use e.g. waydro.id to run Android apps on Linux.
I’m not deep into Android development, but I doubt it’s possible to just port an app without basically a complete rewrite. Android has an own layer on top of the JVM, called Zygote, and there’s presumably lots of system libraries which the Android apps implicitly depend on, for handling graphics and whatnot, which make tons of assumptions about running on an Android device.
Huh, it really is like spoken English after all.
Ah, I’m not saying there’s a different force being applied to feather vs. hammer. The meme above doesn’t mean that they “fall faster” in the sense that the hammer falls at a higher velocity. It’s rather colloquial usage of “faster” to mean “finishes sooner”. Because what does happen, is that the hammer collides sooner with Earth, since the hammer pulls the Earth towards itself ever-so-slightly stronger than the feather does.
I guess, for this to work, you cannot drop hammer and feather at the same time in the same place, since they would both pull Earth towards themselves with a combined force. You need to drop them one after another for the stronger pull of the hammer to have an effect.
So, this is also going off of this formula:
F = G * mass_1 * mass_2 / distance²
But setting mass_1 as Earth’s mass and mass_2 as either the feather’s or hammer’s mass. A higher mass_2 ultimately leads to a higher force of attraction F.
Wut? This does not turn off gravitational pull for objects other than Earth.
Or I’m misunderstanding what you’re trying to say, but yeah, no clue.
That’s kind of hilarious. At first we had VMs to run entirely separate operating systems. Then we had Containers to separate everything except the kernel. And now we might get separation for just the kernel.
Eh, seems like cool tribal facepaint.
You can find exceptions, but on average, heavier objects will fall very slightly faster than light ones, because they excert their own gravity field onto Earth and therefore pull it towards themselves.
This requires a somewhat unintuitive definition of “falling”, in that both the object and Earth itself moves, but given that any object with mass excerts a gravitational field, there is not actually any other definition.
This isn’t supposed to be readable code, by the way.
I actually doubt that somewhat. The language models do still go off of words to a large degree.
Just ran across this post and your comment by chance, but well, yes:
The importance of memory safety cannot be overstated: a 2019 study estimated that 66% of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) for iOS 12 and 71% of CVEs for Mojave were caused by memory safety issues. […] a Google Project Zero review of exploits detected in-the-wild estimates that 75% of CVEs used in those exploits were memory safety vulnerabilities. Out of the 58 in-the-wild zero-days discovered in 2021, 67% were memory safety vulnerabilities.
Yeah, that sounds about right for what I remember, too.
Huh, I swear I’ve seen a version of this comic where the shopkeeper has been robbed blind in the last panel.
As the other comment said, outside the browser WASI is what does IO. As for DOM access in the browser, I doubt they want to reimplement the DOM API, because:
I try to stay as far away from JS as possible, and I do not think it’s worth developing a WASM DOM API. With a competent framework, you can develop complex web-UIs without ever touching JavaScript, which is good enough for me.
Yeah, part of the reason I like open-source. The devs don’t need to sell you anything, so they can just tell you that what they made is a steaming pile of garbage.
I’ve been noticing that when I read an English text to someone who also speaks my mother tongue, that I will switch to my mother tongue for reading out numbers. For some reason, it feels pretentious to pronounce it in English.
Jujutsu is a Git frontend, from what I understand, much like there’s tons of Git GUIs. So, you interact with it in a different way, but you still push to a Git repository and others can interact with your code by using Git.
I guess, it somewhat lessens the grip of Git, because they can hook different backend services (e.g. Subversion, Mercurial, Fossil) into this frontend, and from what I understand, they plan to develop an own backend eventually. But yeah, for now, the communication standard is still Git.
“Trignometry” might be my favorite typo.
somewhat logical, but entirely in practice verb-noun command structure.
That’s supposed to be “impractical”, not “in practice”, for others reading along.
For example, the “proper” command to list a directory is: Get-ChildItem
The “proper” command to fetch a webpage is: Invoke-WebRequest https://example.com/
In these particular cases, they do have aliases defined, so you can use ls, dir and curl instead, but …yeah, that’s still generally what the command names are like.
It’s partially more verbose than C#, which is one of the most verbose programming languages out there. I genuinely feel like this kind of defeats the point of having a scripting language in the first place, when it isn’t succinct.
Like, you’re hardly going to use it interactively, because it is so verbose, so you won’t know the commands very well. Which means, if you go to write a script with Powershell, you’ll need to look up how to do everything just as much as with a full-fledged programming language. And I do typically prefer the better tooling of a full-fledged programming language…
Yeah, reading this news made me realize that this key is going to be pretty much objectively less useful on Windows, because Microsoft won’t let you rebind keys.
I mean, presumably there’s going to be someone who finds it useful – whatever this key is going to do on Windows – and maybe Microsoft puts in more effort to integrate it into the OS than what you can easily replicate on Linux.
But there’s also going to be lots of users, who will have no use for the functionality – whatever this key is going to do on Windows. And for those users, it’s just a completely useless key on their keyboard…
Well, there’s a separate technology stack for virtualization. So, it would be similar in effect, but the way you get there is different, and it’s possible that it performs better or worse for certain scenarios.
