We have supercomputers in our phones. They can handle it.

Contacts and dialer should maybe be merged. It’s nice to be able to call someone and make notes in that person’s contact page during the call.

Is there some obstacle to writing them? Special SDK privileges or anything like that? Seems like a good thing to degoogle if possible.

I’ve been fairly happy with K9 but if they are about to Mozillify it, I will check out FairEmail.

Email?

This article would be more interesting if it took Grover’s quantum search algorithm into account, and made some kind of physical estimate of its limits. Grover’s algorithm lets you search N items in just sqrt(N) queries.

1. is it on F-droid? 2) Material You sounds awfully trendy, should I worry? 3) Does Swift anything to do with Apple?

I’m pretty happy with the ordinary text editor except I wish it had a one-tap way to insert the current date and time.

Also the badass hotel concierge in the John Wick movies.

I’ll see if I can re-read your original post in the next day or so.

Basically the variables like “greeting” in the program occupy memory locations, like “location 3”. Symbol resolution is when the compiler sees a name and figures out the associated location. Normally that is done with something like a Python dictionary (in the old days you’d have to implement the dictionary yourself, which was an exercise in its own right).

Slightly complicating the python example, there can be local and global variables in separate locations but with the same name. So the compiler has to figure out from context which one you meant. That too is an exercise.

Remote file system then?

I just manually push and it’s fine. Or as the other commenter says, use a single remote machine.

should I completely jumpship to linux when windows 10 ends support

Nah, there’s no need to wait.

It took me some moments to figure out that this is an Android launcher. Nice. I guess it will be on droid at some point.

Things just weren’t like that then. Otherwise all PC peripherals would be locked down too, so no device drivers. That was already a problem with cheap windows crap. But the better stuff was documented.

Maybe there would be no Linux but that isn’t as bad as it sounds, since BSD Unix was being pried loose at the time, plus there were other kernels that had potential. And the consumer PCs we use now weren’t really foreseen. We expected to run on workstation class hardware that was more serious (though more expensive) than PCs were at the time. They would have stayed less locked down.

Thinkpad Yoga?

Fair enough. If your product isn’t safety or security critical then it’s mostly a matter of getting it working and passing reasonable testing. If it’s critical you might look for outside help or review, and maybe revisit the decision to use C.

The book “Analysable Real-Time Systems: Programmed in Ada” was recommended to me and looks good. I have a copy that has been on my reading pile for ages. I was just thinking about it recently. It could be a source of wisdom about embedded dev in general, plus Ada generally fosters a more serious approach than C does, so it could be worth a look. I also plan to get Koopman’s book that I mentioned earlier.

I’d consider the server first. If the person you’re emailing uses Gmail, then Google already has the contents, so privacy on the client doesn’t help much.

Get a USB hub (7 port is common), plug the USB drives in, then run a script that copies the iso to one drive after another. USB itself sucks enough that trying to do them in parallel is likely asking for trouble.
