Now app developers would just upload their apps to both stores and Google's power over Android as a whole would be entirely eroded.<p>So no, they definitely don't get to boss the OEMs around. Unlike Microsoft with Windows they don't get to just say "you can't ship Windows^HAndroid anymore".<p>They do have a bit of hold over the OEMs in the form of it being a PITA to fork, access to Google's own apps etc. So I'm not saying they have <i>no</i> leverage, but it's a lot less than what Microsoft has, and definitely not enough to say "my way or the highway". | null | 11,500,329 | null | [

11,503,069 | null | comment | kbart | 1,460,711,543 | My uncle was a driver in Chernobyl cleanup works. There was no question asked if he agreed or not, the soldiers simply came in the middle of a night, told him to pack things, took him having no clue what's going on or where he's going and left a wife with two young children in panic. Only the next day his wife received a message that he's ok and "somewhere in Ukraine". Thanks to his driver's profession, he avoided going inside the reactor building, what probably saved his health/life. Also, there was no official announcement of disaster until after few days later. | null | 11,502,048 | null | [

11,503,079 | null | comment | dkopi | 1,460,711,714 | Commenting on this post while I'm at a coffee shop myself.<p>If I had to pick one city for having the best coffee shops, it would probably be Tel Aviv.
The coffee is great, all coffee shops are laptop friendly (and gladly provide you with the wifi password), and people are very open to social interaction with strangers.
At any given moment you'll find a designer working on a logo, an architecture student reading a post blasting gentrification, entrepreneurs discussing their new startup, or freelancers looking for a break from working at home.
Tel Aviv coffee shops are also very dog friendly, and that's always a great conversation starter.<p>I often find that "could you watch my laptop while i go to the bathroom?" followed by "hey, what are you working on?" is usually the best way to get to know new people.<p>I even find that I'm a lot more productive when I work at a coffee shop instead of an office. A coffee shop provides with just enough distraction and people watching when you need to take a break, but not enough that you completely lose concentration and focus. | null | 11,501,545 | null | [

11,503,096 | null | comment | sievebrain | 1,460,712,137 | Yes, if your heap is huge then code size savings don't matter much. I used to work with C++ apps that were routinely hundreds of megabytes in size though (giant servers that were fully statically linked). So code size isn't totally ignorable either.<p>WRT the theory, that depends what the heap consists of.<p>Imagine an app where memory usage is composed primarily of std::wstring, for example, because you want fast access to individual characters (in the BMP) and know you'll be handling multiple languages. And so your heap is made up of e.g. some sort of graph structure with many different text labels that all point to each other.<p>The JVM based app can benefit from three memory optimisations that are hard to do in C++ ... compressed OOPs, string deduplication and on-the-fly string encoding switches. OK, the last one is implemented in Java 9 which isn't released yet, but as we're theorising bear with me :)<p>Compressed OOPs let you use 32 bit pointers in a 64 bit app. Actually in this mode the pointer values are encoded in a way that let the app point to 4 billion <i>objects</i> not bytes, so you can use this if your heap is less than around 32 gigabytes. So if your graph structure is naturally pointer heavy in any language and, say, 20 gigabytes, you can benefit from this optimisation quite a lot.<p>String deduplication involves the garbage collector hashing strings and detecting duplicates as it scans the heap. As a String object points to the character array internally, that pointer can be rewritten and the duplicates collected, all in the background. If the labels on your graph structure are frequently duplicated for some reason, this gives you the benefits of a string interning scheme but without the need to code it up.<p>Finally the on-the-fly character set switching means strings that can be represented as Latin1 in memory are, with 16 bit characters only used if it's actually necessary. If your graph labels are mostly English but with some non-Latin1 text mixed in as well, this optimisation could benefit significantly.<p>Obviously, as they are both Turing complete, the C++ version of the app could implement all these optimisations itself. It could use 32 bit pointers on a 64 bit build, it could do its own string deduplication, etc. But then you have the same problem as you had with off-heap structures in Java etc: sure, you <i>can</i> write code that way, but it's a lot more pleasant when the compiler and runtime do it for you. | null | 11,499,179 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
11,503,102 | null | comment | sievebrain | 1,460,712,285 | Huh, no, it isn't.<p>Yes, "gradle build" wants to see a "build.gradle" file in the current directory, but you can run "gradle init" to get one. And after that everything except specifying dependencies is by convention.<p>There's really little to no difference in complexity here. What Go saves by not having a build file it loses by not encoding enough information about dependencies in the source, which leads to horrible hacks like vendoring. | null | 11,499,771 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

It is not an MMO nowadays, you just hang around in your personal space, click to get in instances, click to get a selfie, click to buy some gold. I miss the community and the sense of exploration, and private servers, especially those on Vanilla or TBC, are the only ones giving me that feeling.<p>It's years the community ask Blizzard to give us Vanilla/TBC servers, and let us play the game we love. Most of us will pay an higher sub if required, so it's not being cheap.<p>Closing Nostalrius will not bring more people in retail, but the opposite. Most of the people I know are dropping their subscriptions BECAUSE of the action Blizzard has taken. Instead of solving the cause, they are sticking they head in the sands, telling us we don't know what we want, that they know better. Well, numbers don't lie, and the game is empty.<p>So yeah, good work Blizzard, you managed to kill the biggest game in history. And they could make a lot of money with a couple of legacy servers. Those have no costs, except for limited maintenance, and the game development has paid itself years ago. So it is virtually pure profit. | null | 11,502,366 | null | [

11,503,112 | null | comment | bipson | 1,460,712,590 | IIRC its the other way round: your phone will not realize it is actually being plugged into a USB Type-A port, which might not be able to (safely) supply the current a USB 3 Type-C port potentially would allow.
This is done by terminating a certain pin of the cable with a respective resistor, while USB Type A has no such pin and such a cable must thus by default terminate to 56kOhm.<p>If now the cable does _not_ terminate, the phone might think it can draw way more power than the PCs slot can safely deliver, thus frying your PC port.

11,503,137 | null | comment | ckcheng | 1,460,713,063 | I've got quite a few old ClarisWorks files as well. At some point I realized all that data would become unreadable (at least not easily) when that file format becomes unsupported. So I went through every ClarisWorks file (with a script) and saved it out into multiple formats (e.g. RTF, PDF). The hope was at least one of those would open...<p>Batch re-encoding those files at the cusp of losing easy access to them turned out to be a lot of possibly error prone work. So to future-proof important documents, now I do that re-encoding continuously up front, whenever those files are saved.<p>But for long term viability, on top of backups, the files themselves have to be in a format usable by programs that will be around for a long time on platforms that won't disappear.<p>Practically, that means using simple file formats (TXT). Or else using a program (LibreOffice) that creates files in an open format that can be easily re-encoded up front into multiple formats like DOC and PDF. The MultiFormatSave extension for LibreOffice makes it easy to save into multiple formats for that purpose.<p>After all that work though, I just found out LibreOffice can open ClarisWorks files. lol... | null | 11,502,716 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
