I don't trust the battery usage screen. When I debloated my phone, battery life increased from 1,5 days to 5 days and those were all apps I don't use.

> GrapheneOS recommendation to this was to have fewer apps Sounds reasonable. People tend to install way too many apps on their phones and than blame the phone about short battery life or too many notifications.

What's so hard? A developer finds a bug, fixes it, publishes a new release at some point, done. Versus someone else finds a bug, maybe opens a CVE, bug gets fixed, maintainer might notice it, backports patch and fixes (or breaks) the p

Nope, it hasn't because developers fix bugs along the way without notifying package maintainers.

Oh dear, that reminds me of one of my courses I had to take where we had to memorise the WAM and execute it on paper in the exam. Most useless course ever.

I ran it on my desktop at that time and only had to switch to Linux because FreeBSD 5.0 wasn't compatible with my machine anymore.

I'm not sure what C/C++ compilers you have in mind but bootstrapping older GCC and LLVM versions on modern systems is far from trivial and typically requires patching (e.g. older LLVM versions do not compile with modern compilers)

Wouldn't a 1£ Linux VM as Wireguard access point suffice?

Same for me, also the "screen" size is off (just shows window size), the location is off by hundreds of kilometres and other information is quite generic (battery level "kept back", small set of standard fonts available.

What language/toolchain/platform are you talking about because C/C++/Python/... all have the same issues?

by Milpotel 5mo ago
I can recommend "The song of the cell" as a starting point. If you prefer textbooks, maybe "Life: The Science of Biology". I have a translated non-english copy and besides some math issues it's a nice overview, but

I had the opposite experience. Creating the parts was easy with some tutorials but when I went to the assembly step it failed horribly. There are different plugins/ways how you can do it but none of them worked and the console solely g

But the "references" in Euler seem to be close to references nowadays. There is no access to the address, no pointer arithmetic etc. such as in PL/I.

> the first language having pointers with explicit dereferencing was Euler, published completely in 1966-01 I could only find a manual for PDP-10 Euler with references. Do you have a source for an Euler with pointers?

Nice, and that was implemented and qualifies as high-level language?

by Milpotel 6mo ago
I'm pretty sure that this is not true. I talked to Bud Lawson (the inventor of the pointer) and he claimed that they had implemented special behaviour for null pointers earlier. When I talked to Tony later about it, he said he had neve

I hope the code quality will improve and their "we don't need tests because we use fuzzing... sometimes..." attitude changes.
